knew Puff and Kit had put glue on
the stick and it was stuck fast to his

Poor SNOWFALL! He licked and licked

SNOWFALL went into the house and
stretched himself behind the kitchen

and Kit for the trick they had played
on him.

DECORATING A GIRLS ROOM
Furnishings Should Be Kept Simple
and of Such Material That They
May Be Easily Cleaned.

The decorations and furnishings i'm
a girls room should be kept simple
The curtains. hangings, dresser scarfs
and pin-cushions, even the toilet ar
ticles, should all be of such material
that they may be cleaned easily.
Thin, sheer materials make the
daintiest covers for dressers and ia
bles, while the side curtains may be
of heavier crctonne or linen over thin
white muslin. Toilet articles of cell
luloid are in better taste than those
of heavily embossed, plated silver.
which become furnished.
The woodwork is always incest
when painted cream-white, while the
floor should be either stained or paint
ed, and covered with large rug or
small ones. Rag rugs are as fitting
as any floor covering, and they come
in lovely colors. You may sew the
rags and have the rugs woven to or
der, and obtain Just the shades de-
sired by having dyed the colors your
self. The walls may be papered in
plain, striped or Powered paper, or
tinted, or even painted, in clear, fax
tone. Plain ceilings are always mos
restful, and If figured walls are pres
emit it is best to have the hangings
plain also.

Now is the demi-season of our discon-
tent-as the Poet did not say-when
there is nothing new in blouses for
winter wear and nothing certain about
those for spring. But she who finds
herself compelled to add to her sup
ply may be quite certain of one thing,
and that is that her new blouses are
still to be of sheer materials.
With the incoming of each season
fol at least three, blouses have been
growing more and more diaphanous
1t is difficult now to see how they can
become more airy, but impossible to
believe that they will become less so.
Georgette crepe, chiffon, and other
sheer fabrics, not forgetting to count
in laces, are to be relied upon for the
present, and uncertainty will soon be
a thing of the past.

Only Christmastime reveals Just
how many fascinating feminine be-
longings are brought to the light of
day, and the delight Of everybody,
when thoughts turn to ribbons. 1t
seems that women love to work with
them and are inspired to fashion for
themselves and for their homes and
their friends all sorts of alluringly
pretty things.
Only three of the innumerable nov
elites made of ribbon for the holt
day season are pictured here. Rib
bon bags, as usual, held first place and
ranged from the tiny fiowerlike sachet
to the capacious and splendid opera
bag. A pretty vanity bag is shown
here, made of light blue printed rib
bon with small rose and foliage de-
sign scattered over its surface. 1t
is lined with plain satin in pink and
is made Of four lengths of ribbons.
These lengths are rounded at one end
and only the straight edges are sewed
together. The bottom of the bag is
made of little obIong mirror, in
cased in the pink satin, with the mir
ror side out. Within the bag are a
little powder box and puff and any
other Of the complexion aids which
are required.
The bag is closed by drawstrings of
narrow satin ribbon finished with
small bows at each side. When the
opening is drawn UP the rounded ends
of ribbon have the appearance of
flower petals and the top becomes a
blossom
A small circular pincushion is
shown below the bag, made by shir-
ring plain satin ribbon over fine wires
to cover a small circular foundation.

1t is suspended by a narrow ribbon
hanger ana finished with little ro-
settes. Black pins with round heads
add to it's decoration, and three small
chiffon roses are grouped at the cen
ter. They may be scented.
A pretty boudoir cap of plain wide
satin ribbon and fine net lace is
shaped to the head by shirrings over
cord. 1t is trImmed with a crushed
band of the ribbon with bows at the
front and bucklesf covered with little
ribbon roses in several colors. At
the back loops and ends Of narrow
satin ribbon match the cap in shade.

Just at this moment we are reveI-

happily there seems to be no attempt
to revive the bizarre attire once af-

waltz very well, or he felt sure he

sit and chat for a while. or the

instead of blocking the streets;
without a few square feet where
