A WORD o BOWS.


To the woman who diBapproves of
wings. quilts or plumes, yet yearns for
a tailored simplicity, the bow n espe-
ciauy appealing. So varied ts II In ma
teriaI and shape that no one need pro-
test against a sameness of style.
The bow can be the smallest kind of
shape on the largest size hat. There
seems to be no rule governing the rel
alive sizes of bow and hat.
Lace in black. white and colors 10
especially favored. IT Is the coarse
net, the fine maline the allover varie-
ties and the valenciennes that can be
bought by the yard.
Large bows al be pleated and wired
so that great height can be given to q
hat. Fla loops are wired on one edge
and curved in graceful ines around the
crown.
Bows hat resemble butterflies ara
very noticeable. Some have high.
pointed wings, wired on the inner
edges and pinched together. others
have bows and ends wired on all
edges and bent to resemble asvy forms.
Ribbon bows are edged with velvet
or straw. Taffeta bows show chain
stitching in heavy thread or quears
Oriental embroidery on the ends.
One last word as to the position OF
the bow. 1t is not surprising 10 nnd
that the bow at the back has q tt4

Convention Versus Feeling.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS Doom:
Just a few lines wishing to ask you
a few questions. I am a young girl Of
II and l am invited to attend the birth
day surprise party Of one OF my girl
friends, but I am In deep mourning for
my brother. who died six weeks ago.
Now / want to know II 1t would be
prope for me to attend, providing I
would not dance or participate In any of
the games. l would like to know II 1t
would be correct to dress In black and
white. as 1t Is a lawn party n will
be quite large. This friend is one Of
my best friends, n my other gtr1
friends tell me that I am foolish in
hesitating to so. The deceased was Is
years of age. Thanking o In ad-
vance and hoping you will answer
through h Newark Evening STAR at
your earliest convenience, as the party
will be next Tuesday, 1 remain, thank
fully yours, e. ]. w.
l am afraid this 10 a question you
must settle according to your own feel
ings. Convention says that one should
not attend any social functions dur
ing the period of mourning. Person
ally, however, | don't think one should
stay apart from the world to dwell on
grief or assume an attitude which is
not since. If you feel that you will
be doing wrong (by that mean disre-
garding the dictates not of convention
but of your cqhscience) don't go to the
party, for you will not enjoy 1t. If, on
the other hand, you think 1t will bene-
fit you by causing you to forget your
grief for the time being, by all means
attend.
Yes. wear a simple white dress with
a black sash.
| am sorry l can't give % more
definite advice. Don't you realize now
that it is a question o must decide
for Yourself?

not equaled by meat. Ripe bananas
are wholesome food for children.
If meats are used-and they are not
necessary to build his body-a child
should not have them more than three
or four times a week. Never pork or
18Th fowls, such as goose or duck. Sub
stitutes fora meat: Eggs. milk, nuts
and beans. Most children like nuts.
If they are mixed and ground fine
with twice the quantity of rice. hon.
my grits or mashed potatoes they give
a perfect meat value, far better for de-
veloping bodies.
Desserts? Yes, il they are simple and
dainty. A cup custard or rice pud-
ding with dates, figs or raisins after
a no-meat dinner. A baked apple, tap
ioca pudding with fruits, apples. pine
apples. etc, with a nut or bean din
ner. Gelatine desserts with fruit are
good.

TAPE INSTEAD OF RIBBON.

For morning house wear some girls
like their lingerie of the simplest kind,
and they hate the bother and fuss" OF
running ribbons and using bodkins
every time a fresh batch of undermus-
Inns returns from the laundry.
To obviate this trouble then, one girl
simplified matters by purchasing a roll
of white linen tape, the soft, pleasant
to-the-touch kind. This h put In all
her plain, workaday chemises, corset
covers, etc, and when she sent them
to the laundry again the tapes stayed
In, and she says she has saved ever so
many minutes, not to mention the
bother inc nuisance of putting In the
old-time ribbons.

that the children will enjoy SO keeniy
that they will lose all desire to return
to the old form? If this does not have
the resul you wish will her that you
would rather not have her take part
in the other games. 1 am sure that
after IA years under you training she
has obtained your wholesome outlook
on life and will view the matter from
the right standpoint.
STENOGRAPHER-No, do not mix
business and society. If you and the
man who works in your office are good
friends receive him at your home, but
do not expect him to pay attention to
you during business hours, and, abovs
all, do not make him feel that YOU
claim any help in your work on account
of his friendship for you. II I were
you I shouldn't make a practise of
lunching with him. Thank you for your
words of commentator.

