Why
Old?
BY Josephine Loipman


What are all you women tryina
to do? Grow up to be big girls now7
I have received an influx Of letters
recently asking how to grow taller
Most of these are women and a few
come from men. Perhaps we are al
trying to grow up to the big job
ahead of us!
I honestly do not know how WOW
can grow taller except by improve
ment in posture. Strengthening a
slumped-in spine, all the way up,
even through the region of the
neck, the habit of lifting the head
and pushing toward the ceiling with
the top of it mot by lifting your
chin) and lifting the chest can add
inches to your height.
Also, remember that if you length
en- the distance between the waist
and the bust by pulling in and up il
gives the impression of Increased
height. When you do this you ban
ish the squashedin, mashed-dowr1
look which short person gets If she
adds poor posture and thickened
waistline to her shortage in height.
All stretching exercises are splens
did for this, exercises in which YOU
pull up with the rib cage. Too often
the real benefit of an exercise Is
missed because the stretching is
done with the arms and shoulders
rather than with the rib cage and
through the torso.
Simply hanging from bar with
the hands is splendid exercise for
stretching the spine and waist.
When you first do this you will be
able to hold on for only few mo-
ments. Later you can increase the
length of time you hang happily
from your bar. A bar can be placed
easily in doorway in the house
Stretching exercises also relax you
for sleep, II

First Enameled Utensils

Cooking utensils of porcelain en-
amel on iron, as a commercial prof.
ect, were first made by the Bartel-
mas family in Bohemia about 1880,
The base metal was cast iron ard
the enamel was applied only on
the inside. In 1859 the Bartelmes
family began the enameling of sheet
iron, and it was from this develop
rent that the great porcelain enam-
cling industry of today traces the
beginning of its major growth.
Cooking utensils of porcelain
enamel on metal were first manu-
factured In the United States in
the early part Of the second half
of the 18th century. Today there
are II major manufacturers Of por-
oelain enameled hollow ware.

Lowly Potato
Has a Subtle
Flavoring
We Sing the Praises
OF This Versatile.
Healfhtul Food
By Edith NJ. Barber

/ am singing the praises today OF
food product which does not have
as much appreciation as 1t deserves,
The majority Of us use 1t in some
form every day, but we are often
apologetic about 1t. especially II we
have, or think We have, extra
weight
1t is potatoes of which / talking
and before I 60 any further, should
mention that they are not particu-
larly fattening. While I could de-
claim upon the minerals and vita
MINIS which they furnish. it Is the
favor in which am now interested.
Perhaps because we generally eat
them with more highly favored
meats, we think of potatoes as bland.
Actually the favor is subtle and
nothing is more delicious than new
potatoes, which are in market just
now, and which are one of the foods
which has not risen in price.
I like to boil new potatoes In their
Jackets and then remove the skins
before using them as Is with melted
butter, or cream, or In some other
form for which they should be
peeled Immediately, chilled and
diced. or sliced before using for one
of the many good potato dishes
One of my favorites is what we
called stewed potatoes, but which
MANY call potatoes hashed in cream,
On a. recent visit to the old Swan
Inn, near Poughkeepsle, which has
been serving the public for over
200 years, my hostess, who is one
of the owners, told me about lam
lily recipe which has the strange
name of potato mangle." I found
that it was not unlike my stewed po-
tatoes, but had the addition OF
minced onions, parsley and hard
cooked eggs. This makes a very
good luncheon or supper dish.
TOASTED POTATO FLUFF.
5 cups hot diced potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
"a cup hot milk
l teaspoon salt
!. teaspoon pepper

STEWED POTATOES.

known SuCn prosperity In SplIe ol
the textile rationing and the crisis
In the textile industry. It develops
that as a luxury industry, the Paris
dressmakers have obtained special
privileges in the form of exemption
from textile restrictions A special
assignment of fabrics, based on 80
per cent of the consumption of the
firm In 1898, has been accorded them
by German authority. 1t is said.
though, that the growing seriousness
of the textile industry, factories
closing and materials becoming
more and more rare, may make this
prosperous setup vanish.
Meantime, the sky is the limit
where prices are concerned. A
tailored suit now sells in one of the
big houses at from 5000 to 5000
francs. Wages have gone up, too,
according to the report. Salesgirls
now make 10000 francs a month
and manneuuins are known to earn
800 francs day.
The catch in the thing. however,
Is that that foreign exchange de-
partment We called the other day
tells us that the last quotation from
Occupied France listed the value OF
the franc at about 2 cents in our
money. So figure it out for your
self If that's prosperity, we'll take
vanilla.
Think how lucky-you-are depart
ment:
Our hopeful questions to dress
buyers recently returned from the
New York market" have been an
swered to our satisfaction-and, we
think. to yours The new fall clothes,
you will be happy to hear, are very,
very tasty bits of feminine f1nery.
Materials are good and well handled
so that the restriction on yardage
Is not even apparent. Buyers de-
clare that clothes are "dressier"

Storing Butter

Careful preparation Of food for
storage saves both food and refrig-
Grafton. Butter, for instance, should
be removed, from its wrappings and
stored Immediately in a porcelain
enameled refrigera tor dish when you
return home from market.

Versatile Utensils

Deep-fat frying pans Of porcelain

ceptionally easy to clean afterwards.

Shall Rejected
Draftee Send
Back Gifts?
Valuable Presents
To Be Returned,
Is Consensus
Bv Emily Post

There are many suggestions ss TO
what draftee should do with the
farewell presents that were given
him when he left for camp, and
then was rejected by the medical
examiners and sent home.
Many of my readers feel that he
should return them ADJUST As
wedding presents are returned II
the marriage does not take place.
Others think they should be kept,
since it Is not unlikely that he will
be taken into another branch of
war service But the consensus
seems to be that items OF value,
particularly those Of military use,
such as field glasses or any sort OF
camp kit, should be returned. Per-
sonally chosen things such as hand
kerchiefs marked with his name,
socks made for him, or special brand
of cigarettes should be kept.
The idea of laying things out on
table and inviting the givers to
come in and take back their own
seems a little crude, but has found
favor in a number of smaller circles.
Dear Mrs. Post: Does a printed
invitation, or one written briefly on
visiting card and coming from
out of town, require an answer If
the invitation does not request one?
AnsWer-Although neither invi-
tation eXacts an answer, 1t would
be friendly as we'll as polite TO reply
to the written one.
Dear Mrs. Post: What to drink a
toast in at my wedding reception
worries me. Neither my parents
nor my fance's family approve OF
anything even weakly alcoholic, and
vet I know that most OF our guests
are accustomed to having-and will
expect-something more than plain
lemonade when they 60 to a we'd
ding. Isn't there some rule of eti-
ouette requiring hosts to give first
consideration to their guests that ]
can quote to my parents and win
| them over?
Answer-First, I doubt whether
you could succeed. Second. do
not think you should try. Although
it is true that hosts are expected
to think first of their guests, this
does not apply when question OF
moral principle is involved. Also I
take it for granted that your friends
know your parents never serve al
cohol and will not expect 1t. think
though, that sparkling white grape
Juice or any fruit juice punch made
with aeriated water-in other words
bubbling beverage-would seem
more wedding like than fiat lem
