FOR THE VERY YOUNG.
However young the daughter Of the
family may be she can still dress in
style similar to that of her older
sister. From to 6 she may be
smartly clad in dirndls and suspender
styles, princess line velveteens with
tiny lace collars, cotton dresses and
bright prints in the peasant influence.
Her coats will have matching hats and
possibly leggings and will be made of
tweed, fleece, wool or other fabrics.
Most of the very small coats are made
without fur trimming and many of the
tailored styles have fitted backs with
one or two pleats. Some are double
breasted with velveteen collars and
others boast a tiny bit of fur trim
ming-often squirrel. Snow suits are
often equipped with hoods or hats and
Raincoats or capes run riot in plaids
and bright colors. For playtime-and
these are for both boys and girls-there
are corduroy overalls and matching
jackets, zippered up the front, and sep
arate matching or contrasting cor
duroy jackets with action backs. Party
dresses are preferably short velveteen
models, made princess style, but there
are a few floor-length taffeta models
that are dainty and most becoming.
And, for a grown-up touch, give her
plaid purse and matching scarf to
set her off in her little sport outfits.
The in-betweens, aged 7-l2, wear
notifications of both the teen-age and
juvenile styles. They, too, are fond
of embroidered blouses, dirndls and
plaids and easily adapt themselves to
the modes advocated for older girls.
To describe their clothes would be
to repeat what we have said before.
The children of today are definitely
style conscious, and their clothes are
symbolic OF their advancement in
knowledge No more demure, babyish
outfits for the very young generation.
They know their fashions. Their
wardrobes are patterned after those of
their older sisters, and We have yet
to see the child that is not delighted
with something Just like big sister
has" 1t is an interesting experience
to watch the very young select their
clothes, for they are we'll aware Of
what they want. Undoubtedly the
interest evinced by children in their
wardrobes now will have great bear
ing on the well-groomed people of
the future
We repeat. they know their fash
ions, and like them, even if Fash
ion is Spinach!"

Youth at Best Is Only Fleeting,
So Prepare for Coming Years.

can do business, socially speaking, on
tenth of the capital that boy and
a girl can.
Take beauty, for instance. Or good
dressing, or adaptability. or good
nature. Any Of the things that make
people stand out from their crowd.
A girl has to be regular bathing
beauty to get noticed as a good
locker, but if grandma's face isn't as
criss-crossed with wrinkles as rail-
road map is with lines, and If she has
kept her hair and her teeth fit well, she
has a reputation as a beautiful old
lady.
The reason most people so dread
growing old. and why they cling so
frantically to their youth, Is because
OF the three curses OF age-loneliness,
lack of love and the feeling that one
is in the way and not wanted. But
against all of these they could pro-
tect themselves if they would devote
as much effort to massaging out the
wrinkles in their characters as they
do the crowfeet around their eyes; if
they would try as hard to keep their
minds supple as they do their knee
joints.
The first principle in preparing for
age consists in storing up friendship
for that rainy day that is bound to
come wh:n we will have lost the per-
sonal attractiveness of youth and can
not draw strangers to us. Then we
must depend upon those that we have
tsund to us by Thousand ties of love,
Of helpfulness, Of thoughtfulness, of
sympathy and understanding, of favors
done and received. No man or woman
who has been good friend and a
good neighbor is ever lonely or lacks
love in his or her old age.

than $12,000,000 on imported spices

to the United States Department OF
Commerce. That seems plenty Of
money for just an extra bit Of favor,
doesn't it? The various kinds Of pep
pers accounted for 40 per cent Of the
grand total of more than l10,000,000