What would you advise me to do, Miss
Poynter? A MOTHER.
Your attitude shows that you possess
good common sense, and what is even
more valuable a true and sympathetic
understanding of childhood and its
problems. I appreciate your desire to

Tea.

My Dear Miss Doom:
I would like to give IN afternoon

range it; how to entertain 1t, n also
what refreshments TO serve. Thank

A DAILY READER.
It all depends upon the formality or
i~nformaifty of the function. Send your
calling cards to pour friends with "At
home on Wednesday, August -,
from four to six" If 1t il to be in
formal have the cards read "At home
informally"
II the function Is to be formal have
your mother and two or three of you
most intimate friends IN the receiving
line with you. You should stsnd at the
head of the line, your mother next and
then your friends. The guests should
speak to you first and be introduced
by you to our mother and by her to
the friend next to her and 50 on down
the hne. Be sure that u pronounce
each name distinctly, for IL you don't
the guest will not be able to recognize
her own title by the. time she arrives
at the end of the line. When the guest
has spoken to each one of the receiv-
ing party she should be escorted To the
dining room by n of the two or three
friends acting as assistants. There
should be TWO serving In the dining
room, one at each end Of the table.
One should serve ices, the other tea
decd tea is preferable In this weather)
chocolate or punch. The other refresh
ments which should be arranged at
tractively on the table may onsist of
light sandwiches (these are not neces-
sary) fancy cakes. nuts and candies.
The assistants should see that each
guest Is properly served. Have the
guests shown to n room where they
may leave their wraps and arrange
disordered locks, etc, before they enter
the reception room. and have a card
tray on a table near the loo so that
they may leave their calling cards
as they go out. The members of the
receiving line should remain in their
places during the hours of the "at
home.' They and the assistants are
differentiated from the guests by un-
covered heads. The reception room n
the dining room should be decorated
with flowers.
If you wish a few friends to come in
for an informal call it Is not necessary
to AVE a receiving line or to serve
elaborate refreshments. Tea or punch
and cakes will suffice and these may
be served by one of your friends. Be
sure to introduce all the guests, ar
range comfortable chairs for them n
endeavor to make them feel "at home"
In the real sense of the phrase. It Is
more cheerful and honey to hav the
tea table in the room with the guests
rather than in the dining room. I
think three or four of these teas with

Happy Is the mother today IL she
knows how to keep a healthy child
we'll, NJ to correct any existing un-
healthy conditions.
Children pass through certain stages
and require certain foods for building
purposes.
The easiest way when a child asks
for anything Is to give it to him. It
saves discussion, tears and time, and
everyone Is apparently happy. But
there comes a day of reckoning. Over
fed and underfed children are pitiable
objects, nervous. irritable and restless.
1t is impossible to plan the food
for children unless the mother has cor
rect standards of what constitutes per-
feot health. The mother says, There
are my children, all different natures
and types, but all must build flesh,
bone, blood. hair, nails. teeth and
skin"
Cereals contain the necessary ele-
ments for the bone
Butter, cream and olive oil are good

dainty green vegetables.
Potatoes, rice, hominy and white
breads are common, starchy foods, and
their great food value for the child de-
ponds upon the methods of cooking.
For instance, a baked or carefully
boiled potato has food value, but Is
worse than useless when fried. There
Is no starchy vegetable SO clean In the
system and so easily digested as rice,
when cooked in plenty of rapidly boil
ing water and simply served as a vege-
table. The same is true of macaroni.
Whole wheat bread contains more
mineral matter than white bread, anu
is better for child building.
Avoid sweets and give the children
fruits and salads.

strong bodies. Teach them that 1t Is

cramped for space, or it's master, tho

as his special sanctum. II he attempts
to write in the dining room he must
bundle away his papers whenever the
table is required for a meal, and the
wear and tear to his ternper-for every
nan finds 1t aggravating to be
''hustled"-often makes him "gey i'll

that seldom used spare room he would
find home far more home-like, and his
wife would e a sure reward for the
sacrifice Of the petty pride which makes
her think more of what people will
