At small evening affairs where
slightly low gowns are worn there
has come about a pretty fashion Of
wearing band of colorei velvet rib.
bon Ground the neck.
This is tied in small fiat bow di.
rectly under the chin. Girls who
have good features and well-shaped
faces should wear 1t, but it is rather
trying to those who have not.
1t is directly copied from the old
Boucher pictures, and was adopted by
the women of that day. 1t is prettie1
when worn with a gown that is no,
very low, and 1t goes we'll with q
slightly square neck.
1t must be tied at the very top OF
neck. II put at base 1t destroys the
lines from eartip to shoulder.
Don't eat a heavy meal when very
tired. To do so will almost certain
ly give you indigestion, and there is
no more fatal enemy to the skin.
When utterly worn out, a glass OF
beaten-up egg and milk will do you
far more good than a meal of meat
and vegetables. Prepare 1t in this
way, and there will be no danger of
the "sliminess" that most people as
sociate with egg and milk.
Separate the yolk and white, and
beat the latter to stiff froth.
Heat the milk to boiling point, add
to the yolk sugar and lemon juice to
flavor
Beat we'll and pour on the heated
milk.
Lastly. stir lightly in the stiffly
beaten whites and serve at once.
Ar egg prepared in this way is
more easily t1igested than in any 9TH

we'll.
A young woman who belonged to q
sewing club composed of six men,
bers announced her engagement. and
the other members planned this most
unique shower, to which they asked
the men. that Is, each asked an es-
cort. These girls conceived the hap
py idea which made this affair q
reality.
Each one made pair Of sheets and
a pair Of pillow cases. Then, arrayed
in these ghostly garments, they pre-
sented themselves at the house of the
bride-elect. They all met at the
house next door and dressed. The
brides mother had been taken into
the secret and looked out for the re-
freshments, which. the men had sent
up. They had oystc' soup, coffee and
sandwiches, as It was bitter cold
night.
After the surprise was over and tie
white costumes taken of, it was ex :.
planned that the sheets and pillow
cases would next be seen neatly
laundered and tied up with sachets Of
lavender for the linen chest.
The secret is out. A girl who has a
reputation for being extremely clever
and brilliantly original has confessed
that she is not original at all. Mel
Their. says she. is she clever. She is
merely observing. She keeps her
eyes open and makes use of what 9TH

Possibly you know afgirl who has a
reputation for being very clever in
her way of doing things. Her little
dress accessories are always differ
ent and always attractive. If you are
invited by her to dinner or luncheon
or an informal thimble party you are
perfectly sure before you start that
the whole affair will be marked with
original little touches:
~
The place cards. the favors and the
entertainment planned will be unique
and little different from the ordi-
nary kind. In burst of enthusiasm
you say to your hostess: "Oh, but
you are so clever! How do you ever
think up such pretty things?"
In all probability she will tell you
that she doesn't think Of them at all
that she just copies them. This you
may set down to modesty. but in nine
cases out Of ten it is the truth.
That girl has merely trained her
self to be observing. She reads the
papers and magazines, and when a
clever idea is suggested she cuts it
out AMI files 1t away in her book Of
suggestions.
When she sees salad served in a
new way at some smart dinner she
makes q mental note of it, and the
next time she has a guest she tries
her new salad course.
So, while this girl has made for
herself a reputation of being extreme
ly clever. according to her own way,
she la not clever at all. She merely
uses the things that other people
have thought of. So there is really
little excuse. after all, for the woman
who is invariably satisfied with the
commonplace. The better ways are
hers for the taking.
