The custom of drinking water in
which ice is melted is on the wane.
Water coolers now consist of bottles

are chilled without actually touching

consistent with good health. Members
of the family and guests should be
made to feel that they are always well
come to cool water. A vacuum bottle
of cold water Is now considered a nee
essary accessory Of the guest room. and
seems to have taken the place Of the
old-fashioned jug tinkling with cracked
ice.
The hostess. who. does not have a
supply of plain, chilled water in a con-
venient place for guests assembled at
every sort of entertainment Is failing
in her duty. It Is not enough to have

many folk. Water should be served in
as attractive and generous a manner
as anything else If you wish to show
yourself a thoughtful hostess.
Sometimes at a large party, left to
the hands of professional caterers, one
looks In vain for water and eventually
finds small pitcher or carafe Of water
on tray in an out-of-the-way corner
Of the dining room, and on the tray
are four or five glasses or tumblers, all
Of which have been used. If you tell
one of the walters that you would like
some water he will offer you punch

to take 10 minutes to crafty your
wants.

But before we lay in new supplies
let's take an inventory of what we al

scarf or two, purse, a few blouses, a
between season wrap-we will doubtless
find that they will do just as they are
for another season. Other things will
do after they have been altered or re-

do at all. There is the hat you bought

Evening Dresses
With Jackets

Lace evening frocks with jackets are
most becoming. Moreover, they are
sensible, for the jacket, no matter
how thin, gives added warmth to
shoulders and arms. The sleeves some
times reach to the elbow, sometimes
they are just little shoulder caps. Some
of the jackets are abbreviated boleroS
some tie about the waist.
Taffeta evening gowns have huge
bows, fan-Shaped, at one side of the
in their spreading shape emphasize the
faring lines Of the stiff, outstanding
skirts.
A deep oval line finishes the back
decolletage of some Of the new evening
dresses instead of the more usual "
line. This oval Is sometimes finished
with a cowl drapery, sometimes with q
little scalloped edge Of the material OF
the frock.
Some of the new evening coats have
long, shirred velvet sleeves. Shirred
added bulk and warmth to the wearer
and reach well down over the hands.
Black chiffon velvet evening coats are
trimmed with white fur. The cheaper
ones, of course, are trimmed with the
cheaper white fur, but even that Is de-
cidedly good looking in combination
with the black of the velvet.
Velvet garters, by the way, are sold
to wear with velvet frocks.
A lot Of the new evening dresses have
fur-trimmed jackets. One of ecru lace
has bands at the end of the elbow
sleeves Of sable. One of black velvet
has a narrow white band around the
neck and tiny short sleeves of the little
coat One of printed chiffon has bands
Of fur around the sleeves that end below
the elbow.

Tissue Paper.

The wise housewife will treasure
every bit of tissue paper that comes into
her house. The fresh, white pieces can
be laid away in box to await the day
when something needs careful packing;
smaller pieces that are perfectly clean
and fresh are the very best thing to
grease pans for baking, and the crun1-
pied pieces should be kept in big bag
in the kitchen for wiping of plates and
dishes before washing.
It is astonishing how the curse is
taken OF dishwashing If platterS, plates,
vegetable dishes and butter plates are
first rubbed off with crumpled bunch
Of soft paper which, Of course, goes into
the garbage can.
Wipe out frying pans with a handful
Of tissue paper before putting water in
them and you will find the unpleasant
ness of washing them is very much d.
minished.
If pot or pan needs scrubbing with
securing powder, sprinkle it on and
then operate with the handful of soft
paper; you will avoid having to wash
q blackened dishcloth.
A few drops of kerosene oil on tissue
paper rubbed around an enamel tub or
sink removes stains and they can then
be quickly washed out with soap and
water.
Every housewife that tries it WIN
ind the bag Of tissue paper becomes
her best friend In the kitchen.

