SPUN SILKS ARE FASHIONABLE

From among the many models of
spun silk such as are triumphant in
the sports field today, two types have
been selected for illustrations here
with. The tennis frock pictured at
the left is styled of spun silk striped
shirting-pin stripes in any color
fancy dictates on white ground.
Note the normal waistline with that
nipped-in effect which is so altogether
chic and youthful, also the full-fared
skirt. Black and white kid sports
shoes accompany the frock.
Although the companion outfit looks
like one-piece frock, it is really a
sleeveless dress with short coatee of
lumberjack inspiration posed over it.
proving that even the lumberjack can
be feminiZed. The fabric is spun silk
in an alpaca-like construction in pastel
blue. Blue and white kid sports shoes
and a white felt hat complement this
costume.

HINTS FOR ROUSEKEEPERS

- -
An caves trough over the kitchen
door may prevent falls caused by icy
back steps.
If soft custard curdles set it in
pan of ice water and beat smooth
with an egg beaten.
A round whisk broom makes a good
clothes sprinkler because it gives a
finer spray, sprinkles more evenly and
does the work quicker than the hand
method.
Good care makes upholstered furni-
ture last longer. Any kind of cloth
covering needs frequent, careful
brushing, or cleaning with a vacuum
cleaner.
The six essentials for rearing sturdy
children are: proper food, sunshine
either real or artificial,-exercise and
rest. proper clothes, protection from
infection. and a wholesome mental
outlook on life.

1t is an additional precaution to pu.
napthalene flakes or paradichloro-
benzene crystals in the containers
with the clothing, but the main point
is to make the cOntainer tight. The
same care in preparing clothing for
storage must always be used. A
tight container, however, is of no
value unless the clothing is entirely
free of moths or unless napthalene or
paradichlorobenzene is used.

There are various ways of fumigat-

So David Travelled the South Island

were very well pleased with their
