A critique of overdecorated rooms argues that crowded bookcases, bric-a-brac, gilt fabrics, and busy hangings ruin beauty. Simpler, straight lines wear better and resist becoming tiresome, while costly frills provide no true value. The piece warns against design that prioritizes show over function.
The article advises folding blankets evenly when dry, correcting stretched edges, covering with a clean sheet, adding a board and weights, and leaving them a day or two to iron themselves. This method emphasizes shaping and smoothing through weight rather than heat.
The article counsels preserving letters, personal and business, noting the value of old correspondence. It suggests organizing by writer name, then by date, keeping letters in labeled boxes and securely bound for easy reference, and mentions varied attitudes toward privacy and sentiment.
A woman described as ultra masculine boards a streetcar, sits heavily, and asks fare directions before alighting at Pemberton Street. Her attire blends male and female styles with a short skirt, raglan coat, gray crush hat, and masculine accessories, provoking attention as she exits.
The article argues that true style comes from choosing clothes that suit the individual rather than following others. It notes that fashion now allows variety in cut, shape, and color and cautions against wearing incongruous items in the name of being stylish.
The article notes a shift from dau ntsy batiste blouses to net lace and chiffon waists that form part of a complete costume. It describes fabrics, trims, and colors like smoke gray, Russian violet, and ecru lace, with Empire girdles and matching skirts. The new waists promise economy and versatility for street to house wear.
The article observes how brides seek ultra thin rings and questions the traditional vows by proposing both partners exchange rings. It notes the bride’s sense of independence and suggests a German custom where both spouses give a ring to symbolize mutual commitment. The piece calls for changing the marriage service to reflect this modern view.
The article urges business women and brain workers to learn food values and plan midday meals wisely. It argues lettuce cooling effect, advises against heavy made dishes, and recommends thin soup with a sandwich or cold meat and vegetables for a satisfying summer lunch.
