It is as if, following in the foot- steps of streamline frocks and furniture devoid of every scrap of unnecessary ornament, faces must rely solely on the structural for- mation for their interest,

AT EVE'S

Eve's little washing dresses are selling well; as not only being cheap they are snappy too. In case any of our readers are look-

THE SPLIT SKIRT

Combs should not be washed in hot water. A daily dry-clean is better than infrequent washing They should be well brushed with a small, wire brush or stiff nail- brush, and rinsed in cold water. Another method is to pass a thread through the teeth. Brushes also should be dry-cleaned when- ever possible: a little flour, heated in the oven, sprinkled among the bristles, and then combed and shaken out, is an excellent clean- ser. When it is necessary to washing for pretty dresses at reasonable prices we suggest they look Eve the bristles, do it quickly in warm water to which a few drops of up. ammonia have been added. Then remove as ringe in cold water, much moisture as possible with a towel, and dry quickly in a warm place. Never wet the back of brushes, but polish them instead, remembering that different mate- rials need different treatment. Tortoise shell can be cleaned and polished with a litle fine whiten- ing or Jeweller's rouge. For ivory. dipa slice of lemon into salt, rub it on, rinse of, dry thoroughly. and then polish with a little furniture cream. Ebony should be rubbed with vaseline or olive oil, which should then be wiped off. Plain wooden backs should be polished with furniture cream. Silver can be polished with any silver polish, but tarnishes less "quickly if it is just washed with

borax and warm water."

ENHANCED CHARM

There are rare flowers that yield their precious breath to woman to enhance her charm, and most women have an intriguing row of scent bottles into which they dip as the fancy takes them..
