Shapely Shoulders. A woman’s shoulders can be so beautiful with a little effort on her part that it seems a shame that any woman should go through life with- out having beautiful or at least shapely ders. The shoulders are particularly im- throat breathing exercises are mous benefit. s Daintiness. Do you always look dainty?

These few extra minutes are well spent, since they make so much difference in your ap- pearance.

Every woman against a great weight. This is par- ticularly good for developing the lit- tle hollows which come between the Quick Dinners for the Business Girl Cook. *Please tell me through your column of some quick dinners which could be prepared after business hours,” writes & reader of this column who signs herself “Business Girl Bride” “There are hundreds of women, both married and unmarried, who must return from work to into a kitchen and cook dinper. I am sure an article on this subject would be appreciated by others besides myself. The following menus are for din- ners which can be prepared in one-| half hour, or less, on any kind of range that has an oven and tou sur- face. But with the aid of a fireless cooker the business girl could, of ocourse, have much_greater scope in her cooking; for she could put into the “fireless” such foods as require long cooking before starting to busi- mness in the morning and thus be saved the nuisance of cooking after business hours, as well as gaining wider food- loty. I will be glad to send “directions for making a fireless cooker” to any reader ‘who sends me a stamped, self-address- ed envelope.

Cornstarch pudding is one of the quickest desserts that can be made, as it simply needs to boil up for a few minutes before being served. _ Calves’ Liver (or Beef's) Baked Corn Stewed Prunes Stew the liver in the frying pan for fifteen minutes in water to cover, then drain off the water and fry it in the same pan for another fifteen min- utes, when it will be done. No pota- toes’ are needed when corn is served (corm, like potatoes, contains much | starch); and in making it, simply turn a can of corn into a baking dish, sea- son well, and stir into it one un- beaten egg (the egg may be omitted if desired), then bake for twenty minutes. The prunes must have been soaked overnight and all day, then boiled in water to cover for thirty minutes. Pork Chops Mashed Potatoes Baked Tomatoes Bananas and Oranges Sliced and Sweetened To make the baked tomato dish in this menu, simply turn a can of to- matoes into a baking dish, season, add one-quarter pound of American cheese cut small, and bake for twenty min- utes.

The minister's wife was having a s party for the heathen. So her small son sald, when he met the school teacher on the street ome afternoon. And he coulds’t quite un- derstand when the teacher, who was on her way to the party, tried to ex- plain to him that the party was for the benefit of the heathen, not ac- an entertainment for them. “But father said it was for the beathen” persisted the small boy. Disappointed, because it was only an ordinary “tea” after all that his| mother was giving, he left the teach- | er at the front door, went around to | the back door and trailed up the back stairs Bennie hated afternoon i But presently the lure of ice cream, | for he had seen the freezer on the | back porch, and the thoughts of chocolate cake, and sandwiches that | Jrere fall of ‘tomatoes and lettuce. | sent him half way down the f. 1 ront | Boy Falls Downstairs. | Descending slowly with his tum- ®led hair in his eyes, and a great desire t0 see as much as he could | See without being seen, and lnddcnl-‘ ally locate the chocolate cake and the tce cream, Bennle stumbled.

Roller shades are a comparatively recent invention. Our grandmothers id not always have them, and not S0 many years ago houses were fre- quently made with inside shutters— dreadful things to dust they were— that took the place of inside shades. And now they seem to be universal, at least in this country. The builder Wwho puts up houses on speculation knows that he must have the house provided with roller shades to please a possible buyer. And doubtless they are the b device that has ever been !houxhte:; to regulate the influx of light into a room and to shield the room from view when lights are lighted at night. It would be rather dificult for any one to get along without them in these days. However, there are some persons who do not like the effect that is given in a room in which the shades are drawn half- way down the window, and some women prefer to have their windows ung with drn.whcurlulnl that can be pulled across the window of the shade. ot It possible you should have your drapery curtains placed 8o that they come between the room and the shade. This softens the effect of the ide and makes it less conspicuous. Th 1 color for roller shades e s to be a sort of ecru s discolored in sunlight to a darker tone, almost a brown.
