Milady Beautiful
For the Slender.
BY LOIS LEEDS.


Those who love to eat rich pastries
and candies, but know that they must
say NO" or the inSidious pounds Will
mount up, are often envious OF the
slender person who seems to eat every
thing she chooses, but, as she puts 1t
herself, lust can't get fat" 1t may
cheer the overweight woman to know
that her underweight sister is just as
much concerned with her problem, for
there is nothing attractive in being too
bony. Furthermore, thinnesS is just as
conducive to i'll health as overweight,
and in young person it is far more
dangerous to be underweight than 1t IS
TO be few pounds over the average.
In older persons underweight is pretty
apt to cause the skin to become
wrinkled and faded prematurely.
One of the causes of underweight Is
nervousness. One may eat at much as
those OF normal weight but the energy
is burned up through tenseness and
nervous habits. Quite often more rest
and more exercise in the open air will
help one to overcome this tensenesS and
thus help one make better use Of the
food consumed.
Weight can be gained through proper
diet and exercise. Exercise will do
much toward helping one to develop
such keen appetite that it is easy to
increase the number of calories taken.
In planning diet which will help TO
put on weight one should first of all
learn how to count these calories The
number of calories needed in a normal
diet are 20 calorieS for each pound of
normal weight If one Is engaged in work
demanding physical exertion. Those
engaged in a sedentary occupation Will
need only fifteen Galleries per day per
pound. In other words, the average
person weighing 1875 pounds will need
$500 calorieS per day if active or 1875
Galleries If engaged in Sedentary occu-
patton.
Those who are underweight must try
to train their appetites until they can
take from 500 to 900 more calories per
day. 1t must be remembered too, that
1t is not the quantity alone which
counts, but the kind of foods chosen
and the thoroughnesS with which they
are asSimilated. It Is never wise to
STUFF" at nlealtime in the hope of gain
ing weight. Eat slowly and choose the
kind Of foods which will tend to put on
more flesh. Drink quart of good, rich
milk every day. Eat at least two kinds
of green vegetables and plenty of raw
fruit daily. For dessert, take custards,
buildings and ice cream. Baked beans,
rice, macaroni, potatoes and meat with
thick gravy are all very good for one
who wishes to gain weight and is not
suffering from hyperacidity. Omit tea
and coffee and drink milk in their stead
Those who are underweight should
also make 1t a point to have a lunch

In other days one of the most famous
of Paris restaurants was Bignon's.
Bignon displayed no prices on his menu
card and his charges, suited TO the i'm
portance of his diners and the success
Of the dinner, were apt to be high.
The corner table in his restaurant
was celebrated. 1t was declared that
man who dined at it over a period OF
years became cosmopolite who would
be recognized and feted in every capt.
tai of Europe. Such diner, from his
point of vantage, in time witnessed the
passing in review before him of every
famous man on the continent.
Not only was Bignon's food famous.
His wit was we'll known and he served
it generously with his meals. Needless
to say, he was paid for 1t, too.
On being handed his bill one day, the
rich Prince NariSchkin exclaimed:
Fifteen francs for a peach? They
must be very scarce
1T isn't the peaches that are scarce,
mon prince" retorted Bignon, 1T is the
NarischkinS."
The prince protested paying 2l2
francs for red herring.
1T seems to me that price Is excess
siVe," he said
But" replied the restaurateur, these
prices are in your interest. 1t Is the
barrier I have established between my
clients and the vulgar"
One remarks Bignon's use Of the word
"client." He regarded himself as on q
level with a barrister.
To q patron who complained Of a
sauce the msitre said:
Did you dine here last EVENING""
NO" was the reply.
"Ah!" exclaimed Bignon, as if light
had burst upon him. THAT is the
trouble then. You spoiled your taste in
another restaurant"
A third guest complained about the
charges on his bill for breakfast.
you wish to make me pay 81 francs
today" he said, land only few days
ago had the identical breakfast for
ID francs"
"I will investigate the mistake" Of
fered Bignon. He went to his desk,
looked into his papers and soon re-
turned.
1T is very true, monsieur" he said,
that mistake was made in your favor
last Monday, but I make no claim for
restitution
Bignon had no desire to cater to any
but the most exclusive persons. On the
other hand, only these cared to dine

BY SALLY MONROE.

