Magee, who can be merry through

For answer she fiattened her finely
modelled nose into shapelessness

in the candle lighted room, the mot

stood about in various attitudes of
waiting. In front of the fire the
holder of the chair of comparative
literature quoted poetry to Mrs.
Norton, and probably 1t never
occurred to the old man that
the woman to whom he talked

Chloroform for

n.ar Mt. n.,

Dear Miss Doom


Will you please tell me how to
use chloroform, to take out grease
spots of a dark blue silk dress. /
am kind of scared to use 1t with
out advice. Also tell me how to gain
flesh? Is olive oil good? | am a
poor eater, SO please tell me what
to do. l am feeling fine, yours truly,
MRS. l. II.
Place clean blotter underneath
the spot, then rub with the chloro-
form, using a soft piece of flannel
for the purpose. Rub quickly tow
ard the centre The chloroform will
loosen the grease and the blotter
viii absorb it.
Olive oil is an aid TO digestion,
therefore indirectly, it is flesh
builder If your appetite is poor
il is sign that you are not in con-
dition. Perhaps you do not get
enough exercise in the open air.
Walk a great deal and sleep in a
room with the windows wide open,
even when the weather is very cold.
You will enjoy 1t If you have plenty
of covers.
Avoid ice cream sodas, candy and
other things which, taken between
meals, only serve to kill ones nat
ural appetite. Eat plenty of good,
wholesome food, and drink about
two quarts of water daily. Avoid
tea and coffee

To some young relatives, making

To a sister in a distant State will

very little money that | am almost

Partridge Canapes

Truss two tender plump young
cartridges, tie some thin slices of
Harding bacon over the breasts,
and roast them on u spit before a
quick fire for about twenty minutes.
While cooking fry some slices OF
bread in butter and place them in
the dripping pan to absorb the gravy
that falls from the birds. When
ready to serve place the toasted
bread on a dish with partridge
on each one, pour a little boiling wa
ter into the dripping pan and serve
the gravy in a sauce boat. Garnish
with sliced lemon and watercress.

French Soaps Help to Make
the Guest Room Dainty

One pays a bit more for soap from
Paris, but it's presence in the guest
room adds an extra grace and dis
tinction that makes up for the slight
ly higher price
Somehow, these Partisan soaps,
like real French perfumes, have a
more delicate color and a more elu-
sive yet lasting fragrance than the
cheaper home products.
For the green and white room
there is a lettuce soap that is par
ticularly dainty in color and par
ticularly pleasing in odor.
Verveine is another pale green soap
that is delightful, and a pure white
soap called cyclamen is attractive in
room of any color
One may obtain, also, rose and vio-
let tinted soaps for rooms in these
colorings.

Every type of figure has a charm
of it's own. just as every type OF face
has an individual attraction for those
who have eyes to see.
But, as you can change and alter
your figure, much more easily than
you can your face, you must take
care to train 1t into the best posi-
BILE example of its own particular
type.
Are you short and plump"
Well, then you must recognize at
once that the charm of your figure
lies in the softness of it's curves, and
that its weakness lies in the fact
that it may tend, in time. to become
heavy.
You should dress in such way as
to make the best of those soft. pretty
curves, and you should avoid like the
plague anything that tends TO make
ridges or Shelves on you.

Dainty Crepe Collars for
the Woman in Mourning

Silk crepe collars In the Puritan
shape, which is fashionable for mourn
ing wear, and having the deep hens
always used on such collars, are very
expensive in the shops.
A smart collar costs at least 81, and
cuffs are proportionately expensive.
The white silk crepe by the yard
costs about 81 also, and yard will
make three collars.
Such a collar may be fashioned by
a clever needle-woman in an hour, the
hem being set in with tiny hand
stitches.

Olive Oil for the Hair
Dear Miss Doom:

VNdI VI - I0VVII.
Kindly inform me if olive oil is
good for the hair, And what will
make my hair glossy? II is dry
and dull-looling. RUTH S.
Olive oil is nourishing. The hair
should be parted and the oil rubbed
into the scalp. Do not get any more
ON the hair itself than you can help.
Brushing the hair thoroughly at
night, combined with the use of the
oil, will make it glossy and improve
its growth.

Deep Breathing and Cold
Cream

Dear Miss Doom
Should deep breathing be prac-
tised through the nostrils2 Also,
for how long should one practise 1t
at a time? Is there anything to put
in the water to cut the cold cream
from the face? Thanking you in adj
vance, HARRY l..
I'm afraid you are trying to have
some fun at my expense, Harry.
Surely, you wouldn't think OF
breathing through your mouth.
Practise deep breathing when
ever you get an opportunity. 1t is
a good idea to stand by an open win
dow in the morning, place the arms
straight up over the head, and
breathe slowly until the lungs are
full. Then exhale, slowly, bending
the body from the Hips, until the
finger tips touch the floor.
Toilet vinegar or alcohol will cut
the cold cream.
