so obvious that these will add to
her apparent size. Yet that is
exactly what so many women
who should know better do
square necklines, square shoul-
der yokes and straight-cut bo-
leros being some of the most
common crimes committed
against the cause of shapeliness.
Curved and rounded lines, such
as oval necklines. round neck
laceS, bib collars, etc, also focus
attention upon their least at
tractive feature.
COncealing Folds
For the top-heavy type Of
woman, the deep v neckline is the
best bet, particularly if the low
est point of the v comes below
the largest part of the figure.
Jabots and reverS that follow
this line are also good, since
their soft folds conceal the
actual outline of the bust.
Light or bright colored blouseS
have a way Of exaggerating the
above-the-equatorial zone, espe-
cially if worn with a dark skirt.
Solid -colored frocks are a better
balancing medium, particularly
since printed or figured fabrics
of any sort have a tendency to
increase apparent size.

your skin is oily. But above all
use the fragrant baby soap we
have mentioned.
The oil which passes from
the gland in the skin through
a tiny pore, or a large one as
the case may be, lubricates the
skin and is furnished by nature
to protect the skin from wind
and dust.
The too oily skin, if neglected
will be accompanied by large
pores and a tendency toward
pinpleS and acne and that is
why it is important to keep it
thoroughly cleanSed and toned

a good aStringent. So write in,

the product we find so efficient.

Mild Soap Is Best
For Oily
Skins
By LISA DUMONT

Women with heavy oily skins
should steer away from creams
for cleansing the skin, and
should make a general practice
Of using soap and warm water.
But there are Soaps-and soaps,
and many are too harsh for IA
cial use.
We have, however, discovered
a marvellous baby soap, put UP
by the makers of many famous
products dedicated especially to
the infant world. And their
trade name is synonymous with
high grade toilet goods.
Soothing
Made especially for a baby
skin, this soap naturally con-
tainS mild and soothing ingre-
dientS, wonderfully adapted to
suit any type of skin.
Soap used on an oily skin
should not be the medicated va
riety, but just a plain facial
brand Of the delicate type we
have mentioned above. Con.

ment just as often as the oil

this simple treatment with an
occasional application of q
cleansing cream, but it must be
removed entirely with tissues.

stimulate circulation and tone
the tissues. Place cracked ice

First and foremost, it's a
suit season. Practically every
house showed the suit in one
or more form. just running
through the reports of the
openings affirmS this fashion
very decidedly.
Suits Favored
Worth shows youthful suits
in contrasting materials. Cha
mel favorS the redingote. Patou
makes ensembles for town wear
with dress and three-quarter
coat. Schiapareli has done
much with suits of various
sorts, and is doing more. And
so on through the list.
Necklines are slowly and
gradually reversing their high
up-in.front attitude. Some de-
signers are slashing them at
the throat. Others lowering
them just a little. Some are
frankly showing open neck
lines, especially for afternoon.
Oriental Influence
The Oriental influence Is
seen here and there too, in
hats. jackets, in tunics and in
details and coloring. Big sailor
hats have peaked crowns,
pretty much like a coolies hat.
Tunics are full below the
waist in many cases, and the
"windblown" silhouette is still
being used by Schiaparelli but
now in a different downward
direction, and called the "ty-
phoon silhouette"
Skirts are Split
Evening skirts are shorter in
front at a great many houses,
particularly at Molyneux', which
reminds me that he has tried
very decidedly to introduce un-
even hemlineS for some time.

Even street skirts are slit a
little by one or two designers,
if they are too tight for walk

ticularly true of skirts with
fairly tailored suits.
Interesting COlOrs
Colors are almost too varied
to summarize at the present.

is shown, however, and it looks

penings and may be beginning
to make up stories or games.
He may like to sing.
He will be beginning to like

should be practically over. His
play with toys will have become
more imaginative.
He should be able to button
and unbutton his clothes.
The average child will weigh

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Just
as the straight-and-narrow sis
ters have ways and means OF
overcoming their defect, so has
the full-chested woman a few
tricks of her own for conform
ing to Fashions mold. In fact,
no woman need suffer from too
much frontage" once she
knows the ''how" of fitting fash
ions to her type.
Since the woman who bulks
large above the belt-line is very
often the same one who is as
lim-hipped as Follies girl, the
first step is to reduce the prom
inence of the bust by building
up the apparent size of the hips.
Flared Skirt
Sheath -skirted frocks which
result in a pronounced contrast
between the upper and lower
parts of the figure only accen-
tuate the very effect you are
trying to avoid. Here the flared
skirt can be a great help in bal
ancing the figure and prevent
ing that depressing dent at the
diaphragm.
It seems unnecessary to tell a
woman in search of slenderneSs
that she should not wear lines
that cut across her figure-it is

Your Boundaries
No twist or qirk Of circumstances,
No mandates old or new.
No subtle error, no mischance
Make boundaries for you!
You make the roadway smooth
and wide
Or rear the frowning wall;
Your will DEGREES the ebbing tide
Or full, your will is all.
No friend can tear the wall away.
No foe can shut you in;
Wide. wide the realms where
some feet stray,
Gr2at heights some spirits win.
For near or far, or high or low.
You, only. set your goal;
And all the boundaries you know
Are fashioned by your soul.

It. When they show signs Of
being big and strong they are
put outside in a little pen.
The general idea Of most peo-
pie that turkeys die if they get
their feet wet is false. Mrs.
Robinson says that "they die
when it rains because their
noses are on top Of their beaks,
and the rain rains in, and they
drown" AS the turkey grows
older he is turned into a field
where he can find plenty Of
shoppers-his favorite food,
and thus spends his summer in
idle amusement.
Alas, fall comes around too
soon and he is placed in a small
pen. He doesn't suspect any
thing yet. 'Webley" turkeys
are fed for a month before mar
keting on grain, but at II
O'Clock and at tea time they are
given raisinS, celery and all the
peanuts they want. The fatteSt
turkeys are brought to be killed.
At "Webley" even this opera
tion is kindly done. Here is the
description in Mrs: Robinson'S
own words:
''The turkey by this time is
suspicious, but his beak is
opened and he is given two big
tablespoons Of whisky.
''He gulpS, sits there a mo-
ment, then q great sense Of
warmth and peace comes over
him, his features relax into a
benign and sometimes foolish,
smile, and he falls over gently
on his side. He is then hung
up by his legs to a rope, and q
thin knife Is stuck in his brain.
He bleeds, and never knows.
'The reason that my turkeys
are 50 tender Is that they are
completely relaxed when killed
no chasing, no hurry, no fear.
The Mexicans always kill their
fowl that way"
Having been lucky enough to
eat some Of the "Webley" tur-
keys, I can certainly vouch for
the result!
Here is the recipe for roasting
the bird:

The two squirrels shortly grew tired out and friendly Scouty said, "No doubt you'd like to have us help you. We will store nuts for a while.
 If someone else will toss them high, I'll climb into the tree and try to store them where you want them" Course this made the two squirrels smile.
 "My goodness. but you're kind" said one. Tt really wil be lots of fun to sit right down and watch you do the work we ought to do. "Just pack the nuts in good and tight, and everything will be all right. We'll crack q great big nut for you to eat, when you arc done"
 
 So, all the Tlnies worked away until one of them cried. "Hurray! We've finished. Now I'd likcSto have that nut we're going to eat "okay." replied or f'lufy Squir- Fci. Al cracking it I'll have n whirl. Twill take me bout n min iite. 70 you Tinics have n seat"
