Attractive Suits for the Lun cheon

we did have a delightful motor ride
and on arrival at the hotel, found a very
smart crowd thero for lunch. The Nice
Man had telephoned in advance. so
charming little table, decorated with
freshly cut roses, was awaiting us, and
within a few minutes Of our arrival
lunch was served.
At a table next to us was merry
group of people, who turned out to be
old friends Of our host, so we all got
quite friendly. One young married
woman among them was particularly
stylish. She wore a costume Of sand
colored EloveslSin cloth. The sleeveless
bolero fastened at the left side, under a
large braid ornament of the Same soft
shade. She wore very pretty sand-col-
ored chiffon velvet waist Of which one
had glimpses, and the deep armholes Of
the bolero were outlined with fitch fur.
The long set-in sleeves OF velvet were
finished with a deep cuff outlined with
fitch, and the fur collar, cut high and
tightly fitting, was finishel with small
tea rose. The skirt was beautiful, cut in
the Empire style, with a deep yoke ex-
tending into a separate panel back and
front, lined with a pale mauve satin,

For the Hallroom Girl

Here are some good suggestions from
the woman who looks after her own
clothes, 1t often happens, you know. that
the working girl can't afford to send her
Sunday suit to tho tailor more than once
a season, and in the meantime 1t gets
crushed in her ballroom closet So IL you
happen to be a ballroom dweller, you can
become quite proficient by following the
rules given below.
Always have your suit on a hanger, and
It will pay you to get a bar for the closet,
as 1t just doubles the closet space If
your landlady will permit try to have
an electric iron in your room and a pad
ded sleeve board. II you use her gas iron
be careful not to get It too hot. A damp
cloth placed over a precious gown while
you are ironing It will be wise preca-
ton.
All dark materials, as a rule, will be
improved II you sponge them with weak
solution of ammonia before you iron
them. Our grandmothers used blued wa
ter and cold tea, and many good house,
wife uses them. too. These are both good

A Pretty Coverlet

Everybody goes in for health and
science nowadays, and nine women out
OF ten who used to look upon a nap as
confined to the younger generation takes
4 15-minute beauty sleep every after
noon. Poor dears, It's the only chance
some of them get to rest, with the nu-
merous dansants and whatnot which
keep women on the go. The idea in all
these observations is TO remind you of
the usefulness of the coverlet. It is not
q quilt, strictly speaking, 1t is just a
little coverlet to throw over milady when
she takes her "cat-nap." For 1t doesn't
matter how short the 40 winks may be-,
q cold Is easily caught II there happens
to be draft.
These coverlets are the last word in
luxurious appointments. They are su-
premeIy artistic as we'll. Made of quilted
silk. satin. crepe de chine. or brocade,
and bordered with lace and French roses,
there is nothing more attractive or more
expensive. The centre IS finished or with
a wreath OF satin roses, or monogram,
worked in dull gold.

Your Young Child

SO much Is said about proper training
for children that there only remain few
hints for the training of mothers, and
these have been collected by some indus
trious person into a series Of "don'ts." I"
Here are some OF the most interesting
ones.
Don't forget that children. like plants,
surfer seriously from want OF sunlight
Keep the nursery as light and as home
like as you can and have lots OF fresh air
for them.
Don't forget that children are more So
riously affected by impure air than
Erown-up people.
Don't forget that little children are
ana that this lowers their vitality.
Don't let the nursery be used as a laun-
dry nor larder. You should never keep
food there.
Don't think that any room In the house
viii do for a nursery, as ''its only for
the children" Give the sunniest, airiest
and most cheerful room in the house to
the children IL you want them to be
sturdy and strong.
Don't shake or scold child who wakes
up at night and cries. OFTEN night ter
rors are a purely nervous affection, and

sers worse.
Don't forget that you sometimes harm
your ehildrsn by doing too much for them.
There are great many things which It is
far better to teach children 10 do for
themselves.

A Pretty Breakfast Set

These are the days of the fox trot and
its attendant frivolities, and any one can
easily imagine how exhausted Milady
feels after strenuous evening, to say
nothing of a dansant in the afternoon, and
a long session at bridge before that The
most useful of arrangements has been
discovered in the shops for the tired
woman. or the Invalid. 1t is the break
fast set The whole thing is charming
and is composed of a mahogany tray and
a breakfast service of the daintiest china.
To keep Milady's coffee from becoming
cold, a "cosey" is added, and it is a most
sensible addition. too.
The coseys are made of soft, quilted
satin, and open on the sides wide enough
to cover the fattest Of coffee pots. An
other use for them is to put them over
the telephone when Milady is asleep. OF
course, they are closed all the way up the
sides, when they are used for this pur-
pose.

MENAND
The Modem Girl and the Bachelor
By
ELLEN ADAIR

Why do we fnd SO many eligible. at
tfactive young men still among the ranks
of The bachelors today? More than that,
Why do they appear 80 utterly contented
with their lot Of single blessedness7 To
whom should the blame be attached
''Men are SO seihshlr walled a pretty
little girl the other day. "All they care
about is to smoke and play cards and
have a good time with each other in
their horrid clubs. When they take girls
out they are seldom serious in their in

The opinion OF this forlorn daInsel has
been echoed hundred times. SO many
letters are written me by discontented
girls on the subject of mans selhshness
and his dislike Of marriage that I have
begun to investigate the question, Why
does the modern man hesitate to assume

clothes that 1 simply wouldn't dare pro-
pose to one of them. Although I'm maxi

ess. give her two new suits every season
and fur coat every fall-besides all those
wonderful things that girls wear nova
days. So just can't ask girl to marry
me and then have her disappointed after

Now, 1 happened to know about this
particular young mans feminine circle.
At first glance the girls thereof did ap-
pear to be decked out like unto Solomon
IN all his glory. But. had the young
man only known it, their clothes were
not one-tenth so costly as they appeared
o be. The expensive-looking fur coats
were only limitations the variety OF
smart suits were only old garments re-
modelled by clever fingers at home, and
