divided between those that
tuck in and those that do not.
Once—some of us can remember
quite plainly—the chief division was
between those that buttoned in the
back and'those that did not. Most
of them did. Then there were
blouses with collars and blouses
without. Short—sleeved. long-sleeved
and sleeveless blouses next divided
the honors. And now such matters
seem to be secondary. The im-
portant thing is whether the blouse
tucks in or does not.
It is safe to say that very few
women who really wear their sport
clothes for sports select anythinz
but the tuck-in blouse for actual
sports wear. Of course. the tuck-‘in
blouse is more mannlsh. and there-
fore more sportsmanly. To be sure
the hip-band blouse gives one a
narrower look around the hips. and
this is much to.be desired. but it is
quite possible to wear the tuck-in
blouse in a way to minimize the
girth below the waistline. The
blouse itself should be long and the
bend of the skirt should be ample
enough to be worn below what we
still call the “normal" waistline.

This seems to be the invariable
choice of the college or boarding-
school girl ‘who has adopted the
separate sport skirt. wash blouse
and knitted jacket as her every-day
uniform. She doubtless chooses the
white broadcloth because of its
truly masculine appearance.

BEDDING IN YOUR HOUSE.
O
HERE to put extra. bedding
w is a. fiuestlon that sometimes
Is annoying to the woman
who keeps house in small quarters.
Often a good sized closet with
shelves located in the hall near the
bedrooms is the answer to the ques-
tion. This. of course, necessitates
having a. general place of supply for
all the rooms. Recently in refur-
nishlng an old house a resourceful
housewife planned to have a window
box in each bedroom. which should
be used as a, box for extra bedding.
They were therefore fairly wide and
long with hinges so that they might
be opened up quite easil . Chintz-
upholsuered pads on tOp inade them
useful as extra. seats in each room.
In these window boxes all blankets.
comfortables. and quilts are kept
for each room—as well as clean hed-
spreads and the two or three clean
sheets and pillow cases assigned for
the room. These sheets are marked
with the initials of the one who
occupies the room so that they are
easily sent to the room where they
belong after they have been washed
and ironed.
Of course, winter blankets cannot
be kept in these seats in summer
when moth dotlu corrupt. Then
they are simply washed and laid
away ,in a cedar chest expressly set
aside for bedding in the attic.
If you have little room and still
want to have your bedding kept in
the rooms where it is used why not
get a low matting—covered box on
rollers to go under each bed and
make this the repository of all bed-
ding? These boxes may he bought
