THIS dress and jacket ensemble Is
real find for the busy woman
who wants to look chic and well
dressed when her days work is done.
Midsummer clothes are always COM
fortably cool when they are made from
the minimum of yardage. For days,
when thermometers are soaring, and
not gust of wind blowing, the sleeve
less dress without collar wins.
The model pictured puts up pretty
sophisticated front, despite its scant
yardage and limited seamlines.
The dress features deep yoke
which dips to the waistline in the
back, and in the front follows point
ed outline. Twin slashes few inches
below the neckline accommodate q
ribbon bow of any color you wish to
use. Most women like several differ
ent ones to which they match their
accessories. Attention is called to the
fullness at the center front and back.
This is an outstanding detail of the
new Summer fashions and Is one
reason why central seamings are so
popular.
This ensemble is right in silk
shantung, linen, cotton or thin wool
The bow is always of ribbon.

an excellent choice. In this size and
shape they may be used for sand

one, and tall glasses with pitcher
Of iced tea would not overcrowd it.

petent business girl because she isn't

DOROTHY DIX.
\ \ X
nEAR MISS DIX-My husband and
have been married three
months. He wishes to get q larger
place this Spring, so that his mother
can live with us for q while, but 1t
seems so soon after being married
to have any one live with us. My
other-in-law rents out her old home,
and is living with one Of her married
daughters. My husband has been
most generous about sending her
money for the last IS years, and
see no reason for the great rush until
after We are more settled, which will
probably be this Fall. / don't want
to hurt my husbands feelings. Maybe
am just selfish. MRS. BRIDE.
Answer: I think you are being
selfish and that If you wait to have
your mother-in-law come to stay
with you until you are pining for her
society she will never come at all.
You want to put it of now until
Fall. When Fall comes you will want
to put it of until Spring. Then you
will think 1t will be more convenient
in the Summer, and when that comes
you will defer it indefinitely.
lOF COURSE, every young couple
~ would rather be by themselves.
That Is perfectly. natural and no re-
Election whatever upon mother-in-
law. You would feel the same way
about your own mother. It is Just
that husband and wife who love
each other very much are sufficient
unto themselves and any third party
is in the way.
But the more you indulge in this
sweet SelflshneSS, the more 1t grows
upon you, until 1t turns a virtue into
vice. For, after all, we cannot live
to ourselves alone. We have obliga-
tions to others, and especially we
have family obligations that are debts
OF honor that we cannot shirk.
lnNE Of these is to your husbands
mother. You cannot, without being
cruel, shut her out of your house and
separate her son from her. She loves
him no less than you do. She desires
to be with him, just to look at him,
even as you do. If he Is your beloved
husband, he is still her baby and, no
matter how willingly she has given
him to you. his going has left blank
in her life. So don't begrudge fer
little visit now and then.
And remember that nothing a wife
ever does so endears her to her hus-
band as for her to be sweet and
gracious to his mother. When a
man marries, his most fervent prayer
Is that his wife and mother will get
along together and like each other.
and when this happens and his wife
tries to be a real daughter to his
mother, he feels that Heaven has, in
deed, blessed him beyond his deserts
In giving him a wife whose price is
above rules. DOROTHY DIX.

At Dessert
And Coffee
Hostess May Receive
Small Group in
Bridge Party.

BY EDITH M. BARBER.

ZONE is the fashioned card
party with its elaborate refresh
ments, served late in the afternoon, at
the hour best suited to ruin appetites
for dinner. After bridge you will now
find tea with thin bread and butter
or dainty sandwiches and-sometimes
little cakes. Sometimes coffee as
we'll as tea will be served
Sometimes hostesses offer highballs,
cocktails or sherry, especially If the
playing runs into the late afternoon.
With these we serve olives, potato
chips, savory canapes and salted nuts.
You may gracefully get by with merely
a cup or glass Of liquid, If you prefer
to reserve the satisfaction of your
appetite until dinner. These refresh
ments are always served nowadays
from a central table. No longer are
the bridge tables covered with "sets"
which were made particularly for this
purpose.
Another plan which is popular just
now Is to ask your guests to come
about 1:30, or even after dinner for
dessert and coffee. This is practical
plan for small bridge groups which
meet weekly. Each hostess vies with
the others in providing an interesting
and flavorful sweet. Now that straw
berries are so delicious, individual
shortcakes, known as carnations, or
strawberry cream pie, the recipe for
which gave you few weeks ago, will
be welcome. A meringue glace using
vanilla ice cream and a garnish Of
strawberries with the meringue is an
other suggestion. And what could
be better than strawberries and fresh
pineapple, sugared and favored with
one of the cordia1s such as Benedictine
or curacao? Waferlike cakes may be
offered with this. You may also make
your own baked alaska, which always
intrigues guests to have not attempted
to make it themselves. Lemon chiffon
pie Is another suggestion.
Cheese and Anchovy Canape.
Force American cheese through a
strainer, season with table sauce and
paprika. Mix with half as much but
ter. Spread on toast or crackers, put
small pieces of anchovy f1llets across
them and broil them until the cheese
meltS.
Lemon Chiffon Pie.
One-half package lemon favored
gelatin.
One-half cup boiling water.
-Four egg yolks.
One-half cup sugar.
One lemon, grated rind and juice.
-Four egg whites.
One-half teaspoon salt.
One-half cup sugar..
Whipped cream.
Dry, grated macaroons.
Dissolve gelatin. Cook egg yolks
with sugar, lemon rind and juice until
like custard. Add gelatin mixture and
cool. When thick and smooth, but
not set, fold in egg whites whipped to
stiff meringue with the salt and
sugar. Pour into a large baked pastry
shell and chill. Cover top with I'M
sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle
with grated macaroon crumbs.

