Mouth Veil Is Latest,

Just to prove that variety is all
that is needed in the world of fashion
to interest femininity, gaze on the new
wells which are designed for afternoon
and evening wear and already show
signs of becoming popular. The new
veil swathes the lower half of the
face, giving the upper half a rest, and
reaches from the tip of the nose to
far below the chin. Smart women are
probably growing tired of the nose
veil and the veil for the chin and
mouth will doubtless be a welcome
change. The harem veil, which made
its appearance last summer on the
bathing beaches, suggested the new
one and the designers, disregarding
the original purpose of the beach veil
as protector from the sun, are u.s.
ing the idea for evening wear. 1t is
never worn with a hat and is TIED
about the head like a scarf.

windows. 1t is important, therefore,
that the ceiling be light and of col
or to reflect rather than to absorb
light.
In determining colors in our modern
houses, the various parts of which are
SO generally thrown together by the
use Of large openings, harmony or
even uniformity of color is particular
ly important Not only must the color
Of the individual room be good, but it
must be in harmony with the hall and
other rooms into which it opens. 1t is
necessary, then, to plan color scheme
for the whole house in which violent
contrasts will be avoided and restful
harmcnies encouraged. 1t is possible
under most building conditions to have
complete harmony for the house, to-
gether with variety in the rooms. The
house builder should use a dominant
color, and then modify this by giving
| different tones to the different rooms.
Finish of Woodwork Important.
Naturally, floors and woodwork have
much to do with the final effects. AS
rule, the floors on a single story
| should be continuous in color and fin
| lsh. For the woodwork, a large vari-
ety of effects is possible in these days
IF attractive stains. The danger is that
! this will be overdone. On the other
hand, the tendency toward simple fin

any color scheme and is particularly
appropris te for the simple style OF
architecture in vogue in many homes.

You wouldn't expect to stand firm
If the foundation were faulty. That
is the first thought in building a house
"a good foundation which is intended
not only to preserve the unity of the
building that is to come, but also to
be the means of holding it in place.
Later, all the finishing touches can be
added to make the house beautiful
What is true of the house should also
be true of your costuming. Be sure

right. This is the beginning, after
ward you can add to it beautiful clothes
for usefulness and adornment.
Correct corsets are even more i'm
portant this year than ever before, as
serts an authority. If you have any
desire to look attractive, and every
woman should have a keen sense of
the value of always looking her best,
not only does the silhouette demand
that there be a good figure beneath,
but the accessories also demand
that the corset be well fitting, for this
is a season of vests and vestees, which
will not and cannot look smart or fit
well unless the underneath fits well.
There is no need these days for any
woman to buy a corset at random or
to wear corset that is in any way un-
comfortable, for there is such a variety
of shapes, sizes and measurements
that, no matter what your need may be
there is a corset made to fill your re-
\ quirements.
Just buying a corset, because it is
made of pretty material is not being
done by women who wish to be well
I gowned and comfortable. Such WON
en- appreciate the fact that it is i'm
possible to pick up q corset from the
counter and by holding it in the han(
decide that the corset has the correct
lines for her figure.
N The time spent in the retail shop
having a corset tried on to determine
if it is the right one for you, repays {
hundredfold, and every shop nowadays
would far rather go to the trouble O.
trying on corsets in order to have tn,
customer content. 1t is also a grea
aid in overcoming the return good
trouble.
Certain it is that if the start ism
right the finish can't be what you de
sire for no mater how good lookin
your clothes may be the foundation

Authority for Wide Skirts,

Those who are. wearing wide skirts
get their authority from Jeanne Lam
win, one of the first designers Of the
world. She is the only dressmaker
who insisted upon the five-yard skirt,
and she held to her conviction by
turning out dozens of gathered or
plated skirts that hang Imply to the
figure, but are not in keeping with
the narrow silhouette of the day. She
is not unpatriotic. She did not use an
undue amount of wool in these skirts.
She had a few dozen other materials
to handle, and she is quite right in in
sisting that all her organdie skirts
should be five yards at the hem. Moth.
ing is more ungainly than hobble
skirt of muslin or transparent fabric
but it is believed that the Americans
in mass will not accept Lanvin's
skirts, as they prefer the redingote
over a slim foundation when they
wish fullness.

AIRMAN CAPE BECOMES A FAD
italian Aviator Style Enables SpIen-
did Use of Cloth, Serge, Satin
and the Jersey.

