PADS AND FANC1Es


 Sweaters have found their way into fashions favor and are being worn in the country with suits of various col ors on overskirts of dull brown and blue.
 A craze for antique velvet is pre- dfcted. Antique velvet is merely vel vet in soft tones that have the ap- pearance of being delicately faded like piece of material haif a century old
 One of the most satisfactory posses sions a woman can have in her ward robe is the one-piece frock of thin blue serge with loose surplice blouse and a long turnover white muslin
 There is a pretty blouse called the riding blouse It is of heavy white china silk. has a deep shoulder yoke line of gathers across the front and a line of large pearl buttons The sleeves are long, with narrow turn- over cuff Under the turnover col. lar is a mannish cravat run through with a scarfpin. This is strictly a house blouse and for morning wear on the street

BEAUTY CHATS
THE sKIN .IN wIN1ER
By Blanche Beacon.


 There is no season Of the year that is so hard on the skin as the winter.
 This is not entirely due to the out side atmosphere but may have as g contributing cause the difference in In the steam heated apartments of the city or the furnace or stove heat ed homes in the country the teInpera- ture varies and persons with sensi- tive skins will feel the difference in pasEzng from room to room
 The skin will become coarse and roughened unless care is taken to pr vent it. and only the most judicious treatment will restore it to its original softness. Excessive dryness of the skin with it's attendant scaliness is the penalty we pay for neglecting our skin in winter
 We have all been mortified by hav- ing on our faces large chapped and reddened areas which no amount of powder can conceal
 Habitual confinement in badly ven- tilated rooms will cause the skin to absord much impure air and lack Of cleanliness will cause its pores to become clogged- It is scientific fact that a large percentage Of our hr eat- ing is done through the skin. There fore the importance Of keeping the eazin clean Is manifest
 Beauty creates love, but cleanIi- ness preserves it. is an old quota ton and to my mind, almost an ak lon- 1t is easy to keep the skin beau fiful when we coueioer how plentiful is soap and water and fresh air. The face should never be washed in the winter just before going out because the water opens up the pores and makes it chap if exposed to the air too soon.
 However, if you must go out before noon, use cold cream on the face after it's warm water bath Rub if carefully in and remove it with a piece of gauge, Here Is my Orange Flower skin Food which has appeared before, but which always worth repeating:
 White wax, one-half ounce.
 spermaceti, one-haIf ounce
 Lano71n, one ounce
 Sweet almond oil two ounces
 Cccoanut oil, oAe ounce.

CLUE NOTES.

Dear Doctor:-I have an attack once or twice a year, usually in early Win- ter. or spring. The pains begin two or three hours after eating and seem to be over the whole M<oEnach and are so ,;ickening that I have no ambition
 whs teyer. and I lose from ten to twen- ty pounds in weight sometimes, The stomae eh does not burn or feel sore,
 but cannot describe the pain any way. have tried starvation, dieting and drugs, but the attack generally continues for from two to three weeks l in spite of all. Between times I can
 digest asd enjoy food as well as I need and feel strong and ambitious. am not yet thirty years of age, five feet, eleven inches tall, and weigh. in normal health, from 160 to 1T0 pounds. I would like to have more flesh as I am rather Ianky. Can you
 suggest a means? Please give 9uch could tell you in three words the
 cause of your suffering, but if I should stop there neither you nor oth- CTS would be benefited. Those words would be .'overeating and constipa-
 tion-,' You have, evidently, a strong constitution and naturally good di- gestion, but you either eat too much
 at time. or too often, possibly both. Probably you drink 8 cup of tea or $coffee at each meal. I would suggest that if you drink tea coffee that you cut it out entirely, also. any other liquids that you may be in the habit
 of taking with your meals You
 should also confine yourself to two
 meals a day for d month or longer
 Take more time for eating and chew
 your food more thoroughly. Eat about two ounces of almond nuts for dessert
 after the principal meal and at night
 before retiring drink two tumberfuIs of sweet milk to which has been added one large cupful of scalding
 water. and a pinch of salt Take the juice of one orange or one lemon each morning.

 The best azours for the two meals are at 9.30 a. m- and at 4rsO p. m. You will gain in flesh and strength and avoid indigestion and consttpa$ion The Club books will tell you more about constipation and how to overcome it. also how to take flesh and take it off.
 Thorough mastfcation is one of the most important essentials toward over coming indigestions and all food should be ciaewed until it is a liquid in the mouth. nothing drank while eating. By doing so the food will be thor oughly mixed with the saliva, very valuable digestant, and the food will be partly qigested before reaching the stomach, thus relieving that long suffering organ of much unneceesary work Nsss ssF 4t.-s g.4 s

Men win Applaud.

They will wish the whole world of women were patterned after her type. She will get along Letter in the world than her too-timid sister. If once g. eowardlIy fellow is brought to 8. reai- Ization that the woman he is making eyes at is acaurag eous, able to defend herself at any place, she need have no fear of further nolestation from him.

 Nerves: lContinuation of articles written for Home Health Club by +. lIindiahr M D. How to prepare Vegetables. After the vegetables are thoroughly washed place them in the cooking vessel. adding only enougn water to keep them from burning, cover the vessel closely with a lid land let them steA1n slowly in their own juices. The kIeafy vegetables (cabbage, spinach, kale, atc.,1 usually contain enough water for their own stearning.
 Cook all vegetables only as long as l IS required to- make them soft enough for easy mastication- Do net throw away a drop of the water in which vegetables have been cooked. Use whatever is left for the making oE soups and sauces.
 The organic mineral salts contained in vegetables readily boil out into the water. If the vegetables, as is the usual custom, are boiled in a. large quantity of water, then drained or, what is still worse, pressed out. f4ley al value The mineral salts have yan- lished in the sink. the remains are in sipid and indiEestib1e, and have to be soaked in soup stock and seasoned with strong condiments and spices to make them at all pa.latable. The nat l. most delicate.
 The starchy foods should be thor oughly masticated and mixed with sa- 1 iiva. The drinking water must be of natural temperature, as it comes from well or hydrant. Food and drink should never be taken hot or icy cold. This foolish habit will, in time, ruin 1 the best of stonacks. Do not eat 1 when over-tired, or ernotionally ex- cited Do not eat the heavy meal lof the day between working hours.
 These are just a few of the most important rules which, if strictly fol- lowed, will soon improve the diges- 1 tion and insure better elimination and l freer movements of the bowels.
 In many instances. however, even the best combination of food and drink will not overcome indigestion and mall nutrition. because through long con- tinued abuse the digestive organs have become so diseased and atrophied that they cannot properly digest and as- sirnilate5 even the best of food mater 1 ia1s. Tn such cases the digestive orr gans must be made more active and
