How To Use Precipitation
Preventative.

- Is so much better to use n Of
the good-and quite safe-prep-
arations for preventative perspira-
ton than to wear hideous dress,
shields with transparent blouses.
Nothing looks worse than a>handsome
Georgette or chiffon waist with ugly
shields showing through the sleeve
material. Not all women understand
how to use the creams which prevent
excessive Precipitation. Such a cream
is not supposed to be used just before
a sheer blouse is donned. And it is
not supposed to be used every day.
Twice a week is enough. And the
cream should be applied at night after
but no soap. The soa counteracts
the effect of the cream Rub in the
cream we'll and then dust with talcum.
Bathing next morning will not destroy
the effect of the cream. Use the cream
faithfully twice a week at night in
this way and after a week OF SO you
should not be troubled with p%erspira-
ton at all and will be able to wear
frocks and blouses without shields.
If the cream is used just before dress
ing in a pretty frock, it may leave
grease marks on the frock; neither is
the creanl SO e%ficacious just after US
ing as it is some hours afterward.

slanting upward and backward. Some
slippers have black wings, others
have blue or brown or silver or red
wings. The skirt must be rather
short to give the proper effect of light
ness and daintiness; too long a skirt
would make the winged footwear
rather clumsy.
Despite these gay and frivolous
fashions. however. the conservative
woman sticks to what she considers
proper and desirable as footwear. She
is not greatly influenced. even, by the
craze for ~ribbon-tied French slippers
that is sweeping the country at the
moment. She will have none Of the

of pinning a deep pink rose on her

Conserving Several Costumes In One Not
Forgetting An Evening trock.

~HE woman who expects to pay
many weekend visits during the
summer has special dress prob
~ lens to work out. Weekend
Clothes are not summer hotel clothes
and they are not town clothes. They
must fill as many needs as possible
and at the same time take up as little
space as possible in the small trunk
possessor on her brief outing.
If you are going to pay a number
of short visits over Saturday and Sun
day. it will pay you to invest in a
weekend "boX"-as the English wom-
an calls her small trunk that may be
carried in a cab or taxi Some women
prefer a small steamer trunk, others
rely on the trusty suitcase, which now
comes in very smart style-made of
shiny black leather with double brass
locks and with a shallow tray inside.
Other women use square hatboxes.
also covered with black vanished
leather and provided with brass lock
and trimmings. These may be sent
by express and there is a good deal of
space inside. even when a picture hat
is pinned in place. 1t is not consid-
cred good form, you know, to arrive
at your destination loaded down with
a heavy travelling bag. The proper
thing is to send On a small box" or
trunk in advance and make your ap-
p~earance as though you had just come
to- call-with nothing In your hands
but a small dressing case or over
night bag. .
Few Clothes But Those Must Count
One can make a weekend visit in
winter with nothing but an overnight
bag containing a nicely folded chiffon
dinner gown and ones nightie; but in
summer it is different. Half the time
will be spent out of doors. so there
must be an adequate sport outfit In
addition to evening regalia and a cos
tune for the possible formal after
noon affair. If our hostess has
planned a garden party for Saturday

tailored. travelling suit and something
for evening wear. All dress con

sheathlike buttoned street boots. along
with cobwebby silk hose have not
been enough to attract attention to
feet. Now there must be also foot
ornaments; and the greatest of these.
at the moment, is the feather anklet.
Oddly enough these feather affairs
girdling the ankle do not have a
clumsy appearance. ON the contrary
they make ankles look all the slim
mer and daintier. This is because
ankles are daintily and trim
ly clad and skirts are short enough to
show the lines of the leg above the
ankle. the rather bulky feather anklet
only emphasizing the trimness Of the
slender ankle it adorns. You will OBJ
serve this effect in the two illustra-
tions, one showing an anklet of feath-
err fringes and the other an anklet of
ribbon with ostrich tufts. The idea
is really very fetching and coquettish
and not at all unpleasing-if milady
must have something new and
piquant in the way Of foot-dressing.
The anklet with ostrich tufts Is
canary yellow IN color and is worn
with q dance frock of black silk net
and jet. The silk stockings are black.
and also the dancing slippers Of satin,
with small rhinestone buckles. The
canary yellow feather anklet Is the
only spot Of color in the black cos
tune and Is. Of course, a touch Of
coquetry pure and simple-one Of
those fashion touches which make no
possible claim Of utility but are sim
ply and. solely to attract attention.
Earrings come in the same class. so
do corsage bouquets. 80 do all kinds
of silk and bead embroidery and other
trimming. Therefore the feather
anklet has as much reason for being
as any other decorative but not useful
adjunct of costume.
The other anklet is Of cerise ostrich

