Posture Nav
Aid SWagger
FashionType
Youthful Factor Has
Great Influence
For Emphasis.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

YOU'VE heard it before-posture is
- a very important part of true
beauty. Posture makes for physical
perfection Posture, proper posture,
regal carriage transforms an mex
pensive dress, makes it and its wearer
look "a million"
Fashion has long since walked hand
IN hand with beauty. The one cannot
be separated from the other without
both suffering. Now comes the swag-
ger silhouette. Verve and dash in It,.
A beauty that is vibrant in contrast
to the pretty, picturesque princess
fashions. Both demand graceful car
riage, head and shoulders held pride
fully high.
The swagger silhouette. even more
than any other type, demands proud
carriage, graceful movement. Other
wise it falls fat and frIlmpy. The
style in itself is only as lovely as its
wearer is graceful. 1t is essentially
youths fashion. Middle-aged women
had better avoid it unless they happen
to be among the fortunate few who
at 40 have the figure and gait of a
16-year-old.
On a pair Of shoulders properly
poised this new swagger mode be-
comes almost an animate thing. 1t
expresses energy, viaciouSness, courage
and self-respect. On pair OF Shoul-
derS hunched the sWagger silhouette
also becomes hunched, punched, unbe-
coming, burdenSome. Talk about
clothes making the woman-we con-
tend that the woman makes the
clothes!
Posture Test.
Stand before a full length mirror
Pull your head up; your chin should
be in an almost horizontal position,
but should feel natural. See how the
shoulders come along. They just
can't slump when the head is held
high. The chest comes up, too. Now
ali you have to 90 is make sure that
the abdomen is held in and controlled.
Have you ever tried shoulder shrug-
ging. We won't comment on the eXer-
else as a gracious gesture, but we do
know that it helps keep that part Of
the anatomy youthful and graceful.
1t helps to overcome an ugly, round
line.
Arm f1inging and Indian club
swinging exercises are good. too.
Then there's the old reliable walk
ing around the room with book bal
Hnced on the head. That makes one
walk tall. pull up straight to ones
full height.
Walking.
Walking gracefully makes for beauty,
shows off swagger lines. The legs
should swing closely together as you
move, the knees just barely brushing
each other, feet should point straight
ahead, neither toeing out nor in.

in this country, is made in factories
in the large cabbage. growing regions
around the Great Lakes, where 1t is
canned. A high-quality product Is
turned out and the carefully prepared
kraut reaches the consumer in her
metically-sealed tins.
Good sauerkraut, experts tell us,
should be crisp and easy TO chew
never soft and mushy nor hard and
tough. It should have very little
color, although kraut in the keg may
have a deeper tinge than the canned
product. These qualities depend upon
the type of cabbage used, and the
methods employed in making the
kraut. If immature or defective cab
bage is used, the result is equally de-
fective kraut.
X y +
THE characteristic flavor Of sauer-
kraut is caused by the acid
formed from the cabbage sugar. Salt
is added to the cabbage, which draws
out the juice, in which the sugar is
dissolved. Lactic acid bacteria, al
ways present on cabbage, ferment the
juice and create the peculiar taste.
Sauerkraut Is a delightful addition
to many meat dishes-eSpecially those
employing pork. With frankfurters,
with spareribs, with country sausage,
or even with pork chops, the tangy
favor blends deliciously. More un-
usual combinations include sauerkraut
with macaroni and chipped beef and
sauerkraut with corned beef hash.
The Germans have way Of frying
sauerkraut in fat, with few onions,
and another European recipe gives
directions for browning kraut for about
five minutes in butter, and seasoning
with caraway or celery seed. Although
the kraut has less vitamin value than
cabbage, it is well-stocked with min
eral values which are necessary in the
balanced diet. inexpensive, filling and
tasty, sauerkraut becomes a welcome
addition to low-cost menus.

obligation.
Personally, 1t has always seemed to
me that people who have even mod
crate share of the good things Of life
are not only poor sports, but also
black ingrates when they go about
beating upon their breasts and bedew-
ing the world with their tears. Often
they have so much to rejoice over
Good health. Pleasant family rela-
tionships. A comfortable living. Yet
because they have not reached some
impossible standard of bliss III which
there will not be a single crumpled
rose leaf under their forty mattresses
of ease, they are Gloomy Guses and
Cuisines.
One Of the most melancholy women
that I know has never had single
real sorrow or hardship in her life.
Fate has spared her the grief of ever
losing any one she really loved by
death. While not rich, she has always
lived in modest luxury and never had
to worry about where the next meal
was coming from. She has had a
kind and devoted husband who has
never looked at another woman. Her
children have not only turned out to
be all that any mothers heart could
wish, but also are singularly tender
and considerate of poor mamma. u
who Is always so sad.

