Yet all these measures are necessary
and helpful In any kitchen.

Taste in Window Furnishing

Beginning with the heaviest and rich
est looking of the drapery materials,
such as the damasks, velours and vel
vets, there are tassel fringes and bull
lion fringes which are very appropriate
for use on these materials.
Interesting color combinations may
be worked out, bearing in mind the

During the Summer months rlany
women. prefer to take down the heavy,
dark draperies and in their Llace use
less expensive, brighter eolored ere
tonne, linen or chintz draperies.
Nothing will add more to the gaycty
and GOODNESS of the Summer rooms
than the decorative fringes and other
trimmings on the edge Of he curtains
For the linens, chintzes, cretcnfies and
all kinds of embroidery draperies there
are many varieties of cotton ball frinIes,
cretonne edging and brush edge fringes
which match or harmonic in each ,ase
A more graceful line may be given
the glass curtain or the shade by fin-
ishing the lower edge with an appre.
pirate trimming. A rayon tubular
fringe is excellent finish for wolfe,
gauze or net glass curtains.
A bullion fringe of the same color
as the shade itself will make that useful
bug not very decorative part Of interior
furnishing much more attractive.
The size of the window should be
taken into consideration in selecting
the width of the fringe or other trim
ming which Is to be used on curtain,
shade or drapery.

Because of the delicacy Of the eye, the
treatment must be gentle when the lids

IN using so apparently simple meas

Take, for example, the occipital muscle,
which covers the forehead. When you
raise the eyebrows you throw it into
horizontal lines. Rubbing the forehead
in a haphazard manner will not elimi-

Study the muscle; 1t is fiat, tough

underlying bone, much as a piece of

THERE are so many things to con-
slider when planning the vaca-
ton wardrohe that it is wise to
i make a start by figuring, either
mentally or with pencil and pa
per, just what the important and de-
termining factors are.
First, there is consideration of the
character of the place chosen, whether
it is formal or informal, which deter
mines the type of wardrobe you must
assemble, Is it a place where active
sport Is the attraction, or Is 1t q restful
place where walking about, playing
bridge or sitting on the porch Is the
usual thing?
Second, there is the length of your
stay to be thought of, for that quite
definitely determines the extent OF your
wardrobe,
These two things are the prime con-
sideration, because the extent and APP
propriatenesS of your wardrobe have, as
you no doubt know from experience or
hearsay. much to do with the success OF
your Summer. There Is no more pa
thetic sight than a girl or matron with
an elaborate and formal wardrobe Vaca-
tioning at simple and informal resort,
The reverse of this picture is equally,
If not more, pathetic. So do not buy
your Summer clothes in 9 hit-or-miss
fashion, but proceed according to q well
thought out plan.
THERE will be days during your vaea-
! L ton, whether at seaShore or noun
tains, that will be either rainy or cool.
If they are cool and you are compelled
to stay indoors, the chances are that,
owing to dampness, your light clothes
Will not be entirely comfortable. # the
day Is cool, these clothes will be useless
for the same reason. For days OF this
sort there are three things that are in-
valuable. A Isle dress, with aeeora=
panying cardigan, has just the right de-
gree Of comfortable warmth without be-
ing bulky or too-warm. Sheer isle in
the good old balbriggan weave Is in III
modern form a fabric well suited to
present-day fashions. It molds the flg-
ure, drapeS well. and takes all the new
colors perfectly.

.THE histories of skirt lengths and
hair lengths within the last few
years have to a certain extent
i run parallel Whether or not
there was any interdependenc
of the two fashions, the fact Is that the
first abbreviation of skirts occurred
about the time that fashionable women
began to bob their hair, and that the
period of shortest skirts was coincident
with the period of most closely shorn
locks. Moreover, about the time that
the change-loving younger set in this
country first amazed their elders by LETT
ting their hair grow, they still further
amazed them by wearing long-skirted,
period dresses at dances.
Gradually we all became accustomed
to the thought that the fashion for
knee-length skirts would not and should
not last forever, and that a woman
might be just as up-to-date with hair
that was long enough to do in a bun at
the back as with hair that was not.
THIS Spring the longer-skirt idea had
become so generally accepted that
about the only excuse woman had for
wearing q shorter one was that her
time had been too much taken up or
that her purse had been too fiat to think
of buying new clothes. We just took
1t for granted that skirt that termi-
mated within or inches of the knees
was last seasons.
At the same time almost every girl
you knew had long hair or was doing
her best to produce it. Five or six
weeks ago we would have had difficulty
in making any sort of list of women
under Is whose hair could still be spoken
of as short-and then came a few good,
old-fashioned Summer days and nights.
There were week ends at the shore and
lakeside, and first Nancy and then Jane,
next Peggy and later Bah yielded to the
temptation to have their hair cut again;
I'VE haven't gone back TO short hair, /"
they ten you. I'VE have Just had it
trimmed for the Summer"
Much as one might speak Of Q pet
poodle or collie.
THOUGH warm days provide excuse
for wearing knee-exposing tennis
shorts and bathing suits of the abbre-
Waited sort, dress skirts are as long this
Summer as they were during the Win
ter and Spring.
And so, for the time being at least,
short hair has won in the endurance
race with short skirts.
AT present the smartness of any dress
depends to great measure on the
length of the skirt, and for every
woman there Is smartest of all posi-
BILE lengths for the street skirt, for the
lighter afternoon dress, for the informal
dinner and dance dress, and for the
more formal summer evening dress.

me the aspect of symbol of determination.

saved exactly, leaving out two weeks for vaca-
