the chance are ehe wouldn't do any
thing that anybody told her to do
much less obey a Billy old shake! We
cannot help but regard Eve with ap
proval. She designed the apron, that
moat perfect and simplified of ajl f em

more substantial, the style has re
mained perfectly good.

robe Is wholly suggestive of useful
ness and domestic servitude, and yet
at a skirt drapery of the modes of
1916 tt Is wholly ornamental. It is
for effect only, and is without doubt
a definite product of the Interest in
Breton styles that have thrived and
gloried now for a number of months.
Aprons have developed naturally,
either as abbreviated tablters or as
extended peplums. An Idea comes Into
the world of fashion, and there It wa
vers, first to one thing, then to an
other. It is like one theme running
along through numberless variation"
in a great orchestration.. Bo It is with
this apron notion. It has been every
thing but Itself, and now it Is that.
Three exploitations of the prevailing
style ornament this page, designed to
gladden the human eye and inspire
the budding couturlere to sartorial
promlHes and purposes. The lady in
the central picture stands proudly ar
rayed in the gala attire of an apron
that is simulated, the effect being
achieved by the clever use of ruffles,
lifting up from the -fide of the skirt
very flutlngly toward the back, form
ing a bustle frill above which Is a
high girdle of silk in Roman stripe de
sign. The original model from which
the sketch was made was mulberry
color pussy willow. The bodice of
moussellne de sole has nothing more
decorative upon ft than an upstanding
frill of tulle. The apron and the gir
dtare all the dud, or most of It; and
Quite enough, since they bear the
cachet of the moment and the times.
Demuristr? Indeed, If not more so,
ia little Miss Trim on the left, she of
the downcast eyes and the Impertinent
nose. Her mode befits the frock she
wears, wlthlts sleeves of chiffon, its
untrlmmed skirt of apricot faille. Its-
Prlscilla bouquet of old fashioned
rnaaa mart nf hit a of allk unit out
together by the hands of an artist
and Its fichu drapery. This frock Is
unusual for Its simplicity. The apron
"vofthe original model bore a ruchette
about its tablier formed outline, but
the artist omitted that as being unde
sirably "fussy." To fuss or not to
fuss Is considerable question. A lot
do, and others "doesn't."
More decorative and more festive is
the girl person on the right. She also
ia aproned, and elaborately aproned at
that. The material of the frock is
king's blue faille. The embroidery Is
done In rust color. There Is not only
an apron but a little bib over It, and
bib and tucker go over no, not a
blouse, my child, but a little jacket!
It Is as If the lady had become con
fused in her dressing, putting oh the
wrong thing first, and then, forsooth,
lapping the wrong thing on over that!
What will you. PaulettaT You urge
for novelty? Well, yes; here, then,
you have it.
Moreover, there Is an apron at the
back ae well a at the front.
Why not?
.The peasant waist a prim, rather
fltless thing and almost seamless
prevails with a popularity that Is pos
itively stubborn. It in the most ap
propriate companion piece for the full
kirt, and In the soft surfaced taffetas
It drapes very nicely. The double col
lar Is a rather new note, and it is
pretty. The under collar is df- the
taffeta, the upper one is of ellk of
a lighter shade, or It Is of organdie
or even broadcloth. Serge trims some
taffeta gowns. Basque frills cannot
' be resisted, and they are going to re
main fast and strong during the sum
mer. Except on evening frocks, the
belt amounts to almost nothing. On
the tailleur a good belt Is really made
of two narrow ones, which may dis
solve Into one according to Its own
sweet wish. There are, also, strango
and intricate folded over effects that
' cause a celnture to look not unlike a
Jigsaw puzzle.
Among the tulle costumes the most
whimsical trimmings show up. Funny
little florette designs are embroidered
. on, or painted, and all kinds of arti
ficial blooms transform a gown Into
a sartorial .garden. It Is certainly a
' day of the la-la-la and the fluff -fluff.
-Enormous ruches of white tulle are
worn on frocks of taffeta In pastel
tones and they are decidedly poster
like and stunning. A bizarre model
from the Malson Bulloi la of white
net, the skirt and bodice made as
straight up and down as they can be
-. made, with a huge neck ruchette of
black tune placed about the neck, and
a companion ruchette laid about the
waist. Does. It give bulk? Does It?
Well, somewhat, if not more so. But
the strangest note of the frock was
found In the sleeves, that were
trimmed to a state of fuss and flutter
that made them the most intricate of
; designs. Skirts and sleeves, as a rule,
are overtrlmmed; bodices are not
trimmed at all.

NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT
By Dame Curtsey.
Spring luncheons and spring flowers
are a delightful combination and there
have been some charming affairs
given for brides and near brides. At
one of recent date apple blossoms were
used. A email but very sweetly tuned
music box was the centerpiece, liter
ally covered with a mound of apple
blossoms. When luncheon was an
nounced there was "music in the air"
and the guests found their places by
cards decorated with apple blossoms
done in water colors and a bar or
two of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song"
done In glltt across the top. The favors
were candy boxes In the shape of mu
sical instruments and the hostess said
she hoped her guests were "sweetly
attuned." The home at which this
pretty luncheon was given was in the
country and after the repast all re
paired, to the orchard and gathered
blossoms which they took home.
At another spring party the table
was laid out like a formal garden
with stiff little trees taken from
"Noah's arks" and purchased at the
favor department, as were the gilded
garden tools. Wild flowers were used
In toy wheelbarrows. As a pastime
the hostess used some of the flower
guessing contests that have appeared
in our department from time to time.
She had made the card on which the
questions were written in the shape
of flower pots, the outside ' being
painted to represent a potted plant.
The prizes were brown baskets of
spring flowers. The ice cream was
served inTlower pots and the salad In
turnip cases. As It was made of
vegetables, this was most appropriate
Tnlqne rlower Luncheon.
The hostess asked ten guests to
come to luncheon, each wearing a
flower (either real or artificial) to
represent a country. The flowers
were all typically springlike, being
daffodils, narcissus and hyacinths.

I modfcs of treatment for hair, and upon
giving the necessary advice have met
the response. "Oh, you don't know my
hair.''- To be sure. I know many heads
of hair and their peculiarities, that
I each one has Its own and requires a
special treatment.
For instance, hair that Is inclined to
be oily and sticky need not be brushed
very frequently, but should be washed
once each week. Hair that is dry and
brittle should be brushed twice each
day in order to bring up the oil from
the roots to lubricate the hair.
Fine delicate hair should be brushed
once each day and care should be taken
In any and all cases to comb out the
hair from the roots to the ends With
! a coarse comb, getting out all the
snarls before the brush touches tne
hair.
One voung woman complained that
brushing caused her hair to breait on.
UDon Inquiry I learned that she never
took the trouble to comb out her nair
before using a stiff brush upon it.
Naturally the brush took in a quantity
of hair and by forcing it through the

Floor wax is usually made of a
mixture of beeswax, paraffin and tur
pentine. Beeswax was formerly used
alone for floors, but It is harder to

A waxed floor is a satisfaction, for
It look well with comparatively little

Miss O. M. asks: "I have pimples,
oily skin, and suffer from constipa
tion, headache, and never feel strong

Answer: You should overcome con
stipation and cleanse th system of
accumulated poisons by taking three
grain sulperb tablets (not sulphur) for
several weeks or more. These tablets
are very beneficial, especially in hot
weather, as the have a tendency to
cool the blood and Improve Its quality.
