The paja-gown is a cross between

Muffs and separate fur scarfs
are beginning to be worn. Velvet is
a more ! popular material than
ever. Simple, straight-lined, girl
ish styles have suddenly disap-

and decoration. Sleeves are trim

Waist and hem lines have grown
farther apart. We now have eth

with very short waist. Hem lines
reach to the middle Of the calf for
sports and street; . little longer

Eating For Health

AS we hurry along through our
strenuous days, we forget that we
can make and keep ourselves heal
thy and fit if only we give some
intelligent thought to what we
eat. We can save dentist bills by
eating the food which builds strong
teeth. We can delay the grazing
Of our hair; keep blood pressure
down; have a fair skin, red lips and
rosy cheeks; and be fit and fine
if we will eat the right things.
For the teeth we need foods with
calcium in them, such as milk,
oranges, liver, and codliver oil.
For the hair we need iodine to
keep the glands working healthily.
We can get this from iodized salt,
now sold everywhere. To keep the
blood pressure down, we need to
neutralize body acids formed by
eating meats, eggs and cereals,
with the alkaline foods: milk,
fruit and vegetables. To have a
clear skin we should avoid sugars,
pastries and cakes, and eat vege-
tabfes and whole grain foods in

the affects Of this system pro-
Economists who have studied
nounce it beneficial rather than
harmful. Those merchants who
have given credit to responsible
persons have suffered; but most
charge accounts are paid within
two months and most installment
purchases are paid for within a
year or two. any successful mer-
chants prefer to have selected pa
irons run charge accounts rath-
err than make cash purchases
presumably because they buy more
freely on that basis.
This method of buying encour-
ages families to have things which
they would postpone buying indef-
initely, or would never buy if
they had to wait until they had the
cash in hand. This puts stimulus,
ambition, breath of culture and re-
finement into the children, whose
lives are thereby enriched. The
strange thing is that the dads
seem so successful in meeting those
monthly bills. The cycle Of bust
ness prospers by the increased
consumption.

when you settle down on the sofa
or dayenport for your evenings
reading. 1t should have a durable
as well as attractive cover. A quilt
block pattern or calico in a quaint
design of black, red and yellow, on
a background of black sateen, forms
a unique cover. A ruffle of calico
around the outer edge may be add
ed if desired. AS both materials
are dye fast, such covers will be
bright even after many tubings.
Homemade candies, fruit cakes,
jams and jellies are never given
a cold reception. If cakes and can
dies are wrapped in the new trans
parent paper which is now on the
market and packed in round tin
boxes which have been lacquered
in old rose or soft green, their
charm will be unresistable. The
jams and jellies also look very

ent paper.
So plan to make at least few
of your Christmas gifts at home.
You will find that your efforts
will be repaid thousand times.

Kitchen Convenience

Study your kitchen and deter
mine if it is as convenient as you
can make it, and also as pleasant
a place as possible in which TO
spend many hours Of your life.
Are the major furnishings ar
ranged properly in their relation
to one another; stove, sink, table,
cupboards? grouped so that rou-
tine tasks may be done as rapidly
as possible ? Have you the needed
equipment? Is the plumbing salts
factory?
Does your Kitchen need making
over? With small expenses this
may often be done. To close an un-
necessary door and put cupboard
there; to add a drain-board, move
the stove, >or put up few shelves,
may make all the difference in the
world in the number of steps you
have to bake each day.
A better light with an attrac-
tive mantle, new and dainty cur
tains, fresh varnish on the limo
leum, newly painted walls and
woodwork Of such soft and at
tractive colors as peach with blue
trimmings, or egg-shell with green
may make a joy-room out Of
what was drab and undressing
before.

stead. To keep the body warm and
induce glowing complexion, we
must have iron-rich foods: beef,
liver, bran, egg yolk and spinach.
Besides these health giving
foods, we should expose ourselves
to an hour of sunshine daily. We
cannot prosper without our daily
dose of ultraviolet rays.
If you feel that you are slip
ping, are headachey, dull or below
par, go on a years diet of head
lettuce, fruits and vegetables of
all varieties, whole grain breads
and cereals, several glasses of
milk daily, judicious use of
meat and eggs and plenty of exer-
else in the sunshine. If anything
can make you healthy and beauti-
full this will.

Simple, artistic, and useful pres
ents which posses a pleasing per-
sonal touch almost entirely lack

Every woman likes to keep her
clothing spic and span, and a set
of individual pieces Of equipment
for the clothes are always appre-
ciated. 1t may be a hat box and
stand, dress covers, shoe trees, or
a shoe rod for the closet door. An
attractive laundry bag or cleverly
made boxes with compartments for
hose, handkerchiefs, beads and
trinkets, find a ready welcome.
Original effects may be obtained
by the proper selection of mater
ials and the artistic use of color
ed lacquer.
A charming ensemble idea may
be worked out by using a gay
print for the laundry bag and dress
cover. And lacquer the hat stand
and shoe trees to match color in
the print. A round hat box may be
secured at a mems clothing store.
Carefully lacquered in black OF
French gray, and with a delicate
Cooley print pasted on one side, the
hat box cannot help but win the
feminine heart completely. The
ensemble idea may be carried out
further by the, addition Of lacquer
ed boxes divided into convenient
compartments.

ions which may be tucked behind
