Dear NJ Liss-I am young woman % years
old and for the last year | have been suffer-
ing on and on with pains in my left shoulder
Nothing that take seems to do It any good
What would you recommend? WORRIED.
I would recommend that you consult a
physician. In the first place, no layman is
qualified to prescribe remedies for physical
ailments that may be very serious and. in
the second place. consultation with reputable
physician is more economical in the long run.
Nothing is more expensive than stocking up
with the nostrums which ones family, one
relatives, one neighbors and ones nelghbors
neighbors take II upon themselves to recon-
mend.
Dear rLlss--In regard to the budget that
you mapped out the other day for a girl who
Is earning SIS week. take exception with
you that SO Is sufficient saving. l think a
woman should have amount equal to that
which she spends for dressing.
You allowed your correspondent 50. 70 for
dress. believe s2.79 for saving would have
been better advice, agree with you. how
ever. that the bulk of the SIS must go for
food. In no other respect have ! fault 70 find
with your calculations ECONOMIST.

remarks on the budget You have made

New Beverage

Summer Is the time when the cooling
drink is the most delightful nectar or
the most miserable mess on the face of the
earth. A very new confection to serve in
the evening or to place in small iced tea
sets on the front porch is made of whip
ped cream and macaroons. Whip the
cream very stiff, then stir 1t full of crushed
macaroon crumbs. A bit of sherry, mint
violet rose, or any desired favoring may
be added. A maraschino cherry may be
added to the top, or a half of an English
walnut.

quires no antlseptic applications Indeed.
antiseptics promiscuously employed may
ultimately do more harm than good, by in
juring the mucous lining of the mouth and
thus opening portals of infection.
Plain soap and water on the toothbrush
seems as efficacious and as agreeable as
anything for cleansing the teeth, but If
the taste of soap is obnoxious there are
good tooth-pastes and powders which are
feebly or not at all antiseptic

ly in children.
Parents can do no greater service to a
sckly or unhealthy child than to have
any cavities in the teeth properly treated

Bathing Toggerv

Do you know that short, lightweight
coat to slip on over the bathing costume
Is an absolute essential to the summer
girls wardrobe? OF course, the coat
doesn't require much cloth. for it only
reaches to the bottom of the bathing suit
And IL she wears knickers underneath the
short skirt, the skirt may be very short
indeed. These knickers. by the way. are
fitted closely In at the knees, and are
quite tull' like boomers, Pearl buttons
in tiny rows are seen at the closing
But the coats are made of Palm Beach
or some other lightweight cloth. Some
are rainproOfed. A big storm collar
large pockets and belt form the only trim
ming, but wealth of practical articles
may be slowed away in a cloak like this.

Now thicken with flower. Place the whole

baRing'powder biscuits and lay them over

The Kiss

The maid I love neer thought of me
Amid the scenes of gaiety;
But when her heart or mine sank low.

From the slant palm she rais'd her head

Angels some future day for this,
Give her as sweet and pure a kiss.

gelatine and pour 1t over the fruit.
When this has "set," turn out the con-

leaves. Garnish with sweet mayonnaise
and green maraschino cherries. English
walnuts may be used with the fruit
and cream instead of the mayonnaise II
the dish is used for dessert.
