parts of the body. You will find, too. sensitive about the waist. I do not say this because wish you to wear tight clothes, but because you will see in it the march of improvement.
 THE hair is often made to grow
 back from the forehead by per
 sistent brushing Nand combing the
 hair from the forehead, which is often done, even by those who are sup posed to be expert hair dressers. The hair should never be brushed away from the face if one wishes to preserve good hair line over the forehead. Therefore when you dress your hair part it from front to back, not al- ways parting it in the middle or along the same line, and do the brushing and combing on the side and downward. Ii will take a long time, even if it can be accomplished, to make the hair grow lower on the forehead. It de- bends on the state of the hair follicles. Use crude yellow vaseline, taking a little on the finger tips and rub it along the edge of the hair, making a line With it at the place you desire the hair tc grow. Before applying the vaseline, massage and rub until the place where the hair is desired to grow is a bright red. This should be done once a day at least; twice would be better. I do not believe that brushing the hair does half as much good as massaging the scalp with the finger-tips. If one uses the brush, the bristles should be very stiff, and when beginning the down. ward stroke they should be made to reach the scalp and give that good dig, so as to redden the scalp and bring the blood to the roots of the hair, for that really is the basis of all at- tempts to make the hair grow, to in- crease the nutrition of the hair follicles by bringing the blood supply more freely to them. The whitea dry, hard ened appearance of the scalp is fa- miliar to all It is we'll to cut the hair and make fringe of it over the fore head. It makes the forehead look less broad and it is excellent to thicken the hair.

IN, PLACE
 OF MEAT.
Value of Vegetables and Nuts and How to Pre-
 pare Them

THE peanut is really a legume,
 though 1t is so rich in fat that it . seems to belong with nuts. The
 convenient peanut butter has many uses; it may be the basis of a cream soup; or, reduced with oil and vinegar, become a salad dress ing; or, between slices of bread, be- come a sandwich.
 The average cook rarely gets beyond making soups from beans and peas, but any of these pulses may be baked and boiled alone or in combination with other things, or appear as salads and croquettes. Few housekeepers allow sufficient time for the preparation of dry legumes, but when these are care fully done they are superior and far cheaper than when canned.
 To Prepare Pulses.
 The following general preparation is common to all: Pick over carefully, wash and soak in three or four times their bulk of clear, cold water until full Iy double in size. This will require ten or twelve hours, at least, and they will not be harmed by more. They are often improved by draining and then par boiling in water to which little bak- ing soda is added, about one-fourth teaspoon for a quart of dry beans.

fine, or one kind or several Combine these with some starchy foundation such as mixture of bread and milk, thick white sauce, or cooked cereal, or mashed potatoes. Equal proportions
 may be used or half as much nut as of the starch basis. The mixture may be seasoned with salt alone, or also with pepper, herbs, celery salt and onion juice. Some egg may be added when we wish to shape the mixture in cro- Quettes or turn it from a mold after cooking.
 The Elavors We May Keep. After all, we may miss the flavor of
 meat more than it's nutritious qualities. | Yet there are infinite possibilities of l havOrs from the vegetable Kingdom, some familiar, many known but rarely
 used, others yet to be developed. l The browning of meats results in a
 flavor often aided or intensified by | caramel made from lightly burning
 sugar. That is quite as acceptable ii soups and sauces of vegetable origin, | and similar effect is often secured by
 browning carrot and onion in fat. 1 Crowned bread, whether the crouton
 or toast points for soups, the coarser
 crumbs for the scalloped vegetables or ! the fine ones on the croquette, all have
 flavor suggesting that of the crisped | animal tissues.
 l The onion and it's relatives, chives,
 garlic and leek, and the tomato, are our most common vegetable f1avors, The mushroom is claimed to give a
 specially meaty flavor, but because of 1 its large water content, often 90 per | cent, it cannot take the place of meat | to the extent that some enthusiasts 1 would have us think
 l Of peppers there is a long list, usable
 in many ways, and these have become l more common since the Spanish war
 as they are used in our new territories
 so much that Americans are beginning | to use them as the English learr ad l curry from India
 | In any case the elimina ton of meats
 from our diet should not be done too
 suddenly. Let it come by diminution of quantity rather than total obliteration

treatment of backgrounds. When the right background is discovered good general effect is within easy reach. The part which backgrounds play in rooms varies under different conditions. No one would treat small rooms as though they were large, nor believe that walls ought to be ornamented in one uniform way, no matter what the style of archi- lecture may be. >
 So. our first general principle is this: Walls are background to a picture of household life in a furnished room, but their qualities as a background depend on many circumstances, such as a room's light. shape and size, its type of architecture and the needs of it's furni- ture. treatment too ornate to put behind pictures may be charming background by itself-that is, without pictures This principle leaves abun- dant opportunity for the exercise of choice, taste and individual feeling.

paper by a molding gives pleasing va riety to the composition. No definite rule can be given for their choice however. The only guidance which can be given is that unrest in a frieze de- sign is bad. And this point cannot be decided, even in work by the best men, unless you put length of frieze or your walls and live with it 8 few days.
 Not many of us can afford a plaster frieZe, but it is not unreasonable to suppose that many more than do can afford some mural decoration for their rooms which will represent what the owners feel and think, what they like and what they do.
 The frieze for the garden scheme of decoration was painted in watercolors on a warm gray paper, mounted on cheap canvas, secured to the wall by a flat molding, purchased at the mill for few cents a foot. This was gilded,

 Nuts in the Bill of Fare.
 Nuts have hardly attained the posi-
 ton they deserve as a food instead of relish. Like cheese, they offer so much meat value in compact form that it is desirable to grind them and com
 bine with less solid foods. The intense vegetarian uses nut cream on his cereal, and others may like it foT variety; or we may try grated almonds with our oatmeal, walnuts with our wheat or mixed nuts with corn. | Nuts lend themselves admirably to substitution for meats in croQuettes | timbales, etc., and with slight changes | in flavor may be used in place or meal 1 in many such recipes with which we are familiar.

 First to consider are the walls Walls are the background of a picture, and this picture a room. What are the qualities of a good background? The first one is repose; it should be re- garded as a sleeping partner to a defi- mite decorative scheme, not as an ac- tive and energetic helper.
