BEAUTY CHATS

She started out bravely by refusing
sugar and cream in her tea. She kept
this up for a little while. but she al
| ways looked resentful when all her
friends said that Of course lemon
tasted much better in tea than milk
and that If we did the proper thing,
we would all drink tea, as the Chi
nese do and taste its delicate flavor
instead Of mixing tannfm with milk
and sugar. She was allowed lemon
| in her tea, but after week or so. she
began saying that, after all. half q
/, teaspoonful OF sugar was not very
fattening and she would make it up
by not having q second buttered muf-
fin. Only somehow or other she al
ways took the second buttered muffin

a reduction diet. They go without all

think about refusing food 50 much
that I am sure most OF them believe
they have actually refused 1t.
This special friend Of mine began
reducing very strenuously., She ate
almost nothing for one meal-with
the result that by the time the second

in sight, and probably late on many
more ounces that she could have re-

The latter has other things in 1t which
are a benefit to the skin, while the
former is limited. II you prefer to

not a pretty uniform at that.
AT time when high sfashion or
GAINED homespun skirts In solid color.
especially all the tan, beige and
orange shades, the shops found 1t
plaids. they claimed. Possibly now.
when the dressmakers are putting
out entire costumes OF gay plaids
the larger demand may be for solid
colors, but it is wise and we'll to
know what is the fashion. even II
costumes as the sketch shows. which
were brought into prominence in the
autumn collections in Paris. are Of
Tered as distinctly smart for the early
spring. They are not to be worn in
the street. let one hasten to say. and
tions are often frustrated by those
who buy clothes for purposes other
than that intended. When q woman
buys a plaid suit for the country
and 1t costs her a pretty penny she
may clasp the hand Of defiance and
insist upon wearing it to an after
noon tea. She has done worse things
in the name Of inclination. and she
may do this.
Last summer the dressmakers in
France made much Of the new Rodier
blanket weaves, and. although some
country. they received only half
hearted welcome. They. however.
ushered in a striking fashion, one
which was not scheduled to die in
single season. We are bound to see
much OF It from now until next No

pattern, with its squares of pink and
white, or green and white. but we
are apt to accept the more conven-
tional coloring. such as this sport
suit shows. 1t is in gray and green.
a dashing and fashionable combina-
ton this season in house decoration
as in apparel. The plain skirt is
crepe de chine, fabric Of which the
loose blouse is fashioned. Over this
blouse goes a circular cape, short
enough to show the belt. 1t also Is
lined with green. and the hat car
ries out both colors.
There is every reason to believe
that these short capes and slightly
other wraps as the cold weather
ceases. They are almost the Victor
ian shoulder capes Of other days. and
may have been inspired by the en-
thusiasm given to the Spanish shawl,
the fashion for which has not yet
departed.
The short cape has the advantage
over the coat in that 1t gives the
public a chance to see a good blouse
beneath, and it is more easily re-
| moved. 1t DOES not permit OF blouse
that is tucked in under the skirt, un-
less one is slim enough to wear a
wide and ornamental belt. The
jumper blouse is better with all cos
| tunes. but it shouldn't have a flare
at the hips. Whatever goes about
that part of the body must fit tight
and snug.

together two and a half cups of
bread -four. one teaspoon soda. two
teaspoons of cream Of tartar and half
teaspoon salt. Add the liquid to this
dry mixture and more flour if neces-
sary (the dough should be stiff
enough to roll out). Roll to one-half
inch thickness and cut in rounds
with a biscuit cutter. Bake in hot
oven for twenty minutes. They are
creamy and delicious. ... -
Caramel Cake-Cream together one
cup Of granulated sugar and half cup
Of butter. Add the yolks OF two
eggs, half cup of milk and two scant
cups Of bread flour which have been
sifted with one teaspoon Of baking
powder. Last. fold in the stihiy

Look to Your Own Diet.

Don't get into the habit of leaving
the coffee in the coffee pot. SO thai
you can have a midmorQng cup Of
warmed over coffee. II you feel the
half over the chances are that you
need real nourishment. Drink a glass
of hot milk. or II you don't like that
have some instant chocolate or cocoa
on hand so that you can make your
Aelf a cup Of chocolate when you feel
hungry or faint in the middle OF the
morning.
II you have tea at luncheon or in
the middle Of the day, don't drink
it again for supper or evening dinner.
Don't forget that you need little
fresh fruit every day.
Many women provide fresh fruit
for the rest Of their family at break
fast. but they are still busy in the
kitchen finishing breakfast prepare
tons when the fruit course is eaten.
SO they do without. II you don't eat
breakfast put it aside and eat 1t for
Don't form the habit of eating
heavy dinner left-overs for luncheon
Just to use them up when lighter
BY careful planning you may use up
left-overs for dinner or have just
enough SO that there will be no left
overs at all.
1t is a good plan to have lettuce
or other fresh green once day; If
you do not have it for dinner then
make your lunch consist of some nice
salad.
Don't expect your children to eat
what you tell them Is good for them
and then refuse to eat what 10 good
for you just because you don't care
for It. It 10 amazing how much taste
in food depends on habit. II you
eat fresh fruit every day for q week
or two you will and that you will
miss 1t when you don't have it The
same applies to lettuce and other

Don't get your family into the habit
Of thinking that 1t doesn't much
matter what you eat.

