SUMMERTIME
BY D. Q. PEArTH.

There are so many families OF flowers
in which the technical specialists de-
light to amaze the amateurs. families
where all is difficult and full of pitfalls
for the beginner, that it is a relief to
meet a family like the mallows, that
anybody can recognize on sight and
understand.
If you know what a hollyhock looks
like, then you have the gist OF the mai
low family, and though it is not very
brilliantly represented in the wild now
ers of the District of Columbia, there
are two species of hibiscus down
river" along the tidal marshes of the
Potomac, that are in bloom just now
and are so lovely that it is worthy pill
grimage (best attempted by boat) to see
them. They look for all the world like
extra big hollyhocks growing in water,
and one species is pink with green
leaves, the other white with the leaves
silvery-white beneath.
Perhaps the commonest Summer
Towering shrub of the suburbanite is
the Rose of Sharon, which is another
species of hibiscus, but it comes from
the Old World, as indeed do all the
mallow family hereabouts except the
two handsome marsh mallows (ori-
gin of the CONNECTION of that nance
For instance, the handsome velvet leaf
that runs wild in vacant lots around
Washington comes from India. The
high mallow, with purple flowers, and
the little bardyard mallow, with edible
fruits that look and taste like cheese
are European waits.

Prevention of Wrinkles.

Not so long ago a woman in her late
3os went to her physician to see II he
could tell her why, though apparently
in good health, she felt so tired all Oh
the time. After an examination which
proved that there was nothing organi-
csllv wrong. he informed her that the
reason for her lethargy was the TACT
that she was about so pounds over
weight So many pounds Of excess bag
GAGE are pretty sure to make the bearer
unusually weary. And then ne outlined
for her a sensible reducing diet with
list of exercises to be used IN connecIlon
with it.
rather tedious and decided for nerSen
that she would depend upon diet alone,
and she also made the diet consloeIaoiy
more rigid than the doctor had ordered.
Result-the first week she lost eight
pounds and was delighted. The next
week she lost five pounds and so she
went on. week after week, until, as she
put it herself, she ''felt and looked ike
an old woman"
Getting down to normal weight is nne
both as a health and beauty measure,
but it should be done gradually. These
extra pounds usually creep on slowly
and If they are sloughed on too fast
milady is sure to pay the price In a
wrinkled and baggy skin. It Is only
natural that when excess 1at meHS
away the skin should hang in loose
folds. That Is one of the reasons for
exercise along with reduction diet.
The exercise itself doesn't always help
one to reduce a great deal, but 1t does
keep muscles firm and the skin In bet
ter condition than when one depends
on diet alone.
BY all means, do not try TO reduce
too fast. While the diet may be low

Rights of a Child.

1t is true the first thing to do with
children is to give them the best pos
sible physical care. They must be kept
clean. They have to be well fed and
clothed Their beds must be comfort
able and their homes safe and warm.
Their little ills must be attended to;
their greater ones given grave care.
Their first requirement is a healthy
animal life. All that is true. But 1t
is not all of the truth. Not nearly all.
No child can thrive as mere
animal, however healthy 1t may be.
The mission of humanity is the culti-
walton of a spiritual self. Unless the
children have the opportunity for
spiritual growth, for emotional de-
velopment, they are stunted PERSONAL
ties and never find happiness on this
earth.
AS in every branch of child training
this idea works first from outside, In.
We have to wrap the children in an
environment that breathes spiritual
qualities. First of all, the child in the
household must be loved. When you
feed a child you should dress the dish
with affection or its soul nourishment
is nothing at all.
A smile and an affectionate touch
should accompany your miniStrations
or. clean and comfortable as the little
body may be, the budding spirit may De
blighted. Service given in bitterness
poisons the spirit OF the recipient. IL Is
dangerous to child growth.
For this reason We try to keep chill
dren in homes rather than institutions.

FOOD PROBLEMS
By SALLY MONROE.

