Have the work done, during the warm months. Mark Sanders Steamfitter Plumber Tinsmith North Main Street, Pleasantville. DOUBLE chins are said to disap pear almost as if by magic when subjected to treatment with a set of little rollers, which are being used here for the first time. There is a tiny ivory and tortoise shell roller for rubbing away superfluous flesh under the chin and smoothing out the wrinkles which have a provoking way of making themselves visible in every young woman’s face. This deli cate toilet accessory must be manip ulated with the utmost care. The set includes three rollers. Besides this one, which is the simplest of the three, •there is a roller somewhat larger, sup ;plied with a tortoise shell or amber handle and with four tiny ivory balls instead of the familiar cylinder. This quartette, working together, yet each having a rotary motion of its own, is •supposed to change flesh into thin air or something equally invisible. The (third in the set has two rollers, one being attached to each end of the tor toise shell handle. Each roller is de signed to work on a special part of ,the face. A key to the working plan is enclosed in each box with the set, so that the amateur will have no dif ficulty whatever in managing the lit tle cylinders and balls. And after she has learned the use of each she need not refer again to the chart. There is a delightful new face cleanser which is less harmful to the finer skin than some of the soaps used by women and which, it is claimed, will accomplish the cleansing process quicker and more pleasantly than a water aplication. The cleansing liquid comes in two bottles, and they are to be mixed in the proportions of two of one to one of the other. The solu tion of which a smaller quantity is used is pinkish in color and has a clean, sweet odor. The other liquid looks like water. When the mixture has been made the face is cleansed with it by dipping a piece of absorbsnt cotton in the liquid and rubbing it gently all over the face. Cold cream applications are not so effective as the liquid cleanser. A delicious cold cream intended for day use, one might say, to differentiate it from the cold creams put on at night to remove soil and wrinkles, comes in white jars and is a delicate pink in color. The cream is velvety smooth and has an exquisite odor. A little of it should be applied before the face powder is used. This keeps the skin smooth and protects it from the weather. Instead of using face powder many women are now applying cold cream which has a becoming whitening ef fect and really is a substitute for the dry powder. The cream, it is claimed by the makers, has absolutely no grease in its composition. It has a flesh tint, and after it has been al lowed to soak well into the pores of the skin the complexion looks pearly white and pink, yet does not have a powdered appearance. The cream comes in jars of different, tints to match different complexions. An eyebrow pencil Is considered an important part of the modern toilet outfit. Imported pencils done up in long, thin silver or gilt tubes can be had in black or shades of brown, so that -when deftly used the lines do not, show conspicuously, while the eye brow Is effectively accentuated. Triangular bottles of perfume are a novel importation from a French spe cialist in this line of toilet articles. The bottles are shaped differently for the different scents. There is a squat, wide bottle, tapering toward the top, which holds a deep amber liquid of rare fragrance and allurement. An other triagular bottle of blunter pro portions contains a perfume of quite a different odor. These are sold in leather cases, satin lined, into which the bottles fit perfectly. Without the aid of scissors or knife the cuticle around the finger nails can be kept smooth and well pushed back by using a device which has recently been placed on the market. The man icure outfit contains a pair of metal pincers about three inches long, which hold in their tip a tiny disk which looks like rubber. This is about the size of a small lozenge. Holding it firmly In the pincers the disk is first dipped into a box of salve which is a part of the nail improving parapher nalia, and afterward it is rubbed and rolled around the cuticle to polish off any ragged bits of skin and to keep the nail smooth and delicately shaped. SIDE FRILL TO BE BANISHED No Longer Occupies Privileged Posi tion, and Its Successor Is Being Talked Of. It must go. Smart women have decreed it. The abuse of this pretty fashion is accountable for its downfall. Some of the exaggerated examples of the side frills seen this winter have been laughable. “Heart guards,” one man humorous ly dubbed them. When a frill that is ordinarily in tended merely as a finish to the col lar extends so far that it is necessary to pin it to the coat sleeve to keep it out of the way it is time to call a halt. What will take the place of the dis carded side frill? Who knows? Those who invent fripperies may already have their heads together -settling on something quite new in neck fixings. Just at present the return of the straight lace trimmed jabot, that was in vogue for so many years, is pre dicted. Plaited tulle jabots are also candi dates, but they are not practical, al though usually most becoming. The skirts to the evening dresses are long, most of them have trains, and the trains are usually made in the long court length. Many of the new street and anto coats have their collars and cuffs trim med with velvet, corduroy, ratine, bengaline, braid or satin. There seems to be no end to the de signs in scarfs just now and the ma terials used also—satin, velvet and fur as well as lace and batiste. The accordion plaited full, straight jabot is the very newest style of jabot and appears in black and