NOW wouldn't you think a woman
circumstanced like that would be
cracking her heels together for Joy
and singing merry roundelay at the
top of her voice? Wouldn't you think
she would be patting herself on the
back at being Lady Luck's favorite
daughter? Wouldn't you think that
she would feel that it was her duty
to show her gratitude to God for all
the good things He had given her by
at least looking as If she enjoyed
them and liked them?
Well, If you do, you guess wrong.
She goes about with the pathetic,
resigned expression of a martyr on
her way to the stake, and If there is
single ray of sunshine in this gloomy
old world, she never even glimpSes it.
1--WE can't expect happiness here be-
low," she says with sigh, and totally
ignores the fact that when the Crea-
tor of the world filled it with beauty
and things for us to enjoy; when He
hung the sun and the moon in the
skies and made seas and mountains
and blooming flowers and put the
song In birds throat. He meant US
to find happiness. We are cutters

Dishes May Be Evolved
To Combat Food Costs
Both Forms of the Vegetable Are Highly
Rated in the "Protective'' Diet for
the Cold Winter Months.

Danish baldhead, late fiat Dutch and
Wisconsin Hollander. Because this
kind of cabbage natures best in cool
weather, it is planted chiefly in the
Northern States or at high attitudes
to make sure of cool temperatures to-
ward the end of the growing season.
The Danish baldhead and Wisconsin
Hollander are the two varieties that
store the best, the bureau says. After
the heads become hard they are cut
from the stalk. stripped of all loose
leaves, hauled to market, and then to
the store house, where they are placed
on Slated shelves with plenty of air
space between. The heads must be
free from disease of any kind, and they
should also be free from injury due to
rough handling or from insects. The
storage temperature is kept just above
freezing, and the air is kept quite
moist $50 to IS per cent humidity.
This should interest those of us who
have been stored" here in Washing
ton all Summer, and know more than
we like about high humidityD
Cabbage is one of the most versatile
Of vegetables. 1t fits into lunch or
dinner, either as vegetable, a main
dish, salad or a garnish. Coarsely
shredded, cooked for only few min
utes-overcooking cabbage Is a cul;-
nary crime-and seasoned with butter
or salt pork, salt ana pepper, it be-

vegetables, and an important "protec-
tive" food. Cooked with milk, thick
ened slightly with blended butter and

ing. filling hot dish for a cold day.
CABBAGE spaghetti and cheese,
scalloped in milk. makes a splen-
did, inexpensive "all-in-o -one" dish.
Cabbage may also be scalloped with
ground peanuts. or with cheese sauce
The traditional German steamed
cabbage, which combines so de-
liciouSly with ham or corned beef,
is first seasoned with vinegar and,
later, with little sour cream. Another
European dish Is filled cabbage"
For this the center of the head is
cut out, the shell parboiled and the
cavity filled with the center part Of
the cabbage, chopped fine, and COM
bined with ground meat. bread crumbs,
chopped onions and other pungent
seasonings. The whole affair Is then
baked In the oven and Is sure to be
welcomed by the family when it ap-
pears steaming and aromatic at the
dinner table.
Swedish sweet-sour cabbage cooked
| with apples is good, too, If you are
one of the addicts Of the "sweet-sour"
form Of cooking. Raw cabbage, in
cole slaw, salads and prepared in
the Dutch manner by combining
shredded cabbage and crisp bits Of
fried bacon with a dressing Of pork
fat. vinegar, salt. pepper and dry
mustard, Is valuable addition to
our diet, and its crisp, distinctive
favor makes it q favorite with old
and young.
In planning your Winter menus and
food budget include both cabbage and
Sauerkraut for true economy and extra
food value!

1t started out, quite boldly to be

which Is the privilege Of all things

mighty pretty. Three buttons found
their way onto the belt, which is a
very nice trimming. and repeats the
buttons on the front of the blouse.
And then came bishop sleeves, which
those Of you who are not as old as
time may not know about, but which
are, in reality, peasant sleeves, little
less full, gathered at top and bottom,
and attached to a narrow cuff at the
wrist.
This dress Is delightful in either
silk or wool For "dressy" sort Of
frock 1t is of black silk crepe, dull and
heavy, with rhinestone buttons. Black
Is much in vogue for the young this
season, and lives there a girl who
doesn't adore it above all things? But
it must be very simple and youthful,
not the sophisticated black worn by
her older sister. Then there are all
the simply gorgeous Renaissance COL
ors-violet, and blue, wine and yellow
green, coppery tones, Titan, which is
pretty nearly rust, and vibrant gold.
Thin woods are just as nice as silk

~ Young ladies who attend Vassar
and Wellesley, as we'll as the State
university, will know what "classic"
means! But they may not realize that
the word may be applied In the field
of fashions. 1t is, none the less, and
the shirtwaist dress is one mode which
deserves the term. 1t is always good,
in all seasons, all countries and almost
all hours. 1t is basic design from
which all sorts of variations occur. 1t
is smart in Bond street and Main
street
This Is the shirtwaist dress without
adulteration, just pure basic design.
And although like all the variations
upon the theme, we like best the
STRAIGHTFORWARD simplicity of this
dress. Shallow shoulder yoke. turned
back collar, tailored pocket, sleeves
which end in a mannish cuff, the skirt
with its four inverted pleats and, most
of all, the monogram on the front!
Have it in fuchia flannel, or gray
wool Jersey. Or in dregs of wine silk
crepe, with dull blue initial and belt.
Or wool challis, which has patterns
like mems cravats. Or wool crepe, in
one Of the Renaissance colors. If you
are enamored of plaids, select the
boldest one you can find. II you
haven't a velveteen dress, get that,
plain or figured. And don't forget
about the monogram. 1t may keep
your roommate from wearing it of on
