TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD

Did you know the women spend at

To prevent whitewash from rubbing

To kill grease spots before painting
wash the parts with saltpeter or very

Indoors and Out.

The genius of Paris, evidently has
been directed toward keeping US warm
and comfortable after deciding that it
was necessary to use up all the thin
materials on hand. which happened to
be chiffon and silk. There was fur
a-plenty. Also quantities of duvetyn,
the fabric of three years ago. also
velour and velvets.
What more could one want than to
be comfortable in those steam heated
American houses in a chiffon frock and
be comfortable in a heavy coat in those
freezing American streets? This ques-
tion. asked by Paris designers of the
American buyers, was sufficiently SEN
sible to make an appeal.
