Violet Shades

Shades Of violet have come into

Going to Beauty School

There isn't q woman alive today who
hasn't wished at some time or other
that she might go to beauty school. tax

been given to the beauty shop operator
who washes and waves her hair. mas

icures her nails.
For every woman who ever intrusted
her facial fortune to the mercieS of a
beautician has at one time or other eX-
perienced fear. What sort of stuff
were they putting on now? What madc
1t smart so? What good would 1t door
what harm?
The instruction in any recognized
beauty school, though, isn't rs mystic
rious as might be imagined. For in
stance, the first lesson to be learned by
q woman taking her beauty into her
own hands or by q would-be operator
of a beauty shop is that the basis Of all
beauty is cleanliness.
Don't smoker and say that you take q
shower every morning and warm bath
before dinner. There is more to be
learned about Whist might be called
scientific purity"
If you feel complacent about this
Nation being the cleanest IN the world
remember that We didn't possess n
bathtub until 1912, and that it was
pronounced both O luxury and an I'M
democratic vanity.
We've done some advancing since
then. Philadelphians blush to remem-
Der that they once had q law to pro-
hibit the INDUCING in tubbaths between
November Is and March Is, and Bosto-
mans don't like to be reminded that the
same year they made it illegal to get
into q bathtub except upon the advice
Of q physician.
Some of our ideas are just rs anti
Quated as these.
We go about our bathroom thinking
1t is sterilized, antiseptic and thor
oughly clean, just because our budget
shows a large expenditure for soaps and
chemicals. But the up-to-the-minute
schoolgirl learns what sterilizes and
what doesn't. and just which soaps are
good and which injurious.
You can't possibly be clean yourself
unless brushes, tubs and basins are
clean. That's the theory OF scientific
purity" And nothing is absolutely
clean unless it is sterihzed.
There are certain diseases OF the skin
and scalp that are very contagious, and
it is especially important in the class
rooms. clubhouses and beauty parlors
to destroy all germ life.
Before sterilizing anything 1t should
be thoroughly washed with soap. and
water, and rinsed in warm water.
The four methods for sterilization are
by means of boiling water, dry heat,
vapors and chemicals
One may immerse instruments, such
as nail fileS scissors, clippers. etc. IN
boiling water and allow them to remain
there for 30 minutes. That method fol-

The curse Of the housewives day Is
the hot meal prepared at the end OF
blistering day. After hours OF labor In
a hot kitchen she Is apt to be re-
warded with the soul-searing remark:
Good heavens, who wants to eat In
hot weather." e.
There seems little necessity for any
mother to wilt herself and ruin her
disposition II she can convince herself
and the family that they can be just;
as well fed without making . martyr
of her. The mother who runs around
in a treadmill of habit, considering
that each day must see the same weary
round of busting, hopping, scrubbing
and cooking, will frown at such shame

housewife has an absolutely guilty feel

Colored or White
Jewelry Is Good

There are two conflicting fashions in
jewelry at the present time.
You may choose between ornaments
that are as white as possible-or that
make use of one sort OF colored stone
with diamonds or brilliants.
Or you may advocate the new rings
bracelets. necklaces. etc.. that make use
of a number Of stones Of different color
ing set together.
We sometimes think Of the diamond
as the only gem stone that is perfectly
white--or more correctly. perfectly color
less. There are really several others.
There is the white sapphire, the white
topaz, the white zircon-made white by
firing" Occasionally there are white
beryls and tourmalines.

~ EADWORk Is surely one OF the
- oldest forms of fancy work"
known to women. In prehis-
- toric times women made intri-
cate and beautiful designs by
means Of beads which were often in
geniouSly cut from shells and stones,
and for centuries when explorers have
set out to venture among Savages and
barbarianS they carried with them O
supply of colored glass beads, knowing
that they would everywhere be accept
ed in barter or as tokens Of kindly in
tentions.
The charm Of beadWork is appre-
ciated as much today as ever and mod
ern women find as much enjoyment in
working out designs in these bits Of
glass or metal rs women ever did.
Beaded dresses and blouses are not,
Of course, SO well liked as they were
flve or six years ago. That fashion ran
its course and died the death of over
popularity. Still beadwork is still to be
found on smart clothes-only not the
same sort Of beadwork. Among the new
figured chiffon frockS there are some
made with little jackets of the figured
chiffon on which the outline Of the fig
ure In the chiffon is picked out by a line
of fine beads Sewed on the material.
There are many interesting ways that
beads may be used in interior decora-
ton. Window curtains are sometimes
finished with rather large beads that
give little extra weight to the lower
hem Of the curtains to make them hang
straight and even. An attractive way
to introduce this beading is on O drawn
hem, which is most effective when done
on rather heavy, rough silk. Sometimes
1t is done on monks cloth when larger
beads are used. The threads are drawn

 Foreigner in Tournament

Seabright N. J., Aug. 1 P}-One of the finest young tennis players England has sent to this country in recent years stands today in the semi final round of the Seabright tournament along with three Ameri. cans.
 Norman G. Farquharson, South Africa, but who represents Cam bridge university is the lone surviv ing foreign threat in the tourna- ment. He is being considered as a possible winner of the famous Sea bright singles bowl.
 | In Richard N. Williams. 9nd, na- tional champion back in 1914 and 1916, Farquharson has drawn a semi final opponent worthy of his steel. This was indicated clearly when Williams yesterday yesterday downed Julius Seligson. the former intercollegiate champion from Le- high, in straight sets in the third round.
 While these two colorful figures are fighting it out in the lower half of the draw, a pair of America s most promising younger players will be battling in the upper division. John Doeg. stalwart Santamonica, | Calf. southpaw ranks eighth in the nation and should be favored over Berkeley Bell the hard working Tex an who is rated eleventh, but on | l., rt appears to be little to choose be- tween them.

Miss Nuthall was playing in mixed doubles exhibition with her Wight man cup team mate. Mrs. Proebe Watson. and the play of both Eng fish girls was watched intently as an indication of what may be expected of them in the series with America s best girl players at Forest Hills next week
 Miss Nuthall has abandoned the antiquated under handed service that marked her pay two years ago, but apparently has not yet perfected overland delivery. In one game she served three double faults and the opinion was freely expressed that ! lack of effectiveness from the serv- 1 ice line may handicap her at Forest Hills.
