CORRECT MOURNING

Does not offer a very wide range of
materials from which to select. The
real mourning fabrics are not many
and are not recognized by many, which
may account for the departures often
observed in the selection of such cos
tunes. For warm weather wear crepe.
Henrietta cloth, dull finished crepe de
chine. chiffon and Brussels net, black
lawn and organdie, with footing for
trimming constitute the list for mourn
ing dress, while for rough wear the
choice should rest with cheviots or
camel's hair and g~ros-grain or ar
mure,' where silk is desired.
For plain white dresses for n
members, only simple white lawn, with
footing trimming, should be used and
for hair and sash ribbons. gros-grain
or taffeta.
Those who adhere strictly to rule in
these matters have only high neck and
long sleeves In their mourning gowns.
The widow wears collar and cuffs of
fine white organdie and sometimes a
white ruche in her hat, but this latter
fashion is not considered in best taste.
though much liked and widely counte-
nanced.

Food is divided into two classes. food
and beverage. The function of each
division is to nourish the body. Grow
ing bodies need more food in proper
ton to weight than a body that is de-
veloped and in a state of maturity. A
body that is deteriorating, as with age
or illness. needs a less amount Of food.
but it must contain greater nourish-
ment.
The fats and oils produce heat and
energy and the sugars and starches
form ANNA fat, so it is seen that every
sort Of food acts upon the entire body.
No food can stimulate the brain alone
or the nerves alone. though such claims
are constantly made for certain
health foods. The Illinois State
Board Of Health has issued a pamphlet
on the choice of food, the harmful eff
fects Of meatless diet, and the neces-
sity of variety in food, that interests
everyone who considers wholesome Ivy
ing.
"To build flesh. three meals a day
are necessary" it reads, and mutton,
beef, milk and eggs are Indispensable.

much nourishment as two eggs or
three ounces of lean meat"
The following menu is suggested for
nervous people:
Breakfast-Fruit. cereal. toast and
butter, cocoa.
L~unch-Soup, rare roast beef. NUT
ton or poultry, starchy vegetables like
potatoes, beets, peas, beans, corn. cauli-
flower and turnips. as well as ~sueculent
nes like asparagus, spinach and Gel
cry; milk, bread pudding, steam fruits
and baked apples.
Evening meal-Milk, eggs, bread and
butter and j%ellies. nuts and fresh
cooked meats.
Milk must be slipped, the eggs taken
raw, poached or boiled. or the eggs and
milk may be mixed into a beverage.
Butter is fattening and well-made

Games for a Surprise Party.

Dear Miss Doom:
One of our crowd is going away. At
the last minute we want to make up q
surprise party. There are sixteen boys
and sixteen girls, ages from % to Is. We
thought of a ~marshmallow roast for one
thing. There is really only a large kitchen
and dining-room for us to use. Can't you
please help us with suggestions for games,
refreshments, ETC., in this short time?
We are all eagerly awaiting your reply
and very sincerely thank you.
THE CROWD.
The game, Il Come, You Co." is
simple to play and does not require
much space. The guests seal them
selves around a table; then someone
begins by saying: 81 came from the
jewelers.. His name is James Jackson.
l got some jet from him. Now you go
to the grocer's." The neighbor on the
right of the first player must take up
the game by saying: IT came, from the
grocer's. His name is George Graves.
/ got some ginger from him. Now you
go to the niilliner's, and so on along
the line of guests.
Whoever makes a mistake or is I'M
able to finish his sentence must pay a
forfeit.
Another interesting pastime for
small space Is a lemon anne Provide
one lemon for each guest with four
wooden meat skewers for each lemon
and several piles of assorted colors of
tissue paper with papers of boxes Of
pins of various sizes and colors and as
many pair of shears as you can find.
The guests are seated around the
table and the scheme is to see who can
make the best looking doll in the short
est time.
Another good idea is a bonnet party.
The girls should bring for this n
hat shape which has been discarded
and any odds and ends in the way of
ribbon which can be gathered together.
The materials are laid in one pile and
the hats on another space, the boys of
the party selecting a hat and i'm
material out of which he must construct
a wonderful millinery creation for his
partner. The girls should be furnished
with a tiny mirror in which she can
prove the progress of the -milliner as
the hat nears completion. These little
mirrors need not cost much. Partners
may be found by little clover leaves cut
from cardboard of green. and cut in
two sections, then the guests each draw
a section from a box or hat and match
for partners.
For refreshments serve dainty sand
witches, some made with cream cheese
and chopped English .walnuts, others
with minced ham seasoned with horse
radish sauce or a little salad dressing
and some with deviled eggs; or, if
sweets be desired to vary. then chop
dates, walnuts and figs and mix with a

tween dainty thin slices of buttered

these serve either fruit lemonade or
hot chocolate.

