Except


Where organic disease exists excessive
thinness should find a beneficial remedy.
Three or four months of right living will
completely change the habit of the body
and show decidedly beneficial results.
Excessive thinness is a greater foe to
beauty than excessive plumpness. Angular
lines are particularly unpleasant and in this
condition of the body they must be borne;
the eyes become sunken; the cheeks fall in;
the lips drawn; the nose becomes sharp;
the skin is unsatisfactory, lines and
fades.
In the interest of health well as beauty,
the cause or causes upon which this de-
ponds should be investigated.
Excessive thinneSS is due to many causes;
n,anutrition, resulting from insufficient
nourishment from the habitual use of food
which cannot be readily assimilated, or
which is lacking in the elements of nutri-
ton; from an excessive use of highly Spiced,
acid, or salt articles of diet, or of irritating
beverages; a too rapid digestion or debility
of the digestive organs; excessive labor
either mental or physical prolonged watch
ing; undue indulgence in the emotions, vio-
lent or depressing; feverishy active habit
of body-all are causes. The diet should be
carefully regulated and all articles exclud-
ed from it which are found to be difficult of
digestion. Sometimes a little fresh, pure
olive oil will make easy of digestion articles
of food otherwise indigestible. An excellent
flesh maker is sometimes to be found in
bread and butter, the bread thinly sliced
and buttered thickly Other foods which
induce flesh rice, potatoes carrots
parsnips articholhes, well prepared cereals
fresh eggs, cream and milk, game, veal,
beef lamb and mutton. Preserved figs
are excellent for making flesh and gener-
ally agree with the most delicate stomach
Meats should be broiled or roasted rather
than fried. Acid fruits should be avoided.
Ventilation of the living and sleeping
rooms is an Indispensable part of the flesh
forming treatment and should be aided by

When Sewing


On buttons, sew through and through the
button until the hole is full of thread,
then wrap the thread around the button
three times put the thread through the
wrong side and fasten well. On mems gar
ments use linen thread when possible.
Ruf1es should be cut on the bias of the
goods, matching the figure stripe and
pressing the seam on the wrong side. In
this way it does not require as much
material and the ruffles look much neater.
Facings of all widths should be cut on the
bias.
Do not pucker or gather a seam in sew
ing it, and take care to fasten your thread
before you cut it. so that your work will
not ravel. On these points altogether the
fit or hang of the garment depends. 1t
Injuries the enamel of your teeth to bite the
thread Therefore you should not do it.
Darns and patches should always be
pressed Bear this in mind. You will see
that ofttimes the mending is scarcely no.

The Most

The Most
Important thing for the shopper to learn
is how to shop. Said one of the managers,
speaking on this subject: ITO learn how
to shop smartly is a difficult proposition
and one that few American women have
mastered This is not because of their in
ability to learn, for to master the unusual
is an American womans forte.
She has failed to make a good shopper for
many reasons. Her mind has not received
the right sensations along this line. 1t has
not conceived the distinction between the
"lcoker"-that nemesis of the shopping at
mosphere-and the "clever shopper" who
is the recognized patron of intelligence, to
whom the salespeople offer their eager at
tention.
Just let the American woman get genu-
inc grasp on the fact that it is a mark of
distinction to shop well, that it Is thor
oughbred cleverness, an accomplishment OF
which to be proud, and change will be
noticeable in the tactics of her store tour
rg campaign. She will cease to cause $40
worth of trouble for % cents worth of
goods, she will train herself to find out
what she wants before she goes to buy, or
If this must be done through the help of the
girls, she will select the one least busy,
state her mission, and within reasonable
length of time decide one way or the other.
If she cannot be reasonable she will thank
the clerk for her trouble, make her exit,
and settle the matter when she is alone.
she will not throw off her mantle of good
manners because she enters a store, neither
will she trouble the saleslady for sugges-
lions she does not intend to consider.
You will possibly recognize the other type
of woman. She is at the yelling depart
rlent. What kind of a veil?' She doesn't
know. What color?" She has not decided
wells, you know" says the girl, match

her gown yet, but she would like to see the
newest styles. Box after box is pulled
down veil after veil is brought forth for
Tier inspection. She winds first one and
then another Of these perishable articles
around her face, and then she unwinds
them and one after another is cast aside,
while the clerk stands on one foot and
then the other, wondering how many dollars
she is losing. The woman studies over the

but after due reflection concludes that the
$3.50 one is most becoming, and buys one
by the yard at % cents, which she wishes
cut from a fresh piece. This is not ex-
ample of clever shopping. 1t Is demon
stration of a nuisance.
Clever shopping ignores personal affairs.

ing woman at the veil counter. You wish a

some might seem impertinent, but If reason
is brought to witness 1t will testify that
being a grass widow does not affect the
market value of goods; it does not change
violet into red nor green into blue. 1t is of
no interest to the clerk; in other words, 1t

If a Mother Thinks

If Mother Thinks
And most mothers do-that her child is
one of the seven wonders of the particu-
lar age in which he is living. she is wise
to practice self-restraint. Spare this
most judicious qualification and she spoils
the child.
Parents put freshness in their children
when the nursery holds them, and when
they grow to be young men and women
they are sent away to school to have it
taken out of them.
Automatic cleverness is unattractive in
a child and completely ruins him for fu
ture years. for if he becomes conscious
then of the conceit bred in him it is
years of hard work and humiliatng ex-
perience to overcome the defect and if
he is unconscious of it his troubles are
more and harder to bear
Do not train the child to make speeches
to order. Do not show him off, every
time company comes. Teach him to be
seen and not heard too much. Do not
laugh at his reproofs Do not instill
within him that he is cute, and charm
ing, and altogether lovely-quite the
fairest of all children-for sometimes he
will be forced to know that fearful
mistake was made.
