Labor day sets a punctuation period
to many vacationists holidays. From
this day on for a month or more home
ward journeyings are seasonable, Among
the hosts of travellers, few find the lug
gage for the outbound trip sufhcient
for the return. It becomes a question
how to take the accumulation back, or
such part of 1t as Is necessary or toe
treasured to leave behind. A few So
buttons are offered today.
II distances are not so great that
parcel post rates are high, package OF
the bulkiest (but not heavieSt) articles
can be packed and sent by mail. Wrap
the bundle in heavy wrapping paper
or first put the things in a cardboard
box. Such a box is light weight and
will not increase postage much. For
the contents select unbreakable articles
and those which will not be hurt by
being tossed about in the handling.
Shawl-strap luggage is great aid
The only cost is for the strap. Articles
are made into a rather long, circular
parcel This is wrapped in a steamer
rug, raincoat or some strip of dark
cloth, so folded about the parcel that
nothing can slip out at the ends. The
shawl strap fastened about the parcel
holds all securely and provides handle
also.
The carry-all, written about recently
AZ perhaps the best solution of all. 1t
can be made In a few hours, in an aft
ernoon or evening, and be ready always
for Just such emergencies. 1t can be
taken on the outbound trip. this time
folded and tucked into small compass
in a suit case or trunk. It holds arti-
Giles without any slightest chance OF
their falling out. 1t costs but trifle to
make. AL the materials-natural-co
ored linen, binding tape or braid and
yarn for embroidery-can be found In
any country store. When soiled, 1t will
launder to look like new. And when
finished a smart piece of new-style lug
gage results, one to be included in natty
hand baggage.
For college girls and those going
away to other schools than universities
these carry-alls are just the thing. The
cases protect contents from dust so per
fectly that they are fine for motor
trips. There Is enough hexibility, even
when well filled, for the carry-all to
be easy to pack in the irregular spaces
into which bags and baggage must

A diagram pattern with full direc-

circular motif was designed especially
to cross-Stitch on the ends Of the

Of her presence. Her head and color

she clings that few people ever see her.
At night she goes about with her bright
eyes cleaning in the dark. These
moths have even been called "owlet
moths"
The mothers are rather careless about
placing their eggs. Some have been
found on drapery, window sills and
stems. There are about 500 of them in
one mass, usually on the hard ground.
They are pale yellow and about one
twenty-fifth of an inch long. AS the
little worm grows the egg turns darker.
In a few days the baby eats its way
out of the shell and turning about,
consumes its own shell. This is the
only time it shows any signs of being
economical.
The variegated cutworm. so named
because of the yellow spots along his
back and the dashes of black and the

Towel, Supply.

How about your towel supplya Does
It need replenishing? II 1t does, you
really have O rather pleasant task be-
fore you, for the towels in the shops
just now are most tempting. And they
are fairly reasonable, too.
It Is q very good plan to choose
towels OF different colors for the differ
ent members Of the family. This plan
makes it quite easy to keep the different
towels separate, even when they are
In one bath room. It Is easy for small
Jane, for instance, to remember that
her color Is red, and that bath towels.
hand towels and washcloths with red
borders belong to her. And young
Jimmy can equally easily remember
that blue Is his color.
There are enough colors for the rest
Of the family, too-yellow and pink,
green and violet-so that nobody need
encroach on anybody else's color.
If you don't want to have different
colorS, then you can embroider Diff
ferent initials or the towels, and mark
the washcloths with the small ma
chine-made letters that you can buy
at the notion counter. Or, II you wish.
you may use these little letters on
towels and washcloths, too.
Some housewives with large families
give each member of the family a num-
Der, and then mark all towels and bed
linen with corresponding numbers.
This Is an easy arrangement. and you
can buy numbers for marking like the
initials.

