The mind has a strong effect OF

If you do physical work all day

office during the day, you will need
physical exercise at night.
In choosing your foods. don't al
ways choose the soft ones. Hard

Caying.
If you build up your body, your

Here are seven rules that will help
to keep your health good:

CINDERELLA SALLY
: BIZ ZOE :

fshe may perk up in the excitement
Of the first night"
And SO, ten days after her arrival
and a campaign of publicity that
terrified Sally still more, 1t was an.
nounced that "the prettiest girl in
the country's country" would ap-
pear in a special number.
With an artists touch Waine made
up Sally so that she showed fresh
as a tea rose. Her pink Bingham
frock and bonnet looked as dainty
as dawn. Her straw-blond hair
shone.
AS the stage went dark and Sally
was lifted into the basket ready for
her ride over the heads of the
audience Vain. in a last effort to
galvanize her. whispered:
you've got the looks, kid. Now
Just wade in and grab their hearts"
The orchestra and a double quar-
ftet swung into the strains of "a
| Rose from an Old Fashioned Gar
den." The heavy velvet curtains
parted. A shaft of roselight framed
IN an wal the basket and its lovely
| Offering.
To Sally's dazzled eyes nothing Of
the audience was visible. But to
her imagination there Jostled for
front places the faces of a terrifying
multitude.
She felt the basket start and
smoothly ride. Automatically she
took UP her first posies and prepared
to throw them right and left to the
people below.
Then, in the forepart Of the
crowd, her imagination pictured the
face Of the hotel maid when she saw
Sally's pathetic "wash;'' and by her
side sneered the chorus girl who
had warned that Sally would do well
to watch her step"
In mad panic. Sally had the de-
fusion that their jeers were spread
ing to the faces Of the rest Of the
crowd. A sort of paralysis seized
her heart.

The rehearsals for the next few
days brought relief neither to Vain
nor Sally.
He pleaded. argued, bullied and
ccaxed. but the moment Sally was
lifted into the great flower basket
and started on her floating ride into
the huge theatre she felt the panic
of one suddenly torn from shadows
and thrust into glazing light.
Even with the theatre empty she
felt the eyes of the chorus con-
temptuously upon her and of the
principals watching critically.
Her clash with Vain had In some
unaccountable may made him less
harsh with her, but it was more the
tolerance of indifference than be-
cause he had faith in her ability.
Sally would call for strength from
the very depths Of her soul-and the
courage she succeeded in summon
ing made her look like a Christian
martyr going to her fiery ordeal.
Taken with the gesture of throwing
but posies of old fashioned flowers
to a happy populace, the effect was
absurd, grotesque.
Vain, in despair, was ready to
abandon the number when the
genius that made Golden the leading
producer of his kind prompted him
to try 1t out anyway.
you never can tell he muttered
to Vain. shes damn pretty, and

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
APPLE FT,AN
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
(Of Columbia University

(Of Columbia University
The following is q good recipe for
using apples, but where fruit may
be used. When canned fruit is used
the paste is always baked first aud
then the fruit Is put in and a glaze
Is made with the strip and poured
over the fruit.
Line a slightly buttered deep pie
plate with a good pie paste. Press
edges well onto edge Of plate and
trim evenly.
Pare, core and cut in eighths
eight well-1avored apples. Cover
the bottom Of the lined pie plate
with any kind of marmalade.
Thinly slice the apples over this
and sprinkle with one-half cup
sugar mixed with one teaspoon Gin
namon.
Bake in oven 80 minutes. Remove
and pour over the apples two table,
spoons melted currant Jelly.
Another Method
Line the pie plate as before with
the paste. Cut apples in eighths and
cook half Of them in a strip made
with M cup of sugar and one
fourth cup water, boiled one min
ute.
Add two drops of vanilla extract.
Cook the remaining half of apples
In cranberry juice sweetened to
taste. The cranberries will give a
beautiful red color to the apples, as
well rs a good flavor.
Fill the plate which is lined with
paste with paper. and bake. Re-
move paper. and spread the paste
with marmalade.
Then arrange the pieces Of apple
In circles, alternating red and white.
Boil the cranberry Juice and sugar
until it will jelly and pour over the
apples.

Two clever women are taking
every day the stitch in time that
saves nine.
And in doing so they are lending
aid and comfort to the tired busi-
ness woman, taking the burrows
from the brow of the worried
bachelor, saving the temper of
many a busy housewife and-per-
haps, once in a while, actually saw
ing a home from being wrecked!
Incidentally, they're building up
a prosperous business and the basis
OF a substantial fortune for them
selves.
The women are Mrs. Charles c..
Ransom and Miss Lillian Anderson.
They're partners in New York's
newest business venture-a mending
shop.
But let them tell you about it
themselves
What time for mending has a
wcman who works in an office-or
why should she be obliged to mend
after a hard days work? She's en-
titled to her evenings" says Miss
Anderson.
"Or who is there to look after the
shirts and socks of the man who
lives in a hotel or boarding house?"
puts in Mrs. Ransom.
Housewives Aided Too

tinued, expecting to cater largely
to professional people, but a large
part of our trade is coming in from
housewives themselves.

Only yesterday a woman franti-
cally besought our aid. Her hus-
band would need his evening suit on

find it as he had put it away.
"She begged US to look. We did.
The suit had at least fifty moth
holes in It.
Its a suit, and he'll never
forgive me- the woman said.
we mended it as carefully as we
could, sent it to a tailor and mad it
nicely pressed, and the husband
went to his social affair quite un-
conscious of the true state of his
suit.
"One wife brings us all her mend
ing to do, then proudly displays 1t
to her husband as her own work.
mires her economy SO much he al
ways rewards her with a check"
Can't Get Help
Miss Anderson says the greatest
difficulty has rot been to find mend
ing to do but to find members to do
it. She employs a large staff of
women, to whom she assigns the
work. 1t is done under her super
vision.
Fine mending never has been an
art in America" Miss Anderson
says I'VE frequently have to send
to Holland or France for the needles
and yarns we need.
There's a human as well as a
practical side to h business that
makes it decidedly fascinating"
AS a commercial proposition, too,
she recommends it to women who
feel the urge for a shop.

and it may be of various kinds. The
bottom is frequently banded, occa-
sionally flares and is practically al
ways hip length. Its sleeves are
bell-shaped and three-quarter
length. The neck is usually "
shaped.
Different authorities differ about
the details of this jacquette, how
ever, and the only point on which
they really agree is that it must be
severely tailored with not a frill to
break its smart austerity.
Navy blue and the new browns
