An Attractive Tailored Suit


WfLL wonders never ceasoT Dad went
w homo alone leaving mother and mo to
visit with the Merediths. This Is an un.
hoard-of event In the annals Of our family
and Is due to the bcwltchIng power of Fred
die''-otherwise Wnifred-who conxed Dad
to say yes" before he knew It.
Freddie plays the same part in her home
town that l try to play in mine. Just now
she's nearly frantic trying to rehearse a
play which Ia really n fashion pageant. II
has three acts-"morning." Afternoon" and
evening" Some of the girls balIed at
being cast for the first act, because they
didn't fancy wearing tailored, sports or one
piece costumes.
Two of them dropped out at tho last
minute 30 Freddie and had to rush to the
rescue.
Since every costume that appears in the
play is to no auctloned off and the proceeds
donated to charity. nothing but the very
Hmartest clothes can be worn,
Freddie's part calls for n dressy tailored
suit and mine for n one-pIcce dress. My
midnight-buo serge and satin seems TO "nl
the bill" and has never been worn, so
chose It.
Then we went to Freddic's tailor and
begged him. for sweet charity's sake, to
make up something smart in rccord-break-
ing time.
He promised to put everything else aside
and make suit with n contrasting coat
ana skirt. II came home today, and Is n
perfect marvel of tailored style
The skirt Is of blue-and-green plaid We
lours The material is Of that soft plIable
quality that hangs in soft folds yet has
enough body to tailor we'll The plaid de-
sign ia quite pronounced.
When Freddie slipped the skirt on I went
into rantures over tho way It nts about the
hips and hangs in deep folds at tho hem. or
course, it is cut circular-pIad skirts are
always prettlcst when there are no seams
to break the lines Of the desgn-and is
extremely wide. II must have taken
friEhttul lot Of material to make 1t. The
top Is finished with wide. crush belt. fas-
tened Mt the side with three buttons covered
with the cloth,
The coat. however, makes the suit II
Is of dark-blue velvet to match the blue of
the skirt, and is that lovely tone between
sapphire and midnight blue. Without being
fitted 1t has lines that follow Freddie's
figure just enough to be unusually becom-
ing.
In front there is just a little fullness
above the waistlne which Is drawn into
slashcs made in the full skirt portion.
| particularly like the dropped shoulder
effect and the full sleeves The latter are
gathered into wide cuffs of moleskin and
the same petry Ia used for the broad collar
Nelvct-covered buttons serve the double
purpose of fastening and trimming the coat
and buttonhoIes are bound instead of but
tonhOle-stitched.
Mrs. Meredith told Freddie that all the
suit needed to make 1t absolutely fauItless
was one of the cunning little muffs of mole
skin, A hint was sufficient; Freddie went
stralghtaway and bought one.

How to Prepare a Grapefruit

GOETHE tells us that werther fell In love
" with Charlotte as he watched her cut
ting bread for her younger sisters and
brothers. She was a picture of womanly
grace and tenderness and II had its effect
on the observing young man.
1t Is quite possible to display beautiful
tapering fingers In the dainty sllcing of
bread and other foods. But only the
skilled homemaker can dare TO attack the
grapefruit and publicly slice It before the
family or guests. But there Is a way, and,
like other things, it depends largely on the
mechanical assistants you use when you are
ready 10 prepare the grapefruit for the
table
In the first place, you can't proceed to
battle with the grapefruit with just any
knife at all, You need two sharp knives
One Is small, sharp-bladed knife with
which you can halve the fruits the other
Is an equally sharp eurved-blade knife.
Here is an efficient line OF action:
First. Cut the fruit in half with the
straight blade.
for the curved-bade knife. and cut out Of
the grapefruit the center core and the
Seeds
Third, Cut the pulp from the back Of the
skin with the round blade.
Fourth Cut the pulp from each little
rind wall with the straight knife
with these two knives, and following a
definite plan Of action. any one can prepare
grapefruit perfectly
1t may seem though IL were rather a
complicated process TO have to use two
knives for the preparation of one kind OF
fruit, but It Is the greatest economy in the
long run. In the first place, the grapefruit
must be cut absolutely right or II Ia spoiled
for table use No one likes TO see a grape
fruit that is "raggy" or almost juicelsss
because Of improper cutting, It's an ex-
travaganee to buy a fine grapefruit and
then to serve II badly so that the appetizing
quality for which you've paid a good price
Is removed.
Also 1t Is better TO have your two knives
for this purpose than TO impress the other
kitchen knives into grapefruit service. The !
better your equipment OF knives IN the be-
ginning, the longer win the whole outfit
last. The housewife who economies by
making shift with one or two knives for |
everything IN ths kitchen has TO replace this |
limited supply SO often that most OF the /
lime she Is minus satisfactory tool. |
knives wear out quickly 4 they are used /
100 often ana too reekiessly for al sorts q /

