ABOUT MODERATE SHOE HEEL
Louis Quinze Type Regarded as one
of the Conspicuous Frivoiities
of Feminine Dress.

One of the conspicuous frivolities
of feminine dress Is the extreme Louis
Quinze heel. These tall, curved heels
are worn on slippers and on formal
footwear of a dainty, dressup char
acter; but street shoes have almost
invariably sturdy, sensible heels in
the military or so-called college style.
The college heel is very low and
flat-like the mannish heel-and
when the rest of the shoe is smart the
fiat heel is very smart but a fiat heel
on a poorly shaped shoe makes the
foot clumsy. Most women prefer the
military heel, which is something
like the old style Cuban heel except
that it is not quite as heavy, in out
line or in actual weight.
The proper shoe for street wear
with tailored costumes, notes a fashion
correspondent, is Of mahogany tan or
black Russia calf with the new low
heel and q long toe, attractively
stitched and perforated-though wing
tips and extra strappings of leather
are omitted to conserve material.
Formal footwear is slightly more
dainty In type, with thinner sole ano
higher heel, and such boots have
usually a top of buckskin or cloth in
pale gray or fawn color.

best. She can wear a big hat very be-
comingly, and if her face is a little TOO
broad and fat such a hat will make IL
look more slender. 1t is a mistake also
for a fat to wear a hat so
small that it makes her face look like.
n full moon, when if she had chosen
a little bigger shape her fat cheeks
would not have been brought so mucif
into prominence.
When you buy your next hat don't
stare straight at yourself in the mir
ror. Take a hand mirror and looK
carefully at yourself from all SIDES
and be sure to get a profile view-a
dozen people regard your hat from the
side where one looks at it from me
front. Some hats that look well on the
head when one is sitting down are not
nearly so becoming when n stand
up, so it is well to stand before a full
length mirror to get the real effect OF
a hat.

HOW TO WORK WITH VELVET
Material With Pile Should BE mace
With the Smooth Way OF Nap
Running Up.

With the great vogue for veivets
and velveteens still raging there are
sure to be women who are not famii-
lar with the sewing-room knowledge
of these materials. For instance a
good dressmaker knows that all goods
with a pile should be made with the
smooth way of the nap running up so
that when the made-up velvet hangs
from the figure. the pile VIII fan out
and give a richer effect. For this rea-
son ii is always necessary when buy
ing velvet or velveteen TO buy more
than for a plain material, as the pat
tern can be laid on it only one way.
Velvet seams are never pressed but
always steamed. This is best done by
turning a hot iron on its side covering
II with several thicknesses of damp
cloth and pulling the ~fiattened-out
seam gently over the steaIning cioth-
Facings are more apt to give a Def
ter appearance to velvet edges thai

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

A little care in washing is all that
is necessary to preserve the bright
ness of scarlet, pink and blue fan
for a long time. All these colors
require a nice warm lather; dry soap
must never be used on them, and a
teaspoonful of salt should be added
both to the suds and the rinsing wa
ter for scarlet and pink, and the same
quantity of ammonia for blue. They
should then be well shaken and hung
out at once to dry. Articles of a deli
cate blue that must be washed are
often ruined by careless washing.
Shoes that have become stiff anc
uncomfortable by being worn In the
rain, or that have been lying unused
for some time, can be made soft anf
pliable by vaseline well rubbed IL
with a cloth and rubbed off with
dry one.
When cooking turnips, drop a small
lump of sugar among them. Ii in
proves them wonderfully.
Do not GLOW the tea to brew TO
more than five minutes.

SELECTING A HAT
Profile View More important, Ad-
vises Fashion Critic.
Use of Hand Mirror Will Aid When
Buying Headgear-More Get Side
Than Front Glance.

