to one, it really should be super
vised by a physician or one who
specializes in such things.
A few years ago we investigated
the subject quite thoroughly, and
we found in many cases where
persons were treated by physicians,
they were put to bed for complete
rest of mind and body, and the
milk was administered by a nurse
or attendant. To supply the food
and also force elimination, large
quantities of milk were given, as
much as five quarts day in some
cases.
This requires time, and for the
average individual is out Of the
question, so many physicians are
now prescribing the diet conven-
lent for the individual. and milk
farms and reducing studios where
milk diets are used are doing the
same thing.
A pint and a half of milk a day
is the amount given in some of the
places, and brothS are used also
when the diet is to be only liquids.
Some Of the places use cultured
milk, too, and when given in this
way, the usual exercises and mas
sages must be taken for the best
results.
There are a few who really can
not take milk as a food, and there
is no reason why they should try
to force themselves to drink it If
they know it does not agree with
them. 1t does, however, seem to
be perfect food for the majority.
The banana and skim milk diet
is quite satisfactory for those who
want to reduce at home, and the
amounts for successful reducing
are as follows: The diet for Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday is
three glasses of skim milk and six
bananas. This may be divided in
either three or four meals.
For Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urQdy, GIlFee 1gnC meals may De
taken and should consist of green
salads, lean meat, egg and fruit,
with about three to four cups of
liquid only each day. Do not let the
calorie count exceed $500 any
day.
Consult your physician about
your diet, even if you are in good
health, but remember it is the
food that puts on weight.

Makeup Changes

THERE'S a whole new schoel
i of makeup for spring, de-
cided, of course, by the new
colors. Such tones as thistle,
the blues, the purple tones and
the black and white costumes
call for more blue in our rouge
and lipstick, rather than the
orangey tones of last year. So
one forward thinking house
has brought out new spring
makeup, keyed to the new
colors, thistle, smokey rose, St.
James blue, and so on. The
cream rouge is called Romance,
and is a deeper red, or if you
prefer dry rouge, ask for rasp-
berry. The lipstick is called
Romance, too, and matches ex-
actly. Castillian powder is
used with this makeup and, as
it is a soft rose, it goes beauti-
fully. Gray eye shadow is best,
and brown mascara. Inciden-
tally, this particular mascara
is excellent, doesn't smart if
you get it in your eyes.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

just a short time ago 1 followed
your instructions to send individ-
ual thank you notes for shower
gifts baby.

they're taken to be) hints for

pie take them to mean the pur-
chase of q gift, then 1 think it
best not to send announcements"
"W."
I'm happy that you find my
column helpful, and I'm delighted,
too, that you took my suggestion
to write gracious notes of thanks
to the givers Of shower presents.
This is an amenity which pleases
our friends.
The sending of birth announce
ments is, in itself, only a pleasant
and useful means of spreading
the news" That is really the way
they are usually interpreted. They
don't "call for" a gift, needn't be
taken that way.
If a relative or close friend who
receives an announcement feels
that she would like to send a gift
to the mother or to the baby, that
is a generous impulse, and should
be accepted as such.

The choice of which nut to Use
will depend to a large extent on
personal taste. The Brazil nut is
rich creamy and has a special
affinity for creamed dishes made
with fish. Gelatine salads are also
delicious when a fourth cup of
these sliced nuts are added to it.
But there are many nuts to
choose from.
The almond has a more delicate
flavor and is usually chosen for
dainty puddings, and cakes.
The pecan is sweet, oily, rich in
protein, and can be used in a great
many dishes. The English is an
other old favorite.
Two nuts which are gaining in
popularity are the cashew and the
pine nut. The caShew has a deli
cate tasty flavor and is sweet when
roasted something like peanuts,
but is more oily. The pine nut is
sweet and rich and excellent in
salads and desserts.
Many main dishes can be con-
cocted from these nuts. Outlets,
nut and bean loaf, and creamed
dishes are only a few of them.
They should be lastly blended and
baked slowly in a moderate oven
to develop criSpneSs and flavor.
For your next Lenten dinner,
try one of these new dishes. You
will be pleased with their taste.

NOV for the incest little travel
IN idea that we've found in a
long time-one that will tuck into
the corner Of a mail bag, but will
do as much service as a big beauty
box, if you're pushed for space.
It's called the Beauty Foursome
and stands but four inches high,
yet has enough beauty treatment
wrapped in one sleek white column
to do for many days and nights.
It is $3.75 and about the ivory
colored "tower of beauty" is
wrapped a smart printed linen ker-
chief in gay colors, which you can
use to wrap about your head while
making up, and as a wrap for the
"foursome" while it is packed. The
kerchief is good looking enough
for your best wool frock or sweat
er, too. In the tower is a jar of
herbal cleansing cream-special-
which is a gentle, light silky
cleanser that removes all makeup
and dust, and is somewhat Stimu-
lating at the same time. Then
there is a jar of night cream,
which relaxeS the nerves, aids
eradication of lines and roughneSS,

winter especially. A fine face pow
der fills the third jar compart-
ment, and on top is a fullsized
pot OF cream rouge, which you use
