Editorials For
Women Folks

She was a fragile little lady, flow
er-like exquisite, lovely.
He used to like to watch her-just
the wonder of her delicate beauty.
And he was proud, sc proud,
when finally he took her home and
showed her to his big family as their
relative-his wife! 1t was a pleas
ure to shut windows, bring her
wraps and show her every attention
he possibly could.
He "a wondrously happy owe 1t
at first.
But with the honeymoon over and
the work at the office piling on a
little more heavily all of the time,
the thing palled. Finally it irri-
tated him.
He used to wonder sometimes why
she didn't get the scarf she needed
for her shoulders herself instead of
interrupting the few quiet hours he
had after dinner.
1t annoyed him to be asked con-
shut that door so a draft would not
strike her., She had hands, why
couldn't she have done it herself
he thought.
!. When she wanted a drink of wa
ter she asked him to get 1t for her
and if the book she had been read
ing had been left upstairs she asked
him to bring 1t.
And the bills, the water bills. gas
bills and electric bills-she would
have paid them in time to get the
disc cunt, but :he weather hal bee:.
so sharp and she feared going out
in it, she explained and If h did
MT get to it in a day or two he could
take care of them next week.
And so. finally, in order to get
away from a constant reminder of
the delicacy he once thought he ad-
mired, he spent his evenings alone.
If she sat on the veranda. he sought
the living room. If she read in the
living room, he went upstairs.
And things kept going from bad
to worse because the fragile little
lady was not clever enough to I'M
derstand that when a man marries,
some of his ideals reverse.

Correct Carriage

A good posture is as much a mark
Of beauty as regular features. Bad
poise often is responsible for the
failure of vital organs to work
properly. . Frequently 1t puts an
unnatural, harmful strain or mus
cles and ligaments.
With the proper carriage of the
body, the head is erect, the chin in,
the chest forward, the abdomen fiat,
the back straight and strong. feet
pointed straight forward.
1t is not necessary TO assume a
stiff ram-rod military bearing like
that of a soldier on parade to carry
the body right. Just a free and easy
carrying of the body in its natural
way, which make ii easier for one
to walk sit or stand without tir-
ing, is not hard to assume.
A person Walking with head erect
chest high, step agile, gives one an
impression of force and activity.
Another dragging along with droop-
ing head and plodding feet suggests
languor and weakness. With the
latter carriage is associated poor
circulation, bad digestion, weak
iiuSClcS anu q dSpiS SsSN Aliiu.
Good poise gives the blood a
chance to carry new food material
where 1t is needed and to eliminate
waste, for the nerves to carry mes
sages without interruption and for
the lungs to bring oxygen or repair
food to every tissue.
A careless sitting position may
cause a number of faults of posture,
with their resulting depression. The
| spine is forced to bear the weight
which should rest upon the large
bones or the hips. The diminished
blood supply gives the muscles a
feeling of ~numbness. Equally bad is
the stiff, erect position which on oc-
count of the high tension, causes
nervousness.
Daily exercise, well regulated, not
only prevents wrong standing, sit
ting and walking, but in many cases
ccrrects the faults of carriage. Prob
ably no practice is more valuable
from the standpoint of posture than
the cultivation of deep-breathing as
a habit,
In cases where the spine has suf-
fered lateral, curvature, thai is,
when the body has been bent to one
side allowing one shoulder to droop,
special exercise may be found that
will correct this defect in a young
person. Adults will require more
strenuous exercise and a practice of
general hygiene.
Locking the thumbs overhead and
bending the trunk to II side is one
of the many exercises good in the
case of lateral curvature.
Dancing is a wholesome and most
effective way of cultivating good
carriage. 1t calls into play muscles
In all parts of the body, and tends
to produce. symmetry. Outdoor
sports, such as swimming, skating.
tramping, rowing and horseback
riding, help bring about proper car
riage.

