Your success in warding off fat

Exercising one day and resting the

INDUCING your appetite at another
will accomplish nothing. Cultivate
thoroughness and persistence.
Eat sparingly of foods contain

lean parts of meat are to be eaten.
Sweets are fattening. You'll be-
ware of them, even if 1t is hard, il
YOU are in earnest, even to omit
ting cream from your coffee and
tea. All fruits, with the exception
of bananas, are permitted, but must
be eaten without sugar.
Eat plenty of apples and prunes.
Avoid thick soups, butter, fresh
bread and rich GRAVES,
walking several miles every day
will help a great deal. provided the
gait is sufficiently rapid to increase
the circulation and wear down the

success will depend upon regularity.
Even the restricted diet will not
help you If you fail to exercise.
Above all things, beware of anti

Embroideries May Be
Easily Cleaned at Home

1t would cost a small fortune to
send all our embroideries to a profess
sional cleaner these days, when they
are many, for clothing and household
things are plentifully adorned with
them.
II the embroidery is done with col
ors add salt to the rinsing water
which should be clean and moderately
hot, says the Philadelphia Record
This will set the colors of silks or
cottons so they will not run. 1t is a
wise precaution to immense colored
embroideries in salt water before
washing in the bran water
To clean them at home most sue
cessfully place a half-pint of bran in
a pan and add the same amount of
cold water. Allow it to boil slowly
for twenty minutes, and then strain
through a fine cloth. Add a pint of
boiling water, and use this mixture to
wash fine embroideries and laees for
the first time. Sqeeze them gently
with the hands. and if they are much
soiled, soap jelly can be added to the
mixture. This is made by dissolving
pure soap in boiling water.

Perspiration and the Blood

Dear Margery Doom
Am a steady reader of The Star
and take great pleasure in reading
Your column. Please tell me what
is good for perspiration and what
will cool my blood. AGNES C.
A normal flow of perspiration is
to be desired, as 1T is a first aid to
clear, fresh skin. A powder which
is slightly astringent and to be rec
commended for excessive perspira-
ton, is made from two drains each
of oxide of zinc and boracic acid,
. four drains of lycopodium powder,
an ounce of starch and half an
ounce of powdered orris root. These
must be mixed and then sifted
many times to mingle thoroughly.
Apply with big puff, busting
quickly.
Would advise you to consult a
physician about your blood. There
are excellent cream of tartar and
sulphur tablets on the market
which you might try.

The Stars

A little dear child lay in its crib
and sobbed because it was afraid of
the dark. And it's father in the
room below, heard the sobs and came
up and said: What ails you, my
dearie, and why do you weep"
And the child said: "Oh, father,
am afraid of the dark. Nurse says
l am too big to have taper, but all
the corners are full of dreadful black
ness, and 1 think there are things in
them with eyes that would look at
me If l looked at them; and if they
look at me 1 should die. Oh, father
terrible thing as darkness? Why can
not it be always day.
The father took the child in his
arms and carried 1t downstairs ana
out into the summer night.
Look up, dearie!" he said, in his
strong, kind voice. Look up and see
Gods little lights!''
The little one looked up and saw
the stars spangling the blue veil of
the sky; bright as candles they
burned and yellow as gold.
"Oh father" cried the child, what
are those lovely things?"
InoSe are stars from heaven, !"
said the father. "Those are Gods
little lights"
But why have 1 never seen them

What a wonderful circus it was!
Dorothy and the others elasped
hands in terror when the trapeze
artists swung high in the air. A
slim young woman with Autfy
skirts balanced on her toes on a
bar far above the children's heads,
flinging kisses with careless grace
to the admiring, gasping watchers
below.
I'VE could try it on the clothes
line" whispered Mary Elizabeth
to Dorothy. do you s'pose we
could? Or maybe We could tie up
the swing in your yard and stand
on the seat
You try it if you want to, Mary
'Lizbeth," said Dorothy with
shrug of her shoulders. II know
I couldn't. Look Here comes the
clowns again! See the one with
the funny ruffies all over his suit.
He's the funniest clown of all, L
think" And Dorothy leaned for
ward in her seat, trying to keep
her eyes on all three rings at once.
He's got awful big feet" COM
mented Davie. Aren't they,
thought"
Mary Elizabeth stuck her nose
in the air. They're not his real
feet" she informed Davie. They're

