Reraniums, golden rod, zinnias, etc., that are not commonly thought of as flowers to wear. Any flower that does not wilt quickly is a wearable flower. Take the zinnta or dahlia, for example. They are flat and circular in shape. They are brilliant in coloring. Tn the zinnias one finds shades of red and orange. These are delightful for a single spot of color when worn with linen frocks, or for a boutonniere on ones suit The dahlia, with its rich reds and purples, is perfectly gorgeous with white dress, as is a red or salmon-colored geranium.
 You see, not all of us can drop into the florists shop and lightly choose a blossom or two with which to adorn ourselves. So we must find some other way of getting our flowers. Making use of the flowers in the garden allows one to have ones fresh posies and still not go broke. Also by wearing flowers not generally worn one adds an original touch.

It's lines forbid the wearing of cor sages, so wear a zinnia, dahlia, gardenia (when I'm extra special flush and feel extravagant) or a geranium on the lapel. This gives a spot of brilliant color that lights up the whole dress and, yet the flower in no way interferes with its lines.

Pairing Onions

No need to "cry" about pairing an onion if you would follow the advice of a woman who has solved the problem. Immerse the onion in a pan of cold water and pare it beneath the surface of the water. When the strong onion odor is exuded, the water win hold 1t so that the eyes are unaffected.
 Another suggestion in pairing onions is to cut circle at top and bottom of the round vegetable. then proceed to draw off the skis in circular parings. The bulk of the onion will not be cut if this method is followed, and the strong odor will therefore be kept within

 ''My dearest child" he replied, holding her closer to him. Haven't . I told you again and again that you haven't stolen anything? I thought had made it quite clear that no love existed in my home. Then how could you or any other woman steal something which never was. I'm speaking of my wife's regard of me, as well. l know she merely tolerates me-"

 'I should think" Kitty unused, after a moment, when she relaxed again from the pose she had taken for him, "that your wife would be glad to divorce you. If she really does not love you, dear, don't you suppose she'd be willing to give you up to some one who adored .you-really?"
 q tried to reason that with the lady a long while ago. I have gone so far as to attempt to arrange a financial settlement. But she claims she could not stand the unkind criticism of her friends. And people do talk, you know, par ticularly when they know none of Fthe intimate details.

 "Then I'll go with you, Pres. I mean it. I've been debating too long. I wanted to make sure of my love. And I think I've found the answer deep in my own heart. You asked me to be careful to know the depth of my love of you before we took this dangerous plunge. You've tried to make me change my mind, for my own sake. Nom will never forgive me. Sheridan's advice means nothing. I'm going to give up everything-everything flor you!"
 Preston let the brush slip from his fingers and suddenly he found himself standing before the beauti- full creature on thes platform. He seemed stunned by her words, un- able to make his gesture adequate to the glory of this wondrous mo- ment. He stood there a few mo- ments, gazing helplessly into her eyes. Then he dropped to his knee and kissed again and again the palms of her outstretched hands with a madness of devotion.
 My wonderful sweetheart" he murmured, you do really love me. And I shall always try to be worthy. of this great moment. Only since I've loved you, dear, have ex- perienced the bitter sweetness of true love. That is why I know there can be no other solution"
 She stepped down and lifted his head in her hands, kissing him gently on the brow.
 "In a week." he said, after a moment. "In week we shall go. We must both straighten out our affairs within that time. All doubt has passed. We know-we know now nothing else matters. We must fulfill our dream of happi- ness."

Green for the Bath Room

D LUZ and white have been the h traditional decorations for the @ bath. Some time ago dec orators tried the use of yellow and white with success. And now we have the bath which is done in green.
 The effect of green walls, green and white tiles and crisp green gingham curtains on the window is, very refreshing in the bathroom especially during Summer weather. Choose your shade of green as near like the natural color of water as possible. When a bathtub of water Is drawn, you will be pleasantly surprised by the refresh ing effect of the natural and arti- fcial color combination. The water will reflect the green walls and take on a more vivid hue.
 If transparent window curtains are desired, pale green organdie can be used in place of the ging- ham. A two-tone green bath rug will complete the decorative scheme of an attractive bathroom done in green.

Day Alter Sunbttrn

E OLLOWING a trip to the sea l shore one should take pre- cautions that a "day-after" sun burn does not develop.
 One of the best methods is to cover the affected parts with a thin layer of cold cream. This should be applied after exposure, but never during the period of ex- posture to the sunshine. Allow the pure cold cream to melt and be absorbed partly by the skin. Then dust over a light coating of talcum. This application will help cool the skin by drawing out the heat.

HEAR MRS. WILSON:
 O What is the best color for window shades? I have always used white, but my daughter tells me they are no longer stylish. Will you please advise?
 MRS. F. B. C.
 White window shades are always in good taste. Lightly tinted shades, however, afford a softer light. Light tan, buff or cream are not only in good taste, but filter the sunlight to delightful mellow ness. For the bedrooms, I suggest dark green or dark blue to keep light out of the eyes during the very early morning hours. You can hang two sets of shades in the bed room and your lighter shades may be used during the daylight hours. NEAR MRS. WILSON:

 Why not remove your deep berthe collar and, if 1t is of the same ma terial as the frock, 1t can be set at the back as a short shoulder cape collar. In any event, remove the berthe collar and substitute one of the new and stylish silk ties. Buttonholes can be cut around the neckline, the silk tie run through these and looped into two gra eful streamers at front. Finish the but tonholes with silk floss the same color as the frock.
 HEAR MRS. WILSON:
 O have a blue taffeta frock which is not worn, but the sleeves are tight. Can you please suggest a way of making it over?
 M. A. Y.
 Remove the sleeves and substitute new sleeves of georgette or chiffon. Do not attempt to match the taffeta, as the contrast between the new EFscuous. A figured georgette with a blue background would be very att tractive. Small bell sleeves are in good style, or you can have short, close-fitting sleeves, or the ones which are full and reach to the wrist. Make the cuffs of taffeta which can be cut from the old sleeves.