Wednesday. August 81, 1921
Astrologers read this as an UNI
fortunate day, for Jupiter. Saturn,
Neptune and Mars are all in malehc
aspect.
All the signs seem to indicate that
there will be bitter discussion re-
garding the army and navy and
widely divergent views that cannot
be easily reconciled.
Neptune is in a place held to pre-
vent sane and clear vision on Ques-
tions of public comment.
1t is we'll for business men to
follow conservative methods IN the
early autumn when there will be a
gradual settling of conditions. The
outlook is on the whole most assur-
ing.
California and other Western
States are subject to much better
planetary direction than the East.
Women are now subject to iniu-
| ences that should make them read
| lust many of their ideas concerning
| business and professional methods,
| for they will have many severe tests
to judgment.
The stars foreshadow a tendency
| on the part of men as we'll as women
to take big risks in financial mat
tiers and they are forewarned that
the seers prognosticate losses and
disaster.
According to the readings of the
planetary aspects those who are to
| enjoy prosperity and success must
conform to conservative standards of
life and work.
Labor troubles will mark the
autumn when women will have an
| opportunity to uncover instances Of
injustice and discrimination In in
dustry.
Congressman and members of
state legislatures are to learn that
| the votes of women will rebuke
records that are not in accordance
| with the highest ideals of service,
astrologers declare.
Great honor is to be bestowed on
a. woman who is to be appointed to
some foreign service.
The President of the United States
continues under the best direction
of the stars, and his fair fortunes
will be largely influenced by Mrs.
Harding's horoscope, which contains
many promising signs.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
probably will have an eventful year
with many ups and downs.
Children born on this day will be
marked for varied experiences all
through life. These subjects of
Virgo often reach the highest places.

magnesia, French chalk, which Is
not chalk at all but ground soap
stone, and fuller's earth, an Eng
lish product. Then of course-rice
and wheat starch.
The mixing of ones own face
powder is a simple process, so the
girl who has originated her W par
ticular perfume by mixing several.
can carry the same idea out in her
powder if she wishes.
A smooth powder will result from
| mixing together equal parts of rice
flour, fuller's earth and wheat
, starch. Perfume, any essential oil
desired, may be added.
If you like the scent of violets a
powder closely resembling the ex-
rensive product can be made by
mixing three ounces of wheat
| starch with one ounce of powdered
! orris root Rub this together with
a very little water. Perfume with
essential oils of lemon, bergamot
and cloves, using about double the
amount of lemon that you do of the
two others.
These two recipes produce an alb
solutely white powder. And as you
see, one lacking any harmful chem
icals. If you prefer flesh tints,
cochineal is a coloring matter which
you car be safe in using. 1t is not
injurious.
The kind of powder you use and
the way you use it counts much one
way or another. Mustn't ever scrub
it in! That fairly shoves 1t into the
pores and clogs them up. Then the
skin is more shiny and in worse
condition than if you didn't use any
at all.
Deal gently with YOU skin!

only place he knew of where girls

not sent us to a place where the

did he know her?-I wondered.

CHAPTER 96
Ellen announced luncheon and we
went into the dining room. In its
way it was as lovely as my living
room, a room done in restful blues
and grays, against which the dark
mahogany shone and the silver
cleaned.
80 glad you didn't go in an apart
ment full of red plush and more or
less Louis XIV gilt and trimmings"
Colin observed.
This is silly enough, for a person
of my simple tastes" I answered,
LOOK at the length of this table, big
enough for ten and it can't be made
smaller. I've had luncheon set at
n ed, otherwise WI would have
to shout across at each other"
We settled down and began the
meal in silence. Colin wisely refused
to talk depressing subjects at the
table. He waited until he had a demi
tasse before him and a cigarette lit.
Then he remarked:
After all, it's my fault. I should
not have let you go last night. 1 was
sure the time for a reconciliation was
not yet. But then 1 did think that
perhaps Win had changed a little.
Perhaps I was affected because he
went up to look at your portrait. And
I thought that your unexpected ap-
pearance might be a good thing-get
him off his guard, in a way"
He was the same as ever. When
co you think he might change? You
seem to feel he is going to. You're
much more optimistic than I am"
well, you see. I hear a lot in va
rious ways, I know SO many people.
You know how talk runs about. And
women sitting for their pictures in
variably tell me the history of their
lives and the lives of all their friends.
They get sitting there with
heard!" He leaned back, smiling
little at me.
What made you think that Win
eve would changer"
well, for one thing, he has intel
hgence, and nc one can go on for
ever living the empty existence he's
been living without firing some time.
The fact that he has been going less
hard lately made me think he was
dropping those people. They r a
bad lot, too. That is, there Is simply
nothing to them to Interest anyone.
Win has much more Intelligence
than any six of them put together.
For another, he hasn't been keen
about any of the women He's been
nice to all of them and f1attered by
their attentions. But he is just as
pleased to be asked to bring a woman
of fifty to a party as the prettiest girl
In that set. Gwen holds his interest,
though not as she used to. But you
were a goose ever to have been jeal-
pus of Gwen. A lot of his devotion
TO her was more or less a spiteful
reaction to your dislike of her"

