Sho
With Alice and EUeLyn

The chilly seasons come, with
the wind blowing colder every
day! The time of year when
we wake up wishing for warm
underwear-or else that we
could stay indoors all day. But
the breezes must be braved-
for jaunts to work as well as
weekend jamborees, with foot
ball games and such. And the
slogan for enjoying everything
you do this weather is: Keep
warm underneath" Those
panied expressions you see
around street corners belong to
people who won't heed the
warning sneeze!
And this season keeping the
doctor well away doesn't mean
you wear red flannels. On the
contrary. you can dress as
charmingly underneath as if it
were midsummer, and keep
thoroughly warm with soft little
garments that lie as smoothly
and fit as snugly as silk ones
do. For fashion didn't turn to
woolenS in the dress field alone.
Something t. Write Home About
Here are the woolly undies
We simply fell in love with!
First, let us tell you that the
panties and the vest in the
second illustration cost Just
about 81 each and you'll
understand. There's so per
cent wool in them, too, and the
rest is silk and rayon. The
vest that's Sketched may in
trigue you-it's that bodice top
we spoke of. It's made this
WY. with just elastic at the
top so you can pull it off when
you get home from a foot
ball game without undressing!
Isn't that a marvellous idea? If
you don't need to take it off,
then Of course you'll want the
vest with shoulder straps. And
it's very smart that way-ex-
tremely lowcut front and back
and underneath the arms, with
the V-Shaped neckline bound in
matching rayon.
And either way there's a
wide. snug-fitting band at the
waist and hem Of the vest.
Both vest and panties have
that necessary elasticity to
make them fit the body
smoothly, without any bulge
beneath your frock. So does

Interesting and
Timely Facts

The worlds smallest postoffice
is in the Straits of Magellan. It
is a small painted caSk chained
to rocks in such a way to al.
low it to float freely. Passing
ships send a ooat to it to take
letters out and put others in. It
is under the protection of all the
navieS of the world.
The slave traffic still operates
in the Orient. In Arabia proper,
slave trading goes on fairly
openly. The Hejaz government
levies a toll of $40 a head on
slaves. In Haibar. to the north
Of Medina, exist Moslem tribes
who were subjected centuries ago
to the Arabs and have been
treated as slaves ever since.

Suggestions For
Housewives

To sweep a carpet thoroughly
without making a cloud of dust,
place a newspaper in a basin
Of water, remove and tear into
small pieces. Sprinkle these
over the carpet and after a
few minutes sweep in the ordi-
nary way and the pieces of pa
per will collect all the fluff and
dust.
To improve worn oilcloth,
add a tablespoonful of painters
size to the water when wash
ing.
Linoleum will not crack If
cleaned with oil and vinegar in
equal parts.
After using an egg whisk,
wash it thoroughly in cold
water and then put in tue oven
for a short time. This will pre-
vent it from rusting.
In filling cake tins, let the
mixture be a little higher on
the sides than in the middle.

An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage
Jealous of Ice Man!

Jealous of Ice Man!
I have been married IL years.
ever since I was 16. I was an
orphan and wanted a home. I
have three darling children. I
love my husband and there is
no other man in my life. But
we can't get along when we are
together; when we are away
from each other We are lone
some. His work takes him
away about half the year.
When he returns he seems a
stranger. He is affectionate
and tells me I am as pretty as
ever. If I ask him to go any
place, he says he's tired of
driving, and he spends Sun
days looking over his car. He
is so jealous of me, he won't
even let the ice man put the
ice in the box, makes him
leave it out Of doors, and it's
so heavy for me to lift. Be-
lieve me, Miss Fairfax, I am a
true wife. M. F.
I think that, taking it all in
all, your case might be a whole
lot worse. You are still a
young woman and have plenty
of life before you. Use your
woman'S wit and make a study
of your husband and, when
he's in a good humor after a
nice Sunday dinner, try and
persuade him to take you some
place that would mean a little
recreation to you both. Let's
look at his side Of the case.
He works long hours every day
and probably nothing seems as
inviting as complete rest when
he gets home. You say you
have three darling children"
That is indeed a great bless
ing; make the most of 1t.
What Would You Do With Him
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My mother is a hard-working
housewife-cleaning and cook
ing three meals a day for four
people. She supplies her hus-
band with fresh linen as often
as he wants it. Only the best Of
food is put before him, but
there is always something wrong,
and-down goes plate, food, and
all. The last episode took place
before the whole family, includ-
ing my husband and my sisters

