NOW that high collars are in fashion ~ again the shops are selling collar forms You remember the forms that we used to buy? They were made of crino1ine or buckram or net mounted with stiffeners, and they simp1if1ed the making of a stiff standing collar most decidedly, and they were as uncomfort- able as fashion demanded. The new forms are like them in most respects, is because the new collar is not un- comfortable. for it is low in front, al- though it iss very high in back-that is to say, the collar that needs stiffen-

Hints About the
 Purchasing of Shoes
WHILE individual cornfort. must be

WHILE individual comfort must be
 the determining factor in pur- chasing shoes. yet there are a few gen. .eraI rules of some aid in obtaining that comfort
 The natural lines of the foot are graceful and beautiful, and this nat ural shape should not be lost sight of in selecting shoes. The large toe is usually longer than the others, and in stead of running straigh. ahead, as in the so called anatomical" shoes, slopes slightly. The shoes should therefore be somewhat pointed, slanting from both sides toward the center, with the inner slant very slight.
 Time spent in the shop obtaining a perfect fit in shoes is time well spent, for discomfort always means lowered efficiency and a degree of nervous strain Laced shoes can be more read fly adjusted and so are often preferred | to the buttoned style. If the buttons are properly placed when the shoe Is been worn a few days, buttoned shoes may be very satisfactory for the nor- nal individual.
 The close fitting, extremely pointed toed shoes with the absurd French heels can not be too strongly con- demned. Very high heels are especial i ly harmful to the young, as they throw the AOdy out of correct position and { hinder it's proper development. The matter of wearing low shoes in cold weather should be noted too. It is inn portant that the feet be kept warm and dry, as chilled feet are frequently responsible for numerous ills. 1 Experience with a large variety ot materials has shown leather to be the best for all round~use. It is tough flexible porous. reasonably waterproof and permits moderate degree of ven- tilation.

SKIRT styles have changed more A this season than coat styles. The latter remain short and practically the same in many details as their predeces- sors of 8. year ago. but the former are absolutely hopeless because the ma- terial can be matched only with the greatest difficulty, when at all, and therefore the idea of putting in an ex- tra breadth to give the desired width of the present season is a thing that is apt to have disappointing result
 A far better way to bring last years suit up to this years fashion standard is to invest in ready made skirt, either a shepherd check or a dull tar tan plaid These are offered in closely set box plaits, the latter not more than three-uuarters of an inch and firmly pressed from top to bottom. The hem is stitched in, so that alteration can not be made from that point. but one of the shops making speciality of these ready to wear skirts volunteers to shorten the garment should that be

WHEN WALKING IN THE RAIN

WHEN taking a tramp through the
 rain wear warm clothing and your raincoat. Your skirt should be suf-' dcientIy short to keep from dragging @n wefness about your ankles, for nothing will give you a cold more quickly.
 The ideal walking costume consists of a short, warm skirt, a flannel blouse and short jacket or raincoat.
 Wear a hat which the dampness can not in51re-one of soft felt is a wise choice. It should be trimmed with a simple band of soft silk or a quill This obyiates the necessity of carrying an umbrella.
 The feet should be well protected by high waterproof boots Those which extend half way to the knees, have thick eoles and lace tightly about the ankles are the most practical
 Instead Of wearing petticoats wear a pair of silk bloomers with this costume.
 IT you are clad in this way it will be impossible for the dampness to pene- trate to the skin. You may be ex- posed to a drenchfng shower. and, though your coat be wet, the flannel blouse will protect your shoulders.
 When walking in the rain keep con- stantly moving and regulate the length of time you remain out to the vigor o1 your constitution. One unaccustomed
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-05-19

to walking will become tired in fifteen minutes, while another may safely walk three-quarters of an hour or even whole hour and thoroughly en- joy it.
 When you are overtired you are in danger of contracting cold, while a constant motion of the muscles will prevent you from feeling the slightest bit chilled.
 Allow the rain to beat upon your face. It is the most refreshing sensa- ton imaginable. Each rain drop beat ing upon the skin stimulates the action of the particular portion on which it falls.
 There is nothing better for the com plexion than rainwater, and if you are desirous of improving the texture of your skin you should never use any thing else when bathing your face. Catch quantity of fresh water every time 1t rains and notice how quickly it will reward you for the small amount of trouble.
 When you return to the house after enjoying a walk in the shower imrne- diately remove your damp clothing; then take a bath in warm water, fol- | lowed by an alcohol rub. Rest for a few moments if you feel the slightest 1 bit fatigued and you are ready for the busiest day life may demand of you.

Bureau Boxes In Which
 To Keep Silk Stockings

THE careful woman does not tumble
 her silk stockings helter skelter into a bureau drawer, but keeps each pair separate from the others in a long. narrow box divided off into cornpart- ments. This makes it easier also to select just the right pair of stockings when one is in a hurry, for the day of black silk stockings, with an occasion al resort to white silk, Is past. The modern woman has bronze stockings for bronze slippers, natural silk stock ings for wear with fawn topped but toned boots and pastel tinted hosiery to match dancing slippers of satin.
 It is easy to make a stockings box to fit bureau or chinonier drawer. Cut up a. long pasteboard box such as coats and suits are delivered in to make the stockings box. The partitions which divide the long, narrow box into com partments should be placed at inter- vals of about five or six inches apart according to the length of the box Cover all the pieces of pasteboard with cretonne or cover the sides of the box on the outside with cretonne and on the inside with pussy willow silk to match. In this case the partitions also will be covered with silk.

WINDOW washing is one of the tasks
 dreaded by many women, es- pecially the outside of the windows. which are hard to reach. Notice the men who make a profession of window washing, who wash the windows of large stores, and see that they have developed several excellent washers, chief of them being the type which utilizes the so called rubber 'tsqueegee" for drying the panes of glass. This idea is seldom followed in the home. where it is the general practice to use some paste preparation The squeegee method has a good deal to recommend it for the outside of the window especially, and there is now on the market an adaptation of this idea for the home.
 This consists of 8 galvanized con- tainer of triangular box shape which will hold over a quart of water. At one edge of this box is fitted a pad Of absorbent felt. At another edge is 8 rubber squeegee. The whole is equip ped with a short metal handle, into which long wooden handle Is to be fitted. When in use the container is

When tho window has been so washed the other edge Of the device is turned toward the glass and the rubber sdueegee used. which practically dries the panes of glass. This is the first device of the kind which adapts the professional washer to the home, and for rapidtty and ease this method cannot be oxceled-
 Another kind of washer with points of advantage is a tong-ltlke device At- ted with punches of chanois at each end. These are dampened and the tong fitted over the window casing so that one chamois operates on the outsloes the other on the inside pane This Is particularly good in the upper stories, where 1t is dangerous to sit outside or impossible to reach the windows by any handled device, In cold weather either alcohol or kerosene will prevent water freezing as 1t used on the win doWs.
