PATTERN 879

Slips may me and slips may go, but don't slip up on this one It's Claire Tilden design-Pattern 879-and so clever. First of all, you can cut 1t in just four pieces, for the non-slp shoulder straps are in ne easy piece with the rest of teh garment, fact that every dressmaker will appre- ciate. The most unusual feature about this slip, however, is the shir- ring at the bust line. A new and real ly wonderful device that results in soft, easy fit instead of a taut. stretch -across! You can cut the whole slip on the bias if you wish. Edge the graceful sweetheart neck and the straps with dainty lace for a feminine touch. Notice the nice, full lines of the skirt. Quickly make this style in both an every day rayon and 8 dress-up' satin-it will be a speedy job with the Sewing Guide for di- rections.

 Here is a picture that's as amaz- ing as 1t Is timely, for it dares to go behind closely-guarded palace walls and probe the private life of a dictator.

 Don't grimace, dear" grand- mother warned. Your face will freeze that way"
 Whereupon, everybody else in the family sided with grandmother ana gave you a lecture on the evils of making faces.
 However, it's your turn to laugh now. Several rodern cosmetics experts agree that exercise is as fine for the muscles of the face as for those of any other part of the body.
 Make faces" they urge. Keep the muscles of your face and neck firm and young"
 SLEEP WITH
 FACE DREAMED
 One of these experts advises wearing a rich night cream while you sleep, then doing special set of face exercises next morning be- fore removing what is left of the cream and cleansing the skin thor oughly. Here are directions
 open mouth as far as possible, as If laughing heartily. Lift cheek muscles, tensing all facial muscles. Force the mouth to close gradually against resistance until mouth IS fully closed and you appear to be suppressing forceful laugh. Re- tain this tense pose for about five seconds. Repeal once.
 Number two is the reverse of exercise one. Begin with mouth closed as if suppressing laugh With facial muscles tense, grad ually open mouth (against re- sistance) into widening smile - until you appear to be laughing heartily with mouth wide open Keep cheek muscles stiff and lifted as high as possible. Retain final laughing pose for five seconds, then relax and repeat once.
 For number three, begin with mouth closed in wide smile, and with cheek muscles lifted high as possible. Tense all facial muscles Slowly, forcefully, reduce smile until lips are puckered oval shape. Re- tain pose five seconds.
 Exercise four is the reverse oi number three.
 During the next routine, keer mouth closed and lips in a hor. izontal line. With face muscles tense, contract and relax cheek muscles. Repeat this contracting and relaxing six times. If done cor rectly, the cheek muscles will move up and down. Relax and repeat once
 Now stiffen face muscle! again, lifting cheek muscles as it exercise one. Keping mouth closed fore pressure from the inside agains your cheeks and lips. Let cheek round out as if you were blowing horn, but remember to exert enough muscular resistance to keep th' roundness somewhat in check. Re peat three times.
 EXCELLENT
 FOR NECK, TOO
 All of these exercises, althougl ? designed especially for facial muscles are excellent for the neck. .
 Use the cream at least three night week, and do the exerciss u : morning after each creaming.

 o. If liquid is lost from the jars during canning, is it safe to replace some of it with waterp
 A. Jars should not be opened after processing until time to use the vegetables. When they are open ed they are no longer sterile and must be reprocessed to preserve them. Some liquid will always be lost from glass jars, but the loss can be kept to a minimum by careful control of the temperature. Maintain a constant pressure. At the end o1 the processing, take the canner ofl the fire and let 1t cool gradually until the pressure gage reads zero. Then open the petcock gradually, SC that there is no sudden rushing ou1 of steam.

EQUIPMENT IS NOT NESES.
 SARILY SKILL

EQUIPMENT IS NOT NESES-
 SARTLY SKILL
 A reader says her mother, aged seventy, and been told time and again by physicians that she must have her tonsils removed, but be- cause of her age she hesitated. The reader following suggestions in this column, inquired about the dia- thermy method as an alternative for the major operation, but her mothers doctors advised against 1t and said her tonsils must be cut out. Finally she found one doctor who suggested that the patient consult a competent nose and throat spec- ialist, who used the diathermy method in suitable cases and surgi- cal tonsillectomy in other cases.
 When the patient visited the nose and throat specialist he made a careful examination of her throat and said the tonsils did not look bad to him. He gave one diathermy treatment and instructed the pa tient to return in week. On her return the doctor made bacterio- logical culture from the tonsils, but the culture showed no pathogenic bacteria. The specialist discharged the patient with the advice to leave her tonsils alone. She followed the advice and has remained well ever since.
 Moral? Sometimes doctors are too radical, too cocksure in condemn ing tonsils to the guillotine and snare. And sometimes doctors err in inferring that there is no septic focus in or about tonsil when they fail to get growth of pathogenic bacteria from a culture or when the tonsils at the time of examination do not appear abnormal.
 Another reader reports his experi' ence of five years of dilly-dallyine with diathermy treatments, which cost him nearly 500 bucks, he says and finally he went to the hospita and had his tonsils cut out in thu regular way. And I dragged myself around, alf-sick, for five years, jus trying to dodge the operation" h' walls. "Diathermy? NUTS!!"
 But this poor fellow used pooi judment He selected as his physi' clan in the first instance one wht did not exactly recommend dia' thermy but had the equipment ane was willing to use 1t if the patien insisted
 I'd hate like anything subjectinl myself to the bungling of docto or throat specialist who takes tha uncertain attitude in any case. "Th' devil with the equipment" would b my reaction. What want to knoy is whether the doctor has the ex ceptional skill required to emplo the diathermy method successfully.