Color Consciousness.
Colorfulness Is one Of the outstandir

Colorfulness Is one Of the outstanding
characteristics Of the age in which we
live. The public demands color and
plenty Of 1t in everything from kitchen
utensils to automobiles. In the realm
Of fashion, color has always played an
important role and this season seems
to have brought us even gayer and
clearer hues. Milady wants q vivid
dash OF color in her costume Access
series as well as among the cosmetic
jars on her dressing table. 1t is not
strange, then, that makeup should
also show range and brightness of
shade to match her surroundings.
A naturally clear, rosy complexion
and red lips. Of course. need no artifi-
cisl coloring. Their shade is alb
solutely right and their fortunate pos
SCISSOR should carefully select for her
costumes the shades that best set off
her natural beauty. However, those
who have not the good fortune to pos
sess high natural coloring-and a large
proportion Of girls in their late 20's
and over belong to this class-must re-
sort to cosmetics in order to appear to
advantage in the brighter hues that
are so popular today.
When artificial color Is used In
cheeks and lips the question arises,
Which shaded, And the answer nat
urally is affected by the color of frock
milady plans to wear. 1t is quite OBJ
vious. of course, that shade of rouge
that looks well with costume Of bright
green, yellow, orange, apricot or coral
would not be so effective when one Is
wearing clothes in any shade of blue
or blue-green. Rouge and lipstick with
an orange tinge is best with the for
mer group of colors, while the latter
seem to call for makeup with a YER
million cast. 1t is hard to generalize
successfully on such delicate points,
but any one with good color sense
can learn by experiment which Is the
best shade of makeup to use.
Observation and experience will show
that In order to avoid an unpleasant
conflict between ones clothes and
makeup, it is necessary to recognize
the primary rules of color combination.
Reds are perhaps most important. and

Fashions of Today
BY MARIE sHALMAR.
Jewelry of Old Design.

The revival Of Second Empire and
Victorian fashions has brought about q
revived interest in quaint, old-fash-
Toned jewelry, and necklaces, bracelets,
earrings and brooches Of the sort your
grandmother wore are very much the
thing at present.
Among the definitely modern jewelry
there are necklaces and bracelets made
of aluminium beads, and sometimes
aluminium Is combined with rosewood
and other precious woods. Rosewood
bracelets are chosen to wear with the
brown afternoon dress, and some Of the
new leather or fabric belts are finished
with wooden buckles.
Purple has come back In the wake
of the Eugene fashions. There is q
lovely soft purple chosen for some of
the most attractive new velvet dresses
for formal afternoon. or evening wear.
Then there is a new bright blue, o
little lighter than royal. also a good
color for the formal velvet dress.

preservation of this lovely spot-the
coolest place in Summer south Of Mason
and Dixon's famous line. But what
distressed me was that everybody waits
until the eleventh hour to make a wild

years I had been saying that this par
ticular waterfall and glen should be
preserved. Nobody listened. Now the
owner Is preparing to sell 1t all to q
saw mill, and the waterfall to an cleo

wants 1t quickly. Now some ladies are

have always admired the tactics of
the Washington naturalists who bought
up an island in the Potomac, useless as
real estate. and have made 1t their pri-
vate wild-life preserve. Partly because
it was an island and hence well fitted
to conserve rare species Of plants and
animals from destruction by FIRE and
ak, partly, perhaps, because so many
savants have combed 1t over so care
fully, this island now has longer list Of
rarities in the nature-lovers' line than
any other portion of the District. It
shows what quiet. thoughtful, rational
nature conservation can do when in
the hands Of experienced Washington
scientists.

My Neighbor Says:

If a cake falls in the center
when baking it is very possibly
due to the fact that the oven
door was opened too soon after
the cake was put in. In the case
of a sponge cake the door should
never be opened during the first
20 minutes.
Evergreens should be planted
early. by the middle Of october
at the very latest. If the weather
is dry at time of planting dip the
roots into thick mud paste be-
fore planting, but it is not neces-
sary if the. season is wet. Ever
green's do not require much at
tention after planting except
that they must not be allowed to
become dry. They should be
kept watered up to the time Of
freezing.
