PERFECT HOUSEWIFE DOESN'T EXIST.

The perfect housewife exists only In
the realms OF our ideals. Such cfea-
ture has never existed and certainly
does not exist at present--for the simple
reason that the housewifely Job de-
mands such varied talents that no one
individual ever could possess them ALL
We sometimes speak of certain women
as perfect housewives" Simplifying by
that remark that they arc exceptionally
orderly and methodical. and usually
thrifty. But the very remark indicates
deficiency In a number of the other
housewifelv virtues which for practical
purposes are every bit as important
The woman who Is exceptionally or
derly may lack the tact necessary to
keep on pleasant terms with servants
and other employees. The woman who
Is excessively methodical may lack ar
tistic talents needed TO make her house
homeiike and attractive and the woman
who Is a paragon OF thrift may lack
the requisite Imagination to prepare
and plan appetizing meals.
Yet the housewifely job requires a
degree OF all these virtues. orderlineSs
method, thrift, tact, artistic perception
and imagination.
And 80. as usually happens, the
woman who really approaches nearest
to perfection as a housewife Is an all
round sort OF person who is not ex-
cessiveiy anything She Is fairly neat
and clean but not "pizen clean" She
has a certain amount of method but

Some of the milliners in Paris are
urging hats to match the hair-black
hats for women whose hair is of raven
hue-warm brown hats for women
with rich brown hair-henna-colored
hats for girls with red hair-straw-
colored hats for the cinder blonds.
honey-colored hats for other blonds.
and gray hats for women with pre-
maturely gray hair-for no tactful
milliner would ever speak Of gray hair
as being anything but premature.
And the good work of growing hair
goes on-and every day or so you meet
some old friend, once firm advocate

Certain principles OF color and design
that were found to apply successfully
10 batt!eships. arsenal roofs and tanks
during the war have since that time
been found to apply just as well to
womans shoes and stockings. The fact
is that if it had not been for the war
shoemakers and stocking makers would
never have thought of these principles
of camouflage at all With footgear and
hosiery we do not need to carry the
principle so far.
There was an advantage in making
battleShip appear at a distance TO be
just part of the general seaScape-sky
and sea and long skyline-and Of max
ing the roof of an arsenal look like a
plowed field or the top of a forest.
There would be no advantage in blot
ting our feet and ankles entirely out OF
the picture so that at a distance we
might seem TO be floating along with
no pedal appendages at all. nor of max
ing them look like horses hoofs or BITS
Of shrubbery or something of that sort.
But TO make feet look shorter or Slim
mer and to make fat legs look slim and
thin ones look more shapely. is often
highly desirable, and this the art of
camouflage has taught the shoemakers
and stocking designers to do
Not long ago some one hit upon the
idea Of making stockings shaded in such
2 way as TO give slender appearance
TO stout ankles and legs. Apparently
there has been no great demand for
these stockings perhaps because on
close inspection the ruse was TOO OBJ
vious. The vogue for tapering heel de-
signs that work wonders in slcnderiZing
the ankles has. however. gone merrily
on-because the heel designs themselves
are considered attractive and do not
strike the observer as being present as a
trick OF camouf1age at all
Square topped heels have the effect
OF heightening the back OF the foot and
making the front OF the foot appear
smaller. They APPARENTLY lift the back
OF the foot from the ground-in the
same way that high heels do. But the
heel decorations that extend upward TO
point are much more effective in
making the ankles appear actually slen-
der. Sometimes there are two OF these
long pointed devices-one at either side
