Make Your Own Shades.

1t is not always economy to make
things that take a lot of time and
save very little money in the end, but
it will be an economy to make your
own shades that can be washed and
ironed like the other curtains. Sc
lo.,t @ heavy bleached cotton cloth,
cut the length and width of the win
dows and make hem one inch 'ide
at the bottom. Tack onto the roll
ers with small tacks and insert the
old curtain sticks in the lower hem.
These can be taken off the rollers
washed, ironed and starched stifily as
often as they show soil. Decorators
are using cretonne and other 6rapery
material for shades. They are made
in the same way. A good printed lin
en- or cretonne can be washed as well
as the plain cotton, and if the room
calls for cretonne in the furnishing
scheme it might prove more attractive
than the plain white.

many of the new skirt and blouse COM
binatiens, however, seem to accept the
virtue of practicability accorded to
them by reason of their classification
and let it go at that.
Instead of possessing one separate
skirt for wear with various blouses,
the woman who keeps up with fashion
must now have several skirts and
blouses. The whole frock has main
tained an unchallenged place in wom-
ans favor for several seasons now,
but the blouse-and-skirt combination
is pressing it hard. No separate waist,
however elaborate and expensive, is
suitable for formal occasion and the
best dressed women do not wear
waists and skirts for restaurant dining
or at even afternoon performances at
the theater, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
A waist-and-skirt combination is sup
posed to express informality.

Tight at Ankles

New York.-The substitution of one
idea for another as form of regener-
ating, rejuvenating and re-arranging
the human brain, Is as old as psychol-
ogy. 1t was practiced, AYERS leading
fashion critic, probably, long before the
word was invented. 1t is one of the
worlds fundamental creedS, moral,
physical and mental; and when some
OF the religionists got hold of it as
new doctrine, they were only exploit
Ing what began before the. Pyramids.
In the early part of the war, those
who We're not clever In the art, de-
piored the extraordinary skill of the
Germans in being able to control the
masses by deliberately substituting a
new idea, covered up by phrase and
hammered in by reiteration. They are
doing 1t today, and so far it has never
failed them with their own people.
They use the word defensive" instead
of ito conquer"
America is going through many
phases today. probably the most pow
erful in her career, which have come
about through the substitution in her
composite brain of one national idea
for another. And the work filters down
through crevices Until 1t seeps through
the strata of underlying, and seeming
| ly insignificant, by-products of our ma
| tfunal life.
1t is this seepage down to dress
which Is Che point of this preface. One
idea has been substituted for another.
! With all the critics against its success,
| the psychologists watch with interest
the public playing into the hands of
| those who started the idea.
! Today american labels are put into
French gowns. This lis not a wild
statement. 1T is done at some of the
best houses. Mannequins will come in
i wearing tfrocks which the public is told
i are the designs tof the house itself, and
i these models are sold ito shops and
4 lesser 'dressmahers and pass Through
i cut the country as the creations of an
i American designer. They were really
made lin France, brought ito this coun-
j try by importers, copied verbatim, and
turned out as American creations.
That is not honest; but that lis not
exactly the point of this particular
story. The extreme interest tcenters in
the fact that the substitution of one
idea for another lin the national brain
has compelled ,or persuaded the trade
to offer to the public whatever 1T ccar
that bears an American stamp.

Some of the new fall suits are made
with n cape effect at the back. One

tallic cloth. Gowns of it are conspic-
uously out instead of in, says FASH
ion writer. Here and there a cele-
brated French designer uses bit Of
dull, tarnished cloth as a foundation
for some sombre, transparent fabric,
but this is not often repeated.
Where we get our CLINT of metal
throughout all the women's clothes, is
in the embroidery, and now and again,
in buttons. This is one of the mill
tary touches that seems to be permis-
sible. When velours is trimmed with
| gold or silver braid, the effect is good,
because the metal sinks into the pile of
the fabric and does not proclaim itself
so boldly as on flat, smooth surface.
There is a good-looking black velours
gown now shown which looks lun-
commonly like an American costume
worn by man, with it's tight, narrow
skirt and its long, swinging tunic slim
at the shoulders and girdled at the
waist. 1t is trimmed with gold braid
and buttons, and there is a narrow
band of this braid to form the hem OF
the skirt. To soften the metallic gilt.

Of black caracul on the tunic. The
richness of the frock gives it distin