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Canning tomatoes should not be
oVer-ripe. Too much emphasis can
not be put on this. An over-ripe
tomato contains an acid that no
amount of cooking can neutralize
and the vegetables will not keep af-
ter canning. Solid fruit should be
procured and any undesirable spots
carefully cut away.
Pour scalding water over tomatoes
and the skins will slip off easily.
Tomatoes may be canned by the
cold pack method or the open kettle.
If a housekeeper has her W garden
and cans only a few jars at a time
the open kettle method is preferable,
but when a bushel of tomatoes are
to be canned at one time the cold
pack method v time.
Canned Tomatoes
(Cold Pack)
Wash tomatoes. Pour over boiling
water and let stand IN minutes or
until the skins will slip easily. Cut
large tomatoes in quarters and pack
in sterilized jars, add 1 teaspoonful
of salt to each quart of tomatoes, ad-
just rubber and half seal top. Put in
boiling water to cover the jars by at
least two inches and process twenty
hVe minutes. Count the time after
boiling begins. Do not add water to
the tomatoes in the cans, for the
juice of the tomatoes themselves
covers the pieces. Salad" tomatoes
may be canned whole and served as
salad when opened. Do not forget
to cold dip the fruit before slipping
off the skins.
Open Kettle Method
Wash tomatoes. Pour over scald-
ing water and slip off skins. Cut in
pieces and put in preserving kettle.
Add salt in the proportion of 1 tea
spoonful to a quart of tomatoes.
Bring to the boiling point and boil
Is minutes. Pour into sterilized cans
and seal while boiling hot. The cans
must be full to OVERLOOKING and the
tomatoes must be boiling hot.
Tomatoes Canned for Soup
Wash tomatoes and cut in pieces.
Put in preserving kettle and bring
to boiling point. Boil 10 minutes.
Rub through a sieve. Put Juice or
"puree" in preserving kettle, bring
to boiling point, boil five minutes and
pour into sterilized jars. Seal while
boiling hot. Tomato PURGE may be
used for gelatine salads as well as
soups.

very much like the human body in
its working and troubles and you take
it to a mechanic to fix because you
know that he knows more about il
than you do. So tell your repairman
what the symptoms are and. leave il
to him to fix it without your advice
unless you are one of those very rare
people who really do know a car &.
Nearly every owner thinks he knows
more about his car than the man who
made it and out of his vast wisdom
tells the repairman how to fix it when
the chances are the trouble is some
thing entirely different from what he
thinks it is.
There are many devices of various
kinds on the market to make the care

tell you about them and their use.
Think it over and then ask someone

and how to use it intelligently as well
as how to keep it in the best of con-.

many drivers or owners of automo.
biles know even the first rudiments OF
proper or careful driving, the kind
that will get the most out of the car
and at the same time give it the least
wear and tear.
Grease is the most important factor
in reducing wear on any kind of ma.
chinery and frightening its life and
good service. 1t is impossible to put
enough grease on an automobile to
injure it but too little will very de.
cidedly injure it. Every turn of
the wheels or motor when there is not
enough oil or grease means as much
wear as many turns when there is
plenty.
If you do not want to go to the
trouble to grease your car yourself
there are any number of places that
make business of it. Find one on
which you can depend and have it at
tended to regularly. 1t will cost you
something but that cost will be as
nothing compared to the cost of new
parts or the depreciation on the cars
value.
And when you do have to have re-
pairs made, do not go to the repair
man and tell him what you think the
trouble is and to fix this or that part
or to do this or that and nothing else
The chances are that you know moth
ing at all about it. You know that
something about it does not work as
it should but are you mechanic enough
to know the cause or the remedy Tor
it?
When you call a doctor you do not
tell him what to do, you tell him
what the trouble seems to be or what
the symptoms are and leave it to his
knowledge of such things to fix it
up If you knew what to do you would
not call him at all. An automobile is
