Those which are to be kopi are then eleaned and inken round to the new hanie a day or two before the move; the others can be collected by the dust- man or seat off to a saleroom in good
time.

BECOME "KITCHEN- CONSCIOUS"
FEW years ago the bathroom
was the "pat" of the house, the room to which much thought was given and on which much money was expended in decora- tion.
Now the kitchen has usurped this foremost pince in the home-owner's affections. Everyone is kitchen con- scious now. Every gadget, every bit of furniture and every, utensil must not only do its work well but must be "good to look on" into the bargain.
A short time ngo leisured house- wlves left the buying of kitcher utensils and so on to their amals or cook-boys. Now the mistress of the house herself inspects and orders them, and knows a good deal about their working, too. Perhaps that is why everything connected with the kitchen is so attractive to the eye these days.

Fringes are Fashionable
HREADED through satin, fringes give the effect of Chinese embroideries and are an original interpretation of the Oriental spirit pervading many of the fashions this season.
Our artist hins sketched one of the newest ways of cheering up a style that is too plainly tailored.
Another way of utilising fringe is to give a tunte effect from the waist, or to make the lower half of aleeves entirely of fringe attached to a tight wristband. Fringe across the neckline gives a dressy note tu styles that would otherwise go undecorated.
An original iden is to have your belt of different coloured fringes, with bag and scarf trimined to match, Elving an individual an unusual note to a costume.