on like shoes. doesn't he, father
Mr.. Brown said yes, and, of course,
Davie had TO believe him, though
he continued TO eye the clowns
feet with doubt.
Fat little Billy was very quiet.
Only his eyes told how much he
was enjoying himself. When the
little trick ponies danced in to do
their dainty little tricks Billy stood
up and leaned forward. His father
pulled him back and Billy sat down
again, but he said never a word.
Even when his father placed an
ice cream cone in his hand Billy
remained silent, though he began
to eat ii in an absentminded way.
And when the nimble little Jap

poles and slide down slanting ropes
Billy quite forgot the cone AMI ret

A Dainty Design for Lingerie Hat or Boudor Cap
BY MARGARET LAWRENCE

This dainty design, number 1859,
for a lingerie hat or boudoir cap is
very simple and easy to embroider.
1t should be stamped on fine white
round thread linen, lawn, batiste, or
handkerchief linen and developed
with mercerized cotton in solid work,
eyelets, French knots, and outline
stitch.
This hat may be laid fiat when
Numbered, and the ribbon, which
runs through the large eyelets, not
only draws it into shape, but adds a
bit of color. If desired, this hat may
be made of colored linen to match the
dress.
The scalloped edge should be firm
~ padded so as to keep it's shape,

Cleaning White Embroidered

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you please let me know how
to clean a white net dress embroid-
cred with white silk, and oblige,
MISS p.
1t is always advisable to send an
expensive gown to professional
cleaner. However, gasoline and
patience will cleanse your dress
nicely at home, think. Let 1t soak
in a pail of the fluid for fifteen or
twenty minutes, sousing up and
down and rubbing the soiled places
gently between the palms of the
hands, taking care not to rumple
the frills. Rinse in clean gasoline
and hang out of doors to dry. Do
not squeeze or wiring. The gasoline
will quickly evaporate.
Caution-Do not use gasoline near
a fire, or in warm room, or even
where there is a lighted gas jet.
1t is highly irf1ammable,

Ugly Spots on a Checked Skirt

Dear MISS Doom:
Please tell me what will take spots
caused by crude oil and mutton
tallow out of black and white
check skirt (half cotton, half wood.
Many thanks. S. M.
l think that chloroform will re-
move the spots. Place clean blot
ter underneath, then rub quickly
with the fluid, using a soft cloth or
a sponge for the purpose. Do not
attempt to remove the spots with
out the plotting paper, the purpose
of which is to absorb the loosened
grease. 1t would be a good idea to
soak the oil spots in lard for
a couple of hours before using the
chloroform.

Small Pieces of Soap

Small pieces of soap are usually
thrown away, but quite a little econ
omy may be practlsed if the odd ends
are gathered together and placed in
pan, covered with water and al
lowed to come slowly to the boiling
point. Then pour the melted soap
into molds or dishes; allow it to cool.
and the result will be new cakes of
soap. If oatmeal is added to the dis
solved soap, it will improve it.

FINE CHECKS AND DARK PLADS FAVORED FOR TAILORED
SUITS

Almost extinct is the old-fashioned,
strictly tailored suit; it has been re-
placed by one showing easier lines;
this may be suitably worn accompan-
led by one of the sheer lacey blouses
that have become such general favor
ties for the past season or two for an
afternoon tea or a bridge party. The
ever-young shepherd checks in black
and white are being combined with
plain cloth or serge In these suits and
at a recent showing of French models
quite a number of colored checks were
noticed. 1t is a pleasing fad to pipe
the lines with a bright green or scar
let; this introduces just enough con-
trast for conservative dressers and
renders the dress or suit more becom-
ing.
