fine CLOTHES
BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

Two young women dressed IN Ilne
taste were seated in the park the
other day talking in rasping, lod
tones so that they could be heard at
considerable distance all around
them.
They were arguing about some
thing and their locks certainly de-
MED their boisterous actions. These
young women were what one might
call well groomed." Their nails
were mancured, their hair neatly
done and their decorum of dress could
only be characterized as modest and
pleasing-and yet their manner was
the opposite.
1t would have been far better had
these young women cultivated them
selves inwardly rather than outward
ly. To speak low might have been
much better than highly polished fin
ger nails. To develop their brains to
appreciate lovely books might have
been more to their advantage than
their pretty coiffured hair.
From their talk it was plainly evil
dent that they had little or no cul-
ture in their makeup. although they
wanted to make you believe by their
appearance that they had.
They talked about the most insane
and prosaic things and almost came
to blows at one part of their discus
sion about some trivial matter. These
young women would have been very
much surprised had some one sud-
IDENTIFY told them that they needed
considerable education along various
| lines to make them what they tried
to appear.
On the other hand. 1 have seen
young women with the plainest kind
of clothes-clothes that they have
made themselves-in humble sur
roundings, who have developed the
most delightful characters.
| These young women are good lis
teners, appreciative of other peoples
opinions and do not trust them
selves forward to be seen, and that
| is why they are really noticed. In the
twentieth century it is evident that
fine feathers do not make fine
only flutter for . little while and are
gone. They cannot alight On some
thing real because it isn't in them.
Appearances gor for a whole lot
Every girl should look as attractive
as her means will allow, but the mod
est young woman with modest miep
and modest character will proceed
much better in the scheme of life
than she who is all veneer.
Young women who wish to be bet
ter and bigger in every way must
look to the inner schrine of them
selves rather than to their outer
selves. All culture comes from with
in and no amount of wearing apparel
and fashion will hide girl from
what she really is for any length of
time. In common parlance, "a leopard
will show his spots"
She who reaches for higher things
in life will always find way to
them To look long at beautiful pic
lures, to hear good music. to com
| mune with nature, to read good
books, to join with companions who
are doing worth while work with
serious intent-these are the things
that make for developme mt and char
acter building. 1t is easy enough to
acquire dress and it We're far better
to spend some time at this business
of refining your real self rather than
trying to show that you are refined.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
BY DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

A Constant Reader want so
much to help you remove the dis
figuring brown spots. Remember
you can not do this in a day or
week. Try the following combina-
ton; Rose water, ounces; glycer-
inc, one-half ounce; bitter almond
water. tincture of benzoin, of each
2 12 drains; borax. 1-2 drains. APP
ply night and morning.
Miss Ethel B.-The following is
very good cleansing cream: Oil of
sweet almonds. ounces; white wax
l ounce; white vaseline, | ounce;
perfume to suit. Clean your skin
thoroughly with almond meal occa-
sionally. This will also keep it
softer. and it is we'll to change the
line of treatment now and then. If
soaps are injurious to the texture
of your skin, then | would avoid
them and use only cleansing cream
In warm weather You can use a
cleansing lotion: Borax. / ounce;
glycerine, 4 ounces; cologne water
alcohol, 20 ounces. Use night and
morning with a soft cloth.
H. S.-Blushing is nervous habit;
you are no doubt a little self-con-
scious. Control your thoughts.
School yourself not to think about
yourself or your appearance when
in the company of strangers and you
will be able to overcome the habit
Try the following lotion on your
skin: Sulphur precipiate. dram;
spirits of camphor, l dram; glycerine,
l dram; rose water. 4 ounces. Mop
this lotion on with absorbent cotton
after bathing the face.
Anna N. Yes, one can drink too
much water and become waterlogged.
You should drink about six i:'aSsfuls
of cool water daily. Your blood is
overheated, and perhaps you have an
internal fever, thus causing your lips
to be dry and cracked. In the drink
ing water squeeze a little lemon juice
each time you take drink. so con-
sumo one or two lemons daily. This
will help to cool your blood. Cream
of tartar and sulphur ablets are very
good indeed for this condition. APP
ply cold cream to the lips upon re-
firing.

APPETIZING SALADS

Salads contribute much essential
substances to the system that they
should be included in one meal
every day and twice a day would not
be too often.
The character of salad should re-
ceive consideration and the selection
be dependent upon the rest of the
meal. For a hearty dinner serve
a light salad with French dressing
Any of the green leaf salads are
good for dinner. so are those made
of asparagus. tomatoes, cucumbers,
beats or cabbage. If a light, cold
meat is served the salad may be
more substantial and here the vege-
table salads with Il cooked or may
onnaise dressing are suitable.
For luncheon or supper the salad
often constitutes the main dish and
here salads of fish, eggs, vegetables,
meat or cheese are all good. Fruit
and nut salads should be served as
a separate course as these do not
combine well with meat. Sweet sal
ads with rich dressing are often
served with crackers in place of des-
Sert

SALMON SALAD

No matter how simple salad may
be. it should appeal to the eye as
well as to the taste. Take, for in
stance, a salmon salad. How often
this appears with just a spoonful of
fish on lettuce leaves and the dress
ing is served separately. No wonder
it is so often refused, but if little
diced celery is added TO the flaked
fish and this mixed with a French
dressing, then when ready to serve
it is neatly arranged on a bed of let
tuce and either a cooked or mayon-
naise dressing poured over it and
slices or dices of eggs an demon
slices or dices of eggs and lemon
ance will at once appeal to the APP
petite and it will be eaten with
relish.

