SCREEN CONCEhLS A COUCH
Admiras,Ie Scheme Evolved From the RraIn of a Woman Who Has
 Practical Ideas.

A hospitable little woman who loves dearly to entertain, but whose domi- cile is too small to accommodate many guests, has contrived a very sensible way to put up the occasional man who can bunk anywhere"-the anywhere usually being the living-room couch. Out of an ordinary wooden clothes horse, the largest size obtainable, this hostess has evolved slightly and prac- tical screen which turns that corner of the living rooom in which the couch is located into very comfortable and perfectly private bedroom. Opened out, the clothes horse, which has three sections, completely hides the impro- vised bed from view, and the screen, moreover, is almost six feet high, so that the ordinary individual, dressing behind it, is quite hidden.
 The three panels of the clothes horse screen have been covered with shirred cretonne, the material overlapping at the points of the screen, so that there shall be no crannies to afford un- sought and unwelcome glimpses into the screened-off space. The cretonne matches the curtains and cushions of the living room, and when the screen is set up at bedtime the rest of the room still presents cozy and tidy ap' pearance.
 On the inner side of the screen are several hooks and many large and small shirred pockets, made of the ere tonne. On the hooks garments may be hung and into the pockets will be slipped toilet articles, shoes and small belongings. An oval mirror hangs from a stout hook in the center of the panel of the screen.

There is at the present time no dis tinct or predominating mode Of hair dressing which if not followed viii make one appear out of date. On th9 contrary, the styles are varied enough to allow milady to select one which is best suited to her particular type.
 For the youthful face the Bobby ef- feet is the most successful and at tractiye, giving the appearance of hay ing the hair bobbad while it is merely pinned under. This is accomplished by the arrangement of hair around the ears, regardless of the finish at the back or forehead, and may be combined with either pompadour, side part or center part.
 The soft, slightly waved pompadour is always worn by both young and older women. Middle-agad women are inclined to like pompadour and high cpitfure, while the younger woman usu- ally favOrs the more girlish arrange ment of the back hair dressed low.
 The back hair is dressed in coils two or three in number, according tc size, with careful attention to the con tour when finished. Short pufIs and curis are sometimes added.

TAKE THE PLACE OF "SHAMS"
"overpilIowslips" a Great Improve ment Over the OId-Fashoned and
 Unsatisfactory Articles.

The old.fashioned "sham" is fast dis appearing, and in it's place we have the envelope sham, or the 'overpillow- slip" Shams were always unsatisfac- tory things to keep in place, all sorts of laborious devices being needed to keep them up. Besides, they were exactly what their name implied, "sham," imitation, and any imitation is always bad Remembering, of course, that the exception only serves to prove the rule).
 The new shams, if you insist upon calling them so, are really pilloWsllps made a size or two too large, so that they will fit easily and quickly over the ordinary, everyday slips. These large slips are sometimes quite elab crate, although they may be left quite plain. The object is to preserve 1ol the pillows an immaculate appearance during the day. The large slips are put on the pillows when the bed ls made, and are removed at night, the ordinary undercases still remaining upon the pillows to receive tht wrinkles and the actual wear. Have a care, too, that the new "shams' dt not conceal unfresh utility cases, O. the sham will have become desplc able thing.

For 8 small pet dog that lives in- Goors an ordinary kennel is scarcely necessary, but at the same time he re- Quires some kind of home of his own, ill which he may sleep at night.

 The lid of the box may be dispensed with, as it will not be required, and the interior of the box is lined with

 For evening wear brilliant hair ornaments are worn, and they are very important factors in the coiffure fer dress occasions. Even high fore heads are left uncovered in the ma iority of cultures for evening, but the headbands of velvet or spangles or rhinestones relieve the severity of the hair dress.