Why do some women wear unbe-
coming hats, when for exactly the
same price they can get one that will
bring out all the good points of the
lace and throw the defects into shad-
DIV so that they will be scarcely mo-
ticeable? There are several reasons
for this, states an authority, and the
first is that many people do not seem
to know just how they look in any
thing and are perfectly happy as long
as the style is up to date; and another,
and by far the most common, is that
they are bewildered by a multiplicity
of models. After they have tried on
dozens of the wrong kinds of hats they
are so tired and discouraged that they
decide on the one that seems the most
Inoffensive of the lot. But If they unF
derstood a little more about the shapes
that were suitable for them they would
not need to waste all this time, but
could select with more intelligence and
decidedly less effort. Now 1t is GER
tain that no one shape is suited TO all
faces. All women cannot wear large
mats any more lndu I'LL Can Weui ehS
fashionable close-ftting styles that are
so becoming to a good many. But
somewhere there is a shape that was
made for just your kind of face.
A hat thet is long and narrow in
shape should never be worn by a wom-
an whose face is of the long, oval
type, or, in other words, is long and
thin. Neither should such a woman
wear a hat with a very wide brim, es
pecially if she has delicate features
for this will make her face look very
commonplace and her cheeks almos'
emaciated. She can very becomingll
wear the round turban effect, especial
ly if it has a brim that rolls up; she
can wear the continental shape; TO
this, though pointed in the front, /

wear becomingly all kinds of medium
sized sailor shapes, but as a rule doe
not look well in irregular hats, that is
hats that are wider on n side thai

The matter of the hookworm is
something that has received little at
tention until lately, and even now
comparatively few people pay any at
tention to it. Yet there is reason to
believe that this insignificant worm
has pulled down empires and kept an
immense portion of the habitable
globe in a benighted condition. The
hookworm cannot live where the
ground is frozen for a considerable
portion of the year, and history shows
US that no great nation has ever
thriven and lived long in the tropics
or semi-tropics. And that the dis
orders caused by hookworm have long
afflicted the white races that tried to
live in those regions has long been
known to medical science, tho it has
only lately realized the cause. There
does not exist today any powerful and
well governed nation south of the
Both parallel; neither has one, with
the exception of Egypt, ever existed,
and the ancient Egyptians were not,
as in the case of all other civilized
nations, white people from the
north, but a dark people either from
the south or from one of the great
deserts that fanked their country on
either hand. The hooRWorm has not
debilitated either the negroid races of
Equatorial Africa. nor the aborigines
of South America, but it has probab-
ly a great deal to do with their re-
naming barbarians in some of the
richest portions of the world. Hindo-
stan, mostly peopled by Aryan ma
tions, and probably the cradle of the
Aryan race, is the paradise of the
hookworm, and there the people are
so decadent mentally and physically
that they would ere now have vanish
ed from the earth, had they not been
often reinforced by invaders from
the north, who after conquering the
Hindoos settled down among them
and soon sank to their level. Rich
and fertile Assyria was one of the
worlds most powerful empires for
awhile, but the people sunk in sloth,
and were not only conquered but ex-
terminated. In the north, on the con-
trary, while nations have changed
their governments and their boundar-
les, and some of the smaller and
weaker have been exterminated, they
have survived greater calamities
than those visited on Egypt, India or
Assyria. A considerable portion of
the United States lies south of the
thirtieth degree of latitude, and it is
in this part of the country that hook
worm fourishes. 1t is with view of
eradicating this evil that medical men
are now working, and while well-fed
and weu-shod children are compar-
ati"ely immune, it will be good for
the entire country if the pest can be
removed.

We do not know whether there is
much foundation or not for the re-
port that the West Indies will be
turned over to America. We daresay
both France and Great Britain would
sell them to the United States cheap,
as they cost those governments more
than they are worth. Our govern
ment, however, does not want them
for any reason except to guard the
Panama canal. With a few subma-
rine bases established among them,
they would make the canal unap-
proachable from the east. The ISL
ands are rich and beautiful, but they
are inhaoited by mongrel collection
of people who would make them an
undesirable possession, more to Am
erica than to any other nation.

on their way over on the transports

are being treated about like boys
