Lace Needs Care
In It's Cleaning

Lace needs especial care in cleaning,
but practically all linen or cotton lace
can be washed in water and mild soap
with excellent results. A good idea is
to measure it exactly before 1t Is
washed, SO that it can be stretched or
shaped to the original size in drying.
Follow the rule to use lukeWarm water
to which little mild soap has been
added, and "sozzle" the lace. Do not
rub or scrub it. Never rub soap directly
on the lace and do not wiring it out.
Squeeze it gently between the hands
and let the rest of the moisture evapo-
rate. It should be laid fiat on an IRON
ing board or other firm padded surface,
stretched or pushed up to its original
size-for some lace tends to stretch
when washed-and allowed to dry thor
oughly before removing.
# you want to bleach the lace as
well, put it in the sunshine to dr., wet
ting first with a solution of water and
borax. If you want to restore tone to
ecru or cream lace, rinse in weak So
luton of coffee or tea. Fill glass with
the tea solution and hold it up to the
daylight. If it is the same shade as the
desired shade for the lace, it may be
used as it is. If it is darker, then 1t
should be further diluted.

Talking About Self

When a man or woman says: ."It
has always been against my principles
to talk of myself" or II am not the
sort of person who bores other people
by talking about myself" you can gen.
orally put it down in your mental note
book that that person likes few things
better than talking about himself, and
that he Is getting ready for a long ac-
count of his own achievements, his own
temperament, his own family, his rec
ord at school or college or in business.
The other day young man enter
tanned or thought he entertained a
young woman upon whom he was call
ing by talking about himself for an
hour or more. 'I don't know how
came to speak of my own affairs he
said. II almost never do AS a family
we are very reticent that way. My
mother always taught us that it was
bad form to talk about ones family or
personal affairs. It's q curious thing
about my early training. never real
lied that my parents we're better bred
or better class than other people, but
-" ETC., etc. Then followed another
detailed account of his family and the
care with which he had been brought
up. And he never quite understood
why it was that the young woman
never asked him to call again.
In one regard the young man was
right. People of innate good breeding
do feel reticent about talking of their
own affairs. However, all the superficial
training in the world seldom cures a
person who lacks innate good breeding
of this foolish habit of talking about
himself.

EvEN the baby's clothes reflect the
~ arrival of more feminine and more
hattering fashions Rufles and
ribbon bows, tucks and pleats, frills and
fiounces, shirring, shocking and fine
embroidery are used to make the first
wardrobe as dainty and attractive as
any young mother could wish.
This does not mean that clothes de-
signed for babies are any less sensible
than they we're two or three years ago.
Clothes and accessories must be light
weight, loose and easy to put on and
take of. And in spite of their tucks
and rufles they must not be too difficult
to wash and iron.
Since baby's health and physical we'll

cred. doctor and nurse must be con-
suited In selecting baby's layette
Whether your baby's Undertaking shall

him too lightly. And while they will
probably not see the necessity for the
little touches that make baby's clothes

If you are certain the furniture you
have does contribute to the relaxation
and resting of your family, look about
your home and consider if you have
as much rest furniture as you need.
Do you enjoy taking a little, very
refreshing nap in the afternoon? Do
you refrain from taking it because
you hate to disturb an attractively

chaise Tongue in your bed room is the
solution to your problem. It offers
an excellent place for taking that little
moment of rest which means so much
in the hurried life of a busy woman.

another important item to be considered

Of the stores call them.
In the second place, gray gloves are
going to be more popular than they
have been in blue moon. Whether
or not you've worn gray before, you
may find yourself planning at least
one outfit that calls for gray accessories.

are new. Navy blue gloves are good.
too.
Fancy cuffs, fancy stitching. modern
istic appliques and buttons here and
there add to the eye interest of the
new gloves. The flare cuffs take Q
real Importance. Many of them are
lined or piped with contrasting color.
Washable gloves have increased in
popularity, and many of the new street
versions of what the smart woman will
wear on her hands this Spring are
washable.
Long gloves for evening come in the
most delectable pastel shades. There
are becoming off-whites that have Just
the right amount of green or pink in
them to make them tremendously fat
tering, while they give the appearance
of being white.
For the street, to wear with a suit,
Spring Will introduce first of all the
-button-length glove, heavily stitch
ed and cufted in color. One Of these
is of a soft beige glace kid, with novelty
stitching in purple and beige. The cuff
is piped in purple and beige kid and
two little purple buttons snap the glove
in place.
A more formal type of suit glove. or
a glove suitable to wear with a frock,
is a four-button novelty cuff glove in
gray suede piped in navy blue. This
glove would be charming with navy
and gray outfit. The long cuff Is split
and curved, and the piping against the
gray is very decorative.
One of the most practical of the new
novelty gloves is a black and white
washable kid. This glove comes in
black with white appliques and stitch
ing, or in white with the black. There
is novel checked and striped stitch
ing, in both black and white. Their
the cuff flares in rounded curve on
one side and has a fancy fluted side
on the other. This cuff is lined with
the contrasting color.
Last but not least in the new gloves
is the popular mouSquetaire with its
hared deep cuff. A good yellow NOUS
quetaire glove is handsome indeed with
stitchingS in deep brown and the set
back modernistic decoration ON the cuff
made of appliqueS of the brown, and
a striped brown and white shadow eff
feet on the same outline.
Since Spring Is the dress-up time of
the year, gloves are most important.
For you may be dressed like a Queen,
but if you don't carry beauty in the
hollow Of your hand, the rest of your
costume will show up to disadvantage.

