TO change 1t a bit to give more of the
classic suggestion, she can do this by US
ing two wells as drapery. The idea is
very much i'll fashion and is easy to car
~ out. The wells themselves are otter
used by high-priced dressmakers instead
of buying chiffon cloth and hemming it.
The wells have selvedge which makes
them quite effective. One of the at
tractlve ways of draping them is to catch
one at each shoulder, drawing it up uli-
der the arm and fastening on top with
paste buckle. The edges lower down
may be lightly caught together over the
arm little above the elbow. This gives
hlmy but straight drapery from shoulder
to hem which puts one i'll the picture this
season.
There has come about Il popular fash
ion OF pinnlng rose or any large flower
well down in the center of an evening
bodice The gold and silver roses which
came i'll last autumn are not the pre-
ferred thing. The present fashion calls
for a Silken Hover in rare color. 1t is
surrounded by green leaves and has a
rubber stem, finely made, and is loosely
caught to the lace or the jeweled net
which is so often in front of a bodice,
and is quite a good touch The wide
open flower i'll extra size is preferred to
the half-clOsed one. Bouquets of bios
SONS are not used as they were last
winter. While the gardenia or camelia
is fashionable. there are other flowers
with more color that are more imposing.
Among these is a poppy, large orchid,
an exaggerated iris, peony and a full
blown American Beauty. The scarlet
pOinSettia is often chosen.
The best way to overcome scrawny
arms is to practice tensing exercises
many times daily. Stretch the arm at
muscles very taut, clench the hand and
draw up to the shoulder, using as much
force as if lifting a heavy weight. Re
peat until the arm begins to get stiff.

So long as your skirt is up to date
you may have any kind of sleeve you
want save very full one. Long, elbow
and three-quarters are all used in ex-
elusive French models, but the general
lines of the frock must of course be con-
sidered in planning the sleeve, and a
short sleeve cannot be associated reck
leSsly with any and every Silhouette.
On the whole the long sleeves prevail
chiefly i'll Semi-tranSparent form or i'll
such sheer guise from the elbow down
on the frocks, but the rule is by no
means Imperative. Even a display of
French sleeves, but this fullness appears
only in mid-arm and ordinarily takes the
form of a soft, full chiffon or other trans
parent stuff set in like a long puff be-
tween a close fitting upper sleeve and
close fitting cuff.
A simpler, digestible and artistic look
ing salad is a nest of endive or lettuce
hearts on shallow green dish to rep
resent a huge lettuce leaf. In it are
placed small eggs made of cream cheese
thinned to molding consistency and
formed around stuffed olives. If desired,
the cheese eggs can be sprinkled with
minced parsely. Serve with French
dressing beaten to the thickness of an
emulsion.
The prevalence of ''the American dis
ease"-dyspepsia-is largely due to the
uuick-lunch habit of our business men
and women. The inferior food, catch-as-
catcii~Can service, the noise, the hurry,
even the heavy, permanent odor of the
average quick lunch restaurant, all con-
spire against good digestion waiting
upon appetite. The housekeeper who
finds her ''men folks and the business
women of the household suffering from
periodical attacks of outraged digestive
lunch at home instead of down town. In
these days of rapid transit by subway
and of stoves which would have seemed
to our foremothers the realization of
some fairy tale. this midday luncheon
would be easily practical. a hot dish
which can be whipped up in fifteen or
twenty minutes on gas stove), salad,
a cup of cocoa, good butter. and we'll
baked bread make a luncheon for
King-Or an epicure.
Not all housekeepers realize the impor-
lance of having the right kind of buster.
They will get stiff calico or Unity fabrics
and rub them over wooden furniture. to-
tally unconscious that they are not doing
their work Cheesecloth makes the best
general buster for wood, silk or fine orna-
ments or polished surfaces and heavy
canton flannel for floors. The chief OBJ
lection to the cheesecloth buster is that

GETS slinky. A substitute that is quite
as good. little more expensive. and saves
much time is to buy supply of red
handanna handkerchiefs for use as, dus-
ters. If these are bought at wholesale
they are cheaper and can be disposed OF
among ones friends. Mems old silk
handkerchiefs should never be thrown
away when worn and thin. They are
iust the thing for busting the polished
surface of the piano. ivory ornaments,
and fine china and glass bric-a-brac.