Whether the Italian aviator brought
about the revival of the cape, the fact
remains that it is the fad of the sea-
son.
It was left to Catherine DeMedici to
introduce flowing cape, she who also
introduced the corset, the small bon
net afterward called the Marie Stuart,
and the pompadour, which was then
called zen raquette," says an ex-
change. Marie Stuart, her daughter-in-
law, improved on the cape and wore
it as q voluminous garment that fell
from her famous black-and-white ruche
to the edge of her train.
Today we think Of the cape as be-
longing to brigands, to grand opera, to
Italian aTiators and to the navy. May
be it was from all these inspirations
that France started to make the cape
on a woman the most fashionable gar
ment of the spring.
There are capes of cloth, serge, satin
and jersey. The latter are especially

TO MAKE NEGLIGEE AND CAP
Dainty WearabIes Can Be Made With
Small Amount of Material, FASH
ion Writer States.

There is something particularly at
tractive about a thing that is simple
to make, according to fashion critic.
Then when it turns out a confection,
too, it becomes an absolute joy for
ever. Just such a thing is the boudoir
cap made from perfect square of
material. 1t is one of those fascinat-
ing Arabian models with long soft
folds falling well to the shoulder and
forming an attractive though maybe
a bit severe frame for the face.
All you have to do to achieve it is
to take the square of silk or lace or
whatever else you are going to use,
fold it diagonally or cornerwise, place
it on the center of the head so that
the four points of the hankie fall equi-
distant from the center. Now elimi-
nate the front point altogether by first
cutting out an oval the shape of the
|. face and continuing the line down
alongside the head. The cap is kept

MADE NEW MAP OF EUROPE
How the Congress of Vienna Took
Fruits OF NapoIeon's Victories
From Vanquished France.


The fall of Napoleon entailed the re-
making of the map of Europe. The
congress opened on November l, 1914.
England, Austria, Russia and Prussia
from the very first insisted upon regu-
lating all problems among themselves
and excluded France from the delib-
erations. King Louis XVIII, however,
prevented this ostracism and succeed
ed in being admitted, together with.
the secondary states.
Finland and the duchy of Varsow
were given to Russia. The duchy of Po-
sen, part of Saxony and that of Hano-
yer, the principality of Neuchatel. Co
logne and Treves, were ceded to Prus-
sia, Austria got back Istria, Dalmatia,
Friuli, Mantua, Venice, Lombardy, Ty-
rol and Croatia. The pope recovered
his states. The house of Bourbon re-
covered Naples and Madrid. England
obtained the principal French colonies.
The treaty Of 1915 conferred the pre-
ponderance to the powers of the North
and England. A special pact, the Holy
Alliance, solidarized their interests.
| The European equilibrium wcE AUS
re-established.

more formal apartments of special in
terest to men, the stronger, richer col
Drs-dark reds, greens, blues and
browns-have been used.
The amount of light and the size
of the room are important factors in
determining the color of the wall and
woodwork. The greater the light, the
darker the color that may be used
though very dark colors should always
be avoided. Warm colors, including
cream, buff, tan, golden brown, reddish
brown, ETC., are best for rooms where
the light is from the north, while
rooms with a southerly exposure are
best in the cooler colors-grayish,
blush and greenish tones, cool tans,
neutral browns, etc.

gests that for the smaller rooms so

women who need not worry because Of
expense. and the great number who
must count every penny TO make ends
meet.
The woman who must watch her
purse closely, that her family Is well
and economically fed, Is she who must
study food values, attend every lecture
on foods where she may gain new
Ideas or inspiration. We are con-
fused very often in our judgments Of
food values by taking this or that food
and learning its nutritive value, but
forgetting that different foods act upon
each other In the digestive process,
thus producing a more highly nutritive
food than either taken separately.
There win always be something lack
ing in substituting one food for an
other. Rice and potatoes cannot take
the place Of wheat, yet by adding q va
riety Of foods to our diet the health
Of the body as well as It's growth may
be kept up with no wheat at all.
The housewife who must consider
.ost, with food substitutes, is the
housewife who needs to study, and
over so per cent of our American WON
en- are In that class.
When butter substitute is used
on the table see that the family has
plenty Of egg yolk and green vege-
tables to supply the growth determin,
ant found In butter. 1t is better, where
possible. TO serve butter 10 the grow.
Ing child and economize In some other
way.
We are apt to feel that eggs uset
IN foods can be saved, thus cutting
down expense; but every egg added t.
corn bread, griddle cakes, cake or pud
ding adds just that much more foot
value to the dish.
