The Popularity of Flowers

Not long ago we were following
feathers of all descriptions; now we
are reyeljng in flowers as decoration.
Perhaps the feather crop has repelled
against the inroads made by fashion' ;
and then, again, II may be that the
cry for change must be answered, and
flowers are the most beautiful reply
that can be made.
At any rate, the advent of blossoms
in hats and dresses is notable ract
and should be needed by women who
keen step with the times, says an ex-
change writer.
Flowers are used on evening dresses
at nearly every part of the design. On
one beautiful model of white lace and
blue tulle there is a strand OF I'M
mense morning glories attached at the
right shoulder and hanging down the
side of the gown.
Another satin dress made in the
new fIounce effect has small roses
that hold down the ends OF the satin
streamers that finish the ends Oh the
shoulder straps
These roses are applied in slant
ing line across the bias edge OF eacn
streamer and loop of roses on mar
the ribbons of both sides.
The corsage bouquet of bright color
is frequently the one note of contrast
on the handsome black evening gown
that has swept the world by storm;
II is sometimes a large flower and
sometimes a bunch of many-coloreo
blossoms. YOU will see a bouquet OF
flowers placed at the top of a blouse
or coat, thereby giving a spot tnat
artists would call the high light.
Flowers on millinery are pleasing
relief from the military ornaments and
feathers that have trimmed our pes.
hats. Garlands of dahlias, roses ana
camellias encircle hats;l single bios
sons of extreme size are seen on
toques.
Flowers are combined with plumes
in MANY ways. Around the large nat
hat there will be a fringe of ostrich
fronds. and at one side there Will De
placed a bright rose or daisy. An
other unique use of these two favor
ties is a round disk of feathers, re-
sem 'ne a wheel, in the centre or
which is a large rose.
On children's, hats there is a use OF
flowers, for they seem particularly ap-
propriate to little faces. Headings OF
small flowers around soft brims are
easily made. Single roses o1 tdietn,
made In the wrapped style and placed
at the side of velvet hats, make sim
ple and effective trimming Flowers
that are flattened out and embroid-
cred down under buttonhole stitching
or chain stitching are effective at the
front and sides of hats of all shapes.
The scarf and muff set is frightened
by the addition of flowers that can be
bought ait the millinery department or
made of silk, metallic tissue or velvet
at home. Do not forget the inport-
ance of metallic tissues, gold, silver
and bronze. The glitter of dress has
been reached by the decoration Of
flowers.

I've a mind to pick row about it.

Rounding the Arms

Dear Margery Doom.
l am tall and not thin except for
my arms. which are bony and ugly
to look at. A friend of mine told me
that you published directions for
rounding the arms. | did not see
the paper. and If it is not too much
trouble will you publish the direc-
tions again? / will be very CRATE
full. as 1 hate to Wear short sleeves
now on account of my arms.
JENNIE L.
Sweeping is one of the best meth
DDS of rcanding the arms, as well
as giving correct poise. the con-
stant firm grasp of an object such
as q broom handle or hard duster
handle will round the arms. An
exercise given at gymnasiums fol
symmetrical development of the
arms consists merely in opening
and shutting the fingers around a
pole, gripping it each time. This
would be very easy for you to DO
at home.
Another method is to soak the
arms in sweet almond oil or olive
oil and wrap 1t about the arms,
firmly. but not tight enough to i'm
pede circulation. It is important
to put thin oiled silk over these
wrappings to prevent grease from
rubbing off. If you do not care to
take all this trouble, try rubbing
the arms frequently with it, letting
as much as possible dry IN. Before
applying the oil bathe the arms
with hot water, to open the pores,
so the surface will be in condition
to absorb the oil Apply the oil
with a gentle, circular movement
Massage well for five minutes, then
wipe the skin dry with a soft cloth.
then pat the entire surface with
cold water.
When exercises are taken it is
better that they should be gone
through with before oiling.

