FASHION.

When Paris took up with enthusiasm the wearing, of black, there sprang up almost immediately with it, or very shortly afterwards, the black and white design for day and evening wear. At the present black and white is all the fashion and the combination appears to grow in popularity because black or black and white forma s very dignified background for large patterns.

There are some very pretty ready made dresses in the stores and a large variety from which to make a choice: The Sign of the Lantern" has not only a number of beautiful evening gowns but also pretty house dresses, mor- ang frocks and sport dresses.

The Dressing Table,

Numerous things are required to make the complete dressing table. One of the first and most necessary assets is the perfume. It is difficult to say what kinda of perfume a woman should nee as it is almost as much, a question of our per-

II, she does not like the idea of applying oil, she should brush a few drops of brillantine into her hair. Bay rum should be liberally massaged into the hair if it is greasy, before the water-waving is com- menced and the hair well-brushed and sprinkled with a few drops of the pre. paration.

To Apply the Comba.

Two pairs of water-waving combs, should be ample to wave the whole head. Take an ordinary dressing comb first and dip it into water, shake it out to remove any excessive moisture. Pass it through the hair, dip it again, if necessary, and then comb the hair until it is all damp.

Slip in the water-waving combs. Where you place them must depend upon the way you arrange your hair. For hair that is combed straight back from the forehead one comb should be in the centre of the head to give a wave across the front, and the other fixed on either side. Draw the hair up in a light loop, before putting in the comb, and pinch it into shape. Then when all the hair-combe and pins have been put in position, either put a piece "of veiling around the head, or slip on à Shingle net till it is time to remove the pins or comba

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Inkspots Again,

Last time I gave a recipe to remove inkstains after the material has been washed. Only recently I heard a good way of removing inkstains before the material has been touched with water. It was told by a mother- who had great. trouble with the inkstains her daughter: had in her dresses on her return from school.

One takes the leaves of the cover and rubs the leaves on the inkstain until the ink comes out. Then the and the inkstain dress is washed in the ordinary waY is gone. The same recipe can be used to remove inkatains from a carpet.

The once sofashionable bolero used to be worn with the short waist line. Now it is being reviewed with the long waist-line. One of our sketches shows a dress with a bolero. The bodice of the dress may be of white, blue or any colour with which the stripes would harmonize; the holero is of the same material sa the skirt. This combination of dress and balera comes in useful for sports wear. An evening dress with the large pat tern for the slim figure is shown in our third sketch. It has the low neckline which is one of fashion's features this

season.
