THE EVENING BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE, The tallor-made woman looks her worst in whatever floats, dangles, drips. For her type the straight, se- vere line is imperative. She must be in shipshape condition throughout her life. She has not the chance to hide carelessness in dress- Ing or personal disorder by a multi- tude of accessorles which the other kind of woman keeps in bureau draw- ers, boxes, closets. The severity, the cleanliness, the glittering order of a man-of-war are for her. Possibly, being a woman, it might be more graceful to compare her to a yacht. If she understands her type, this tallored woman, her life is simpli- fied. If she misunderstands it, if she puts desire and theory aubove truth ard fact, she Is in the wrong. Do you remember what the girl sald to the clown in Locke's novel., “The Mountebank,” when urging him to find his luck through knowing his type, by accentuating its defects and AN_UNUSUAL WAY TO WEAR A VEIL, WHICH COLORED LACE, WITH LONG END CAUGHT ON SHOULDER WITH EMERALD BAR PIN. A GREEN BRACELET, WORN .)-;;i\(_)\'fl ELBOW, MATCHES THE never failing to live up to them? He made his fortune, you remember, through following this advice. It is thus that the dressmakers should talk to women. The tailored type has a difficult time in ehoosing clothes, because of her limitations, but she can arrive at actual distinc- tion by accentuating her type, by be- ing proud of it and assuming that it has distinction. But not for her the floating veil, the coquettish jewelry, the bracelet above the elbow, the dangling rose over the eyes. These are the things for the slim woman throwing her effeminacy before and around her as a swinging rose throws its perfume. It is her type—and it is in the ma- jority—that has kept the floating velil in fashion. She does not imitate in it the majesty of the Arab who gave the inspiration to this accessory: she imi- tates the coquetry of Spanish wom- en, who took the long. lace drapery from the mad, mad Moors on their white horses,and made it the symbol of feminine Mmystery and romance. She has tired of the veil in its primi- tive condition. She no longer desires it to float down her back. She feels that it needs character, that it should be made to appear different from what it has been. So what does she do? She draws up its folds and catches them to the right shoulder with a long bar pin, glittering with colored stones; then she runs a brace- ! let up her arm, nearly to the shoulder, so all the world may see she has matched her two pleces of jewelry. Of course these accessories are green, if it Is possible for the woman | with the floating vell to secure them; | that color has caught the world by the throat. Emerald, jade, quartz, | crystal, it's all the same, except to! the purse. HOME ECONOMICS. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JULY 14 Arm Exercises. There is nothing more beautiful than a really well developed and beautiful arm. It is not hard to achieve and can be acquired by every woman who is willing to work for it. You cannot have beautiful arms if you are too stout, for the upper arm will be a mass of flabby flesh and the line from the arm to the shoulder will be one of the ugliest in the body. Neither can you have a beau- titul arm if you are too thin, for in that case the upper arm will be more hollow than the lower and the elbow will make a sharp, unpleasing angle. You must weigh within ten pounds of your proper weight before you can achieve good pro- portions. After that, beautiful arms are only a matter of exercise, the purpose of which is to give them firmness and a pleasing shape. The simplest and most effective exercise that I can recommend is to hold the arms out in front of you with ke hands clenched, and then to draw them back te the shoulders, tensing the muscles as though you were drawing on a great weight or rowing a heavy boat. This is just as affective If )'Olll extend the arms at the sides and pul them back to the shoulders, always re- sisting yourself. You must remember that beautiful arms are a matter of pro- portion and contour, and that exercise helps, more than anythl:\s else, to pro- duce these pleasing contours. To be beautiful the skin of the arms must be of transparent clearness. This is easy enough to achieve, since It is only a matter of scrubbing the arms every day with a stiff bristle complexion brush and a good soap and rinsing them in warm and then cold water. Slizabeth B.—A short bang is in good style and will likely be very becoming to you. Bleach your freckles with lemon Julce or extract from cucumbers. Miss Troubled —The cream that you have been using is not good for your skin. You require one that will soften and feed the skin. There are plenty of good preparations of this kind on the market, but if you prefer to make it, send a stamped, addressed envelope ‘for a formula. Personal Health Service ." By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D Noted Physician and Author (Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygi treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady if a stamped, sl vritten in ink. Owing to the large number of letters received. on Letters should be brief and a few can be answered here. No reply can be Address Dr. William Brady, in care of T} Bronchitis From Sinusitis. Old Doctor Bunkem's almanacs and that widely read biographical work, “Letters of a Simp,” have familiarized the public with the situation of the bronchtal tubes