Artistic Taste HOUSEHOLD linens are a point of particular pride with the clever and careful housewife and all home msrtcers share in coinmpn the desire for nice linens. There is a deal df satisfaction with the right thing in linens a satis faction inherited from pur mothers and they from their mothers. A year ago colored Tdamasks began to come freely, and now one may buy sheets and pillow" cases in soft pastel tints as well. ;-"V If you have chosen a maize yellow for hanging in one room, and have matched it in coverlets, you may want a pair of maize sheets to accompany them. For other rooms there are the dainty colors of rose, apple green, and a blue that suggests powder blue, but is lighter in tint. Bronze Damask for Background Matching or contrasting colors in damask is a fine oppor-1 tunity for the exercise of one s individual taste. Bronze damask makes an excellent background for certain tints in glass, gold flecked Venetian glass, wistaria, or the Burgun dy shades of red. v There are very good greens in damask, deep gold colors, rose and lavenders, too. The quality and sheen of damask seems to show a glow in the fabric that is not possible in other materials. The well-equipped linen closet will contain as many lovely table cloths with their napkins, as one's' purse per mits. Besides these, there are, alas, other table needs to think about. Bridge sets vary more than all else in" originality of de sign and the use of fabrics. One, may use the simplest type of fringed gingham, preferably large checks, or consider the innocent looking and dainty French appliques on handker chief linen; but the price of these, my dear, the price is sim ply terrible! Not many of us can afford fifty dollars for a bridge set. Not that the exquisite hand work isn't worth it, Oh, no but there are still other linen purchases to be made. About Breakfast Sets One must decide and choose dresser and buffet scarfs, or lace net if one prefers- Breakfast sets are indispensable and as varied as bridge sets. There are still embroidered linens for formal and informal luncheons to add. Another set of shelves in one's linen closet must be re served for the supply for the needs of the bath room. Color as gay and designs as fanciful as in a flower garden may decorate the once austere all-in-white room then, nothing but white could express cleanliness. Bath mats, face cloths and towels may match if one prefers. Then again each member of the home may have his favorite color. Even hand towels come in colors, and grow finer in each new season. Bankets and Coverlets When one is considering the supplies to run the home, one is apt to think of blankets and coverlets, t. Warmer, covers must be in readiness, as the cool season arrives. Shall you add a soft all-wool pair of blankets in wide stripes of pale pink or checks of lavender to your collection? Or do you think an additional great puff -covered in contrasting colors in satin will serve better? Shall you send to one of. the Southern states for a hand woven coverlet in an old Colonial pattern? ! Perhaps you are finishing a quilt of your own patch work. Not many seem to have time for that these days. ' days.

STROPPING IS ESSENTIAL TO THE tERFECT SHAVE ; i aire Is stropping q playful gesture to amuse you? Or has the new Valet AupoStr op Razor proved that there is a fundamental reason for stropping? YES, all barbers are insane so are other mill ions of men if stropping a blade to sharpen it is useless. feutyou know that every barber throughout the cxv tire world knows that he nuts strop before he shaves.

Three-button models will command most of the attention, although the two-button style wall get quite a play. As for materials tweeds, cheviots and twists will form the great majority. Naturally there will be some serges and worsteds, but these materials will form only a small part oi the total. Many With Extra Trousers In practically all instances an extra pair of trousers will accompany each suit.
