That's what I've done about
the photograph you see here.
I've run down the clothes, and
found them we'll worth talking
about.
morn Till Night"
This same photograph ap-
peared in a popular fashion
magazine the middle of the
month. It describes the dress
on the left as "slim, superbly
built, sophisticated"
It is all of those things, and
as they say, the sort you can
wear from morn till night with
ease and distinction. To quote
again, notice the nicely of tall
oring in the trim shoulder line
and skirt pleating.
1t comes in a corded sheer
silk material, and the collar is
detachable. The price is $29,50
and the colors black, brown,
uoV VI S1CC11.
A Piquant Bow
On the right Is a sheer wool
dress, excellent for business,
for shopping both before you
put a coat on, and under a coat
when cold weather comes.
Taffeta with embroidered dots
makes the scarf, which is tied
in a bow, and lends quite a
bit Of dash to the frock.
The details don't show up
very well, but they're simple as
they should be, for it's a coat
dress, wrapped we'll around and
held by a belt. It is also
$29.50 and comes in black,
brown, green or rust.
Mother and Daughter
But the best news of all about
these dresses, is that both of
them come in both women's and
misses sizes.
They are youthful a plenty for
the girl of college, but if her
mother chooses to wear one Of
them, she may have it in an
other color, in her own size.
They run from IA to A. The
store in town that carries them
won't have all sizes in all colors,

Even the thought of it is sooth-
ing to the mind.
That we should give way to
our runaway desires once in q
while goes without saying. Flight
often gives us a new perspective;
it renews our energy and hopes.
We come back to the task re-
freshed and buoyant.
An occasional holiday, how
ever, is something quite diff
ferent from giving way to
wanderlust too often and for
too long a period.
Definite and habitual wander
lust should be considered abb
normal. And as such it requires
treatment.
In children the wanderlust
tendency is usually accompanied
by other signs of mental or
emotional popularity, or both.
Often these children are hard to
manage and usually they show
little affection for their parents.
Cruelty to animals and even to
playmates is not uncommonly
encountered. Usually also these
children are high-strung and
nervous.
AbnOrmalities
Sometimes wanderlust is
merely a symptom of a feeble
minded state. Here the treat
ment consists in attempting to
improve the defective mind that
is the basis cause.
Where no mental abnormality
exists, and this applies to adults
as well as to children. the mind
Of the wanderlust victim should
be analyzed. Usually it is pos
sible to bring to light uncon'
scious mechanisms that act as
compulsions and lead the indi-
vidual to do things against his
will.
Children who have Wanderlust
tendencies should not be allowed
to read too many books of ad-
venture, especially those of the
penny dreadful" type. These
stories stir them up too much
and often they constitute a pre-.
cipitating cause for a runaway
attempt.
Rough play out of doors Is an
excellent antidote for wander
lust as are also long hikes, boys
camps and the Boy Scout and
Camp Fire Girls Associations.

Helpful Hints for
Housewives

Housekeepers sometimes COM
plain that mint jelly fades in
color after making. Generally
speaking, aniline or coal tar
colorings hold their color after
use. However, If you are un-
certain as to whether or not
the color you are using will
hold it's color in mint jelly, put
y tablespoon vinegar and a
trace of the green coloring to
be tested in a spoon and warm
gently over the fire. If the
green color fades to a yellow
green it should not be used.
In buying wash cloths and
towels for the family choose
assorted colors in borders or
stripes; then each person will
know his own.

Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman =

This procedure was entirely
correct, since, as you say, you
do not consider yourself a close
friend of hers. Apparently she
invited only her close friends
to the announcement party,
and it was very gracious and
friendly of her to write you a
note telling you of her engage
ment.
Since this friend chose the
form of a letter to inform you
of her engagement, the correct
thing for you to do is to choose
the form that follows suit"
An engagement present Is
not necessary. Usually close
relatives and close friends give
an engagement present, but in
your case the giving of a gift
would, I think, seem a bit
forced,

A good hat to wear with your
sports-like knitted clothes, your
sports dresses, and your tailored
street clothes, is this gray felt.
A black patent leather band
goes round the very shallow
crown, and crossed tucks on top
the crown keep it from looking
too flat. It Is a becoming shape,
and will look youthful on almost
anybody. For information, call
Wilma Laville.
Of course, but they can order
your size for you if you want
them to.
For the name of the store
where you can find these
dresses, write Miss LavilIe in

envelope, or call District $500,

Fashion Fads and
Fancies
By ALICE ALDEN

The call for dinner hats is be-
ing heard in almost every shop.
Nice for evening wear is a cap
of rust brown chiffon velvet
with an open peak. The gold
embroidery that forms a border
on the hat marks the points Of
the peak, and there is a brown
veil embroidered with gold
thread.
Why not a tunic costume as a
change from dress or ordinary
blouse and skirt fashions? A
nice idea is the long, fitted
tunic of white bengaline, with a
skirt of bengaline in black.

Dr.. Bisch S Daily
Diet Hint

Milk should never be "gulped
down." In fact, child specialists
sometimes advise their patients
to Chew their milk"-that is, to
mouth it. The advice is excel
lent for adults as we'll. A safe
plan is to sip milk. Then the
coagulated Jumps in the stom-
ach are small and are readily
acted upon by digestive secre-
tions. Milk should be looked
upon as food rather than as a
beverage to quench thirst.

