Many a backache may be averted
IL the sink in the kitchen Is the right
height. If a woman has to bend
over a dishpan there's sure to be an
uncomfortable feeling at the very
spot where her back bends. If a
short woman has to lift her shoul-
ders in order to wash dishes in the
sink there's sure to be an ache be-
tween her shoulder blades. The first
difficulty is easily overcome by put
ting a wooden rack In the sink for
the dishpan to rest on. If the sink
is too high it should be lowered to
fit the person most interested in

NEW YORK-So dainty and In
genious is this little frock. quite the
prettiest of all the petal frocks seen
this season, that its sleevelessness
does not obtrude itself at all.
1t is all of chiffon cloth, which
is much firmer and a trife thicker
than chiffon. and each of the pet
ais is formed of a square of n
chiffon caught up at its upper
to form the petal effect,
instead of being cut in that shape
originally. The effect is much
softer and mort youthful.
The corsage has a triangular
section of the chiffon cloth drawn
up to each shoulder to be held
with a snail cluster of artificial
flowers ocer a lace and chiffon
bandeau-brassiere, and then. drop
ping from the belt are two long
steamers of ribbon that knot in,

heard of personality dolls?

wife if o prefer. or perhaps the
young girl you intend to marry.
Such are the new dolls as invent

leave you-I had Hoppe make a
personality doll, just like me. you
see. She will keep you company
and will not yawn!"
Another story has it that a young
gentleman trying this same method
on his adoring wife. crept into the
drawing room, with his likeness in
dolldom to offer as company to her
for an evening that would otherwise
be spent alone. only to find upon his
entrance n doll likeness of his wife