The italian restaurant in this country
still serves macaroni-miles and miles
of it. But macaroni really isn't Italian
any more. 1t has taken it's place beside
Paris fashions on the list of things upon
which MuSsolini has set the seal of his
diSapproval. The reason, suppose, is
simple enough-the price of white -four
out of which macaroni Is made is ex-
cessively high. 1t Is something of an
act of patriotism to give UP macaroni
in order to reduce this high price. So
when you see in the recipe book or on
menu a dish marked "Macaroni a
IItalienne" you will know that this
menu or book isn't quite up to date.
Here is the sort of dish that We con-
slider typically Italian. 1t can be made
of either spaghetti or macaroni. The
only real difference between these two
products seems to be that macaroni is
somewhat larger than spaghetti and Is
tubular.
Have ready a kettle of rapidly boiling
water. You should have two quarts for
half pound of macaroni, which may
be broken into short lengths to suit
Americans. The water should be slight
" sailed. Cook until tender. Now
crate half pound of American cheese.
Wash and cut up fine a sweet green
pepper and two cloves of garlic. A little
onion may be used instead. Drain the
macaroni and add the cheese and garlic
and green pepper. Also add four or five
tablespoonful of canned tomato, four
or five tablespoonfuls of olive oil, several
tablespoonfuls of catsup, with salt and
pepper to taste. Butter baking dish
and pour this into it. Sprinkle over
with some buttered crumbs, and sprinkle
a little of the cheese on top. Bake
about half hour-it should be a golden
brown on top.

Expensive Clothes.

"Clothes are such an expense"
Iaments a woman, land I don't know
how other women manage. I always
need something or something Is always
wearing out There seems to be no
end TO it. What is the answer?"
The answer is sometimes to be seen
on the woman who murmurS the
lament. One cannot wear sheer hosiery
every day without amaSsing heavy
hosiery bill. Because of the chemistry
Of their skin some women cannot wear
sheer hose economically at all.
The business girl who chooses a soft
blue unfinished Worsted for her business
suit and finds it wearing shiny and
matted in a month has her poor judg-
ment to blame, not the high price OF
clothes"
The woman who buys a coat for
EVERYDAY wear, and learns after the
first rainstorm that 1t spots from rain,
need not look far for the cause OF her
waste of money. The same may be said
of the woman who buys sewn instead
of cemented raincoat.
It Is not so much what one buys az
times as ones purpose in buying 1t.
One must not only know her needs. but
also how TO satisfy them, satisfactorily
and economically.
The woman who buys overseam In
stead of priX seam gloves for every
day wear will soon find the former
pulling out" It is not the fault of the
glove that she chose a dress glove Tor
everyday wear.
Another reason why the clothing
budget is stretched at times to dis
tortion is the fact that We spend more
on occasional clothing than we can
afford, or than the occasion demands,

VARYING Your Diet.

The woman on a strict diet has one
legitimate grievance-that reduction

whether it satisfied her or not. There
is a lot In the mental attitude with
which you approach any subject.
But let us see what can be done 10

clear soup--that means clear beef brotn,
chicken broth, clam broth, further
varied by flavoring with onion or with
tomato.
You can have eggs-boiled, poached
or hard boiled and sliced cold. Or
deviled-only don't make the stuff1ng
rich. You can have chicken any way
but fried, lean beef lamb or mutton
chops-not the fat bits-liver, and you
can have the meat baked, bro1led,

variations
You can have almost all vegetables.

luncheon on this hot day. Fortunately
Dorothy knew that even on the hottest
days there should be some warm food
served. A meal of salads frozen dishes
and iced beverages may taste delicious
as it goes down, but it leads to digestive
upsets.

hot foods on the blue luncheon plate.

melon for dessert.

When facial muscles seem to sag

for lifting them: Bend elbows, fingers

Now place the fingers of your left hand
on your left cheek bone. Stretch the
thumb down and with it pick up the
loose skin under the jaw. Proceed
backward toward the ear, picking up
the skin with the thumb and keeping
the fingers on the cheek bone. Repeat

After the massage, wipe off all excess
