WOMANsg REALM. DRESS-FASHION-HOME. THE HOUSE A WOMAN WOULD PLAN. When women really take' up the ques- tion of domestic architecture the provision of cupboards will not be the o*ilv detail of I internal house construction which will I claim their attention. One point to which they will tn-rn their minds, and one which has received too little consideration from I the male architect, is the staircase. Some attention has already been given to the reduction of the number of stairs in the nouse. Basement houses have for long been taboo, and even cellars are no longer in fashion, but the form of the stairs that remain has yet to reach the ideal. No woman who set about planning a house would provide it with a single flight staircase, for several reasons. Apart from the fatigue of going up and down, there is alwavs the risk of a fall. However, even male architects seem to have realised this in the more modern houses, though they have fallen into an- other error almost equally to be con- demned from the housewife's point of view. for in three houses out of four there are winding stairs. c Now, apart from the fact that the nar- row end of these stairs is dangerous, the housewife views them with disfavour on account of the difficulty of laying carpets upon them—for to lay a carpet on a wind- ing stair is a work of art and a trial of patience.—Girl's Own Paper. AN ELEGANT WRAP. An entirely new-shaped and elegant cloak-wrap is shown here, made from satin and fine serge—a favourite alliance. The fulness is drawn into a yoke at the shoulders and a deep band at the hem. There are no sleeves—merely slits to let the arms through. A graceful finishing- touch is supplied by the folding collar, PATTERN NO. 2,4S0. finished with two large buttons, as are also the sleeve-slits. The gathering of the ful- ness both at yoke and hem is becoming. MATERIALS. Taffetas-a special favourite this season —lends tself well to pannier effects, the Ladies' Field says. It is relatively cheap compared with other materials, but it is also narrower. Black taffetas is particu- larly in vogue. Generally speaking, it only suite very slim women others naturally prefer softer materials whose heavy folds drape the form and accentuate the ligne onduleuse. Everything in present fashions—soft waistbelts outlining tlio waist without drawing it in, the ffimorio sleeve, straight coat or cape effects, and especially the in- numerable varieties of fringe—tend to ac- centuate this. 0 A COAT FOR WET DAYS. Pictured here we have a smart and be- coming wet-day get-up for the small school-girl. It can be made of gabardine j PATTERN No. 2,440. I or covert-coating, and fawn is suggested as a suitable shade to choose. There are invisible pockets at the sides, under the pleats; and similar pleats occur at the back. The belt draws the coat closely in. TO-DAY'S RECIPE.
