Lace Hats Are Smart

Y ACE has been borrowed by
 millinery designers from the
 afternoon and evening frocks of the season. Now the sheer pat termed fabric is made into charm ing hats to wear at the Nah Jongg or bridge party. Evening hats for restaurant wear are also shown with lace as their trimming. And many of these hats are fashioned of all-over lace.
 One lovely model recently noted at a Nah Jongg fete boasted a crown of fine henna-colored milan. The brim of the hat was made of cocoa color lace stretched over sup ports of fine silk wire. Directoire in effect, the back of the brim f1ared upward and gradually sloped toward the sides with a line of colorful posies.
 Black lace is very popular in mil linery. It is made, for example, into lovely little afternoon bon net, reminiscent of the cloche, with 8 snug crown of black satin; brim covered in black satin with bands of silver ribbon stitched in con centric rows on the under side. A length of black Spanish lace, wide enough to allow the scalloped edge to form a short veil, is draped over the crown and tied at one side. The lace floats off into

Frocks for the
 Children

A MONO the style creations for "A Spring the very little girl has not been forgotten. There is a delightful array of cunning frocks for her special proportions. Among them one finds the sophisticated materials of her grown-up sisters clothes, made up in frocks to suit her own miniature figure.
 Navy serge shows a tiny box jacket and pleated skirt. There is a white silk blouse tailored like mothers but showing a row of small pearl buttons down the front. For practical wear, this style is ex- cellent for the child as the jacket may be removed when the thermometer makes it's wearing a discomfort. The blouse may also be readily rubbed.
 Any number of clever frocks are made up of challis. It. comes now in plaids and stripes as we'll as in those delightful flower pat terms we first knew. With the ad- dition of colored ribbons, a lace yoke and pleatings of the challis material, a clever and becoming frock may be designed.
 China silk is to play an im- portant part in the juvenile styles this year. It is such a cool ma terial and can be laundered so readily that mothers are accepting it gladly for their children's clothes. Bloomer suits of pantal- cites and over-frock are developed of this sheer fabric. One finds plenty of the dressier models for party wear in che smart shops which cater to the needs of the very little miss.

The Dangerous Lip-Stick

dust from the lip-stick is a mat ter of personal cleanliness. Keep the cap on your lip-stick when not in use. Do not apply the stick to your lips until you have washed the dust from your mouth. The lip stick should never be applied in public places where dust, is flying about, aside from the fact that the habit, is socially taboo, The end of your clean handkerchief can be dipped in clear water and the dust removed from the lips before the stick is applied.
 Finally, do not use your lip-stick at all if you have an abrasion of any kind on your lips. Better sacrifice a little beauty in the name of safety and wait until that cold sore or chapped place has disap- peared. t

"We have sent for you to ask that you give up your ridiculous plan to marry Roger"
 our boy you could not have per lnitted that horrid Arab to kiss you"
 Doris sprang to her feet and her eyes flashed angrily.
 'I cannot let you say that, Mrs: Sinclair" she cried. "It's a lie" :"
 "You mean that Ali Inan did not kiss you the day you visited his studio? Are you attempting to deny it?"
 "He did kiss me" Doris acknowl- edged. "But it was against my wishes. I'd never have gone to that place if the information l sought had not meant so much to Roger"
 Nita Livingston's high, jealous laugh punctuated Doris's explana- tion. Doris swung about and faced the society girl with flaming cheeks.
 'Tt's the truth" she exclaimed. "Roger knows it is the truth. l told him of the affair the following day. He understood, because he loves me-"
 Come, come," said Mrs. Sin clair, rising to go from the room. "This nonsense must stop. Either you give up our boy or MT. Sin clair will force him to beg for as- sistance. That is my ultimatum. '"
 Doris's eyes widened.
 "Thank you," she replied. "But Roger already has another position. I'm to join him tomorrow" She began to fastcn her gloves, but MT. Sinclair stayed her departure.
 "It seems to me, Myra, that we're judging this thing from one side only" volunteered MT. Sin clair,
 Mrs. Sinclair froze.
 "I've a surprise for both of you," the elderly millionaire con- tinued, little smile curling his serious lips. He drew back the curtains and Roger stood before the gathering.
 Mrs. Sinclair rushed toward him. But Roger put her off gent ly and turned to Doris, who was breathlessly amazed at his pres ence.

