ONE OF THE VIRTUES OF SALT.

The woman addressed glanced
up inquiringly. to meet the serious
eyes of the waiter bent upon her. She
had been ruefully contemplating a
good sized spot upon an otherwise

her with tray perilously poised in the

His air Of conviction generated hope
for the perturbed woman. She applied
the salt
Then there was a subdued rustic as
several women who had dropped into
the restaurant for a hurried MONDAY
lunch and who had been sufferers all
from the same accident bent forward
to watch developments.
The salt was left on the spot for
moment; then II was brushed away
with a napkin. Presto! The spot had
vanished. With a gentle sigh Of relief
the woman glanced up to meet wide
smile and a triumphant nod from the
waiter, who went on nonchalantly
Ticking the crumbs from the table to
the floor.

The minaret effect popular during
the winter influences the seasons

ripping flare at the wrists Of sleeves,
in the tunics and in parasols and hats
Is omnipresent and exceedingly chic.
In the center figure is shown the nar-

skirt being fashioned of a fancy weave.
The belted short coat is fastened in the
front with q green leather buckle, the

the same ornamentation. Buttoned boots
with cloth tops and embroidered gloves
accompany this smart costume
The remaining model of the illustra-
ton was built OF navy serge and Is
only another example Of the popular
ity of the abbreviated coat The tunic
is of a unique cut while the yoke in
the skirt is a new feature which would
be smart upon a slender figure. The
costumes this spring were fashioned
for the woman with adipose tissue, 1t
seems to me, for never were there 30
many contrivances by which the stout
woman may be made to look precisely
like her slender sister as now. The
loose coat, the draped pannier, the
plated tunic cleverly built, all these
conceal the fact that milady has grown

BEAUTY SPOTS.

women have not used the alluring
beauty patch with SO much art as 1t is
used today. II milady is possessed of
beautiful eyes a patch placed high up
on the cheek at the outer corner Of the
eye will draw attention to this fact, or
fascinating dimple in the cheek can
be made doubly attractive by placing
near it tiny patch. These black vel
vet beauty spots, cut in disks, big and
little. in triangles and in various odd
designs, are sold by the box. The re-
verse side Is covered with a gumlike
substance which fastens the velvet Sc
curely to the skin when it is slightly

~HOPP1NG to the average wo-
man is simply means to an
end. a disagreeable duty to be
~ scrambled through with speed
and much bemoaning. But "to travel
Is better than to arrive" II the business
Of shopping is undertaken with eyes
sharpened by the imagination. Then
n veil of glamour and romance will en-
velop this seemingly prosaic business
Of getting oneself clothed.
The shops this spring are gorgeous
with bewildering fabrics fashioned by
oriental LOOMS while some of the coun-
ters bloom with the dainty colors of
the sweet pea blossoms. Colors vivid
and shades pastel in turn excite adm-
ration and, while the exquisite Cloth

Of an eve to foreign countries with
their differing peoples and customs,
Just as surely does the delicate color
ing Of the cotton fabrics lead us
through the simple old fashioned gar
den Of childhood.
In the choosing Of her spring frocks
madame of the mode Is always con-
rronted by the tailleur. This used to
mean a creation fashioned along Sc
verely unfeminine lines, which, when
donned, subtly and insidiously caused
dainty femininity to feel manuish. so
susceptible is womankind to her outer
adorning.
This severity of outline and finish is
taboo by the best tailors and dress
makers now, however. To enhance wo-
manly charm, to raise femininity to the
nth power, is the effect sought. To
this end the supple fabrics of silk and
even cotton in the loveliest of shades
are used, enriched with embroideries
and often with frills of lace appearing
at wrist and neck.
The severely unitarian tailleur may
be used for rainy days and for country
wear, but even for travelling the more
feminine modes are worn.
The gown at the left of the accom-
panying illustration is a striking ex-

Of a rich chambertin shade was used
in this striking spring model from one
of the leading Paris houses. The short
coat has a yoke effect and Is further

front and is plated around the sides
and back. which is new and interest

everything sartorial for women.
