Using the plain mayonnaise as a

not care for the oiD. add few chopped
olives, a tablespoonful or so of tomato
ketchup and you have good dressing
for a tuna or other fish salad. Almost
any fresh fish, with the bones and SKIN
removed. can be made into good
salad. If the flakes of fish are very
small. add Just enough salad dressing
to bind together and form into balis.
Serve one large ball or three small ones
as portion. For boiled meat tnat
REQUIRES special zest in flavoring, add
little finely grated onion to the foun-
dation mayonnaise or little sauce and
a gherkin. chopped fine. 1t is well TO
marinate the meat with French dressing
for about half an hour before serving
with either dressing.
Delicate dressings for pure fruit or
combination vegetable ana 1rult Sa!auS
are made by adding whipped cream 70

dressing. Equal portions OF whipped
cream and dressing can be used. Under
these circumstances it will probably re-

French dressings for fruit SALADS re-
ouire a little sugar added to offset the
acid of the fruit. and often 1t Is wise
TO add a little sugar to the mayonnalse
dressings mentioned when they are used
on fruit alone. Here is the recipe for a
delicious and dainty salad: Small navel
oranges, diced peaches. fresh or canned
cherries. lettuce leaves and whipped
cream dressing. Peel the oranges and
take out the bitter white portion that
extends part way down through the
center. Carefully separate the lobes
until they come to the miniature or
navel oranges at the other end.
Do not separate the lobes so tnat
they actually fall from this wee orange.
These lobes form the petals Of the yell

he'd of water crosses or lettuce leaves TO

Feminine Note in Couture.

All signs point to revival of the
feminine note In clothing and hairdress-
ing. This tendency has invaded the
realm of tailored frocks and coats, add
ing to their severe lines the embellish-
ment of innumerable tucks at all an
gles faggoting. pleats and hcmstitch-
ing inserts In decorative patterns. In
coiffures the long hair Is coming into
its own again, and the bobs that re-
main are more graceful and feminine
than in previous years.
The problem of bridging the awkward
gap between shof hair that Is being
allowed to grow and hair that Is long
enough to dress modestly is no doubt
puzzling many readers of this column
II the hair Is waved frequently with hot
irons. 1t grows slowly and remains dis
coura gingly short, especially at the front
and sides. A good way to dress this
sort of hair Is here illustrated-(A).
Part the hair rather low on the right
side and also on the left, thus dividing
out central section of hair. Brush
this obliquely forward over the forehead,
so that the ends curl up on the left
temple. Put two wide waves In the side
hair, turn the ends under, and tuck
behind the ears. Divide out the small
strand that grows In front of the ears
and let it curl forward on the cheek
Brush the back hair smoothly and twist
1t into a small knot, low, at the nape OF
the neck.
Another coiffure that takes into con-
sideration the shortness of the front
hair may be dressed, with a part from
ear to ear. The front section of the
hair may be parted in the middle or or
one side and then brushed forward
around the face (B). The back hail
may be brushed together and ther
turned up at the ends and fastened with
long clips set vertically or with several
very narrow barrettes set in the same
position to hold the short ends of the
hair in place. Some girls use the small
fiat metal curriers' for this purpose
When the front hair reaches to tnf
shoulders, which Is really the most con-
venient length for milady's tresses, the
most popular way Of dressing the coif-
fure Is to part the hair in the center al
the way down to the back Of the neck
This makes two sections of equal size
which are crossed over and pinned fiat
like bandeau across the back. A short

Gaining Weight.
NJ wants to know if women, as
general rule. gain excessively in weight
after the birth Of a baby, and II
married women who do not have chill
dren gain excessively. If so, what
causes the gain?
Very many women trace the begin
ming Of their overweight to the time Of
their pregnancy. But it is not natural.
M. II is simply due to overeating for
the needs. They think they must eat
a great deal to supply the needs for
the growth of the baby before and
after birth, and they eat a great deal
too much
The same overeating for the needs Is
the cause of overweight at any time,
NJ. Overeating may not mean that the
person IS large eater, but simply that
he or she Is getting more than Is need
ed for the physical activities, and so
the activities must be increased or the
food intake decreased.

The Treatment of Acne.

