Changing Sets Of Collars and Cuffs
By MARY MARSHALL.

cannot endure is to wear the same dress
two days in succession.
Then there are women to whom a
cheap dress is impossible. One of this
group may admire the dress that q
friend has bought for nine-ninety- EIGHT,
but she would be miserable If she had
to wear 1t. The only drawback to their
system is that unless they have very
large dress allowance their dresses be-
come as familiar to their associates as
bread and butter and their appearance
lacks the spice that variety affords.
There is a compromise position that
is very easy to hold this season. II you
will insist on wearing expensive dresses
that is, dresses maze OF good material,
with first-class workmanship-you can
contrive to get the variety needed by
means OF varied accessories. A very
good black silk crepe dress, for IN
stance, may be worn again and again
without spelling monotony, If the wearer
takes the trouble to change the Access
sorry collars and cuffs. If she can make
some Of these sets herself, the cost
of such variety Is not great.
Today's sketch shows one OF the new
fly-away collars and cuffs that would
completely transform a simple dress OF
the sort we have In mind. It can be
made of georgette or line batiste for a
foundation, with not more than three
quarters Of a yard of fancy frilling for
the fy-away trimmings on shoulders
and cuffs.

Personal HEALTH SERVICE

Years longer. I doubt if any good evil
eence can be deduced TO show that porch
sleeping has ever done anybody any
harm. On the other hand. unless one
likes it and really enjoys it more than
he does indoor sleeping, believe II
does no particular good.
If my kids preferred to sleep on the
porch, the roof or out under the elm,
that's where they would sleep, so lar
as hygiene and I were concerned; II
they complained it Is too cold or noisy
or quiet or hot out there, then they
could sleep somewhere in the house
with arrangements for proper ventila-
ton.
Fresh air is cool, moving air. There
is not merely the question OF the pro-
portion of oxygen and carbon dioxide
in the air, nor the degree OF humidity,
the temperature and the rate OF move
meut. to consider. There is also the
effect produced by contact of the air
with the skin, even though 1t be only
the skin of the face. All this is an
important chapter of physiology which
we cannot include here. Suff1ee It to
saw that the practical significance Of
fresh air includes the consideration OF
the refexes controlled by the contact
OF air with the skin. Thus any excess
of bed covers or Of sleeping garments,
piled on when one urSg gets tnto pca'
perhaps to help warm up the feet, may
bring a frightful nightmare few hours
later.
of course a good cold wind or draft
blowing into ones face would counter
act the bad effects Of excessive cover
ings. to some extent. Thus the con-
frmed open-air sleeper has a distinct
advantage over the mollycoddle who
prefers the artificial warmth within
doors. Still, there is nothing in the
world except silly prejudice and
ignorance to prevent the indoor sleeper
from providing a nice cold draft Tor
himself most nights.
A friend of this column recently Of
fered us a good suggestion. He said
gallon glass bottle, such as fruit juices
and beverages are sold in, filled with
hot water. will keep ones feet and the
bed warm all night and well into the
next forenoon. If your feet are warm
YOU can scarcely be chilly in bed. For
confirmed open air or porch sleepers
this gallon of warmth may not partlcu-
larry appeal, but for timid indoor sleep
ers who contemplate a night in the
open it should be inviting.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BIZ LOIS LEEDS.

In the first place, you are correct IN
weight and that means great deal.
From your coloring I judge that your
skin is really olive rather than sallow.
Do not be afraid to use little rouge OF
a deep shade becoming to your type. IL
is natural for the skin to become thicker
as one grows older and for this reason
the natural coloring does not come
through as it does when one Is very
young.
Your description leads me 10 think
that you are an olive brunette in type
and colors best suited to your dark hair
and eyes are black trimmed with bright
color or with ecru; deep cream, ma
hogany and brown, ecru, brilliant yell
low, bright red, rust, prick and oull
pinks.
Now as to your couture; study differ
ent arrangements, keeping in mind that
ones face should appear oval in con-
tour. Correct hair dressing can make
a face which may be too round or too
long have the appearance OF being oval.
As your nose is long, make sure that
you do not have the black hair arranged
on level with the nose or 1t will appear
still longer. Try arranging the back
hair in two coils at the nape of the
neck. Arrange the front well OF the
forehead and have the side hair in wide,
soft waves held close to the head so
that your face does not appear still
more round.
AS you are not tall, should think
you could wear your hair in enc Of the
very newest coiffures, which is to part 1t
just little OF center (about an inch)
and then arrange the top waves rather
high in the center. This adds height
and also helps make a round facs APP

Il know he couldn't have been up

For days he studied over it. but
without finding a solution. Finally he
gave up thinking about it. deciding
that it was a puzzle that never would
be solved. It was couple of weeks
later that as he stood back of the barn
looking of across the Green Meadows
he saw Redshoulder alight in the top
of a tree He had seen Redshoulder
there often. 1t was a favorite perch
of RedShoulder's. From it he could
look down on the Green Meadows and

no fear that they would take any Of

Redshoulder was flying in line that

Snake. He caught it again in the
grass. and this time the Snake was dead

Household Methods
By BETSY cALLIsTER.

