The Leopards Envied Spots By ELEANOR GUNN Every dog has his day, so dog- dom must be in a state of confus- fon and dismay since tailors, furriers and dressmakers are hoiding noth- ing sacred to their shears, which grows a coat which may be convert- ed info something smart. The leopard may not be able to change his spots, but should be quite reconciled to that condition, since at present the leopard is the queen of beasts in the fashion world. Just wity, no one seems to know, but the guess is hazarded that it is because leopard skins are so extremely dif- ficult to get. Last season, badger and natural lynx were found bord- ering and collaring coats and capes. This season, Palm Beach indicates that leopards are more desirable, and Palm Beach has provided more than its accustomed opportunities for study. Leopard is also used to bind the front of the straightline type of coat, often in narrow striped pat- terns and applied for all the world as we bind our blankets. Leopard is also used to band hats. It is a- flat and soft pelt, and therefore ap- plicable to many uses. In all events, leopard is the rage and is extremely smart, not only on soft green which seems to be its most usual affinity, but on white. The white topcoat has detracted this season from the To have Clothes perfectly cleansed and good color, the Soap must remove all the vis- ible and invisible impurities. SURPRISE will do this thor- oughly. It is pleasant to use. durable and Mrs. | undisputed prestige of the white cape. It is not likely that the usual weather conditions are alone re- sponsible for the many fur-trimmed models worn South as well as North. Fur trimmed evening gowns have been among the smartest worn this winter. 'It makes little difference whether the gown so trimmed is of velvet, brocades, chiffon or crepe, to say nothing of lace or tulle. : Those who enjoy having an alter- native, find it in clipped ostrich ana in marabou and for that matter, os- trich need not be clipped to find fa- vor. Willow ostrich, which is," as everyone knows, the drooping straight flue knotted to extraordin- ary lengths down the side of many a frock, is embroidered into the skirt in such a way as to produce an effect more or lees similar to silk or beads, but at the same time provd- ing a fringed shagginess which 1s very feathery and soft on the dance floor. Vionnet was among those sponsoring ostrict last season, but it must be admitted, it is not as Im- portant as fur {in the present | scheme of things. Another interesting treatment of fur for day wear {s.the us of it for boyish collars angl even for a bow tie, ermine or its substitutes fre- quently being chosen as a finish for the black velvet or cloth gown. In seems a bit odd, even now, to write of cloth gowns, so accustomed have we become to crepe and satin ones. The cloth frock hes an important place .,evem here among the palm trees, where the middy or garcon type of dress is more often found in wool than in crepe. (Copyright, 1924, Fairchild.) tn .

Once more I have journeyed through city fancywork shops with the idea of reporting on some of the latest handiwork ideas for my read- ers' sakes. Here are a few of the attractive movelty articles I saw: The New Hairpin Boxes: These were made {in the French style: covered with either old-rose or old- blue silk brocade and decorated with gold braid, gold lace and clusters of tiny, colored-silk flowers. Appar- ently boxes of almost any shape had been chosen, so long as they were suitable for holding hairpins. These were covered on the outside with silk brocade, then decorated with gold braid along the seems and 'cor- ners. Gold lace covered the top of the lid, and small silk flowers gave a dainty finish in<the centre. All of these hairpin boxes were hand-made, and the maker had used her original- ity. so that no two of them were sire. When I opened one of them 1 discovered that it was lined with old-blue gilk grosgrain ribbon. This little fancywork article is not only extremely useful, but also very effec- tive on the top of bureau or dressing table. Silk-Flower Boudoir Pins: Where- ever I found boudoir garments in the | | | shops--kimonas, bed-slippers, pout 'oir-caps, etcetera--I also found small pins as follows: Take a small fickel safety pin (the ordinary kind, | measuring one inch long) and wind | it with pale pink sewing silk till no | '| nickel shows (or you may use twist- ed embroidery silk for this winding). The next step is to make tiny pink silk flowers with yellow (embroider- | ed) céntres and place these closely, together on the top wire of the safety pin, securing them there with stitches. Add a few leaf-green rib-| bon-tips, for leaves, and the work is' done. Of course the wound pin-part must be conipletely covered by the flower decorations. These boudoir pins are used to fasten the kimono together, or to catch up a ribbon on ones' boudoir cap--in fact, used in any way that is useful when one Is in negligee. Silver-Bags . for the Suitcase: Every woman who has silver toilet articles will want a set of the new flowered-cretonne bags with gray flannel linings and ribbon draw- strings, into which she can slip her toilet articles before putting them into her traveling bag or suit case. In this way,-the silver is protected from scratches. These bags are washable, but, owing to the dark gray lining, they do not soil rapidly. (Cretonne with dark colers may be chosen for this same reason.) Make them with square corners, just the size of the various toilet articles-- one to fit each article.

One Mother Says: I noticed that when my children played 'go visiting' they piled their dell clothes in trunks, satchels and boxes ll rumpled and mixed, I stopped my work one day to show them how to sort the articles, fold them neatly, and fill the spaces to the best advantage. I have made other little suggestions about how to do things when they "play house" so that in future years the best and quickest ways of doing things will fall naturally to the band. A The Editor Hears That although spring is not very advanced as yet, the C.P.R. gardener is busy and has even begun work with his lawn-mower. The lovely flowers that bloom in'his well-kept gardens give pleasure to hundreds of people during the summer. That some, of Kingston's well known historians are taking a live interest in the pageant which it is to be hoped will be put on in Septem- ber to celebrate the 251st birthday of our historic city. That on March 7th, the annivers- ary of the death of Pauline Johnson, members of Vancouver's ILO.D.E. journeyed to her grave in Stanley Park with bouquets ©f spring flow- ers, and friends of the late Miss Johnson visited the rustic fountain erected in the park in her memory, just "at the parting of the ways," where the walk leads down to her be- loved Siwash Rock.

WILL TAKE OFF ALL EXCESS FAT ~ Do you know that there is a simple, harmless, effective remedy for overfat- ness that may be used safely and sec- retly by any man or woman who is los- ing the slimness of youth?. There ls; and it is none other than the tablet form of the now famous Marmola Pre- scription. known as Marmola Prescrip- tion Tablets. You can well expect to ily without go- & through ng sie of tiresome exercise and starvation diet. Marmola Prescription Tablets are sold by ail druggists the world over at one dollar for a box, or you can secure them di- rect from the rmola Co. 4612 Wood- ward Avenue, Detroit, Mich, on receipt of price. rn ~~ - Careless 8hampooing a If you want to keep your hair look- ing its best, be careful what you wash it with. Do not use prepared sham- poos or anything else that contains too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which is pure and greaseless, and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mul- #ified is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply meist- en the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eas- ily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine lustrous, fluffy, any and a few ounces member of the ently he.
