WATCH OUT YOUR DIGNITY
 DOESN'T OVERFLOW

Sometimes suspect Webster gives us what is colloquially called the run-around. A dowager, says Web- ster, is an elderly woman of imposing appearance. Elderly? It is delicate matter. Might she not be just middle aged? In fact, wouldn't a middle aged woman of that sort seem more formidable and imposing than an el- derly one? Well, just how old is el- derly? Webster says elderly means advanced beyond middle age. Hum Wonder how old middle age would be? Again Webster emits a Bronx cheer-middle age is the time be- tween youth and age. So what are you going to do about it
 I'm asking you? Wait a minute Webster has me all upset. It is my job to tell you, isn't it?
 First let me repeat what I said about dealing with dowagers in re- cent talks about reducing. All have against dowagers as an institution is this: it does seem too bad that corpulency should parade as dignity. But don't be terrified when you sight dowager bearing down on you. Pull in your chin, take a couple of belly breaths and stand your ground. Chances are at least fifty fifty she will prove as pleasant a person as you could wish to chat with. But for goodness sake don't think of her as elderly.
 Many middle aged persons. then, do not look too fat although they are 10 or 15 per cent overweight. Muscle

worth a lot of
 trouble for parents to help the small fry to plan their days. The swing and sliding board have lost their appeal. The bicycle lies inert on the lawn.
 Now is the time for all good mothers and true to come to the aid of the parties sitting chin in hand and looking as though the end of life had come. Imagination is the keynote to interest. It is the very backbone of play.
 Let the children dress up and play lnake-believe. They will know what to do once they step into an- other role. Old clothes of almost any kind will do. Let them go the limit, with makeup and feathers, high-heeled shoes and what not. The neighborhood children will probably reciprocate if they are asked to join in the fun today. The round of dress-up affairs should last week or two.
 I think that one of the best in- vestments any mother can make is book on games for children Things to make, things to do, ways to play.
 It is surprising what a bit of paper and glue will do. Or old boxes, materials, ribbons. Then of course, the stone and boards that boys can accumulate hold a | wealth of possibilities,
 New games need nothing but a few children and a place to run Even the latter can be dispensed with in case of guessing games. Yes, vacation children need as- sistance with their play. A little work and little play will sweeten up tempers like magic.

THE WOMEN SmartWife Properly yTimes Major Moves by Family

1 members of the community.
 Timing is also knowing when to encourage husband to try for some thing better or go into business for himself. And when to let well enough alone.
 It is admitting new periods in her life, letting girlhood go without a struggle and grasping maturity firm- ly.
 It is realizing in advance how long the useful" part of her life will last, and preparing for the time when she is back at the place where her time and ambition can be used for herself. AVOIDS USELESS STRUGGLES
 The wife with this sense of tim ing never bungles her life with un- necessary struggling. And she never overlooks opportunities until it iS too late to take advantage of them.
 Her husband, very likely, is too en- grossed in the everyday business of earning a living to recognize the propitious moment for important steps.
 So wife has to see that a whole family gets where they are going, step by step.

Modern Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

Make the most of the declining strawberry season. Give the ruddy little fellows a big hand. This is how:
 Strawberry Delight
 (Serves 10 to 12)
 Ripe bananas, 2 egg whites, cup strawberry preserves, IA teaspoon salt. angel food cake, fresh straw berries.
 Rub bananas through sieve and measure 2-3 cup banana puree in- to bowl. Add egg whites, strawberry preserves and salt. Then beat vigor- ously until mixture is thick and creamy and has lost all its spongy texture. This will take about 10 minutes of beating. Remove center from round flat angel food to l 1-2 inches of bottom and sides. If you use cake baked in tube pan, make bottom to the hole made by tube with small disc of cake removed from center. Pile the banana straw berry mixture into the hole in the center. .Garnish with whole fresh berries.
 Raspberry Whip
 (ServeS 4 to 6)
 One cub raspberries, 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar, egg whites, l tablespoon sherry or lemon juice. Mash raspberries and add cherry or lemon juice. Beat whites very stiff, adding a little sugar at a time. Chill. Place small pieces sponge cake in bottom of tall glass. Fill with this chilled berry mixture. Top with whipped cream.

