IF in this era OF high prices there
is no new, cheap food to which
= we may turn, perhaps we can
solve the problem by better use
of old foods. When our pocket
books grow nat we may study with
profit what families whose pocket
books have long been fiattened
have to eat. And in such study
the first dish to sttract attention II
soup-the one universal food.
In this country soup is too often
looked on as an additional course
and not as the main feature of a
meal. If we hive an eve to econ
omy, however. we must make soup
the principal Dish Of meal. Surely

good bread or crackers, IL q COM
plete meal in itself.
Soups msy be divided into two
classes-thcse which have a meat
stock basis and those with a milk
basis. In he first class come all
the boulliois, broshs. etc. In the
second clals, known as cream"
SOUPS, we nave tie pulp of vege-
tables added to milk or a thin
white SAUCE.
To MAXI a cool meat soup we
need the light bores and cuts and
plenty of them. Tie shank of beef.
especially the fore shank, contains
the gelaine and extractives which
give soups navo' and strength.
The neck, the plat or parts Of the
neck a,d shoulde. either of beef
or mutton, are ecellent for soup
making. All tones should be
cracked well to allow the juices to
escape >,
Good soup is,made not by boil
ing, but by simrering. which means
a very slow, lolg cooking over low
heat. Soup tat is boiled rapidly
is vatery andEithout flavor. First,
all neat and bone should be laid in
cold water aid allowed to stand for
several hous with salt added to
bring out ne most Of the extrac-
tiyes. A slow, gentle cooking
should fdlow for several hours.

Flowers for the Table

with this lovely material alone. :.
The crysanthemum is more pops
lar in the Fall than any other
flower. Some beautiful new yarie-
ties in the small types are magnifi-
cent for table decorations.
A simple form of table decoration
is found in the use of a wellar-
ranged centerpiece. This may be
only a vase tastefully filed with
flowers.
A more elaborate decoration calls
for auxiliary pieces-short vases
filed with flowers serve admirably.
II vines or trailing greens are used
they should start from seemingly
natural point, such as the decorated
base d centerpiece, and end a.

The floral pieces on long table
should never be arranged in q
straight line from end to end-A
zigzag arrangement is more artistic.

must be given to the lighting. With

The Danger Age
By Lima CaValieri,
The Most Famous Living Beauty.

See whether you mouthe when you
talk. Using the lips overmuch Is
most unlovely habit OF speech, 30 do
not thrust them forward when you
talk, or twist them about your
words. or draw the upper lip into
small futed folds. where the
wrinkles will be when you become
old.
This futing of the upper lip 10
particularly unbecoming. and devel-
ops ugly and repulsive lines. II you
catch yourself forming such . habit
you must rid yourself OF 1t at once.
Practice talking before the mirror
until you have learned new man
agement for the muscles. then see
that you continue in this habit.
You will find it distinct advan-
tage to Oil the upper lip well BY
patting into 1t any of the good cold
creams. Below are two remedies
that can specially recommend for
dry and wrinkled looking lips:
Almond oil. / ounce; Orange oil, 2
drops. Or, olive oil, ounce; e.
sence of violet, 6 drops.
The cheek muscles are prone to
sagging, and to counterfeit this,
they should be we'll bound up during
a third of our days-that IL, every
night, which is third Of our day
and any other time while we are
resting, by rubber band or tight
muslin one firmly fastened about
the chin and pinned or clasped at
the crown of the head. This impris-
ons and makes firmer the muscles
that would otherwise drop in sleep.
When the profile view diseloses
an ugly bag of loose skin or droop-
ing muscles it is high time to set
to work upon that age-betraying
feature with a serviceable lump Of
ice. Tilt the chin upward and press
the lump of ice, which should be
smooth, firmly against it. holding it
as long as you can bear the cold.
Then iron the sagging muscles,
moving the lump of ice steadily up
ward toward the point Of tho chin.
Another method for strengthening
sagging muscles is to press them
lightly, but firmly, with the palm,
beginning at the point of the chin
and working backward and upward
in a gentle massage movement,
turning the corners sharply at ths
edge Of the jaw, pressing on uls
ward to the cheekbones.

a IT thirty-fve woman has lost
~ the enviable freshness and
attractiveness of youth. At
thirty-fve her face has a more "set-
tied" look and the muscles have
begun to fall.
That Is true. And at thirty-fve
the hair above the temples and at
the apex OF the head, is likely to
turn a little gray or change color
slightly. 1t may only grow lighter
or little ruddier in those places,
but change of some sort is almost
sure to come.
At thirty-five, the complexion that
UP to that time may have kept its
pink and white girlishness grows
paler. At that age 1t is inclined
to take on sallow tint. And, what
is still more serious, the texture
that may have been satin smooth
begins to grow coarser.
It is at thirty too, that the
thickening or thinning of the flg-
ure begins. Heredity does its in
evitable work. II you are Of fat
family. you begin to fatten. If of
lean family you grow thinner.
Women cOarsen or refine with
age. 1t is natures trick to change
woman to q wraithlike semblance
of her early youth or to settle her
into heavy solidity and shapeless-
ness as the years multiply. At
thirty-five there appears the first
o'ershadowing of the sort of woman
you will be in your old age period.
It is the real danger age of woman.
At this time one must redouble the
care Of her beauty. One must, so to
speak, get her second wind.
Do not let 1t alarm you. Let 1t
mercy have the effect Of making
you more considerable Of your natu-
raj heritage, more careful Of those
special points of loveliness-the ex-
pressive eyes, the childlike skin, the
graceful figure or the regular fea-
lures whatever 1t is that nature
: has bestowed upon you as her per-
sonal gift.
First, look to those falling facial
muscles. for they are. more surely
than wrinkles, the betrayers of ad-
yancing age. Stand or sit before
your mirror and make conversation
with your reflected SELF Notice the
tricks of your muscles in speech.

How to Use Leftover Meat Fats By nay

VERY woman who has had any
experience in home manage
ment or housekeeping knows
that successful economy in the
kitchen depends far more upon
common sense In preparing and sea-
soning food than upon merely cut
ting down the amount bought.
It is poor economy to serve care
lessly prepared or unappetizing
food. even though the expense is
foods lend themselves to attractive
and wholesome methods of prepa-
ration Just as readily as do the
costly foods.
1t seems a pity that housekeep-
ers are not given the benefit Of the
scientific economies practised by
the great hotels and restaurants.
However, each housekeeper should
Judge for herself as to which econ
omies, under her particular condi'
tions, are worth while.
Not long ago it was my privilege
10 study the problem OF food econ
omy in several of the large New
York hotels. / was impressed by
the rigid economy practised in
every one.
In answer to my question, "How
shall American housekeepers prac-

great chefs that she must utilize

save every drop Of fat or drippings.

Beauty's Question Box

LOW can I make my mouth
! ! look smaller and my nps
ruddy red?-INQUIRER.
Try to cultivate an expression of
frankness and amiability. This
will do more to beautify the ap-
pearance Of the mouth than any
thing else. Also, the mouth is SO
plastic that a gentle, indeterminate
pinching of the corners will some
times make it look smaller. An
astringent lotion of camphor or
tannin will likewise aid in reducing
the apparent size Of the lips, but
you must never bite or pinch them
in an effort to deepen their color
The natural freshness of even pale
lips is more beautiful than any
artificial or unnatural brilliancy.
