POLISH THE SPECS

N T is deplorable to note, as one trav-
 els about, how many eyeglasses
 need polishing cloth. People otherwise well groomed and smart ly dressed wear glasses sadly in need of cleaning. Fingermarks show all around the edge of the lens and sometimes there are smudges and spots on the glass directly in front of the eye, the wearer twisting his head sidewise to regard you through clear place, when thirty seconds use of a polishing cloth would make the lenses clear and shining. It is the eyeglass that Is constantly put on and off that seems to be the neglected one. Peo- pie who wear glasses continuously usually keep them spic and span perhaps because they realize how much their appearance depends on the clear, fawless condition of the glass always before their eyes. For few cents a package of prepared cleaning and polishing paper may be obtained and one has only to tear off a leaf and rub the glasses half min- ute to make them brilliantly clear.

@N OSY girlhood!" How the poets KY have sung of it, from time inn MM memorial! "A June rose of a girl sings one; My rose of the rosebud garden of girls" says anoth- CT. Girls themselves give very little thought to their likeness to roses; it is after the forty year mark has been passed and the rose flush has faded from a sallow, sluggish middle-aged skin that woman looks back with yearning toward that wonderful, bril- liant, altogether unappreciated com plexion of girlhood.
 It is safe to say that there is no living, civilized woman, to whom the thought of make does not occur at one time or other. Sometimes the thought is put sternly away as inn moral and worldly; sometimes the temptation is resisted because of ig- norance of the ways and means of acquiring that rose-dush of prettiness through artificial means.
 The time is past when a little be- coming "make-up" was considered disgrace to a decent woman" Even the debutante touches up now-after a wearing season of late hours; the | CnlC or seventeen ndS Her VdHlly Mt of poudre de rig and lipstick and uses them, unashamed, in the dress ing room at ball or restaurant. The only heinous crime about making-up, these days, is the sin of being found out. A false and artificial appear ance is in execrable taste. Makeup that is apparent robs face of beauty and of charm: but there seems no valid reason why woman should not "help out" her faded complexion and make it more youthful. just as she helps out" her faded tresses by ad- ding artificial braids and puffs.
 Flesh colored powder should be used for daylight unless one is very swarthy brunette. For dark complex ions there is a special brunette pow der. The pure white or rose-tipted powder is for gaslight use only, and even then is safe only for the blond beauty with a naturally clear, dag zling skin. After the powder has been applied evenly all over the face, smooth it down with bit of chamois. l Then apply the rouge with piece of

But it is the box that is expensive, the chocolates being the quite ordinary-in Manhat- tan-sort that come for dollar or so the pound. The receptacle for candy forms the base of a graceful Empire couch of hand-tooled green leather Upon the couch are many little cushions of colored silk and gold lace and upon the silken cushions reclines wee Parisienne, a graceful little figure made of bisque and clad in a modish negligee of white tulle and silver lace, with a pink rosebud about the size of pin head here and there. After the candy is gone the receptacle may be used as a jewel | casket.

From the sides of the hat narrow ribbons extend back ward to tie in a bow just below the knot or puffs of the hairdressing, and roses, forget heliotrope or other old-fashioned flowers are massed across the front of the brim,

If the face is plump and rounded the rouge should be applied high on the cheeks and near the.nose; if thin and narrow, the face should be touched with color lower on the cheeks and toward the cheekbone.
 The removal of the makeup is as important as its application. The face must be gone over with pure cold cream and then bathed in warm water and soap and rinsed in several waters, the last one rather cold. The bits of chamois and lambswool with which powder and rouge are applied must also be kept scrupulously clean. If they are not. grime and dust will be rubbed into the skin each time they are used.

haired women. A charming summer hat from Marcelle Demay Is of fioppy leghorn with crown entirely covered with navy blue taffeta. A cluster of five pink roses rests on the back of the brim toward the right, weighting the supple brim at this point. and from the under side of the dropping brim come two navy blue streamers which are pulled forward over the shoulder. An Odette hat of navy blue erin has a -slanting brim and a tall crown around which swirls uff-colored ostrich. and tiny pink roses nestle among the feathers. From Georgette is a practical and smart sailor of blue milan faced with blue satin. Around the crown are many overlapping bands of narrow ribbon in parrot red, buff, black and blue.

to wrestle with straw braiding unless you have patience and steady nerves for the many lengths of straw, each one starting to fray out at its ends, are rather troublesome to manage. In any event purchase a generous quan- tity of straw so that you need not do your braiding with short pieces. After the ends of the braided section have
 been turned under on the wrong side and tackled in place, the raveled and | frayed bits can be cut away.
 Leghorns Have Frilled Silk Crowns. For wear with dainty frocks at May festivities and June commencements and weddings, there are enchanting hats of leghorn with crowns disguised under frillings of silk. From Lewis comes such a hat, pictured on todays page. The poke shaped brim is quaint and its quaintness is emphasized by the bride" of pink ribbon, picot edged, which passes under the chin. The crown Is made of pink satin long strip, run by hand with deep tucks. On the hat the tucks are drawn up into frills, the gathered satin fitting itself to the shape of the crown. Two pink roses arranged in natural effect with leaves complete the trimming. Some of the new flower trimmed hats are lovely past descrip- tion. The milliners seem to be wing with each other in delectable flower arrangements. Sometimes roses nod aloft, several inches above the high crown; again they tumble riotously over the brim to mingle with the hair. They may be perched formally on the edge of the brim, or massed in clusters against the crown, and they trail in wreath effect across crown and brim. On a black straw hat by Carlier are no less than twenty fair sized pink roses-almost two dozen roses, think of it! And the hat is not over large, either. They cover the