they brought their ship TO port in other
words, mako their dream come true.
But you cnnnot bring your ship Of beauty
to port by dreaming" You will have 10
devote n great deal Of time and energy to
accomplish your desire There ia one good
fairy who will use everything within her
mower to help you anchor your ship at the
home port. Her name Ia Nature.
Tho first step toward making your dream
of beauty come true Is to find out Just
where you miss being beautiful. Anayze
yourself, but do not he too critical remcm-
her that beauty, aftor all, has n sliding
scale. "Beauty is In the cyo Of the be-
holder" A woman whom one person might
consider lovely will not appeal to another.
Genuine beauty ia simply n matter Of in
dtviduality--a case Of making yourself as
attractive as possible
When you tear yourself apart You will
find that you have been ncglecting to care
for the beauty with which nature originally
endowed you, Your hair no longer hangs in
two thick hraids that you can sit on" rs
was tho case when you were a schoolgirl
beCausa you have failed to give It the
proper care. You have starved tho roots
allowed the scalp to become dry and scaly
forgotten tho daily brushing and massage
and the semjmOnthly shampoo Mend your
waNs' whore your hair Is concerned If you
want to bring your dream ship nearer port
Then there is your complexion, which you
expected to retain the color and velvety
SmOOthncss OF youth without exerting the
SllEhtcst eifnrt to preserve Its beauty. You
hurriedly hathed tho Hkin with strong soap
and hard" wutoi- Then you carolessly
dried il and went out Of doors. The wind
nuiaaed the drying process, but It also
robbed your skin Of the oils that the good
fairy nature provides for softening and
nourlshinE the skin.
Help your beauty dream to come true
by being careful to bathe your face prop
erly, using a soap made of pure vegetable
oils and soft" water. Then lubricate the
skin by applying cold cream or softenlng
lotion.
The other features Of your face--cyea.
lips, teeth eyebrows and lashos-all re-
quire attention to keep them in n perfect
condition in order that your ship can come
sailing into port.
Then look at your figure Have you al
lowed 1t to lose its graceful curves through
lack of exercise or improper diet? DO not
throw up your hands in despair when YOU
see how FAR It falls short Of the beauty
standard Any woman with determination
can reduce or Increase her weight Begin |
before you are day older, to unke your
dream of n perfectly proportioned figure
come true.
Then bear in mind that beauty Is some |
thing deeper than Surface charms" 1t is |
deeper than the effective an |
pication of beauty preparations. II is |
largely due to the permanent attitude Of |
mind and heart Your inner self must he |
right to make your dream of physical |
beauty charming reality.

A THANKSGIVING

! last Thanksgiving spent far from the
IL States In the town Of sandakan ir
Borneo. Our little party only stayed there
two days, but as the American consu
had been our fellow.traveler from the
| Philippines, he asked us to his house To
a good American Thanksgiving dinner.
Next to me sat an Ensllshman, n man
Of culture and knowledge Of the world
| and during the course of our conversa-
| tion, he said something very nice about
| America. That in itself is worthy to be
chronicled as every American who has
lived much abroad will readily consent

that makes our blood boil Gautier, Paul

is It. Mister, bite" Gor was resolved
to shock this fluently spoken gentleman
with some Americanlsms.
TT is your Thanksgiving Day." he said
solemnly after having INDUCED in n smile
at my frivolity. "a people that sets aside
one day every year to thank the Lord
for His blessings is essentially a spiritual
people, and must have other thoughts be-
sides making two dollars grow where one
grew before"
You are right" said; "the best Judges
know us for what wo are, an idcaistic

That very morning had thought so to
myself as we were taking n walk through
the town and seeing the numerous opium
dives wide open and thronged, Tho Gov
ernment holds the monopoly on opium
and sells it freely to tho ignorant natives
who sink lower and lower while their en-
ploiters wax rich. Coming from tho
Philippines, where the American Govern.
ment spends much effort and money to
prevent the Filipinos from obtaining
opium stealthlly, one cannot help making
and coming to conclusions. |
However, I did not voice my thoughts, |
as you may imagine, I was in British
Borneo, In the American consul's house. |
and we were having dinner, three very
good reasons.
Then our host suggested that the old
saying ought to be amplihed with "By
their holy days ye shall know them"

proved Of Thanksgiving, from the time
he was hoy.

start that there are only three short
weeks ahead Of us.
Reams and reams have been written on
The subject OF the worn.out shop girl, all
OF which is undoubtedly true; so, it be-
hooves us TO be at least patient in the
pursuit OF the last-mnute gift, courteous
and conslderate of those who wait on us
TO the best of their ability.
Being too busy, to shop certainly Mt

money.
But all signs fail at Christmas. One
must buy presents, and the sooner and
more quickly shopping is dispatched the
better.
SO, now that the Thanksgiving game
and dinner are over start out tomorrow
