OUR CHILDREN CORNER
A CINDERELLA DANCE.

go OR u short summer nights dance
- to b. over at midnight an a
tation Of the Cinderella ldea
would furnish interesting suggestions
for decorations, and also a clever eX-
cuse for bringing the evening to a
close promptly at u o'clock, says the
Woman's Home Companion. The mVi-
tations should be on cards in the shape
of n slipper.
The dancing should cease at about IL
O'Clock, and the guests be conducted
to the supper, which, If it can be
served on a sheltered porch, will be
all the mere enjoyable.
In the centre of the table, surrounded
by flowers, should be a large white
slipper. This can be made by cutting
a piece of pasteboard into the shape of
a slipper and covering it with crepe
or tissue paper. Small china and glass
slippers surrounded by flowers may be
placed here and there over the table.
Small slippers cut out of ~pasteboard
and covered will make dainty souvenirs.
Exactly at midnight a large gong or
bell should be struck twelve times very
slowly, and as soon as the last is
sounded the light should be put out.

II she would show her love for me by

important question which l intend to
ask soon. Please answer soon and

The idea of asking a girl in a letter
il she would kiss you, and expecting
her to say yes! Young man, I'm sur
prised at you Next time ask her when
you and she are alone, but first you'd
better, find out il she cares enough to
become engaged to you. The best way
to let her know how much you love
her Is to tell her so. Aside from that,
you are very young to entertain such
serious thoughts. Let me advise you
TO wait q year or two.

injure my health, Il 1t Is that Ill any
way. Please give me your advice n
oblige, ANXIOUS.
All the medicines in the world will
not help you unless you make up your
mind to help yourself. You must exer-
else yourself early and often, and pre-
vent fat from e~ncroaching. Sleep not
more than seven hours q day, getting
to bed early and rising early, Seven
Is q good hour. A cold plunge is slim
ulating TO robust people. Before break
fast exercise long enough with dumb
bells or other light apparatus to get
the lungs and muscles in wide-awake
working order. AT breakfast abstain
from hot breads and potatoes. but eat
fruit, underdone steak, mutton or lamb
and toast, with little or no butter.
Drink little tea and coffee. 1t is not
necessary to avoid them completely.
East fresh vegetables, but avoid salad
oils. After breakfast exercise, whether
the day is clear or not. Put on a short
skirt and take a walk, a long-stride,
chest-up, shoulders-back walk, which
will work wonders. 1t is surprising
how fond one will become of walking
when one has learned to walk right.
Learn to breathe through your nose,
ana breathe deeply.
AT luncheon eat eggs, u~nderdone
meats, lettuce, tomatoes. cabbage, tur-
n1ps, squash, salads, fruits, toast or
anything you like, avoiding only those
things tina contain much starch, like
potatoes, beans, corn and peas. After
luncheon take another walk, and at
dinner observe the same rules about
eating. The juice of a lemon squeezed
in n half glass of water and taken
early every morning will keep the
stomach and liver in good trim.
You viii begin to lose flesh imme-
diately If you follow this advice. It's
only a matter of ambition and determi-
nation. Make for yourself a program
and stick to 1t.

Selecting WaIIpnper.

1t is quito impossible at times to tell
how a roll OF paper looks, If one has
only 81 small piece such as Is Usually
shown in the sample books, to Judge
from. 1t is quite as unsatisfactory,
too, to picture to the mind the paperins
of a room even if one mas a roll to look
at.
Better far is it to see the paper in
the roll, yet even this Is not thoroughly
satisfactory. There are many things
to be taken into consideration when
determining how a paper will look Oh
the walls OF a certain room-the
amount of light admitted the furni-
ture and pictures and the rugs or car
pet that belong there.
\ few general rules in the election of
wallpaper will, if observed, greatly les
sn the danger of %grievouS mistakes. II
the room faces the north sec that the
paper is one that will increase the ef-
feet of sunlight. Tan, buff and any
thing on the orange tint will do this.
Another thing to bear in mind is that
the smaller tho room tho lighter the
prevailing color tone should be, so as
to give a greater impression of size to
the apartment.
Do not select large designs for small
rooms; they are sure to prove disap-
pointing. Ono tires easily of them and
they do not lend themselves as q back
ground for either furniture or pictures.
If the room has a high ceiling, break
the height by carrying n color up,
say, two-thirds of the distance, and
finishing 1t with another, and usually
lighter color. above. If, on the other
hand, tho room is low, a paper which
has a striped effect, even though ir-
regular and indistinct, will be found
very satisfactory.
Bear in mind, too, in selecting papers
how the paper on one room will con
bine with that of another opening off
of ii.

off with a clean brush, dampened in
