CATION of the alleged manipulation of
crude rubber prices by the British
colonial government.
While considering the treasury ap-
preparation measure the representa-
lives found an opportunity to give old
John Barleycorn another hard jab.
Mr.. Tucker of Virginia, dry, sought
to amend the bill so as to restrict the
use of funds in the purchase of liquor
as evidence of law violation. The pro-
posed appropriation for this purpose
is $250,00O, and Mr.. fuckers amend

any person By fraud, deceit or false

The argument was long and warm. en-

CHAMOMILE TEA FOR THE
COMPLEXION

Was It chamomile tea that saved
Peter Rabbit, when he returned
home wet and miserable from Mr..
McGregor's garden. from an I'M
timely end?
This is no make believe concoc-
ton, but a real herb tea, made
from the lovely yellow chamomfle
which grows in fashioned gar
dens. 1t Is raised commercially be-
cause Of it's medicinal value, but in
the old fashioned garden it was
and is-raised both because Of it's
beauty and its health giving prop
critics.
1t should be gathered Just as the
dew dries on 1.-THE flowers are
the valuable part. They should be
dried In the shade, and then hung
away in paper bags. The tea that
Mrs. Rabbit found so helpful In
warding off her wayward sons
we'll deserved cold is made by put
ting a handful of the flowers in a
bowl, covering them with two cups
Of boiling water. covering the bowl
with a napkin, and letting it stand
for three hours. The tea should be
served very hot, just as the tired
or cold threatened one is going to
bed. It is said to be a great com
plexion beautifier.

Ne Like the Light Of Our An
cestors for Our Hours of Leisure

I Then there are lovely little shep-
herdesses and pierrettes, and Pierots
and little black boys, holding can
dies in their arms-all made Of
china and glass.
And birds with candles held on
their backs.
And snakes, with candles held on
their heads-snakes poised to strike,
and done in reddish bronze or
greenish bronze, quite snakelike In
color.
Sconces are quite as interesting
as candlesticks. and of course are
very decorative because of the fact
that they may be placed against
wall spaces needing some sort of
decoration.
There is a revival of mirrored
sconces. Rather prim and mid
Victorian they seem, to be sure,
but they are sure to give a spar
King and gay look to the room
where they are used. They are
made. some of them. with cut glass
pendants, and some of them with
interesting decorated frames about
the mirror that is fastened against
the wall
All these things give an unusual
note and a decorative one to the
rooms in which they are used.

NEW BEDSPREADS

Some housewives never ike any
sort of bedspread so we'll as the
conventional sort Of washable white
material. The question of covering
pillows is one that requires special
attention. The old type Of pillow
sham" that was stiff starched and
was then held in place over the
pillow on a wire frame that raised
m at night was an easy solution
tn the problem-easy but rather
ridiculous.
French bedspreads are PRONG
iously long, long enough to pc eA-
tended we'll over the pillows with
enough to spare to tuck under al
the top and to be laid in a little
crease at the lower edge OF the
pillows. These long spreads are
sometimes found in this country
More usual are the so-calied pos .el
covers that are made to go with
MANY bedspreads. This consists %

The Business
Woman's Home
Is Important

THE business woman Is becom =
ing more and more-not Of a
- problem, but of an element in
society that must be considered in
all matters social and economic.
More and more women have
homes of their own. Forty or fifty
years ago some women lived alone,
to be sure, but they did 1t almost
apologetically, unless they could
afford big houses with several
servants. The small village seam
stress who perhaps went on living
in the little family home after her
old mother died was an object of
pity. She was not considered hah
as normal as the spinster worker
who lived with a married brother
or sister or even a friend.
And in big cities up to a few
years ago most business women
lived in boarding houses. Then
some of them went into lodgings,
and found the freedom from prying
eyes and wagging tongues quite
delightful But they were looked on
a bit askance by their friends. And
in many lodging houses there were
hard and fast rules that no men
callers should be allowed
But now the business woman
manages her own life pretty much
as she wishes. She takes an apart
ment alone If she wants, and uses
her own good sense and good taste
as her only arbiters Of behavior.
She sometimes builds or buys or
rents a little suburban house, and
with a couple of other like minded
women makes real home of It In
New York there Is at least one CO.
operative business women's group
which is buying the apartment
house wherein they live.
The craving among women who
must work all day for pleasant
home atmosphere is naturally great.
And that is why. now that the nov
city of finding themselves powers
in business and the prejudice
against such procedure have worn
off, they are really planning and
developing some charming homes.

nothing to offend certain Puritanic
taste If the powder used doesn't
show.
It's Easy to Get Now
OF course, another thing that
makes the use of powder more
usual than ever before is the fact
that good powders are so readily
attainable for reasonable prices.
There was time when good face
powder was difficult to get. 1t was
expensive, and in many American
towns it could not be got at all. So
women made it at home-in the
days when they distilled their own
perfumes and made their own
creams and lotions
But making your own cold cream
skin lotions, powders and other
cosmetics is like making soap for
household purposes-all very well
if YOU really enjoy doing it. but
seldom a source of real economy.
