Travel Mending
Bags Important

One of the articles most often for
gotten when people pack trunks or bags
to go away for Summer outing Is the
mending bag. 1t seems usually that II
you do all your mending and sewing be-
fore you start away you will "stay
mended' at least while you are gone.
But rents will come, stitches will come
unsewed and, most often of all, buttons
will loosen or come off.
For your travelling mending bag select
something substantial and durable. A
good-sized cretonne bag made with a
half dozen or so little pockets on the
inside is a good sort. In one of the
pockets you may put the half dozen
different spools of thread you will need,
in another you might put your needle
book, in another braid and tape, in an
other the darning equipment, and so on.
For your buttons it is good plan to
have little bag to put inside your large
bag. Select the buttons for this bag
with reference to the clothes you are
wearing, remembering to add a few
snappers and hooks and eyes in black
and white.
1t is always a good plan to have a
bit of plain white cotton material to
use in mending or making REINFORCE
ment for clothes. In your mending bag
you might also remember to put your
tape needle and a reel of lingerie rib
DO or lingerie tape There should be
white tape for making shirt strings, and
the mending bag is good place to keep
additional shoe strings.
Scissors are articles that SO easily be-
come miSlaid or lost that it is a good
plan to attach some sort of identifica-
ton to yours. A thin piece of wood or a
piece of cardboard, bearing the name of
the owner, may be attached to one of
the handles by means of a stout cord.
Other people scratch their names on
one Of the blades Of the scissors with Q
pin for Identification.

They Must Be Demure
And Very Feminine,
With Bit of Elegance
About Accessories.
Value in Family
Laces Is Recognized.

You who 60 down the bridal path this
June probably know by now just how
deliberately you can gown yourself this
season.
You must, first Of all, be demure.
Secondly, you must be very, very femi-
nine. Third, you must have q bit Of
elegance about your accessories.
suppose the bridal veil is the most
interesting accessory to most of you
June brides. II you have lots of lace
in the family you can use it up that
way. If you have even o bit. use it
for the cap TO which the tulle attaches.
Since many q modern young bride
has no garnet in her home, much less
fine old lace stored away, you can be
just as chic If you take hand in your
own headdress and embroider q little
tulle coronet in crystals or in pearls.
Some of the sweetest and daintiest we'd
ding wells have this type Of cap.
You can take your pick whether you
carry a little white kid or satin covered
prayer book, with its gold cross gleam-
ing on the front, or an old-fashioned
noSegay of orange blossoms, lilies Of the
valley and white orchids framed by a
ruching of the wells tulle and with
fiounced streamers of the tulle. You
can take the tiniest of little punches Of
orange blossoms, back 1t effectively by
lace paper, then tulle, and make 1t into
a quaint, lovely bouquet.
You will perhaps walk q little more
steadily to the "Lohengrin" wedding

For the Steamer

No matter what sort of clothes you
take to wear on board steamer you will
usually find that the comfortable sort
of sports costume best serves for almost
all daytime occasions. Especially use
ful are the new pull-over sweater blouses
made Of fine light cotton jersey, long
sleeved. short sleeved, or sleeveless. They
may be worn tucked In or in over-blouse
style and are smartest when combined
with q matching skirt. A Short-sleeved
pastel pink sweater blouse Of this sort
may be worn tucked In a slightly faring
skirt of exactly matching pink pique,
with trim little beret Of pink Jersey.
White or any Of the pastel tones may be
chosen for steamer because of the alb
sence Of dust and SCOT.
The steamer coat is almost always
Of beige tone and Is most practical when
made OF eamel's hair, which Is light in
weight and warm. The fur collar Is
rather out Of place. Usually fur Is not
used on the steamer coat and fur coats
are less practical than those OF cloth,
but this season there are coatS-full
length and of flnger-tip length--made
Of shaved rabbit In q soft beige tone
whiclFare especially designed for steaEns
ef wear.

