' ERFECT good grooming means
 exquisite care of the person and
 also of the things that pertain

- 1Ot SOOo SlOOAiiliS hlCe1iio
 exquisite care of the person and
 also of the things that pertain to the person, and this exquisite care does require great deal of time not a bit of doubt about that-but It IS time well spent and care that brings It's own reward in personal sat- lsractlon. Lucky the woman who is so situated financially that she may entrust all the little duties of groom ing to capable maid. On stated days her hair is washed for her, her hngertips are manicured for her, her face is massaged, her stock of cold creams and powders is renewed with out any strain on her own memory; her boot buttons are sewed on. missing tapes are speedily supplied on under garments, and every bit of glass, china, silver and ivory on her dressing table is kept in spic and span condi- tion. All without the least trouble to herself.
 But the average woman must at- tend to all these details of good grooming herself, in addition to the thousand and one other things she has to do; and there is nothing that NASSN' uoiiiS ONSI OlIcucI lldu re- pairing of apparel and freshening up Of boudoir belongings. Not even the handsomest set of dresser silver in town can make a dresser attractive if its lace cover and pincushion need laundering or show bows of faded. limp ribbon. Much better have pillow slips of ordinary machine e-hemmed white muslin that go to the wash every Monday, than a chaise tongue loaded with embroidered lawn and lace cushions that are eternally wait ing for the leisure moment when they may be removed and laundered afresh.
 Brushes should be cleansed thor oughly at least once week for it is their duty to abstract dust and grime from the tresses that should even if they do not, receive the nightly half hour brushing. In order to cleanse the bristles without softening them certain care must be devoted to this labor. Once a hairbrush has lost it's crispness and stiffness of bristle it is useless, and might as well be thrown aside, for it will merely stroke and smooth the hair. rubbing in the oil and dust. instead of whisking 1t out

 Paris devices, in one case of silk and in the other case beads.
 The roll-brim turban is steel blue in color and is made of pressed milan of fine quality. The conventionalized chrysanthemum appliqued over the crown, is of steel gray silk. The "PapaP' turban is made of taupe col ored taffeta and chenille, the latter covering the tall brim. The orna- ments are of jet and steel beads. This Is the only hat pictured on today's page that sets well down over the head. The effect is necessary with this rather severe shape, to secure good tines and becoming ensemble. A third turban of violet milan has an excellent line, sloping from forehead up to a high peak at the back; line That always lends height to it's wearer. Pansy purple velvet ribbon is ar ranged in a new way at the back of this hat and the color scheme takes extra interest from large seed-pearl ornament which in pin form is thrust through the crown of the hat.
 Weird Colors, and Again Soft, Art Tones.
 Some of the spring hats seem to owe their inspiration to costumes designed by Bakst for the amazing spectacles of the Ballet Russe-the talk of the metropolis just now, and no doubt Bakst effects have been aimed at. In mind is a wide brimmed sailor of cream hemp, of which only a quarter of an inch of hemp shows at the brim- edge. Under and over the brim is black satin; the crown Is also black satin and around it's base is a wreath of splendid cherries in bright reds and pale and deep orange. Another hat in the same window is of gamboge sitraw-for the benefit of those who are not artists it is explained that gamboge is a sort of "greenery-yal lery" shade used to depict young will low leaves in spring. This gamboge straw sailor has a black satin crown and wreath of olives strung on fine jet beads. Less astonishing and emil nently pleasing is Palm Beach tray cling hat of taupe colored straw-a wide sailor shape with flat band and bow of taupe and fawn grosgrain rib bon. -.

lineage if not of er-developed men, tality. The new turbans are designed to make the head look as small as possible and the woman with large face must be very careful in selecting one of these little hats for the very small hat is dangerously apt to make large features grotesque. For the woman with small, mignonne features is the tiny turban that has no brim; and even then the hair must be ar
 ranged very close to the head and ears so that the turban may appear suff- ciently large for grace. A brim of one sort or another saves the day, in most cases, and many of the new turbans have brims; either infinites- imal-like the rolling brim of the model trimmed with an appliqued straw flower-or stupendous in height
 like the brim of the model called His Holiness" or "The Papal Tur- ban" Both of these hats, so different in style are authoritatively smart and

