THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUsf
Conserve Your Stockings,

Word comes from the dry goods
world that there is a marked short
age in women's hosiery at the present
time. To some women any report of
that sort of shortage in any line of
apparel induces them imm ediately to
scout thru the stores laying in as large
supply as they can well afford of
the article in question, fearing that
the situation may become even more
critical. That is hardly the public
spirited thing to do, and in most cases
1t is not necessary. boarding of all
sorts usually proves its own punish
ment in the long run. Moth and rust
do corrupt even in this twentieth CEN
fury and maybe the kind of stocking
that you want now will not be the
kind you will want in another season.
Moreover, in a few months the stu
alton may be cleared up and perhaps
you will pay more now for the things
you are tempted to hoard than You
will a little later
No, the really wise thing to do
and the only sound economic proce-
dure in the event of any shortages
not to hoard, but to set about very
definitely to conserve the supply you
already have on hand. Increase your
supply within reasonable limits if you
think It is necessary, but above all. put
into condition the available supply you
already have on hand.
And IN the case of stockings that
means darning.
1t is very important in doing good
darning to have suitable mending
thread-there should be mercerized or
silk darning thread for silk stockings,
wool for wooden stockings. and cotton
for Isle or ordinary cotton stockings.
Needless to say, you should have on
hand mending materials for white,
tan and black stockings. For the oc-
casional pair of colored stockings it is
sometimes best to use colored sewing
silk for mends that show. At the five
and ten cent stores you can secure a
box containing a collection of tiny
spools holding silks of various colors.
and these will answer the purpose.
For holes on the foot if you have no
mending cotton to match the stock
ings, then use white
AS a means of conserving the stock
ings you already have on hand. one
of the best things you can do is to
make practice of wearing pair of
stockings only a day or two days at
the most Washing does not wear out
stockings to any appreciable extent,

This Makes the Curl
Stay in Your Hair

THE sjImerne method Of curling the
hair is unusually popular just now, ac-
cording to the druggists. This is largely
due to the warm weather and because
women are now spending So much of their
time out of doors. Liquid silmerine not
only produces the ioveliest. natural look
ing curIs and waves. but it Keeps the hair
in curl no matter how hot or how moist
the day, or how hard the wind blows.
1t is simply wonderful how this harmless
liquid converts the straightest, lankest hair
into such pretty curly locks in a single
night. All one need do is to wet a clean
tooth brush with liquid silmerine at bed
time, draw this through the hair, and in
the morning she finds her hair has dried in
just the sweetest wares and crinkles. A
few ounces will keep the hair curly for
many weeks. = 1t will also keep it beauti-
fully soft. silkv and lustrous.-Adv.

saw in it something as durable as
serge, and cooler.
Materials Becoming Standardized.
Once upon a time, we were quite
capriciouS concerning the materials
we would buy for our clothes, but now
under the pressure of circumstances.
we are glad to get what has been guar
anteed as good. We no longer cry
aloud for an unusual dye, for a special
weave that some Frenchman of genius
has. created; we no longer insist that
the dressmaker must copy a good
French model in the exact fabrics and
tones of the original, nor do we refuse
it if this cannot be done.
AS a nation, we have grown sensibly
inclined toward taking what we can
get and making the best of it, There
fore, when conservation and necessity
demand that we wear standardized
materials, that serge, satin, taffeta,
Georgette crepe. chiffon. velvet and
cotton materials go round and round
each other in a circle, we, as a nation
of women, make no complaint.
We are glad to know that America
has nearly conquered the dye situation
and that it is not necessary for us to
garb ourselves in the black, blue and
gray of som berness; but we do not
insist that a dressmaker cannot serve
US unless she can give us something
rare in weave as well as in cut.
Therefore, satin not only comes into
its own for evening gowns. but 1t, goes
back into that special niche arranged
for it by the tailors, who conceived it
to be very good for street clothes.
1t was a rather original tailor who
created the first well known satin coat
suit for a dancer who exploited many
new things in her day. The black satin
was of heavy quality, the kind the
French have made famous, and it was
treated as tho it We're homespun or
broadcloth. 1t was stitched, flattened,
ironed and made to look like a mans
suit.
1t made an instant success. Women
who wanted novelty followed the idea,
and those who preferred to be stylish
and cool to stylish and warm, realized
that the fabric had estimable quail
ties.
Satin Suits More Elaborate.
This season, the suits that are
launched in satin show that they do
not intend to take upon themselves the
precise severity of other days. They
are touched up with gay bits of color,
they have a sash. a waistcoat and COL
lar and cuffs that give the effect of
greater GOODNESS.
The sketch shows such a suit. 1t is

The skirt Is narrow, with pleated
panels at the side that drop several
inches longer than the hem of the
underskirt, to give that irregu1arity
which seems so desirable to those who
follow the fashions. The jacket is of
moderate length and has no charm
of novelty until it arrives at the waist
coat. which serves as a substitute for
a blouse. This is of pale pink lawn
fastened up the front with black vel
vet buttons and rising to unusual
heights in stiff collar that opens in
front so that no one need fear the
terrifying spectacle, of a double chin.
The sash is another trick that
catches ones eye. 1t is black: it runs
thru the back of the coat, and it ties
in a butterfly bow.
