frocks, short capes are worn instead OF
sport Jackets at some Of the resorts and
for street wear there Is the seven-
eighths cape. Sometimes there are up
and-down Sits at the front of the cape
for the hands to come through.
Shirring is to be noted on many of
the new frocks. Full chiffon skirts
are often attached to the bodice with
a triple row of shirring. Sometimes
the shirring extends from the line of
jointure we'll below the hips to form
a sort of yoke at the top Of the skirt
Sometimes there are shirred sections
let in at the side or front of the skirt
and again there is puckering Of the
i'll place by up-and-down shirring.
In evening and afternoon frocks
skirts are frequently-1 might even say
uSually-of uneven length. The under
side of the skirt is frequently faced up
with matching or contrasting material
and the legs are then Silhoueted against
this background Of material.
You may not agree with me-but 1t
is my candid opinion that the new
clothes are unusually attractive. and
the fashions offered for us to choose
from are unusually rich in possibilities.
So simple, but so effective--was what
we said when We saw little girls

1t was Just the sort Of thing that every
little girl needs to put over her party

our readers with daughters might like
to know how to make 1t, and now we

especially for lunch time, many unwise
combinations such as pie, Frankfurters
with mustard. dill pickles and coffee.
and also rich pastries Of cloying sweet
ness. All these items of food may have
their place in the diet, but they do not
make a well balanced, healthful mid
day meal.
Many older women complain OF lack
of appetite when the lunch hour comes
around. Nothing seems to tempt them
to eat and yet they feel that It Is
necessary to take something. Instead
of forcing ones self to eat under such
circumstances II is often wiser to omit
luncheon so that when dinner time
comes one can eat with real relish.
Oftentirnes lack of appetite at noon
is due 10 the fact that breakfast has
not yet been digested. People who have
passed the growing period Of their lives
do not need to take nourishment as
often as younger ones do and two meals
a day may be all they require.
In young people lack of appetite Is
often due to nervousness, failure to
get enough outdoor exercise and eat
ing candy between meals. The ex-
tremely thin, sallow girl who cannot
fnd anything that appeals to her for
lunch should try taking a cup Of clear
soup TO begin with. This viii stim-
ulate the gastric Juice and thus coax
the appetite to accept solder foods
later on. Instead Of going right from
her Office or classroom to lunch she
should take a short walk out-of-doors
during which she should try to relax
nervous tensions and forget her wor-
rtes. She Is the type Of girl who
needs to drink plenty OF milk but too
often she has a prejudice against 1t.
Milk is unpalatable to her but she
needs its nourishing properties in her
diet. To overcome this difficulty q
little gelatin may be added to the
drink. Use one-ouarter teaspoonful OF
gelatin TO glass OF milk. stirring well.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN X. GUM.
A Lesson From Lots Wife.

A Lesson From Lots Wife.
Text: But his wife looked back from
behind him. and she became pillar Of
salt."-Gen. xix.26.
Every one knows the story OF Lots
wife. Fleeing with her husband and
two daughters from Sodom, condemned
to be destroyed because Of its great
iniquity, and turning to look back, she
became pillar Of salt.
This strange piece of ancient history
Is also very modern history. Every man
who turns his face from the future to
the past becomes pillar Of salt. He
becomes q foSsil-a man OF antiquated
ideas and methods and dead to prog
ress. The man who habitually looks
back to the past has no more future.
He has reached the climax OF his
career. He will never make another
forward move.
Forward-going men are lorwaro-
looking men. They are ever looking
forward to greater things and greater
achievements. They are drawn on by
a great expectancy. The future holds
them. not the past.
The past Is by no means to be de-
spised. There are many lessons 10 be
learned from the past and grea: In
spiration to be drawn therefrom. But
we are not TO be slaves to the past.
bound by It's opinions. customs and
methods. We are not TO be so enam-
ored with the past as to be blind to
the present and the future. The golden
age is before us. not behind us.
Remember Lots wife, Leave Sodom
behind and move on Sodori Is q per-
ishing city. Do not let yourself be tied
to ideas and methods that have been
doomed by the worlds progress. The
world does not want men who live in
the past. The world wants men who
live In prospect rather than in retro
spect, men facing forward rather than
facing backward.

eve could be married tomorrow"
walled Marie, "if mother would only
give in and consent to come to live
with U.s."
Where have you heard that before?
Haven't two out Of every FIVE Of your
friends had much the same story to
tell?
Isn't it incredible how often that
sort Of thing Is happening all over the
courage to tell the unfortunate Mai
victims the only straight. sensible
course for them to take?
Marie's case is typical. She lives
with her mother and supports her ana
hasn't an awful lot Of cash left over
to take care of her clothes and her
good times.
Nevertheless she has managed very
well. so well that at the present date
she's all tied up to a nice young gent
named Walter. Walter, OF course. Is no
Rockefeller, and the first few years OF
marriage are going to be pretty rocky,
what with getting an apartment, 1ur-
nishing it, and so forth.
However. they're in love and obstacles
look pretty small from where they sit
the air.
They're willing to take the risk Of
marrying on next to nothing II only
Marie's mother would come to live with
them. Now that isn't a pleasant pros
pect for those two young folkS-life IN
q three room apartment with mother
in-law on deck. But they're facing
that bravely and gayly. And even to
that Marie's mother won't consent.
No. II you please. she won't live on
charity-that Is. she won't let Walter
chip in and help with the money
question.
She will let Marie work and slave
and toll to keep the two OF them
one chance of a big happy future
but she's not going to do anything as
low and mean as to let Marie's husband
take care Of her. Did you ever hear Of
such utter nonsense?
And can you believe that any one
with as keen and level q head as Marie
Is going to fall for that stun? She's
simply eaten 1t up. What's more, she's
all ready to give Walter the z. b.
This noble sacrifice Of hers Is dc
tated by her sense Of duty. She owes
everything to her mother. Therefore,
In the face OF her mothers obstinacy

fee herself.
No. she mustn't. She mustn't think OF
such a thing. She must cold -bloodedly
force her mother into accepting o place
In her new home.
She must do this for her own sake,
and for Walters. Why must she sacri-
fice the man she loves to the selfish OBJ.
stinacy OF her mother?
Let there be no mistake about 10.
Her mother won't hold out long when
she sees her daughter determined. She
will make the best Of It. She may even
come to enjoy the new life more when
things grow easier for the young couple.
In any event she must not be allowed
TO ruin the happiness Of two young
people. That kind OF selhshness Is un-
pardonable and ought to be stamped
out. not encouraged and pitied.

One Mother Says:
Training In the etiquette Of eating
should start before baby leaves his high
chair. never dump all of baby's food
into his deep plate and mix 1t up to-
gether. If he has bread and gravy and
vegetables of several kinds, put these
in separate parts Of his plate. or even
give him side dish.
When the soup and the foods Of a
proper first course are eaten. remove
his plate just as I would at table and
give him his fruit or custard, speaking
Of this as his dessert.
