 Show Off COiffure
 Remember the importance of accessories. Get a tiny toque that shows off your coiffure to good advantage, or a small, off-the-face hat with pert nose veil. Let your bag match your shoes and wear gloves that will be the envy of the guests.
 The suit can be any color except black. Look at wine reds, yellowish greens, rich gold flecked with brown, vivid blues, rust, gray and mixed tweeds that are rather color full. One nice wedding suit a three-piece-comes in yell low, orange and brown woolen that is rather light weight and very soft. With this, a bride might wear brown vel vet toque, brown suede shoes and bag, natural doeskin gloves and a dressy eggshell blouse.

COOKING MONOTONY
 MAKES DINER BEEF.
Economy Foods Especially Need
 to Be Varied
By MARY K. DAGUE NEA Service Stan Writer


 Maybe husbands don't leave hame entirely because of that, but an irritating tendency to present the too-familiar dish in the too obvious way certainly will never help family harmony. And the worst of it is, monotony is fre- qnently sheer laZiness.
 Hamburger stead is nutritious dish that appears with too little variation in many families. Con- sidering that 8 beef furnishes com paratively few tender cuts, and these high in price, it's necessary for the home-maker to make the less desirable cuts popular. These cheaper cuts are nutritious and tendons. But used too often in the same way they pail.
 Veal and lamb are good chop ped just as beef is and do their bit otward economical variety in everyday meals.

The good, solid, dependable but energetic and decisive son is likely to make good husband; but the good" boy tied to his mothers apron strings or under his fathers domination is likely to make a good husband only for the dominating woman who will lead him.

Peaches a Ia Monica.

Six large freestone peaches, 6 spoons sugar, IA cup grated al- monds, 1-2 cup benedictine, 1 cup white wine, to 4 tablespoons sugar.
 Wash fruit and split in halves. Remove pit. Take out most of the peach pulp, leaving the skin intact an denough of the flesh to keep the halves firm. Chop the peach pulp and add macaroons which have been put through the fine knife of the food chopper. In case your baker can't supply you with macaroons I found some put up in tin boxes at a fancy growers. To the peach and macaroon mix ture add the slightly beaten yolks of eggs, Tablespoons sugar, al- monds and cordial. Stir wall and fill peach halves with the mixture heaping 1t up. Arrange in bak- ing dish and add wine with re- maining sugar dissolved in 1t. The amount of sugar will be determin- cd by the sweetness of the fruit. Bake in moderately hot oven (400 degrees F.) for thirty minutes. Chill and serve with or without sauce.

 How Starch Is Cooked
 Thorough cooking converts the starch into a form of sugar which can be digested and assimilated. Unless starchy foods contain a large amount of water in their composition, water or some other liquid must be used to cook them. For instance, potatoes are com posed of considerable water and may be baked without the addi- ton of any liquid. Cereals, on the other hand, must have liquid added so that the starch grains can burst when subjected to heat.
 Ground forms of starch, such as cornstarch and the various Hours, are actually. starch grains. When these grains are mixed with a liquid they absorb swater, swell up, burst and form gelatinous mass. This thickens the water around each grain. Careless handling will cause the grains to collect in masses throughout the liquid and the outer grains in each mass will begin to cook.

Beauty Hints :, By lane Heath =.

Graft pair of tweezers on a dainty pair of manicure scissors, and what have you? Twissors, of course. They're the latest type of eyebrow tweezer and are war ranted to do clean and accurate job of grooming because they are so easy to handle and grip so firm ly. In addition they allow the user an unobstructed view not pos sible with ordinary tweezers. A feminine touch is added to the handles, which are tinted in choice of six boudoir colors.
 It is no longer considered smart to pluck the eyebrows into pencil thin lines which destroy the whole character of the face.
 To-day's aim is to retain individ- uality in eye makeup which means following the natural curve of the brows when shaping them. Use twissors daily to remove straggly hairs below the arch and across the bridge of the nose. This will produce that well-groomed appear ance so desired by the fastidious woman.

ABERRANT APPETITE

Eating unnatural things such as ashes, soil, chalk, coal, charcoal laundry starch, clay, wood, is (pencils), plaster, clay, wood, is called pica. None of the things men toned is particularly harmful in itself.
 Some persons have abnormal cravings to chew and swallow things which may be harmful in themselves, such as bits of thread, the ends of their own hair, metal foil, and such foreign substances may accumulate and eventually cause serious obstruction. A child who had the habit of biting the ends of her hair at about the age of 12 years suffered an attack re- sembling acute peritonitis, and at operation one large ball or mass of bits of hair was found In the stomach, another in the intestine.

look at fellow without staring? Why
don't you wink or blink"
For the very good reason that I
have no eyelids," replied Mr.. Black
snake.

lamely.
Then, on sudden thought, he added:
'T should think that Old Mr.. Toad
would be most likely to be in Farmer

