MODIsH HAT TRIMMINGS

Fur trimmings are exceptionally
fashionable. Shapes fringed with fur
are shown by high-class shape i'm

In trimmings, very tall, slim effects
placed at some striking angle rule.
Ostrich is the foremost feather.
Many novelties are shown, prominent
among which are tips in plaid colored
effects and aigrettes made Of ostrich
tassels. In some instances the end of
the ostrich fiues are treated SO as to
resemble numidie. Moderate use is
made of wings, quilts, goura, nu-
midie, hackle, cog and cassowary in
the new forms. Paradise continues

Ribbons, particularly moires, says

vogue Fruit and flowers, especially
in small novel bouquet effects and
rich. soft colors, are held in fair
esteem by the high-class trade.

How to Preserve Leaves and
Berries for Indoor Dec
OratiOns.

The real object of searching the
woods is to acquire material for those
delightful surprises which the clever
hostess can produce in the middle of
winter The woman who has tried
1t before" may declare that her har-
vest of leaves simply shriveled up
and was only a nuisance, but with a
little care the spoils of the woods
may be preserved for considerable
time.
Branches that are to be kept should
be gathered as soon as the leaves are
fully tinted. 1t is impossible to pre-
serve them for long after they have
once begun to wither or been exposed
to frost. The leaves should not be
too full as large number are hard
to manage. First stand the branches
in jar and water with a fine flower
spray until all dust has been removed
leaving the branches to drain in their
upright position.
When the drying is complete apply
clear copal varnish to the branches
and again leave to dry. To make
sure of the preservation of a particu-
larly attractive branch the leaves
should be secured to the stems by fine
needles, the tops of which may be
snapped off after the vanishing proc

To Destroy Pests

There is a simple remedy for de-
stroying insects that are sometimes
found on household pets, dogs. cats,
birds, etc, that is not generally
known, but which is said to be -abso
lutely sure in its results. 1t Is simply
to wash the animal with the water in
which potatoes have been boiled.
When preparing the vegetable for
dinner put. plenty of water in, the
vessel in which they are boiled; then.
when the potatoes are, thoroughly
cooked, pour this water off into
bucket or pam. When it is almost

Fat Women Must

THE roly-poly fat woman, short

and all the other types of stout
women are clamoring for the costume
which will give them long lines The
welldressed stout woman learned
long ago that if she would look her
best she must avoid tight clothes She
must also ignore the costume that is
conspicuous, whether 1t is the fabric,
the color or the design which makes
it so. Soft materials which drape
easily, striped fabrics where the
stripe is not too pronounced, and
neutral colors are all things which
the stout woman should consider in
planning her clothes" says the
Woman's<Home Companion Purple,
navy blue, the darkest of browns and
green's and deep-toned taupes are all
becoming and appropriate colors for

splendent with all sorts of materials
this year that the sunfast materials
will be more popular than ever, both
for window and door draperies.
Our old friend the Nottingham cur
tain, is also to be found in new and
more artistic designs in every high
class store. The woven scrim is an
other line in which splendid variety
of artistic patterns and colorings are
being displayed and these promise to
be more popular perhaps than the
printed scrim which has been used so
much during the past few seasons.
In floor coverings the stores are
showing almost as wide a range of
materials and certainly the most ar
tistic selection of patterns and color
ings that have ever been made to
beautify the home. 1t is also worth
while noting that the honest, we'll
made domestic rug will replace the
poorer class of factory made ORR
entails. Most of the better class of
stores are now showing deep pile,
heavy wool-yarn Wilton Rug. such
as have come into favor so largely
with the big hotels. These are made
up in the Oriental patterns, or other
conventional designs, and not only
make a splendid appearance on the
floor, but with average wear are al
most indestructible. Indeed, it is the
ability to withstand the hardest kind
of usage which has made this type of
fabric so popular for hotel use.
Next time you go shopping you
want to be sure to look for linoleum.
There never has been so many varied
and artistic patterns obtainable in
this floor covering as at the present
time. The fact that linoleum is posi-
lively a sanitary floor covering
started a surprising popularity for it
a few years ago, which has been
growing since that time, and
added to this we have discovered that
it makes a very warm floor covering
for the winter.
Europe realized the advantages of
linoleum long before we considered 1t
of value in this country for anything
of the kitchen. But it seems
likely that we shall now rival Europe
in the use of linoleum for the bed
room, sitting-room and other pur-
poses.
The popularity of this covering has
brought into the stores a new floor
covering in the past few seasons. 1t
bears the same strong, attractive pat
terms as the printed linoleum.
Instead of being made from foun-
dation of ground cork and oxidized
linseed oil, as in the case of regular
linoleum, this new fabric is modifi-
cation of the patent roofings which
have been used successfully during the

