DRESS AS AN ART

and there and the distinctive note is struck which makes all the difference to the general appearance.
 Some women are tiresome about their hats. They never by any chance pin them on at smart angle. The smartest French models become merely mediocre in their hands, or, rather, on their heads. The fact that there are right and wrong ways of wearing head gear is beyond their consideration. some women, again, have such excel lent latent possibilities that ones fingers itch to smarter them up-wom- en with exquisite profles, lovely color ing, good figures; women who could be the exposure of every eye would they only take more trouble about their clothes and their general appearance. So many are content to let everything slide, not to bother about detail and, without being exactly untidy. they give an impression of carelessness that the cleverest dressmakers and milliners in the world cannot counteract.
 The art of dress is chiefly attention to detail, a minute study given to small | matters that produce a perfect whole, 1 deftness of touch and quickness of eye that discover exactly where re- form is needed and how that reform can be carried out This Is the French woman's secret, an tnborn knowledge that. in spite of close competition. still keeps her first among the women of the world who aspire to lead in the realms of Mime. de Mode.

front, with the chin and palms down. Take a long breath while counting seven. inhaling through the nose and holding the breath while lifting the full weight of the body once on the palms of the hands and toes. Now let the body down lightly upon the floor and exhale through the mouth while count ing six. Rest in this position for a moment before taking a second lift, and this time try to raise the body twice while holding the breath. This will be difficult at first, and the patient need not be surprised if she becomes a little lame or stiff. This inconvenience will wear off about the third or fourth day. The exercise will reduce the hips.
 Exercise 3.-Stand full height with hands stretched above the head as far as possible, thumbs together and palms facing forward. Without bending the knees bend forward at the waist until the tips of the fingers touch the floor
 Do this five times each night and morn ing until it can be done without ap-
 parent effort. It will be found very diff ficult at first and will leave the limbs very stiff, but pay no attention to this

and without mussing up a room. whether heated by alcohol or by cleo trlclty. 1t is easily handled and kept clean. This is true of chaf1ng dishes or copper, nickel and silver plate. In cooking on chafing dish it is well to use nigh proof spirit because it gives more heat, burns without odor and proves less expensive If you do not want 10 make the work any more difi- cult than is necessary be sure to have the necessary ingredients and your measuring cups and spoons with your chafing dish on a table before your guests arrive.
 The dishes that may be prepared by this simple device are endless. They include toast, griddlecakes. fritters, meat. vegetable dishes, cheese dishes. fancy eggs and many others. Here are four or the many recipes:
 Chilled Oysters.-Clean one pint of oysters and drain off all the liquor possible Put the oysters in blazer and as fast as liquor flows from them remove with a spoon. So continue un- til the oysters are plump. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add two table, spoonfuls butter and. serve on small pieces of toast

Chafing Dish Household Need

TT was the college girl at her mid
 night spreads who. wishing to give feasts to some of her classmates, dis covered the practicability of the chaf ing dish.
 Busy with her studies and classes all day, she had little time to market or to prepare an elaborate supper. More often than not she had to do her mar keting after class hours and prepare her supper while entertaining her guests. This worried her little because she could get things ready and talk to her friends at one time.
 Now the chaf1ng dish has asserted itself and is found in most well con- ducted homes. In small families it is often called into use at the breakfast or at the luncheon meal It is more commonly used for informal suppers and after theater spreads. Bachelors who had little confidence in handling gas or coal range find themselves equal to the chaf1ng dish and this form of entertainment.
 It Is always valuable when prepar- ing dainty dish for a convalescent or an invalid, because almost any dish can be had by this means in a hurry

The Value of Vanity

There is no doubt at all that . little vanity does more to bring cut a girls best than all the modesty ir Che world. This does not mean that VI should let ourselves grow puffed nnt silly with conceit. After all oyer- weening conceit is certainly a sign of inferior intelligence, for no one eith common sense would ever allow ber-' self to become foolishly vain. I
 There are always scores of others far more intelligent more beautiful more fascinating than we are if we search with impartial eyes. To be the most accomplished and wonderful woman in the world is quite impossible. except Tn ones own mind. for at least e hurured other contestants would claim the same title. So. no matter how pretty or af-I tractive a girl may be. she would ps silly to become inflated over neF charms. In fact, no one with claims to intelligence is ever overconceiteo-
 Without a spark of vanity she VIII lose her looks and her charrns. but tnst little spark of conceit will keep her up to the mark. will keep alive her inter- est in herself and others and will m}ke her far more attractive in every Way Vanity in the proper proportions will work wonders in the weaker sex. and every one of us should have a moderate share. The Greek motto. Nothing too much" will keep u. from being in- sufferable-
New Britain herald., 1915-11-04

A BIT of vanity is really inspiring.
 It teaches one to try to look ones best at all times. The girl who ap- proves even mildly of her own appear ance is careful not to allow herself to run down. but keeps herself up to a certain mark which she has set for herself. If she looks in the glass one morning and finds her skin looking sal- low or her hair looking lifeless she sets to work repairing it at once. The girl with a certain amount of conceit is careful to buy only the clothes which make her appear at her best. Conse- Quently, though she may not be a pret- ty girl at all. she always looks we'll
 The overmodest girl, on the contrary, never takes the pains to study her own good points. She makes no endeavor to enter the lists for beauty, but lets herself go. buying the clothes that are at hand, without ascertaining whether they bring out the best or the worst in her appearance.
 Even a girl who is impossibly plain in face and figure need not and should not be without spark of vanity. be- cause if she has enough conceit she will make herself attractive in other ways than in her appearance One sees many, many instances where a girl without a vestige of beauty has far greater popularity with men and worn en than her sister. who is lovely to look upon.

THAT MUCH DESIRED SLIMNESS

EXERCISE 1.-Lie on the back with
 the hands at the sides. arms stretched full length: outline sweeping circle, making it as large as you can possibly stretch your leg. Without resting the leg swing at least twenty circles and then stretch the right leg full length on the floor and repeat the exercise with the left leg. The next day increase the number of circles to twenty-five and add five each day un- til the hundred mark is reached. When you can swing a hundred circles with each leg, raise both legs at once and swing circles alternately. yet in per- petual movement-that is, one toe is at the highest point when the other is pointed at the lowest side of the circle. This is not an easy thing to do, and the mind must be concentrated on the ex- ercise in order to secure a steady movement which will give results This exercise is aimed to reduce the hips. and the difference will be plainly visible in a weeks time
 Exercise 2.-Lie face downward on the floor with the feet and knees to- gether and the hands side by side in

Pads and FdnCieS For Fall

Lynx is a fur with a future, but at present the white ones prevail.
 Once more the velvet hat and the felt ones appear in large and picturesque forms. Black and white, or dark blue or a rich claret shade, go well together The small hat with the stupendous buckle is a millinery feature to remem- Der, and the swan plumage cap in white and colors is another.
 Instead of copying the military uni form closely, little details are permissi- bly, chosen as foundations for novelty The khaki tunic pocket. for example makes an excellent design for bag in khaki suede. It is capacious and con- venient and good autumn substitute for silk
