Value and Use of Whey.

in connection with them.
When unreasonable heat sours the
milk we use it to make cream or cot

down the sink. not without guilty
feeling, even though We knew it was
mostly water. InStinctively we felt
that it was something wasted. and

elements of food. The whey is about
half as valuable as the curd. but at
that it is much too valuable to throw
away.
For cornstarch pudding mix four
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with a
quarter of a cup OF cold whey, and
add it to a pint of scaided whey.

ter. Add four tablespoonfuls of sugar,
Il pinch of salt and cook half an hour,

Another recipe is for salad dress

whey is particularly suitable. Heat a
cupfui of whey and the juice of two
lemons together. Mix two table
spoonfuls of cornstarch with two of

these to the whey and lemon; add

Easy Beauty Treatments.

do not mean to suggest anything
long and elaborate-most of US are

thing complicated. even if we had
the inclination. 1 want to suggest
few things that take almost no
time at all. but whose benefits will be
felt for years.
Here's schedule that won't take
more than five or ten minutes a day
1t means a clearer skin, thicker and
more beautiful hair. longer lashes and
youthful fingernaiIs. No woman pos
sessing these four points Of beauty
would ever be entirely homeiy.
When going to bed first take down
the hair and shake it out, giving the
scalp quick. vigorous massage.
Every other night. use hair tonic and
let the massage extend over three
minutes.
Roll the hair back. cover the face
with cold cream, massage ssi WIN WIN

to the ears This process may take

Yourself on these treatments il you
wish. Wipe off the cream with a
soft cloth.
Now rub a special cuticle cream

you wish it. Then rub either the
evelash tonic or a vegetable oil into
the eyeIashes and the brows if the
eyebrows need stimulating. Let this
cream or tonic stay on, to be alb
sorbed while you sleep.

that collects under the edge of the
gums. 1t is a tedious task for a
dentist. as he must turn back the
edge of the gums and remove the
deposit with the fine tools. which
means all hand work and care. After
this, there is the treatment to harden
and strengthen the gums. SO they
will hold the roots of the teeth
firmly though they will never grow
down over the teeth as they were
formerly.
The dentist will also prescribe a
wash that will neutraliZe the acids
and assist in building up healthy
condition in the mouth. but the pa
tient should help in this by giving
the gums more exercise through
masticating a coarser diet. Do not
feel discouraged and allow any
dentist to persuade you to part with
all those good teeth, as your case
may be cured easily. This thorough
cleaning costs much more than the
slipshod way where only the visible
part of the teeth is done. but it is
worth more than the price, as it
means health to the mouth.

other. With her newly found freedom
from obedience to a throne she discard
ed whatever ceased to please her during
| the day.
AS a republic, and under the direc
| toire, she was not more whimsical in
fashion than the queens who sat on the
throne. Marie Antoinette changed the
fashions every week. She was aided by
her designer, Rose Bertin. and such ex-
travagance was partly the reason for
her appearance at the foot of the Guillo-
tine. The French never forgave her
frivolity. although the rest of the world
looking on at France, wonders if a con-
stant change in fashion is not the breath
of life to the nation.
But throughout all the changes in
modernity while Napoleon was in COM
mand. Fashions echoed his adventures.
AS he was a whirlwnd it was to be ex-
pected that fashions would whirl, too:
and in the middle of this whirling there
came about Il demand for yellow. The
fashion for it became a movement. 1t
was beyond all other fashions. 1t swept
Paris and London and Rome like an
epidemic. 1t was begun by an actress
who was inspired by a manufacturer.
She made his fortune through wearing
the products of his mills.
Today. when America is reviving
those old fashions of another troublous
period. she. too. turns toward yellow.
The manufacturers suit her desire and
cater to it. One can find yellow fabrics
that will make up into any kind of
gown. even into the homespun tailored
suit that has become the fashion of the
hour as against the one-picce frock for
the street.
There has been a widespread use for
gold for several years and the incoming
of yellow merely deepens this fashion.
The sketch shows an evening frock
which gives A good idea of the pic
turesque qualities which have entered
into the new summer clothes and which
are pleasantly received by mass of
women who are weary of monaStic ef-
fectS.
This gown is of yellow hrocaded taf-
feta with yellow tulle cape fastened
to it's shoulder straps. These straps are
of light blue ribbon and they are re-
peated on the skirt in the form of
streamers falling from the middle of
media llions. The effect is Watteau.
One likes this cape very much. 1t
hides the baroness given by the sleeve
less gown and as the world is satiated
with semi nudity. the tulle cape as a
gracious background meets the eye

The streamers Of blue ribbon are a
novelty of the season. Floating ends
spring out from all sorts of gowns.
