the top and spreading out Medici fash

der the wearer's chin connects the col

almost inevitable that brims will widen
in sympat thy with hens, but when most
forms of headgear have at the moment
no brims at all the logical development
will probably be delayed.
Several skirts for dancing have old
fashioned lace fiounces, two or three of
them, festooned under roses, and indi-
vidualists are elongating their lace
sleeves until they form mitts with
thumbs to cover the top of the hands.
Pockets are going to be possible-in-
deed, they are accomplished facts in
some of the new skirts; while others
show braided side ornamentations
which advertise the fact that quite ca

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's recipe to
bring back color, thickness
and luster-Everybody is
using it again.

Gray hair. however handsome,
denotes advancing age. We ali
know the advantages of youthful
appearance. Your hair is your
charm. 1t makes or mars the face.
When it fades, turns gray and
looks dry. wispy and scraggly, just
few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundred-fold.
Don't stay grayi Look young!
Either prepare the tonic at home
or get from any drug store a So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" Thousands
Of folks recommend this ready-to-
use preparation, because it darkens
the hair beautifully and removes
dandruff, stops scalp itching and
falling hair: besides, no one can
j possibly tell, as it darkens sc
naturally and evenly. You moisten
a sponge or soft brush with it,
drawing this through the hair, tax
ing one small strand at time. BY
Ino.ning the gray hair disappears
after another application or two,
its natural color is restored and it
becsmes thick. glossy and lustrous,
and you appear years younger.

| If you were a man. and didn't know
that Dame Fashion had decreed that

Household Hints.

If the candle is too big for its holder,
plunge the end of it into hot water and
it will accommodate itself to the socket
speedily. If the candle is too small for
the candlestick, apply a match to the
end, and, while the grease or wax is
dripping. place it in the socket. The
melted grease or wax will harden and
hold it firmly in place.
Every housekeeper needs box of
assorted corks, such as are supplied by
housefurnishing departments. It's a
very orderly house that can supply a
cork of required size without more or
less prolonged search and preparation,
unless there is such box at hand.
Another useful addition to the kitchen
is the glass cover that is supplied with
grooves which fit it to any size dish.
This puts the makeshift sauce plate
and saucer, with their inconvenient
edges. back into their legitimate place.

DECORATIVE SCHEMES
USED FOR FASHIONS

BY your sofa cushions your taste may
be known. This might be wise say
ing of the interior decorator. because
there is no detail Of the furnishings of
a room that tells so quickly about the
taste Of the decorator as the cushions
that grace the lounge, that rest on the
arms of the chairs or lie on the floor
for nowadays one uses cushions for
foot rests quite as readily as for the
lounge.
If you are thoroughly up to date. if
the newest tendency in decorations is
yours from the start, then you will
have your cushions striped-and best
of all striped in black and white, or
black and tan bands about two inches
wide. This striped material can be
brought in linen with a mercerized
stripe which washes we'll.
For the woman whose taste clings to
the cubist influence Of a year or so
ago there are wonderful hand blocked
French linens in delightful shades of
blue, red and yellow-elementary col
ors in luscious hues-ln designs of
fruit and Of fiowers-crude yet highly
effective.
For the woman whose taste is sub
dued and extremely refined. the woman
many do sincerely, there is nothing in
the way Of pillow covers more attrac-
tive than raw silk or pongee silk In
shades of golden brown or green. One
collection of cushions covered to carry
out this color scheme ranged in shade
from dark, dull green to a golden
brown. and from an ashen green to a
soft yellow green. suggestive of the
blades Of new grass.
Then there is the woman whose friv-
olous fancy dotes on the new French
rocco interiors-the woman who has
pictures Of Marie Antoinette or Nine
de Pompadour over her bed, and who
| likes nothing better than to sup her
chocolate in bed at IL o'clock in the
morning from the dafntiest of Sevres
china. OF course. she covers her cush-
ions in the ornate fashion of the Louis
XIV or XVI period.
You may talk to her all you will
about the beauty of simple lines, the
germ-collectfng tendency of cushions
that are decked out with wreaths OF
avail. And there Is indeed something
delightful in the exaggeratedly ornate
cushions of the Marie Antoinette Pc
riod. providing, of course, that they are
kept in suitable surroundings But woe
to the woman who indulges her taste
for the French rococo period to the ex-
tent Of placing a pillow covered with
gold galloon, light blue and rose-col-
ored brocade silk and festoons of rib
bon roses on a mission chair or in ar

| Then there is the woman whose keer
perception of the beautiful leads hel
to foye all things oriental. She it il
who VIII select the coverings of hei
lounge pillows from among the faded
samples of Japanese and Chinese silks
| in some out-of-the-way oriental bazaar
And usually this woman does not pile
her cushions on top Of one another, but
makes every one count for something
in the scheme of decoration.

