GIRDLES ARE LEGION
CHOICE OF DESIGN IS LEFT TO
THE INDIVIDUAL.
Many Are So Voluminous That They
Might Almost Be Termed Bodices—
Worn With Every Kind
of Gown.
A girdle leads this year as excit-
ing a life as a Dumas novel, and it
is surprising to see how many ad-
ventures it runs through in the course
of a trip up Fifth avenue, writes a cor-
respondent. In one window you see
a gown whose skirt, composed of
flounces of lace, is topped by taffeta
panniers joined to a girdle reaching
up high under the armholes, and in
this way dismissing any anxiety about
a bodice. In the next you see a lin-
gerie gown whose girdle is divided
in the center by a cord, which division
results in a half-bodice and a whole
peplum.
Going down a few doors you find a
suit of white serge whose bolero jack-
et is extended into ends which cross
in front and meet behind with jaunti-
est effect of a real girdle. Right be-
hind it there is a white crepe gown
whose bustle drapery of Roman
striped silk is effected frankly by ty-
ing the ends of the silk material in
front in such a way that its loops fall
over the hips.
There is a strong tendency toward
the girdle which extends both above
«nd below the hips in picoted scallops,
and there is an even more pronounced
impulse toward the taffeta tunic fall-
ing from a ceinture expanded into full-
est use of a bodice.
Everywhere—in tailored suit and
lingerie frock and evening gown, the
girdle is pre-eminent. Blouses, for in-
stance, achieve distinction, perhaps,
merely through the agency of a deep
Roman striped girdle, and there come
the smartest ciJintures of black moire
with ruching both above and below.
Nor does this item of the toilet re-
fuse the role of waistcoat. Sometimes,
indeed, the belt has two jaunty little
points and a double row of buttons
which puts the suit at once into a
waistcoat mood.
In evening gowns this once restrict-
ed area has expanded both above and
below, until, as in the case of one
evening gown seen recently, it tight-
ly swathed the hips and made the two
deep flounces of the skirt seem like a
mere postscript to the original
thought.
With such license as this it is easy
to dwell upon the prospect of a day
when we shall say: "What kind of a
skirt and sleeves am 1 going to wear
with my silk girdle?"
HEALTH AND BEAUTY
When you breathe deeply your mus-
cles gradually strengthen, your eyes
glow like twin stars, your chest be-
comes full and rounded and your pale
cheeks are stained a vivid red.
You can save your hands from get-
ting stained if you will let your pota-
toes soak in cold water with a little
soda in it for a few moments before
you start scraping them.
Nervous headaches are a common
complaint among women, and if a doc-
tor is not consulted the best treat-
ment is simply to keep the patient in
bed and allow nothing at all to come
near her which might worry her. All
troubles should be kept away and per-
fect quiet preserved until the over-
wrought nerves resume their natural
condition.
Needlewomen who suffer from damp
hands will find it is an excellent plan
to rub the palms of the hands occa-
sionally with a solution of borax in a
little alcohol. When sewing, keep a
sponge saturated with the solution
ready at hand and occasionally
squeeze it in the palm of the hands,
illowing the moisture to dry without
wiping.
SIMPLE FROCi;
The color scheme is white and vivid
blue on a black ground; the sash, tied
in a loose knot at the back, Is of vivid
blue charmeuse. The material is
striped taffeta.
GIVE "FINISH'" TO COSTUME
Art of Dressmaker Shown in the
Pretty Touches That Adorn the
Models Most Popular.
While tailors use pique for com-
pleting gowns and coats, dressmakers
prefer sheerest lingerie effects for
furnishing walking or home dresses.
A very pretty one is in white crepon,
the skirt trimmed round above the
knees with colored Russian embroid-
ery, and the short coat embroidered
to match round all its outlines. The
fronts do not meet, but leave visible
those of an elaborate blouse and a
narrow blaok velvet belt.
Very pretty, too, is a white crepon
with two deep gathered flounces at
the waist in spotted crepon, also white.
The waistcoat, deep collar and wide
cuffs are In the spotted crepon, the
color of the spots being sapphire blue.
The belt is made of the plain crepon,
gathered very closely and edged with
cord.
Colored Linings for White Negligee.
When the summer girl is going
a-visitlng and wants more than one
negligee for the sake of a change of
color, she will flnd that the cheapest
way to manage Is to make two or
three slips of silk muslin or China
silk, or chiffon, as her pocketbook will
admit, and wear different coats with
them of sheer embroidery or lace.
This is a good suggestion for a sum-
mer bride. Make two or three colored
linings and have the over-negligees of
white, which cftn be laundered when
necessary.
White Furs.
White fur on black velvet gowns
or on white velvet, chiffon or lace
frocks is very fashionable at the mo-
ment, and it reminds one a little of
that quaint style of trimming with
swansdown which was in vogue many
years ago. Certainly on evening
dresses the soft white fox has a
charming effect

Mme. Joire, the Paris dressmaker,
Was talking about the complicated
draperies of the new spring gowns.
"They're very hard to put on and
take off," she said. "Husbands curse
them. I know a husband who groaned
one night after the theater.
" 'Hooks and eyes like these must
have been invented by the devil for
man's undoing.'"

but she couldn't have cooked
the Indian Corn, rolled and
toasted it to a crisp brown,

They arc delicious with
cream or milk, or sprinkled
over fresh fruit or berries.

never touched by human