OILY Hair.


II the hair is too dry or too oily,
there is usually a great deal Of dan
druff on the scalp. In any case, the
hair will be neither pretty nor
healthy. Now. the only way to cure
dandruff is to use a great deal Of oil
on the scalp and to rub it in thor
oughly. This means that the hair
will get oily and sticky and will lie
fat against the head and generally
be such a nuisance that the woman
will be tempted to keep on washing
it to make it fluffy, and consequently
to undo all the good of her treat
ments.
The best thing to do when treating
the scalp with oil is to give the hair
weekly dry shampoo. The best
thing to use for this is either pow
dered oris root, which comes as
coarse white powder, or plain yellow
corn meal. ground as coarsely as pos
to take yellow corn meal and run it
through fine sieve. The coarse part
will remain in the sieve and the fine
powder will fall through. The coarser
the powder. the easier it is to brush
out of the hair afterwards. Some
coarse powder which they color to
match the shade of the hair and sell
at exorbitant prices. But unless you
wish to spend a lot OF money. pow
drede orris will be just as effective
and will not cost you very much.
Dust q generous amount into the
hair. then begin to brush thoroughly
until you have gotten it all through
the hair. Keep on brushing until you
brush It out. Then at the end put a
large wad Of absorbent cotton over
the bristles Of the brush and go over
the hair with that. This will take OF
most Of tho loose powder left on tho
surface Of the hair and will make
the hair glossy ~ we'll as fluffy. If
you use this dry shampoo. you can

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

DandruR.
have been advised that bay rum
is a good cure for dandruff. How
often do you think 1t would be
necessary to apply tiff. NJ
Answer.-If you will dissolve in
each ounce OF the bay rum five grains
of salicylic acid and-if your hair is
not very white. gray or blond-10
grains of resorcin, and rub a few
drops into the scalp daily. that will
be often enough. If this makes the
scalp or hair too: dry. add about five
drops Of castor oil to each ounce.
Don't Slit Babys Tongue.
Would you advise me to take my
six-year old child to doctor to have
her tongue cut loose a little? II
seems as II she talks a little tongue
tied.-(Mrs. j. J.)
Answer.-There is no such condi-
tion. The expression "tongue-tied'
| as applied to faults Of speech. is f1gu-
rative and 1t would be resrettable to
take 1t literally. To he sure. now
and then a newborn infant has a
shortened frenum which holds the
tongue down on the floor of the
mouth enough to interfere with suck
ling, and that may require cutting.
But never does any such condition
account for a defect of speech. Ton
que Sitting and gum lancing for
teething babies are two barbarities
which never should have been per
petrated in civilized community.

HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
Percolated Coffee.


fee should be made with finely
ground coffee, one cupful to six cup
fuls of boiling water. The usual
percolator contains strainer sup
ported at the top Of the coffee pot.
Water in the bottom of the pot boils
up through a central tube. percolates
through the coffee in the strainer
and drips into the lower part. whence
1t is sent boiling up again through
the tube. and 40 on until the drip is
a sufficiently strong infusion of cof-
fee. Lacking a percolator. one may
still filter coffee by placing the
grounds in a strainer and pouring
pouring OFF the filtered liquid. bring
ing it again to the boil and pouring
it through the grounds a second
time. 1t takes from FIVE to ten min
utes to make percolated or filtered
coffee. The coffee should be kept
low the boiling point to prevent the
release Of fannie acid. This Is the
ideal way to make coffee at the
breakfast table. with either an alco-
hol burner to boil the water, or an
electric connection. Freshly roasted,
made in this way is a very special
beverage. and because the grounds
are never actually boiled in the
water contains very little OF the IN
furious tannic acid. Many coffee
drinkers need to change their way
of making coffee. rather than to give
up coffee entirely.
For after dinner coffee. or cafe
noir (bIack coffee). to be served in
small coffee cups and preferaoly
without cream or sugar, two large
tablespoonfuls OF finely ground cof-
fee must be allowed for each large
cupful Of boiling water. In serving
coffee, II cream and sugar are de.
sired. one should put the cream ana
sugar into the cup first, to get the
best flavor from the cream and thor
oughly to dissolve the sugar. A
much less palatable result is obtain
ed when the sugar and cream are
added to the coffee.
