shorter should avoid the long waist line in garments. Either have no waistline or else the normal or slightly raised line. The deep berthes on frocks, 50 popular now, tend to diminish the height.
 Avoid hats that are trimmed with "stickupsg if you wish to lessen your height, as ''stick-ups' add inches by the mile, so to speak. Hats with brin, no matter how narrow 1t may be, have . tendency to shorten the figure.
 Our small friend who wishes to be tall and stately may wear all sorts of "gtick-ups." She may be joyfully sure she will appear taller
 If you are short.waisted. making the upper part of your body appear too short for the lower part discard waist lines altogether, or affect the long ones. If the opposite is the case-if the upper part of the body appears too long for the lover wear no waist line. or a slightly raised one.
 One of the reasons the straight slip dress is so popular is that. having no waist line. itis becoming to all.
 Something else
 I've so often wondered why thei woman, twenty to fifty pounds over weight, nine times out of ten ae- lects a flamboyant, checke.itpattern material with which. to bAleck her figure. The checks make her appear at least another twenty or thirty pounds heavier. Striped material with the stripes running the length of the gown will, to all appearances. take off at least twenty pounds. The miss who is too thin will do well to select checked, or plaid materials for her frocks. # she likes striped materials she should have the stripes run across the dress.
 Many women in an attempt to gain height wear extremely high heeled slippers. This is a sorry mistake as too high heels throw the body out of. line,. giving 1t an awkward appearance as well as seriously injuring the health of the feet and body.
 The correct carriage of the body, as l described several weeks ago, will do much to make ont appear taller. However, tall girls, do not take this to mean you should slump along to appear shorter. By doing this you give a loose, dangling ap- pearance to your body. It makes the observer wonder just when you are going to collapse.
 Study your figure carefully and honestly. Then make the necessary Improvements by selecting gowns that will hide your defects. Do not be sad when you discover you have defects!
 Our most rayishing beauties are usually the result of a painstaking adherence to those things the in- dividuals have found they needed most to help nature in her precari- ous development of the human races

 Preston glanced at the station clock and saw that his watch had run fast.

 "I'll do just that" Kitty agreed nervously. "Id intended writing her lengthy letter on board the train. But since you've suggested it,"
 She caught up the pen and drew out sheet of the station paper preparatory to scribbling the few lines which would temporarily re. lieve her mother of anxiety. Pres ton moved restlessly about the cor ridor. glancing back innumerable times to see if Kitty was through. A newsboy passed him, proffering a paper. Preston Tipped the lad coin and opened the sheet of glar- ing headlines. His eyes wandered over the page for an instant. Then, suddenly. his face blanched.

 Kitty sprung to her feet and caught him by the arm. From his trembling hand she snatched the paper and her eyes dropped to the column he had been reading.

Household Hints

A LIGHT solution of carbolic "A acid and water makes an ex- cellent germicide for killing flies. The solution should, be sprayed about corners where flies con gregate.
 For efficient dusting, use a cloth that has been set in a tin can in which little cedar oil has been placed. The small quantity of oil will penetrate the cloth and make dusting easier.
 To launder crochet ties, stretch them on two sticks and work them through the water. Rinse and dry on the frame and the crochet or knitted tie will not lose its form.
 An iodine stain can be removed by rubbing the spot with baking soda.
 Keep sugar in dry place and 1t will not cling"

Around the House

NLAzED chintz is made up into - very attractive lamp shades. It is splendid for service as 1t sheds dust.
 Mason jars or bottles which show water soil at the bottom can be cleansed by filling one-third full with pebbles or cracked shells and a little water, and shaking thor oughly.
 Window draperies that show an accumulation of dust can be freshened and cleansed by hanging in a windy spot. Much of the soil will be blown from the fabric. A direless cooker is boon to the business woman. Meals can be set in them in the morning and served hot and sayory in the evening.
 SOiled window shades can be re- newed by painting with a light cold water paint.
 Hooked rugs for the bedroom are serviceable and pretty. They can be laundered when soiled.
