SOFTLY TAILORED DRESS FOR FALL
PATTERN 1sS

Here it is - that first new wool frock you need to usher in the new season! Claire Tilden has designed Pattern 195 especially to please busy young moderners who like their clothes to have simple lines and trim tailoring, yet be deftly feminine. Wouldn't one of the currently smart shades - moss or khaki green, 1n- dian Earth brown or River Blue-be stunning? Twin peaks from higher than-usual waistline, smoothly em- phasizing the slenderness of your waist and hips. The bodice is slight ly bloused in their years silhouette, with gathers above the waist and with nicely shirred shoulders. Most becoming point of all is the softly draped, graceful front neck-band which ties into a charming bow. The back of the neck is high-cut too and neatly fitted by darts. Your belt may tie or buckle in back; your sleeves are in either long or short length. Do get to work on this be- coming round the clock frock as soon as possible - you'll need It right away! "
 Pattern 195 is cut in misses and women's sizes IA, IS. IS, 20, 32, 34. 36, 38, 40 and A. Size 16 requires 3 IA yards 39 inch fabric.

quinces and raspberries. Some fruits, such as ripe apples, most plums, and grapes of the European type cultivated on the Pacific coast, contain sufficient pectin but lack the acidity. Other fruits con- tain enough acid but have insuffi- cient pectin. Some times fruit rich in pectin is combined with one rich in acd to get the proper propor- tons for jelly. The following com binations of fruits result in inter- esting blendings of flavors and col- ors: Crab apple with grape, cur rant with raspberry, gooseberry with raspberry, tat apple with plum, tart apple with quince, quince with cranberry. If no pectin-rich fruit is available to combnie with one lack ing this ingredient, it may be added in the form of an extract, prepared either commercially or in the home. If acid is needed, lemon juice or powdered citric acid will supply it..

HOW OLD IS FIFTY?

A postcard query the other day de- pressed and exasperated the kindly conductor no end. Not because 1t was a post card--I don't mind that unless the writer expects me to send some personal answer-but it de- pressed me because it seemed to in- dicate that my health teachings don't get under the skin of the peo- pie who most need health education and it exasperated me because it re- minded me that notwithstanding all the efforts of numerous agencies to arouse popular interest in positive health the great majority of laymen become interested in conserving health only when they realize theirs is gone.
 This was the substance of the postcard query.
 "Do you advocate rolling som-
 ersaults as a daily health habit?
 How is a person past fifty to at-
 tempt such acrobatics?"
 "Acrobatics"? Did the writer of the query pass fifty in the gay nine- ties or is he or she under some mis- apprehension concerning the mean ing of the word somersault?
 Unfortunately Webster and I are at loggerheads concerning the meaning of the word somersault. Webster says 8 somersault is leap or jump in which person turns his heels over his head, forward or backward, without touching the ground with any portion of the body. I call that an air spring. say somersault is simply crouching and rolling the body, forward or backward, without ever losing con- tact with the ground or floor-any playful five-year-old child can show you what mean. That's my defi- hilton of somersault, and Webster may take it or leave it.
 Turning air springs, admit, would be acrobatics. Turning somersaults is like rolling of a log-for any one who is still able to get about under his own power at sixty or sevently.
 The fundametal benefit one de- rives from rolling a dozen somer- saults first thing every morning and last thing every night is, I believe, equalization of circulation.

 The young girl with small, round face and a pert, turned-up nose ought to remember that bangs or rolls over the forehead will exag- gerate the pug nose line and flat ten her profile.
 A famous expert thinks that the best hair styles for face of this type are those which are drawn back away from the forehead and built up on top to lengthen the shape of the head. And he says that the neckline should be ex- posed to dramatize the lower por- tion of the face rather than the nose.

on top and heavy on the neckline. Fullness below and behind ears softens the otherwise hard jawline, shortens the neck and reduces the size of the chin.
 He thinks that severe sweeps of hair, simpulating the design of the features, reduces their strength. He invariably puts large rolls and long sweeps in a coiffure for a woman with large features. He prefers this rather than fluffiness about the face and dozens of tiny ringlets here and there.

FLUFFY COIFFURE EMPHASIZES HARDNESS

He believes also that fluffy ar- engagements about the face harden the features of the older woman. whereas definite lines in the coif- fure soften them.
 He would not have every older woman draw her hair back se- verely and uninterestingly but he would have her get over the idea of thinking that fluffy curls near the face draw attention away from the lines and wrinkles. Just the opposite is true, he says. The extreme softness in the hair makes the lines in the face more conspicuous by contrast.

THE WOMEN ---------- Business Course Aims To Ease Wives War Worries
Teaches Them to Take Over Husbands Work

ing business college, who is herself married and knows how Mrs. Jones is feeling these days, has hit on a novel plan.
 She is going to offer all the wo- men like Mrs. Jones a chance to do something besides worry.
 Miss Mildred Allison, (who is Mrs. in private life) owner and working head of the Monroe Sec retarial School, will begin this Fall a business course for married wo- men who feel at this particular time that they should know either enough about business to protect their husbands affairs if the hus- bands have to leave them at any time in the near future, or even enough to get jobs and support themselves, should that need come.
 The course is an afternoon one, which will let the housewife students out in time to get home and cook dinner for their hus- bands, who may not be fore mind ed enough to want to go without dinners while their wives learn about business.
 It sounds like a good idea. For it will give these women some thing to do besides worry, and it will equip them for taking their husbands places, if that need ever arises. xxyvrr <,rvx, TxxEM
 WORKING KNOWLEDGE
 As slim. brunette, Miss Allison points out, Tt is surprising how helpless most married women would be were they suddenly asked to step in and take over their husbands businesses.
 "Of course, we don't expect that they will be able to take over their husbands work in its en- tirety and do it at a moments notice. But what we do expect is that they will learn a working knowledge of the rudiments of business which, in a short time, will cable them to grasp the fundamentals of their husbands affairs

Q. What kinds of fruits are best for jelly?
 A. A fruit must have two essen- tials in proper proportions, if it is to be converted into jelly--pectin and acid. These change with the maturity of the fruit, both decreas- ing as the fruit ripens. Hence, for best results, use a mixture of slightly underripe and ripe fruit, the underripe to furnish pectin and acid and the ripe to contribute fla vor and color. The following fruits at the proper stage of maturity have both of these in sufficient
