place of leather in shoes. Rather,
it is felt that 1t will encourage the
sale of feathers since the high style
features will make it purely
extra" pair of shoes and most of
the models are combined with
leather in some form. Novel ar
rangements can be worked out with
this material as, for instance, the
black suede pump with Vinylite
band across the instep. This, since
the band is transparent, makes the
shoe look as though it is held on
by pure magic. Also. evening shoes
made entirely Of Vinylite and with
plastic, transparent heels, create
the glass slipper" illusion for those
who like their footwear highly
styled and unusual.
Now, of course, comes the catch.
which doesn't seem to be much of
a catch at all. We are told that a
report in an issue of the Journal
of the American Medical Association
announces that about 20 cases of
dermatitis have been reported at
tributed to the effects of this plastic,
usually from the wrist watch bands
made of the material. Further
study is to be made on the subject,
but it has not affected the plans
for selling, for 1t is generally con-
ceded that out of the great number
of wrist watch bands and other
articles of the material which have
been sold, 20 is a very small ratio
which may well be attributed to
allergies on the part of those af-
fected. Workers in the plant which
makes the material have been
wearing Vinylite shoes for weeks
and other tests are to be made. 1t
hardly seems likely that there will
be any trouble along this line.
Washington does not yet have the
Vinylite shoes, but should have
them a little later in the fall. In
the meantime, however, it will be
more than interesting to watch their
reception in New York. If women
take to this new idea in shoes as
well as they have to the revolution

American Couture

At the risk of sounding like
broken record we're going to keep
talking about our American design
ing talent. It's so important, this
American couture, that too much
attention cannot be given to It's ef-
forts. Most important in the work
is Annette Simpson, a designer
whose clothes are now being fea-
tured in a local store. Her collec-
ton includes everything from
tweeds to evening clothes and are
typical of the fashions which the
women of this country demand.
Miss Simpson did two collections
for Lelong and has now turned her
talents to clothes for smart women
here. More than a fair for design

damask or chintz drapery remind us
of the frothy fichus and wrist laces
of the beauX and bellies of the
golden age.
You may buy these curtains with
hemmed or slotted tops, in various
widths and lengths, or you may Sc
lect them with the unfinished top
and cut or trim them to suit your
self. The straight hemmed types used
beneath over-draperies are usually
finished to sill length. To be used
without draperies in the modern
manner, they should just clear the
floor, and be pinch-pleated and
most meticulously and professionally
finished and hung. The frilly, sheer,
ruffled type, usually used in bed
rooms, may be tied back at the sill,
with long overdraperies, or may fall
all the way to the floor, appearing
as soft lining to the heavier over
fabric. They are inexpensive and
very sturdy, in spite of their very
delicate "cobwebby" look, and will
launder beautifully and stand all
year use just as we'll as the heavier
materials. 1t is a great joy to have
such a practical and inexpensive
household item, attractive and fash
ionable at the same time.

IoWS, but lace curtains may also be
seen in beige and cream, as well as
in all the pale pastel tones that
blend so beautifully with the pinks,
blues, green's and yellows of fash
ionable wall papers and wall tints.
One of the smart decorating
tricks which turns the ordinary sill
length curtain into drapery of
great beauty may be worked out by
the purchase of an extra pair of
curtains. Part of each curtain is
gathered and sewed to the edge of
the sill-length curtain, making a
graceful flounce from sill to floor.
The remaining piece is draped,
swag- fashion, to finish the top of
the window during the summer and
might be replaced with drapery fab
ric for winter decoration. In a
bedroom, this plan might be further
carried out by the use of another
pair of lace curtains to make skirt
for a draped dressing table.
Lace curtains keep out none of the
air and sunlight, and their soft fiut-
tering folds accentuate the effect of
coolness. In the white and light
tones they actually reflect great
deal Of light into the room, and at
the same time soften the glare OF
sunlight from the street.
Without overdraperies, lace mesh
has light, informal texture which
is in keeping with summer living,
The same curtains with the addition
of draperies to add a touch of
warmth in the winter, take on an
air of elegance and formality that
changes their character Immediately.
Their long wearing qualities and new
beauty each time they are laundered
make them a budget item for year
round use that is not to be ignored
in these times.
The fashion for straight, sheer
draperies in modern rooms in soft
erey, ivory or beige shades can be
worked out with these wide, straight
hemmed curtains. Cascading to the
floor, they may be opened and closed
with draw cord. The simple striped
and neat geometric designs are just
the right note with modern furniture
and blond bleached woods The deep
ruffled tie-back types with their wide
top flounce and full folds are lovely

