BEAUTY CHATS
CARE OF YOUR
TOILET ESSENTIALS

It is not simply a matter of clean Illness and daintiness to take care of your washcloths, sponges, towels, etc It is a matter of hygiene and person. al health.
 The above mentioned articles are germ collectors. That is certain. The best thing we can do is to rem der them as impervious to infection as possible by taking good care of them.
 First, your washcloth. After using it, rinse it thoroughly in first hot wa ter, then cold water As a washc1oth is generally woven loosely, it can be pulled out of shape. Therefore, I advise you to see to it that it is pulled in shape before putting away.
 In the last rinsing put a little dis infectant. Then wiring it out as well as you possibly can, and hang it up on an airy rack in the sunlight. If you can put it in a current of air, so much the better. Do not throw it down on the stand in a wet heap and bath-tub. Put it where the air can get to it. Anything that comes in such persistent contact with your face so many times a day should be thoroughly aired and sterilized.
 A sponge is still harder to handle. It seems to have a particular affinity for soap and is exceedingly difficult to rinse. And if the soap is left in it it becomes perfect hotbed for germs, and rots away inside, becorn- ing smelly and unpleasant.
 It also should be hung up on a hook somewhere where the air and sun can reach it. All the water should be squeezed out of it, and the disinfecting bath is always good.
 The towels should be hung up fiat not folded agaian after using.
 Keep your own toilet articles to let nf yours, and do not use the cloths, sponges, etc., of the other members of your family.
 In choosing a washc1oth get one with a medium rough surface, as the stimulation is good for the skin, and there is no stimulation with a smooth cloth I advise using smooth tow el first to mop" up the water from the face, and then a rough-fabric towel to gently massage the face and bring the red blood to the surface.

Easy and Practical Suggestions
FOR THE
HOr1E DRESSMAKER

Dotted chiffon or shadow lace and satin are combined to make this eff fective frock. It consists of bodice having a deep vest back and front, made of a1l-over Venise or other lace, and a draped skirt.
 Combinations of sheer materials are extremely fashionable this season and .hey are never employed to better ad- vantage than in modes for formal wear: White and blue, with dash of iris or black would make an excellent color scheme. The chiffon has back ground of white, the dots being in blue, while the sash is of iris satin or panne velvet. An immense velvet rose is placed at the belt in front.
 Four yards of 36-inch chiffon and 5 yards of 32-inch satin are required to make this costume, with 2 yards of 27- inch satin for the. girdle.
 The dress may be worn over a silk slip and then no lining is required. The bodice makes a charming matinee blouse when worn separately. The neck may be finished in four outlines high round, low round, V-shaped or square.
 The sleeves are easily managed, the under part being long or short as pre- ferred. Tn making the body of the sleeve seams as notched. Now, turn under edges on slot perforations. Plait lower edge of front and back bringing single "T' perforatiops to correspond ing small "o' perforations and tack. Gather lower edge between double TIT" perforations. Arrange on under body, centers and under-arm seams even (sing1e large 70" perforation in dicates center-front, double 100" per forations, center-back) crossing as il- frustrated. Bring single small 70" per forations in outside to corresponding small "o'' perforations in underbody and tack.
 Front of pep1um indicated by large 70" perforations. Close front seam. sew to lower edge of waist, centers even, notch at under-arm seam.
 If the slit effect at the skirt is not favored, it is easy to add a p1aited f1ounce to the under side of the front drapery.
 This model is also admirably suited to development iii bordered materials.