 on the fingers, go over the face with light, firm. pinching motion, picking up every inch of the skin between thumb and forefinger and rcNi,- s- around slightly before letting go. Be careful to pinch the muscles under the skin as well as the skin itself. You will be all in glow by the time you finish.
 If you have strong scruples against the use of cosmetics, try this simple vegetable treatment sometime, when you wish to appear especially well and wish you possessed little of that rosy girlhood look you used to have. Massage the face and neck with crushed strawberry pulp and juice. Follow with a massage of thick, sweet cream, pinching a whole half pint of the cream into the skin. Allow this to dry in for half an hour or more you will be surprised to note how youthfully pink and white your com- plexion has grown! Now slice raw beet and apply 1t lightly to your cheeks. You will be rewarded by a delicate rose flush of color. Last of all use very little powder. ordinary talcum will do if you have objections to poudre de rig.

A Ma1ti11a At the Opern

AMERICANS are quick to take up
 new style tendencies-if the ten tencies please them. The Span ish vogue has "caught-on" to fem mine fancy and one counts scores of high Spanish combs sustaining piled up coiffures in every well dressed audi ence at the theatre now. In an opera
 box late in March was observed a slen- der blond woman wearing a well sug- gested mantilla device made of airy folds of black tulle-a long black tulle veil, it was really thrown over the head and falling almost to the waistline at the back and on the shoulders. Around the head, confin- ing the folds of tulle was tiara of jet and brilliants. This rested just above the brows in front and rose to a peak. At the back 1t narrowed to a tiny band. Below 1t flowed the folds

the crown. two inches from the top. Under the chin goes "bride' of black velvet ribbon.
 The graceful Georgette sailor pie tured is trimmed with a new conceit in ostrich-a sort of shell ornament combined with short, curling feath- CT. Another f e t h r Is attached piquantly to the velvet streamers, the little plume curling over the shoulder when the streamers are pulled for ward-as all hat streamers should be, for hat ribbons hanging down the back do not accord with the smart silhou- cite. This Georgette sailor. in the graceful, unexaggerated shape that this milliner loves best is of taupe colored milan with ostrich in fawn color and streamers of Nattier blue. An exceedingly smart hat by Chanel shows new adaptation of ostrich to the needs of high-brimmed turban. The crown of this hat Is quite lost except from a top view for swath- ings of ostrich mount to the very edge of the high, turned-up brim. An or namental pin of pinkish pearl is thrust among the feathery mass at one side, giving a characteristic touch to the black hat. To Lewis again one turns for an example of the newest feather arrangement. And who would not turn to Lewis-and turn and turn again-for hats and hats and hats if one had carte blanche to buy ones hearts desire of millinery? A new Lewis hat all black-as so many of the smartest hats are this spring Is of fine erin in Napoleonic shape with a very wide turned back brim held to the crown by pleated cock ade of black grosgrain ribbon. From side to side of the hat, travelling quite across the crown go sixteen tiny black ostrich tips, placed close together. At a little distance they might be tiny, plump birds roasting on that hat and the effect Is chic and unforgettable.
 Black and silver hats are a special type of this season, for silver has found its way to the hat after exploit ing itself all winter on the dance frock. A black and silver model by Marcelle Demay is pictured. The graceful shape is of black lace straw, the brim tilted up at the back to ollOW luO 1ldlI 1lCOI SuScu SllNeI TlD- bon, tied into little bows, encircles the base of the crown and at the front is big rose of silver petals and leaves. Streamers of black velvet are attached to the brim at the back and are caught together below the shoulders with another silver rose.
 Navy Blue and Roses.
 Because navy blue is shade hard to obtain just now. capricious fashion elects navy blue as her special favor ite. Rather new are leghorn models trimmed with navy blue silk and rib bon, and deep pink roses. The blue is bright rather than dark navy, the shade that is almost universally becoming to dark, light and gray

~ HE latest addition to the comfort
 of the luxurious motorist is
 - tonneau pillow of leather which may be showed between the seat-cush- ion and ones shoulderblades, or tucked under an elbow, or even placed beneath the feet. Two or three of these pillows make wide tonneau seat much more comfortable when only one person occupies it, for the leather pillows, wedged in the space ordinarily occupied by another per- son, keep the solitary one from slid ing and slipping about in the jolting of the car. The pillows are bag-shaped and have handles at one side so they may be carried easily. They come in various shades of leather and will be useful also in the canoe and at road side picnics when the car stops for luncheon en route.
