USE OF SILK AND WOOL JERSEY

PARIS. Octoberss. 1921

PARIS. October,s. 1921.
Chiffon and lace blouses are. dead
so they say. Quite dead as far as
fashion goes, but certainly not gone,
much less forgotten. SO far as women
who lead numerically are concerned.
Nothing that fashion has developed
within a generation has SO delighted
the hearts of so many women, nothing
that they can wear has filled them
with such a sense of daintiness and

ings as chiffon and georgette
blouses. 1t was a mode that was

For France has at last put over the
garments of tricot that we call jer-

This blouse may be long -sleeved
or short-sleeved. The length Of a
sleeve is stamp Of nothing nova

who wears it. Having foisted the
extremely short sleeve at last on a
not too willing America, French
women turn about and wear long

sleeves they wear them, too-when
they want to.
Not by the sleeve nor yet by the

I am often asked whether epson
salts, lemon Juice and vinegar would

Complacently he watches the growth
of his corpulency and feels the fnsid-
ious shortening of his wind-and his
life-yet rarely does he get out and
burn any Of the excess of, and still
more rarely does he cut down the al
lowance Of fuel. Not he. He isn't
built that way. When a man COM
mences to grow fat. he first feels a
little proud Of 1t. He mistakes the
rising paunch for . badge of strength
or vigor-he confuses his belly with
his chest, perhaps from faulty eye
sight. He keeps on eating to the
verge of apoplexy and sitting tight
very tight, indeed. Not until 1t Is
too late does he slowly come to the
realization that he ,g9 is a gone ,,,;tS dGe. tho

Scores and scores Of women, yes.
even married women (who. alas. no

Hints.

Hints.
There are many little things
homely or. at least. not very beau
tiful girl can do to make herself at
tractive. II only we all realized that
prettiness Is within our reach al
ways. that we need not be born
beautiful, to be so!
Here are just few little hints
about things we can all do to improve
our appearance:
We can have a clear, glowing skin.
That is moderate health and absolute
cleanliness, plus little common
sense. A dry skin needs oils to feed
it. an oily skin astringents; burned
skins need oils and bleaches; the
"city complexion" needs cleansing
with creams as well as soap and
water, and all compilations need
watchful care.
We can have thick, glossy, live hair
this again is the result of continual
care. Some inherit thin hair. but
good care will improve even this, and
the thinnest hair can be becomingly
dressed. Again it is matter Of abb
solute, sanitary cleanliness, of nour-
ishment If the scalp needs it. stimu-
lation, encouragement.
We can all have beautiful finger
nails. And we need not trust to a
professional manicurist, for the nails
are absurdly easy to manicure at
home. 1t takes a little study and a
little practice. Then it is matter
Of finding which shape of nail suits
your finger best. and whether your
nails need nourishment-some do. you
see.
Double Chin.-Persistence also ap-
plies in ridding yourself of double
chin, but use astringents or ice on
the skin to help 1t contract and
harden. so there will be no fabbiness
after the fat has been absorbed. Con-

had always seemed to have good
health until two months ago, when
he developed what the doctor called
acute Bright's disease. He seems to
be progressing very slowly. and I
feel as though I had given this doc

sisted on keeping him off his feet all
this time, and has kept him on diet
of vegetables and little salt.-O. o.
Answer-If the boy RECEIVERS in

be grateful. From what you say l

of treatment. If you imagine any

HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.

Salt.
Common salt, sodium chloride, is
one of the essential constituents Of
the body, being found in every cell.
Many fruits and vegetables contain
a little salt; but the supply in the
vegetable world does not meet the
requirements of the animal world,
and both animals and men must have
salt added to their food. Salt star
walton produces death. more slowly
surely. Excess of salt. on the other
hand, is poisonous. very quickly and
obviously in the instance Of using
salt water to allay. thirst, but just
as truly in many other cases OF per-
verted taste. The chief sources Of
our salt are sea or other salt water
and salt mines.
Salt is readily soluble in water.
When vegetables or meats are cooked
in salted water the salt solution, by
osmosis, draws out the various salts
of the vegetables or meats. and these
valuable salts are lost If the cooking
water is poured down the sink. The
food value of the cooked substance
is in any case, much reduced. On
the other hand, all good cooks main
tain that food cooked without salt
and salted afterward Is never evenly
salted throughout, and seems flavor
less. The best way seems to be to
add the salt to the cooking water
just before removing the food from
it. And most cooking waters, salt or
not, but especially when salted.
should certainly be used in soups
To prevent salt from Jumping in
damp weather. mix it with cornstarch
in the proportion Of one to six.

One OF the maisy phases of Scout
activity is shown by the following
report of Troop =. recently turned in
to the chamber of commerce. which
was read by Secretary C. b. Stafford
at the Forum luncheon last Tuesday:
Troop 4 OF the Casper Boy Scouts.
hiked to the top OF Casper mountain
last Saturday and made a close ex-
animation OF the conditions regarding
the road that goes up h mountain
south OF herr.
The Scouts found that the road
was absolutely blocked in four places
by deep snow that would absolutely
prevent the passage OF an automo-
bile or other vehicle. but does not in
terfere materially with horseback or
pedestrian travel. There was one
place in the gulch just east OF Windy
Point where a wagon had been aban-
doned in a drift last fall and this
wagon is still buried to the bed in
the snow. This wagon must be moved
before any vehicles can pass up the
road. Eg t Httrf
There were -four small earth slides
that partially blocked the road and
which viii have to be cleared away.
, 1921-05-22

and all along the road there were
numerous boulders which had become
loosened by b frost and had rolled
down into h highway
The Scouts took over the task of
clearing the road OF these rocks. and
IL IL now about clear OF all small
stones. but there are a few large
boulders that resisted the efforts Of
the boys to nov them. and which
will require h use of sledges and
drills TO break up SO that they can be
handled
The Scouts also found that a Mr..
Crockett. who is looking after the as

The suggestion was made a the
summer camp assessment OF IS per
Scout per week be made in the same
n as last year. The assessment
will cover only a small portion OF the
expense OF the camp and will allow
the Scouts to feel that they arc meet
ing the expense OF their eats during
the time they spend in the hills.
The COMMITTEES was authorized to
secure the services OF a competent
camp doctor. and II was suggested
that medical examinations and inspec-
tons be made a particular feature OF
the outing.

Of the Scouts in competing for merit

puts a heavy burden on this commit
tee. which is charged with giving e

Jewelry Sales Are Now
Running About Normal

Jewelry sales SO far this year strike
a pleasant comparison with sales re-
corded in 1916 or other normal years,
according to the consensus Of opinion
Of retailers in the downtown district.
As Ave years ago, the greater part of
the present buying is conferred on popu-
lar-priced articles. OF these, novelties
sell the best. An active demand is also
felt TOR women's imported bracelet
watches and mems high grade Ameri-
can watches.
Except for the drastic cuts made ty
a few dealers, but slight reductions in
the price of jewelry have been made.
Most retailers believe that prices are
now at the lowest. There are several
retailers who expressed the opinion
that their stocks are sufficient to tide
them over to the first of the year. Fill
ing in orders compose the greater part
of the volume turned in by statesmen
of wholesalers.
