Long-Waisted, Tuck-In Blouses
Ry NARY MARSHALL.

The tuck-in blouse and senarate
s8art still seem to be the choice OF
tne woman who goes in for sports
."F sports sake. This at least holds
true OF the American woman.
The usual objection raised against
the tuck-in shirt or blouse Is the fact
that il so often produces the high
oiq-tlme waistline which simply won't
DO at alt from the present fashion
angle.
This high waistline lis not neces-
sary. providing you are SO propor,
tioned that it is possible to drop
your skirt top to a line wei, below
ehe old-fashioned waistline. 1t isn't
merely matter of being slender and
OF tipping the scales well below the
normal for your height. There are
slender girls who cannot contriye
this arrangement, and women eonsid-
eraoly overweight who can still man
age to wear the skirt and shirt waist
IN this manner. AS a rule, it is the
slender girl who can do it--because
slenderness usually means straight
ness
~ SOMETHING'S helpS to keep blouse
aud skirt in position in this way if
ehere are double draw strings at THE
back Of the blouse, placed low enough,
OF course, SO that there is a slight
blouse at the back as well as at the
front: The skirt is provided with a
oit OF elastic at the back or sides and
tnlS seems to be all that is needed to
make 1t cling to the desired low
waistline.
THESE new wrap-around skirts for
sports show quite a generous under
tapping of material this year. Some
separate skirts of this type are pro-
Fided with bits of rubber tape to hold
the two sides together, but for sports
wear II is really more satisfactory to
nave no such contrivance-but a
rather generous underlapping instead

the law for house guests. even though
a bath towel or hand towel may have
been used only once. A crumpled,
used towel may still have a fresh
space Here and there. but it should be
cast into the soiled clothes basket
when the rooms and bathrooms are
cleaned in the morning. and an en-
TREY Immaculate new outfit should
be provided. WashcIoths, too, should
be replaced with clean, fresh ones
every morning; and since these small
face cloths are inexpensive, 1t is nice
to have new ones on hand for guests,
and not to give them cloths that
have faded color stripes and slightly
frayed edges.
Beautifully marked linen is the
pride of the average housewife, and
towels OF all sizes are specially ame-
nabie to this form of decoration. The
acceptable form of marking today
seems to be simple initials, heavily
embroidered in white instead OF color,
and inclosed in a simple frame-fre-
qnently in the diamond shape, which
fits so many moncgrams. Intertwined
initials are not used.
Guest towels show a little color in
their scallops. hens, or cross-stitched
designs above the hem. but the larger
hand towels are in better taste when
the monogram is in white. Bath tow
els and wash cloths may have GRO
cheted edges and monograms in
color, although even here many wom-
en- think all white is handsomer and
more economical, since colors inva-
riably fade in the long run.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M D.
Noted Physician and Aahor

dy) In fainting or shock, for outside
OF eidttme novels these depresSaata
add to the risk of fatal outcome
The circulation needs stimuiating-:
the mind needs stimulating. AIcohoi
produces just the opposite effects
The proper dose of aromatic spirits
or ammonia is half a teaspoonfui, di-
Iuted in. about one-fourth of a gja s;s-
full Of cold water. This may be given
from the glass without raising the
patents head more than an inch or
Two, or from spoon without raising
the head at all. The dose may be
repeated every hfteen or twenty min
uteS TOR several times, IL necessary.
A simple maneuver which will often
prevent fainting or revive one from
slight fainting spell consists in
licking the body so that the thighs
press upon the abdomen. If the ssIb-
ject is sitting, he need only bend
forward as far as possible and allow
the head to hang down in front of
the knees for a few moments. This
maneuyer forces considerable blood
from the spianchnic pool, a vast net
work of vessels within the abdomen,
out into the circulation, and thus
tends to restore the pressure in the
vessels OF the head.
Aromatic spirits Of ammonia may
be given just as effectively to a.
patient who cannot swallow by pour
ing 1t on the hand or handkerchief
and holding IL close to the nose SO
that the patient will inhAle it Alb
sorbed in this way 1t is just as good
a circulatory stimulant as it is when
swallowed.
In fainting or shock the skin OF the
victim is cold and clammy and the
body temperature is generally below
the normal In applying heat by
means Of hot-water bottles, hot sand
or salt bags, hot fiatirons, or other
carriers of heat, care must be taken
not to burn the patient-try the heat
on your own skin first

My Neighbor Says:

When blankets are to be
washed for the first time, they
should be soaked overnight in
cold water and then ripsed-
This is to remove the sulphur
used in the bleaching. After
this they should be soused until
clean in q lukewarm lather
made with boiled soap and wa
ter and then rinsed well in
clear water.
Give pantry shelves two coats
of ordinary white paint and
then a third finishing coat Of
white enamel AS soon as the
enamel dries, wash it with cold
water and it will harden quick
ly. Do not cover these shelves
with paper, but leave them
ment. The enamel is easily
wiped clean with q damp cloth.
Unreasonable clothing should
be put away in perfect order,
SO that it will be ready for wear
when wanted These clothes
should be thoroughly cIeansed
and repaired. Wool garments
should be carefully brushed
and hung in the sun to destroy
eggs of moths. They may be
hung in light cotton bags or
packed in tight boxes with all
openings pasted over to protect
the contents from moths ALI
boxes should be labeled.
In paperin8 room you
should remember that large
patterns and dark colors will
make it appear smaller. A
plain or striped paper, if a light
hue, will give an impression of
increased size.
Gift braid that has become
tarnished d may be renewed by
rubbing a little alum into it
well. Leave for a few hours
and il will look like new.

