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

| There used to be 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 it
was cue for woman to 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 duty.
To improve the shapeliness of ankles,
exercise and massage will do won
ders. II 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 feshy.
If your ankles are little stout you
can reduce them in 4 month, or two
months at the most, by means of
little exercise ten minutes morning
and night. Remove the shoes and
and cross the knees so that |

ankle. Thrust out the foot and move |
It around from the ankle in twisting |
notion, then bend it up and down,
making sure that all this is done with
he ankle bone. When one foot be
zones tired shift position and exer-

One Of Natures Mysteries.

Whence came the first globuIe OF
sap? And why? How has it pro-
duced all of the marvellous forms? OF
all the curiosities and mysteries OF
nature this Is one from which all
things are inherent and all things In
applicable. Let's not call it protozoa
or protophyta or by any other Of the
learned names but simply sap" which
mysteriously assemblies its compost
ton from the grossest ingredients OF
earth and blossoms forth at the be-
ginning OF the real advent Of the yesr
in multitudinous phenomena of beauty,
to the glory Of nature.

MAKES BEST USE
OF ROOF SPACE
Rooms in Attic the Particular De-
sire in This Architectural
Design.
INTENDED FOR LARGE FAMILY
Splendid Cellar Is One of Its CHIEF
Advantages-Porch Arrangement
Most PIeasing-EspeciaI Fea-
ture is Effect Given by
Window Lights.

The manner of building a wide ROOF
gives the opportunity of planning sew
erai rooms in the attic. The house
shown in this design makes good use
of the roof space that is ordinarily
given to the storage of old shoes.
This is good-sized house for a
large family. 1t was designed espe-
cially for town or village where the
lots are liberal in SIZE 1t has a good
looking, prosperous appearance, as
though the family feels proud to own
such house.
1t is built with good cellar for the
foundation, the wall of which is put
up just above grade line. From the
cellar wall the construction is of stud
ding in the ordinary way, except that
the joists of the main floor do not rest
on the sill. The cellar wall is four or
five feet in height, according to the
depth of cellar required, so that the
Joists are supported by a ribbon set
into the studding three or four feet
above the SILL From this studding
ribbon up to the peak the house is
built in the usual way.
1t Is desirable to have a depth of
timber work between the wall and the
main floor sufficient to set the cellar
windows above the wall. The design
of the front porch and the front porch
roof is little different from the ordi-
nary, but the effect is very pleasing. |

HEALTH And BEAUTY

If sweet oil be applied to the skin
after blow or bruise, it will not turn
black and blue.
Peroxide and ammonia will bleach
superfuous hair, but will not destroy
the growth.
Keeping the fngernails we'll mani
cured is sure cure for the habit of
biting them.
When baby bumps its head, rub salt
butter on the spot. 1t will stop swell
ing and keep the place from turning
black and blue.
If you are troubled by round shoul-
ders hold up your chin and carry your
head high and your shoulders can't
bend and curve
Perspiring hands indicate sluggish
and nervousness. Fresh
air is the best cure. Battle the palms
of the hands with alcohol.

BEFORE SPRING COMES
GOOD IDEA FOR SELECTING BE-
TWEEN-SEASON COSTUMES.
With Allowance Made for Possibility
Of Changing Styles, the Main Pur-
pose Must Be to Select Up-to-
Date Designs.

AS it is always bit difficult to ar
| range for between-season frocks and
suits, the best plan to follow is to Sc
lect designs as up-to-date as possible,
80 that there will be no danger of
them going out of style too soon,
writes Lillian E. Young in the Wash
ington Star Then, if there should
happen to be fur trimmings, be sure
that they are so arranged that they
may be removed when spring comes.
The shops are showing many modish
fur-trimmed garments, which later in
the season may graduate from winter
service to spring; in fact, many Of
the very new light-cloth suits show re-
movable fur collars and cuffs of band
ings. =
The illustrated model is particularly
commendable for between-season serv-

is IN the rear and at the side of the
pantry, which is more convenient in
this house than the usual way of go
ing down to the cellar under the front
stairs. This plan also gives a good
cloak closet in the front hail. con-
venience that is always appreciated.
Upstairs there are three good bed
rooms and any amount of closet room,
because the different clothes closets
are worked in under the slope of the
roof. There is also a fine bathroom
built into dormer on the rear slope
of the roof, which is similar in appear
ance to the dormer in front, except
that it is somewhat smaller Each
of the four bedrooms has a fine out
look, the upper ones being lighted by
wide multiple windows, which provide
ample light even on dark days.
4 large linen closet in the upper
hall is the very thing that all house
keepers want. Few houses have con-
venient storage for extra bedding, that
always is in the way in the summer
unless some provision of this kind is
made to take care of it. A house built
for a large family should have plenty
of storage, because each member of
the family has certain articles that re-
quire special accommodation at certain
times during the year The housewife
always finds something to store away
and often is puzzled to find a suitable
place for such things.
The general style of this house is a.
modification of the old plan of util-
izing gables, but the new style Of
dormer varies the gable monotony. In
fact, gables generally look well when
they are necessary to finish the end
of roof, but they seldom look well
when built especially to light a bed
room. Always there must be a rea-
sonable excuse for any outside house
extension, otherwise there is some
thing wrong with the architectural
effect.
The building of chimney exposed
like this chimney almost always inn
proves the appearance of the gable
end of house. The exposed part of
the chimney, however, should be
treated in conformity with the general
style of the house. The finish of the
should be in keeping with
The other outside decorations. Red
brick with lines OF white mortar usual
" matches up nicely with dark-col-
bred house with. white trimmings. Also
brick are In keeping
With single siding.
The manner Of placing shingles also
las an influence on the general char
lcter OF the exterior decoration. The
outside appearance of house is