to 60 slow; it is easy to add more,
but practically impossible to subtract
even a little bit.
Most spices enter this country whole
and are cleaned again, sorted, graded,
ground, blended and packaged by
American companies. Thus they must
conform to our pure food and drug
laws and reach us in perfect condition
and ready to use.
OFFICIAL SUGGESTIONS.
The Bureau of Home Economics Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has some interesting sug-
gestions to make on the correct use Of
spices and condiments. They say:
Moderation and variety are notices
for using spices in seasoning. With
out variety even the rarest and best
spices cannot give the zest to life
promised in the popular quotation. For
seasoning, spices are at their best
when they are an indef1nable part of
the essence of dish.
ITO get the most flavor from every
speck of spices, season puddings, pud-
ding sauces and sprinkle the topping
on milkshakes at the last possible mo-
ment. In making spice cake sift all
the spices thoroughly with the flour
three times for best results. When
seasoning with combination of sugar
and spices, as for cinnamon rolls or
apple pie, blend sugar and spices thor
oughly before using.
IT your apple pie recipe tells you to
dot the surface Of the spiced apples
with butter, that's a good tip, too.
Mixing with the fat helps hold more
of the spiciness until serving time.

Wall Cleaning.

To clean the painted wall behind
the refrigerator or stove, tightly at
tach a soft cloth to a yardstick, broom
handle or fishing pole, dip it in warm
water and soap suds and poke about
at will. To clean linoleum under re-
frigerators or stoves, dip the cloth
in floor wax. This polishes as 1t

Cleaning Fur.

It's time to clean the fur collar on
your coat. Heat cornmeal in a shall
low pan and, with the fingers, rub
the meal well into the fur. After two
days shake out or brush lightly with
a soft brush. This is very effective on
the white fur so often used on eve
ming wraps.

It is a queer thing that We spend
millions of dollars and tons of energy
on studying how to keep young and
beautiful, but we never spend nickel
or give a thought about trying to
learn how to grow old beautifully. Yet
the one can be done, while the other
Is an impossibility.
No effort Of ours will stay the hand
OF Time. 1t reaches into the beauty
shop and plucks us out by the hair
of our heads. Before we know 1t
chucks us into middle age Then,
before we can get our breath, it whirls
US into old age. Then we realize
suddenly that we are in strange
country for which we have not pre-
pared ourselves, and to whose ways
and customs we do not know how to
adapt ourselves because we had never
expected to visit it.
Perhaps the reason that most old
age is so unlovely is becasse it is a
condition forced on people against
their wills. 1t is misfortune that
they never thought would happen to
them, and so they are bitter and re-
sentful and make things generally I'M
pleasant for themselves and those who
have to live with them.
Now considering that age lasts much
longer than youth-of at any rate it
seems tot would appear the part
of wisdom to put in our best en-
deavors where we would get the big
gest and most lasting results; there
fore just on percentage basis there
are more dividends in cultivatirg the
arts and graces of age than there are
in trying to manufacture a perpetual
synthetic youth.
Also, it is easier. Perhaps it is
because We expect so much of youth
and so very little of age that every

Ihe answer is far more absorbing.
We recently spoke with a buyer
in the children's department who
claims that many adult fashions are
patterned after the clothes of the
young fry. Her theory is that such
popular motifs as princess line dresses,
suspender styles and wealth of others
originated in the juvenile section and
we're later adopted by women. But
whether or not such statement is
we'll founded, there is indisputable
truth in the fact that adult styles
and children's modes have achieved q
wonderful degree of similarity. Gone
are the babyish dresses and coats, to
be replaced by smart. up-to-the-min-
ute outfits that would do justice to

State All Club Leader)
Someone hy said the love of fam
lily and of home is the most endear-
ing of all relations of life We know
that a family will remain true to one
of its members through distress and
encouragement and therefore, the
members of a family should realize
their responsibility and contribute
their share of sympathy, understand
ing and appreciation to the family and
to their home life.
Courtesy is such a lovely word
whether it means a graceful little
bow, or even better, as we use it now,
a gracious act, by love for others STIR
red; courtesy is lovely, deed and
word!
Anne Cleveland Cheney
What a grand place our home is to
show the courtesy expressed in this
verse!
A well-bred person is one whose
politeness is habit, Everyday prac-
tice in the home will help us to be
more at ease away from home. Real
politeness is being kind and consider
ate, and is shown in many ways-by
the voice the expression on our face,
the vocabulary we use, our behavior,
and our attitude.
There are many things to watch, to
do, to refrain from doing, to talk
about and to give in order to be a
desirable member of family.
