CLEVER IDEAS FOR BLOUSES
Delicate Net Waist and Corset Cover
Are to Be Fastened to the
Same Belt.

A clever New York designer has
made use of French idea in devising
blouses of French net, known as tulle
or blonde and other extremely sheer
fabrics. By themselves, as every wo-
man knows, net waists are so delicate
that the wearing of them is a some
what trying and uncertain proceed
ing. 1t is practically impossible to
anchor them securely in any one po-
sition. And there can be no such
quality as eft" because of the neces-
sity of having them large in order to
keep them from breaking out.
This New York designer has got
around these objections by putting a
corset cover of lace, embroidery and
ribbons inside the net waist and fas-
tening. both corset cover and waist to
the same belt. The ribbons can be
run in and taken out at will and the
combination corset cover and blouse
easily Numbered in one piece. These
blouses are a distinct novelty and
quite an inexpensive one. Another
model by the same designer is in
white cotton crepe with a regular
Montenegro jacket, also of the crepe,
but with Persian border. The color
ing is repeated in the buttons and the
bow at the neck.

REALLY WILL WHlTEN HANDS
Mixture of Yellow cornmeaI and ker.
osene Removes Coarseness Within
Short Time.

For softening and whitening the
hands vanity has another assistant be-
sides cold cream. 1t is the simplest
of home remedies, and has the great
merit of being far quicker in it's eff
fects and less bother to use than the
cream. 1t is just mixture of yellow
cornmeal and kerosene.
Take handful of the meal, as one
would take soap, moisten this with the
kerosene as with water, and rub the
hands as though they were being
washed. After this wash them in
warm water. That is the whole pro-
cess. Yet the results. particularly IL
one must do homework, by which the
hands are always coarsened, is truly
satisfactory.
No odor of kerosene is left after
rinsing, and, strange as it may seem,
the effect is excellent on the tiny cuts
and bruises which come with house
work. OF course kerosene and yellow
meal have not a dainty sound, but the
condition which they produce is dain-
tiness, so that the important point is
reached after all.

One of the objections sometimes
made to the use of concrete in build
ing construction is the fact that the
finished surface Is rough and no at
tempt is made to give finish to the
surface, either in the molds or after
their removal. This is probably due
to an idea that interfering with the
surface would destroy the skin of the
concrete and lessen its usefulness.
Two methods are now being sue
cessfully employed, giving a finish to
concrete either in nodded blocks. or
monolithic construction in place. The
first of these methods is to apply
fresh granite to the face of the mold,
which gives it all the finish and dur
ability of granite ashlar This finish
ing material Is ground and sifted into
various sizes, several of which are
employed in making the facing mix
ture, on the same principal as mixing
aggregates so as to fill the voids. The
best proportion is one of cement to
three of aggregate Of different sizes.
"a small quantity of hydrated lime is
added, which on account of its fine
ness, acts as a waterproofng, like
wise preventing the block from stick
ing to the mold. The ingredients are
thoroughly mixed while still dry. The
face of the mold is wiped clean and
dry. A thin layer of almost dry spar
mixed with a little cement mixed with
little hydrated lime is spread on
the plate. On top of this half inch
of ordinary mixture is spread, then
layer of rich backing and finally, the
ordinary block mixture which should
be tamped hard.
The above method is the one used
when face down concrete block ma
chine is used, while the reverse proc
cess is used with face up machine
In this case the grit or feldspar is
sifted dry on the wet cement. The
spar may be pressed into the surface
by running roller over It. After 1t
has set the surface is washed with

sprays of fine flowers and leaves. Like
the sheets, which at the right upper
corner are engraved with the home ad-
dress, the envelopes are of a sort of
parchment paper in old ivory--a tone
which, at the moment, is ultra-smart
in stationery.
Long oblong sheets of glazed-surface
paper with half-inch lap-over at one
end and fitting into extremely narrow
envelopes with straight flaps, are an
other stationery novelty of this season.
These sheets and envelopes come in
French gray. cream and light brown
shades and to match them are two by
six inch correspondence cards-also
with lap-over ends-and exceedingly
narrow envelopes.
A new idea in mourning stationery
is the envelope in pure white save for
fine line of black defining its deeply
pointed flap but with black tissue
paper lining. The sheets are merely
edged with black and the address en-
graved in black skeleton lettering.
