Choose one that gets a good share of shine at the time of day that you appreciate. If you want cheer- ing us in the morning. look for an raat room; If you e brightness at your window in the evening, pick one that looks westward.

When you have settled it, do re- member that each room in that col- verted house or black of flats is a self- contained home and ought to have all the privacy of a house with a garden and a sturdy front-door.

Do not develop the friendly but try ing habit of popping in izid unit of your neighbour's room and allowing: ber the same freedom in yours.

HOW TO OBTAIN

BEAUTIFUL SKIN.

A soft, smooth, unblemished skin- this surely in the desire of every woman. But frequently it happens that an otherwise pretty face is marred by pimples and blackheads; sun and wind, too, play havoe with delicate skin, causing chapped lips and other sores.

As a akin preservative there is nothing better than She-ko, a tra- grant, cooling, non-irritating oint- ment, specially devised for the curative treatment of the skin. lis antiseptic healing properties are also of great benefit in cases of eczema, ringworm, itch, wet and dry sores, and similar skin troubles. Also: for the first aid treatment of cuts, scratches, burns, scalda, bruises and other minor injuries, Obtainable from chemists everywhere.

URING the past month every fashion parade has had ita quota of fur coats; coats cut on fine new linea with unusual col- and Ines, tailored shoulders gracefully fitting swing backs.

They were yarying lengths, Cute ittle monkey Jackets with cut-away basques, three-quarter length swing-backs, and the new seven-eighths length with close- Atting line at the waist and hips.

There were on ones, too. In every type of fur, ranging in price from a few pounds.to several hundreds.

Now for the actual furs themselves. I will describe three or four I picked out at Swears and Wells, which will give you a basis of price guldance. For before buying a fur coat, make up your maid what amount you are able to spend and go for the best value.

To my mind a good mar- ntot is much better than a poor mink. And if you can't afford squirrel, go for dyed flank musquash, which., by the way, attracted me quite

It is often difeult to make a paper pattern adhere to the material when you are cutting out. Place the paper pattern rough side down on the material to be cut, and press with a moderately hot iron. No pins will then be needed and the cloth will not wrinkle.

Cat and dog hairs on your clothes, cushions and -ehnlr-sents are mont troublesome to remove by brushing. But they will all come out easily it you rub with a velvet pad. This re- moves every hair, yet they do not stlek to the velvet.

Stains on glass flower-vases, or water Jugs con be removed by shink- int a little vinegar and water in them.

To tie up parcels securely for the nost, clamp the string before using it. It will shrink as it dries and be much fighter than if used in the ordinary why.

Oranges are. sómelimes very hard to peel nicely. But if you soak them In boiling water for three or four minutes before peeling the white pith will come off caslly, leaving the frull perfectly clean and ready to slice. Removing Tight Stoppers.

Removing screw stoppers that have become stuck on bottles, often means hurt bands, and may even prove in- possible. An easy way to tackle them Is to hold them first under the hot and then the cóft tap. Then grasp the stopper with a piece of sand- paper and unscrew. Once open, rub a little olive oil round the threads of the screw to prevent it stleking again.

You can easily prevent the Jam from bolling out of a suet pudding, by spreading a thin layer of bread- crumba over the mixture before spreading on the jam.

Here is an easy way to cure a dripping tup. Turn it on to its fullest extent and place a few drops of Jubricating oil round the base of the handle. Then turn it off slowly.

Stamps which have been placed on the wrong envelope can easily be removed it a plece of wet blotting paper the same size is placed on the spot for a few moments,

You will find it easier to get a nice, clean edge when cutting out georgette. chiffon, and simtar aterials if you place your scissors in hot water for a few seconds before using then.
