We not only use cushions be
hind our backs in our deep chairs,
and on our diyans. but we have
big floor cushions in our boudoirs
and drawing rooms, big cushions
10 sit on. They are decidedly
graceful, these floor cushions,
though few years ago we should
have dubbed them mid-Victorian
instead of Roman just because
they are usually rather ornate as
to detail. They are frequently
covered in black satin, sometimes
in deep maroon or mulberry
velour, and they are almost always
touched with bit OF gold lace,
some tassels or bunch OF flow
ers. Sometimes, too, they arc
deliberately puffed and ru1ied.
Some of them are stuffed soIidly
into high shapes, some of them
are soft and fuzzy. All OF them
are temptlngly comfortable.
In the sketch some of the typical
shapes are shown. There is. al

rSHERE was n time when there
was a strong prejudice on the
- part OF almost every one
who could afford TO indulge in
such prejudices against carrying
bundles. especially newspaper
bundles. Little girls used TO be
told by very proper ladies who set
themselves up as models or
decorum that there were three
things no perfect lady" ever did.
Sometimes these were the things
--t to look I'm u barber shop win
dow, TO walk in a city street with
out gloves. or TO carry a news
paper bundle. Sometimes the list
varied. but almost always there
was that little warning about the
bundle.
How times change our ideas of
perfect ladies', or rather how
few of us nowadays really want TO
/ be that creature that used to be
called a perfect lady. And since
the war we all carry bundles now
and then.
If there Is any new code of man
ners concerning this new fad for
carrying bundles it is this: Garry

or bag and be business-like in

| For any formal dinner or luncheon
nuts are not served IN the she'll. If
they arc served at all. they are usu-
ally salted and placed either i'm in
dividual nut dishes at each place.
or they are passed with the salad
course or with tho dessert, and are
taken by means of spoon on the
individual plate and eaten with the
! fingers. At afternoon teas. and
other times when light refreshments
are served, nuts are sometimes
passed. They should always be
taken from the dish with a spoon
and eaten with the fingers.
For an informal dinner, nuts and
raisins, or nuts alone, are frequent
ly served for the entire dessert
course. Such dessert is hearty lr
itself and since food thrift is now
