SAVING THE

An Acknowledged Authority on
All Matters Pertaining to
Household Management
HoUSEWoRK is hard enough
= 4 on tho hands Of the woman
who does her own work and is
also socially active, without the
soft coal nuisance making the
problem of presentable hands still
more difficult.
Eternal vigilence in scrubbing
Is the only way one can keep up
with the increasing black CRIME
that invades every part of the
Eouse-curtains. carpets. window
stills. woodwork and doors, par
ticularly around door knobs. And
this eternal. grubbing in the CRIME
is hard on feminine hands.
The first precaution is to use
a good soap, the better the soap
the less wear and tear on the
household furnishings and paint
IS well as on the hands.
The next is to adopt the prac-
rice Of wearing rubber gloves.
After breakfast rub the hands
and nails with the favorite cold
cream don rubber gloves and slip
q moderately tight rubber band
around each wrist to prevent
water from running into gloves.
Thus protected. do the breakfast

are thoroughly rinsed with very
lot water they will require no
d"ying.
Before removing the gloves
carry out any scrubbing, other
wet work or metal cleaning which
has been planned for the day. The
warmth of the water will have
the effect OF opening the skin
pores of the hands, and much Of
:he cold cream will have been alb
sorbed.
When the rubber gloves are
.emoved replace them with pair
of loose. white canvas while the
necessary sweeping and busting
are in progress. If this work Is
done barehanded dirt will collect
IN the greasy cream with which
your skin is filled and ugly CRIME
will form around and under. the
nails.
With the mornings work out
of, the way wash the hands well
with soap and water, scrub with
small brush to remove tho oil
around each nail and take the
few minutes needed for manicuring
while the skin is still soft. An
application OF lemon juice will re-
move mos stains from the skin
AS grease hastens the deteriorl-
lion of rubber goods, the gloves
should be we'll washed. inside and
out. at the time the hands are
washed.

NECKING the gown has be-
IN come most important part
OF the busy life Of French dress
maker. For this season, the
necking has many new turns and
fancies and is quite the prominent
part of any frock.
The gown is no longer Just cut
out for the head to slip through
and bound off in a simple man
ner. There is something added
to make II dainty and decorative.
Chaste, tiny, outstanding collars
are to be seen on many daytime
models and the Peter Pan type
of collar persists In ono beautiful
creation after another. Usually
they are made from fine bits of
linen or -organdie, hemstitched or
lace.edged with cuffs to match.
A feminine Interpretation OF a
mannish tic appears in collabora-
ton with the close-to-the-throat
rounded collar; again it takes the
form of an old-fashioned jabot
frill which hangs down the front
in varying lengths. Some Of the
collars have an impish way Of
coming up high under the chin
and standing out wide under the
face. Scarf-collars appear on
many daytime frocks and often
there is shawl effect given by
small-siZed kerchief In silk.
Crossing high collars appear ON
some daytime coats and Patou
has brought out the old-time pique
stock-tie to wear with tailleurs.
The Chantal neckline is circular
and quite close to the neck, where
it is emphasized by a narrow
band of white which stands up
just the slightest bit. 1t is very
becoming to young people with
slender neckS and maturer women
will be wise to adopt the long v
opening which is to be seen on a
number OF frocks.
Even the evening gown in
many instances has its collar in
the form Of scarf, which is
attached to the frock and knot
ted under one ear.
Decolletes vary, some being
quite high at the back with
deep rounded or pointed throat,
others are equally deep and
rounded both front and back.
Still others are close to the neck
line in front and very deep in
the back and. then it is very
fashionable to wear many strings
of pearls hanging down.
