and IA full bouffant skirt that ended
seven or eight inches from the floor.
The pantalettes were gathered into
band about the ankles and ended with
q tiny lace frill above the white stock

pers. On an old-fashoned chair nearby
was a stiff little bouquet of artificial
flowers edged with lace-auite like the

Ancient Breakfast Food.

WYE moderns look on breakfast food as
" one of the blessings, or curses. of

man into two classes according to his
way of thinking about breakfast food.
He belongs either to the class that thinks
the Scotch produced such men as Burns
and Sir Walter Scott because of or in
spite of their fondness for oatmeal The
one who belongs to the 'in-s spite-of' class
thinks that breakfast food aids and abets
softening teeth, anemia. poor digestion
and nervousness The "because-of class
locks on breakfast food as the main
stay of life.
Whatever we thing of breakfast food.
most of us think it is a modern charac-
teristic. 1t isn't.
. In the Canary Islands ever since four
teen hundred and something, the natives
have eaten a breakfast food called gofio.
which is made from wheat and barley.
In times when the wheat or barley crop
has failed they have used other edible
grains in the preparation of this food,
SO they have had plenty of variety.

which catches and holds shreds and

such as measuring tape, sewing silk. cot
ton, needles. pins, buttons hooks and
eyes. bindings. bones, tape. darning cot
ton and all the little things required in

Keep in one of the drawers of the chif-
fonier rolls of lining, the leftover pieces
of goods, trimmings which remain after
making a gown and other fragments
which have been laid aside for possible
use. all rolled, tied and marked. Pat
terms should have drawer to themselves
and should be marked and arranged in
order. Book shelves should hold fashion
books and magazines.
sewing room should be we'll lighted
both by day and by night. If you have
electricity in the house an electric iron
will be a boon. Keep on a shelf bottles
containing cleaning fluids of various
kinds-ammonia, alcohol. ether. as well
as French chalk and cleansing powders
sponges. fiannels. etc. Since a sewing
room is occupied more or less constantly,
it should be kept neat and clean Cover
