Odd Pendants.
There is still a great liking for the
pendant. The favored style shows enc
single semi-precious gem in some won
derfuI. setting. A topaz, quite the Eize
of an English walnut. and slightly oval,
with the lower porson showing a
pointed tendency. is set in heavy rim
of green gold with punches Of grapes
formed of little pearls.
A rarely beautiful pendant in red gold
and Etruscan work Is in the form OF a
larger bunch of grapes made Of Vari-
colored pearls, pink. white, yellow and
black.
Circle brooches are we'll liked. One
of faceted onyx and pearls is adapted
for mourning wear. OF course the circle
is open. and the brooch gains more
delicacy than one might suppose.
The ribbon bracelet is used to hold
the watch when the costume makes the
leather strap seem heavy. and the gold
bracelet is deemed too elaborate. Any
color of ribbon is permissible to match
the costume. There are little clasps IN
gold which allow the ribbon to be ad-
justed to the size of the wrist.
The best liked watch for use on The
models
with a gold face and a simple gold rim
Earrings are still worn, and the long
slender pendants divide favor with the
ones which fit closely to the lobe of the
ear. In the latter style, white or black
round pearls or baroque pearls are most
desirable. In the pendants there are
some attyactive combinations of colored
gems swinging on pearl chains. The
plain gold hoops. the gypsy earring and
Jet hoops are becoming TO only a GER
tain piquant type of woman.

Clever Use Of Striped Crepe
Black and White Make Fancy
Goods Into a Chic Summer
Creation.

TXIHEN materials are not per-
wv fectly plain, when either
a stripe or a dot is used
in their makeup, the choice Of a
style ndrrows itself down to the
very simple patterns.
Even then it is pey difficult to
not appear operdressed, and it is
often necessary to add solid colors
in order to take away the extreme
~ ~decornef' effect
In the cotton crepe dress shown
in the accompanying Illustration
there are both embroidered dots and
stripes, yet the tactful and tasteful
addition of pure white crepe in the
tunic preserves the balance of de-
sign.
Although from the picture the
costume gives every evidence of
being q coat suit in reality It is q
one-piece dress.
The coat effect is simulated BY
the blouse NTH a flowing back. 1t
is little more than kimono, cut
long in the back and short in the
front in a pertical line of the
stripes, and bound BY a border
vide enough to show two of the
stripes running horizontally.
Three small black sdtin-copered
buttons hold it together over
handkerchief linen vest at the
front. Plain black satin forms the
girdle, the border at the elbop
sleeve, a small bow at the back OF
the hanging blouse, and the but
tons are again seen on the skin
near the hem. The operskir is OF
pure white pledted crepe, bordered
With a horizontal strip OF the ma
teriat hemstitched on.
In the piece this material ~ouid
doubtless be overlooked by the
woman of quiet taste, the dots and
the stripes together barring it for
ever from her wardrobe. But com
bined NTH plain black satin dnd
pure white it resolves itself into q
highly acceptable costume.

Hints For

ANY housekeeper no has
N III priceless rugs and bTic,> vac
V has sadly impoverished
kitchen when the tools Of
housework are considered. There is no
excuse for this condition, for the shops
are full TO overfiowing with work-light-
eners
Brushes, for example, are needed al
most everv hour of the day, and yet too
many households have only one poor old
ragged whisk broom and dilapidated
old handled brush for the stairs. And
there seems to be a panic started in
the minds of many housekeeperS when
they have to buy, a new broom.
There saoIld always be at least two
good brooms in every house. one. the
lighter is TO be used for the kitchen
and similar rooms, and the other kept
for the heavy work and the rugs CT the
various upstairs rooms.
Then there is need for a soft brush
with a long handle to remove the dust
from the polished floors: This should
have long. pliable bristles, and such
brushes may be obtained IN various
grades and sizes. 1t pays to buy a Sood
one, for with care 1t will last long
time.
For the corners and stairs one brush
may be made to do. 1t should be OF
shorter and sitter bristles, so as to take

children use will be found most useful
In every house. There are several styles
OF brushes that come expressly for
brushing the dust out of upholstered
furniture. Another brush, a medium
whisk may be used, should be kept for
the draperies.
Besides the brush for the polished
floors. there Is need for a mop. There
are some excellent ones offered at rea-
sonable prices. They are of Tarying
sizes and shapes. and are intended to
polish as well as wipe up the dust.
They all have padded sides so the wood
work or paper is not marred. And.
speaking of paper. most expert house
wives declare a preference for a soft
long-handled brush to use on the side
walls. instead of wiping them with a
, cloth. If one does not wish to buy a
brush expressly for the purpose, a gen.
erous square of canton flannel, or
cheesecloth, must be kept perfectly
clean, fastened over the broom and
drawn lightly down the side walls.
For the housekeeper who does not feel
like stocking her house with expensive
mops and brushes, an excellent ory
floor mop may be made by stitching
stockings together to sufficient thick
ness and fastening them to a padded
piece of wood nailed to the end of a
broomstick. This solves the problem
of what to do with worn hosiery.
j An old whisk broom is useful to clean
| out the oven and to brush out the cor
ners of gas range.