IT would appreciate very much your
sending me suggestions for childs
third birthday-games, menu. etc. "
MRS. H. r.
Most 3-year-olds nowadays are kept
On a regular meal schedule, and mothers
do not like to give them between meals.
Even for somewhat older children it is
usually best to have the refreshments
come at regular meal time. If most Of
the children invited have their supper
at $50 or 6 o'clock, you could have the
party set for $3.50 or o'clock and serve
refreshments at $50 or O'Clock. Then
there should be milk and hot cereal
or whatever most OF the children are
accustomed to, with ice cream and sim
pie cake for dessert. If the milk and
cereal is served on an attractive deco
rated table, with a swapping cracker or
small favor for each child, they will
enjoy it quite as much as richer dishes,
which would not be good for them.
Children of 3 are too young to play
games without good deal of leading,
and even then only the simplest games
can be carried out successfully. If you
have a piano. be sure to have some older
guest who will play simple marching
tunes for them, or have phonograph
with marching tunes. If you cannot
arrange that, you can probably manage
to provide music by singing the familiar
nursery tunes for them. Play ring
around-a-rosy and London bridge,
choosing older children to take the part
of the bridge If the little ones do not
quite understand what it is all about.
Children like to march to music, ana
you can entertain them by arranging
marching drills. in which they march
single file, and then two by two. 1t is
good plan to alternate active games
or drills with quiet ones. so that they
become neither too excited nor too rest
less. For the quiet pastimeS give them
colored papers and ask them to fold
them. Or give each paper and few
crayons and let them draw pictures.
For one of the active games let them
hunt for peanuts hidden about the
room. 1t is best to explain to the chil-
dren that the peanuts are to be taken
home, as most mothers would not care
to have 3-year-olds eat them.

A steel manufacturing plant has
chemists nits staff, usually men, who
test each lot Of steel TO see II It Is right.
Canning companies and makers Of all
kinds Of food products have STATS Of
chemists who test each batch Of the
product before it Is packed. Big weav-
ing mills have chemists to test the dyes
which they use in their fabrics. Manu-
facturers Of cold creams and face pow
ders and other cosmetics have chemists
to make sure that the product is always
even.
This Is the kind Of work which pays
about $25 q week. It is more or less
mechanical and doesn't vary much from
day to day. That is why 1t doesn't pay
any more. Sometimes where the analy-
ses are more difacult it pays $35 to $50
q week
Hospitals, naturally, have chemists 70
make all kinds Of tests These get about
the same pay as those In Industrial es-
adjustments, but the work is rather
more interesting.
For women who do medical chemistry
there is a fine opportunity. II you do
that, you may perhaps discover some
new cure or some secret of the human
body-something which will be Of In
calculable value to the world
II you are more commercially mind

Seven years ago when I first mar

of beauty, but now at the venerable age
of 81, find myselkrapidlX degenerating
into a complacent married woman. No,
not very placid for my soul is indeed re-
bellious. However, let me tell you about
myself.
First of all, am feet 8 inches and
I weigh about 129 pounds. do not
look fat because have no habby flesh
and I do q great deal of walking. My
best points are my eyes and my hair.
My eyes are deep brown, almond shaped
and fringed with heavy, curly black
eyelashes The brows are black and
arched; the hair is dark brown with q
reddish tinge, naturally wavy and long.
But that is all. My skin Is sallow,
although it does not look bad when I
use a bit of rouge. My nose Is long,
uuite-but straight; face round, chin
has faint cleft in it.
Here I am with nice hair and, how
ever comb it, it looks terrible. Just
now, wear 1t parted on the right side
with bun in the back and 1t Is not be-
coming, Could you help me?, would
like to know how to bring out my best
features and what colors would be be-
coming. Thank you. MRS. M. NJ.
Answer.-It is just about the time
they reach the venerable age Of 27''
that many women begin to realize that
they are losing their beauty which was
theirs in the teens or early 20s. IL IS
then that little study Of their good
points (such as you have given) and
just little more attention to daily care
of the skin, hair, ETC.. will bring out
the LONELINESS which Delapgs to ma
turity. Any one with SO many claims
to beauty as you seem to have should
be verv grateful

and wall spaces for such furniture. All
architects of experience always allow
these spaces for bedsteads in chambers,
sideboards in dining rooms and usually
at least one long space In living room
for piano or sofa.
If ready-made plans are used the
prospective owner must keep these ar
ticles OF furniture in mind. Architects
plans are bit confusing to the mex
perienced. Rooms appear to be salts
factorily large until actual measure
ments are looked UP. These may sur
prise you, as usually the scale gives TO
the eye larger floor spaces, on paper, and
larger wall spaces than will result in
finished dwellings. This is due to the
fact that plans are fiat. No height Of
walls or ceiling Enclosures are drawn in.
When consulting plans and estab-
fishing in your mind the figure meas
urements of floor space, measure the
size of the rooms in which you are now
living. Compare these figures with
those on the plan and you viii get q
good idea of the size of new rooms
and whether they are longer o. wider
than the old ones.

The season for changing residences is
at hand. While this involves great
labor on the part of the homemaker,
when the new home is an improvement
on the old, the work has its pleasant
side. It is when moving into smaller
and less adequate quarters than the
present one that the task presents ma
terial difficulties and mental perplexi-
ties. In each instance Suiting the fur
niture one owns to rooms of proportions
varying from those in which it now
stands presents problems.
Unless the furniture was considered
when selecting the new residence, OBJ
stacles almost unsurmountable may
have to be dealt with. The furnishings
that must be made to fit into new sur
roundings should always be well In
mind, therefore, whenever family de-
cides to move.
II a house is being built for new
owner the architect should be &C
quainted with the fact that certain
definite large pieces of furniture are to
go In certain rooms He will then draw
his plans to allow for adequate moor