THERE are such good breads, ready
made, that few women nowadays
bother about making bread at home
But, IL you know how, an occasional
batch of homemade bread Is delight
full change and treat to the family.
Poor homemade bread is so much worse
than mediocre store bread that 1t is
never worth trying.
If you have learned to make bread
the trick of producing variety OF rolls,
rusks and buns Is a very simple one.
that 1t requires great skill to make
them.
When your bread dough has risen
for the first time, when 1t is ready to
separate into loaves, Is the time to take
what you wish for rolls. The simplest
ones are made by cutting the dough
into small pieces, forming into round
balls and placing in pan, brushing
with butter, and cooking in a quick
oven for IS minutes.
A sort Of Parkerhouse roll may be
made by cutting the plain dough into
small pieces. flattening each piece
spreading lightly with butter and fold
ing into a purse. Place these purses
In pan and cook in hot oven.
Bread Sticks.
Bread SUCKS may be made by cut
ting pieces of dough from the first
rising, rolling them out with the
fingers to the size of a pencil and then
cutting in lengths and laying in a pan
to rise. Put in a hot oven and, when
nearly done, brush with an egg white.
To make KringleS, you should weigh
off half-pound of the risen dough.
Work into the dough two full table
spoonfuls OF sugar and two eggs, with
two tablespoonfuls of butter. Add a
little more -four to make 1t knead we'll.
Roll to pencil sticks and then form on
baking pan into rings or link shapes.
Let rise and bake in hot oven.
Currant and raisin buns may be
made by adding currants or raisins or
bits Of minced citron to the bun dough
If you wish, you may brush with egg
white when nearly done, and then
sprinkle with sugar, or you may sprinkle
with mixture of sugar and cinnamon
Yeast Wrongly Blamed.
When the housewife has trouble with
the bread dough, and finds 1t hasn't
risen after six or seven hours In the
bread-mixing pan, she usually blames
the yeast cake. There is the remote

chance. that the yeast cake is to blame.
but the chance is very slight. II you
have had the yeast cake too long, II
you have bought it from dealer who
is not particular about the freshness
of the yeast cakes he sells, If you have
kept the yeast cake in very hot
place-then possibly the yeast is to
blame. But usually when bread doesn't
rise properly something else is wrong.
Salt tends to retard the action of
yeast; sugar favors it. If you have put
more salt in the bread mixture than
your recipe calls for, that may be the
cause of poor rising.
If you have put the yeast cake In
your hread-mtxtng pan when the milk
or water was more than lukewarm, the
intense heat would naturally irjure the
yeast.
On the other hand. II you have used
perfectly cold water or milk In mixing
your bread, that is reason enough for
lack of rising. If you have made too
stun a batter your yeast viii have Diff
flculty in working
For Best Results.
To secure the best results In bread
making, 1t is well to have a thermome-
ter and to put your bread to rise in
place where you can keep the tenn
perature pretty even From 50 to SO
degrees Fahrenheit is the best. How
ever, this is not always practicable.
Some cooks place the mixing pan over
a pan containing hot waterloo de-
greeS preferably-and this helps to
keep bread at favorable temperature
in cold weather.
Remember that the -four you use has
something to do with the proper light
ness of bread Never try tn make bread
with pastry or cake -four. Use a good
quality of bread flour. II you use whole
wheat. oatmeal or other cereals in max
ing the bread, use exactly the amount
called for in tried recipe. If you use
too little wheat -four. there will not be
enough gluten and rising will not be
satisfactory.

cushions are filled with down which
would be an ideal piece for the up-to-
date sunroom.
The chair is of reed in three different
colors. This gives it the modern effect
as we'll as the general outline of the
chair. Three colors may be used for
the reed, these, of course, being de-
termined by the general scheme of the
room. The drapery material has q
great deal to do with this and it would
be attractive to have room with
green-ground drapery material which
has pattern in cherry red gold and
touch of black.
With material such as this the chair
may be in black, green and yellow reed,
the cushions being covered in plain red
piped In black.
The brighter the colors and the more
they contrast, the more striking the
chair is sure to be.
