Scarves arc extraordinarily popular. They are even arriving at the stage where our hats are again made to match them.

FIRST AID FOR A BURN.

No home should be without a bottle of carron oil, that most invaluable dressing for barna. It is quite easy to make by mixing equal parts of lime water and raw linseed oil.

Bead pouch bags are still sought after, but they are no longer distinguished by pastel shuded patterns.

VERSATILE AND MODERN SEMI-DRESS FOR UNIMPORTANT AFFAIRS.

Very spring-like is the two-piece costume of white silk crepe, with the blouse em- broidered in Chinese medallions and a skirt of white silk crepe with inverted pleats. The printed frock pictured flaunts yellow, red, green and lavender towers, and has no trimming except the lavender crepe de chine which edges the blouse and forms a tie at the neck and the soft wide girdle knotted in front. Printed and plain crepes are combined in the model. with the skirt of bright red silk crepe with tiered sides and back, with blouse of white ponger embroidered in red, yellow and green.

The one with the sash is of salmon pink embroidered in a grace- ful wheat design, Hand embroidered scallops finish the skirt and a large picture hat of roso straw, is an ideal choice of millinery.
