Way to Win Distinction

figure may be given lines of distinction
Or the hair of an indefinite brown may
with careful attention and becoming
arrangement be made into a veritable
crowning glory.
The color and tone of the skin should
be carefully considered with respect tc
the coloring Of eyes and hair. II eyel
and hair are more on a brunette order
then the powder and rouge should be
chosen to give the skin a rather olive
tone, while II the eyes and hair are OF
more blonde sort, then the powder
and other cosmetics should be chosen
accordingly.
If the brunette complexion does prove
to be more becoming, then a real i'm
provement in looks may be gained by
allowing the suns rays to do their work,
1t is remarkable, to see how much more
distinctive some girls become after va
cation days when arms, face. hands and
neck have been nicely tanned.
On the other hand, the girl with
lighter hair and indefinite eyebrows
and eyelaShes should avoid this tanning
process. This, of course, Is perfectly
possible even in vacation days by the
Judicious use OF creams, powders and
slightly bleaching lotions.
Usually do not recommend the use
of coloring applications for eyebrows
and eyelashes, but in case of the girl
whose eyelashes and eyebrows are color
less, but whose type really demands q
more definite framing of the eyes, I
think 1t Is quite justifiable. Care should
OF course be taken in using any such
preparation The effect Is entirely
ruined II there is any semblance Of ar
tificiality about It.

Short Dolmans Are Sponsored to Take the
Place of Jackets Tailored Suits of Black

simple jackets, which made the outfit
entirely wearable for the street But
when the jacket came of the blouse
section of the dress, which extended
below the belt, was Of lace. leaving a
charming informal dinner dress. The
skirt was usually attached on points OF
deep seallops, definitely denying two

A sports dress that was extremely
wearable had a two-piece wrap around
skirt buttoned at either side with large
pearl buttons. The hip fitting was
completed by another row of buttons
on the opposite side, leaving two per-
fectly fat pieces for the skirt.
IRENE DANA has used Scotch plaids
most effectively in combination
with plain materials Of all types. For
instance, an organdy plaid makes the
g1let OF white crepe dress, while in
another ensemble plaided wool makes
skirt worn with a plain shantunR
blouse and a little red jacket Some
OF the loveliest Of the black and white
prints are in this collection, for Irene
Dana has an unerring ability for find
ing them, such as is possessed by no
other dressmaker.
Germaine Lecomte's collection was
notable for the heightened street skirts
which have since been seen at a num-
Der of the larger houses, as well as for
a number Of rather severely tailored
jersey suits. D. L. M

Suitable Flower Vases

WHENEVER you hear q housewife
remark that she would rather not
have vases Of flowers IN her house be-
cause she would so much rather think
that the beautiful blossoms we're al
lowed to remain on the stalk you NAV
put up a wager of 10 to / that this
housewife finds it rather a nuisance to
arrange flowers and take care Of them
indoors.
AS a matter of fact practically all
garden flowers do better for being
picked. If you want certain plants to
continue blooming all Summer you must
keep them closely picked-never allow
ing them to go to seed
One likes TO think Of the housewife
who has so many flowers to arrange
every morning that she has a special
place in her house TO do this work. 1t
is perhaps corner of a passageway
that leads from the back door to the
kitchen, or DIT Of a side entrance
where there are running water and a
few shelves to hold vases and scissors
and a flower basket or two. But we
really don't need such q nook.
However. beware of bringing garden
flowers right into the kitchen. Some
times you bring in ants with them and
sometimes those same ants get into the
their possession OF remarkably sweet
tooth.
The matter of vases Is one that is
really very important. AS a Usual thing
flowers APPEAR TO best advantage in the
simplest sort Of vases. Glass vases Of
good shapes are excellent. 1t is a mis-
take 10 use expensive vases or vases that
are precious heirlooms. unless they are
of metal and cannot be broken. Among
the very inexpensive vases that some
times set flowers of 10 excellent ad-
vantage are Jugs and jars OF stoneware.
A vase Of this sort or one of clear glass
Is To be preferred to vivid green glass
vase, let us say, iniaid with bands of
gold or silver or decorated with fcs-
toons of roses. The simpler vase does
not detract from the color or beauty OF
the flowers IL conea rs, whereas the
more ornate vase IS apt to do this.
Something concerning the shape OF
the vase should DO said.
Your own idea Of what constitutes
a pleasing shape may differ from the
opinion of some one else. and in this
matter your best guide is to follow your
own best taste. For it is you who have to
arrange flowers In the vase ana who
have TO spend most time with the vase.
But there can be no two sane opin-
ions concerning the shapes that are
practical for holding flowers and those
that are not. Whoever invented the
funnel-shaped vase certainly had little
experience In arranging flowers. YET
the shape is one that persists Far
better is the fish globe-shap1d vase or
the straight-s!ded vase. These with
spreading sides are attractive for GER
tain sorts of hsWefs, but sometimes We
can get better effects, with vases that
are not too wide at the neck, 90 that

LOVES for town, gloves for
country. Gloves for immediate
wear and gloves for vacation
~ Gloves for every day and gloves
for special occasions. You'll
need to buy dozens of pairs IL you keep
abreast Of fashion in a large way. with
an ample dress allowance at your dis
posal, and II you must be very economi-
cal you will have TO buy your gloves
with great care In order to have enough
to supply this seasons needs.
Gloves are no longer mere hand
covering, something to remember at the
last minute to wear to keep your hands
from getting cold or rough, and some
thing that you can manage to do with
out most of the time during the warmer
months. They are fashionable neces-
sity, and the fact that Summer time is
coming does not, this season, make them
whit less important.
DONT imagine for a moment that
fashion is doing anything at all
unusual in stressing the Importance of
gloves For generations gloves have been
among the most important accessories
in the we'll dressed woman's wardrobe
The unusual condition was the one that
prevailed during war days, and for a
good many years thereafter when the
importance Of gloves was at its ebb.
One Of the things that made the
gloveleSs fad especially acceptable dur
ing and following the war was the fact
that gloves. long gloves especially. had
become extremely expensive. And one
thing that is helping to bring back the
glove as fashionable necessity is the
fact that at present gloves are decidedly
less dear.
In selecting your gloves this season
remember that the erstwhile rule that
gloves and stockings should match no
longer holds. You may, of course, decide
TO wear gloves of soft beige tone, Of
the same tone as your stockings, but
there Is no must about 1t. Pure white
gloves are decidedly smart, and will re-
main so throughout the Summer, and
there Is some talk Of a return of the
white stocking to wear with the all
white Summer costume, but there is no
essential connection between the two.
III you wear q white blouse with your
dark suit or white lingerie collars
and cuffs on q dark or pastel toned
dress, then the chances are that YOU
will choose white gloves. You NAV
