Gardenias ever sma'rt bloom anew in .different colorings- and fabrics. And they go in pairs. A twin cluster may combine one of a lustrous material, and another in a dull fabric but in the same color but suggesting a shaded toning. Chartreuse is combined with brown, or a yellow gardenia is worn with one in chartreuse for contrast. Felt flowers are especially nice for sports and to wear on tailored tweeds for town. A flat felt car nation shadowing from pink to deep coral with green foliage fa shown together with a felt clus ter combining green and beige felt leaves. u Three carnations in the sunny shades, namely lime yellow, orange and tangerine, are among the newest posies of artificial genre to wear now for a glimmer of tropleai sunshine on the dark winter coat. Some of the new boutonnleres are not flowers at all, but rather are they small clusters, of fruits. In the present vogue for orange It Is bnt natural that the fruit In replica supply this tonch of color. Command to be Smart As Real Need of Nature Do we not all realise that to day the command to be smart means more than the mere reflec tion of personal vanity? Indeed, If we are at all modern,, we see It as a deep biological necessity a challenge that bids us make the most of each point of beauty; to minimize every handicap. From the style we once know as a matter of clothes we have ad vanced to a broader understanding that extends; to. mcessories, em bracing all those small essentials from the kerchief to the perfume, the handbag to vanity compacts even the cream-jars upon the mod ern dressing table. ' And today tho exquislteness of the complexion the correct make up for the individual type are as Indispensable to the smart woman as Is the chle of her costume. Our attitude toward the use of cosmetics is not a frivolous one by any means. It Is most scientific And it is In this spirit that I offer these suggestions to the woman who would be in vogue: First and always a healthy skin is the most fashionable skin and the first step in this direc tion is thorough cleansing. Super ficial use of soap and water is not desirable. We must use a good penetrating cream that will dig down to the bottom of the pores and cleans them thoroughly a cream free from alkali and soluble In water to permit washing the dirt completely away Instead of rubbing it in as by the wiping method. Cold water Is nature's own as tringent. Use It freely to stimulate circulation and bring the glow of health to the cheeks. And do not I beg of you clog the pores with a powder base.s It Isn't necessary if the face is'thoroughly clean. On the matter of makeup, choose carefully the shade of rouge and lipstick, having regard not only for your own coloring, but for Jthe costume as well. Each color has its complement In complexion tones. You will want one shade to wear with brown, another for green a very different tone for red. These and kindrew niceties are of supreme importance, if you would be fashionable in the mod ern sense which is not content with mere smartness of the cos tumebut demands perfection of the whole. . i Amazing Low Price for FASTER-CLEANER WASHING vAtJi the New AGITATOR 10 Important Advantages otfread - T Ti wr parts than any tbc market.

Fitting Scene as One is First Ushered Into Room Abbreviated table linens have been with cs just long enough to make welcome a change In the other direction the new linen damask sets with full length cloths and napkins large enough, as one man aptly puts it, "to stay where they're put." We see in the movement a re turn to tables that are not only decorative and colorful, but dig nified In the manner of the fine old tables that grace! Sheraton and Adam dining rooms, and to more comfortable settings for Spanish and Italian tables. In this harking back to the at mosphere and decors of the glam orous past, no happier note has been struck than that of relieving the austerity of the Spanish dining room with a hospitable cloth of shining linen damask, the table illustrated shows us. Here, in exchange for a bare.' monastic board,' we hare one soft- ened by a full-sized clcth in one of the newer patterns In feeling with this type of decoration.. The simplicity of the setting, with its cool walls, stoutly carved chairs, wrought iron candlesticks and nymph centerpiece is decidedly restful; the generous cloth an im pressive symbol of serious and discriminating feasting. if; u3 Well done! Artistically com plete!" we say In a large way as we enter the perfectly appointed room. But rarely do we stop to analyze the decorative secret which more often -than not lies in the background of color and design that set the stage for furniture and accessories. Did we but know 't, this rule of home-furnishing offers ns hot only the easiest but the least ex pensive method of Introducing beauty, since for most of us the major furnishings of the room cannot be disposed of to humor a desire for change. If we are to have something different, the fresh viewpoint must be estab lished by rearranging the same pieces against a new background; by icrfsjlng corners ft I character wherein Interesting groups bring new friendliness to the room. PALE TIXTS USED In the photograph one has a perfect demonstration of what can be done along this line. Starting with a foundation of beige carpet and pieces upholstered in electric blue, the decorator has worked put a delightful background through the use of pale terra cot ta tints for the walls and sun fast chintz draperies showing a peach and terra cotta pattern upon a pale blue-green ground. For over curtains she has chosen a very fine net in a lighter terra cotta shade, and made the curtains to hang In full, straight folds across the entire glass. In the corner the quaint 18th Century cupboard was built to conceal an ugly jutting pier, the outside being painted the same color as the walls; the lining of the cupboard in greenish blue to provide a striking background for a colelction of Chinese semi-precious stone figures and bowls. Without the inspiring color of its walls and draperies this setting would have little appeal al though a! of its pieces of urfniture are of exquisite quality. And so we learn a lesson In decoration and one which hints of possibili ties for eevry room in the house. In selecting fabrics for' draper ies and slip-covers this season we will want to remember one other point: First, last and always col or and pattern and good wearing qualities shoura -determine your chbice. In the room illustrated simple and Inexpensive materials have been used for the window treatment, although j th(M fcphol stered pieces are covered with costly brocatelle and velvet. In this case the budget was in no wise restricted, the choice being made purely for its color harmony and design and to provide sunfast fabric at the windows. There are countless delightful Patterns to be found among these materials fadeless silks and hand-blocked linens, chintz and cretones in shades and designs adapted to furnishings of eery period. And if one is at all handy the making may be done at home and the transformation of the room achieved at a substantial saving. "J 5. Smart as theNew.