Of Interest To Women

Nave you a household problem to solve? Write your question clearly. sign your name and ad- dress. enclose a three-cent postage stamp and mail to The Woman's Editor, Washington Service Bu- reau, The Democrat, 1913 18th Street, Washington, D. C., for 3 personal reply.
 o. What are some reasonably- priced foods, rich in food value?
 A. Beef and pig liver, kidney. heart, cabbage, carrots, canned Sal- mon, American cheese, peanuts, dried fruits and vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables in season.
 O. How much sleep do children need?
 A. Between the ages of two and three most of them need from B to IA hours in 24 hours; between the ages of four to eight, they need from 12 to 13 hours. The faster child is growing, the more sleep he needs: therefore, children in the adolescent stage, need even more sleep than when year or two younger.
 o. How is oil of cloves used in relieving a toothache?
 A. It should only be used when it is impossible to reach dentist immediately, as temporary relief filling. Insert a bit of cotton dipped in oil of cloves in the cavity of the tooth.

is heavier, takes up less room than fat.
 It seems offhand that the dowager type is becoming pasSe. The less har- ness, stays or corsets women wear the better tone their own muscles retain, and good muscle tone enables any individual with a corporation to carry a moderate overweight more gracefully. One with poor muscle tone is comparatively flabby, slouchy ungainly even if the body weight is not above the normal for age and height.
 But personal appearance is only one reason why the individual, man or woman, past thirty-five who &C., quires excessive girth should take exercises regularly night and morn ing to keep trim. There is a much better reason. Such exercises help to keep one young and to prolong life. Some statistician, studying life in- surance data, formulated the rule that for every inch ones girth ex- ceeds ones chest measurement after the age of thirty-five, two years should be deducted from ones life expectancy.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Hernia Cured
 Doctor discovered left side hernia eleven years ago. Wanted to operate for $50. Too busy at my trade then. Postponed it till slack time. When slack time came, had no money. So it went for nine years. Then read of the ambulant treatment you rec ommend. Inquired at - Hospital they said operation is only cure and injections dangerous and can't cure .. /. found you are right. Dr. -, to whom you recommended me, gave me about Is injections. Never kept me from regular work. Dispensed with truss six months ago. Passed physi- cal examination recently - examiner said I certainly have no hernia. GA M)
 Answer-Oh, we'll some myopic lit- tie men can't be expected to recog- nize treatment which gives them nc chance to perform"
 Supplementary Vitamins
 We have found wheat germ is the cure for the constipation habit. Six year-old had to be dosed with physics from birth. Thanks to what germ which she takes as cereal every morning she never needs a laxative any more. and she is now strong ano full of vitality. But several others in the family find wheat germ over heating; it seems to cause sores ano excessive voidance. (Mrs. A. I.)
 Answer-So far as know, wheat germ does not cause the untowarc effects you mention, nor is it over. heating. AS a source of vitamin I complex it is valuable to supplement the everyday diet, which is nearl. always deficient in vitamin B.
 Hi, Ethyl
 When you informed the reader that there is no danger in his brother lifting" gasoline from his automo- bile, even though it contains ethyl, assume you had ethyl alcohol 1T mind. Gasoline containing tetra. ethyl-lead is very dangerous. = H M. O.
 Answer-Experience has showr that the tetra- -ethyl-lead in "ethy gasoline" is comparatively. harmless to handle casually, although con stant or frequent exposure to evapo rating tetra- -ethyl-lead may endan ger health, lead poisoning by inhal ing volatile lead.

 The most exciting of the new beauty preparations on midsummer cosmetics counters are designed to make grooming during the hot months infinitely simpler.
 There is, for instance, a new cream depilatory which has light ly perfurned rather than @ heavy, unpleasant odor. This is to be smoothed on legs and underarms, left on from five to eight minutes, depending on the texture of the superfiuous hair, then 'rinsed off. During rinsing, hair disappears with the cream. Afterward, dust with bath powder or pat on bit of creamy hand lotion.