Complexion
Needs for
Hot Days
Skin Cleanliness
Is Foundation
Of Beauty
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Unless you want crop OF minor
| blemishes you should give your
face thorough cleansing with
bland soapsuds and water every
day during the summer
Warm weather opens up the pores
and allows the body's waste to be
secreted more freely than during
the colder months. That is why
daily washing is necessary. If the
poisons are not thoroughly removed
the pores will become clogged with
dust and powder and other make
up and the first thing you know an
unlovely crop of pimples will appear.
Some women who have tender
skin will not use soapy face cloth.
They fear that the skin will be irri-
tated and redeemed. Tender skinned
women should use only the suds
of the soap, applied with the palms
of the hands and thoroughly rinsed
off with clear warm and cold water
splashings.
The complexion brush and liquid
soap are necessary in the care of an
oily complexion. They should be
used at least every other day. A
face cloth and soap are sufficient
for the between days. Select brush
with pristles not too soft nor too
stiff. You do not want to rip the
skin as you scrub, but you do want
to get deep into the pores to remove
all the CRIME.
A chilled astringent is good to use
after the face shampoo and if you
will squeeze cucumber, skin and
all, you will find the juice a splendid
oily skin astringent. 1t will do
much to beautify your skin and to
keep it cool looking during the
torrid days.
Many of the leading cosmetic
firms offer bottle of grains" for
skin cleansing These are granu-
lar bits of soap which are rubbed
over the skin after it has been
washed, or they may be stirred
into mush and used as a face
pack or as soap. They meet the
great need of deep pore cleansing
and are excellent in the treatment
of whiteheads or blackheads. They
may be used once a week on dry,
normal or oily compilations. They
are too rough for the tender skin.
The soap you use should be intel
ligently selected from the numerous
makes on the market. During the
last four years some very efficacious
soaps have made their appearance
and some of the finer older soaps
have grown in popularity. A good
soap is bland, and despite other
opinion I feel even the oily skinned
girl should use bland soap-not
an astringent mixture.
I have known cases of complexion
rash to disappear with a change OF
facial soap. Highly perfumed soaps,
except for the bath, are bit risky,
for whether you know it or not your
skin may be slightly allergic to the
essence used to scent the soap.

soap If you will tell her which
skin problem you have. Inclose

I'm worried to death about Lorry.
She is stealing my cigarettes and
smoking them and I can't stop her.
I've even spanked her, a big girl
like her. But it does no good"
Where do you keep the ciga-
rettes?"
"On the living room table, in plain
sight. I don't believe in hiding from
her the fact that smoke. Why
should II"
"You smoke in front Of her, don't
you9"
"Of course. Why not?"
"She is your daughter. She thinks
what you do is about right. If it
weren't right you wouldn't do it..
If it we're a dumb thing to do you
wouldn't be doing it, because you are
smart. She has perfect faith in
your being the very right kind of
person to be. So she copies your
habits, the bad as we'll as the good"
What can I do about it?"

have done So
why must do thing like thai?
She's a child. She ought to obey"
You are her mother. You should
set her the example you want her
to follow"
"I'd be terribly uncomfortable
without smoke"
"It would be a great sacrifice?"
Terrible"
Jaua -
well, do smoke. Yes, suppose
I love to smoke"
And it would hurt you to stop?"
Eyes, it would make me very un-
comfortable"
You'd hate to be so uncomfort-
able, I suppose?"
Certainly would"
But you don't think 1t would be
hard for the girl to stop, do you?
You don't think she would feel un-
comfortable?"
Often the behavior we deplore in
children is reflection of our own.
We are their pattern. What we
praise. they become; what we do,
they faithfully follow. II what we
do leads them astray the first step
should be our own reformation. If
the behavior is so little an error
that 1t demands no reform on our
part. why bother about it when we
see it reflected in a child? And if
that reflection troubles our con-
science, is it little?
These are questions that parents
must answer for themselves. One
mans way is another's impossibility
Each must decide his own argu-
ments in his own way, and he must
carry the responsibility for them.
But one cannot overlook the facts.
Children follow their parents lead.
They ought not to command chill
dren to obey their words when their
actions speak so much louder.
