partment started to-day on the re-
pair work on city streets. Commits

FRESH AIR GOOD FOR FACE
Idea That Skin Should Be Protected
by Thick Wells in Winter Is De-
cIared Mistaken One.

1t is mistaken idea that bundling
up to the eyes and covering the face
with thick wells protects the skin in
the winter. says writer in Farm and
Fireside. The more the face is ex-
posed to the fresh air the better it will
be for the complexion, and there Is
nothing more invigorating and benefi-
cial than a brisk walk during a snow
furry. Never carry an umbrella when
it Is showing. The best kind of water
to wash your face in is soft rain water,
and as snow Is only frozen water.
there is surely no reason why it should
be injurious to the skin.
DID not wash your face before going
out Into the open air, but If cleansing
is necessary apply cold cream and rub
1t well into the pores, afterward WHIP
ing the face well with soft towel
Cleanse the face with cold cream and n
good massage cream at least once q
week, and apply lotion to the face.
hands and lips every night before re-
firing. The lips are more susceptible
to cold and chap more easily than any
other part Of the face.

woman approaching the thirties, for
then she commences to need the shad-

furs and lace near her face. There
are little fine lines to conceal, train
ed look In the eyes, droop to the
mouth, that tell of the disillusions Of
life, born bravely, perhaps, showing
only in the face. BY shading the eyes,
by graceful outline Of curying brim, by
the coquettish pose on the head, tired
eyes are shaded into pretty wistful-
ness: cheek depression melts into the
soft tulle of the brim, instead of being
sharply silhouetted against an I'M
friendly background Then, too, the
hair Is covered-hair that is often a
bit lusterless or grazing.

MATERIALS FOR THE WRAP
Self-Brocades In Soft Satin orlin Satin
\ and Velvet Preferred by Some to
Gorgeous MetalIlcs.

s For those who do not care for the
gorgeous metallics and the luminous
velvets there are self-brocades in soft
satin or in satin and velvet, which are
decidedly worth while for the wrap.
In some instances these come In dull
gray, which combines beautifully with
chinchilla or with better grades of
squirrel. And right here 1t is worth
noting that Austrian opossum is back
and is being used alike for evening and
day coats.
Kolinsky is another fur to which the
Paris and American designers have
been partial In its association with
rich wraps. Ermine. of course, is
considered the fur par excellence for
evening wear.
1t is wonderfully alluring when as
sociated with the beautiful velvets or
with dark brocades. It does not seem
to be as effective when 1t is used to
trim the metallic garments, perhaps
because the latter need dark fur to
bring out their special beauty.

GOOD YEAR FOR MADE-0vERs
Economy the Watchword in Providing
Clothing for Grown Ups as Well
as for the Children.

Dresses made entirely of velvet or
velveteen are considered very smart
for girls of all ages, from the very lit
tie girl of five or six years to the
twelve-year-old, but when other mate
rails than velveteen or velvet are Sc
lected, 1T is usually noted that either
two colors or two materials are com
bined.
Plain serge may be combined with
plaid, velvet or velveteen may be com
bined with serge or wool jersey or
with taffeta. etc.
This state of affairs as regards
styles serves the same excellent pur-
pose in dressing the younger members
of the family as In Quitting the
grownups. That is, economy may be
served without appearance suffering,
as last-season garments may be
brought attractively up-to-date at
slight additional expense.

SIZES OF HOUSEHOLD LINENS
Cut and Dried Rules Exist for Guild
ance Of Housewife Who Makes
Own Sheets and Pillow Cases.

Many women make their own house,
hold linens, especially bed linens, pre-
ferring to buy their material by the
yard and seam 1t up into bed size. Bet
tier material can thus be afforded for
the same outlay of money. There are
some things which the housewife who
makes her own sheets and pillow cases
ought to know. First. that a sheet
should be 80 inches wider than the
mattress and from 20 to 30 inches long
err This allows for comfortable tuck
ing in all around. Sheet hens should
be inches wide at the top and
at the bottom Pillow cases are
one yard long and III inches wider
than he pillow. Hens OF pillow cases
should be 2 to 21z inches deep. Cen
trail seams In = pillow case should be
finished with fiat hem on the right
side. This kind Of hem not only
looks better, but wears and irons bet
ter than a French seam.
Table linen has more or less cut
and dried rule for sfze, too. A cloth
Should hang not more than IS inches at
the sides DInner-sIze napkins run
about ~ by q inches. Breakfast or
