they are not temperamentally suit

Without Poise
To be clothes conscious is to be
without poise. To feel "all dressed
up" is to be ill at ease. 1t is over
dressing that creates the trump.
The lady of fashion knows that ele-
giant simplicity has it all over ruff
flies and feathers. Then, one sees
the woman rather than the dry
goods she wears. The wearer should
dominate clothes, be of first impor-
lance, first to catch the admiring
eye.
Black is, and probably will al
ways be, one Of the most popular
colors, if color it can be called. Not
only because it is most sophisticated
of all but because it never over
shadows the wearer.
Certain Seasons
Certain colors suggest certain
seasons. In spring there is q rush
for pastel shades-delicate green,
sunlight yellow, faint rose-because
they are in harmony with the first
blooms in the garden. During the
winter season Of furs and velvets
and heavy fabrics, darker colors are
in order.
The woman who suffers from
color fear, feels that she must wear
cold greys. drab tones or dull browns
is doing herself an injustice. Be-
cause colorS have an effect upon

WHEN it comes to health, more
people seem to be interested in over
weight than in any other health
subject.
1t is interesting to note that peo-
pie who are overweight usually
think that their difficulty is due to
some type of glandular disturbance,
but careful studies of large groups
of overweight individuals show that
in very few instances is the diff
Guilty due to anything other than
overeating.
1t is true that overweight may
result from some disturbances of
the glands of internal secretion, but
treatment with gland extract is
only helpful when deficiency of
thyroid secretion is present. In such
cases, the giving of thyroid extract
under the direction of the physician
is of benefit.
Metabolism Test
To ascertain whether or not there
is a lack of thyroid secretion, a
basal metabolism test is helpful.
This simple test is carried out by
having the patient breathe into a
tank and then measuring the
amount of oxygen used up in
given period of time. In this way is
found the rate at which the chemi-
cal activities of the body go on. If
this test shows that the thyroid
gland is functioning normally,
treatment of the overweight indi-
vidual must be carried out by the
use of diet alone.
DR.. Meta M. Kunde suggests
diet which is high in protein and
low in fats, starches and sugars for
people who are overweight but are
otherwise not afflicted with certain
disorders that require a high carbo-
hydrate diet. For example, she sug-
gests that servings of meat, fish
and fowl, with all fat removed, be
given in double the usual amounts.

Words Of the Wise

The man who IS anybody and
who does anything is surely 60
ing to be criticized, vilified and
misunderstood. This is a part of
the penalty for greatness, and
every great man understands it;
understands, too, that it is no
proof of greatness. The final
proof of greatness lies in being
able to endure contumely with
out resentment.

replied. "And those that don't can
make the waffle batter into pam
cakes by adding 4 little more milk
and serving them in similar ways"
THAT is also a very good idea"
commented the Chef. "In Brazil
they make the pancakes and roll
them around a filling Of minced tur-
key in gravy; and in Russia they
make the famous Blinis, which are
pancakes filled with caviar and
served with sour cream. l am sure
that il they had waffle irons they

When the right amount is used the
wafties are tender, and don't stick
to the waffle iron. Really, waffles
can be classed as both sweet and
savory. You can add interesting in
gradients to the batter to make
them fit almost any meal"
Cheese Wafles

delicious, Madame; that is when YOU
add a half cup of grated sharp
cheese to the batter. Perfect to eat

