gummed paper such as can be bought
in rolls for very small price. The
tailor boxes may be kept on hand from
year to year for this purpose.
This is, of course, the time of year
when it is necessary to take precau-
tions against moths. And perhaps the
greatest precaution that we should
take is the precaution of being on
time. If We would really keep moths
from doing their destructive work, we
must begin before they get a chance
to begin. That is, we must put the
clothes they like away before they can
lay the eggs that hatch out into the
destructive little worms that eat our
clothes
And the clothes. when We put them
away, must be clean. If they are real-
ly clean, that means there are no
moth eggs in them, and it also means
that there is less likelihood of moth
eggs, for moths seem to prefer soiled
clothes to clean ones.
So have furs and suits cleaned be-
fore packing them away for the sum

may be thus treated sent to the laun-
dry. Winter underwear, if there is
any in your family, skating stockings,
wooden bath robes and sweaters should
all be washed, dried and then wrapped
securely in paper before putting them
away If you pack your things in tar
or cedar bags. put them in the bags
directly after cleaning.
1t is not difficult matter to wash

fore the 1ayman knew that such a
thing was contemplated, our American
dreSsmakers with that quickness of
intelligence which the French appre-
ciate in them, threw out organdy
frocks by the dozen.
Every woman in Palm Beach and
the far southern resorts paraded in
one. They were made in shirtwa1st
fashion.
However. it was left to Lanvin to
raise them into the highest type of
picture gown. She not only sent to
this country organdy gowns in faint
yellow, pale mauve and faded Chinese
blue, but she added a hat to match,
made of the same material and fash
toned after the garden party type.
She used cable cord, which was in
fashion twenty-five years ago, as an
edging to her sleeves, ruffles and cape
collars, which kept the slim lines of
the organdy frock from attenuation.
1t was from her that We got the
great cape collar, double or triple,
which rises high at the back of the
neck and spreads in a rounded curve
over the shoulders, We are putting
that kind of neckwear on gowns which
are not of organdy, but we have found
out that the smart thing today is to
top the collar with an organdy hat
If these are of pale yellow or pale
blue, they may be added to soma
white gown, one of figured foulard.
season for all these fabrics. The in
coming of the organdy hat is merely
the additional touch to a vast para
phernalia of thin summer costumery,
| the kind that once was fashionable be-
| fore this sophisticated era set in.
Anything Rather Than Straw.
In summing up the organdy- hats, as
| we'll as those of satin, tulle and lace,
! one begins to believe that anything
rather than straw is chosen for warm
weather millinery. The organdy hat
is offered as the first thing for the fas-
| tidious woman who is going in for a
season of organdy owns, and a sketch
of the best one that Lanvin made is
| given here. -
1t is yellow, with an immense,
sweeping brim. and the trimming is
a Chinese blue ribbon around the
crown and a beaded rose resting at the
| front of the brim. A deep fold of
white organdy runs around the edge
of the brim. like fine ripple of surf.
Yellow and blue make a combina-

will have a yellow band around it,