Eyes of the Debutante

And her mirror has strong lights, too,
which reveal every blemish, instead Of
softening it.
The index finger, so she knows, is the
perfect instrument for touching up the
setting around the eye, and 1t should
always be covered with tine linen. II
an eyebrow pencil is used for the eye
brows, the bare finger is then required
in order to blend the color evenly.
The debutante's beauty book has other
eye secrets, too. If your lashes are
tinted, your eyes are Softened. The
days of hard, calculating, know-it-all
eyes are over. They simply don't go
with the candle-lighting period that the
new styles are fostering.
A touch Of rouge placed at the cor
ner of each eye will add brilliance to
the eye. But don't make the touch too
big! Experiment until you get the pic
table isn't supposed to be a showcase
for a row of silver jars and crystal
bottles The modern debutante uses 1t
as a laboratory where she can make
herself more fascinating.
Eye makeup should not be left on
after the ball is over. No matter how
sleepy she Is, the debutante insists on
removing 1t so her skin can breathe
through the night. She spreads cream
over it and removes it very gently with
linen or facial tissues of a soft, fine
grade. The vicinity of the eyes is the
most delicate part of the body and has
to be treated carefully.
If her eyes aren't naturally healthy,
the debutante knows that all the ar
tificial aids in the world won't make
them shine as they should. But IL they
are, beauty aids cooperate in grand
way.
The glances they get, as well as give,
prove this.
There's been q rainbow round the de-
butante's party and determined stag
line since she put a shadow round her
eyes.
If you are going to exercise your eyes
as you should, when glance must have
a meaning, you must exercise a little
in advance, the debutante learned long
ago. Therefore, she practices her eye
exercise in much the same manner that
she did her scales when she was 8.
She fixes her gaze on some object
which is level with her eyes, then looks
straight up in the air, as though trying
to shift her view backward, and then
brings it back to the object again. She
inhales as she does this, holding her
breath a moment, then exhaling.
She rolls her eyes, too, way around
in a circle When she is weary, she
fixes them on something in the dis
tance-a sail on a clear blue sea, q tall
tree far down the road.
And she gets her reward when her
eyes speak for her when she needs their
aid.

THE debutante has discovered that
there are a great many things that
men do not know.
1t isn't the appealing hounce that

taking steps in the right direction when
you buy a becoming frock Palest pink
velvet and tulle, cloud blue chiffon and
daffodil yellow help to prove that no
man Is immune when the orchestra, the
maid and the dress get together.
But the debutante knows that her
greatest attraction lies in her eyes. II
they can be Swallowed in order to create
a glamour of mystery she will have
every man wanting to drink deeper.
And when the boy next door joins the
stag line she can rest assured that she's

Eyes have "it'' If you know how to use
your eye shadow. II your eyes are toe
prominent, black or brown shadow will
lessen this defect. Dark eyes also re-
quire black or dark shadow cream.
Blue or green eyes should choose dark
blue shadow stuff. Amber eyes find
added lights in purple shadow some
times and hazel eyes brighten up, too,
at the purple touch.
If your eyes are wide set, shadow all
the way across the lid. If they are
narrow, place the shadow at the cor
ners. If they are normal, tint only
that half of the eyelid nearest the
temple and leave the part next to the
nose and the inner corner of the eye
untouched
Small eyes appear much larger when
the eyebrow and the eyelid are dark
ened When eyes are very deep set,
the part of the eyelid nearest the tenn
pie alone should receive this added
beauty touch.
The debutante has learned that the
only way to improve her eye settings
is to experiment. She tries out one
effect after another until her mirror
gives its approval

NITHAT tired feeling" and all it
z means-rugged nerve, irritability
and aching muscles-may be cured or
prevented by the right kind of furni-
ture. Doctors tell us rs per cent of
the American people are suffering from
over-fatigue. They also tell us It does
not all result from too much hard
work. Much of it is due to not resting
properly. Some of 1t is due to using
the kind of furniture, in the office
and in the home, which is not suited
to us ard which requires us constantly
to adjust ourselves to it.
There is more to this idea of furni-
ture for preventing and overcoming
fatigue than the obvious consideration
that chair or sofa or bed is some
thing to rest on.

furniture really restful? Does each

While ,either light blue or pink may

in place of the traditional baby blue
you will find soft grayed blues and
light blues of slightly gyeenish cast

babies. Even babies nowadays acquire
tanned complexion as early as
