Are You Too Stout?

If you are going to wear the skinny
new dresses the shops are selling as
the proper thing for Summer you will
have to be reasonably slim. You can
not show fat arms in a sleeveless
froCk nor two or three Chins with the
new broad neckline. Above all, you
cannot wear skirts a few inches below
the knees if your legs are elephantine.
The SmarteSt frockS nowadays look as
though they We're made by wrapping
q yard of material around the figure.
You must be slim. you must even
be fiat. If you're Short-waisted you
can pretend you're not by having your
waist cut straight and putting the belt
somewhere around the hips. If you
have fun bust, which is a great
crime these days, you can probably
most successfully conceal it by wear
ing one of the new combination cor
sets and braSSiereS. IF we'll cut these
are snug around the hips, but give
plenty of room around the waist and
are snug again at the bust. They are
better than a tight brasSiere in dis
posing of unwanted fat and have the
extra advantage of giving a smooth
unbroken line to the figure, with no
ugly ridge where corset either
pushes up flesh or a brassiere pushes
5t down.
It IS impossible to give ideal meas
urements for the present smart"
figure. Formerly the perfect bust
measurement was 36, and every aver
gse.Sized woman of average weight
wore size SO tailored suits. Nowadays
81 or even 33 is the ideal, which must
mean that the average weight is about
10 pounds less. A fairly large woman,
OF course, cannot hope to have as
slender a bust measurement as "a, but
Fhe should measure from 2 to inches

Hamburg i'm Leaf Cases.

A recipe calls for lean hamburg
steak and cabbage leaves. The ingre-
dents are: One pound lean hamburg
steak, as many cabbage leaves as
there are persons to be served, one
egg, one stalk celery, one-half teaspoon
full onion juice. one-eighth teaspoonful
pepper. Season to taste.
Put the meat through the grinder,
or use ready ground hamburg. Grind
the celery fine or chop IT. Beat the
egg enough to break yolk and mix
with white. Add the seasoning given
and the onion juice to the meat and
stir, and continue to mix until we'll
blended. Parboii the cabbage leaves,
but not so long that they are tender
enough to break when handled. Re
move from the water. Put one kitchen
spoonful of the meat in the center
Fold the cabbage leaf over the meat
as If it were a parcel that you were
wrapping and tie with string to hold
neatly together. Place these meat
parcels IN a we'll buttered baking
dish. Dot each leaf with butter and
CRATE a very little cheese over the
leaves. Bake slowly for 25 minutes
Remove each parcel from the baking
dish. Snip the strings and take off.
Place the packages on a platter, gar
nish each with narrow strip of pi-
mento. Ornament the dish with lemon
cut into small lengthwise sections, and
with parsley. Serve piping hot with
or without maitre d'hotel sauce.
This can be served as a company
dish for a luncheon or for a meat
course for a dinner even where there
are guests.

"TROUBLE WITH WIVES"

A comedy of married life that scintillates with newness-a human story that treats the marital situa- ton and its hectic sequences from a laugh angle.
 That's what ono finds in "The Trouble With Wives" at the Capitol theater. It's an original screen story by Sada Cowan and Howard Higgin. Malcolm St. Clair, who made Are Parents People?" as his first Paramount picture, directed. Florence Nidor, Tom Moore, Esther Ralston and Ford Sterling are fea- tured. There's a strong cast playing in support of the principals.
 The Keith Albee vaudeville bill is headed by William A. Kennedy, the 1rishAmerican tenor and his com- pany in the paylet "The Minstrel Boy" Other acts are Manila Eros, in gymnastic offering; Prince Wong in From Shanghai to Frisco in Ten Minutes; Thomas and the Frederick Sisters in a song and dance revue; and Ray Fern and Maree in Vaudeville Diversion."
 On Thursday Zane Grey's flight of Western Stars" will be the photo- play attraction. There are con- tinuous shows daily.

"TEN COMMANDMENTS

Controversy over making Miriam the chief votary of the Golden Calf in The Ten Commandments" gives timeliness to the fact that the Yem- mite Jews working as extras in the picture found nothing in their rigid and ltra-orothdox concept of the Torah to conflict with Cecil B. De Miles conception of Israel's history. They admired Miss Estelle Taylor in the role most ferycntly and the bacchanal itself seemed to them a faithful version of the incident as expounded by their rabhis.
 The Capitol presentation. will be exactly as offered on Broadway with an augmented orchestra. original music score, and effects. There will be one big show on Sunday night and four continuous shows daily during the week with a special show for school children at 4:20 each day.
