Care of WOolen Garments

Systematic brushing Of your clothes
every day will lessen expenditures for
cleaning. Brushing done with circu
lar motion removes loose dirt, restores
the nap and will help remove "shine 1"
Skillful mending of wool garments is
another means of prolonging their period
of usefulness, say home economics ex-
perts of the Department of Agriculture
The success of mend depends on
maintaining the soft appearance of the
surface, duplicating the weave, and
using colors to match those in the gar
meut.
Darning is practically the only method
that will fulfill all these requirements.
If the material is cotton in one direction
and wool in another, make the darn
correspond to the fibers in the original
Identify the weave and duplicate it as
nearly as possible. Use colors which
match, or neutral tones with specks of
color as near the shade as possible. Use
net, tape or mending tissue whenever
possible for re- enforcement. Press the
mended place and it will be less con
spicuous.

The Successful Visitor

Visiting is an art. To make people
feel at home in their own house is the
highest point of human conduct. HE
was never any trouble" said certain
woman of her husband, who, though
he had never supported her, neverthe-
less made her happy for thirty years.
What an epitaph for permanent
visitor!
To visit properly requires supreme
gifts. Silent visitors often get on one $
nerves more than the parrots Their
staring eyes, their maddening acquies-
cence in everything Zone for them, their
almost inexcusable lack of enthusiasm,
leave one dead and cold and weary.
In contrast, we all know the jumping
guest who is always ready to meet your
slightest suggestion with projectile like
activity. and who bounces about the
place from morning till night jostlins
your sacred and inviolable ideas and
tramping roughshod over your mental
gardens, with sublime unconcern.

Wool should be washed in lukewarm
soapsuds. Did you do that? Hot
water will make it yellowish. When
you dry it, place it in muslin bag or
pillow case and hang the bag on the
line. Hanging the shawl over the line
would make it stretch with its own
weight. Tan will take almost any
dark shade nicely. l should think a
darker brown would be the best color
to choose, as you could then wear the
same hat and things with it that you
wore with the tan dress. Rinsing the
dress in water of the same temperature
as that in which it was washed will
prevent shrinking and be sure to dye it
on sunny, windy day, so that it will
dry quickly. I hope it will come out
satisfactorily.

Let the "DoIIs" Alone

Dear Cynthia--I have been following
the discussion rating the pros and
cons of the doll type of girl with much
interest, and would like to put in a
word myself
Somewhere. in my literary wander
ings, | have met a verse running
thusly:
There is so much good in the worst
of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us,
10 talk about the rest of u.s."
And isn't it true? But, to come to
the point. l am girl still in my
teens, well educated, having been
given many advantages, and among
my accomplishments is numbered a
fluent knowledge of foreign languages,
from which derive much pleasure. /
hold responsible position, ard for a
girl rather unique one. But I am
confined i'll an Office all day long. BY
reason of close application I sometimes
take on little pallor, then l bring my
rouge into play. I do not promenade
the thoroughfare with hectic cheeks :;
l simply relieve the pallor. When my
position warrants my seeing more of
the great outdoors, I am not Obliged
to resort TO rouge for color. When I
need it, I use it. When l do not. I
dispense with it.
But why knock the dolls? If a
wholesale use of cosmetics gives them
pleasure, let them go to it. Criticism
will not force them to discard same.
One girl is not held responsible for the
actions of many others. Girls, be
natural. Boys, be little more broad
minded. If you do not care for the
doll type of girl, avoid her company
If you do admire her, you will seek
her anyway. But don't knock. l per-
sonally am by no means doll, but
have as much as I can do in follow
ing the straight and narrow path
myself. JUST HUMAN.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose


