Bread should never be covered with
q cloth when taken from the oven, but
laid on the side and allowed to be-
come perfectly cold, then kept in a
closely covered tin box without any
wrappings.
Many women and girls make the
great mistake Of sacrificing their
physical comfort to the call Of fash
ion. When the styles demand that
there be no hips, those who are rather
large in that direction try everything
short of suicide to force their hips in
to the narrow space, set by the styles.
Stays are often worn so tight that
the poor flesh beneath Is all creased
and ridged when they are removed.
1t is always very bad for the health
to wear the stays too tight. All kinds
Of maladies result from a constant
pressure around the abdomen, tom
ach, waist and diaphragm, the space
covered by the ordinary styles. In
digestion and other stomach troubles
are perhaps the commonest ills COM
ing from tight stays.
White corduroy Is among the most
attractive Of the materials offered for
the spring season, and IL n uses
care in washing it will prove to be a
practical material for skirts and
coats. Corduroy, or golfine, Is not ex-
pensive, excellent qualities being offer
ed for 81 a yard for twenty-seven inch
widths, and occasionally a special Of
fer being made at q lower price. To
wash corduroy, follow these direc-
tons faithfully If satisfactory results
are desired: Wash in soapy water,
made of warm water and white soap,
then boil for one-half hour in soap
water; rinse through three changes Of
clean water Of the same lukewarm
temperature, then in cold bluing wat
er. Do not wiring or squeeze, but
hang in the open air to drip and dry.
The conviction in many Of our
minds that the popular hat will be the
sailor must be considerably strength
ened by the success. whether practical
or complete, of the new skirt. A
spread at the base will want either an
u~nmistakable brim or absolutely no
brim at all, one or the other, the hair
giving in the latter case the full sur
round to the face that Is necessary to
balance the base line. Naturally with
the gradual approach Of summer the
little hat will become unsuitable, for
although a sunshade may always make
up for lack of brim, 1t has been ac-
knowledged that we are not in these
practical busy days given very much
to invariably carrying about the
elaborate %sunshades that belong to the
spectacular or professional view Of
life.
The best known fashion experts say
that:
The fashionable flare skirt has had
its influence on the veil. The flare veil
is worn with a small hat having the
tiniest of brims.
Taffeta bodices are worm with white
organdy skirts.
The latest wrist bags are small and
made Of faille silk.
Black and white stripes compose
many blouses.
Some navy gabardine suits have tan
buttonholes.
Some girdles Of changeable silk in
various hues are being worn with lin
gerie and cotton frocks. They are
rather long and tasseled at the ends.
Usually they are doubled, being made
of wide silk rather than ribbon.
Silk sweaters and silk fabric coats
are a feature of the f~ashionably gown
ed woman's wardrobe at the style en-
tiers, and coats Of crepe de chine and
shantung are worn with lingerie
dresses