II would think the same thing II !
hadn't just come from there" replied
Mr. BIacksnake. 1T has been rather
warm today, and I presume he has
hidden in a cool place. He'll probably
come out about dusk. Until then
think will remain right here. This is
very good place to keep out OF sight
of Farmer Browns Boy"
How time did drag! 1t grew darker
and darker underneath the porch.
Peter was anxious to leave, but some
how he couldn't bring himself TO pass
so close to Mr. Blacksnake as he would
have to do in order to get outside.
Moreover, he was anxious about Old
Mr.. Toad. He couldn't leave WITHOUT
knowing Just what would happen. He
knew that if Old Mr.. Toad should
merely start to dig his way out, Mr..
Blacksnake would know at once where
Old Mr. Toad was and that would be
the end of Old Mr.. Toad.
IF only something would happen"
said Peter to himself, TO get Mr..
Blacksnake out of here. If only some
thing would happen" Suddenly Peter
thought of something. You know,
Peters danger signal is given by
humping the ground with his stout
hind feet. He would give that signal
now. Perhaps Old Mr.. Toad would
understand him.
So Peter thumped twice. They we're
good, hard thumpS. Mr. Blacksnake
raised his head. What are you doing
that for? he hiSSed.
Peter said nothing.

The Romance of Your Name.
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.
Fnxrrnft

THE exact origin of this surname Is
uncertain, but it is thought to
have originated from the dwelling OF
some early ancestor near place where
the crafty fox was wont to frequent.
The word croft was applied to q field
or other lands which required some
care and "handicreaft" on the part Of
the owner. Croft appears to have been
popular termination for a number
of well known surnames, such as Hay
croft, Ashcroft, Roycroft, Allcroft,
and many others.
The coat of arms shown here is
accredited to the Yorkshire Foxcrofts,
of which family Daniel, an early mem
ber, was mayor of Leeds. He was the
father of Francis and Thomas Fox
croft, who came to America in the
latter part of the seventeenth CEN
tury and settled in Boston, Mass. Both
brothers became active in the civil
and religious service of their commu-
nifty. Francis was judge OF the Pro-
bate Court and Thomas was pastor OF
the First Church of Boston.
Seals bearing this coat of arms have
been found on various documents
signed by these men. thus confirming
their close connection with the ancient
family of Yorkshire. The arms are
blazoned: Azure, chevron between

There are II species of bluebonnet

know it. Neither did Mr.. Toad know
it. You see, Old Mr.. Toad had buried
himself in the earth right there and
he had done it before Mr.. Blacksnake
appeared.
1T is a good thing Old Mr.. Toad
dug in when he did" thought Peter.
"Yes, sir, it is mighty good thing.
If he hadn't have dug in he would be
down in Mr.. Blacksnake's stomach
now instead of in the ground. Oh,
dear, wouldn't 1t be dreadful if Old
Mr.. Toad should take it into his head
to dig out? He can't know that Mr..
Blacksnake Is here"
So Peter, who was rather fond of
Old Mr.. Toad, was on pins and
needles, as the saying is, for fear that
his old friend would give himself away.
He was afraid, was Peter, not for him
self. but for Old Mr.. Toad.
II haven't been over to the dear Old

What babies?" asked Peter. A little

n YONE Of Beau Brummels friends
were early risers, nor was the
VI Beau himself. But they all
4 managed to be up and dressed
before he was, because it was
the thing to do to foregather at
Brummel's and watch him dress.
The Beau's dressing room had small
chairs all around the walls. In the
center was a larger chair for George
Brummel himself, and a cheval glass.
The First Gentleman of Europe usu-
ally appeared with the more essential
items of his dress already on. He was
then shaved and had his hair trimmed.
A meticulous man, he was the f1rst to
make personal cleanliness fashionable.
Before the Regency, few people
bathed frequently but George estab-
lished the morning bath as an Eng
lish custom. With its advent, the
sale of scents and perfumes fell OIL
alarmingly in London-a not surpris-
ing fact.
He also abolished the fashion Of
wearing a wig, and wore his own hair,
unpowdered and unboundl This dras-
tic change in fashion of over 200
years standing caused furor when
first introduced, but so great was his
influence that it soon became uni
verSal.
OF course, the Beau took far
greater pains with his hair than is
now taken. He had three hairdreSserS
one trimmed the sides, the second
attended the top exclusively. and the
third did the curling and was In
charge OF the toute ensemble.
~ **
WHILE these operations were in
w progress, the assembled gentle
men read Bells, popular sporting
paper of the time, and discussed the
chances of various candidates for the
Derby, the st. Leger, the Cesarewitch
or whatever important race was about
to be run of. They slipped their cof-
fee and snuffed their snuff-and
closely observed every move Of the
Beau and Of his attendants.
OF course, the Beau was piled with
questions and requests for advice, and
some of his remarks have lived to this
udys nc OllIC "lIILCACu q yOuAIS bAH0C
who was boaSting that so magnificent
was his turnout the previous day that
not a soul in all st. James hadn't
turned to observe. Brummel said, IF
anyone turns to observe a man in the
streets, that man, no matter what he
may be wearing, is not well-dresSed." !"
Once a visitor to his rooms noticed
a pile of crumpled cravats in a corner
and inquired of a valet what they
meant. Those, sir" said the valet,
represent our failures"
The cravat was the focal point Of
dress in those days, and probably still
is. 1t was tied in a variety of COM
plicated ways and was made of either
silk or lawn. 1t was Brummel's GUS
tom to tie his cravat himself. though
many dandies had specialist to do
the job for them. (Some houses keep
such specialist today If the cravat
did not look absolutely perfect when
completed, Brummel would never at
tempt to alter it, but pulled it of and
took a fresh one
