FEMININE FANCIES
IRONING DAY TIPS.

A professional ironer insists that
i ironing is really fascinating work if
| one knows how to set about it. This
| means with irons in good condition
and all necessary articles at hand. For
ordinary household use irons in sizes
from 4 to are the most useful, and
one should also have couple of pol
ishers and a baby iron-say 2-for
getting up into small places and
gathers.
Have a nice ironing blanket and
sheet; skirt and sleeve boards cost
piece Of white wax inside folded rag,
on which to give the iron an occa-
sional rub. This makes it go" well.
Lace and embroidery must be pressed
on the wrong side over a thick pad OF
feit; articles such as calico. linens,
prints, chintzes, etc, are ironed on the
right side to give them a finish. The
professional ironer irons silks and
starched things wet, and she also
thoroughly dries everything under the
iron, while the amateur makes the mis-
take of "damping down" her silks and
starched things. and often hangs her
work up to lair" before it is dry
and not allowed to cool on the stove.
They should never be put right on to
the fire to heat, as this spoils the
smooth surface. When heated over gas
sheet of block tin or iron should be
placed over the flame, as moisture
which forms rust settles on the irons
If they come into direct contact with
the gas.
To clean irons rub them on brown
paper over which powdered bath brick
has been sprinkled. and if they become
rusty, rubbing them with emery pow
der and little paraffin will put them
right

be developed in c1ub-checked or blue
serge, covert cloth, pongee. or even
linen crash The collar can be left
open as well as closed by unbuttoning
the right overlapping front of the coat
and turning it back in triangular
lapel.
The front of the coat shows q broad
belt introduced from the sides through
oblique eyelets. y double breasted ef-
fsct is maintained both in the blouse
and skirt portions, which brings the
line of closing well over the left side.
The hared. outstanding collar is held
erect by a band that encircles the base
of the neck, then turns downward. fol-
lowing the line of closing of the blouse.
1t fastens with row of fiat nickel
buttons.
The skirt of the coat is gathered be-
meath the belt, but at the sides and
in back the lengths from shoulder to
hem are in one piece fiaring below the
waist.
Note the clever pockets which so con-
sistently repeat the buttoned band ar
rangement of the collar.
There is a new summer fabric that
would be splendid for this model
should it be used as a dust coat, and
that is khaki-kool. new khaki-col-
ored raw silk weave particularly rec
commended for coats and suits.

FADS OF THE SEASON.

Skirts are cut circular or gored. as a
shirred and gathered at the top in the
more filmy net or chiffon models. They
are often stiffened at the edges by
piped cording, which holds them in
pretty godet folds.
While there are a few pulled sleeve
evening models, sleeves as a rule are
scant rufiles of lace falling over the
arms. not quite to the elbow. or little
the top of the arm.
Lace is of the cobwebby sort and sell
dom white. Cream, ecru, cream en-
cred with gold or silver are noted
about the decollete and skirt.
Fringed ruchings, made of the ma
terial, are seen d great deal on the new
models, outlining eQuare and triangu-
lar decollete, sleeve edges and skirt

In order to avoid argument (such as

costume without sacrificing white
skirts and waists
Come in Stripes.
AS the season approaches for a re-
vival of these garments the shops are
onering them in stripes, especially
black and white. to be worn with white
corduroy skirts and wash blouses.
Some very good looking ones are used
for all kinds of informal occasions and
women have taken to wearing them in
the house over the shirt waist.
From the present outlook there is
more chance of the striped ones being
In fashion than the plain ones in bril-
liant colors. although the. shops are
showing both. One of the smart wom-
en- in the south wears broadly
striped silk one above a white corduroy
satin band about it and white tennis
shoes above black and white striped
stockings.
The fashion for black and white
seems to have taken possession of the
world of sport as well as of society
The new short checked coats are in
keeping with this idea. One model
which is sketched here today is excel
lent and gives a good suggestion of
what will be worn.
Shorter Coats.
1t is much shorter than the usual top
coat and is evidently a rival to the
loose sweater. 1t is used for tennis
and was worn at one of the smart
southern resorts. The checks are
broadly marked out and could not be
called inconspicuous by any stretch of
imagination. The revers and sleeves
are conventional. but the pocket and
belt are not. The former is a new
shape that has made It's appearance
here and there on spring garments and
is more suited to sport garments than
any other.
The belt has the continuous sequence
of cartridge spaces that have been
added to women's clothes since the
war began to influence costumery
Undoubtedly, this kind of topcoat
will be taken up for the milder
weather instead of the long one that
has ruled all winter.
