USE OF CONTRASTING MATERIALS BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. Woe is the fat woman! Her sisters {Who weep with her are those who have large hips, even if they have thin necka and short walsts, even if have long legs. The only optimism recently shown by these women took the form of hope that when fashions changed it would be for their good. Not so. Fashions are changing, but they are more for the slim and the youthful than ever. It's a sad world for those who have not these two qualities. Here are some of the features of fushion that bewilder and irritate the woman who is not a first cousin to a planked shad. who cannot imi- tate un eel and_who nothing in common with Kipling’s description of a slim figure as a “lance at rest." 1f sldeves are long. for instance, they are apt to be full. If they are three-quarters long, they are bell- shape. The neck is no longer plain when it is cut to a deep V. It is finished with a single or triple fichu which rises high at the back of the neck. The topless corset, which is more and more acceptable to women in this country. permits a hip line instead of a waist line. but it culls for a flat_diaphragm. Skirts are wider even when they are not longer; they Floral fabrics are are usually both. in fashion and such things as ap- plied roses, garlands of flowers, em- broidered designs are frequent The main trouble at the moment is the insertion of wide bands in the ckirt and bodice, These break a figure to bits. They widen it to | barrel dimensions. And to top the cliniax. almost adding insult to in- {dury where the :tout woman is con- verned. is the insistence upon taffeta as the fabric for autumn, if not for began the mis- built of bands of lor “and white, of buff and of bluck and white.

In- deed, one who has the healthful habit of straightening up perfectly erect every hour, sitting or . standing.! knows that this clears and brightens the mind. Sagging of stomach, colon or other viscera is five times as frequent among women as among men. owing to the effects of corsets. which take up in a makeshift way the work that should be done by the abdom- inal, hip and lumbar muscles: these muscles atrophy and weaken from lack of use, and a vicious slumping follows. In time this slumping and relaxation is communicated to the internal organs and their supports, and ptosis or displacement occurs.

Buy some large glass sugar shakers with perforated aluminum tops—you can usually get them for 10 cents apiece. Into one put a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar to have on hand when making cinnamon toast or when needed to sprinkle on hot scones, pancakes or toasted English muffins. Keep the other fllled with flour. It is convenient when vou need to sprinkle flour in the dripping pan in which & roast has heen cooked in making gravy, and is useful also to sprinkle flour over a greased cake pan. Cake never sticks to pans that have first been greased and then sprinkled lightly with flour. Some cooks like to make a mixture of sult, black pepper, red pepper, cclery salt and possibly other seasonings, mixed in the right proportion, to use in seasoning gravies and meats The old-fashioned cook prefers a broom corn for testing cake to any other device. It is not a good plan to pluck & broom corn from a dusty broom. Better buy u cheap brush broom for the pur- pose and have the broom corns in a glass jar where you can keep them free from dust. Perhaps you can get some broom corn somewhere and keep it for this purpose without going to the ex- pense of buying the brush broom. A gcod plan for summer would be to ac- quire some broom corn from some farmer and then put it up in attractive little containers to give to your housewifely friends who would appreciate a little remembrance of that sort.

A Slight Turn. T have a siight turn in my left eye. and am very sensitive about it. S0 that I seldom go anywhere, I have worn glasses for years. but they Can you have never helped the ey give me any advice regarding this? (Cape Cod.) Answer—If it is squint or cross- eye. and the diverging eye i3 not blind (as often happens in long- standing cases) the eye may be straightened by operation by a good oculist. Forty Glaswes a Day. 1 drink from thirty to forty glasses of water every day. Friends tell me it will do me harm. Is it too much? J. 3 L) Answer—Not necessarily. Perhaps your work or play induces free per- spiration and you require more water than those whose cooling system -is under less stress. Exg Shells. Are eggshells good to eat? How do they affect one? I have a notion there is lime in them that may be good for the stomach. (R. A.) Answer—Eggshell is almost pure lime carbonate (about 94 per cent). It is often advisable to dered eggshell with the salt in the saltcellars, about equal amounts of each, to supply the deficiency of lime in the average city dweller's dena- turized food. I do not know that it would have any special effect on the atomach. In any case it can do no bhar ing it.