/ PAST few years When on the floor
of course, it is like printed linoleum
and should certainly prove valuable
in the extreme, for a floor covering
gets none of the hard usage from the
elements to which a roof is con-
stantly subjected.
Another line of merchandise which
is being admirably displayed these
days is wicker furniture. We seem to
have suddenly recognized that wicker
not only is artistic and pretty, but is
extremely comfortable as well. A room
furnished with a set of wicker furni-
ture with cretonne cushions, with Gre
tonne of a similar patterns at the win
dows and a gobelin rug of the same
pattern and coloring on the floor, is
restful alike to mind and body.
Such furnishings are we'll suited to
the sitting room and library. but.
above all, for the bedroom of the
daughter of the house or the young
bride.
Speaking OF bedroom furnishings,
one of the very newest IDEAS recently
brought into prominence is the use of
embroidered bed sets. For years the
lace spread has been popular, but no
one seems to have realized until the
past few months the possibilities of
embroidery for this particular pur-
pose.
Relative to bedroom fittings, sur
prising advances have been made in
the matter of sanitary bedding in the
last few years. This subject has been
thoroughly agitated in the Legisla-
lures of several States. Realizing
that most people spend practically
one-third of their lives in bed, the
lawmakers have decided that it is
nearly as important to have pure
bedding as it is to have pure food
And American women apparently
have themselves. decided that comfort
and cleanliness must go hand In
hand. The result has been that while
laws have only been passed in one
been quick to realize the wishes of
the public, with the result that many
of the better classes of stores are
featuring their mattresses, whether
of hair or cotton, from a sanitary
viewpoint. and are handling, either
exclusively or to prominent extent,
new feather pillows rather than rem
ovated ones, since 1t is difficult even
with the most careful renovating, to
purify old feathers
In short, when milady goes shop
ping for housefurnishings the store
should be prepared to furnish her
not only with the best, but with the
most artistic merchandise. And it is
often possible, by the use of good
taste and judgment, to furnish her

D ARTS has broken loose in a new

D ARTS has broken loose in a new
spot
A year and a half ago Paris die
tAted black and white as the proper
oolorings for home decorations. Now
the French decorators have gone to
the other extreme and are using a
perfect riot of colors.
The Cubists, whose weird produc-
tions have recently been exhibited in
this country, have had considerable
influence upon this change, but then
Paris only needs a suggestion to
touch off it's volatile temperament
OF course America never swallows
the Paris ideas whole, but sugar
coated and modified to meet our con-
ditions we certainly adopt the many
themes of the Partisan dictates.
1t is interesting to note that back
of these apparently rapid changes in
upholstery styles new influence in
decoration is at work.
Some years ago a community of
artists in Vienna formed themselves
in what they called a WerlS Staate.
Their idea was to furnish, decorate
and equip a house complete. But
they soon ran into ''snags" in trying
to get the sort of draperies which
they thought were necessary to carry
out their ideas. This led to their
creating fabrics for their own uses
and finally for the general market
Today these Werk States are or
ganizing in most of the European
centres and as each has its own idea
of decoration we are getting from
Europe more new styles and sugges-
tions for identifying the home than
we have had for many years past.
incidentally, all of this u ork is be-
Ing done, or at least most of it, with
I'm idea of the average home in mind
These artists say that in the past all
decorative ideas have had their origin
In the palace of the king or mobiles
and that, therefore, they were totally
unsuited for the great middle class of
people. This new school is to give
us artistic decoration which will meet
the needs of the average home.
There is one thing which the house
wife can we'll remember in considering
the furnishings of a room and that is
the strong tendency to run both car
pets and draperies to the Dashboard
For long while we had the rug idea
and the sill length curtain as the
popular ideal in furnishings. But
rugs cannot give the fully furnished
effect of a carpet and sill length cur
tains lack the graceful lines of the
longer drapery.
If your window has a projecting sill
the white curtain may be of short
length but the overdrape should al
ways reach the Dashboard. Just at
this period the retail stores are re-
