This TWo-in-One Gift
Should Thrill Any
Feminine Heart.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

GLORIOUS Easter morning is prsc-
tically upon us. And with the
holiday comes the charming custom
Of gift giving. Attention, affection
admiration, regard and respect 1or
one are usually and readily expressed
via flowers.
+ know of nothing more charming,
unless it be bottle of perfume OF the
same fragrant odor as the living,
breathing flowers themselves tucked
in with the blooms. What could be
grander? She opens the box of blooms
and finds g. two-in-one offering-your
compliments to her-and your in
surance and assurance that the lovely
oder will linger long after the flowers
have Withered TO lemind her o. your

One thing ABOUT perfume. You cs n
choose with even more eAActnsss tnan
you do flowers. Because you are less
limited in your choice. There are so
many perfumes to choose from, deli

woodsy odors that talk about tweeds
and sports; exotic perfumes, languor-

II the purse permits you conpli-
ment her by sending a half dozen
different perfumes, inferring that she
is sweet mystery, with as many hard
to-solve selves.
Or you send q little trio of dram
bottles-a different perfume for differ

how thrilled she would be with per-
fume. Shed feel suddenly grown up
and important and bless you for MAX

And your 85-year-old aunt . some

Suds Lengthen Life of Girdle.

Know your girdles if you want to
look properly streamlined this season.
Not only are there models for prac-
tically every occasion and every hour
of the day but they come in colors
10 match all your gowns.
It's no extravaganza to own several
OF these practical figure conflnerS.
Quite the contrary. Four or five
girdles or foundation garments worn
in rotation and washed in between
will last far longer than the same
number worn ConSecutiYeIy with no
time off for laundering and rest. Per-
spiration and body oils are death 10
elastic as TO all fine fabrics and can
be removed most effectively with warm
water and soap.
When your girdle is ready 10 be
washed, swish it about for few
moments in a generous lather of luke
warm sudS. II badly Soiled, place II
on fat surface and scrub it inside
and out with nail brush or soft
hand brush. Use several lukewarm
rinses.
Absorb as much of the moisture as
possible by rolling the grdle in
Turkish towel, then stretch it gently
lengthwise to restore its original shape.
Never stretch a girdle sideWiSe. Dry
on a fiat surface or hang it upside
down by the garters away from any
extreme of heat or cold The lace
or non-elastic portions of foundation
garments should be pressed with a
warm iron when the garment Is
nearly dry.

IF YOU'RE not in too much of a
hurry and want to be rested when
you arrive at your destination,
l. what could be nicer than travel
ing by train? The modern train,
with its club cars, sir-cooling systems
and splendid service, is ideal for Z
care-free trip.
assuming that you're soing to take
8, long trio, one OF the most desirable
oleces OF lugsaee IS the Pullman waro-
looe case, NniCn fits under the bertn
in the sleeper. This comes in several
lengths, the maximum size being 80
inches. It contains hangers which
keep your clothes in fine condition.
There is not only plenty Of space for
dresses, but you can also carry shoes,
hats, lingerie, etc, in the bottom of
the case, which is conveniently divided
into sections. These partitions are
removable and the bottom can be used
to advantage for packing away clothes.
This same Pullman wardrobe case,
with few minor changes, Is made for
men. A hat-and-shoe case is
necessary accompanying piece. These
cases are equipped with holders Or
separate pockets for shoes and there
is space in the bottom for several
hats. There is also narrow tray
in which lingerie can be carried and
which serves another purpose, that
of holding the hats securely in place.
To complete your luggage require
ments, whether you are masculine or
feminine, you will, OF course, need q
fitted overnight case in which you can
carry all your toilet articles, sleeping
garments and slippers. This case
should be small and compact, yet it
should be adequate to hold the things
you need when you 60 into the wash
room on the train. These bags range
from inexpensive, enamel-f1tted styles
to the expensive cloisonne tmporta-

