sight when a visitor comes, for
they've taken on new details,
such as puffed sleeves. that make
them look like a sweater Of
newest design. Stitches have
been improved, pastels are used
instead Of just the few tones,
orchid, gray, white, that used
to be seen. Bed jackets now
no longer deserve that name,
for they are attractive enough
to appear anywhere. The In
terest in knitting that has made
sweaters so popular has ex-
tended to their weaker sisters,
bed jackets. and they, too, have
taken on chic, personality and
color.
Warm Pajama Jackets
Pajama jackets are a new
conner, but they suggest them
selves for other things, too.
They are excellent for the
fashionably inclined VINO must
stay in bed, for either a long
or q short time. We can't say
they are much more attractive
then the quilted bed jacket now
available, for bed jackets art as
clever in quilted editions as
they are when they are knitted.
But the pajama jacket we've
had sketched is smart enough
to go anywhere. It is Chinese,
Of padded silk, with typical
frogs, pockets, and rundown
collar. Think how attractive
it would be topping silk pa
jamas, or just worn when you're
sitting up in bed. It comes in
blue, red or black, and is priced
less than So.

 Two or more vegetables can be combined in a well seasoned jelly to make delicious salad. The jelly acts as an calender and often makes 1t possible to use incredibly small amounts that might otherwise be wasted.
 There is jellied asparagus salad that Is especially good to use when asparagus first comes in the market and is correspondingly scarce and high. All the food value of the vegetable is preserved in the salad and the dish is easy to serve.

 One bunch asparagus, l cup chic- en broth or water, 1 tablespoon minced onion, 1 small carrot, or sprigs parsley, I blade celery, 2 whole cloves, or peppercorns, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon granu- lated gelatine, 4 tablespoons cold water. l cup whipping cream, 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

For the past few weeks Nancy hat been so tired in the evening that il seemed as if she could not stay UT even until the children's bedtime And in the morning she had no de. sire to get up, even though she woke early and turned and tossed. Sht was taking Joan upstairs to bed one evening when she felt wave oi dizziness. She was startled for 8 mo. ment or two, but went about the business of getting her young niece safely into bed.
 She took a warm bath and went to bed with light and entertaining book. She did not read long. but soon doZed off.
 Without saying anything to Peter the next morning she went to the doctor whom she had visited for so many months before her young son was born. She told her story. Let's just take look and think we can settle the question quite easily" said he. It took nothing but careful ex- animation to explain the cause of Nancy's languor.
 You always have stood out in my mind as model patient, Mrs. Page, so don't believe we have any cause to worry. Plenty of fresh air, exer- else out of doors every day, books, music. theater, fairly early hours are on your program.

The carrot should be washed and sliced and the celery cut in dice. Simmer until the asparagus Is tender and the liquid slightly eva porated.

 He pulled the boat across the river and directly into the heart of the deep pool which lay in the shadows on the other side and care- fully lowered a flat stone on the end of chain as an anchor.
 "Ill call up the girls, Bard," said Eddy. Back in minute.''
 He disappeared into the house, and Bard, watching saw that he crossed quickly through and dis appeared into the woods on the upper side.

'What next?" remarked a woman in the babies department cynically. Tt seems wicked to spend so much money on painted furniture and fussy rugs when children are too It, tie to enjoy it anyway"
 And so she passed on and bought solid iron bedstead and some taupe carpet, which she believed not to be so wicked.
 Just why Is it that so many peo- pie associate brightness with laxity, I don't know. If it is a matter of money perhaps we might call ex- travagance a crime, but this lady's purchases cost quite as much or more in the long run, than if she had bought the gay little pink bed and the rug with modernistic toys on it's border.
 We'll, it all boils down to this: Are children ever too little to enjoy beauty as exemplifed by color? No, they are not; even the month-old baby likes pink rattle.
 don't suppose we shall ever know precisely just what relation exists between our actions and the things that surround us, but one thing we do know; we feel happier in sur roundings that interest us. and when we feel happier we behave better.
 Don't Disregard Art
 It isn't extravagant to my mind if the family purse will bear it to make concessions to art when 1t comes to buying special things for the children-for instance, a little plate and bowl and cup, with mer- ry design or colorful one, or a chair and table decorated for a child to love. We shall take it for grant ed that they are in good taste and here must say that we must have an army of real artists at work de- signing correct and lovely things for children. We really do not have to depend on ourselves any more or on them. These artists seem to have caught the spirit of childhood.
 And so, if you are buying a new bed for the baby, or Q bureau for three-year-old Emily. or a tiny din- ing set for the nursery supper, do not feel guilty if you choose dec- orated pieces and don't condemn your neighbor for being extravagant unless she really is.
 A little later you can train down
