Dressmakers Accentuate
All That Is Feminine

The neckline which is bordcred with
small flowers is not unusual among
the collections of important Paris
dressmakers. II is part of the style
makers scheme of accentuating all
that is feminine this winter and bring
ing their fair clients back to woman
illness.
Tiny rosebuds outline the round
neck of black taffeta frock at one
famous house. Red camellias frame
the back only of another decollete, a
very low one on a black velvet gown.
There are several examples in Pari-
sian society of women who consider
flowers worn on the back side of the
left shoulder smarter than flowers
worn anywhere else. Despite the ex-
ceptions, the general tendency in up.
per fashion circles is to remove the
emphasis from the flowers to the cos.
tune. AS rule fewer flowers are
being worn.

Color Treatment of
House Is Important


Just as light colors make a house
appear larger, SO dark colors make
house appear smaller. When a large
house is surrounded by dense
foliage which throws it in shadow,
warm grays and tans provide an in
teresting treatment. Tall narrow
houses look shorter and in better
proportion when painted light color
with a dark contrasting trim. A two
color body treatment for the tall,
narrow house is also good, though it
Is well to remember that light colors
and dark colors are greatly accentu-
ated when used together.
The upper portion may be painted
darker color, and a medium color,
used for the trim, will, if properly
chosen, help to relate the two body
colors. In selecting a color for the
trim undue emphasis should be
avoided on uninteresting architec-
tural lines. This can be accomplish
ed by keeping the trim color fairly
close to the particular tint selected
for the body treatment.
For instance, in yellow house,
light cream trim would not overem-
phasize unpleasant structural lines;
but should the house be green, appli-
cation of this particular trim color
would cause each individual detail
to appear to the observer in bold re-
lief,

Protecting HOrnesites

Reports indicate that coming ordi-
nances have been helpful in cities
throughout the country in avoiding
the blighting of districts and the I'M
necessary scrapping of buildings and
costly public utilities that are still
serviceabe., The raZing of single
block of dwellings and the scrappin"
of utility connections unsuited for
altered occupancy usually involved a
destruction of 100000 or more worth
of property, depending ON the number
and character of houses. Where the
scale of such operations is reduced by
good coming ordinance the annual
savings. even in city of moderate
size, are very considerable.

Rich Frocks for
Formal Occasions
Picturesque Evening Gowns
Now Prominent Part of
Milady's Attire.

A new note in the formal frocks
that go to dances and the theater has
been exhibited in the gowns that are
winning attention in the smartly
dressed world. The picturesque COS
tune is now at the height of the mode.
The sophisticated frOck that depended
entirely upon line has made way for
the formal gown of billowing skirt
that is part of the robe de style; the
scant knee length dress of velvet
very full and uneven as to line; trains
are even seen as well as the dropped
shoulder yokes of another day--these
types of dresses that announce the sar-
torial formal season will all stress the
picturesque and individual.
The marked feminine feeling is be-
ing expressed with particular effec-
tiveness. The ,snug-titted bodice is

Roof Needs Consideration

If you are planning to build or re-
roof soon consider the relationship of
the roof to the home itself Aside
from the important fact that the roof
is designed to protect all the interior
contents, from an architectural view
point it represents approximately two
thirds of the exposed (exterior) area
of the building itself. Can there be
any more logical reason why the Sc
lection of the roof-its color. as well
as quality of materials, deserves the
utmost consideration?

She knew that to a professional
teacher her methods must seem gro
tesquely unprofessional, being based
on the same principle as that By
which she lived most of her lifa-or
tried to; that principle being the I'm
perative need to extract all the enter
tainment possible from any situation
in which you found yourself. So she
worked really very hard to make her
days in her schoolroom yield enter
tainment, first to herself, and second
ly to forty rather bucolic children OF
all ages and sects (Amish, New and
Old Mennonites, Dunkards) who filled
her school. A few vigorous and tire
some hours were devoted to drilling
in geography, multiplication tables,
grammar, spelling (she suspected that
the way she did that drilling would
have made any real pedagogue shud-
der) and the rest of the time was de-
lightfully spent in teaching what she,
not the school trustees. thought chill
dren ought to know--fairy stories,
poeIus, plays.
