he isn't there to take her to the dances

Diary Of a Fashion Model
By GRACE TEORNCLIFFE

How pretty you look Julie" ex-
claimed on my way to Shelia May
nard's studio to enjoy the thrilling
picture of Julie in party toys" sill
houetted against the tapestry blue silk
background of the walls.
Come in and lnger awhile" in
vited Madame. Were trying to work
out some artistic headdresses, M. Hen
ri, Julie and I. We will be glad for
any bright ideas you may happen to
have"
time, but sat me down to watch the
interesting proceeding.
Madame had arranged jules gol-
den tresses into an elaborate couture,
which was somewhat like those of the
Vatican beauties. Then Madame had
added the GROWING touch IN the form
of a wreath of French ribbon posies
tiptilted forward just like the little
crownless hats of that fascinating per-
iod
The wreath was a work Of art. Tiny
pink and yellow roses, forget-me-
nots and heliotrope were informing
led in most artistic manner. A small
bow of Natter blue ribbon velvet
with short streamer ends ornamented
one side.
Julie was far 1ovelier than any of
the court bellies whose miniatures
adorn the fans and snuff boxes in the
museums.
|, Madame sent for the artist, who
made a sketch of the headdress, then
she called to monsieur.
Nov you may arrange jules hair
Empire fashion to correspond with
the short wasted gowns. Part it in
the middle and pile it up high on top
of the head at the back. Have at
least three curls hanging over each
ear"
Hair in monsieur's hands was like
clay in the hands of scultop. He can
mould it and make it stay just where
he wants it. In less than no time Ju-
lie was transformed into a lovely CO.
quetable girl of the Napoleonic era.
Madame studied the couture a Sec
ond, then picked up a bolt of Natter
blue ribbon with a picot edge. She
cut off generous piece and wove
it in and out about the towering knot
on jules head tying butterfly bows
at each side one with long ends that
hung nearly to the waistline.
AS a final touch she added two tiny
bouquets of French flowers. This
headdress pleased my fancy more
than the Vatican wreath, while mon
sieur said it was perfect
After the artist had sketched this
| couture Madame directed monsieur to
comb jules hair low and in a, rath-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Milk which has been changed may
be sweetened and rendered fit for use
by stirring in little soda.
Boiling starch is much improved by
the addition of salt or a little gum
arabic dissolved.
A tablespoonful of turpentine boil
ed with your white clothes will greatly
aid the whitening process.
Old boot tops cut into pieces of the
required size and lined make good
thick iron holders.
Odors from boiling ham. cabbage,
onions, etc., may be prevented by put
ting a piece of charcoal into the kettle
If stove polish is mixed with very
strong soap suds the luster appears at
once.
To remove stains of ink from books
or engravings apply a thin solution Of
oxalic acid, citric acid or tartaric
acid. Any of these acids will remove
the ink without harming the print in
any way.
To preserve flowers place little
saltpetre in the water.
To clean enamelled tubs easily
moisten a cupful of table salt with
turpentine and rub the tub with this.
When boiling chicken drop a fig
into the kettle and the chicken will
be more tender.
To keep milk from scorching, rinse
the pan in cold water before pouring
in the milk.

Incidents in the Lines of
World Famous Women


inc. There is one of us that hath no
fear, even of ltons-my father"
ST meant not to include him your
highness," the young lord said.
Let Lord Otto himself face the
lions and prove his courage since he
pirates so body" challenged the Dau-
phin.
The princess saw that serious trou-
BILE was brewing, and before Count Of
to could answer him she said: you
forget my lord, it is not knightly to
question the honor Of a guest
But the Lord of Arkell was ready
to take up the gauntlet thrown by
Prince John. Bowling low, he address
ed the Dauphin. eff you desire me as
a yassal to follow your lead, go, show
me you have the courage to enter the
lions den, Prince of France, and will
be close at your heels"
The court shouted it's approval of
this shrewd answer. Prince John was
90 coward1y to accept this dare.
"See how the prattler tries to crawl
out of proving his valor, I dare you
to face the ions' he tainted.
With a dignified courtly manner the
Lord of Arkell turned to courtier
saying, "lend me your cloak, Friend
Franz" And, wrapping the gray CAB
ardine over his brilliantly colored cos
tune he left the hall.
The lions were kept in an Enclosure
topped by a wide gallery, where the
court flocked to witness the test. Count
he ino1ne11rn wit nI1t a
moments hesitation. The great brutes
three in all, reused from their sleep
shook their names and stalked to the
side of the intruder without offering
to harm him, much to the astonish-
ment of the watchers. Then the fierc-
est of the trio crouched as if to spring
at something beyond the young Lord
of Arkell.
Stricken with horror those on the
balcony saw the fair young princess
Jacuueline approaching in her royal
robes Of blue and gold advancing to-
ward. Otto. A wall of terror arose
from every mouth. The Dauphin COW
cred his eyes with his mantle. Count
William called to the beast, Down
I say Ajax! down! Back, girl, quick"
Then before he could jump over the
rail into the Enclosure the lion had
leaped high into the air and crouched
at the feet of the princess while she
buried her white hand in the tawny
name.
Raising her eyes to the gallery she
cried: mo one can say now that only
Otto of Arkell of all the court dared
to face Count Williams lions"
Otto sprang to her side, and wrap
ping the borrowed coat about Jacquel-
inc he led her safely out of danger.
Thus the fair Lady of Holland
proved her courage equal to that of
any knight in her fathers court.

