The Formal
Hallway
THE hallway offers the visitor q

THE hallway offers the visitor Q
i first impression of your home.
1t is sort of barometer by which
the newcomer will unconsciously
judge the personality of the home
maker.
Whether large or small the hall
way should be inviting. 1t should
be furnished in good taste, blend
ing the informal with the formal.
If the remainder of the house is
decorated in the informal atmos-
phere of cosey apartment or
small home, the hall should offer
this atmosphere with a touch of
the formal about it. That note
will make the intimate rooms more
attractive by contrast.
There are so many different
types of Railways, from the ex-
tremely small one to the Giving
hail." that it is not practical to
offer specific methods of decorat-
ing. Yet every hallway, regard
less of size, should be equipped
with the essential accessories. A
chair or bench for guests who may
have to wait. A console table
which provides a mirror by which
incoming or departing guests can
give a final survey of their appear
ance. A tray for letters should be
provided and a plate for calling
cards. An umbrella stand offers
splendid service.
When these details have been
provided, the hallway can be
dressed" to suit the remainder of
the home. Simplicity should be
the keynote of the foyer as gaudy
decorations are out of the pale Of
GOOD taste.

How Do YOU Make
Coffee?

THE finest grade of coffee will
;. not give satisfaction unless it
is correctly made. Incidentally, an
economy in the quantity of coffee
consumed can be effected by using
correct proportions and making
coffee as one of the greatest coffee
merchants directs. Here is his
recipe:
Always have water boiling be-
fore it comes in contact with the
coffee. A percolator makes the
best coffee. Use one rounded (not
heaping) tablespoonful of coffee
to cup of water. This proper
ton never varies.
Where drip coffee is preferred,
the coffee should be pulverized.
Percolated coffee is best made of
the beans ground fine. For the
old-fashioned method of using
coffee pot, into which coffee and
water is placed, the water should
be boiling and the coffee ground
medium. Cook all coffee from
six to eight minutes and serve with
warm milk, if milk is used at all.

bilities to the plainest hat A
brimned, green, Milan hat shows
q veil of darker, green with. EN-
broidered motifs throughout its
surface. These embroidered spots
match exactly the shade of the, hat
with which the veil is worn.
Flying from the back of some
of the smaller hats are seen some
lovely chiffon wells, which may
serve as trimming, as we'll as a
protection to the features when
motoring. A black hat with
snowy white chiffon veil is among
the new millinery offerings. And
one sees any number of other
lovely color combinations.

the. only safe general rule to be
applied is the. one governing the
foundation for makeup. Scrupu-
lous cleanliness is essential; and to
bring the skin into the condition
over which makeup can be sue
cessfully applied, it must be given
special treatment.
: Go over your face carefully
with "a thin layer Of cold cream.
Be certain to select cleansing
cold cream, not vanishing cream.
Allow it to remain on the. skin. UNI
til melted, then remove with. a soft
linen cloth. Always wipe the
cream with q downward stroke.
The upward is the massage stroke
and should never be used when
cleansing cream is on the face
since it runs against the pore open
ings Of the skin and will have a
tendency to enlarge them.
Many beauty authorities forbid
the use of soap and water after
the cold cream application. But
have found this fo;low-up treat
ment an excellent medium for
cleaning out the superfluous oil
which remains in the pores of the
skin after the cold cream bath.
Make a heavy lather of pure
soap and warm water. Cover the
surface of the skin with this lather
and massage it into the face with
the tips of the fingers. Do not
permit the lather to dry into the
skin, but remove it with clear,
warm water after you have thor
.oughly kneaded the muscles of the
face. 1t is very important to have
every trace of the soap removed
and to do this rinsing in luke warm
water is the best method. Dry
the skin carefully with soft towel.
Now that the skin has been
cleansed of its Crime it is ready
to be treated preparatory to us
ing makeup. The skin needs an
astrigent to close the pores. If,
this astrigent is omitted the pow
der will clog in the open pores and
cause a notified surface. The best
and simplest astrigent know is
Ice.

Doris waited breathlessly for
Mrs. Sinclair's next words.
Two large tears welled in
Doris's soft eyes as she looked up

Mrs. Sinclair had unwound her
husbands arm from her decollette
shoulder and stood regarding the
girl in an attitude of defiance.
Doris turned her wide eyes
toward Nita Livingston, who stood
beside Rogers mother, her head
flung high, her very pose silently
declaring the hostility which
eeethed in her soul.
"Come, Myra," Rogers father
said petulantly. "This is an abb

His father stepped toward him

Rexall and the Golden Rule were
doomed. The biggest damage was
done to the Rexall.
1t is supposed that the fire origi-
mated in the rear upstairs of Rexall
from electric wiring.
People who went to the dance last
night were enjoying the early morn
ing sleep when the siren woke them
up. The siren was anything but
pleasant music att hta time OF day.
And with a gale blowing, things
seemed rather serious.
The siren and the fire hose have
proved their usefulness many times.
And perhaps the people are begin
ming to see the need of additional fire
fighting equipment.
The upper floor of the Rexall
building was flooded. The ceiling of
the store this morning was dripping
water as a cloud drips rain.

The alarm was turned in at about

by teh crying of his young baby and

been destroyed, for a strong wind

the part of the volunteer firemen
were required to put out the flames.

Whatever the time of the visit may

better schools than in the community
where no parent ever steps inside the

Carpig criticism often comes from
those persons who never look in

Firsthand information is always the

herring are now running" if these
fish do actually run as do the sal
mon. At any rate there are lots of
them in the river and the season
when easily caught is during Sep

are taken in nets at falls or rapids.
Under the game laws it is necessa-
ry to secure a permit from the state
department before one catches them,
andthen the catching must be done
under supervision of a local game
warden. That is, the local warden
must accompany the fisherman.
A number of Jerome people have
made big catches of the fish, mostly
at the power plant at Lower Salmon
falls, almost due west of Jerome
Small dip nets attached to handy
poles are used. The fish seem to be
all about the same size and run in
weight from pound to a pound and
