And how charming they are is difficult to convey in cold black and white. The most beautiful curing fabric for autumn. The three- tains are fashioned in this material, and since in these days everything must match something else, the curtains are made to match bed spreads of the same delicate fabric, I saw such a set in most delicate green, with appliqué work and em- broidery in pastel shades. The draping qualities are unmatched, or if the curtains are allowed, to hang straight, they hang in luscious

folds.

'Linen Sets Too,

But if you should feel that sete of bilk are something of an extra- vagance, you can carry out the matching idea with, perhaps, more Economy in pastel-shaded linen.

Not only are there curtains and bedspread en suite, but the idea is carried still further with the in- clusion of cushion cover, cover for

the bedside table, duchess table set, and breakfast set, consisting of tray cloth, tea cosy, egg cosy, and table napkins, all to match.

Naturally, the linen is of the sun- prodf; wash-proof variety, so that a set of this kind in good linen would last, countless years. Women who are clever with their needles and have artistic, ability could, ei course, buy the linea and create furnishing of this kind for them selves. Though, methinks, it would take a great deal of time and patience,

BEAUTY HINTS.

A very large number of those who are now on their holidays will find that they have more time than usual to spend upon themselves. Let me suggest that some of this time be spent in taking steps to make the hands beautiful, and as some hands will need much more attention than others, it is well to begin when the maximum amount of care and time can be given to

work.

There are thousands of girls who

manicure their own hands and do not attend beauty parlours, and these are the people who are likely to be interested in some new pro- cedure. We must remember that the art of manicure is still in its infancy, and operators differ among themselves as to the proper method of doing the work.

Manicura Procedure. Nevertheless, among these varied operations and treatments we can get a clear line of manicure pro- cedure which runs something like the following:-

Clean off all the old polish by asing a ittle acetone, or amyl acetate. -amall bottle of either of these "nail polish removers can be bought for a few pence at aby chemist's shop. Then begin the filing of the nails, using a long, flexible steel file about six to eight inches long.

For preference, file along the under side of the nails and begin operations at the sides, working towards the centre, at the top at the nail. Clean off the rigged edges by using an emery board. Then place the hands in warm,. soapy water.

Shape of the Nails,

The nails of very thin figures should not be shaped too much to A point, since this would make them look longer still; but short, stumpy fingers are often improved by filing the nails away at the sides to a point at the top. "Now shape is a matter of taste, but it appears to. be rather bad taste to make the nails so very pointed as to look. like claws.Nails which present Buch an appearance will often denote a person more doll-like " than practical.

Nails should be "shaped to con- form to the shape of the finger, so that the most common form will be almond shaped with a blunt projec tion in the centre just over the end of the finger.

Cuticle Care.

After the fingers have been soak ed in warm, soapy water to which little powdered borax should be added, we are ready to begin the cleansing operations and attɔnd to the cuscle

The cuticle will probably need a fair amount of attention, and it may be necessary to use a steel in strument called a "cuticle-pusher to lesen the cuticle from the pail and push it back so that the moon. shaped crescent at the base of the nail may be distinctly seen.

"Polishes and Enamels,

Bleach the nails, if necessary with a little hydrogen peroxide of lemon juice, then wash and dry to make ready for the polish of enamel.

Special nail enamels which are tinted a delicate shell pink are easy to apply, and give a brilliant finish. without the use of any burnisher. For thesd reasons they have become so popular.

The right food is milk. Nothing will take the place of milk in the food of a baby. "Lactogen" is full-cream milk-extra good milk -milk with all the vitamins of milk!

That's why in nur series, hospitals, and clinics "Lactogen" is winning such a splendid name.