A Suit Bargain That Gave Satisfaction.
Musical at o. m. Rode to the
golf club for dinner at p. M with
Alice and May, Jack Harcourt Tom
and Mr. Dillingsbex, of Chicago, MIR.
ID. was very attractive, and was
glad that my new green broadcloth
suit had been altered in time to wear
it, When the others were discussing
the recent football scores at the Dig
colleges. May leaned over and wins
pered:
Your suit is stunning, and that
shade of green brings out all the
pink In your cheeks Green has a
way of doing that. 1t seems to be
as good as q face bleach for freshen-
ing ones complexion. The black
skunk collar on my coat forms sort
of fluffy frame for my face, and 1
guess that has something to do with
1t, too.
"I am pleased with my bargain" 1
answered. "At the musical ! saw
number of ripping skirts, but the
hem of mine and the edge OF my
Spencer coat seemed to be quite the
fullest of ALL"
TITS good economy to buy the most
advanced model one can find,' Whis-
pered May. Then, when every one
else has caught on to the new lines,
and they are becoming common, you
can set yours aside with lot OF wear
to it's credit"
We turned into the club grounds
just then. There was long line of
machines in front of the clubhouse.
"Ths is chicken dinner night" ex-
planned Tom. "The place will be de-
serted tomorrow night except for
golfers"
Tom says that's why the club Is
popular" responded May. "The men
can eat dinner in their golf sweaters
or their best clothes and no one says
word
"There is coat something like
mine" / said, nudging Alice, as
party of four got UP from dinner
"See how the fuIlness is made ut
| the bottom of her fiaring coat" I
went on There are six deep V cuts
at the hem, and they are filed by
inserts of velvet to match the collar
and cuffs"
| "Good way to make over an old
suit" remarked Alice. See the suit
on the other woman. That's very
smart, don't you think?' The cos

that I do not"

Household Hints

TO clean a violin wash 1t very care
fully with soap and water, seeing to
1t that not a drop runs inside, or dip
piece of soft silk In paraffin oil and
rub the violin with 1t. The interior
of the violin should be cleaned with
dry rice.
To keep brooms in proper shape
souse them about in the suds after
boiling the clothes on wash day, bend
ing them into shape as You do this;
then rinse, shake well and stand to
dry upside down.
One of the best acids for cleaning
the finger nails is lemon juice. A des-
sert spoonful of lemon juice In a cup
full of warm soft water will loosen the
cuticle of the nails and remove stains
and discolorations.
Blankets should be washed through
three waters, warm, not hot The first
should have strong, very strong. soap
suds; the second less soap and the
third lust enough soap to make the
water appear milky. They should then
be wrung slightly, thrown over the
line and then pulled straight. If they
should not be dry when evening
comes fOlO J0em ana put tnem III 8
wash basket and hang again in the
sun the following day, and the day
thereafter, If necessary, until they are
perfectly dry.
One of the best ways to clean var
nished furniture (when there are nc
scratches deeper than the varnisll
on it) Is to wash 1t with warm suds
or clean 1t with gasoline or turpen-
tine. Polish with turpentine and
crude oil, equal parts. or equal parts
of alcohol. olive oil and vinegar.
To remove fresh ink stains from

! on the finger with 1t; or put few
drops of oxalic acid in the watel
used in washing off the stain.
To remove the odor of onions from
the hands rub them with a raw pc

Another way to remove pitch an,
paint stains is to scrape OFF as mucl
| as possible, then soften the spot

Cleaning Brushes

Dear Margery Doom:
VIII you please tell me the best
way to clean pair of military hair
brushes? They are. good ones, with
ebony backs, and do not want to
hurt them in any way. Thanking
you, am, HOUSEKEEPER.
Dip the brushes first into hot
water, in which are a few drops of
ammonia, taking care that only the
bristles are wet. This is easily done
If shallow dish is used. Shake a
few times, dipping and shaking IN
til they look clean. Pour away the
hot water and go through the same
performance with very cold water.
Shake a little and dry in the sun.
