As suggestion for making reduc- ing attractive, why not have one meal every day from salad? If you are trying to take off superdu ous flesh, your breakfast will be very Hght-probably only plain toast, glu- ten toast preferably, black coffee, and perhaps the juice of an orange, or one soft boiled egg
 Why not make your luncheon one big dish of salad, and tea with lemon and no suSar-uDless you like sac charine, which all Europe used for sweetening drinks when the sugar shortage and the war lasted-and either a, muffin or more plain toast?
 Lettuce is very good for the sys- tenn, and is not fajttening. Celery, tomatoes, green beans and peas, fruit, in fact almost all the salad ingredi- errts, are included in the non-fatten- ing foods
 Here are a few suggestions:
 Lettuce leaves, the tough outside ones, chopped up fine and mixed with cottage cheese. Being made of skim milk, this is not fattening and it is delightful mixed this way and flavor ed with salt, pepper and a little sugar.

 Then, withdrawing to the middle of the room he would strike a, cere- Inonial attitude, and repeat incom- prehensible words which frightened me.

Localized deposits of pigment may be caused by con tinual scratching or by the continued use of counter irritants Gas mustard plasters) or by besicantS. (drugs used to raise blisters.)

 Tucking is a trimming that when well done is artistic and looks well after laundering as when new. Pin tucks are especially attractive in sheer materials. The space between the tucks depends upon the taste of the worker, though the tucks shown here are about one-eighth of an inch apart. One should be careful to make them very tiny and regular.