Salmagundi Party
Is Great Success

Let's give more parties, better parties,
bigger parties and more amusing
parties than we ever gave before.
If your income has not taken
downward slant then there is no earthly
excuse for not doing as much enter
tanning as ever, and II 1t has taken a
dip then you will have to give more
parties to offset any possible depres-
sion at home and to show that you are
a good sport and perfectly able to
weather the storm.
Actually a party need not cost much.
If you have dining room or an eating
nook with dishes, table linen, knives,
forks and spoons to go round you are
just wasting your resources not to ask
friends to dine and lunch with you oc-
casionally. The success Of a dinner or
luncheon depends so much more. on
the surroundings and the way it is
served than the price that Is paid for
the food materials used.
For the evening bridge party or in
formal dance, refreshments may be as
inexpensive as you wish to make them,
and no one will think less of you If
you select prizes that cost but little.
SO give a dance or give a bridge
party, or surprise your friends by CIV
ing an up-to-date salmagundi party.
The word salmagundi, as we only re-
CeHLIy discovered. means no more nor
less than a medley or hodge-podge
And that is precisely what this sort
OF party amounts to. 1t is a medley Of
various games and contests so ar
ranged that each guest has a chance
to take part in them all.
Usually the games are set up at diff
ferent tables and four guests-two men
and two women-Start at each table
and progress as they would in playing
bridge, the two winners moving up one
table. A better plan Is to give each
person written directions for progress
sing so that each game Is played at a
different table with a different part
ner. At a party of this sort given re-
Gently, long streamers were arranged
on the ceiling to indicate the direction
in which the players progressed. Guests
were paired of at the beginning of
the evening and kept the same partners
throughout. Half the couples were
given even numbers and the other half
odd numbers. After playing one game
at the first table the couple with odd
numbers moved in one direction, fol-
lowing the blue streamer, while the
couple with an even number followed
the red streamer.

Tulle Over Lace
Makes Chic Gown

A new evening gown shows o full
skirt of white tulle arranged over a
foundation skirt Of lace, beneath which
there is q foundation of paleet pink
silk. The effect is really charming. If
you have on hand a last seasons lace
evening dress, why not use 1t In this
I way? Black tulle or black lace over a
white or black foundation would be de-
| cidedly smart.
Do you remember the old-time taffeta
petticoat that went swish-swish against
the taffeta lining Of your mothers best
afternoon costume? Perhaps your mem
DRY doesn't stretch back SO far into the
past, and if you never heard the swish
ing sound Of taffeta against taffeta as it
was heard in the dear old 90s, you can
never quite imagine how impressive it
was.
All things, even rather foolish fash
ions like that, come to those who wait,
and perhaps before long. taffeta skirt
Innings will return to favor. A fair be-
ginning for such a revival has been
made in the new taffeta silk dress slips
that some of the shops are showing for
evening wear. They are very long,
rather full and just trifle swishy when
worn beneath one of the new dresses of
crisp organdie or tulle.
Large brooches or wide bar pins are
among the important afterthoughts Of
fashion. Many of the new blouses and
dresses are made with crossed surplice
closing that really needs some sort of
ornamental fastener. The long, narrow
neck scarfs of pliable fur. suede or vel
vet that many women wear this Winter
are particularly good looking when
fastened with q colorful or brilliant
brooch.

Given single good-looking suit and
four blouses and just see what a variety
OF outfits you may have. Especially If
you can match up the character of your
blouse with a little headpiece!
First, you will undoubtedly want a
couple of tailored blouses for everyday
wear. They should be utterly feminine.
The idea that you will look efficient in
mannish tailored things is all wrong.
You'll go much farther if you always
look softly feminine!
For these there are two new blouses
One is pale Spring green crepe Eliza

slender shoulder, small look you all love.
It is short overblouse, with the over

The blouse has a fitted neckband
which flares out to make a front panel
to the belt of the blouse. From under
this petal collar extends, with the
petals sewn together so they won't flop.
The same petal cut fashions the fitted
section from just above the beltline to
hipline where the blouse ends. It also
fashions deep cuffs. There is a little
narrow self-belt which ties with a soft
bow in front and suggestion of q
little bow at the front of the v neck.