NTo, we are not going to preach W that the lip-stick is dangerous. And this is not a warning to gently lay away forever that colorful bit of paste which can make the lips attractively smooth and healthful in appearance.
 Recently newspapers carried the story of two girls who had died from the poisonous results of us- ing lip-stick. These girls could have succumbed to any other in- lection caused by dirt. But "un- clean" lipsticks provided the germs which set up the fatal infection.
 Each woman should be careful to select her cosmetics from recog- nized firms who guarantee their products. In this way she can be reasonably certain of their purity. Then, of course, keeping grime and

two streamers, one longer than the other.
 Dyed lace, to match the frock with which the hat is worn, is shar- ing the popularity of black lace. Cire ribbon, which appears like a polished stove-pipe, Is again in style. It is now used in colors to m.tch the lace with which it is employed. A large lace hat for restaurant wear. the crown and brim of which are both fashioned of soft lace, has band of wide ribbon around the crown and streamers of the same at one side. Cream colored lace shows a band of Chinese blue ribbon to be worn with a white frock. And there are such lovely color combinations as henna and brown, gray and coral, sea green and sand, and black with it's accompanying rib bon of black satin.

Some Kitchen Hints

FRYING fat should be hot \ enough to give off a faint blue smoke before inmsersing food to be cooked.
 Steel wool is best for cleaning rough surfaces. It is especially efficient in cleaning the bottoms of pots.
 
 Keep your kitchen sink pipes clear by flushing with hot water to which generous amount of washing soda has been added.
 A dish cloth of crocheted cord is best. This sort of cloth dries read fly and when in use retains enough soapy water to make dishwashing easy.

fixing with its use.
 Rough, dry skin re- spends to olive oil tre at m e nts with almost magical rapid ity and wondrously satisfying results. At night, just before re- tiring, is the best time for these treatments.
 First comes a good bath. The water should be warm, NEVER HOT, and it should be softened by adding a handful of borax or prepared bath salts. A stiff flesh brush should be used for cleaning the skin instead of the usual wash cloth or sponge. After drying the body thoroughly

My Secrets of Charm
By Josephine HuddIeSton
 (Famops Model.) :,

IF seem to do lot of talking about olive oil please
 bear with me- When you have expermented with it as
 much as have and found it always responsive, you' too will be inclined sing it's praises to the four winds
 Tn ancient days no woman who valued her appearance dared omit olive oil from among her toilet preparations Cleopatra the Queen of Sheba Helen of Troy, and num- other historical and legendary beauties gave it the place of honor upon their dressing tables.
 And yet it is surprising to-day to note how rarely one ends woman who understands and takes advantage of this marvellous aid to beauty.
 It can be used for many different things And 1t is so easlv handled as there preliminary messing or

 he pores drinking the oil into ths parched skin.
 If the pores have become clogged forming patches of rough. skin resembling blind pinples, olive oil will soon erase all trace of this unpleasantness, leaving the skin with the soft smoothness of fresh blown roses.
 These patches of rough skin are most frequently found around the elbows, the back of the arms and the side of the thighs. They should be treated with nightly ap- plications of the olive oil. If this is done they will disappear within a week.
 Olive oil is also an excellent eliminator of blackheads. A mas- sage with the oil seems to loosen these deadly enemies of beauty to such an ex- tent that the pores are easily relieved of their burden by simply wiping the face with a rough bath towel. This remedy is easier than the vigorous scrubbings with a stiff brush, and soap and water, that have been advocated hereto fore. The pores close up again immediately and the blackheads show a decided reticence about returning.
 The beauty of the finger nails has been determined for many years by their thinness and flaw lessness. However, these lovely, delicate nails are difficult to care for. They are usually brittle and have tendency to chip and split at the ends. But olive oil-"my cure all" call twill soon change all this. Dip the fingers in oil once or twice day and the change in their condition is miraculous. They become firmer and hardier in texture without becoming thick or loosing their delicacy in any way.
 If you are using olive oil to wash your hands in as prescribed in previous story, you have prob ably noticed this change in your nails and it will be unnecessary for you to make a special rite of ap- plying the oil to your nails. How. ever, if you haven't been using it, just dip the tips of the fingers in oil and hold them there for few minutes, two or three, and the chipping and splitting will cease.
 If you ARE still washing your hands with soap and water rub a little olive oil into them several times a day and they will never be- come rough, reddened or chapped.
 In fact, olive oil is my own spe- cial pet child and after several months experimenting all of mss cold creams have been supplanted by it. I find it so versatile. so easy to use, so clean-feeling after it has been used, and so thoroughly satisfactory that I'd love to send every one of my readers a bottle of it for Christmas. However, I don't own stock in an "olive oil well," so I shall have to rest content with the hope that I've been able to instil enough of my own enthusiasm for it into my articles SO that you will try it. When you have done this you will never forsake it for more elaborate preparations