Ammonia helps to keep brushes dailan tily clean, without softening
 the bristles.
 "a weeks use can readily be conceived. These belongings, along with the nail buffer, the shoe horn and the coiffure pins of shell and amber should be religiously cleansed once in so often and that not less often than fort nightly.
 Jewelry is another item of personal belongings that suffers from neglect in the matter of cleanliness. There are strings of pearl beads, worn day in and day out, all through season that are so covered with precipitation and dust that they actually feel greasy to the touch. It may be necessary to polish every bead separately with soft cloth but the result will repay the trouble. Jewelry set with colored stones in imitation of gems looks vast ly better if treated to an occasional bath with warm water and drop of ammonia; 8 small brush should be used to get into the crevices.
 The very dainty woman renews the Things in her hats when they begin to look the slightest bit soiled; and coat collars are regularly cleaned with a prepared cleaner that comes for the purpose. The shoe bag should never go through winter without visit to the laundry. and Dresser covers should be changed for fre1h ones every week the year round.

in mind is a wide-brim sailor of white hemp with a rather "hoppy," graceful brim. The straw brim shows only at the edge, according to this seasons mode, a deep f1ange of bluet taffeta covering the brim to within an inch of the edge. The top of the crown Is covered also with bluet taffeta and around the crown is a band of striped blue and white ribbon, the stripes vertical. Folds of the taffeta hold this striped band against the hat, and 2 blue rose is caught at one side. For Palm Beach wear with filmy afternoon dresses is a shepherdess hat of vio- let milan with a violet facing under the brim and a band of white gros- grain ribbon around the crown SUD- porting cabuchon of violets and pale green leaves.
 Flower Hats Return With Spring.
 Perennial is the return of the flow er-turban. For some women it never loses its charm, and each season as tute milliners see to it that the be- loved flower hat is presented in new guise. Especially lovely are small turbans of white straw and white satin, with pure white azaleas encir- cling the crown. Small turbans made entirely of green leaves are sold at one large New York shop for five dol lars each and nearby is supply of big, waxen-petaled white gardenias at half the five-dollar price. The sam pie hat that draws women like bees to this counter is a green-leaved tur- ban adorned with white gardenia, posed under a glass case on most adorable wax beauty with red gold hair. The idea of the leaf turban with its white gardenia is really a

American Beauty and coral. It looks as though rose hats were going to have special favor a little later on and it will be well to keep this in mind for future confirmation. A stunning type of rose hat, repeated in coral and in old pink, has a wide, slightly dropping brim of hemp, faced under heath with taffeta in exactly the same shade. The rather low crown, in pleasing proportion to the wide, droop ing brim, is covered with the taffeta and around the crown is a band made of two folds of taffeta edging a cen tral strip of pleated taffeta. Against the crown at one side are caught two. very small, conventional flowers of taffeta, and at the brim's edge are two overlapping, ungathered frills of chif- fon also in the rose shade. This model, repeated in the various rose shades, and in a charming shade of Japanese blue, was greatly admired In the window of a Fifth avenue mill liner.

BoUDoIR SLIPPERS OF BRoCADE.

ER FRY dainty slippers for the bou- kH doir are of brocaded satin in a
 v color matching the negligee. These slippers are in the nature of "scuffs," or heelless mules, having only sole and toe. the sides and heel of the foot being uncovered. For a January bride pair of brocade mules of this sort has just been fin- lshed by 8 friend. Both sides of the sort that may be purchased in any shop where worsted and crochet needles are to be had are covered smoothly with white satin brocade, and a triangular piece of the brocade, fitted over the front of the sole, makes the slipper-toe. This toe portion is deep enough to come we'll up over the instep and is finished all around with white silk cord. knot and loops of the cord making dainty finish. Similar slippers of red and gold brocade match rich-hued Ori- ental negligee, and there are slippers of pale pink brocade, embroidered on the toe with crystal beads to match a lovely boudoir gown of pink chiffon and lace.
