ESTHER'S NEW IDEA
Chantar 50

We never did any work Sunday af-
ternoons. That was rule observed
religiously in the house, and a very
welcome rule too. For aside from any
religious or sacred respect for the day,
it gave us the only hours during the
week to relax, to think about things
other than the immediate task, to take
hold of ourselves once more.
Violet and James would go together
often, and sit under the trees in the
little woods across the fields from our
house. Violet would carry her books
along and would read aloud and study,
while James lay on his back on the
grass and listened. 1t was rather
charming and so unlike the spirit ex-
listing between most brothers and sis
ters that we knew.
What are you reading all the
time?" Esther said fretfully one hot
Sunday as the two started away.

"Humph." said Esther. 81 don't see
as any such fancy knowledge will do
James any good. Won't make him

cry" I said. " I wonder what books
or magazines l could get him about
that?"
Machinery" Jim said suddenly,
coming through the door in time to
hear my question. Don't talk to me
about James and machinery! I let
him repair the reaper when it broke
this summer and you should have seen
the mess he made. Cost me s25.
He fairly stormed out of the room.
! turned around to Esther in surprise
She shrugged her shoulders little
an action that somehow emphased the
layers of fat over them and over all
her body.
james wanted to make up some
sort of engine, l dunno what" she ex-
planned. so last winter he borrowed
some little wheels from the reaper and
some ball bearings. Jim tried to run
it, not knowing. and it wouldn't work
of course and got stuck somehow, I
don't know how. Anyway, James re-
membered and put back the parts he'd
borrowed, but even then something
was strained and it cost Jim a lot of
money"
She walked, fat-footed, across the
room.
We'll, I guess I'll lie down a bit"
she announced. What you dom,

room.
l looked at myself in the unfriendly
glass when I was alone. l did not
look as we'll as usual
That is the tragedy Of age, after
all-at least, the tragedy of mid
die age. Youth can put almost
any strain upon it's vitality, and
wake up with rosy cheeks and
bright eyes next morning But we
who are in the middle period must
be SO careful. We have so little
to give out that We must some

I ought to know it, was her method
of excuse.
She had taken off her housedress
and the fiimsy corsets she sometimes
wore, and rolled around herself a
curious old garment. 1t had once
been housedress; it was striped
Bingham with the wreck of a ruffle
around the wide skirt, and a hastily
put in seam where the sleeves had
been shorn off at the elbow. Esther's
method of making a kimono out of it
was to slit it up the front and turn
back the raw edges. The voluminous
affair was wrapped around her now
and held by being grasped at one side
with her hand

she said, stretching out on my bed.
/ turned little red. l felt some
how that was doing something wrong
in trying to make myself look better
But there l was, with cold cream on
my skin and my hair down, and there
was nothing to do but go on with
my treatments.
l remembered when she found me
once trying on white dress and her
remark that there was mo fool like
an old one" / became a little defiant
i got up and went through the stretch
ing and bending exercises Helen had
taught me.

and at the pretty kimono which some

with great deal of interest
YES, you do look better" she con-
coded, sincerely though rather grudg-
ingly, when | was through. and that
way of doing your hair does improve

dresses, and stood up for inspection.
And then Esther made an amazing re-
mark: Il been thinking" she said
slowly, that since going to the city
did you so much good, made you new
all over, as l might say, that I would

had real good time"
And again l felt that unseen hand,
clutching my throat and sitting the
life breath out of me.

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at homo,
but 1t beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found
that they can save two-thlrds OF the
money usually spent for cough prepare,

for making cough syrup at home. 1t
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
of q cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
"a hours or less.
Gnt 2E ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make a full pint. If you prefer, use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. Either way, 1t
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
a family a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it

heals the membranes, and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing

hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
Finex is special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.

SOME TOILET HINTS
Paris, November 9, 1920.


If l hoped that l would be able to
find here a great many new lotions for
the care of the skin and hair, l see
now that l am sure to be disappoint-
ed. Paris is indeed the place where
many of the best of these things are
made, but most of the toilet lotions
are extremely complicated to make
and contain ingredients which We
would find it impossible to purchase
at home.
However, there are few simple To-
tions which are widely sold here and
which anyone at home can make for
herself. Personally, | am inclined 10
think that these are quite as effective
as the more expensive and more COM
plicated varieties. l would like, for
instance. to give the formula for a
strawberry emulsion, which is splen-
did for an irritable dry or scaly skin,
and which is somewhat astringent and,
therefore. good for the middle aged as
well as the young woman:
Strawberry Emulsion
Strawberry juice, y tumbler full
Powdered borax, 1 generous pinch
Eau de cologne, 20 drops
Fresh milk, II glass.
This will be sticky if the strawber-
ry juice is sweetened. In that case,
/ think if you add n little more
cologne it will make it right, since
most strawberry juice, to be obtained
now, comes in preserves. This makes
a delicious looking emulsion which
can be patted on the face after wash
ing and allowed to dry in.
1t is very pretty color and it is
supposed to lend healthy tinge to a

sallow skin. This emulsion was sold
me in a perfectly lovely little bottle
for a great deal of money. 1t will
cost practically nothing to make at
home.
Mothers Darling-I would not ad-
wise you to try anything more compli-
Gated in treating the nose than to
massage and tap it with the finger
tips, to stimulate circulation, and then
to rub it with ice. This viii tend to
overcome the, flabbiness. OF course
if you are too stout, as you say you
are, you will find it a great improve
ment if you will reduce. Frequently
those lines around the cheek are
nothing but the result of too much
flesh on the cheeks.
Stenographer-It is not true that if
one is too fat in any special part of
the body, the whole body must be
reduced. You are troubled with the
commandment of all stenographers-
fat that collects below the waist and
around the hips. In your particular
case, wouldn't advise you to go with
out corsets, but would suggest instead
that you wear hip-confiners to bind in
the hips, leaving the waist free. Take
bending and STOPPING exercise to re-
Guce the flesh around the waist. You
are, from your description of yourself,
about 20 pounds overweight. so, of
course, if you reduce to normal the
hips would not be so large.
