~ THE procession of styles eacn sea-
son, new interpretations of old fa-
vorites are more certain of well
come and success than unaccustomed
things can be.
The MILDLY blouse is an institution,
like other blouses, and 1t is among
those old favorites hat are newly in
terpreted each season. just now IL
has smooth sailing in company with
skirts to match 1t and appears in the
MILDLY suit as shown in the illustra-
ton. 1t is n spirited and youthful af-
fair, to be developed in any of the
sturdier suitings, which will appeal to
busy and up-to-date young women,
whatever their occupation. In the pic.
ture 1t is shown made of serge in a
small shepherd check, exquisitely
tailored, and is as crisp and snappy as
a military uniform-never was any
thing better suited to tie American girl
In every particular this MILDLY sui
deserves TO be accepted as a criterion
to measure others by.
All we ask of our old favorites is
hat there shall be something new
about them, some little ~cleverness OF
originality in their composition OF

NEEDED VARIETY IN FOODS
Necessity for Properly Balanced
Meals Is Something That is Not
Generally Understood.

Many attacks of illness would be
prevented if we gave our foods the
proper attention. Correct eating hab-
more toward promoting longevity.
Therefore the subject of eating should
be given our most careful attention.
We all need foods containing pro-
TEN, such as meat, eggs, cheese, beans,
milk. etc Adults need protein to re-
store used tissue in working, living
and breathing. Growing children re-
quire 1t to furnish them with bone and
muscle tissue. AT least one-fifth of
the meal should consist of protein
foods.
Carbohydrates are very essential.
These are found In starchy vegetables.
such as potatoes and cereals, sugar,
honey or fresh fruits. Carbohydrates
furnish energy and heat TO the body
and should be about two-fifths of the
meal. Fats also give heat and energy
to the body. Food containing fats are
butter, salad oils, milk, nuts, oleomar-
garine, etc.
Mineral foods are needed to
strengthen the bone, teeth, hair and
nails. Foods hat are strong In min
erals are the yolks of eggs, meat,
rolled oats, fruits and vegetables. They
keep body processes In order. The
body also requires a liberal amoun
Of good drinking water, which most OF
us neglect.
A well-balanced meal should consist
of some food from each class. Don't
try to balance each meal, but make an
effort to balance your meals Tor each
day.-Thrift Magazine.

"SHOWING OFF" THE COLONEL
storekeeper Had Eye for Business in
Keeping Good-Looking Customer
Waiting for Attention.

A woman in a small town asked her
husband, Colonel Blank, to call in at
h dairy when passing to order some
new-laid eggs. After making a brief
demur the colonel yielded. A little
later he called at the shop in question,
quite a small and unimportant estab-
lishment on a back street.
Two or three minutes passed; then.
as no IN came to serve him, the colo
mel gave a gentle knock on the coun-
ter. This had no effect; so a smart
double rap was given. Then a curly
headed youngster put his head around
the door and announced, Fathers
a-comin'."
BY the time the father arrived the
colonel was boiling with rage.
what do you mean by keeping me
waiting all this time?" he roared.
VERY sorry. sir" said the man, but
you see it's like this. You're the very
first good-looking man that I've had in

fall blouses are showing just how well
they can more than fill our expecta-
dons. They are made of %georgette,
crepe de chine, velvet, cheviot, and in
their company are the perennial sheer
cottOns that we have always with us.
They are endlessly varied. by com
binations of materials and colors. by
new garnitures and by little original
touches I'm the management of collars,
belts. lines and trimmings.
Among tailored blOuses, crepe de
chine appears to be n favored fabric.
Some of the new models are high
necked. Narrow frills of the mate
rial make an effective finish for them,
but there are many other ways of trim
ming them. The tie-back style reap

sash ends. 1t is handsome in dark
velvet, lined with contrasting silk that
shows through cut-out slashes bound
with the same silk. Velvet warehouses;
with short peplums cut without
sleeves and worn over geOrgette I'M
lighthouses, are handsome and dressy.
They are usually decorated with silk
embroidery. GeOrgette n velvet are
chosen for the most elaborate models
while crepe de chine lends itself to
palmer but not less distinguished
styles.

In thousands of homes,
a line" is drawn at the
breakfast table. Tea or
coffee is served for
~"grown-ups" and Postum
for children. But some
parents do not discrimin-

the injurious contents of
coffee and tea, seriously
retard the development of

Consequently, instead
ofrich, satisfying Postum,
children are over stimu-

and coffee; and so may
grow up irritable and
nervous. Any doctor can
tell you that this is a
great evil and should be
corrected.

be equally serious. II