TT REALLY seems as if every woman
l. you know well enough to talk
clothes with is planning to get a suit.
BY the time peace came last autumn it
was too late to think about new suits
for autumn or winter. Most of us went
about ordering new evening frocks to
wear to victory balls and other such
gala affairs, but our plans had been
made for our suits and they were for the
most part made according to the war
time idea of what a suit should be,
something eminently serviceable and,
if not actually uniform at least very
uniformish in appearance.
But now-well, really women did
get awfulIy tired of their uniforms and
now they have gone to the other extreme
and are getting the most elaborate
suits they can ind-velvet and en-
broidery and all sorts of other little
feminine devices. Men who have been
ways pick that sort of suit for their
wives.
And speaking of what men like and
admire--did you ever notice how they
fall for black velvet? Try this expert
ment if you aren't convinced. Select two
suits of the same price and value, let
ting one to be black velvet suit and
the other, let us say, n navy blue serge
or cheviot, or possibly n tweed Induce
the husband to go with you to the shop
where you have made your selections
and then without giving him any hint
as to the prices of the suits, get him
to look at both suits. Try them on
ard let him see you wearing them. And
unless the man suspects plot of some
kind or happens to be in some business
connected with fabric or clothing. he
will surely come to the decision that
the suit of black velvet is far more ex p
pensive and what he calls "richer" than
the other one.
And here is a safe bet, that if you
selected for your elaborate winter suit
one like the one illustrated, you would
convince the husband that you had got
your moneys worth, that you had
shown excellent taste. And that. OF
course, is because of the universal par
tiality of mere man for black velvet.
The panel attached to the yoke in the
back is something that again reminds
us that this is the season of backs. And
the back is further elaborated by the
use of embroidery and fur at the lower
edge of the panel The collar is of fur
and the toque is of velvet with aigrettes
at the side that give the outline OF a
wide brimmed hat

Please Tell Me
What to DO

More About "Dolls"

Dear Cynthia-There aren't many of
the boys answering the letters of "A
Doll" Speed up, boys; opinions are
not facts.
"a Doll" is as necessary to man
(unmarricd) as cigar or cigarette,
and satisfies his demand for the ex
pensive in life. When we make a
Dolls acquaintance we do not look
for her soul, ambition or wifely qualifi
cation. If they can make up" well
the symbol is worth parading.
When many of the boys are through
with the days work and shed their
unionalls they "doll up considerably
if pen pusher or member of the white
collar brigade has tried to date up"

When many Of us grow tired of jazz
and calcimine and begin to think Of kid
dies and home, we seek the real girl
and of course, she is more than an
ornament.

tories and mills throughout the states.
None of the "dolls" have vamped me
OF the other boys. Perhaps we were
not worth vamping.
Feminine intuition tells any "doll"

This would provide a daily bal

ances Of starchy foods causes this
product to be stored in the body in
the form of fat. If we eat more pro-
tein, or bodybuilding food, than is
required for repair and building of
new tissue, this product is not stored
in the body, but is passed out
through the alimentary canal; this
causes unnecessary distress and it
overloads the kidneys and liver.
Starchy foods and fats are also
heat-producing foods and are con-
sumed in larger proportions during
the fall and winter, owing to the
fact that the cold weather chills the
surface of the body and more heat
is needed.
Faulty elimination and overeating
will prdouce administration, which
in its train brings other diseases.
To attempt to prescribe remedies
without first consulting a physician
is dangerous. Consult a physician
and then carefully follow his direc-
tions for dieting, cutting down and
eliminating such foods as he will
prescribe. Drink plenty of water,
grape juice and buttermillS.

IONE Of the most helpful balancing
" slogans ] know of is this one: "You
cant have everything at the same
time"
What makes me talk about it at this
particular time is letter from girl
who is trying to decide whether or not
to go to night school this winter.
Here is the situation. The girl holds
position which develops only the bust
ness bump in her mind and she would
like very much to get acquainted with
some of the fine things in the world
that have nothing to do with business
That's easy, you say. If she knows
what she wants to do, why doesn't she
just go ahead and do it? But here's
the rub. If the girl gives up couple
of evenings a week to course in liter
ature and a couple of others to prepar-
ing for 1t she will have to give up, to a
large extent, going out at night.
II am twenty three" she writes.
and i don't feel that I can afford to
drop out of things that way. When a
girl gets to my age it's important for
her to be meeting new men because--I

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-A says it is improper
in signing or writing letters to use the
prefix Mrs. B says it is proper. Kindly
settle the dispute. j. G. Nj.
A is correct in this. A letter should
be signed with the full Christian name
and surname of the writer. In the case
of a married woman she signs her fun
name. and in a formal letter writes her
title and her husbands first initial in
parentheses in front of the name.
