Danger of Lacing
The one who laces pays for her in
anity by bodily discomfort from the
pinching; by serious injury to her in
ternal organs, which after a while are
pushed out of place; by indigestion be-
cause OF pressure on the stomach. She
cannot exercise or walk properly. The
only wonder is that so many women
can endure the tightness of their cor
sets and keep as well as they do.
Women have an idea if they screw
their feet into shoes which are a size
or two smaller than what they should
wear that they are improving the looks
of their feet. Who knows or cares
what size of shoes a woman wears or
even gives it a thought? But the fact
that her shoes are tight is borne in
upon the wearer with torturing insist
ence which half cripples her.
Equally silly is the woman who wears
the high heels, placed hallway under
her foot to give the appearance of 4
short shoe OF slipper. She cannot walk
properly, she topples along; her feet
are misshapen by bringing all the weight
to bear on the bali of the foot, spread
ing it at the joints and causing bunions.
1t was thought that our grandmotheTs
we're silly because of their dress many
years ago, but the fashions of to-day
are even more to be ridiculed. The
French a century ago called these styles
which are in vogue to-day incredible"
Modern ''Incroyables"
1t is indeed incredible that women
will wear through the coolest winter
weather lace sleeves to cover the arms
and only thin covering over their bare
necks; that they will go in the streets
with pumps, mere slippers with high
heels. and thin Isle or silk stockings
covering their feet and legs; that they
will pile on their heads nonstrosities
of hats, with crowns so large that they
deprive the figure of any sense of pro-
lportion. or brims SO broad that they can

e. their appearance in one way or
another that many have come to
~ regard the subject of Good
Looks" as frivolous, and anyone consid-
ering them as given over to a foolish
and senseless vanity The proper con-
sideration OF good looks means several
things which are the foundation stones
OF success in life.
In the first place they mean health,
for seldom can one who Is sickly be
good-looking. In the next place they
mean attainment OF a better place in
society, for good looks are pleasing to
everybody and the possessor of them
is a pleasureable sight and more eagerly
sought for companionship Indeed, at
first they count for more than intellec-
tual and moral qualities and all that
f7les to make up that thing which we
eel character" Good looks enhance
snese qualities more than is realized.
Importance Of Good Looks
They also have a great weight in
making a business success of life, in
this relation being termed "a pleasing
personality" Good looks have exalted
the lowly TO a place among the wealth
lest; have even seated their possessors
upon thrones. Therefore, one should
realize their Importance and try TO at
tain them. But so many women, other
wise sensible, do not understand of
what good looks consist and are IN
speakably foolish in regard to them.
Women are silly about their hair If
a few gray hairs are seen they feel that
a calamity has overtaken them, and viii
do anything to get rid of them. They
bleach their beautiful hair with chem
icals to a faded yellow, which not only
destroys the hair, but makes them look

have intelligent sympathy from
his parents. His father should not
insist that his son should take up a
business which he himself carries on, If
the boy has opposite tastes. AS far as
possible a boy should have liberty of
choice in seeking an occupation or a
profession. If he has his own definite
tastes he should be helped to carry them
out. If he prefers to have decisions
made for him he may be guided toward a
useful career.
This is often a time of trial or dis
appointment to parents who may have
other wishes for their boy from those
he prefers to follow. It takes love,
wisdom, unselhshness to help a boy to
decide He has to live his own life,
and to decide under what conditions
he viii live it. He needs help, encour-
agement in choosing what he has bent
for. Then he must % his best. If he is
of the material that makes a man of
character he is on the way to success.
A Good Son
A thoughtful son realizes and appre-
ciates that his parents have given their
best efforts, their best years in making
a home and in providing for him, edu-
eating him, training him in character
and habits, and fitting him for life. 1t
may be that it is necessary for boy to

Potatoes can be mashed, baked, riced

treasury is a problem that confronts
more than one housewife this year.
The price of turkeys has scared higher
and higher, until what was considered a
necessity to the Thanksgiving or Christ
mas table has become a positive luxury.
In many homes turkeys at any time of
the year are out of the question, and
chickens are frequently substituted. But
even these in many places are so high
priced or poor that one would prefer to
do without than to spend much money
and receive little return.
Substitute for Turkey
Those who are fortunate enough to
have farmer friends who raise their own
porkers can purchase a sucking pig,
which, roasted, will make a delicious
substitute for the turkey.
A ham, smoked or fresh, will also
prove satisfactory, and is especially
attractive when boned, stuffed and
roasted.
During this month game abounds in
most markets, and in the smaller villages
and country places one can secure at
least one variety of game. Then there
are oysters, which by many are thought
to be indispensable to proper Thanks

from time immemorial been associated
with the holiday dinner
/ So with an oyster pie and 4 fresh

ing, Thanksgiving day can be finely cele-
