The present trend of shions is to design specially for the out-of-town woman, so that her clothes will do duty for an occa-: sional trip to town and yet be quite in keeping with her rustic surroundings at home, and if great care is given to the initial choice of such clothes it will save a good deal of money and inconvenience, because really well-chosen clothes can be worn for many years.

In some stores now are sprays which send forth a cloud of talcum powder-instead of scent. There is probably nothing as luxurious! as a huge puff for this purpose, but if you are hurrying them the talcum spray is certainly a time- -saver, and it leaves no residue of powder on the bathroom floor.
