This is all wrong, he tells us. The

every woman engaged to teach that 1t

that her return to the service will be
approved when she is As years of age,

That they put the pay envelope ahead

make against feminism, in my opinion,
leading exponent of the feminstic creed,
has called this "the age of the child" and
has written many books that point out
the necessity of making all sacrifice for

Some wonder-women, however, whom

time, If there is such creation-remember
that natures colors are made that way so
that man will never tire of them, and you
would do well to emulate nature in her
choice of colorngs For instance, the most
economical standard colors are plain blue,
tan, gray and green. These are the colors
of the ocean and the sky and the grass, and
the earth itself. And there are no other col.
ors that hold their own in sun, wind and
storm as these.
Browns. reds, lavenders, pinks, purples
and the like stand wear too, but they are
more likely to fade quicker than those CIV

quickly, and If they have been purchased in
an expensive material they are n loss to Il
certain extent, for making over is risky
business at the best If these colors are
dyed they shrink and their lustre disap-
pears.
Large checks, plaids, awning stripes and
dotted materials are all right for the girl
who has plenty of clothes, but they are
not for the business girl. They are ex-
pensive, and, like anything that Is the rage,

Furthermore, there is a waste of material

In direct opposition to the feminist

declares that no employment should be
open to women unless It is proved to be
absolutely noninjurious to her and the
future race.
Instead of being the boon to woman

Shopping Hints

It is not good idea to plan too much
shopping for one trip. BY the end Of the
trip the shopper is so tired out and so
cross that she buys something that she
takes an immediate dislike to when she
gets it home-because she knows that it
does not look like the article she would buy
If she was deliberate and painstaking about
1t. The best way to do shopping is to do
so much in the morning, then go to some
quiet place for luncheon, or go home. Then
take the afternoon. or another morning for
the rest of the shopping. 1t pays to be
careful about such matters, for many things
bought in a hurry like this are not return
able, and even II they are the returning
job is trial. Do your shopping early
especially in the warm weather.

Potato Feelings Are Useful

Did you ever think there is a use for
potato peelings? There Is, and the reason
that It isn't known is that most American
housewives are too wasteful to bother to
save peelings. The fresh peellngs, boiled
make excellent chicken food. The dried
peelings may be burned in the stove. They
are a good starter for the fire If charcoal or
wood is not at hand, and they help con-
sderably in cutting the SCOT in the pipe and
ohlmneys.
