TO ACQUIRE SHAPELY ANKLES
In These Days Of the Short Skirt Its
Possession Is Something Greatly
to Be Desired.

There used to be a time when our
dresses, or at least the dresses of our
mothers, reached to the floor, or so
nearly so that brush braid or coarse
binding on the bottom hem was nee
esary to preserve the fabric. In those
days. if the tiniest bit of a feminine
ankle showed above the shoetop 1t
was a cue for woman &c blush
Praise be. these conditions do not
hold today. What with our hobble
skirts, slit skirts, tight skirts, short
skirts and now short circular skirts,
we have become accustomed to dis
playing our ankles. Woman's right
to the possession of ankles has finally
been recognized, consequently pretty
ankles are greatly to be desired, as
they add to ones general appearance
and beauty is indeed a duty.
To improve the shapeliness of ankles,
exercise and massage will do Won
ders. 1t will be found that most
ankles which are unattractive, or not
quite so shapely as the possessor
might wish, either lack sufficient
flesh or else are too fleshy.
If your ankles are little stout you
can reduce them in a month. or two
months at the most. by means of a
little exercise ten minutes morning
and night. Remove the shoes and
stockings and cross the knees so that
the support is removed from one
ankle. Thrust out the foot and move
1t around from the ankle in a twisting
motion, then bend it up and down.
sure that all this Is done with
the ankle bone. When one foot be-
comes tired shift position and exer-
else the other ankle.-C. Eleanor
Mather in New York Press.

SIR ROBERT BORDEN

The announcement that an i'm
perial conference is likely to be held
In Ioudon next summer, and that the
project has been the subject of cor
respondence between the British and
Canadian governments is regarded by
Canadians generally as giving consid-
cradle significance to the persistent
references, in Sir Robert Borden's re-
cent speeches, to Canada's unsatis-
factory status In the British empire
in respect of foreign affairs.
In the very first speech which the
prime minister delivered after the
outbreak Of the war he made 1t clear
that In his opinion the war and the
various issues which it raised en-
phasized the undesirability of the
overseas dominions being without the
slightest voice or influence In the
management of the foreign affairs of
the empire. This point he has re-
iterated, emphasized and elaborated
on In series of addresses.

Henrietta ID. Grauel
A Sauce for This and One for That

Hunger is called the best sauce, but
there are many besides it that give
variety to plain fare and improve even
costly foods.
Sauces may be divided for our con
venience into sweet sauces, as those
made for puddings, fruits and desserts,
and white and brown sauces that are
used on meats and vegetables. We will
consider the latter.
The roux is the base of all the varia
tions of these dressings; it is made by
melting one tablespoon of butter and
blending one tablespoon of -four into it
and adding a cup of cream if You are
making cream sauce, or milk if for
white sauce. If glaze or half stock and
half milk is used it is called Bechamel
sauce, and if additional richness is Sc
cured with egg yolks it becomes
poulette sauce.
White sauces are used on sweet
breads, veal, white meat of fowl and
on delicate vegetables like celery, cauli-
flower and the like. Great care is used
to prevent the butter browning while
it is melting, for this would discolor the
dressing.
Dark, rich looking sauces are con-
sidered correct for chops, outlets, cro-
quettes and dark colored entrees. The
seasoning used gives the name to the
dressing; for instance, Espagnole sauce
is peppery, hot and seasoned with on
ion and spices.
Sauce Piquante has capers and bits of
gherkins in it, and is both sharp and
sweet Soubise sauce is onion favored
and Bernaise is much like Mayonnaise
dressing. The French chef declares it
does not make any difference what he
has to cook, dinner will always be sue
