In the great laboratory of American spring fashions, Palm Beach, Miami, Hot Springs, Afken and the other southern resorts serve as the test tubes where are tried out the various formulas of new styles. According to the reactions that take place there we may be guided for what will almost surely take place as the season ad- vances and the sun becomes brighter and warmer in the north. So we watch the trend of fashionsas they are developed by a comparative | few with rather more interest than! ‘would be the case if this had no direct and definite bearing on what the many were going to wear later. Matter of Paychology. It is not that women slavish follow the fashions adopted by those at the southern resorts. Human nature is much the same the country over. More- over, these women in the southern west, north and south. pretty typical of American women in general. If it proves to be the psy- chological moment for a certain type of hat or wrap or frock to appeal to them it will pretty surely be the psy- chological moment later for this same conceit to appeal to women ‘who stay at home and must wait for epring to come to them in its own &ood season. ‘We take a hyacinth bulb and bring it into our steam-heated rooms, water it and coax it with the sunshine first in this window and then in that and it comes to blossom. This gives us an fdea of what sort of blossoms will eome to the same sort of bulbs when we plant them later in our gardens. The women in Palm Beach are but the hothouse hyacinths that we may ‘watch blossom out in spring and sum- mer clothes, coaxed and fostered by the warm southern sunshine. The fact that parasols are making a prominent place for themselves at these southern resorts is one that relates to the affairs of many women chiefly in that it indicates that para- ®ols will later enjoy a country-wide favor among women who take pains concerning dress and dress accesso- Ties. A Revived Interest. For several seasons past parasols have been merely holding their own. ‘Women tried to content themselves with combination sunshade-umbrel- las, of substantial and useful con- struction, but lacking in that coquetry that always seems to be the inalien- able right of a parasol. This spring the selection seems to be in favor of parasols that are merely parasols, and the makers of parasols have shown cleverness and taste in their Ppresentation of novelties.

Duvetyn, by the way, has passed the experimental state as a fabric for the construction of parasols. Rather useless as sunshades are those parasols made of net or lace, in evidence at Palm Beach and other resorts. Some of the net parasols are made with many spokes, a silk tassel falling from the end of every spoke. More substantial are the parasols which, though made of chiffon, are trimmed with ruffles of plaited or gathered taffeta. Parasols to match the morning frock of gingham are luxuries to be enjoyed only by the woman who can have a score or more parasols in her wardrobe. there. There is something queer here. There is a mystery in this old | windfall.” And because there was a mystery there Peter and Jumper couldn’t help being little afraid of that great windfall. They lost no time in get- ting away from it. But they didn't get so far that they couldn’t watch it. They would sit for the. longest time staring at it and not saying s o) (Copyright, 1921, by T. W.

Two Wholesome Dinners for Chil- dren. “Please publish some dinners for young children (ages six and eight),” writes a reader of this column who signs herself “Auntie.” “My little nieces are coming to visit me for two days and I haven't the slightest idea i what they ought to eat!” The follow- ing two dinner menus are suitable for children of this age: amb_Chops. ed Potatoes. Creamed Spinach. Milk. Children’s Sponge Cup Cakes. Children's Sponge Cup Cakes—Break two egss into a cup and fill the cup with top-milk or cream. Mix and sift one and one-half cups of flour, |one cup sugar, and two teaspoons baking powder. Put both mixtures into a bowl (that is, the egg and milk and the ¢dry ingredients) and beat all together vigorously for five minutes. Then turn into buttered muflin rings and bake for ten min- utes in a hot oven. Fresh Fish Mashed Potatoes. Creamed Peas Milk. Children's Apple Pudding.

BY Laura A Kirkman Cover these sliced apples with sugar enough to sweeten, one teaspoon cin- namon, and bits of butter. Pour over this the following batter: Mix together and sift one and one- half cups flour, one teaspoon Salt two teaspoons baking powder; rub into this mixture one tablespoon shortening; add enough water to make a batter a little thinner than cake batter. When this batter is poured over the apples in the baking dish. bake for thirty minutes in a medium oven. Serve with the following sauce: Sauce for Children’s Apple Pudding —Mix one-half cup of sugar with a little cold water, and two tablespoons of flour. Pour boiling water over this until it clears. then cook until thick enough to serve; after which id one teaspoon vanilla and a large lump of butter. If a large spoonful of grape jelly be also added. this sauce will be even more delicious. The following simple cookies are nice to offer children between meals: Sand Cookies—Cream together one cup butter and one and one-half cups brown sugar; beat the yolks of two eggs and the white of one, then add these to the sugar and butter; now sift together three and one-half cups flour, one teaspoon soda, and two teaspoons cream of tartar, adding this to the mixture. Roll very thin, cut with a cookie cutter, brush the tops with the white of one egg. sprinkle with cinnamon and sugor mix2d, and bake from six to eight minutes in a medium oven. a HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS SIE LEITCH. “Ask Mother If She Saw It.” “Mother, do you know where the boracic powder is’ called a lusty voice over the balustrade. The wom- an, wWho was hurrying three small sons through their suppers that they might not be late for the party at the church hall, called wearily: ever seems to be where a fellow can find it lately in this house. Those youngsters never put anything back Wwhere it belongs.” And the tallest son, absorbed in the business of shav- {ing—still a novelty to be taken with ‘extreme seriousness by the rest of the family—went back to the bath- room and slammed the door. An instant later, the twins and John, jr. having been bundled off to the church, this average mother went back to her untasted supper. The daughter of the house, who had been at the swimming pool and was, therefore, late for supper, rushed in with a cut finger wrapped up in a handkerchief.

One of the questions that are quently asked me concerns the best method of removing superfluous hair from ‘the face. My answer must al- ways be the same. There is only one permanent way of taking hair from the face, and that is by the electric needle method. Now it is very difficult to tell very much about | this method, because its price and| its results vary so in different cities. fre- The aquickest, cheapest and most satisfactory way is what is called the “multiple ~needle process.” This means that several needles are in- | serted where the hairs grow and then a tiny shock of electricity sent into them, not enougk *n hurt, but| only enough to kill the hairs. | This is quicker than the single | needle process. It takes off more hairs in the same length of time and . about 10 per cent of them come peroxide. back. In the single needle process about 25 per cent come back. This is due to the presence of another hair in the follic’'s, Which Erows after the first has @>en Killed. Charges for the. treatments Vary from about $1 to $5 an hour, and anywhere from ten to fifty or more hairs can be killed in an hour’s treat- ment. If you cannot reach an elec- tric needle specialist, the best thing vou can do is to bleach the place Where the hairs grow by using a mixture of equal parts of peroxide and household ammonia. Thia Wwill | make the light growth of hair in- will discourage a new visible and growth. The prominent hairs can be pulled out with tweezers. New hairs may grow in, but they can be pulled out again and the process is perfectly harmless. These little tweezers can be purchased in any drug or depart- ment _store.

Enormous amounts were paid for silk stockings. To be sure, some very few notoriety seekers went stockingless, but this S never a real fad, and certainly could not have effected any real economy.

But the satisfaction Things You'll Like to Many of the new slippers for even- ing w show the slipper bracelet. You can easily add the bracelet to we take is really more in the covmlur( of not having our arms incased in kid or fabric. As it is now, we may go gloveless for dances, dinners. receptions—an where, in fact, where to do so does not mean that our hands are bare in the street.
