No business can be transacted as
satisfactorily at long range as 1t can
when the two parties to the transac-
ton meet face to face. The only ex-
ception to this rule is in the case of
the mail order man himself who can
transact his business with greater sue
cess to himself at long distance than
he could if he had to meet his Gus
toners face to face. That Is the reason
that he does business by mail instead
of selling to the people in his own
city. If the goods which the mail or
der man adyertises in his alluring cat
alogues were the bargains that he rep
resents them to be. he would not have
to go outside of he confines of his
own city to sell all the goods he could
possibly obtain. But the average mall
order house not only does not make
any effort to sell goods In its own city,
but will not sell TO anyone residing
within the city limits. The mail order
man does not want TO meet his Gus
toners face to face. He can do busi-
ness better so far as he is concerned if
his customer is some hundreds of miles
away from his office.
Does Business in Open.
The man who sells goods over the
counter, on the other hand, does bust
ness In the open. He cannot hide be-
hind corporate name or talk to dis
pleased customer from behind the
locked doors of private office. He
knows that he must face the music in
case he is a party to any transaction
that won't stand the light of day. He
knows that he must satisfy every Gus
toner with whom ne may be dealing
or he will lose not only that customer
but probably others who will soon
know all the facts if he does not do the
square thing by any one of his
| patrons.
There is no reason in the world for
any person to send his money to a
mail order house because he cannot
find the article he wants In his local
/ store. The local merchant is In bust.
ness for the very purpose of getting
you what you want. He has the infor.
nation that viii enable him to get
/ what you want and to get it as quick
ly as you could get it from a mail or
der house. 1t is only fair to him te
give him the chance to make such
! profit as any dealer would make off the
transaction and it is only fair to your.
self to keep that profit at home rather
than to send it away to some far dis
tant city from which it Will never re
turn.

women Of fashion these ensemble CO.'S
tunes are Of special appeal, for skirt
and tunlc which may be worn together
or in other combination at will, Is In
deed happy possession.
The vogue for gay prints is most OPP
porGune when 1t comes to designing
tunic ensembles. These Enthusiastically
patterned materials, especially printed
crcpes, make up handsomely with
plain silks or satins, using the latter
for the skirt or costume slip over which
Is posed the below-the-knee length
blouse. The sOlid-colored fabric also
serves as trimming in manner such as
the picture herewith defines.
If one so desires, costume slips with
plated flares may be bought separate
ly, and for the home dressmaker this
simplif1es the making Of these two
piece costumes. Furthermore, it is an
incentive to own number Of slips,
thus varying color effects and general
effect.
The model illustrated features an
interesting idea, that of trimming the
underarm seam. One Of fashions di-

The fact that there Is a contrasting

children's frocks, but for those of

Fashion Suggestions
That MAY Prove Useful

Recently there have appeared one
or two extremely smart coats made or
heavy black satin lined with natural
kasha and trimmed with light furs.
These are perhaps forerunners of the
new spring fashions.
One way to tell whether frock is
new or whether its origin was few
months back Is to look at the lower
part of the skirt If 1t flares slightly
or has a founce, one Is safe IN decid-
ing that it Is in the latest mode. The
f1ounce may be circular or may be only
suggested by a skillful arrangement
of godet plaits, or, as In many cases,
it may be plated, but in all cases
it serves to break what would other
wise be an absoiuteiy straight up-and-
down line.
A number of charming frocks have
been brought out. While primarily de-
signed for southern resort wear, never
theless they offer many suggestions
TO the woman who is looking ahead
somewhat and already In her minds
eve yisualizing her spring and sum-
mer wardrobe.
Remarkably stunaing are coats of
white homespun lined with bril-
liant color which repeats the tone Of
the trimming on the frock. Others Of
kasha flannel are in pastel shades 6f
rose, blue, yellow and green. And in
the more brilliant or darker shades
these new coats are an excellent choice
for immediate wear.

main in favor The square-crowned
mode which was to be the successor
of the cloche has not been altogether
successful. Another mode has been
introduced in London, which, like most
new things is borrowed from the past.
1t fits the head snugly, and may be
likened to the fools cap, although 9TH
er varieties suggest the witch's peak,
the crusaders helmet, and the fisher
mans cap. The crown Is soft, being
neither stiffened nor lined; it is some
times supported on firm brim OF
panne or velvet, a neat rolled brim,
and the conical crown may be ADJUST
ed in any way to suit the wearer-
In some of the new models carried
out in dark velvet and silks the FOOLS
cap shape is exaggerated to assume
the outline of the traditional witch's
hat. These are cut higher in the
crown and finished with gallon of gold
and silver cord instead Of the usual
brim.

Lace Sure to Be
Summer Favorite
Decoration Seen as One of
Most Important Items
of New Season.

