pillows have been particular favorites,
many being made of gay-cOlOred silks,
trimmed with gold braid and Occa-
sional taSSelS. These cushions are
usually shirred at the outside edge
and bound with braiding. Beginning
near the center, circular bands of tiny

around the edge. The beads are sewed
on with several worsted threads, to

TO MAKE CLOTH LOOK NEW
Sizing Is Important and Too Much

must be taken with eolored materials
that they do not fade. and with white
materials that they remain snow

department Of agriculture, much de-
ponds on the sizing Of cloth. Too
much stiffening spoils its appearance
and too little Is quite as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stiffening ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and also
acts as an absorbent for stain. thus
saving wear on the fiber by making
excess friction In laundering unnec-
essary. Manufacturers add other sub
stances besides starch to their finished
mixture and their practices have been
adopted in home laundry work with
success.
For instance, borax gives smooth
ness; paraffin. wax or turpentine gives
gloss; and alum a certain degree of
pliability. The substance used to
whiten is bluing, which counteracts
the yellow tinge. To use any finishing
process successfully the mixture must
be carefully worked into the fabric TO
insure uniform finish. This Is done By

SHAPE AND COLOR OF SHOES
Footwear Dealers in Annual conven-
ton Limit Height Of Shoe Heels to
Two and one-EIghth Inches.

Simplicity In shape as well as In
color will be the predominating style
in footgear for the coming season, big
dealers declared at the recent conven-
ton Of the National Shoe Retailers
association at St. Louis.
Styles win conform largely to the
standards set by the war industries
board. for shoe manufacturers had adj
vanced far into the output Of 1919
goods when the government lifted shoe
regulations. =
Many Of the postwar problems were
taken up at the initial session Of the
eighth annual convention, which was
the largest gathering OF manufactur.
ers, jobbers, wholesale and retail shoe
men ever assembled. More than 5000
Delegates attended.
The association determined TO hold
styles for the coming season to rigid
simplicity and few colors. The style
committee recommended not more than
three tones O, brown. two shades OF
gray and the black and white. The
height Of the high shoes Is not to ex-
coed eight and one-half inches. Lace
win be the prevailing mode. For

shoes win have low heels Of one and

Straight and box lines will predomi-
nate generally. A few chicken" mod

Collars, when they exist, will be of
the long shawl variety. suggesting the

tuners association in Cleveland, O. the
committee on designs prepared styles
for the coming spring which are Of
great import to the manufacturers of
dress and coat fabrics and dealers In

The report of the design and model
committee reads In the main as fol-
lows:
"Suits-There is such a variety Of
suit styles for spring that women will
be able TO find expression of their
own individuality. Smart and youth
full are the short. loOse-hanging box
models.

broidery; others are more simple OF

bright colored vests or veStees. max

the predominating features of these
tailor-made suits is a graceful, long
rolling collar so fashioned to display
smart vestees or blouseS, which are so
becoming and fascinating. As sport
clothes are timely, much dash and
smartneSs is given in novelty belts and
partial belts. making an attractive
means Of fastening. Large pockets
and convertible collars add beauty and
TO this type of garment.
"SkIrts-The skirts for spring will
be built On youthful lines. not too tight
and having the appearance Of tapering

smart. novel cuts that accentuate this
effect. These skirts are worn about
seven inches from the floor.