white. Whether this will supersede the popu lar side ruffle remains to be seen. Most fashionable materials are rich and heavy. Tailored costumes are made up of thick woolly goods and for suits and dresses even plush is used, with heavy chenille fringe as trim ming. A double row of buttons of embroid ered silk outlined with button loops of silk on embroidery trim many of the smartest models from the neck down to the bottom of the skirt, oi from the waist line down. White Marabou the Fad. In fancy feathers, tall military pom pons are approved, and are worn in marabou, ostrich and coq. White marabou is the current fad. OTTR sketch illustrates a little home-made contrivance that will be much appreciated by many people as it is of service for keeping warm the early morning bed room cup of tea that always suffers so unless the recipient happens to be quite ready for it. It was made with the aid of a square tin biscuit box, and as biscuit boxes are constructed in almost every con ceivable size and shape it is not diffi cult to obtain one that will fit com fortably over a cup and saucer. For this tin, and fitting it exactly, a cover was made in flannel and edged with a colored cord carried into three little loops at each corner. The words “Good Morning” were worked upon one side, and the cover was fastened to the tin by stiches run through -the material and a number of tiny holes pierced in the sides of the tin near the corners. The dotted line in the sketch indicates the cup of tea underneath the “cozy.” This little contrivance will keep a cup of tea warm for some time, and it is by no means unsightly, and is easily removed from the teapot when the tea is required. BEST OF ENGLISH GARDENING American Parks Show Highest Ex* pression of Natural Style In Landscape Work. Though many of our citizens abroad rave over the parks and gardens of Europe that are famous examples of formal or architectural gardening, this style has not found lodgment in the hearts of the American people. Much has been said about our not being an Anglo-Saxon race, but our taste in park building is one with that of the English people. Landscape, natural or English gardening, call it what you will, originated with the English people and finds its highest_ expres sion in the parks of our country. In Golden Gate park in San Francisco we may see one of the grandest ex amples in the United States, and it was built by a Scotchman who still continues to mold its present and plan its future. In the English style of park building the grandest examples may be seen in the simple copying of nature, and its reproduction in places previously laid waste by the hand of man, or in those barren parts where little natu ral beauty was present, man has prac ticed “the art that doth mend” nature until under his plastic hand all has become beautiful. One cannot see in such places even a suggestion of the French, Italian or other styles, but will notice that the simple needs of the landscape have been met. That is the general conception of English and American parks, though small for mal gardens of the older style may be imposed upon the natural in appro priate spots. In French and Italian parks, especially the smaller ones, the visitor feels the presence of man in the studied scheme, and a conscious effort for effect. TO SAVE JOB OF FORESTER Important Office In Chicago in Dan ger of Perishing for Lack of Funds. An appropriation by the Chicago ; council for the city forester was a Christmas gift suggestion made by Eames MacVeagh. He offered It as an officer of the Municipal Art league. The council appropriated $6,000 last year for civic forestry. Mr. Mac Veagh says the forester has done much with this limited sum, but that to expect him to make Chicago beau tiful with this expenditure is ridicu lous. He calls attention to much larg er appropriations which smaller cities have given similar offices. “In Chicago there are more than 2,000 miles of residence streets.” said Mr. MacVeagh. “It is possible to maintain trees and parkways along most of them, but only a small mile age is so planted. The value of trees to public health is generally recog nized. The ethical influence of green foliage in creating attractive sur roundings for the home are more vaguely appreciated. Trees, however, stimulate so pleasantly the sense of beauty in every normal being that any defense of tree planting become* almost unnecessary.” Planting Firmly. Failure in planting of trees and shrubs is often caused by not firming the plants in the ground. A plant or tree that does not have the soil prop erly pressed around the roots Is very slow to take hold and in the case of trees that sway in the wind it invaria bly means failure if the season is at all unfavorable. Dig good sized holes, twice as deep and as wide as the size of the roots require, fill in again with sufficient sol! that the plant may rest on it at the proper depth (by a glance at the plant you will readily see how deep it has been in the ground before), then fill in around the roots with fine soil, firm ing with the foot or rammer as you proceed. When completely filled up it should be as firmly in the ground as if It had been growing for some time. Parks In Manila. Five years ago the areas recognized as public parks in Manila were con fined to the Duneta and half a dozen comparatively small plazas. In ac cordance with plans and reports pre pared by the committee on parks the municipal board has not only convert ed the moats surrounding the lntra muros, in the heart of the city, into spacious parks and playgrounds, but has been acquiring areas in the sub urbs at a rate which in five years more will make Manila, where large, open breathing spaces are essential to pub lic health and comfort, one of the best parked cities in the world—Cen tury.