bread and sweet spreads are wholesome
articles Of diet. Pure fats ars also
found in oily fish Ike sardines. salmon
and sturgeon. Condiments ike horse
radish. vinegar and mustard tend to
stimulate the appetite and are advised.
The rules for right eating are so
simple that any intelligent person
should understand them.
Food should not be taken when suf-
fering from bodily fatigue or mental or
nervous excitement, advises the pam
phlet. Take a nap twenty minutes be-
fore the hearty midday or evening
meal This is more importsnt than 10
rest after eating, though the latter is
advised. Drink plenty of water he
tween meals. but take little liquid With
solid food"
There is no definite diet that can be
given to fit all cases. but every diet.
whether followed to reduce or to
build up, should be carefully studied.
for it is solely out of our food that our
bodies are formed and nourished.
Americans are often criticised for tire
pernicious habit of rapid eating. We
cheat ourselves Of the pleasure and
benefit Of our food through this care
less habit. II mastication was not
necessary teeth would not nave been
given as.
Certain minerals are as necessary 10
health as other elements. Without
them the body decays. Common salt Is
n of these. 1t is composed Of muriaric
acid and soda. and 1t is found In the
flesh of animals. in milk and In eggs.
Some health faddists condemn salt
along with other seasoning. yet terrible
evils result when it cannot be had. and
we are all familiar with the eagerness
with which domestic animals devour il.
and how constantly wild animals travel
miles to salt springs. Sulphur is found
in the muscles and PHOSPHORUS Ia The
bone structure. Lime exists In water
and vegetables and meat. So that the
need of a mixed diet is at once APP

A DeOdOrizer.
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS Doon.
Can you give the cause, preventive or
cure of the disagreeable odor coming from
the armpits, especially in warm weather?
] tried many things recommended by my
friends, but without much benefit. Thank
ing you, respectfully yours, b..
This condition no doubt is due to
acids in the blood, and the only way
to remedy it is to battle frequently, not
using too hot water, and applying a
good powder frequently. A little bay
rum or alcohol applied occasionally is
also helpful. A good powder for dust
ing consists of two drains of powder
ed calamine, one ounce of powdered
F1orentine oris root and three ounces
of powdered starch.
II extraordinary care in the above
particulars do not help it may be that
your physician can give you a remedy
for the blood which will reduce the
trouble.
There are various excellent prepara-
tions which are made for this purpose.
and II you inquire CO your druggist he
will recommend several such powders
or formulas.

A PRETTY FROCK OF LINEN
SERGE.
BY MAY MANTON

Little girls wear many box plated
one-piece dresses just now, and this
one is well adapted to school and to
general wear. 1t is made of linen serge
in one of the fashionable tan shades,
and is trimmed with red linen of plain
weave. The combination of colors is
an effective one, and the dress
altogether practical as well as smart.
The box plaits are laid for the entire
length. so giving an effect of height
and slenderness. The dress is very
simple, easily made, and the model is
adapted to many materials. The soft
finished piques and the cotton poplins
are handsome and durable, the ging-
hams include a very charming variety
and would be very pretty SO made, and
there are numberless other fabrics that
might be mentioned. For tina cool days
throughout the early spring and early
summer, serge, shepherds check and
fabrics of the kind are pretty with
trimming of taffeta. If the dress IS
wanted for the later season and for
more dressy occasions the neck can be
made round and the sleeves short, and
if it is used in this way it can be made
from the lighter and thinner materials
with perfect success.
For the Swear size will be required 6
yards of material 81, 3 yards S6 inches
wide with Is yard of plain for the trim
ming.
May Manton pattern, No. 6716, in
sizes from 6 to 10 years, will be mailed

TO BE GRACEFUL

If you want to be graceful don't
look at your feet, but hold your head
up in the air. Don't shuttle. A little
thoughtfulness and practise in high
stepping soon breaks you of this ugly
habit. Don't bend your back at the
waist under the impression that you
are thereby walking erectly. 1t throws
the stomach forward and is almost
as inimical to grace as round shoulders.
Finally, don't allow yourself to walk
'pigeon-toed"-that is, with the toes
turned in or straight. You can never
be graceful in movement while you dc.

THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH

In observing the physical character
istics of her children, the careful moth
er soon learns that health is depend
ent on the regularity of the bowels.
When the bowels become clogged with
the stomach's refuse, loss Of appetite,
restlessness, irritability, and similar
evidences of disorder are soon appar-
ent. Keep the bowels regular and
healthy, happy child is assured.
At the first sign of constipation the
mother should administer a mild laxa-
tive to carry off the congested waste
from the stomach that is fermenting
and forcing poisonous gases into the
system. A simple compound of laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin is highly recon-
mended as being very mild, yet posi-
tive, in its action, a teaspoonful at
bedtime usually serving to bring an
easy, thorough, natural movement
next morning. This compound is
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
and is sold by druggists everywhere
for soc a bottle. A larger bottle, put
up especially for the family medicine
chest, costs one dollar.
The use of salts and violent purga-
tives and cathartics should be avoid
ed. They are too harsh and drastic,
tending to upset the entire system.

But unfortunately there are never

fers the desirable ones-i O., the

against her first obstacle-every 9th

come to the some conclusion. From
the instant she realizes this she
must declare war on every other men,

Men must often wonder at that mi
