WATERPROOFING 18 LATEST BOON

One useful thing a new discovery by London shoppers, is a. cream preparation which claims to make waterproof sheer silk stockings, as well as shorts or bathing costumes. A little of the cream is mixed with water and the articles are dipped in the solution.

It is said that nothing which has been treated with this cream can absorb water, and swim suits remain dry even though the water may penetrate through in wool to the skin surface.

Women of Hawaii paid $45,000 for llpsticks last year.

MAKING B—E—lIiI‘S—A HOLIDAY PASTIME

Now that belts are assuming more and more importance in our scheme of dressing, and may be worn not only with sports blouses and afternoon frocks but also with tailored evening gowns, a good supply of belts will go far towards making us feel right for all occa- aions. A good belt can ‘make" an otherwise undistlngulshed frock, and so effect: a real saving in spite of the little initial extravagance entailed. Considerable economy can however, be effected if some of the belts are made at. home.'I‘he work is easy, gives scope for originality, and provides a. pleas- ant holiday task.

Kid, suede, and coarse canvas, in black or some brilliant shade. are the best materials to use. Canvas looks well when worked with wool, coarse silk, or raffia, and the pat- terns should be bold and brilliant Or the canvas may be decorated with appliques of any contrasting material. Beads also look well on canvas. Kid belts can be painted or appllqued with strips of con- trastlng colors. The skilled worker in crochet can gain some novel effects by combining knitting string of different colors in one belt.