Loss
Has Effect
On Senses
BY JAMES w. BARTON. M. ID.


At THE Olympic games, held at
"A Los Angeles, there was consider
able interest and active discussion
about the methods of the japanese
athletes, whose efforts were said to be
reinforced by the use Of oxygen.
There isn't any question, OF course,
but that we all do better work II we
are outdoors or in well-ventilated
room where we are getting a good
supply of oxygen. If we are very
tired, the blood is likely to be little
short of oxygen; If we rest for a
while, thus not using so much oxygen,
the blood gradually gets back its
usual amount Of oxygen.
And now, according to studies COM
pleted by DR.. Ernst Gellhorn and
Irwin G. Spiesman Of the University
of Illinois, a slight decrease in the
oxygen supply Of the body. such as
aviators experience, profoundly in
f1uences hearing, seeing and the sense
of balance.
persons who breathe air contain
ing only half as much oxygen as exists
in the ordinary air at sea level suffer
so great q loss in the power Of critical
Judgment that adults-unusually in
telligent ones, too-will argue whether
four times four is 16, and will
become most annoyed with one an
other because Of their inability to
agree. A professor in university,
under the influence Of air deprived
Of some Of its oxygen, insisted that
four times four Is IL.
Thus also an individual usually
mild hammered and of gentle dispo-
sition may fly into rage on the
slightest provocation while under the
influence Of air deprived Of some CT
its oxygen.
Two methods Of administering this
air with its lessened amount Of oxygen
are used. Some persons are taken
into q room In which the oxygen Of
the air has been reduced; others
breathe through q tube connected
with q tank filed with thin" air
air with less than the usual amount
of oxygen. The effects Of this thin
air often continue as long as is or
20 minutes.
#, then, you and I want to do some
clear thinking, we should not try
to do 1t in an unventilated room, nor
should we try to do constructive men
tai work while tired or after a heavy
meal.

couple themselves acquire their own
furniture. Thus, the friend or rela-
tive may choose an occasional odd
piece of furniture, bit OF lovely OLD
silver or exquisite linen of the more
luxurious type, and know that it will
fit into the general scheme of things
perfectly.
ON THE other hand, if the prospec-
" tive bride and bridegroom are 60

most of her own housework-there Is

~ EAR MISS LEEDS-In a re-
cent article you mentioned
care of the eyes as being most
- essential to the girl Of teen
age. Have you anything to
recommend? Also, what can do for
short eyelashes other than vaseline?
It is so slow process. (2) Is there
any exercise for the development Of
the bust? I am IS. B. AL
Answer-The care of the eyes in
wolves protecting them from misuse
and strain. Do not read in poor
light or in a cramped position with
shoulders rounded and head bent over.
Do not read in bed or when riding in
a trolley or bus. When writing, place
yourself so that the light comes over
your left shoulder. Notice the distance
from your eyes at which you hold
book for reading; If this distance Is
less than IL inches you should have
your eyes examined. If you suffer
from headaches or have premature
eye wrinkles, you should have an eye
examination. If you need glasses,
wear them. When doing close work
or studying, look up at intervals and
rest your eyes on objects at least 20
feet away. Protect your eyes from the
glare Of the sun at the SeaShore or on
sparkling snow or from excessive re-
fiected light from other sources by
wearing tinted glasses. Maintain good
general health. The eyes soon reflect
a lowered state Of physical fitness.
Do not read for hours at stretch. If
your eyes feel tired or dusty, bathe
them with boric acid solution or other
eye wash. Keep up the applications
of vaseline, but do not expect that
you can make naturally short lashes
long and curling by any method what
Soever. The vaseline is as quick and
effective as anything you might use.

SuperfIuous Hair.
Dear Miss Leeds-I am bothered
with hair about one-half inch long on
my arms and it is rather thick. It
appears to be getting darker. Would
q depilatory make them grow in
darker and thicker? co My eyelashes
are too thin and come out easily.
How can I make them thick and long?
v. B.
Answer-The hairs have a tendency
to grow thicker and darker whether
you use a depilatory or not, so you
might as well use one If you admire
hairless arms. Another alternative Is
to bleach the hairs with mixture Of
one-half tablespoonful ammonia to six
tablespoonfuls peroxide. (O Scanty,
falling lashes suggest poor general
health or eye strain. Check up on
these two points. II you have in
herited short lashes, nothing you can
put on them will make them long.
Yours will probably be improved to
some extent, however, by daily ap-
plication Of some per cent yellow
oxide of mercury. In q months time
you should notice results.
