THE PLATINUM SHOULDER
STRAP

Another serious question OF the
day is the management OF the
shoulder strap. The bateau neck
lines continues. therefore the
nuisance Of the exposed shoulder
strap continues.
Certain French women exploited
at Deauville, the French watering
place, a new invention of a Jewell
er. 1t was a pair of fine, platinum
chains. One went over each shoul-
der and held the undershirt or
chemise. If this bit of jewelry
was exposed by the oblong opening
of the frock, who cared? Every
one rejoined. 1t was a pretty bit
of finery, fantastic idea. well re-
ceived.
The French who could not az
ford platinum chains used shoul-
der straps 10 match their gowns.
As black has been the universal
color they needed small variety in
the shoulder straps.
The one possible kind of strap
is satin ribbon or elastic. Hun
dreds of women continue TO sit in
public places. looking as though
they thought themselves perfectly
turned out while the white ribbons
of their undershirt and the pink
ribbons of their brassiere, rose and
fell and looped over the bare skin.
One wants TO throw a shawl over
such women to hide their made
quate interior arrangement of ap-
parel.

well-bred men never make the
mistake of staying too late. But
this would hardly be true. Some
young men seem to be seized with
a sort of paralysis when ii comes
to going. They don't know what
to say and they stand after they
have risen TO go more because Of
actual stage fright than because
of any pleasure they derive from
remaining. There undoubtedly is
an air of social experience and
what we sometimes call polish"
of manners about the young man
who rises to go and then goes
quickly and with real grace.
Fifteen or twenty minutes is
agreed upon as the extent to
which a formal call should be ex-
tended. There is an unwritten
ruling that young man should
not call on a young woman TO

when young man considers him

Wooden or cotton stuffed quilts

Every self-respecting housewife of
the old school felt il her duty
either to make the comforters for

frames were in the equipment OF
every house. They we're usually
set up once or twice a year and
then great was the business that
centered round them.
How They Used To DO It.
Sometimes one or two sewing
women were called in 20 assist
with the comforter tying and
quilting and fortunate was the
seamBtress on such occasions who
had long arms. The custom. was
to rip up comforters every year or
so. Then the outside was washed
and the cotton pulled apart and
lightened. If It was old Il was
sometimes discarded altogether,
but more often Il was used with a
reinforcement OF new cotton.
