White-Fm Trimming Takes Lead
ny ANNE R1TrENHoUsE.

1T one We're to write, an account
of the way in which dressmakers
have trimmed frocks for the winter
1o23-1924 in two words, those two
words would have to be white fur.
1t all began quite early in the sea-
son--when the little black velvet
frock trimmed with white ermine or
white rabbit began making itself
distinctly noticeable. 1t had its orr
gin in Paris, but the idea was soon.
adopted by American dressmakers,
who found that the white fur trim
med black frock pleased the taste of
the American woman as we'll as 1t
had the French. Then there were
little black velvet coats trimmed with
rather diminutiye white fur collars,
and sometimes cuffs, too, but these
did not appeal in America as often
as they did in Paris.
But the white fur trimming was
soon translated from the black vel
vet frock to the frock of other
colors-from velvet to other fabrics.
And the result pleased.
The fur-trimmed sport frock has
blossomed out as one of the most
agreeable of midwinter modes. 1t
IS and will be worn where winter
winds blow strong and cold as well
as in the southland, where the white
iur VIII be used to trim cloth and
emitted materials of light weight.
No fine points of distinction are
drawn between ermine and rabbit
the French lapin-when it comes to
this white fur trimming. White balls
OF fur, which are used as pendants
from the pockets, are really smarter
nf fJI Ax,s~~
Not the least important detail of
this frock is the white chiffon hand
kerchief which floats from the pocket.
In days to come when this fad for
decorative handkerchiefs has become
ancient history we may be amused
to think that we ever could have
thought the device clever. For, of
course, such handkerchiefs are purely
ornamental.

alike to me. But it was being taken
out of the shed. and I remembered
that you had told me that the great
man-bird which brought you down
here to the Sunny South had been
shut up in a shed. I thought at once
that this might be the one. Were
there any other man birds around?"
= II don't know" replied Danny mis-
erably. II don't believe SO, but
this man-bird this morning, Hum

Before Hummer could reply Merry
Little Breeze brought to him a sound
that Danny knew only too we'll. 1t
was the noise that great man-bird
fore starting to fly. It was not loud
now, for it was some distance away.
Danny didn't even wait to say good
bye to Hummer He started straight
in the direction Of that sound. For
the first time since Nanny had parted
from him Danny knew in what direc-
ton that great man-bird lay.
Don't fly away without me. Please
don't fly away without me-" Danny
kept saying over and over under his
~DTeatn, just as IL tHe great man DlTQ
could. hear him. And he ran and ran
and ran and ran in the direction from
which that noise was coming.
But after while that noise stop

kept right on. Only now and then did
he stop, and this was merely to get
his breath and rest. So it was that
late that afternoon he came to the
shed in which that man-bird was
kept Perhaps you can guess how
anxiously he waited for a chance to
slip into that shed unseen. Would
the great man-bird be there.
It was. 1t had only been wheeled
out to try the engine. 1t had not been
flying at ali. Then it had been
wheeled back and locked up for the
night. Danny scrambled up into 1t.

HEALTH HINTS
By Bernarr MacFadden.

There is one structure Of the body
that may be regarded as the founda-
tion for everything else. 1t has more
to do than any other with determin-
ing ones state of health and ones
physical age.
The Importance of the spine in its
relation to the general makeup OF
an individual has been recognized
Iforefathers referred to the value of
backbone" speaking in moral and
psychological sense, they expressed
their recognition of the supreme i'm
portance of the spinal column. The
same idea Is brought home to us today
by a clever humorist and cartoon1st,
some Of whose work appears under
the significant title Are You One of
These Spineless Creatures? Speak
ing in either the moral or physical
sense, these expressions mean simply
that without backbone one does not
amount to much.
The spine is the dominating and
central structure of the body. 1t is
the supporting structure. 1t gives
stability, and at the same time fiex-
ibility, to the entire body. From the
purely mechanical standpoint it is a
marvel of adaptability.
Do you realize that in practically
every effort you make the spine is
iufOltc0. Oo YOU dpPTeCldtc LIE ittCI
that In lifting a piano or carrying a
trunk 1t Is this marvelously strong,
yet exquisitely constructed and flex-
ible spinal column that bears the
brunt of the burden?
When you have seen the Arabian
acrobat hold on his shoulders, in
pyramid style, the entire troupe of
his fellow acrobats, or when you have
seen the strong man of the circus
lift horse clear of the ground, you
have had a graphic illustration of
the strength possibilities of the spine.
And yet this degree of strength is,
as we have seen, combined with
fiexibility which is nothing short of
marvellous.
But what has the spine TO do with
youth and with age? Simply this:
When your spine becomes nId you
become old. So long as you can keep
your spine young you may remain
young. AS we advance in years the
spine naturally tends to become>bent
and stiffened. 1t does not matter
how early or late in life this conds-
ton Sdevelops, but as soon as the
spine has taken on these signs of age
you may know that you are old.
Your problem. therefore, should be
to keep the spine strong and straight
and flexible.

On "Keeping Stocked Up"

1t is a matter of economy and
efficiency to take advantage Of sea-
sonal sales. Reliable stores offer
these sales at stated times to avoid
carrying over a heavy stock to the
next season. Some of these are the
regular JANUARY white sales" the
February furniture sales and the
usual offering of suits and dresses
at the end of the season.
The housewife who looks ahead
and purchases her years supply OF
household linen and muslin at this
time is applying good business
methods to her Housekeeping. Thrift
is as much a matter of spending as
it is of saving.
True economy isn't in going with
out, always q morale-destroying
process-or in buying fewer or
cheaper things than we ought: True
economy lies in the directions of
buying the right clothes and sup
plies at the right time. When we
buy so as to obtain full value for
every cent expended, when we figure
out our expenses in relation to our
income and hold to that schedule,
when we buy with foresighted pro-
vision for the future-that is thrift.
1t is not thrift to wait until the
family supply or houSen0lQ linen,
underwear and the like is worn thin
and the supply run down until
everything has to be replaced at
once.
No good business man allows his
stock to run completely out, but
keeps systematic account Of 1t and
regularly replaces it so that an even
level of supply may be always on
hand In the same way must the
housekeper-buyer plan her business.
She should know just what supplies
need to be replaced regularly, and
allow for them in her budget.
To wait until everything has gone
through" before getting new, and
then have to buy in unusual guam
titles, makes too great a strain on
the budget. 1t costs much less to
get few things as the months go
by than it does to make good the
neglect of several years.
1T is easier to find SIS a year than
$685." said one shopper who has
learned the value of foresight In her
buying. And 1t is easy. once the
habit Is acquired, to foresee the wear
and tear on supplies. and to replen-
ish at the psychological time. The
woman who fails to do this no doubt
thinks she is economizing.. but she
