A PRETTY SPRINGTIME SHOW.
Err FOR THE BRIDE-ELECT

April and May are the two
prettiest months of the year in
which to give shower for the
bride-to-be. I am going to de-
scribe shower-idea which I
have originated at the request of
two Reader Friends:
The bride-elect is asked TO
run over with her sewing" to a
friends house. When she arrives,
to her surprise, she finds all her
other girl friends gathered there!
The room is decorated with
baskets and large vases apparent
~ filled only with flowers-but
when the bride-elect is asked to
lift the flowers out Of the bas-
kets to send them to the hospital"
she finds beneath the stem not
water, but MISUNDERSTANDING
packages done up in tissue paper
These, she finds. when asked to
open them, contain pretty gifts
for her new home.
Refreshments follow in the din
ing room. where the table is found
decorated with tulips, jonquils, or
any other large spring flower
(real or artificiaD. These flow
ers stand in vase in the middle
of the table, and attached to the
stem of each one is q slip of pa
per bearing a small number. The
menu consists of:
Chilled Grapefruit
Chocolate Cream Sandwiches
Waldorf Salad
Ice Cream Coffee
Cup Cakes
Serve the grapefruit in the
shape of baskets-that is, with the
upper half followed out and a
handle cut in the skin, SO that
this little handle arches over the
solid half-grapefruit of the lower
half. TO make the Chocolate
Cream Sandwiches, spread thin,
crustless slices of graham or en-
tire wheat bread with butter, then
cover the butter thinly with choc-
olate cream candies which you
have melted (till soft enough to
spread) in the top of a double
boiler. The cup cakes have white
icings with the bride and groom's
initials written upon them in yell
low icing (to make the yellow
icing, simply blk the uncooked
yolk Of an egg with little white
icing.) After the refreshments

Fancy gloves are the newest
offerings for spring. Gloves are
one of the most important Access
series in milady's wardrobe and
this year she must have them to
harm0nize with every outfit. Silk
gloves are being shown this sea-
son in gauntlet styles, short wrist,
long wrist, elbow length and
fancy cuff effects. Trimmings of
embroidery, tucks, two-toned eff
fects, colored pipings and faclngs
are few of the ways in which
the new silk gloves are made gay.
Tucked cuffs are the most pop
ular form of trimming. This pair
Of white silk gloves have tucked
cuffs stitched with back. Black
and white embroidery trim the
backs of the gloves and the most
unusual feature is the opening at
the side of the wrist instead of
underneath. Large black silk but
tons mark the fastening.
This same style comes in other
color combinations such as blue
and white, brown and tan, tan
and brown ana black with white
trimming.

BEAUTY CHATS
FACIAL AsTRINGENTs.
By Edna Kent Forbes,

The other day l gave a formula
for the astringent lotion which
the great Sarah Bernhardt is sup
posed to use. 1t is made by COM
binlng
GO grains of alum,
IL ounces OF almond milk,
ounces OF rosewater.
The alum is the astringent part.
1t should certainly draw up tho
sagging muscles of the skin. Used
by itself of course alum is much
too strong and too drying, there
fore it is combined with almond
milk, which is nourishing and a
little bleaching, and with rose
water which simply acts as a
convenient base. This Is so easy
to make that every woman can
have some if she wants.
The great standard astingent is
tincture of benzoin. A little OF
the tincture may be added to the
cold water in which the face is
rinsed, enough so that the water
takes on a milky shade. Or IL
may be mixed with rosewater and
the. milky solution kept in a bot
tie on the bathroom shelf to be
patted into the skin after the face
has been washed and dried.
Another excellent astringent and
bleach is starch and water. have

hot sun. She was supposed to be
protected by wide sun bonnets, bat
whenever it was known that she
threw off her sun bonnet her skin
when she came home-was
coated with white starch and cold
water. 1t was to this treatment,
she says, that she owes her lovely
