AND NOW-LINGERIE ENSEMBLES!

thought out Of date II one or
more Of these ensembles are not

who can deny their practical
bility. There are times when
one hops out of bed when a light
wrap is sufficient. Or, perhaps,
in the performing of those mys-
ferrous beauty rites which most
women love to perform just be-
fore they retire, then it is that
the new throw" as it is called is
a boon.
It is, in fact, a negligee
jacket, if one may be per-
mitted, and is made Of the same
material as the gown. Thus, as
shown in the picture, a blue
georgette gown trimmed with
ecru Alencon lace, has the
matching throw. The gowns also
show the influence Of the uneven
hemline.
The chemise step-in is of the
same material, and shows the in
huence of the side trim now so
popular. For but one side Of
the chemise shows the lace and
tucked insert, the other being
perfectly plain.
Lingerie is as diversified as
to style as are outer garments
these days, and 20 lovely that
it is hard to resist the tempta-
ton to invest more than the
budget allows. But at least one
of these ensembles should be in
cluded in the wardrobe.

powder or evaporated milk.
This preparation is made from fresh cows
milk. 1t contains all of the normal ingredients
Of milk, except the water. This preparation is
the result Of passing the liquid milk over revolv-
ing cylinders, heated to a high temperature. The
heat is sufficient to dry up the water and to leave
the solid elements. There is another process by
which the milk Is sprayed into a hot cylinder.
But the result is practically the same.
Of course, i believe in the use of the prepared
fresh fluid milk. In my opinion, this possesses
intangible qualities which make it preferable.

III AVING recently published in this column
a list of foods and their calorie value, it
has since occurred to me that might
make up a simple list telling you just how to cut
one thousand calories a day from your menu
without unbalancing your diet.
If you want to reduce by the calorie route il
is done by cutting down on the amount of calories
taken each day. If you want TO lose a few
pounds take off five hundred calories, if you
have quite a little to lose cut off one thousand
calories for the first month or six weeks. then be
content with taking off five hundred. But be
careful that you know your state of health before
starting any reducing campaign.
