that the stomach empties itself more
rapidly than it would otherwise. AS
soon as the carbonated water enters
the intestines, it becomes absorbed,
some of it is excreted by the salivary
glands and our thirst is really quench-
ed.

All children have a feeling for mu
sic and it only has to be brought out by
an understanding person. The develop
ing of this talent is very simple. Most
Of the church hymns, school and folk
songs are written in three chords and
when a child masters the scale it is
easy to sing any Of these songs.

Facial creams, lotions, astringents
and other cosmetic aids are all help
full at the proper time but it should
be the cardinal rule of all women never
to forget the Importance of soap and
water night and morning.
Dust particles must be regularly
washed away from the pores if you
would keep that young, glowing look.
When the skin periodically appears to
lose it's glow then facial massage is
welcome stimulant. This should al
ways be done with an upward and out
ward stroke.

Why go on a diet when it's really
less effort to exercise. To the woman
at home exercising alone seems an
awful bore, but try it with victrola
or radio. If you'll keep at it long
enough to realize it's benefits to your
figure you will be so pleased you'll
never regard it an effort again.
Colors in sport togs are slightly bar
barrie this year, brilliant yellows,
poison greens, flaming orange and
stoplight red. Combine or use with
white.
Sailor collars with rows of soutache
braid in contrasting color close to the
edges are extremely popular at resorts
on play frocks. They are also seen on
white flannel dresses with pleated
skirts.
Lace is extremely popular and al
ways cool for summer evening dress
es. A lace suit with wide lapels edged
in a three inch frill has been intro
duced by one of the designers and has
proved an outstanding success.
Transparent bodices on evening
dresses are novelty, or rather bod
ices that look transparent; lace being
mounted on flesh color net. Pale pink
is an outstanding success and pastel
laces are making definite headway.
Much less black lace is being seen than
formerly. Long sleeves in dinner
dresses are very much favored.

| For BETTER HOmemaking
You wash all your other bedding
and put it away for the summer but
how about your bed pillows? Most
persons think them unwashable, some
thing to be used year after year and
occasionally sent to dry cleaner. Pill
lowcases give some protection, but
perspiration, oil and general soil still
penetrate the ticking.
Washing at home is no trick at all
if you have washing machine. Choose
clear, breezy day and prepare extra
heavy suds of lukewarm water and
mild soap. Soften water by using
ammonia and borax. Make a small
slit in one end of each pillow to keep
from floating, or the feathers may be

arately. Five minutes in the washing
machine should be sufficient, rinse and
hang out to dry. Simple, isn't it?

Women in Industry
Modern cigarette factories under
union conditions, come near being the
last word in clean and healthful places
of employment. Most employees are
girls and women.
Machines are marvels Of perfection.
There is, among those who attend the
machines none of the evidence Of
strain under speed-up that character
ICES some of the mass production in
dustries.
Work is Of many kinds. The cigar
cite machine itself is but one of the
operations. When one goes haywire
the attendants wait until finger sets
it going again. Then there are con-
veyor systems, packaging machines
and still other machines where tobacco