Judging from the new dresses of
fered very early, and which are really
harbingers Of summer fashions-laces
promise to be one Of the most i'm
portant items of the 1925 season.
Transparent effects are OF para
mount Importance, and laces lend
themselves to this effect more easily
than do most fabrics. Not only laces,
but eyelet embroideries, even for for
NAL costumes, show indications OF &C.
ceptance as a favored medium for the
new transparencies.
Elaboration for spring very often
expresses itself In terms of various
skirt arrangements, and here, again
gOdets and flares of lace accomplish
the two purposes of skirt fullness and
transparency
There are entire dresses made OF
silk and chantilly lace, and lace with
both printed chiffons and plain fab
RIGS is worked skillfully into the fab
ric. Colored lace matching the domi-
nant color Of the print presents an IN
usual combination.
The vogue of lace has authoritative
endorsement from such couture houses
as Chanel, Drecoll, Patou, Agnes, Cy-
Der, Callot, Cheruit, and Philippe ct
CASTOR. These sponsor lace treat
ments principally for afternoon and
semiformal wear.
Chanel, for instance, uses yellow
silk lace with printed fabric, and
Cheruit borders a black chantilly
gown with deep white chiffon borders.

CHOOSING BEDDING
QUITE IMPORTANT
Pride of Careful Housekeep-
er and Is Essential.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Good bedding is not only the pride
of all careful housekeepers, but an eS-
sential part of comfortable bed. Il
should include, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, a light
weight mattress pad, sheets, pillow
cases, blankets, comfortable and
simple, washable spread.
A washable mattress pad, which
may be bought ready-made, or made
at home of muslin and cotton bat
ting, not only protects the mattress,
but improves the smoothness of the
bed under the lower sheet. An old
light-colored quilt or cotton blanket
may be used for the purpose.
The quality Of the sheets and pillow
cases depends on the amount one
wishes to invest In them. Consider
ing only the materials and time used,
ready-made sheets and pillowcases are
often more economical than those
made at home, but the latter have the
great advantage Of being made to ut
a particular bed. Both sheeting and
pillowcasing come in various widths,
form SO that no side seam Is needed.
Sheets should be from "a to 36 inches
wider and longer than the mattress,
so that the ends and sides can be gen
erously tucked In and the top OF the
upper sheet turned down to keep the
hov, of fhn fnY
Of the sheet should be at least PA
inches, and at the bottom from " to
inch. Machine hemstitching makes
pretty finish for the pillowcases and
the wider hem Of q sheet, and In many
communities is done for small charge
per yard.
Blankets containing a large proper
ton of good quality wool which has
been heavily mapped are generally con-
sidered more comfortable and also
most satisfactory If given the proper
care. Many reliable manufacturers
state the percentage Of wool on the
card attached to the blanket. Cotton
blankets are now made so that when
new they are as warm as wool, and
they are much less expensive. They
tend, however, to become matted with
wear and washing, which renders them
less warm. Many power laundries can
made them fluffy again, but this wears
out the foundation fabric. Blankets
without colored borders generally keep
thsir shape better than those with
them. and also there Is no risk OF
color fading or running, but If one
likes the touch Of color, 1t is best to
make sure that the border is of the
same quality Of wool as the rest OF
the blanket.
Comfortables are frequently needed
during very cold weather. Both cot
ton and wool batting are used as the
filing In comfortables, and though
more expensive than cotton, wool is
warmer In proportion to the weight,
and easier to clean. Either kind Of
comfortable may be bought covered
with cheesecloth ready for the outer
cover of any pretty lightweight mate
rial. Comfortables may also be bought
ready-made.

or hand, or If caught between sheets
In beds, they might bite in self-defense,
as would almost any other insect.
The few cases on record where this
has happened indicate that severe
swelling and pain may result from the
poison injected. Prompt dressing OF
the wound with ammonia Is recon-
mended.
Were 1t not for its unpleasant ap-
pearance and the rather poisonous ma
ture of its bite, the house centipede
might be looked on as an aid In keep
ing other pests in check. To control
it, all individuals that are seen should
be destroyed. All moist places where
centipedes would naturally hide should
be frequently inspected and busted
freely with fresh pyrethrum powder.

Felt, Silk and Straw to
Be Used In Spring Hats

There are rumors that felt and SILK
and silk and straw are to play an
important role in millinery fashions
for the late spring. Pastel shades
are favorites and for trimming inter
esting fantasies and flower clusters
are used.
Here and there large hat is seen,
but one may safely say that for chic
nothing quite takes the place OF the
small, rather close hat.
There are some women who can
wear large hat to perfection and
who seem to know how to make II
an Integral part of their ensemble,
but the vast majority put on hat OF
considerable size so that one thinks
only of the hat and not Of the wearer.
This perhaps Is the reason that for
the past three seasons the small hat
has reigned supreme 1t Is more
generally becoming because it is not
so obvious, and it's very lack of orna-
mentation gives 1t an air of distinc-
ton not appreciated by the deliberately
trimmed headgear of decade ago.
Although it remains small in shape,
the hat OF the moment changes from
month to month. Early in the sea-
son the high square crown displaced
the bowler crown of the long popu-
lar cloche, this in turn was supplanted
hy the high-peaked crown, and now
comes crown equally high, but
dented and twisted to suit each In

curving downward have taken an up
ward tilt and add a certain piquancy