/ have stated how very important
the diet Is as a treatment for acne
(pirnples and blackhead). It Is not
infrequently found that starches and
sugars are taken to the extent that
there Is a higher content of sugar in
the blood than Is normal. and this,
with the extra activity Of the sebaceous
or oil glands of the skin during ado
lesence. furnishes the soil for the acne
bacillus to thrive on.
Briefly, then, the starches and sugars
In the diet must be cut down very low,
also the oils and fats. The diet should
consist of large amounts Of fruits and
vegetables and milk. Flesh foods but
once day.
Local Treatment-The face should
be washed with cold water and soap
several times a day, and at night with
hot water and soap. followed by the

some are benefited By a strong soap,
such as laundry soap; others do better

milk be used for cleansing. Milk isn't

He was dwarf In a sideshow. The
painted picture OF him announced his
name as Maj. Tpschoffki Of the I'm
perial Bulgraderian Brigade. No one
could pronounce the name. and 1t was
never intended anybody should. The
public always called 1t, as a regular
rule. Chopski. He was called Chops
by his fellow freaks. His boss was
Magsman. the Snowman.
This dwarf had one singular idea
in his head. It was always his Opin-
ion that he was entitled to property.
But he had no property or hope OF
property, except his house and his
saucer. The house was a fake, much
too small for him. but when he was
showing he would crawl into 1t and.
letting his feet stick out at the back
as ne stood on his knees, he would
ring a bell out of what the public
supposed was the drawing room win
dow.
Then he would take his saucer and
make a collection for himself. For
this he got his cue from the boss,
Magsman. who would say, Ladies and
gentlemen. the little man will now walk
three times round the Caravan and
retire behind the curtain
When Chops said anything impor-
tant, in private life, he mostly wound

was generally what he said the last

No one could ever figure out what
Chops did with his money. He had a
good salary, besides having his board
and whatever he took up in his coilec-
tlons. But he never had any money.
Unexpectedly enough, the mystery
came out one day. Chops was ringing
his little bell out Of his drawing room

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

We talked on the subject Of nervous
ness as the underlying cause for many
habits called bad" because OF their
effect on the child. Too much occupa-
ton with any habit prevents the child's
enjoyment and participation in more
developing interests. II the child Is a
nail bitter, determine, If possible, the
cause of his nervousness, and see II his
environment cannot be changed so as TO
end it. 1t may be necessary TO send
the child away for time. Sometimes
mothers who themselves are extremely
nervous find it impossible to be calm
and placid in their dealings with the
child, and he will improve in other sur
roundings as he never could at home.
The silly superstition about not cut
ting a child's nails may be a contribut-
ing factor in nail biting. Children are
initiative and If they see mother biting
small sisters or brothers nails. instead
of trimming them neatly with scissors.
they may try the same methods them
selves.
Children should be encouraged to
have a sense of pride in their lovely
nails. Not long ago We saw young
mother whose nails were badly bitten
despite their gloss and generally well
cared for condition. Her mother openly
deplored this tendency of Anna to bite
her nails Later In the evening / saw
Anna's mother, in moment Of absorp-
ton, put her finger in her mouth and
chew meditatively on her nail! Now
wonder where Anna learned the habit In
the first place, and whether she will not
also be surprised at the development Of
such habit in her own child?
Suggestion may work cure when
other methods fail. At bedtime when
the child is going to sleep and is in his
most easily suggestible mood, tell him
over and over that he Is going to con-
quer this nail-biting habit. If ne for
gets In the daytime. and Is truly anxious
to reform, try putting small strips OF
adhesive tape over the ends OF the nail
so that he viii be reminded instantly
when he puts his fingers in his mouth
that he should stop. All such habits be-
come unconscious and the child needs
some jog to his memory. otherwise the
nails are chewed and bitten before he
realizes what he is doing
Keeping the nails cut short. and pol
ighing them so smooth that the child Is
aroused to admiration for them, and
disllkes. TO iniure them, are two natural
methods Of breaking up the habit, but
these should be started early. It must
not be forgotten that improper nutrition
which results in soft, easily bitable nails,
must be regarded as an important fac
tor. The average nail is tough and diff
cult to bite, so that when children start
nall biting take look at their diet and
see II 1t is all that 1t should be.