upstairs and down, not in all sash
alike, but the same general idea pre-
walls.
Also the plan of building multiple
windows is relief to the large gables.
Such windows are large enough to ad-
NIT light in abundance to the upper
rooms. The modern idea of building
windows which are light enough to
light the house are sensible and should
reNain in fashion long time.
Tue plan of the house provides for
hall with an open stair, which may
be made ornamental by selecting we'll
designed woodwork in keeping with
the trim of the front part Of the house.

FASHIONS FANCY FOR SILK
Material is Employed to Greater Ex-
tent Than 1t Has Been for
Many Seasons.

While ones attention is conferred
upon cotton, one must not lose sight of
silks. They occupy a very prominent
place in the wardrobe of the up-to-
date woman. All dresses intended for
afternoon functions are made of silk.
Delicate voiles or ottomans, soft taf-
fetas, silk velvets and wool velour are
all used in developing these dressy
frocks. Distinctive effects may be OBJ
tanned by combining these materials
with gold-embroidered chiffon, jet,
pearls, or adding to them bands of fur,
such as skunk, sable, ermine and the
popular ape skin.
The evening dresses of this season
are not so rich and daring as those of
last winter, but In many ways they are
more pleasing. The textures are ex-
quisite, reminiscent OF the lovely fab
RIGS of the days OF the Italian renais-
sance. There are soft gold and silver
brocades, delicate taffetas, thin lace
drawn through with metal threads and
crystal and Jet embroidered chiffons
and tulles.
To go back to the less costly mate
rails. such as silk and fine cottons, In
which the majority OF women are in
terested in these hard times, dance
rock of bordered organdie, taffeta silk,
striped wolfe or cotton crepe is now
considered the correct thing Indian

The skirt is in two parts. The I'M

PORTION extending from hip to hip, its
length broken by a false yoke seam
running several inches below the belt
The back of this underskirt can be of
satin or taffeta, for it is completely
covered by the tunic. The tunic Is
full length across the entire back, but
from the sides slaRts upward toward
the center. 1t is slashed through the
center and turned back over either
hip, with just that turned-back portion
bordered with fur at the bottom.
Later on in the season, WREN the
warmer weather makes one tire of fur
trimmings, the fur may be removed
and an attractive change made by add
ing sand-colored faille collar and cuffs,
which color combines beautifully with
the olive green.

dormer gives the appearance of ex-
tending the dormer plan out over the
front veranda. 1t follows out the idea
of relieving what would otherwise be
an extra wide roof. The front part of
the veranda roof is supported by tim
bered porch columns, which are diff
ferent from any other house on the
street, but they match up all right
with the dormer and all roof projec-
tions.
Small lights of glass are used in the
upper windows and in the upper parts
of the large windows which light the
first floor This arrangement gives
the same small light glass effect both

10 good deal of millwork in this end
OF the room, which seems to reach out
and extend the general design both to
the parlor and dining room. These
two rooms are connected by an extra
wide archway, SO that the two rooms
may be used together when occasion
requires.
The china cupboard in the dining
room is a special feature, sometimes
designated as a space saver" The.
idea is to build an extension jutting
out from the dining room big enough
to contain sideboard with china
closets above. The window is set well

up. so that the top of the sideboard
comes up to the bottom of the win
dow. The two china closets at the
sides extend up even with the top of
the window, so that the window is
framed and forms part of the built-in
cabinet work, the trim of which all
matches with the other woodwork both
IN the dining room, parlor and front
hall.
Inc men folks are considered as
having some rights in this house, by
planning the library at the back end
of the hall. This library makes a very
cozy sitting room likely to be used a
good deal, especially by men who car
ry their business accounts home with
them to go over in the evening.

QUIZ FOREIGN BORN.

The number of people of European
birth and parentage who live in the
United States is strikingly brought
home in statement prepared by the
national geographic society, which is
keeping its membership of nearly $780,
900 informed concerning the geograph-
ical phases Of the war in Europe. The
statement is as follows:
Zone person out of every seven in
the United States was born outside of
our borders. We have today 13,500,000
people of foreign birth with us, and
nearly all of them are from Europe.
They constitute population approx
imately equal TO the combined popu-
lations of Belgium and Holland. or Of
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Swift
zerland.
I'VE have in this country one-sixth
as many Canadians as there are in
Canada. half million more Germans
than there are in Berlin, enough Irish
to populate sour cities like Dublin.
enough Italians to people three Romes.
We have almost as many Russians as
there are in Petrograd, and twice as
many Austro-Hungaxians as there are
in Budapest.
In addition to our foreign born
population we have nearly 100000
children of immigrants in the United
States. Counting these, we have as
there are in Bavaria and Alsace-Lor-
raine together more Russians than
there are in the province of Bessar-
abba; more Irish than there are in
ireland; and more than half as many
Italians as there are in Sicily. We
could populate a city like Chicago
with our English-born and their chill
dren, duplicate the city of Vienna
with our Austrian-born and their chill
dren, and more than duplicate all the
cities of Sweden having population
