TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.

Everything child eats should be
given for some particular purpose. For
those mothers who lack the necessary
knowledge of food values the follow
ing simple classification is given:
Proteins-These foods supply mate
rial for building tissue, muscle, brain,
bone and gland. They include meat,
fish, eggs, milk, cereals.
Carbohydrates and fats-These foods
supply material for maintaining heat
and energy. They include starchy
foods, as potatoes, rice; tapioca, maca-
roni, corn starch, arrowroot, bananas,
bread: sugar foods. as sugar, sirup,
candy. honey, jam, jelly. dates and figs;
fats. as butter, cream, olive oil; milk,
cereals.
Mineral matter-This supplies mate
rial for teeth and bone and keeps the
body clean and the blood pure This
necessary mineral matter is found in
fruits. as apples, oranges, grapes, ber
ries, pears, etc; in green vegetables
as carrots. spinach, onions. turnips,
lettuce. celery, tomatoes: milk. cereals.
Water-This keeps the blood pure
and the body clean. 1t also aids in
regulating the temperature of the
body and in carrying nutriment to the
cells. 1t is supplied by pure water as
a beverage. Also in large proportion

THE BEAUTIFUL ARM.

The shape and plunpness Of the
arm can be improved by patient ana
diligent use of the following exer-
cises:
No. stand properly with hands
clinched in fists and tucked into the
armpits. Now execute circles with
the points of the elbows. always ro-
tating backward, never forward. and
breathing deeply. At first the circles
formed by the tips of the elbows will
be small, but the student should
stand before the glass and see that
the circle is increased with each
days practice. Keep fists in the
armpits. This increases the fullness Of
the upper arm.
No. Raise arms to the level of the
shoulders, stretched outward, with the
the elbow until the hands touch the
shoulders. Grip the shoulder tight, in
haling while counting seven. Now
hold the breath while counting four
and draw down hard on the point Of
the shoulder with all the strength you
can put into the arms and hands. The
elbow pointing downward. Exhaling
and still gripping and pulling. count
four more. Then loosen the grip
slightly on the shoulder, count seven
as DeIOTe anu repeat the puhlHB InOSt-
ment on the shoulder as given above.
Repeat this exercise at least ten times
without taking the hands from the
shoulders. and gradually increase un-
til you can reach a record of twenty
times. Bear in mind that the drawing
down, just below the waist line. Turn
the breath four counts and. eXhalfng
four counts. While inhaling grip the
shoulders with the hands more tightly.
This gives plumpness to the forearms
No. 3-Swing the hands together
lightly behind the back. then stiffen
the arms so that the palms of the
hands are together, with finger tips
down, just below the waistline. Turn
the hands inward until the finger tips
point UP, with the palms together and
the elbows at right angles with the
body. Now run the finger tips slowly
up the spinal column, palms together,
until the finger tips touch the nape Of
the neck. Reverse the entire move
ment and rest before repeating the eX-
ercise. Good for both thin arms and
fat chests.

WOOL EMBROIDERY.

Wool embroidery is much used on
our frocks this winter And 1t is one
of the best of the smaller details OF
winter clothes. For it gives richness
of color and possibilities for design
that we have not seen for long time.
We talk of the influence of the styles
of 1870 and 1880 on our clothes today.
Wool embroidery was lavishly USED IN
those days. 1t was used, too. as some
of the frocks of the day. II You are
fortunate enough to be able to see
them, will testify. The frock was
planned. of course, before the embroi-
dering was done. Then it was done
lavishly-not a little fringe OF EN-,
of it. with trimming touches every
where.
One lovely frock of the period is made
of dark green velvet. In the volumi-
left side of yellow satin. fairly covered
with embroidery in wool of purple,
mauvs. various shades of maroon and
wine red. and golden yellow. There
bodice. covered with the embroidery,
and touches of it on the sleeves, and
the little position extension OF the
bodice at the back was faced with the
yellow satin, embroidered.
Wool embroidery can be made so dis
tinctively an addition to the color of
frock if it be well done that 1t ought
always to be carefully worked out, so
far as color is concerned. A little
thought or at most, experimentation,
will show that colors are well COM
bined.
Purple or mustard wool embroidery
look well on very dark navy blue
Copper or bright green are good on
black. Green, too. is good on brown.
Some of the velvet mufilers that peo-
pie are wearing this winter show a
border design at the ends of wool em-
broidery, and this is matched in the
caps that go with them.
Wool embroidery is effective on hats,
too. The design should be rather
striking, and should be simply worked
in few colors-two or three shades or
colors are quite enough to give the
best effect.
The woman with good clothes sense
can often give just the lacking touch
of smartness to a new frock of serge
if she adds little touch of color with
woolen thread. OF course, she must
know just the effect she desires to give
and Just how to go.about to produce 1t.
but If she knows these things she will
have little difficulty.

SMART eIRDLEs.