Take Stock for Spring

Then there is the figured chiffon eve
ming frock that Is nearly as good as
new. Three times you have worn it
| and three times it has cramped your
style and ruined the evening for you
Not, of course, that any one was can
did enough to tell you it was unbecom-
ing. That was one of the things you
didn't have to be told. Even if you had
the dress remodeled you wouldn't like
it, so toss it in the discard and put the
price down to profit and losS-little
profit and much loss. Then there Is a
tweed skirt that you bought one day
in haste. Perhaps you had better save
that to wear under a long coat on
stormy days.
All this is melancholy sort of busi-
ness that most of us have to go through
with once or twice a year in order to
make room in our closets and bureau
drawers for fresh supplies. Depressing
work, to be sure. but it may be very
helpful if We only stop for little re-
Election.
The first .question that you should
ask yourself concerning any dress or
accessory that has been failure is
this: Why did make the selection?"
Perhaps you bought in too great haste,
perhaps you allowed yourself to be over
persuaded by an eager saleswoman
You may have been too tired at the
time to care much what you bought
or you may have been too greatly in
fluenced by friends opinion. Again
you may have bought the dress or hat
or accessory merely because it was a
bargain.
Then there is the pleasant side of
this business of taking stock Of your
wardrobe. There are afternoon dresses
,f ~
you have worn more times than you
could possibly estimate. There are
evening dresses that seem to carry
with them a guarantee of good time,
dresses that you loathe to part with,
even though you know that they are
out Of date or little shabby. There
are gloves and stockings that seem to
be endowed with the gift of eternal
youth and colored prints that no
amount OF sunshine or washing seems
to fade.
BY comparing notes concerning these
successes in your wardrobe with what
you have recalled concerning the pur-
chase Of the failures you will surely
draw a number of helpful conclusions.
You will probably discover that it is
great mistake ever to buy anything
merely because it is a bargain, Just as
1t Is a mistake to think that high
price is always a guarantee of salts
faction. You will also discover that
your own judgment about your own
clothes is usually better for you than
the impromptu suggestion of sales
woman or the prejudiced opinion of a
friend. You may, on the other hand,
find that the advice Of certain friends
and certain saleSwomen is most help
full, in which case you should seek the
same source for help in the future.

made for seeing. She doesn't mean that
her eyes are the ones that will do the

many minutes every day sitting in front

She has learned that there are some
shades of rouge which simply make her
eyes fade out of the picture. She might
as well have hat brim if she uses
them.
If you have rain-gray eyes, or green

p EALLY the only essential difference
~ between pajamas and other cos
tunes of the same genre lies in the
division of the skirt portion. Materials
that are suitable for pajamas are as
numerous as those that are suitable for
indoor afternoon or evening costumes,
and include velvets, metal fabrics, silk
crepes, satins and lace. There is the
same general placing of the waistline,
the same slim but not tight contour of
the hipline, the same variety in neck
lines
There is one possible difference, in
dress and pajama design. Pajamas are
always long. Even the less formal
afternoon types are long enough to hide
the ankles while the formal afternoon
dress may be considerably shorter.

Recently it has occurred to certain
city dwellers-here and there-that one
good way to give a little brightness to
their dull surroundings Is to use little
bright paint on dull doorways. So it is
that certain doorway of very dull,
dark house in dull neighborhood in
one of our large cities is painted a red
dish hue-and then there is somewhere
a doorway painted a lovely, soft, dull
shade of purple and there are several
green doorways.
The vicar of London church went
so far as to have the door Of his church
painted bright red. He feels that it
has done considerable to brighten up
the spirits of those who see it. IF
people would only realize" says he,
"the charm of jolly curtains, radiant
front doors, buoyant window frames,
London would be made the brightest
city in the world"