One thing necessary to all cases, how
ever inexpensive or costly, is a cover.
Most fitted cases come complete with

have a smart and practical cover

CPEAKING about permanents, there
is always the question OF whether
you will have a machineless wave,
where the heat is contained in each
individual sachet and instantly re-
leased when the sachet Is dipped in
water just before it is applied to the
wrapped curl, or whether you will
choose to have your wrapped curl in

OF the heat unit methods; in fact,
one that has just been installed in
smart new uptown shop, and is the
delight OF its owner The attractive
gay coiffure, we were told, was a

It's extreme dryness; but the result

been so carefully wrapped that it will

With the results Of her permanent

But, OF course, all OF these de-
lightful hair arrangements presuppose
a good permanent wave as a basis on
which to work. Even the smooth
looking page boy" coiffure can only
be done successfully on permanently
waved hair, and not only are the
ends waved but the entire hair, strange
as that may seem. But we are told
that the hair will not stay in place
unless it has the added body" that
is given by q complete wave. Any of
the smooth crown arrangements may
be restyled with the next shampoo
and finger wave if desired, and in
order TO give yourself the advantage
OF unlimited possibilities in coiffure
for evening and daytime-work and
play-it is wisest to have the hair
rolled all the way to the scalp when
getting your next permanent.

A Child's

BY ANGELO PATRJ.

~OH, DEAR! What has he pulled
down now? Those poor fish.
This is the second time in a week he
has pulled them down and broken the
bowl and messed the whole place.
Naughty! You're a bad boy. Go
right over there and sit in the corner
until I get time TO talk to you. 1
don't want to see you, even. Poor
fish. I'm going to give them away
to some little boy who won't kill them"
Cant you put them out Of his
reach, Jane? Seems to me if he knew
he couldn't reach them"
Nothing so easy as that, mother.
He can't reach them from the floor
where he stands so he pulls the cloth

ce,ermined to make mischief
He does not know what mischief
means. all he is doing is saying to
all who will listen, Lift me up
little higher please, or bring the world
down here beside me so can see it"
Grown people forget that a child'S
limit of vision is much lower than
theirs. He is 3 feet high; his parents
are more than 5 feet tall. He lives
in a world that IS away above his eye
level and he wants to see all there is
TO see, up and beyond. He is not
interested in pulling down lamps and
vases and fish bowls. He is interested
in seeing them, that's all.
1t is not possible to cut down the
furniture in the house to meet the
present height of the child. He will
grow TO 1t by and by. In the mean
time he must learn how things look
Ilp your way. The best way out is
10 lift him to your height every day,
lake him around the house so that
gradually he becomes acquainted with
a there is above his level of vision.
An excursion on fathers shoulder
helps tremendously.
Another good Scheme-and one that
all good nurseries ought to furnish
is set of steps, broad, low, easy to
mount. On these the little child steps
10 higher levels and gets view of the
adults world. He mounts to their
heights and sees something of what
they see. This is an instructive desire,
a very healthy one that teachers and
aarents need to recognize and value.

10 rest his troubled mind and heart,
leaning on his fathers shoulder, or
against his mothers breast. Here he
learns to leave the lower levels of his
natural plane and rise to others
beyond and above where he can find
relief from the sharp corners and the
uneven ground.
While you teach the child to look

4 n class and are taking lessons in
cooking, which causes q Wag to re-
mark that they are evidently getting
ready TO marry the girls who are study
ing to be business executives and bank
presidents.
Well, why not in both cases? 1t
seems to me that it is not only good
precautionary measure for husbands
and wives to be able to step into each
others shoes and carry on when
necessary but also that the more they
know of each others work and wor-
rieS and trials and tribulationS, the
more sympathy and understanding
they will have for each other and the
closer they will be drawn together
Also, with both sexes trained TO be
ambidextrous, so to speak, and equally
able to turn hand to bringing in the
bacon or frying it, we shall be saved
from any of those narrowing scenes
that occur on the maids day off, and
the worse tragedies that take place
when purely domestic woman is
called upon suddenly to go out into the
world and earn living for herself and
her children.
Certainly we can but commend the