what entertainment you are to expect.
And no hostess will-if the visit is to
be at a large country house where
guests are expected to be provided
with plenty of clothes for any sort of
entertainment. You will be invited for
a certain length of time and ONE
thing will be said about meeting your
train-and that is, all. The clothes
problem you must worry out by your
self.
Certain things it is always safe to
provide. For n thing you must have
a warm wrap: motoring will surely be
one of the diversions. This wrap you
can carry or wear on the journey.
And it is usually better to select for
the journey a smart afternoon frock
that can be covered with the wrap.
than a tailored suit which will be Of
little use during the visit itself. A
weekend journey is never very long
and a smart frock will not be harmed
by the brief trip. An elaborate hat
and parasol and dainty footwear will
make the frock suitable for any for
NAL afternoon affair during the visit.
Hats are usually the. hardest problem
to meet. for several will probably be
required. A large picture hat can
usually be packed in the tray of the
weekend trunk and a crushable sport
hat is a good thing to have. 1t may
be of flexible straw, of shirred silk or
Of ratine. A sailor is the most diff
cult thing to pack. but perhaps the
sailor can be worn with the travelling
costume.
Careful Selection or Footwear
Shoes are another problem when a
small trunk or suitcase is to be
packed. There must be dancing Slip
pers for the evening costume. sport
shoes. perhaps tennis and bathing
shoes. With the travelling coat or
suit formal footwear can be worn,
high heeled buttoned boots with light
! cloth tops will be suitable and correct
both with this costume and with an
elaborate afternoon costume of silk
or similar material. Stockings are
the easiest things in the world to pack
so there will be no trouble about
tucking in several kinds-silk ones
for dancing and bathing and ribbed
wooden ones for golf. Is we'll as stock
ings to match the negligee.

the sort Of little frock for a summer
afternoon when one must be a bit
more dressed UP than for an outdoor
sport occasion. It is made of checked
wolfe in rose and white and has two
apron panels; n straight and Dor
dered with hlet lace. the other mach
inc pleated and tucked across the
front. But the really interesting fea-
ture is the series of turned back tabs
that edge the skirt drapery at either
side. These tabs are of white ribbon
bound with pink ribbon, and the same
pink ribbon edges the shawl collar,
the cuffs and the crush girdle. Hat
and parasol are French blue-a
charming combination with the rose
pink tone Of the frock.
Like the weekend ,negligee, the
weekend evening frock must be a
very special affair. It must be not
too formal for a dinner and yet a
credit to ones hostess If a large dance
is part Of her entertainment. An eve-
ming frock Of some soft. easily packed
! material is best-a material that can
be freshened and pressed several
times during the season. for the week
end dance frock does a good deal of
travelling in confined space. The din
~ner-dance frock pictured is an excel
lent model. 1t is made of very Soft
satin in apple green tint draped with
delicate white lace. Silver and blush
pink roses of metallic tissue are
caught against the pale green satin
sash, and silver slippers are worn with
flesh tinted silk stockings. Over this

down the front is a length of narrow
silver ribbon with tiny orchid flowers
sewed on at intervals. Flesh pink silk

beautiful negligee.
Sport Toys There Must Be
Whether you are a golf player or a
tennis expert or not. you must have
smart sport toys for the weekend Wis
tiff only to YEA at the country
club, or watching somebody else play
tennis. A good sport costume for
mountain or shore is pictured: the
skirt Of checked brown and cream
wool. the sweater of brown silk and
the blouse of handkerchief linen with
1uted frills. A cravat of strawberry
red silk adds a bright color touch
and the hat has a scarf of cream.
brown and red Oriental silk. The
sport costume is accompanied by tan
calf oxfords and brown ribbed wool
stockings.
For the girl who expects to enjoy
a swim during her weekend stay is
the modern yet pleasingly modest
bathing suit of navy blue taffeta and
white satin. The" white panel down
the front is a new idea and the skirt
is oddly made. Strips of the blue
taffeta. faced with white satin are
stitched together so that the edges of
each strip stand out like little car
