FASHION TIPS.

There is waist line to suit every type
the Empire for the slight, youthful fig
ure, the natural waist line for the con-
servatives and straight ones for the
stout figure.
There is a strong peasant tendency
among the new serge dresses-a tendency
shown in blouses and sleeves of con-
trast.ng taffcta. and in embroidered
fronts.
Fashion slightly hints at the comm
OF the simple gown of Greek lines even
though there is a growing tendency to-
ward the fuller skirts
Lace, it is said, will play an inter
csting part on the picturesque big hats
for spring Cream lace is especially
good on black shiny straw.
Some straw hats will be covered with
lowered fabrics TO match the new gowns.
These hats should he faced with silk To
carry out the flower note.
1t looks as though there might be a
return to the quaint. simple gowns which
were worn when luxury was considered
bad taste.

fers fine linen batistc and nainsook for
her endorsements. rather than silks or
Cr"pes.
the large amount of jet shown in jewel
ry Other favorites are pearls, onyx
rock crystal and rhinestones.
Little hatpins are especially designed
for mourning millinery; they are short
and charming combination Of small
pearls and dull jet.
The small! fur necktie. worn with a
small toquc. is quite as correct and chic
as the superb stole of expensive skins.
Some OF the new skirts of the cotton
frocks have three flounces at the bottom
which fare out to resemble three fans.
The most fashionable neckwear-jabot,
bertha. fChu or summer soarf-is embel-
lshed with tiny roses old-time flowers.
IL is probable that many of the suits
Of the coming spring will have conserv-
alive skirts not more than two and a

A new coat has a separate back which
flies loose from the shoulder like a
straight cape

When the Price Scars.

One would not be far wrong to say
that necessity is the mother of good
cooks as well as of invention. And
now that the price of food in this coun-
try is gradually increasing we ought
not to be down hearted. but rather than
that we ought to be glad. American
cooks have for over 10Q years been
VIGOROUSLY bad. American cooking has
been extravagant. wasteful. and indi-
gestible. Until recently indigestion
was counted to be the national malady
of our country. And in no country in
the world have food stuffs been more
abundant or prices for food compare
lively so low.
But in the countries where cooking
has become a science and an art the
reverse conditions have prevailed. In
France where good cooking is general
among the poor as well as the well-to-
do there has never been an over abun-
dance. Vegetables have been compare
lively scarce. and meat has been dear.
yet simple dish OF cooked green peas
prepared by a French housewife is a
simple dish of cooking green peas pre-
pared by a French housewife is a dish
fit for a king. and no other cook in the
world can prepare beef to compare
with the French roasts. In Italy. too.
whers foods have been dear and for
the most part lacking in variety. one
finds an amazing wisdom in the cook
ing done by the common people. The
most scientific of American dietiticians
could not work out a more economical
and more nutritious diet than is that
Of the average Italian peasant
May it not then be that the soaring
prices-which by the way are not soar
ing so rapidly as we sometimes sup
pose-may be a blessing in disguise?

For Chapped, Blotchy,
Rough, or Coarse Skin

Most skins require constant grooming
at this season to keep them from be-
coming unduly red, blotchy, coarse, rough

veloped. to overcome 1t. In such cases II
is particularly inadvisable to keep pilinG
on cosmetics which clog the pores and

It's a lot more sensible to use ordinary
mercolized wax, which literally absorbs
a spoiled complexion. Apply the wax.
like cold cream, before retiring; next
morning. in washing it of, you'll wash
away fine. flour-like particles Of the un-
slightly cuticle. Repeat for a week or
skin-soft. white. spotless and beautiful
as a child's. One ounce Of mercolized
wax. procurable at any druggists, Is all
you'll need.
II the skin be wrinkled or habby. here's
the best possible remedy: Mix IL pint
witch hazel and I ounce powdered sax
olite and use as a face bath. II works
like miracle. yet is entirely harmless.

Lydia Ernestine Becker, who was
born February "a, 1927, Is remembered
as one OF the most able and energetic
sunragists that has ever been known
In England. Her grandfather was a
German and from him she inherited
much of her Teuton solidity of char
acter. She was the eldest Of fifteen
children of calico printer in Eng
land, and though she enjoyed very lit
tie social advantage as q young girl
she apparently had sunicient means
in spite of the large family Of which
she was a part.
Lydia Becker seems never to have
busted her head with thoughts of
marriage and wkilA other young girls
of her age were thinking Of dances
and other gaieties, she was devoting
her serious attention to botany and
astronomy. When she was thirty -eight
she started society of women for
thd study of literature and science in
Manchester. and through activity in
this organization she clearly showed
her interest in the cause of educa-
ton and progress for women. 1t was
not until the next year. 1866. that her
attention was first attracted to the
subject of woman's suffrage Then II
was that Nine. Bodichon, in an ad-
dress on the subject. converted her
to the cause" She threw herself en-
ergetically into the new movement
and four years later was the editor
and chief contributor Of the woman's
Suffrage Journal A pamphlet written
by her. Political Disa bilities of WON.
en-" was widely circulated.
All through her life Lydia Becker
Iabored for the cause Of woman's suf-
frage, and she was a very familiar
figure in parliamentary Hobbies, where
her capacity was recognised.

full Of dances now in vogue?" said
Miss Shreve. Probably the hesitation
for the average. dancer. The most
beautiful Of all Of them. however. was
the tango. but the trouble with the
tango was that 1t was too difficult for
the amateur and ono almost never saw
the real thing off the stage.
AT present the most popular Of all
dances is the fish walk You will
see ut dances when the music strikes
up for a fish walk every ono takes
a new interest. It il easy to dance
and most every one can do it."
DO you think that there 10 any
chance that the old-fashioned square
dances will RETURN" asked the repre-
sentative Of The woman's Herald.
MY personal opinion 10 that they
will, but I don't care to make the
prediction. for no one can be sure OF
that. But even though we do go
back to these old-fashioned dances
we will never go back to tho old
fashioned indifference on the subject
Children are now taught dancing a.
one Of the serious parts Of their
education. Whereas children used to
be taught dancing merely for grace