CARING FOR PETS.

The woman who likes and keeps pets
of any kind should like them well
enough to keep them we'll. Their
health should be of enough Importance
to her to warrant the expenditure OF
sufficient time and attention on her
part to insure it.
Suppose she has a dog. OF course,
the dog is hers for her amusement, en-
tertainment and diversion. But she
should see to it that the dog is-al-
lowed only regular feelings. Perhaps
it is pleasing to pamper him with bon
bons whenever he begs for them: but
he will have to suffer. eventually. for
this Indulgence and he does not know
it. Only the superior intelligence of
his mistress can reason from the cause
of sweets given injudiciously to the ef-
feet of painful rheumatism in his dog
old age.
With a cat the obligation is the same.
The cat must be given air and food
Of the right kind and amount. 1t must

have notably weak lungs. And both
cats and dogs must be given water

that water should always be accessible
to both dogs and cats. Others say that

the constant drinking of water, always
accessible. leads to fatness-a calamity
to be guarded against, as it brings
| real suffering to the animal in its
wake.
Even a canary must be cared for ju-
! diciously, if its life is to be happy
Regular exercise outside its cage is
desirable, if its owner has time to look
after this exercise. A scrupulously
clean cage, fresh water and seed every
day, greens of some sort-lettuce
celery, plantain-once or twice 4 week
and enforced abstinence from sugar

! tails insure health and therefore hap
piness to the Gagged bird. Perhaps the
fact that It is Gagged. that it has SO
few ways of making it's wants known

THE NEW TOPCOAT STYLES.

fective method of producing a desired
line on any garment without the aid
| of applied material
| The long waist line is continued in
the back by the shaping-in of the
, width which broadeus as it goes, Civ
ing enough ful1ness at it's sides to pleat
and form a decided fare-an important
fashion of the hour, by the way, this
flare beneath the hips.
Start Unimportant.
Whether it starts just below the
waist or begins well down on the hips
is not important. If it is managed
so that the hem swirls out at the
sides of the figure. that is all that is
required. Even if there is fullness in
the front. there must be none in the
back. 1t is difficult to describe the
exact way in which this feat is man
aged by the different designers. None
of them allows the material to pull
across any part of the back, and one
sees that the entire swing to the gar
ment is given by the manipulation of
the material at the side lines.
One of the best top garments brought
out, which has commanded an unusu-
ally high price. is of small checked
cloth. like a well knit flannel that has
no disposition to sag. 1t has width and
shape1iness. a difficult combination. as
any one who has Studied the subject
will admit.
The front is slightly double-breasted
from the neck to below the waist, and
fastens top and bottom with huge bone
buttons. The turnover collar is hieh
at the back and rolling at front. The
underarm seam accentuates the length
ened waist line. and the deity folded
pleat at the side gives the fullness re-
auired at the hem. In length it reaches
to below the knees. and the long
sleeves are finished with twelve-inch
cuffs of the fabric. There Is not
touch of trimming or color on the gar
ment The only marking is in the
black bone buttons at. neck and on
girdle.
Sweater Holds Place.
This coat is the embodiment of many
of the features which will be incor-
porated into other coats to be worn
over all manner of one-piece gowns or
separate skirts with wash blouses. Thel
sweater has kept it's prominence also,
even against the popularity of the sport
coat. 1t is copied from those worn on
the Brittany and Normandy coasts last
summer before the war broke out.
Burnt orange, Belgian blue. Chinese
yellow, black and white stripes, ana
now large checks in the same colors,

wool that is quite becoming. =.
Evidently, corduroy in sand tones will

also are being shown in it. made with
