When You Reduce.

Remember, when you go in for re-
ducing your weight, that one of the
chief things is to get plenty of normal
exercise, plenty of fresh air, plenty Of
sleep and plenty to eat.
Plenty of sleep doesn't mean lolling
in bed until noon every day. 1t means
seven hours. at least, of good, sound
sleep in a room full of air, cool in
Winter.
Plenty of food doesn't mean lunch
con consisting of lobster salad, hot bis
cults, iced chocolate with whipped
cream and an eclair. But it may mean
a big bowl of crackers and milk or a
big dish of vegetable salad with Gear
tea. waters and cream cheese. or crop
and some spinach, with baked apple
for dessert.
You yourself can plan out reducing
diet. But don't, unless you are doing
so under a doctors core, try to take a
cup of clear coffee and al orange for
breakfast, nothing for luncheon and a
chop and some lemon juice for dinner

W.oman's Height
Is Uninportant

One of the most absurd things for
o woman to fret about is her height.
It is something that you cannot pos
sibly alter and besides whether a wom-
an is tall or short has rothing what
ever to do with her looks.
The short woman worries because
abe thinks she looks insignificant and
the tall woman complains because she
thinks her height makes her awkward
and conspicuous and the woman who
Is about feet writes lamenting that
she is neither tall enough to be
statuesque nor short enough to be pc
tite.
The important thing is to have the
right proportions. The only time the
short woman need worry IS when she
allows herself to become heavy and
consequently look dumpy. The eX-
tremely tall woman should avoid under
weight as conscientiously as she does
overweight. It is a mistake to think
that the tall woman can stand extra
weight. True, she is not in danger of
looking dumpy, but she Is in danger
of looking Overwhelmingly large. On
the other hand she should avoid under
weight-because it causes her to look
gaWky.
Any magnetic woman has a way of
making people feel that her height,
whatever 1t Is, is precisely right.

Wider Sleeves

Sleeves are growing wider below the
elbow and in the advanced French
fashions coat sleeves achieve this de-
sirable width in many ways.
Sometimes there is slight puff ex-
tending from the elbow to within few
inches OF the wrist sometimes the sleeve
flares slightly all the way down to the
wrist and sometimes there are muf-
like cuffs of fat fur from the wrist
nearly to the elbow.
The effect Of this greater width below

~ URING the midSeason collec-
tons a number of significant
details emerge from the many

prominence may be given them either
by their simultaneous appearance in

the colors that seem destined for IA

white combinations are still in the lead,
numerically speaking, but they no
longer seem the universal favorites they
have been for the last three years, In
spite of the cheerful whoopee about
this or that color which has been raised
each season.
Numerically speaking, there may be
no more color in the collections. as q

certain colors that seem highly in

Buttonhole flowers are very definitely
in the mode.

finished unless you have some sort of
flower on the lapel. Sometimes this
flower is made of patent leather, in

leather may trim the hat. Patent
leather flowers have, of course, the
great recommendation to your notice
that they are durable.
White gardenias, though they are sc

English Liver SavOry

This calls for thin slices of liver cut
into pieces about three inches wide and
four inches long; also for a slice of
bacon for every piece of liver and
very little chopped veal, which is to be
used in making a forcemeat mixture
The forcemeat is made by mixing equal
parts of chopped veal and moist bread
crumbs with an egg, chopped parsley,
mixed herbs or sage and a very little
grated rind. Mix together and add a
very little milk to bind, If necessary.
Now place the slices Of liver in the bot
tom of a we'll creased baking dish,
spread each slice thinly with the force
meat and place on top slice of bacon.
Cover with creased paper, which will
not. however, be needed if you have
cloSe-f1tting top for the baking dish.
Cook for half hour or more and make
a gravy of the drippings that remain in
the pan.
