the tailored mode is included in the
tunic model, as is witnessed by one
with a rather high neck and long,

Ears and Earrings and
Suggestions for Beauty

Ears have a distinct message to the
physiognomist. Your character, your
tendencies are revealed by the shape
and color and size of your ears. And
the beauty specialist is always con-
cerned with ears, patting heavy cream
into the skin where the ears meets the

come the first fine lines of age.
People with very long ear lobes
should never wear earrings, says a
writer in the Delineator. Earrings

Of the world type, heighten the.lure of
the Oriental type, deepen the hidden
ness of the mysterious woman, accent
the charm of the quaint one; but we

the child type, with wide eyes and
bobbed hair and with that magic quail
fty that can wipe out lines by flash Of
joy and suddenly look twenty when
you're forty, or if you're the boy type,
never wear earrings no matter what
the occasion is. It's suicide. And, of
course, never, never wear earrings on
too prominent ears.
And whatever you are, don't have
your ears pierced. The modern ear

Underthings of Black
Are Favored by Women

Black lingerie has been received al
WAYS with sense of humor and as
an extravaganza of eccentric individ-
uals. But a considerable number of
fashionable women are coming to
like undertakings of black; robes-de-
mutt, step-ins and corsets.
Of course there are no longer any
corsets in the original sense. They are
all wrap-arounds, girdles, brassieres,
or whatever. But some of the latest
models are shown LII white satin
trimmed with strips of black velvet
ribbon, and in black satin ornamented
with white lace, and there are corsets
of flesh-colored satin bound with
black.
Black corsets lined with sheer
fiesh-colored crepe, and corsets of filet
lace lined with pink are among the
most striking features Of an unusual
lingerie season.

Waist Buyers Showing

Waist buyers in the New York mar

That it's chances are exceptionally

cause it is now so widely accepted in

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Ii you have martynias In your To-
cality, either growing wild or in the
garden, you can make them into very
good pickles. says the United States
Department of Agriculture, by first
putting them in brine for about three
weeks.
Martynias grow wild and in great
abundance in the semi-arid regions Of
southwestern United States, but they
can be grown successfully in other To-
calities. The plant grows from two to
three feet high and bears large leaves
and a purplish flower. 1t may be
planted for ornamental purposes.
The seed-bearing pods are used for
picking. They grow close to the
stem and should be picked for
picking when two inches long. They
are curved in shape and covered with
a fuzzy growth which exudes a gum
my substance, irritating to the skin.
1t has been found that these fruits
respond very readily to the action of
brine. A 40 per cent brine, made by
dissolving one pound of salt In nine
pints of water, is the most satisfac-
tory strength to use for martynias.
AS the brine must be maintained at
the same strength throughout the en-
tire process of curing, and as juices
which dilute the brine are drawn out
of all products, it Is necessary to add
salt from time to time. A salinometer,
which is simple, inexpensive piece
of apparatus, Is the best means of de-
termining when the brine is of the re-
CURED strength. It's use Is recon-
mended wherever possible, especially
If any quantity of fruit Is being han
died. -
A keg or stone jar is satisfactory
for brining. Kegs must be well
washed with hot water, and soaked
overnight with fresh water, to be sure
they are watertight. Round board
covers, coated with hot paraffin are
used to keep the vegetables submerged
in the brine. Clean bricks are used as
weights. Another large round wood
cover over the top of each key is nee
essary to keep out dirt and dust.
When the martynias have been in
the brine from two to three weeks
they are sufficiently cured, and ready
to be freshened by soaking in fresh
water overnight. They may then be
picked, either in plain vinegar or In
a sweet spiced vinegar. Martynias
are especially desirable for combining
with mixed pickles.

Hose and Shoes to Match

Where the best-dressed women
gather this season the change in
hosiery styles is readily discernible.
Instead of the startling array of col
ored hose of shades contrasting with
the color of the shoe, there is seen a
decided tendency to match the hose to
the shoes in color at least, though a
lighter shade of the same color is
sometimes chosen. This desirable turn
of the mode is due to the vogue of
kid shoes which demand harmony
rather than contrast.

Kitchen Not a Wash Room,

1t is better to use the kitchen only
as place for preparing and, If neces-
sary, serving food. This is more SAN
itary and permits more compact and
convenient arrangement Of equipment,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture believes, than having it a
combination cook room, laundry, wash
room, passageway, and dining room.
Laundry, wash room, and general
storage room are sometimes combined
and used as place for men and
children coming in from out of doors
to leave work clothes and muddy boots
and rubbers, but If possible this should
be separate from the kitchen.
