Good Sandwiches
Tempt Children

When planning sandwiches for chill
dren you will find these suggestions
helpful:
Meat sandwiches should be made
from leftover meat from the day be-
fore in preference to sliced meat bought
at the delicatessen. Very often the
ready-cooked meat Is not sufficiently
done to be wholesome for children and
besides it is. very much more expen-
sive. 1t is a good plan always to put
the meat through the meat grinder.
Children are careless about chewing
meat especially for their school lunch,
and cold meat unless well chewed, Is
not easily digested. Chop the meat In
the grinder. moisten with little gravy,
season with salt and spread between
slices of white or WhOle-Wheat bread.
For most children over 5 or 6. let
tuce may be used. 1t should be shred
ded. preferably. and may be used with
cream cheese or cottage cheese in pref
erence to mayonnaise. 1t may also be
used with ground meat
Finely ground nuts mixed with q
little butter may be spread on the
sandwiches of older children. and
sometimes raisins or dates also ground
fine may be mixed with the nuts.
AS a rule hard-boiled eggs are not
welcome. but If the eggs are cooked
for Is or 20 minutes and are then
finely chopped, they are not indiges-
tible

Walls Finished With Paint

gray, and with most decorative schemes
nowadays q plain wall surface is most
desirable.
There are many sorts Of water-mixed
paint, too, that are useful in certain
rooms, but should never be used on a
hall, bathroom, kitchen or any room
that has very much wear. They are SO
easily water spotted and cannot be
patched up without washing of an en-
tire wall and painting that wall all
over. Then, too, there is always the
danger Of putting the water paint on at
little different consistency, so that
the reprinted wall would not be exactly
the shade of the first ones. OF course,
the advantage of the oil-painted walls
is that they can be wiped of with a
damp cloth to keep them free from
dust and any real mark can be re-
moved with a little soap and water
II you like more ornate effect than
can be gained by the perfectly plain
wall you may finish the top of the
walls with a Stenciled design, in con-
like to have dado effect, combining
darker tone beneath and q lighter one
above.
A nursery or any room occupied bv
children should certainly be finished
with an oil-painted wall. Not only is IL
so much easier to keep in condition, but
q painted wall offers no such temptA-
tons for meddlesome fingers On the
painted nursery wall you may make .
stenciled design of nursery-book figures
or you may have border of wallpaper
cutouts Of these figures. 1t should be
applied with glue. because ordinary
paste would not hold over the oil-paint
finish If you like you can shellac over
it to render it waterproof

Hat Etiquette
In Elevators
BY HELEN wELsHIMER.


When knighthood was in nower-or
rather before its lingering blossoms had
started to fade and women wore long
hair and longer skirts-in those days
men removed their hats when women
entered elevators But they don't do it
nearly so much any more. according to
the guardians Of public ascensions and
descensions.
The general consensus among the
marculine sex seems to be that If it is a
business elevator the chapeaux stay on.
Whether man has waving locks Oh the
top of his head in the place where his
hair ought to be, or whether he has a
barren spot which rests in pink and
white repose, man iE no longer COM
PEELED by rules of courtesy to expose
his tonsoTial effect to the eyes OF the
ladies!
Women admit that they miss the old
tribute to their femininity. Perhaps
that is why they are turning more and
more to laces and chiffons and furs in
recent styles. After all, you have to
admit that there was more mystery TO
cluster of powdered curls and rustling
train than there is to a modern bob
and skirt.
Not that there is demand for the
return of styles which would never
be practical in this hurrying age, but
| the consensus seems to be that If a
| little more gracefulness entered into the
modern ensemble, little more gracious
| ness would appear in modern manners.
Women aren't eager to 60 back to the
! days when the only shadows OF the
world they saw came stealing through
mirrors hung to catch the reflection of
| knights who passed by.
Women now much prefer direct deal
ings with men. They want to be
! noticedl
And a hat that is raised deferentially
| in an elevator helps a lot. Chivalry
didn't ride down the long purple road
into the gloam when the last dragon
was killed Only the style Of chivalry
has changed, that's all.
| Speaking of courtesy a very high
compliment was paid to a man one day
by scrub woman in large city office
building:
"Of course I only scrub the floors;'
she said, her old blue eyes shining as
though bits of long, forgotten, broken
dreams were coming back. But every
time he gets on the elevator. even II
| I'm the only passenger, he takes of his
hat. And it makes me scrub harder"
Courtesy like that might also help
typing and few other kinds Of work

Sports Hats Should
Be Wind.Defying

Hats that match the costume are
considered little smarter than those
of contrasting color, even when; the
contrast is definitely linked with the
ensemble. There are exceptions, and
one is the bright red or green tam worn
with black and white tweeds dashed
with red or green.
A smart type of headgear for sports
wear consists of strip Of tricot, angora,
felt, chenille or lace-knit fabric, which
may be wound around the head and
adjusted as is most becoming. In
bright color, snug-f1tting and wind
defying, such head covering is practi-
cal and comfortable in the open and
decidedly sportslike in appearance.
With fur-trimmed cloth topcoats and
fur coats, hats in which fur is intro
duced are going to be very much in
evidence at sports events. Galyak is
often selected because 1t is so smooth
and doesn't look furry, and can there
fore be worn with other furs.
Felt hats for sports may be Of the
Still-favored cloche shape or of the
newer off-the-fsce, or irregular, side
brin type. These hats have bands of
several colors to be changed with the
costume.

