Bust Development

Dear MISS doom
VIII yon kindly give me a simple M
harmless bust treatment. as | would like
to have q nice bust form. as that is the
only thing l lack. Thanking you very
much. | am yours sincerely. r. w.
Deep breathing is one of the best
bust developers. Before dressing in
the morning and before retiring at
night stand before an open window
and inhale and exhale for fifteen min
utes, keeping the mouth closed. Let
it be your aim to make the inhala-
tions and exhalations longer each
day. You can judge their length by
counting mentally and marking the
count down each day. Do not, how
ever, confne the deep breathing to
this half hour a day, but breath deep
ly at all times, especially when you
are in the open air. Massage the
bust with cocoa butter night and
morning before you take your breath
ing. exercises.
If you keep this treatment up faith
fully you will see a marked improve
ment in a short time.
/ congratulate you upon your pos
session of all the other essentials. Re-
member, Rome, was not built in a
day. and it may take many weeks,
ven months. before you will be able
to add this finishing touch.

A DAINTY UNDERGARMENT
BY MAY MANTO

The perfectly simple chemise is the
one that is preferred by most women.
This one consists of just two pieces
and is plain at both front and back.
1t can be made with round or square
or-pointed neck and, if liked, beading
can be arranged over the waist line
and threaded with ribbon by means
of which the chemise can be drawn
up to form a corset cover and pet
ticoat. Nainsook finished with a lit
lie hand embroidery, with beading
and lace makes the garment illus
trated, but scalloped edges are very
dainty and are much liked and they
can be used either with or without
the design on the front. Washable
silks are being much used for I'M
der-gsrments. and this garment can
be made of crepe de chine or of
Habutai silk as well as the familiar
cottons.
For the medium size, the chemise
will require 2as yards of material s6
or "A with 2h yards of beading and
So Yards of edging TO trim as shown
in trent view. 4 yards Of beading to
trim as shown in small view.
The May Manton pattern of the

for neck and sleeve edges. They
will be mailed to any address by the

Homemade cakes are often looked
upon as a delicacy. or as an extrava-
gance. Why this should be | never
can make out.
Whether they are a delicacy de-
ponds on the skill with which they
are made and the materials of which
they are composed.
An extravaganza they are certainly
not if simple kinds be made and care
taken in their preparation.
A great deal depends on the oven.
Make up a good fire. of coal or a
mixture of small coal and coke. The
latter is more economical and gives
a nice even heat.
Cakes. like pastry, need a good
| steady heat. With cakes it may 80
down a little towards the end of ne
time they are in the oven. My old
cook used TO say she liked the cake
left in a little to soak towards the
end. BY this she meant hat it went
on cooking without browning.
If it is possible TO have an oven
thermometer it is an enormous help.
BY it you will know exactly how hot
an oven should be when the cake or
pastry goes in-240 degrees is the
right heat for ba king q cake.
Having considered the oven, let us
think of the ingredients for the cake.
See that the -four is dry and free
from Jumps. Always pass it through
a sieve.
When using dripping be sure that it
is well clarified. Nothing is nicer for
a plain cake than good beef dripping.
To clarity dripping you must cut
il up in pieces. then put il in a bowl
and pour eve it plenty Of boiling
water. The. heat will dissolve il and
take out all that's not coed. The fat
