THE VALUE OF MAGNHSIA.

Magnesia, which may be obtained
either In powder or square cakes, Is
very effective in cleaning laces and
delicate fabrics. says the woman's
Home Companion. Sift or rub it on the
parts to be cleaned and lay them away
in a box or drawer where they will be
undfsturbed for a day or so, and Their
shake them out.
1t is a very good plan to apply the
magnesia in this way when putting
away party dresses that have become
slightly soiled. The magnesia absorbs
the dust. and when you take the dresses
out to wear the next time they will be
fresh and dainty.
The magnesia is also effective when
applied in the same way for removing
grease spots.

Dull gray skies and the ain of the
morning caused the greatest disap-
pointment among the society women of
Upper Montclair who have been re-
hearsing for a presentation this after
noon of the classic drama, THE Trojan
Women, or Helen of Troy" Until noon
those who had the affair in charge de-
clared that there would be no postpone
ment of the performance if the sun
came out before the time set for the
beginning of it.
THE Trojan Women" which was
al pied by Euripides from the "Iliad,'
was given on the lawn of the resi-
dence of Julian r. Tinkham, 500 PARK
street, Upper Montclair, today. Twenty
one women we'll known In fashionable
society were cast for the various parts.
They have had their clinging draperies
made in the most approved Grecian
style of the period marked by the fall
of Troy, and the fact that these cos
tunes have been pronounced "just as
becoming as they can be- n 1us'
too cute for anything" by the favored
few who have had privilege Of prepara-
tory peeps at rehearsals makes the
weather all the harder to bear.

sang the Incidental music written
especially for the occasion by Mrs

Your Foot Should Be the

Women are more often too short thar
too tall. and consequently try to gain
height by putting on high-heeled shoes,
and these do. undoubtedly. give dignity
so long as the wearer stands still, but
in motion they are graceless. even in a
room, and deform the feet.
Thus women are made to minister to
a very short-lived fancy. and, from a
physiological standpoint. we cannot
recommend them.
There are many women whose feet
are too small, and this does not add to
their beauty.
The better shape a foot is the smaller
1t will look. but in the disproportionally
small foot there is always involved al
awkward gait.
The foot of a large woman should be
larger than the foot of a small woman

making their bathing array as fetch

years princess bathing suits reached
the height of prettiness and grace,
thought the fair wearers. but, in the
popular slang of the day, this seasons
models will go them one better.
In the first place they make for com
fort. A high waist line means plenty
Of breathing space below the dia-
phragm. Slim women will require no
c~orsets, and the stays of the heshy
one may be let out a-plenty, for which
fact hosts of grateful signs are ascend
ing heavenward. The line from tho

simply because one had no strength to
resist.
The short-waisted bathing suit makes
for simplicity. Short Greenaway puff
sleeves and round or square necks will
be features. The high collar that
marked so many Of last years suits
will not be in evidence. Very narrow
soutache will be a favorite trimming.

all black, with perhaps a bright red
bathing bonnet. Other popular colors

ally-to her unnecessary sorrow-she
has a large one.
The foot in length should be the
length of the ulna. a bone in the fore
arm, which extends from a lump in the
outer portion of the wrist to the elbow.
OF course, the ulna is longer in tan
people, n to be graceful the foot
should be also.
Most people would be surprised that
the foot should be as long as the fore
arm. and would be inclined to dispute
the fact unless proven by experience.
Large ome pinch their feet in
tight shoes because they are ashamed
to have them in proportion TO their
bodies; thus in time they deform them
until they are out of all proportion TO
the body. and sometimes in the direc-
ton they do not. intend.
Anything else could better be sacri-
iced than Base of motion.
