taken apart and the material used for
laundry bags. pillow protectors or for
curtains In the kitchen or pantry, so
that there Is no real extravaganza.
For the usual sort of upholstery
lounge you will need to provide a large
piece to cover the entire back Of the
lounge, a long piece to cover the front
portion of the back, two shaped side
pieces, pieces for the insides and tops Of
the arms, shaped piece for the front
and q cover for the seat, as well as a
gathered or laid in box pleats.
If the seat of the lounge consists of
two or three unattached square cush-
ions, then these should be covered sep
arately. 1t is a good plan to cover them
on both sides, so that they may be
used on either side, as the seat of the
lounge always receives harder wear
than the other parts, and these covers
should be made so that they may be
slipped off without ripping up the en-
tire covers when time comes to have
them cleaned.
II you like, you may have plain-toned
material for your covers, though fig-
ured material has the advantage of
not showing soil or wear so quickly as
plain material. If your hangings show
floral figured design, 1t is better to
have q small geometrical design for the
lounge and chair covers so that the
effect Of figures will not be too strik-
ing.
There may be old chairs, seats or
lounges in your collection of odd furni-
ture that may be greatly improved by
little home upholstery work, and
sometimes 1t is better to attach the
covering than to make a slip cover. To
hold the material In position you will
find fiat-headed upholstery tacks very
helpful.

tive Effect.

STRICTLY speaking, there is a wide
- difference between dressmaking and
upholstering, but any woman who has
successfully made dresses for herself
can in pinch successfully make COW
ers for her chairs and lounges.
The old-fashioned plan was to have
slip covers for Summer time only, and
they were usually made of drab, unin-
teresting materials whose only claim to
praise was that they shed the dust and
protected the upholstery of the chairs
and lounges they covered. with the
coming of cooler weather in the Au-
tumn the. covers were removed and put
away orSanother season.
Now many thoughtful housewives buy
chairs and lounges finished in plain
toned sateen or denim and then make
or have made, covers that are left or
all the year round. The covers may be
removed and sent TO the cleaner and
new ones may be made at much less
expense than would be entailed In hav-
ing the pieces entirely reupholstered.
In making your first slip cover 1t is a
good plan to have some inexpensive
cotton material--unbleach muslin, for
example-to use to cut the trial pat
tern. The trial cover may later be

NO beautifully formed mouth shows
the gums in conversation. When
they are slightly revealed, lack of
physical and mental vigor is indicated.
If they show very plainly and to any
extent when the mouth is in repose,
inherited weakness, due mainly to q
faulty diet, is indicated.
Long continued deprivation of proper
food to build up the system to its high
est state results in such degeneracy.
The ignorance of many otherwise In
telligent persons on the subject Of food
Is amazing. A great many foolish
women avoid good, plain fare-nnuscle
and bone making fare-because they
believe 1t to be plebeian and because Of
the craze for extreme slenderness. The
result of this is thin, bloodless, delicate
bodies.
The color of the gums is very sig
nifcant. especially If they bleed readily;
when very pale they point to anemia
and general Impeachment Of the sys-
tenn. To be beautiful, your gums must
be healthy pink and so hard that they
cannot be injured when you use dental

The cuffs are very attractive, fitting
| tight to the wrist at the bottom and
then rounding out to haring cuffs
about four Inches up They snap shut
and, II you want, you can put another
snap on the inside and snap them to
| your frock's sleeves.
The multiple lingerie touch Is q new
phase Of early Fall style. A little after
noon frock, for instance, may have a
plaStroon of delicate material, cuffs on
the short sleeves and then the coat and
the hat may repeat it.
Such a multiple touch is done In pale
pink crepe, in one of the new tones that
go admirably with black. The little
black frock has q petaled. bib-effect
touch, made In sections and scalloped
all around by hand. Then there are
little petals falling out from under the
short sleeves, and around the coat. that
fits over the frock there Is scalloped
pink crepe collar to match. Finally the
little turban has a little touch of the
same pink across the back and UP the
side of it, in petal shape, too.
Patou introduced the vestee with
bolero effect in some of his frocks this
season and the idea has swept the style