CONVENIENT CLOTHES HORSE

When you are p1nched Tor wall
space and cannot spare the room for
a regulation clothes horse il your
kitchenette. the following substitute
will serve admirably. Buy All ordi-
nary bath towel rack in the live and
ten cent store. Nail this under a
wooden shelf in your kitchenette
Euuip rack with plenty of triangular
wire clothes hangers. Your flat wash
can be folded over the horizontal bar
of the hanger, and dresses and
blouses can be slipped on the COM
plete hanger until they are ready to
be put away.

To Serve Mushrooms

In selecting fresh mushrooms be
sure they are young and have red
gills. Cut off the stalk which grows
underground, wash the mushroom
and remove the skin from the top.
They may be stewed, broiled or fried
To stew them add a little sailed
water and when tender add butter
blended with Drowned flour To
serve with steak or chops peel them.
then dip into melted butter and broil.
Arrange them around the meat. To
fry cut them into large pieces and
lightly fry in butter. Serve on
rounds of beef

The Jacqu@tt@ Blouse

Since American women began to
show a preference for the lines
of the Russian blouse, we have
found it offered in many varia-
tons. 1t first enjoyed a tunic
vogue. Then it began to be
shortened into heightened
blouse, which ultimately became
banded at it's lower extremity.
Now we have the summer edition
of the jacquette blouse. whose
popularity began last season. Its
newest lines and materials are
pictured today.

IN NEW YORK SHOPS

Envelope handbags form large
proportion of the displays now seen
in the shops. They come in all sizes
from those only five inches long to
the large ones. all of fourteen inches
long, that are carried so conven
iently tucked under the arm At the
counters they say these large bags
are in great demand and envelope
shapes in general are popular quite
as much so as the cute little pouch
bags that came in early in the season.
Those narrow straight wells we
call 'nosegay" wells are meeting with
ready acceptance. In one shop
they say these are among their best
sellers of made wells The semi cir
cular veil is also a faVorite. Both
types come in the various modish
colorings as they are really a part
of the hat and considered MILL
merry accessory
As furs are being laid aside. scarfs
are coming to the fore. The silk
knitted scarf is still a favorite and
the striped effects are being selected
to wear with the suit. These are
usually tied in knot close to the
throat. Then there are servicea BILE
camel's hair scarfs, very fine and
soft, and just the thing to take the
place of the fur neckpiece, Wooden
scarfs In bright plaids or horizontal
stripes in pastel colors are promi-
nent. and then there are soft. lacy
scarfs in gay colors that are very
dressy.
The English cloth Jackets, severe
ly tailored along very smart lines,
are among the new sports wear Of
ferings. They are original in cut and
come in tan, scarlet and green-a
very natty jacket to wear with the
pleated skirts.
Gray and lipstick red is a favorite
combination this summer charm
ing effect is produced by a gray
costume worn with red shoes, belt,
choker necklace and hat.
Accordion pleated skirts of crepe
de chine have three rows of ribbon
in different tones of the same shade
at the hem. An orchid skirt has rib
bon shading from lavender to pur-
pie. A flesh colored skirt has three
shades of pink ribbon.

The jacquette blouse, which is in
the limelight just now, Is not really
new. Its charm was known In the
eighties. And It's general scheme was
borrowed from an antique Greek
mode and adapted to the slender fig
ure of modern youth.
All-over embroidery Is the latest
dictate of fashion in this respect. The
fine tracery of Japan Is visible on
the sheer materials of the summer
quette shown in the large illustration
today. This dainty model is built Of
soft crepe, Its sombre coloring
splashed with garlands of embroidered
flowers. To maintain the Japanese
atmosphere and to complete the pic
ture, one carries an Oriental parasol.
Jacquettes may be as fancy as one
desires, they may be quite simple
in line. They must, however, be
lavishly trimmed with design If they
would reach the pinnacle of the
mode. Another model appropriate
for dress wear Is the pleated geor-
gette frock, which has a loose box
jacquette to complete the silhouette.
The sheer material is used for tho
frock and jacquette alike. Yet there
is variety in the design which char
acterizes the jacquette material and
bands the skirt at the hem, girdle
and neckline.
A clever variation is offered in the
costume of printed silk, which takes
the plain material for Its hem, cuffs
and girdle. The style Is excellent for
afternoon wear and Is considered
semi-formal mode for town.

MEAT SALAD

Meat salad should never be served
with a dinner that includes meat. 1t
makes a substantial main dish. es-
pecially on a hot day. Left over veal
or beef makes a good salad. Cut lean
pieces of the meat into dice and
serve with French dressing to which
has been added one-half teaspoon
mustard. two teaspoonfuls Worces-
tershire sauce and one-half tea
spoon onion sauce. Serve on lettuce
leaves or a bed of cress.