and the very profitable delusion that these tubes are somehow susceptible to all varieties of season, climate and weather. But very few people know what a sinus is. In the first place 1t requires fair intelligence to comprehend that there is such a thing 88 a sinus in the human body— and so Dr. Bunkem never mentioned it in his almanac: v what you will of the business of separating the simp from his change by the facile process of sug- gesting a bunch of symptoms for him and then giving him a fake “guarantee” to cure, there's no denying that the Bunken’s know their clientele. In every case of chronic or long-en- during cough, especially when there is considerable expectoration mornings, the first thing to do is find out whether the trouble is tuberculosis—which can be determined only by careful, perhaps many repeated, examinations of the chest with all clothing removed to the waist. To await the finding of tubercle bacilli in the sputum is to procrastinate unwisely, for lung tuberculosis should be diagnosed long before the germs can be found. in & great many cases. The next thing to do, if_tuberculosis is_positively excluded find out the state of the accessory sinuses of th nose. peaking now of chronic bronchitis, long-enduring coug are four pairs of sinuses, or air in the skull communicating with nasal cavity and lined with mucous membrane like the lining of the nasal cavity and subject to similar inflamma- tions and infections of that membrane. Any so-called “head cold” which fails to clear up completely within two weeks is probably prolonged by a complicating infection of one of these sinuses; par- ticularly when the attack is accom- panied by pronounced headaches or “neuralgia,” or when there is a periodic excessive nasal discharge in the course of the trouble. Many French soldiers who were ayp- posed to have tuberculosis were found, on careful examination, to have cough and bronchitis from a sinus infection. . Dot to diseane d! f-addrensed envelope in inclos made to queries Dot conforming to instruction Most of them got well soon after the sinus infection was remedied. Children with trouble in the nose, sinuses or adenoid region are pretty sure to have more or less cough and are often unsuccessfully treated for bron- chitis_ without regard for the real ori- gin of the trouble. Every child with a persistent cough should be glven a care- ful nose and throat examination and proper treatment for abnormal condi- tions found therein. = In some cases of chronlc bronchitls and cough found to be dependent on | nasal sinus infections the patients de- | clare they have had mo nasal discharge. no head pain and no other sympiom pointing toward nasal trouble. Yet dis- covery of the sinus infection and its reatment brings relief. Victims of chronic bronchitis need waste no time looking in bottles or hoxes for a possible cure. Nor need they chase the will-o'-the-wisp climate, 0 far as any question of a cure is con cerned. But they do need careful medi- cal examinations and study to seek the origin of their trouble.

ELIZABETH KENT. — Tced Acid Beverages. The faverite base for iced beverages nowadays is either lemon or cold tea, and most of them contain both. For plain lemonade of the old-fash- loned kind, still the most healthful, world, make a sirup by boiling a cup water; add a third of cup of lemon juice, cool and dilute to taste with iced water. Such lemon sirup should be bottled and kept on hand, for the economy of sugar, lemon and labor over the ordinary wasteful way of preparing lemonade is very consider- able. For good iced tea, one cannot use just any old tea that happens to be oft in the teapot. One must make fresh tea carefully, pour it off the leaves at once, into a fruit jar, and when It {s almost cool set it on the ice. A little sugar added while it is still hot will sweeten it far more effectively than much added when it s cold. But if one has the lemon sirup on hand, of course, the tea need not be sweetened at all. The cold tea may be used with iced water to dilute the lemon sirup to any desired proportion. For Wellesley tea, have ten or a dozen tresh crushed mint leaves in the glass jar into which the hot tea is strained. Use lemon sirup or not, as desired. Orange juice, the juice of a can of grated pineapple, juice of raspberry, grape, currant, strawberry, cherry and particularly apple, may be used to make a great variety of delicious fruit punches. A bottle of ginger ale added just before serving gives a |good effect and any sort of fruit drink is the better for a cup of cold tea.

P A Great Food Discovery From Rameses I to the the whole wheat grain has been the most perfect food given to man. It contains in proper proportion all the elements needed for building and sus- taining the perfect human body. The problem has been how to make the whole wheat grain digestible in the human stomach. That problem was solved by the man who invented Shredded Wheat In making Shredded Wheat Biscuit:the whole wheat grains are first thoroughly cleaned (no small, broken or defective grains are used), then boiled in steam. The softened grains are then drawn into filmy, porous shreds, which are fcrmed into biscuits (or little loaves) and baked in coal ovens atahigh temperature. This process breaks down the starch cells in the center of the wheat so the digestive fluids can get at them. The mineral saltsand vitamines (so necessary to normal growth) and the bran, which is needed to stimulate “bowel exercise,” are retained.