If you are looking for the most styl-
ish touches, be sure to enbroider your
self collar and cuff set for your suit.
1t has been years since coat sets were
In style. This Fall you will see many.
For Q navy blue suit or black one use
handkerchief linen and embroider 1t In
dotted border in the color of your
suit. Fine dots make the border. and
either q scalloped edge or a rolled one
done in color completes the set
The final little extra touch Of lingerie
that you can add to your costume this
year Is the back-of-the-neck flower
Pique, silk or linen flowers, tucked
under your collar at the back! They
are new and cute. But you must have
little under collar of white or pastel
color to match the flowers, as a kind Of
setting. Slip the under collar under
your coats collar and the flower under
that. and you're all fixed.
Old-fashioned polka dots have gained
favor lately. An attractive collar and
cuff set uses very small navy dots
splashed around its edges to increase
the charm of q navy suit.
Another intriguing set Is edged with
pleating, and the round collar buttons
in front.

Collars and Cuffs.

Every influential French dressmaker
has added some type Of accessory collar
and cuff OF importance for Autumn
wear. AS shown at the recent openings
in Paris, these accessories were integral
parts of the dresses with which they
were worn, but thanks to the rapidity
with which French fashions are repro
duced and offered In this country, 1t is
possible already to buy separate collars
and cuffs of the sort that within so
short a time were seen for the first
time in Paris.
Pure white collars and cuffs are the
favorite with the black costume, and
all sorts of charming things have been
done with white georgette, which Is
more appropriate for Autumn cloth or
silk dresses than organdy or other cot
ton materials.
Real lace Is frequently seen with
black velvet, which, as every one knows,
is TO occupy an important position In
the fashion panorama for Autumn. Oc-
casionally pastel-toned georgette or
crepe de chine is used for accessories
on darker-toned dresses. A soft pow
der blue collar or bertha may be seen
on some Of the new wine colored
dresses. and the same tone of blue, as
well as light tones Of pink. is used on
black as an exception to the rule Of
black and pure white.

Care of Gums Is Advised

carelessly and rapidly Used. Therefore,
fiat dental tape is safer than floss.
In the beginning the symptoms of
pyorrhea are not clearly defined, as the
process is very slow, taking wears to de-
velop. Even when the gums have soft
ened and broken away from the roots
of the teeth, little or no attention may
be given the matter. A bad taste in the
mouth and an odor on the breath must
result from this condition.
Fasttdious women will discover any
trouble OF this kind long before it be-
comes pronounced. Preventive measures
consist IN rubbing the gums daily with
table salt and rubber massage brush
packing the teeth nightly with bicar-
Donate OF soda and prepared chalk.
These methods prevent-and also check
the beginning of the trouble,
When pyorrhea has advanced to an
appreciable extent, what can be done?
Tlncture OF iodine Is destructive to
germs. In mild cases solution of the
tincture--say half a teaspoonful to a
small glass OF water-daubed on the
gums and around the teeth, then used
mean actually used half q dozen times
daily-will arrest the progress Of the
trouble and keep 1t corrected.
Many oral hygieniStS advise cleansing
the tongue every morning with a flex-
1ble whalebone, but II you exert care in
other directions this should not be nee
essary. However, since a coated tongue
calls attention to some physical disturb
ance, 1t should never be overlooked.

draped folds of Greek gown, peplum
or chiffon can be best produced for
modern fashions by means of fine
pleats.
In the meantime, wider pleats have
been made use of in many of the new
dresses, because they may be used to
give the low-placed flare that is char

And all sorts of pleated ruffles and

edges on baby clothes or on table linen
or on towels, first run the edge of the
scallop through the machine with q
stitch graded according to the fineness
of the material you are working on
fine for thin fine material, of course.
This strengthens the edge of the
scallop and keeps the material from
breaking between scallops, the place
where wear usually begins.
