Win Comes to Call
80 a-ED

As / look back l marvel more and
more at the happiness of those first
days in Wellsville. Part of 1t was
the sweetness and freshness and
plainness of my little house. Part
of it was the fact that for once in
my life l was quiet and at peace. 1,

the village had a party it went into

II don't know which either" I an

Win looked surprised.
Now why do you want to fill your

growing longer. Connie, you don't
look so much like a small boy.

How To Keep
Yourself Well
Cold Baths

Cold Baths
Do you advise taking a cold bath
every morning? Is it any harm to
take a bath in warm water during
the m~enstruation period.
In the matter of cold bathing,
every woman must be a law unto
herself. If you are a strong, robust
individual and react well to the
stimulus of a cold plunge, coming
from tho bath with a glow and a
sense of wel-being, a daily cold bath
will probably have a beneficial, tonic
effect.
On the other hand, If you are thin
and do not react well, if your lips
are blue and you find yourself shiv-
ering and cold, a daily cold plunge
would o suit you. In the latter
case l would advise a warm or tepid
bath. followed by sponging with cool
or cold water. The cold Sponging
should be done rapidly. followed by
a brisk rub down with a Turkish
towel.
L do not advise a tub bath during
menstruation, but warm ~sponging is
desirable. But wen here there are
many women who find warm tub
baths at this time a great comfort.
Heart Trouble
VI SpNtil -OAN ~ 49, - fS's
bad leaking heart, and medical men
whom L have consulted advised that
nothing can be done medically for
him. Have tried osteopathy treat
ments without any apparent results.
His heart trouble is the result of
after-effects of influenza, or due to
extra strong medicine given him
during the time he was sick with
pneumonia. He is very active and
enjoys the best of health.
1 agree with the medical men you
have consulted that probably medi-
cal treatment at this time is not
required. A leaking heart does not
usually require such treatment I'M
less compensation fails. hat is. when
the heart begins to flag in its work
of perfectly adjusting the circula-
ton.
Your efforts should be directed
towards keeping the boy up to the
highest point Of health, and, what
is very important, guarding him
most carefully against infectious
diseases. Keep his teeth in perfect
condition, and watch his tonsils.

beware OF EVEN
BALANCE OF MATERIAL

When you invade the shops with
a new coat, suit or gown in mind,
beware of the even balance of ma
terial!
For therein, says Miss Evelyn
Hansen, of Chicago Art Institute, is
the greatest fault of the American
woman so far as her dress is con-
cerned.
This is especially true since the
advent of the short skirt and the
long loose blouse.
An absolutely even balance of
material will completely destroy the
natural line of the figure.
A dress heavy with self color
fringe is equally bad for the slender
figure, the many down" lines en-
phasize the slimness and increase
: the effect of height.
In the frock with the black taft
yfeta bottom and the henna crepe de
chine top is the correct balance of
line, color and material, according to
Miss Hansen. The dark collar and
wide loose dark sash over the long
blouse line gives the necessary ac-
cent and breaks the line in the cor
rect proportion.
AS for color, Miss Hansen warns
the gray-haired woman of the dan
ger in blue.
Blue" says she, "heightens the
sallow effect. Blue is a color, espe-
cially in its lighter tones, which
should be worn only by youth when
there is much warm color in face
and hair.
So far as color is concerned, all
women, says Miss Hansen, belong in
one of three classes-the tan, pink
or Bulgarian type. The tan type of
woman should dress in her W col
ors, soft tans, creams and browns.