Engagement Announcement
80" Mrs. Beeckman:
A few years ago I was very
friendly with g girl and, grad
ually we became less intimate,
despite the fact that she lives
only one block away from me.
Last week she became engaged
to a young man who lives
three houses away from mine.
The event was celebrated with
a supper. A few invited guests
attended. I was not listed
among them. Now, one week
after the occasion, I have re-
ceived an announcement
through the mail. Is this the
proper procedure?
How should I acknowledge
this letter? Shall I call her on
the telephone and wish her
well?" Is a gift obligatory?

Manicure

Question In getting the
proper polish on my nails they
get too hot for comfort. I must
be doing something wrong
E. r.
Answer-You are, Don't rub
the buffer back and forth across
the top of the nail. Buff one
half of the nail on each finger
and then go back and buff the
other half. In this way a beau
tiful luster is obtained and no
unnecessary friction set up. Of
course, the most effective
method, and the easiest way Of
obtaining polish on the nails is
by the use of liquid polish,
which you put on with a brush.

Old Lines

Question: My neck is yellow
looking and is developing lines
and wrinkles. What can 1 do?
F. A.
Answer: Apply a greasy cold
cream, masSaging it in gently
and lightly. Be sure that you
massage lightly so the tiny Or
gans in the throat will not be
injured. Use upward and out
ward movements. In this way
muscles are lifted and helped,
thus preventing sagging. Spend
at least five minutes on this
operation and then remove the
excess cream with tissues. Next
apply a lemon base bleaching
cream, massaging in well. Next
apply your powder base. Keep
this treatment up and you will
soon notice an improvement.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Split E-ailS.

Split E-ails.
CsueStiOn-My nails are very
soft, and seem to peel all
the time. They split in layers.
I'd really like to have pretty
nails, and was wondering
whether there's anything I
could do to remedy this condi-
tion.-F. A.
Answer-The condition Of
the nails of which you COM
plain may be due to some
deficiency in your diet, or
to some internal disorder,
concerning which you should
see a physician. Oiling the
cuticle, however, is help
full in correcting the condi-
ton of the nails. Soak your
finger tips in warmed olive oil
several times a week. In ad-
dition, insert generous amount
of cold cream or nourishing
cream under each nail nightly
before you retire. Also, if you
apply two or three coats Of a
good, heavy liquid nail polish
to your nails, it will help to
prevent the layers from peeling.
Large Hips
Question: / am very large
through my waist and hips.
What exercises would you ad.
vice to bring them down?
Thanking you very much.
MRS. w. HI. M.
Answer: There's an exercise
which might be good for you.
Lie flat on your back with your
arms outStretched to the sides.
Bring the left knee up, circle
it to the right four times, to
the left four times, and down.
Bring the right knee up and
circle it likewise. Then bring
both knees up, circle them to
the left four times, then to the
right four times, and down.
The bicycle exercise is excellent
also.

More than $4,000 stockholders of the
Puget Sound Power g. Light Company
ttwi-thirds of them residents of the
State of Washington are this week
receiving copies of the company's an
nual report for 1882, Just released by
President Frank Mclaughlin. This
pile of SO mail bags, surmounted by
two of the young ladies who have just
supervised the big Job of mailing, is
ready for Postmaster General Farley's
mail trucks.
The newest report to stockholders is
an economically presented record of
the company's activities, 20 pages;
printed on over two tons of paper
made in the state Of Washington.
Along with 1t went pamphlet of ad-
ded information to stockholders and
a personal letter from Mr.. McLaugh-
lin-all on Washington paper.
In this report President Mclaughlin
brings out interesting facts regarding
the companys tax payments in sup
port of the schools and various gov
eminent functions. he says:
THE company's assessment for the
cost of government In the form Of
taxes continues to rise. This is EVIL
denced by an increase in 1882 taxes OF
IA percent over 1891 and 27.l percent
over 1880. Last year the company paid
taxes amounting to slll4,497 of which
$1.078,285 represents taxes levied
within the State Of Washington. This
latter figure is equivalent to percent
Of the company's gross earnings, Since

its organization ir 1912 the company
has paid in taxes over $ls,OOO,oOO."
In discussing the lowering cost OF
electricity, Mr.. Mclaughlin pointed
out:
1.-THE rate simplification program
started in 1881, was continued
throughout 1882. A general reduction
in residence and farm ratessssswas
made on January l, 1882, and like
general reduction in commercial light
ing rates on March /, 1882. Uniform
street lighting and municipal water
pumping schedules were adopted early
in the year. Our rates are much lower
than the average throughout the
country and are as low as in any COM
parable area anywhere. The COM
pany's residence and farm customers
today pay on an average of less than
3 cents per kilowatt hour for their
electricity. This is decrease Of 70
percent as compared with the average
rate paid for similar services in 1918
During the same period, the per capita
tax burden In the State Of Washing
ton increased $50 per cent"
In addition to the stockholders, the
report goes to noteholders, bond
holders, and important investment
houses throughout the country, as
well as To many large insurance COM
panies whose investment In Puget
Sound Power g. Light securities makes
the report OF direct or indirect inter-
est to large segment of the popula-
ton.