Painting and Shock.
What makes peoeple faint?

WAX makes pe0eple falnt!
A sudden fall of blood pressure
from emotion, shock, hemorrhage or
illness Is the immediate cause of
faintIng. The withdrawal of the
usual supply of blood to the brain
centers makes the victim lose con-
seriousness; everything goes black or
blank. and he sinks down in g. faint.
Usually the face is pale; the breath
ing 10 shallow; the pulse is weak, and
the victim is relaxed or limp, respond
ing to questions with feeble words
or looks, If at all. 1t is q miserable
'all- gone" sensation.
Shock is the same or a similar
state induced by an injury. The psy-
sical injury may be very slight but
IL the circumstances under which the
injury occurs are calculated to in
spire terror, fear or horror the de-
gree of shock may nevertheless be
great and the victims chance of re-
covery correspondingly reduced. The
element of fear plays an important
role in shock and contributes to many
fatalities We fear many things
until we come to know something
and snakes
First aid for fainting or shock:
/. Give the victim air.
2. Loosen any constructing cloth
5. Keep the head low. Raise any
part of the body but the head.
4. Dash or sprinkle very cold
water over forehead, face Or chest.
Apply warmth or heat to feet and
under the arms
5. Rub the limbs toward the heart.

g. If the patient can swallow, ad-
minister a dose OF aromatic spirits
Of ammonia, or some hot coffee, or
some hot tea Cold water is best if
these stimulants are not at hand.

About Rice.

Rice is the national food grain of In
dia, Japan and China, tust as wheat LIS
Americas and oats are Scotland's. 1t is
own country depends largely on rice as
its staple food, and climatic reasons
govern this just as they do in the
Asiatic nations. Warmth and moisture
are absolutely necessary for the cuIti-
walton of rice.
There are two types of rice grown In
the United States, that showing long
grain and the one with short round
grains. Although 1t is generally stated
that these are equal in value, many
cooks have a strong preference for the
long narrow grains.
From the point of view of nutrition
rice should be ranked chiefly as a very
digestible form of starch or energy food
1t possesses an agreeable bland favor
that makes it particularly useful as q
basis for various combination dishes,
meat, cheese and other body building
foods being those best adapted.
In buying rice the housewife should
be careful not to Judge the food value
by the commercial grades. Highly pol
ished rice and various fancy grades
pared with the whole brown rice.
There is a popular idea that rice is a
satisfactory alternate for potatoes, but
while both Of these staple foods furnish
a considerable portion OF starch, yet
rice lacks valuable properties possessed
by the potato. For example, two i'm
portant yitAnrins present in potatoes
are absolutely lacking in rice, while
the latter also fails to provide the use
ful base-forming material which fs one
OF the. potato's most outstanding serv-
ices.
This base-for1ning portion Of the po-
tato is what renders 1t peculiarly yalu-
able as an accompaniment to acid-forIn-
ing foods. The point to remember here
Is that when rice is substituted for po-
tatoes it is not a complete substitute.
and the housewife should be careful
to serve plenty Of fruits and vegetables
at some meal during that day.
A haf-cup of rice win absorb q pint
Of milk, and when cooked in a steamer,
or even a double boiler, this combined
rice and milk dish will provide very
nourishing and digestible cereal for chill
dren or invaltds.
The southern fashion of boiling rice
is the best. Allow at least four cupfuls
Of water to each cup of rice. add a
teaspoonful of salt and cook rapidly in
an open ketue until every DIT OF water
has been absorbed. This will take about
half an hour, and each grain OF rice
should be so soft that 1t will mash
easily between the thumb and finger.
Should any water remain be sure to
save it for use in soups. This will not
happen after the housewife becomes
experienced in cooking rice according
to this method, but 1t is we'll to be on
guard about not wasting any valuable
water that may be left
Wild rice is not a true member of the
rice family. 1t grows along the banks
OF rivers and streams, and was for many
years staple food Of the Indians and
early settlers. Wild rice is similar In
composition to wheat and makes a very
palatable and nourishjng breakfast
cereal Prepared according to the In
dian manner, II Is served aS vegetable
with game and meat.

If ever there were three happy
young Bears they were the three in
the clearing in front of Farmer
Browns sugar house, greedily COB
bling UP the sugar and sirup which
Farmer Browns Boy had put for them
in three pals. Each had a pail. The
first one to finish what was in his
pail and lick it clean then dropped 1t.
and made for his brother. He was so
greedy that he wasn't satisfied with
his share. But by the time he reached
his brother the latter was licking out
his pail.
Then the two turned toward Lttlest
Bear, Attlest Bear was gobbiing away
as fast as she could At the same
time she was keeping an eye on her
brothers. She saw them start toward
her and she knew they would try
to take that pail away from her. She
knew that they were selfish enough
to do just that.
So Littlest Bear didn't wait With
the edge of the pail held fast in her
teeth she started to run. Her broth
ers started after her. Now ordinarily