Beware Dragging
About Your Work

It Is a natural falling for o man, or
a woman, either, to look at the whole
world through. the eyes OF his profess
sion. But this leads to narrow-r minded
ness, for even the best OF professions
only encompass a narrow sector OF the
worlds interests. If you were always to
associate with persons OF your own pro-
fession or members Of their families
this might be all right But since you
must meet and talk with others of other
callings 1t is wise to stretch your outlook
a little or you will make yourself I'M
popular.
The Army man or the wife of the
Army man regards Army officers and
their families as constituting the ariS-
tocracy Of the country. Then you meet
a man in the Navy or the wife of a
Navy ofhcer and she shrugs her Shout
ders at other people. College professors
and their families are apt to regard
themselves as more intellectual than
other people.
The popular writer in turn looks on
the professor as lacking In knowledge
of the world. The man in Wall Street,
no matter what his position, regards
himself as a budding financier-a pos
sible money king, and to be a money
king, thinks he, is to hold the ropes that
pull the world.
This, at least, is the attitude of many
persons in many professions. Isn't 1t
true OF yourself to a certain extent?
Don't you look at the other mans kind
of work as inferior to your own? Per-
haps you do this only occasionally and
probably you do not let this attitude in
terfere with your social conduct toward
other people. But beware of letting
this attitude dominate you. And re-
member that the men at the top of any
profession or calling are usually the
ones who best realize the limitations of
that calling or profession.

MORE than any ancient bit Of deco
AVA ration, mirrors Mt into the mod
ern house-furnishing scheme. For to-
days tendency toward cramped, often
dark, box-like dwellings has brought the
mirror into uses of which Narcissus lit
tie dreamed when he saw his image In
the brook.
Mirror hanging has become a fine
art, capable Of creating illusions OF
space and light highly desirable in
present-day apartments.
Doubtless the first purpose OF the
looking glass will always be to tell a
lady If her makeup is on straight and
to assure a gentleman he really is the
devil of fellow he has always sus-
pected.
But other purposes, far from incl

decorators and designers.
A mirror hung on one side OF

needed sense of spaciousness.
A mirror hung to catch the reflec-
ton of bright bit of drapery, Of dane
ing flames in a fireplace, or OF sunlight
streaming through a window will dou-
BILE the effectiveness of such cheerful
details. Light reflected doubles the
light shown. This is a point which the
housewife confronted with the problem
of furnishing a dark room will do well
to keep in mind.
Another point worth noting about
mirrors is their adaptability to space
which the use of fashionable but gaudy
wall paper often renders unSuited fol
paintings or prints. Wall mirrors never
conflict with wall papers. The house

Because of their adaptability to the

Venetian.

Be Sure to Know
What You Must Wear

There are always some people who
go away on Summer holidays inSufn-
GENTLY protected against possible cool
weather. The June bride Is quite apt
to do this. She has planned Sum-
mer trouSSeau and this includes no
wraps save very thin ones, and she
doesn't want to take anything with her
on her wedding journey except her new
things.
If she took a heavy coat it would
have to be an old one-she shudders
at the idea of last years camelS hair
coat. So she and her husband go on
their holiday to Seashore or noun
tains and even in June or July they
flnd the evenings and early mornings
cool. Motoring or boating they are as
chilly as home in late Autumn.
Many persons who 60 abroad for the
first time carry insufficient warm wraps
with them-and they look wretched as
they shiver in their steamer chairs
with thin coat collars turned up and q
small steamer rug tucked closely about
them.
If you are going away even for a
few days to q place you have never
visited before, you will be much better
content when you get there II you
send ahead now to make inquiries con-
corning the sort OF clothes that you
would best carry with you.
Often you will find that you will
need some special sort of footwear
Along sandy beaches you will need
canvas shoes. If the sand is deep it
may be that you will need q pair Of
canvas shoes that lace up over the
ankles, to keep the sand out of the
shoes. II you are. going boating 1t may
be that you will need sneakers, for
your stir -soled shoes would not be
permitted on board a fine sail boat or
canoe. There are rules regarding foot
wear on some tennis courts.
It may be-dreadful thought-that
there are snakes in the woods where
YOU are going, and for tramping and
mountain climbing you may be advised
to take high shoes of stout leather
as q matter Of precaution.

for evening and afternoon dresses lace
Is an excellent choice because Of the
gallant way 1t withstandS packing. The
georgette dress may be lifted from the
trunk or bag in a thousand wrinkles,
but 1t smooths out after 1t has been on
q hanger in the open air. Figured
prints and wool mixtures have certain
advantages since they show water spots
and the general wear and tear of travel
less readily than materials of solid
colorS.
AS much as possible, evening dresses
In the travel wardrobe should be Of the
several-occasion sort. Dresses that can
be worn only for the extremely formal
occasions are hardly worth their lug
gage space. The formal afternoon dress
should be Of sort that also can be
worn for informal dining and dancing.
If you travel with only one hat bag,
your choice Of hats Is most important.
The wide-brimmed hat for afternoon
wear should be light and of supple ma
terial, so that it will not be injured II
soft hats Of the beret and turban type
are placed about 1t in the hat box.