And filbert waffles are marvel

berts, then dry and toast them in
the oven bit; chop and add to the
batter. These are good with butter
and fruit salad"
For the main course of lunch
con or dinner, Madame, you could
have a waffle shortcake. Very at
tractive when the lady cooks them
at the table. Two plain waffles for
each person, put together with
chicken in gravy, or chopped meat
in brown sauce. 1t would also be
good with creamed oysters or
shrimp, or grated tuna fish la
king. And marvellous with the
Welsh rabbit. And it is a help to
the budget because it makes little
meat or fish or cheese go a long
way"
"Rice and cornmeal waffles would
be especially good used that way,
Chef. And, of course, they're per-
feet with sausages for any meal"
"But, Madame, what about the
celebrated crepe Suzette?"
"Those, Monsieur, deserve spe-

even before beginning the climb Of
the slopes Of Mt. Subasio. One re-
lakes, the world and its complexities
fades away, and there il soft sersn-
ity of mind and spirit. It il amaz.
ing how many folks have had this
experience: worldly people who,
generally, would be the last to DO

chanted mist, and one ID conscious
of quiet, no matter how busy the

our favorites is chapel Of 8. Da-

Here Clare founded her order, tho
"Poor Clares," and here St. Francis
was brought in his last illness,

while noblewoman made him out

hut he composed the Cantiels to thu

Wash Fine
Linens
Correctly
By ELEANOR ROSS

NOW is the time that beautiful
table linen comes into it, own. Folks
that use runners and place mats nj.
most the year round, break out the
fine damask as holiday time ap.
proaches.
Fine table linen Is not hard to
care for; in fact, linens are easier
to wash than other fabrics because
linen fibers let 60 Of dirt quicker,
coming clean without soaking, boil
ing or long rubbing. Ten minutes in
a washer is long enough. Use water
as hot as the hands can stand, pos.
sibly two hot sudsings II there are
grease spots to be removed. Rinse
thoroughly in three clear waters.
Washing Preparations
No special care is required, be-
cause linens, unlike synthetic fab
RIGS, are not weakened by being wet.
The same brands Of washing p1spa.
rations that have been found salts.
factory for other fabrics may be
safely used in washing linens. A
water softener, particularly the
type known az . water noymalixer,
is recommended in certain sections
where water is hard, because il pre-
vents the soap from combining with
the mineral in the water to form
sticky curds. The softener should
be completely dissolved in the wash
water before the soap il added. Il
should be used in the first two rinses,
but omitted from the last.
Use Of Bleach
A bottled chlorine bleach, about
a cupful to the average size washer
or tub, may be used it linens are
badly stained. Thoroughly mixed
with the soapy wash water before
the linens are immersed, it will re-
move the usual beverage or fruit
stains, making it unnecessary to
give special attention to each spot
separately. Rinse Immediately in ct
least three waters to remove all
traces Of the bleach. Used properly
and rinsed out at once and COM
pletely, bleach is perfectly safe
and will not "eat" the fabric. For
ordinary soil, however, regular laun-
dering without a bleach will keep
linens snowy white.
Washed as directed. linens do not
usually need bluing. But II blush
cast is desired to give linen whittier
look, the bluing should be well
mixed in the last rinse before linens
are put in. In fact, this is . good
rule for all laundry preparations.
Mix well before adding linens.
Some homemakers like the gloss
and new-bought look q bit Of starch
gives, but very little should be used
as stiff finish is both unattractive
and detrimental.
Dry Correctly
Drying linens correctly is just rs
important factor in assuring long
service and lasting beauty rs the
washing or ironing. Drying linens
in the sunshine is, Of course, the
ideal way. The next best way, par
ticularly in freezing or very windy
weather, is over line indoors, but
away from heat. If an automatic
drier must be used, the temperature
should be kept at room level rs near
as possible so that the drying is
done, not by heat, but by the circu-
lation Of air.
Hang both cloth and napkins fold

corners makes them out Of shape,

Household Hints

If starch sticks to your iron and
leaves a scar, don't in any event
scratch it off with knife, as it may
result in permanent scratches on the
metal plate. If the iron is hot, rub
Il over salt sprinkled on paper.
Starch on a cool iron may be re-
moved by securing with very fine
steel wool or with. moist cloth
dipped in a securing powder.
You can blue your linens with a
soap bluing that is added to the
wash water. or with the liquid kind
added to the last rinse. Both must
be mixed thoroughly before the
clothes are put into the mixture.