A girlie that has a suggestion of a
mans vest is made of English hand
blocked linen, in rich. soft colors and
needed for the depth Of the girdle. but
the extra width allows enough for two
girdles for small waist, or what is
left over can be used for collar. cuffs
or vest front on suit. These hand
printed linens are used to trim cotton,
cloth or velvet or silk quite indis-
criminately. The girdle may be trimmed
with narrow plated white net and little
black buttons. II you want 1t more
severely plain, to wear with tailored
suit. for example. one may omit the
1till altogether and finish the edge
with a row or two of machine etltch-
ing or chain stitching worked by hand.
The chain stitch with black twist may
be used to simulate buttonhole outlines.
The actual closing is with ball and
socket fasteners.
To make a rose girdle for a medium
size waist two yards Of 1noire ribbon
six and a half inches wide are re-
quired. Cut of the length necessary
for the waist. Fold it together and
make a slit three inches deep in the
fold, which will be the center of the
front. Finish the edges of this open
Ing with q tiny hem. and edge with a
|
when worn this slit separates and
makes little pointed vest effect. To
make a rose which is to be placed at
the center back cut the remainder. OF
the ribbon into twelve equal parts.
Fold each part together through the
ner twice in tight ron and fasten Sc
curely with a few stitches. Try to
make these stitches so that they will
not show. Now take q single fold in
- ~ f11< -
folded edge. and secure it with a few
concealed stitches. Plait the raw edges
into two small, single box plaits
and sew securely. When the twelve
pieces have all been made into these
rose leaves put them together. one
piece tightly rolled for q center, as
nearly like a rose as you can make it
look.
A butterfly girdle is made of light
weight white taffeta ribbon, with a
butterfly Of black maline back and
front The bodies Of the butterflies are
made Of orange velvet ribbon. Get
one fourth of a yard of one and one
half-inch-wide ribbon in this vivid
color. A yard Of black maline will
make the two pairs of wings. Cut it In
half and plait each piece up in the mid
die. Roll a strip of cotton waddine
about two inches wide into tight
compact little roll and cover it with
| the orange velvet, then cross the body
| with threads of black silk to make as
nearly as possible the popular conception
of a butterfly body. Tack one of the
bodies upright between each pair oi
| wings.
| A peplum girdle is made Of black
moire ribbon and accordion plated
black chiffon. There is wide, fla,
! bow of the moire ribbon in the back
and to the lower edge of this ribbon
Rirdle is sewed three-fourths of yard
Of the plated chiffon to form the pep
lum.

To feed a child properly. that is. to
keep IT in normal, healthy condition,
each class of food should be represent

be given as the right proportion.

NNE will find it great help on IRON
W ing day to have goodly supply of
clothes hangers at hand. As soon as a
garment is ironed. slip it over hang

putting the clothes away all that is
necessary is to place the hangers in the
closet. In this way many pieces do
not have to be handled twice, and
wrinkled clothes are avoided.

The Moyen Age in House Robes.

Although the other clothes we wear
are full Of drapery. broken lines and
frivolous trimming, the smart house
gowns are not. The former suggest the
women of Fragonard: the latter the
women of da yinci.
The shops here are ma king a feature
OF the most pronounced house robes
with straight lines. They are not OF
heavy velvet like the Venetian ones
but they are of thin satin. chiffon and
tulle. Their allure comes from the re-
markable colors used, and the grace OF
the straight, clinging lines from shoul-
der to heels.
Naturally different tones of red are
used. because this color is prominent
throughout all apparel this season.
There are also queer tones of blue. such
as one infreQuently sees in the new
dance frocks. As rule, no other color
is introduced. Whatever fabrics are
us"d in the gowns are perfectly
matched.
They are SO supple in texture that
they look though they could be run
through a bracelet. and their creators

advantage. they say they can be more
easily packed and that they have all
the comfort of d thin neslige in the

So far, all these wonderful ideas in
tea gowns have been taken up only by
women who exploit the new and the
wonderful in clothes, but popularity is
promised them by the fact that one OF
the shops on 5th avenue has got them
out at reasonable prices. in fascinating
textures. They are presented as an i'm
portant novelty. and this is the hour
and the season when women are search
ing for novelties.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
NEW YORK. January 22.-It is not
difficult to see the connection between
artistic and fanciful clothes for the
house and an era of prosperity. The
designers of women's apparel put them
together, and the women follow suit.
As early as October there were many
manifestations of the incoming fashion
o: pictorial tea gowns, allied to odd
caps and a vast variety of slippers. Two
OF three of the smartly dressed women
who have enough money to indulge
their fancies found that certain stu
dio in Venice offered them i chance to
dress otherwise or be different from
their neighbors.
These house gowns had nothing to do
with fashion, present or past. They
were evolved from the brain OF an ar
list who believed that women should
wear picturesque clothes indoors, that
harmonize with their surroundings.
Some of his things looked like pill
able coat OF mail: others resembled
old. fifteenth century portraits; others
were faithfully copied from the gowns
worn by Beatrice d'Este. Rare old vel
and these were trimmed with pieces. OF
bullion lace that might have been
nlched from the Palace of the Doges.
Naturally. such tea gowns were not
within the limits of every ones purse.
They reached the high-water mark of
individual dressing. and they were sug-
gestive OF other kinds of house robes
to those creators OF clothes who snatch
at everything new as Q means of intro
ducing another temptation to women.
