FORERUNNERS OF SPRING STYLES.

lean women was a slogan and theory,
but it died out with the first KNOW
! edge of Frances courage in the face
of Frances trials.
When America thought that France
could not rally in the making of fash
ions, as she was sending her men TO
war, there was a natural belief over
here that we would have to supply the
deficiency, but we proved to be good
sports. and when Paris said she could
continue creating styles we gave her
plentifully from our prosperity. Thou
sands of women have been kept from
starvation over there because Amer
can women chose to dress well.
Forecast for the Spring.
These new gowns that the dressmak-
ers are sending south are really mod
eIed on the French gowns that were
shown at the Ritz-Carlton in Novem-
her AJaybe we will follow these lines
throughout the spring:
There are many who believe that this
will be the case, and they are experts
who should know. If Paris designs an
entirely new set of gowns in FeDruary
she will certainly cover herselt with
glory this year. for that means three
sets in one season, which is vast out
put for even so prolific place as
Paris.
The gown shown in the sketch is
heralded as a harbinger of spring, ana
il introduces both the farthlngale ana
the apron 1t is of bright pink taffeta
and chiffon in a lighter shade, for 1t
has become one of the smart things in
dress to combine two tones of pink IN
one frock One of the most allurlng
evening gowns that is going to Palm
Beach is of pale pink taffeta lined with
rose satin. the drapery manipulated IN
such a way that the lining constantly
shows.
The gown in the sketch has another
novelty besides the apron, which is the
ribbon belt used in marking out the
waist line on a deep girdle. This is
peculiar trick INDUCED in by Cheruit
and Jenny. You see it on long-waisted
coats, as well as on long-waisted bod
ices On the former there is no at
waist line; the cravat belt, as it is
called. merely indicates the waist line
beneath. All of these belts are narrow
and some of them end in buttons and
others in small, fiat bows.
The sleeves in this gown indicate q
return to styles of the end of the
eighteenth century. They are of chif-
low the elbow. One sees on every side
a strong attempt to bring back sleeves
to evening gowns, although there is an
amazing absence of all kinds of sleeves
and shoulder drapery in some of the
gowns worn.
Probably it is just this freedom from
the restraint of clothes that has in
duced the dressma kers to change the
STYLES.
Cheruit is credited with the idea of
putting an apron on an evening frock,
and the fashion is at last beginning to
take hold: 1t is borrowed from the pas
toral days of Marie Antoinette.

Rain Water Compilations.

| SO IL you want things changed as to
your complexion, you must begin with

warm, southern sunshine at that You

There is no balm on earth so healing
cleansing and beautifying as clean.
fresh rain water. There is no com
piexion on earth which can keep its
bloom and beauty without Iife-eiyinp
and germ-killing sunshine
To those who live in the country or
IN small towns, supply of fresh rain
water Is easily managed. Many a CITY
roof, too, is so arranged that one pipe
snort enough to permit a bucket
standing under It.
An excellent cask for keeping the
stale rain water to be used upon the
face in a healthy condition Is made in
this way:
Set the cask or barrel on end. take
out its head and at a distance of
about one-third from the bottom nut
In false bottom pierced with holes
This shelf is then covered with a lay
er of clean small pebbles, over which
quantity of charcoal made from wood
or bones and fine sand should he laid to
the depth of an inch. and this is then
covered with another layer of clean
pebbles. Over this fItering shelf an
other must be placed, pierced also with
holes to prevent the water above rush
ing out too fast and disturbing the
sand, charcoal and pebble bed below.
At the bottom of the barrel tap is
placed to draw off the water as want
ed, and except when taking on a new
supply of its beautifying fluid, the rain
water barrel must be kept tightly
closed
When using the water upon the face
or hands have it only little over blood
warm-never cold or boiling hot-and
for cleansing purposes use pure hy-
gienic tar or CASTLE soap. Cheap soaps
1T is poor judgment that economies on
face soap, for a tenth of the price
spent on repairing the damage of a
bad one VIII buy a soap guaranteed the
world over for purity
Alwys cleanse the fact at night and
remember that going even one night
without removing the days plaster of

plexion.
A good face scrubber is soft cloth
of fine linen or the ends of old silk
underyests. hardy skin may stand
a rubber flesh brush. but the sensi-
tive one needs tender touch. and for
skins actually diseased a cameTs hair
brush is sometimes necessary. A
sponge is ruin. for since not one in a
million is properly cleaned, all are
nests for germs.

The Yard of Lightfoot the
Deer.

Do YOU know that Lightfoot the Deer
spends the winter in yard deep in the
Green Forest? That is. he does when
there is deep snow everywhere. 1t
doesn't have a fence around it. OF
course not Whoever heard of any of
the little people of the Green Forest
building fences? But it is yard just
the same. If YOU don't believe it just
ask Jumper the Hare the very next
time You meet him. He knows. You
see he has been all over it. He went
with Lightfoot himself.
"You see it's like this explained
Lightfoot. as he led the way, Jumper
hopping along behind, my hoofs are
sharp and 1 can't walk on the snow
the way you can"
Il know" interrupted Jumper. Some
folks laugh at my big feet and make
fun of them. but when the snow is
deep it is my turn to laugh ! never

looked at his feet proudly.
Lightfoot nodded politely and went

work" ventured Jumper.
"Of course it Is hard work, but things

retorted Lightfoot. THE trouble with
some people is that they have things
too easy. oh. l don't mean any, one in
particular. he fastened to add, as he
saw Jumper look at him suspiciously.