THE LOVE
By MARION RUBINCAM

among the men l had met. And
when L told him that l meant it rs
high praise, for many of the men |
met had been trained to dance well
before they had been trained to have
a sensible idea on any subject at all.
That was a short evening too. My
party went home early. But before
they went I had promised to teach
Ted and Margery and some Of the
others the new steps.
"We don't get them here unit
they've stopped dancing them every
other place." Ella said, as she tried
a new step l had been doing with
Winthrop.
So a dancing class was formed
that evening, to meet at my place
every Wednesday evening.
This evening L sent Mrs. Taylor
home In my car with Winthrop to
drive her.
you're too tired to walk" I told
her, land Winthrop drives very well
now. You need lot worry about
him."
I'm bring the car back and put
it away. You need not wait up
Win said as he left.
But l was sitting up when he came
back with the machine. The last
of my guests had just gone, and !
slipped a coat on and went out to
the hammock, wanting to be quiet a
few moments and enjoy the lovely
freshness of the night before I wen.
~indoors.A
Winthrop drove the car into the
garage attached to my little houseA
fixed 1t and locked the garage. To
return home he had to walk around
the corner of my little property. as
my house was on the corner He
had to pass it's side, then turn left
and pass its front. Instead of going
along the pavement, he crossed the
lawn.
There was nothing surprising in
this--it was a shortcut. But as he
crossed, he turned and looked up at
the windows of my room, and stood
d moment there, quite quiet. My
room of course vas dark and the
windows were open. l was in the
shadows of the trees so he could
not see me, but he was outlined
against the light-Parker was still
up and her room had a lamp burn
ing.
Win turned away towards the
street. l called his name softly.

Editorials For
Women Folks

Let me see-the ~six-yea~old days.
they're rather hazy things and there
is oh, so much to be pushed aside
traceable. Life becomes cluttered
with such a number of things as the
years pile up.
But back in those ~six-year-old
days wasn't it Susie who gave a party
and almost before the festivities
were over you rushed home to show
mother the trophies of the affair?
or course! For half of the party
the average child, is showing mother
the favors after the whole thing is
over.
SO if Kathleen is celebrating any
think from her sixth to her tenth
birthday. one of the things which will
make her party stand out will be the
things which guests can take home.
There are inexpensive ways OF MAX
ing the most of that childish trait.
1t is wise to make it a rule with
children's parties to never invite
more than ~ children for little
folk, to enjoy themselves, need per-
Sonal attention.
Invitations should be worded in
such an informal way that the guests
will come in checked and dotted
dimity, organdie and linen. instead
of silks and ribbons, SO there can be
real fun in the event.
When they arrive. provide each
guest with a small basket. These
can be inexpensive splint baskets or
~pasteboard frames covered with
white crepe paper with a handle
made Of loosely braided picture wire
wound with white crepe paper. At
one side Of the handle put a rosette
of narrow scarlet ribbon with ends
Of varying lengths. This then, is the
receptacle for the trophies!
AS for games-there are hours OF
amusement in white clay pipes!
Have one pipe for each guest.
There should be a small red bow on
each one and a little soap around
the inside rim. Have a bow for
each gusst-these may be purchased
for a small amount, and used again
and again for various purposes. Fill
the bowls with a solution made by
boiling shaved white soap in water
and adding for each pint of water
a tablespoon of glycerine. Then let
the children amuse themselves blow
ing bubbles. The pipes of course,
go into their trophy baskets.
After the bubbles. give the lit
tie folk a few minutes to frolic
without any direction, and then
take them indoors to where you
have suspended in a doorway at the
ends of red baby ribbons or cords,
a gift for each child. These should
be something in the way of funny
little toys. purchased for a trife
and wrapped in tissue paper. Blind
fold the children one at a time and
let them walk to the gifts, select
theirs. and take it as the cord is cut
by some older person.
After the fun with their gifts it
will be time to eat. The only
ornament on your table should
be the white iced cake with
simple-sandwichas of bread and
butter with a lettuce leaf dressing
and thinly sprinkled with nuts. meat
loaf, creamed potatoes and milk,
with the birthday cake and loved
ice cream for dessert.
The red and white mother goose
place cards at each cover and
little red paper caps they'll put
on when the meal begins are also to
go into their baskets.
And the party is over. with the
fun lasting all through the telling
