DIARY OF WELL DRESSED GIRL

steady rains that falls with the assur-
rance that 1t is never going to stop.
1T will have to be bridge this after
noon," said Marie, and took us up In
her cosy boudoir, where she lighted a
fire.
Lets be comfortable" said Alice.
I'm going to put on a negligee," and
with that she pulled the daintiest
mousse robe creation from her suit
case. The foundation was a change
able taffeta-blue and violet-and bill
lowy drapings of lavender chiffon
were used over this. The sleeves were
mere tabs of lace over the shoulders.
for you know many of the new matt
nees are showing no sleeves at all.
Little garlands of silver tissue roses
! held the chiffon draperies and the
| loosely folded, high WASTED girdle was
made of silver cloth.
| We all exclaimed over the beauty of
| the charming robe. Mays negligee
is even prettier than mine" said Alice,
so we forgot that diamonds were
trumps while We examined the new
| finery.
Mays boudoir gown was made of
light blue crepe de chine. The robe
mad a little coat effect which was
edged in pleated blue net. A band
| of fluffy white swansdown extended
down the centre of each pleated
futing. The sleeves were draped
from the net, and small frogs made
of light blue silk braid fastened the
garment down the front
If you own one of those embroid-
cred crepe silk shawls with long silk
fringe this is certainly the time to
use 1t, for they make charming neg
ligees. One embroidered corner of
the shawl may be dropped from the
shoulders like pointed cape, and
| two others may be used near the
hem at each side of the front open
ing.
Marie had shopped with me the
day l bought my negligee, so she
found 1t in my suit case and held II
up for the admiration of the other
girls. The robe is made of pink mes
saline. 1t is cut in such a way that
one side crosses the front, envelops
the back, and extends round to the
front again, ending In a point and
rosette of pink chiffon. Lace founc-
ing, about eight inches wide, trims
all the edges of the drapery and
sleeves.
Corn charmeuse which was yelled
by orange net embroidered In huge
white flowers, was the material OF
one of the prettiest matinees I saw
In the shops.
Our bridge game turned into a
discussion of clothes, as 1t usually
does when our group of girls are
together.

At this point Henry began to

Upon which Dorothy and Davie
forgot their quarrel and held their

A House and Its "Newness"

The principal trouble about many
suburban places is that most of the
homes wear an air of such uncom-
promising newness-and new
house, however well planned, can
never possess the atmosphere Of
home which time lends to any
abode.
Often it is possible to tone down
this excessive newness by the sur
roundings, and one scheme which has
been observed as Immediately Civ
ing a moss-grown aspect to new
house was where the landscape gar
dener had arranged the walk which
led to the door in square flagstones
laid an inch and a half apart, says
Suburban Life. In front of the
doorsteps were six triangular pieces
of the flag, four at the ends and two
at the sides, also set apart, so that
the grass would grow up between
them.
Not only is this method conven-
lent one, since the lawn-mower can
be run across the openings and cut
the grass, avoiding the common diff
ficulty of keeping a stone walk free
from weeds, but the moment the
grass begins to grow, it gives the
illusion that the house has been
lived in for years.

A Timely Word or Two
About Aluminium

One woman, who did not under
stand the care of aluminium, had the
misfortune to burn hole into fry
ing nan. Investigation brought out
the fact that, under the impression
that aluminium could not burn, she
had left the pan on the flame abso-
lutely dry, and, even though the
melting point of aluminium is 1918
degrees F., her intense gas flame had
done the trick, and her pan had
hole in it.
1t is essential that the housewife
investing in aluminium utensils
should become thoroughly familiar
with their care. and not expect inn
possibilities With ordinary care and
little common sense, this ware will
prove most satisfactory.
Where space is limited, it is ad-
vlsable to buy the kettles for cook
ing purposes, as the various sizes
can be placed into each other and
hung upon one hook. The covers can
be kept on one of those handy lid
racks that may be had for twenty
five cents. These kettles can be pur-
chased at prices ranging from sixty
five cents to $1.45, according to size.
The progressive housekeeper is al
ways alert for new articles of aluml-
mum ware. There IS the dOugnnuI-
cutter, with the detachable centre,
that readily converts the handy ar
ticle into a biscuit cutter. 1t sells
at twenty-five cents. At the same
price, there are butter-stampers with
initials. A cover for the milk bottle,
to take the place of the pasteboard
cover, has a little arrow inside, to
pick out the bit of pasteboard THAT
is frequently so difficult to remove.
These handy covers cost twenty
cents. A device that is a combina-
ton of the various-sized spoons.
making it possible to measure all
sizes of spoonfuls as well as drops.
