about what tho correspondent

Belgian government after the fal

Germans claimed 10 have Learned

WOMEN WHO LIKE SIMPLICITY
MAY FIND FASHIONS TO SUIT

There are always women who shun
the ornate and demand the suit, dress
or hat that is simple and therefore
effective. OF course, there must be
perfection in line and elegance In ma
terial, but It has been counted up. and
the balance sheet seems to favor the
adherents of the simple in dress.
A dance frock of taffeta in deep
rose shade has a bodice cut on sur
plice lines, with an edging OF French
blue velvet. The sleeves are short
and decidedly belled at the lower line.
The fiaring skirt is attached to the
waist line with a cording of French
blue. A piping of the same finishes
the belled lines at the lower skirt.
And that is all, but it is one of the
most effective styles that have been
shown. 1t is particularly good for
a young girl, says the Philadelphia
North American

THE BRIDES OWN STORY

After breakfast ! come upstairs to
"straighten out" and there's a def
mite schedule for that. First, the
bed is made up. and Aunt Juliette
had to give me few lessons before
/ did 1t absolutely right. without
waste effort. Now 1t takes me three
minutes to place the cover on the
mattress, tuck in the under sheet
all around with wide hem at the top
and angles at the corners; then on
goes the top sheet, blankets follow,
and then flap of the upper sheet
is turned over the things at the top.
There's a lovely blue bed valance
that covers II all.
Five minutes Is enough to sweep
my room with the soft hair brush,
following 1t with the oil mop, plus 3
thorough going over of table, chairs,
chiffonler and woodwork with the
dustless buster.
At least once q week there Is a
grand airing of the wardrobe's con.
tents and a thorough busting ana
cleansing of every bit of its shelves
and corners.
I've observed, however, that it
isn't altogether due to my innate
speed that / get through so quickly,
but because of the tools, which are
just right for every KIND OF Clean
ing needed, and also because of the
scientifically correct furnishing OF
my room None of the furniture has
carving or funny claws that always
do look musty. Everything has
straight, simple lines, with not an
unnecessary creyice for a dust par
ticle to make his permanent home
And yet my room is attractive and
artistic, but II has taken house clean
| ing to prove to nae that simple lines
are hesf.

Woman and Her Waistline

The days of tight lacing and its at
tendant agonies have gone by-enter
the era of comfort! Do you remem-
Der when the low collar was looked
down upon? And when you prided
yourself on q wasp-like waist? And,
lastly, do you remember when you
waited impatiently for some one to
hook you up?
AS the practical and lasting remedy
for all these evils, let us sing the
praises of the fashions. The V
shaped collar is no other than god
send. We look back upon the hours
spent in patiently clamping those
enemies to beauty, coilar-bones, to
the impossible "choker' with regret.
And are not our necks all the better
for the change? After all, nature
knows best what things are good for
her children, and the low, natural col
lar line must be one of them, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
The natural waist line is another
benefit to poor suffering femininity.
The fixed, CHASTITY smile OF the dancer
with tight slippers on is gleelut
grin compared to the woman who is
all pulled in" Long live the twenty
x-inch waistl
A woman is the inventor OF the
snap fastener. Her name may pc
forgotten. but her invention, never!
The button down-the-front costume is
another first aid TO quick dressing.
You can race madly for the last train
and snap your fasteners on the way
"a very safe proceeding when you
can see what you are doing.
With all these practical helps TO
good looks. and more important still,
comfort, there Is no excuse for the
modern woman to wear the ancient,
agonized expression.

The Care of Our Bedrooms.

The C0fo OF OuF DruhO"hbSs
always took care of my own room
while at college, and even when
was quite little girl, but I never
liked the work of 1t as do now.
Aunt .Iuliette carries her step-saving
idea Of keeping tools where they are
used into every part of the house,
which accounts why she and all the
family have time 20 do many things.
And the step-saving idea which won
her my undying gratitude is that she
keeps the mops and busters for up
stairs cleaning upstairs. just as sne
keeps downstairs the mops and dlls-
tiers for cleaning on that floor. NO
running up and down stairs tiresome-
ly for your cleaning tools! It's true,
ii means the duplication of few
tools hut they are inexpensive ones,
nd the extra cost is more than made
nm NV the steps and time saved, in
addition TO the fact that they are
Ionger-Iived when used only on half
the house.
On the first floor landing she has a
shallow closet on which brooms,
svyeepers and handled mops are hung
Inv eye-screws diagonally screwed in
their handles. There, too. are hung
the justices busters, hand mop and
polishing cloths.
So. first thing in the morning as
arise the bedclothes are aired. SIN
Div remove blankets, sheets, etc, from
the bed and hang them over the chair
and my bedroom screen. which is then
placed near the window. Once week
| the blankets and mattress are taken
| outdoors for more thorough airing
| and once in while the vacuum
| cleaner Is run over the mattress.