CARE OF CHININEYS

More gas and lamp sAobes and
cI imneys are broken in winter than
at any other season-the effect of the
frosty weather upon the glass. Lamps
and gas should be lighted very care
fully 20 prevent the glasses cracking
Never turn the flame on fully straight
away, but raise it gradually
Globes and chimneys are better not
washed during the winter-to do so
is to court expense due to breakage
They can be cleaned beautifully bv
rubbing them with a sponge dipped
i. vinegar, and then polishing Their?
with a soft, dry chamois leather or
piece of old rag. This way of clean
ing takes more time than washing the
glasses, but it is much safer.

One of the most romantic stories OF
the early 18th century is that Of JAG
queline, the Lady of Holland" She
was the only child of Count William
of Hainault and the wife Of Prince
John of Touraine, the Dauphin of
France.
Reared in the atmosphere Of chtual-
ry and romance the Princess Jacquel
inc declares one of her historians was
1.-The leader of adoring knights and
vassals, the idol of her parents and the
ruler of her softhearted boy husband"
In the great palace of The Hague
was the Hall of the Knights where as
sembled the court of Count William.
The Princess Jacqueline always sat
close beside her father and no matter
what distinguished guests were pres

ent she noted with great pride that
he was superior in bearing, in wis
dom and in physical strength to all
others.
Upon one occasion the court gos-
slipped about brave Young Hubert of
Malsen having routed a band of "ras-
cal merchants" at the bort fair.
In the midst of the laughter which
followed the witty description the
young Lord of Arkell, who had once
taken their side and who was now
practically a prisoner at court, rose
and said fiercely:
Hubert of Halsen is a false brag-
CART if he denounces the merchants of
bort as towards. Had they been fair
ly matched, he would not have dared
to face them any more than one of

SUITABLE SHOES
FOR every
COSTUME

Books on etiquette of long ago say
never to '1ook below the eyes," How
ever, in case any one in these later
times should be impolite enough to
look at ones feet it might be just as
well to have them shod with reference
to looks as well as utility. In the days
of short skirts and constant going up
and down steps, here, there and all
over, the shoes are quite as much in
evidence as any other part of the cos
tune, and unsuitable shoes are every
bit as bad as homely or shabby shoes.
Very few women possess the knack
of making a good choice when it
comes to this detail of well dressed
woman's wardrobe. Men seem to have
less difficulty in this, either from bet
ter judgment or because they have
fewer styles and conditions to consid-
er.
The woman with large ankle
seems determined to wear shoes with
white tops, which accentuate this de-
feet. Plain black or tan shoes she
leaves to her sister, who might well
wear shoes in two tones.
Then there is the woman who, judg-
liz 1IO1u appear duCSs liCNSI has ally
think in her shoe box but high heeled
slippers. She wears them on all pos
sible occasions.
One thing that may help is the fact
that fewer and fewer of the eccentric
shoes are noted, which formerly Swer,:
seen everywhere, and shoes all of one
color, with sane and sensible heels,
are worn plentifully both in the street
and in the shops.
Ties which lace up to ankle have
returned to favor and are being shown
in white kid, tan, plain black kid and
in patent leather, and it is to be hop
ed that with these to choose from
fewer pumps will be worn, gaping al
the sides.
For evening wear plain metal cloth
slippers, and slippers of brocades are
the newest thing. These have a ratn-
er high heel and sometimes a buckle
of simple design. The palmer slip
pers have buckles in rhinestones an6
silver, very delicate in design and
rather elaborate, too. 1t must be OBJ
served that the general tendency OF
shoes is toward the simmer lines ana
| it shows itself more in these slippers
than elsewhere.
| To come back to shoes for da!
wear the simpler models, will
straight, smart lines, are quite thu
best looking and afford a wide choice
for the woman who wishes to keel
up with the newest thing in footwea
and at the same time be suitably shod
Flat heeled pumps come in tn
heavier feathers with lines of perfora
lions as trimming. These have Meth
er bow nor buckle at the front ant
will be worn with simple tailor suit
and country clothes.