Makeup Varies
With Dress Color

The old fashioned plan was to choose
colors for your clothes that were be-
coming to the tone of your complexion.
The idea now is to choose your COM
plexion to suit the color of your clothes.
This, at least, is what we are urged to
do by beauty specialists who realize
that any color may be becoming to any
woman provided she uses just the right
makeup.
It is not just a question of being
willing to wear makeup but of using
precisely the right shade of makeup
and of knowing when to do entirely
without rouge or lipStick.
Too much makeup may do as much
to make a color unbecoming as none
at all. Usually one should tone down
the face color when wearing flaming
red or reddish purple, using a light
touch Of rouge with pink or lavender.
Black and gray require very definite
use of rouge If one is inclined to be
pale or sallow. Green. as every one
knows, needs a touch of color in the
makeup to make it becoming. The
woman who is willing to use rouge
ought never to wear a green evening
dress unless she naturally has good
color.
The latest trick in the way of cos
metics is making up to match ones
tweeds A London beauty specialist
started 1t by providing special make
up to go with various tweed mixtures
to be worn by fashionable women GO
ing to Scotland or the North of Eng
land for the shooting season. The

calls for q tan-pink makeup.
When green or green and brown
tweed Is worn. rosy tones are best
with rose OF a slightly creamy cast

Woven Tweeds With
Diagonal Effects Are
Likely to Be Chosen.
Fur Jackets May Be
Worn in Town With
One Piece Wooden
Dresses Sports
Topcoats Are of
Straight Line Type.
Scarfs Made of Coat
Fabrics.
BY HELEN DRYDEN.

- LOTHES designated as sports,
except those designed for
~ specific sport, are correct Tor
travel and informal town wear
AS well as for foot ball games,
country horse shows and others sports
events This makes them must
have for every woman. To think OF
these sports clothes is to visualize woven
tweeds. OF these, diagonal effects are
the newest.
The separate topecat for sports may
be of tweed, cameTs hair, llama. one
of the thick-pile fabrics, or the fur
cloth resembling beaver, Ideal for the

lot. leopard, lapin or beaver-an OF
which have the required hexibtlity to
recommend them, although they are no
more comfortable than raccoon, which
the collegians have appropriated for
their own.
Fur Jackets may be worn in town
with one-piece wooden dresses. For
sports wear fur coats should be of the
three-quarters or seven-eighths length,
of the swagger type, belted, and with
raglan shoulders. AS the fur coat must
serve on so many occasions Tor most
of us, a conservative straightline model
may be preferred. Often they are lined
with tweed, jersey, kasha or angora, to
match the dress or ensemble. Some
times they are reversible and may be
worn as cloth coat lined with fur or
a fur coat lined with cloth. In fact,
the cloth coat lined with fur Is lit
tie newer, little smarter than the fur
coat for sport.
VERY little flare has crept into sports
topcoats. They are Of the straight
line type, although so full that their
wide leather belts, either all around or
only across the back. give them GER
tain swing or flare at the hemline.
This strictly sports coat need not have

woven or a separate fur cravat tied at
one side gives protection to the throat.

ishly furred with collars of the shawl,
pouch or tuxedo type. extending to the
waist and often on to the hem, crushed
to form a frame around the face or

Even newer than shawl collars are up

Terminating touch, so characteristic of
the clothes of today. such as dainty
collars, pleated frills which may ripple
their way jabot-like down the front or
at the side, gilets and plastrons, tucked
and outlined with fittings. There may
be bows at the neck, arranged ladder
fashion down the front, or at the
wrists. Sometimes bows tie the over
blouse securely at the hips. The femi-
nine touch may be added by means of
scarf looped or draped round the
neckline.

sleeveless most of them have long,

Sweaters are often used as blouses
this season. Rather than the ma
chine-knit pull-over. one is more likely
to be made from sheer jersey or lace
knit fabric. To be sure, there are
knitted jumpers, but they are hand
knit and O. far cry from the old type
of sweater. Lucille Paray Of Paris has
set the fashion for sweaters of this
sort in the natural or beige tone, to
harmonic with tweeds, with which
they are worn, and a modernistic
motif in several colors is knitted at the
front.
The bodice you will generally find
with the three-piece ensemble is of
jersey. 1t may be plain, with fancy
stripes or in saw-tooth design. 1t may
be of lace-knit fabric, tricot tweed or
silk crepe. In any event, it will be so
fashioned that it can be worn tucked
in at the waistline or as an overblouse.
