To Make Shells,

These should be made<of one sheet
each, rolled out in CIRCULAR form and
spread over the bottom, sides and
edges of buttered dishes or patty pans,
and baked empty. They are best
when made of puff paste, though
they may be made of ordinary paste,
They should be rolled rather thick,
and need about an hours baking.
The oven should be rather quick
and of even heat throughout so that
the paste will be even and not drawn
to one side or warped in cooking,
The shells should be baked of q
light brown and when cool they must
be taken out of the dishes in which
they were baked and put upon plates
to be filled with fruit or oysters
Shells of puff paste rise best when
baked on flat patty pans or tins. When
cool, pile the sweetmeats on them
in heap. Baking them empty pre-
vents the paste from being moist at
the bottom.

FeW Feet Are Perfect in Shape

walking. this part of the foot gives
the spring and impetus for the next
step. 1t is wonderful mechanism,
which can be put entirely out of
proper working order by improperly
made shoes.
The racial characteristics of the
foot are as pronounced as those of the
face. The Frenchwoman has an en-
tlrely different shaped foot from that
of the f1at-footed English woman. The
Swedish woman's broad foot is a
marked contrast to the American
Woman's foot, with it's high instep.
Feet too small for the figure are
a deformity and woman who totters
around on number twos when she
ought to wear number fours, is de-
forming her feet, spelling her looks
and trifling with her temper.

PROPOSITION IN WINTER.
nevertheless BY Taking a Few Sim
pie Precautions 1t Will Be Found
That the Task Is by no
Means impossible.

NOW is the season of the year when
women begin to worry about the con-
dltlon and appearance of their hands.
IN summer they seem to take care of
themselves, but when winter comes
and the air is cold and sharp they re-
Qulre good deal of looking after
NO woman should neglect her hands,
Tor, If she only knew it, they are
really her greatest charm.
DO not say that as you do your
own Homework you cannot expect to
have pretty hands, for that is no ex-
cuse at all. There is no denying that
scrub water is exceedingly bad for the
hands, nor that in busting the dirt
gets clogged into the pores and under
the nails. But you do not have to
plunge your bare hands any more into
the disfiguring dish water; you can
wear rubber gloves when you wash
dishes, and also when you wash win
doWs and scrub. There is never any
necessity any more for putting your
hands into dirty water of any kind.
The gloves should be thoroughly
washed after having been. used with
clear warm water and soapsuds, both
inside and out, and hung out in the
air to dry. The hands should also be
washed thoroughly, not merely dab
bled in the water and out again
for this only grinds in the dirt-but
they should be lathered well with soap
and warm water and afterwards rinsed
in clear water. Partly dry with a
soft towel, then rub in little cold

Of Pretty 7hinss May Decide

Herself:

Seldom has|there been such a va
ried array ofIdainty and inexpensive
ribbon novelties as are presented this
year,
In many cises it will not repay the
needle woma IN to make them, for they
are almost las cheap as she could
fashion the1 il at home. On the other
hand, there are others which she de-
sires to make as examples of her
needlecraft and because she wants to
give them a more personal touch.
While taried styles of ribbon are
employed there is particular liking
for Dresden ribbons in rather large,
splashE f1orals, and with a colored
satin edge, which are very frequently
combined with plain color
There is a certain delicacy about
Dresden horals in their misty hues
which instinctively appeal to ones
artistic sense, hence their extreme
vogue.
