WOMAN’S INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR HOMEMAKERS
Kings Of Old Still Are
Dictators Of Fashion
Fashion period dock—how fan des of monarch* hav dictated
itylea through tho age*.
BY' MARIAN HALF
"No fashion come* out of the air”
This from Ethel Traphagen. who
won Drat prize In the international
contest in design in 1913, and is one
of New York's foremost authorities
on design.
"Most fashions.” Miss Traphagen
says, “can be traced to a past period
and the whim of some member of
the royal family—often that mem
ber was a man and the fashion dic
tator his paramour.
B “The present mood Is an adapta
W tlon of the lines of the fourteenth
century.
"The fourteenth century was a
period of transition. In the very
early days the ordinary dress of
women was much like the habit Sis
ters or Charity now wear.
Medieval Flappers
"Gradually that was changed
until it reached the long-lined,
loosely girdled apparel now in
vogue.
"In 1461 women found their waist
lines.
"And,” Miss Traphagen went on,
"finding their waistlines started a
sort of craze for curves and points
so we find the dunce cap in evi
dence as a quite proper head dress.
“It was during the sixteenth cen
tury. while Louis XIV was on the
throne, that the most radical and
important changes came.
"Corsets appeared, dresses were
strongly stayed and hips were built
out over strong.* wide frames.

Birth of lonoi.
“Louis XIV was young. He loved
beauty. The story is that one of
his court favorites, a woman with
a beautiful face was quite deformed
about the nips. In order to hide the
defect, and yet achieve an effect of
loveliness, the lady began the fash
ion of the very small, stayed waist
and hip frames.
"The bouffant dancing frocks of
our present debutantes aro an echo
of this.
‘The Fontanges head dress was
also a fancy of Louis XIV. It was
during a fete that a young woman
caught her hair on the branch of a
tree. In order to hold the disar
ranged locks in place the young
woman removed her lace garter and
put it around her head with tier
curls puffing loosely out about it.
“Louis liked it and said her hair
.should always be worn that way!
Silks Come In
“Madamo Pompadour and Mad
ame DuBarry, favorites of the court
of Louis XV, brought In .1 period of
fancy silks. extremely bouffant
skirts, small waists and general
ornateness.
‘It was not until the eighteenth
century that the wives of royalty
had any Influence on fashion.
“In the unhappy period which fol
lowed the latter part of the eight
eenth century clothing became more
severe and then appeared the tail
ored suit.
"So everything we have in fash
ion now." Miss Traphagen says, “is
traceable to some part of a past
century.”

Is yours on upto-datc medicine

In every home a few first-aid ma

that they be kept in a cabinet as
otherwise they would get lost or be
unavailable in time of need.
The following drugs and materials
are suggested for the up-to-date
home medicine cabinet;
Alcohol, two ounces.
Aromatic spirits of ammonia (rub
ber cork) two ounces.
Castor oil, two ounQps, two bot
tles.
Seldlits powders. 12 In box.
Mustard, powdered, two ounces.
Sirup of ginger, two ounces.
Sirup if ipecac, two ounces.
Five-grain bismuth subnitrate tab
lets, SO in bottle.
Carbolated petrolatum, one tube.
Boracic acid, one ounce.
One bottle soda mint tablets, SO
in bottle.
beled poison.
One small package antiseptic
gauze.
One tin talcum powder.
One-quarter pound absorbent cot

Two Red Cross first aid outfits.
One small bottle collodion with

One box tooth plasters.
One box corn plasters.
One sharp knife.

In such a cabinet should be plac

for only a particular case of illness,
they may bo dangerous for anything
else. . —

FOR THE JUNE BRIDE
(Center) Jade green crepe Rom a in negligee, from Miller. Paris, ornamented with steel nail heads. The
two slips (on either aide) which combine are combinations of fillet anl duchess and fillet and rose point.
Ill 51AK1AS H.UiK
Brides and an array of bridal
finery. Such is the traditional com
bination. The approach of June
would be quite as colorless without
the flurry of wedding preparations
as it would be without the promise
of its roses.
The woiId of bridal appointment
is athriil and aflutter with new ideas,
new fabrics, new designs. Lovelier
than ever.
Designers, with fertile brain and
lavish hand, have turned their at
tention to garments Intended for
hours of relaxation.
First, what of colors? Paris and
America agree that the bridal neg
licee shall be as light in tint as it is
in weight. Leave the deep, rich
tones and black to the matrons.
Colors
Jade green, rose of a pale ash tint,
mauve and white are good.
With trimming, the June bride
may go as far aa she likes; however,
some of the cleverest of gowns de
signed for hours of rest are quite
plain.
For the slip worn directly under
the wedding gown fashion censors
offer fillet combined with rose point
or duchess lace.
With the demands which must be
made upon it by the wearing of
various types of gowns and suits the
bride who cannot be lavish in her
expenditures finds that part of her
planning which deals With under
garments no simple thing.
The well outfitted bride, who can
spend only moderately, must have
groups of half dozens, at least.
tier ilium
Knickers should not be considered
for the summer wardrobe. Knowing
this, but realising the value of the
trimness of that type of undergar
ment, manufacturers have given us
a garment of glove silk with a
knlcker top and loose knee.
There should be two pairs of these
with the trim vests which accom
pany them for the bridal outfit.
These, of course, are for wear with
tailored clothing demanding the flat
back which is to be even more pro
nounced this fall and winter than it
is now.
Voile is an excellent fabric for the
three combinations to be worn under
fluffier frocks for afternoon and
strictly summer wear. For the sixth
suit, a part of the weddtng outfit
proper, the bride may let her fancy
deal as it will with silks and ribbons.
There should be at least six
camisoles, preferably white. One
white silk crepe and one dark silk
petticoat is plenty in this petticoat
less day.
Of stockings there should be a
KIPPY—Like the Frogs Eye
brows—nat and nice.
LALA PAZAZA—A good sport.
LAMP POST—Any noticeable
piece of jewelry.
LENS-LOUSE—A person given
to monopolizing the conversation.
LOB—A dumb trick.
LOLLYGAGGER—A Bell-Polisher
addicted to hallway spooning.
LOVE NESTLER—Flapper with
unkempt bobbed hair.
LOW LID—The opposite of a

Valley of tlx- Circus
The seventh valley was called the
Valley of the Circus.
"There isn't a bit of use in me
trying to tell you not to stay here."
said the dove who was guiding
them. "One might just as well tell
a fish to stay out of the w ater."
"Why?” asked Nancy.
‘ Because a circus stays here,
when it isn't traveling around the
earth," answered the dove. "And

And Nancy, who also had resolved