Of humanity said. can now

When Manners

Letter Form

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. In sending a personal or
social letter, is the Sender's ad-
dress required?
2. If so, is it placed at the
top, as in this letter. or at the
end Of the letter opposite the
signature? B.
/. In the case Of most letters
we write it is usually necessary
to put our address either In
the heading Of the letter or at
the end of the letter. But. Of
course, if it is just a note or
letter to someone to whom we
write often, someone thoroughly
familiar with our address, it is,
naturally. not necessary to in
clude the address.
2. Either the top of the first
sheet-to the right-or st the
end Of the letter Is correct for
the address. It depends on
which position you consider
more artistic in the general
spacing Of your letter.
And please let me congratu-
late you on the excellent form
of your letter, on your ex-
tremely good looking hand
writing and on the general
artistic appearance Of your let
ters. wish now that I could
urge you not to use any abb
breviations on your envelopes.
If you do not, your letters will
be perfect.

Your Health
and Diet
BY Logan Clendening, M. d.

I heartily recommend a book
lately published, 1.-THE Doctor
Explains" by DR.. Ralph H.
Major. The title indicates the
subject matter. It is meant to
help out those people who want
to know the meaning Of the
tests their doctor has just put
them through.
For instance, Basal Metabol-
ism. Many people must have
taken this test in the last five
years. And they must have
been mystified. They usually
describe it to me thus: Then
the doctor gave me a malamism
test - you know, made me
breathe into a kind Of a can
and then took the can away
and analyzed my breath"
Takes The Test
DR.. Major takes this test and
tells how it came to be dis
covered. Then how it came to
be adapted to the needs Of
practical medicine. Then he
describes an average patient 60
ing through it-and what the
doctor expects to learn. What
steps he goes through to get
the results and how he forms
his conclusions.
He does the same thing for
many other tests and methods
of treatment. If you are puz-
Zled by some OF the stunts your
modern doctor has made you
perform, get this interesting
volume and find out what they
mean.
Recent Medical Books
Among other recent books on
medicine the one that inter
eSted me the most was. THE
Young Doctor Thinks Out
Loud" It is about the old sub
jects of the cost of medical
care and the many changes in
the modern organization Of
medicine, but differing from
most of the others it comes
from someone who knows what
he is talking about, because he
has actually been in medical
practice. The young doctors
conclusion is that there is
plenty Of room for the private
physician who is willing to give
sound medical service and who
has not too exalted an opin-
ion Of his Importance.

him wait, never makes him
Jealous and never makes him
wonder.
A man is young, just so long
as every kiss is a brand new
thrill--and old, when a brand
new kiss is "just a kiss"
Every shattered love-affair
brings you nearer to the end
of your illusionS-but isn't the
scenery wonderful?
There are more than 81
ways to lose a man; but the
quickest is by demanding more
devotion than he wants to give,
and the surest is by giving
more devotion than he de-
mandS.
You can't keep a good man
down-and you can't pull the
other kind very far up. The
moment you relax your hold,
he slides right back to the old
weakness or the other woman.

enjoyment a man takes in go

A more ominous rumble than

ually mingles with our songs
and in a pause there comes
a mighty crash that travels
rolling in long reverberations
over the plain. Clouds have
gathered; a thunder s t orm

darkness closes over them again
in thunder, but with every
flash they come nearer.
Our eyes shine with excite

us, like a giant beanstalk.

The City Ahead
The city has sprung upon
us, gathered us to herself.
There she lies painting under
the wild light, outstretched in
viting. And we are coming to
her-a trainload Of soldiers,
a trainload Of homecoming
men out Of the limbo of
nothingness, a trainload of
tense expectancy, nearer and
nearer. Inc train tears along:
the walls leap out against us,
in a moment we will collide;

rises up on both sides of the
carriage, seething with noise
and cries; a pelting rain is fall

the wet. Needless, we jump
out into it all.
AS I spring out of the door
the dog follows. He presses

run through the rain down the
