A Device in Trimming. So it is the ribbon, suggesting more a wimple than a chin strap, in the costume shown in the sketch to- day that arrests attention. But there is much of interest besides. It is characterlstic of many new frocks that are trimmed with devices clev- erly wrought of their own fabria Here the white mousseline that forms the perfectly plain, scant walst and long, gathered skirt makes the ro- settes that encircle five times the skirt and finish the bottom. In lleu of girdle or belt there is a heading from the gathers of the skirt, with a rosette and streamers of Wwhite velvet at the left side. White, too, is the h: Lately it has been noticed that French women wear black hats with colored frocks, colored hats with black frocks to re- lieve the all-black effect of which Franoe is growing just a little weary. But with white she wears white. Often she wears white shoes and stockings with white frocks, but when she chooses ghoes of black she usu still wears the white stock- ings in place of those of beige or taupe, which seem to have usurped all others with French women now- adays. The Chin Concealed. But it is the chin strap that fin- ishes the picture, makes you look twice and-wonder whether you would dare to affect this chin strap too. Perhaps it is part of the present tendency to show less of the neck and ohin that seems to be making itselt felt in many new French clothes. Many of the frocks and suits shown for autumn show flaring collars and swathings that hide the lower chin and meet the ear tips. Perhaps the woman who revived this fashion had been reading Pierre Loti, who says that women most quickly show signs of coming age just below the chin. But pretty fashions have come before to hide infirmity. Queen Louise of Prussia, far famed for beauty, set the fashion for wearing floating scarfs swathed around her neck because she was marked there with deep scars. And scarfs that swathed the neck came into fashion. More Preserving Recipes. Last week I gave some recipes for preserving plums, and today I am going to print still more plum reci- pes, together with a good peach recipe: Plum Chutney.—Chop four ounces of the large seedless raisins and add to this shree ounces each of chopped uncooked onions and garlic and also two ounces of crushed mustard seed; pound all these ingredients in a wooden chopping bowl with a wooden potato masher until they form a smooth mass, and let stand for later use. Now put into your preserving kettle fourteen ounces of stoned plums with their skins on, add two cups of vinegar, five ounces of sugar, one-half teaspoon of salt and one fourth teaspoon of paprika; aok thi mixture until the plums are very soft, then mash the soft plums in their sirup (use the bottom of a china cup, simply moving the kettle to one side to do the work) and beat in the raisin - onfon - mustard seed mixture which you previously prepared. Add one teaspoon of ground mixed spices (cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nut- meg make a good combination) and, after the chutney has boiled up a mo. ment or two longer, turn it into hot, sterilized glass jars and seal at once. Green Gage Jam.—Wash and pit green gage plums and for each quart of them (measured after pitting) al- low one pint of granulated sugar which has been dissolved in a very little water (just enough to cover the sugar) and brought to a boil. Put this sugar-sirup and the plums in the pre- serving kettle and cook down slowly until very thick. Then turn into hot, sterilized jelly glasses, let cool, and cover with paraffin. Old-time Baked Damson Preserve.— P ATTRACTS ATTENTION BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. £ 18 STAR, 'WASHINGTO STRIKING BUT CHARMING IS THE EFFECT OF WHITE MOUSSE- LINE WITH WHITE VELVET RIBBON HANGING FROM THE WAIST N ) (This is a very fine preserve.) Meas- ure out equal amounts of damson plums and granulated sugar, then proceed to remove the stones from the plums. Place both fruit and sugar in layers in a stone crock and squeeze over all the juice of two lemons; cover the jar and place it in a mod- erately hot oven and let it cook in this way. without stirring, for three hour: Then turn the preserve into hot, sterilized jelly glasses, let cool. and cover with melted paraffin. Grandmother used the old stome crock as I have directed, but of course any covered baking dish or casserole may be used instead, if desired. Peach Catsup.—(Very good to use |on cold meats.) Pare, pit and quarter a peck of firm, ripe peaches (or blanch them and remove skins, y putting them in a cheesecloth bag and lowering them into bo g water {for about two minutes, then remov- ing from the kettle and plunging }(hmfor a second in cold water; the | skins may then be rubbed off). ow take the skins of this peck of peaches and put them into your preserving kettle with two cups of water and twelve sliced kernels; let simmer thirty minutes, then strain. Return the strained liquid to the preserving kettle, add the peeled and quartered peache: let simmer for thirty minutes longer, then add one cup of vinegar, one-half cup of lemon juice, one-half cup granulated sugar, one teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and ginger, one-half _ teaspoon each of ground cloves, mace and allspice, and one- fourth teaspoon of white pepper. Boil this mixture until as thick as tomato catsup, then pour it into hot. steri- lized glass bottles. cook while hot, and stick the corked bbttle neck quite deep in melted paraffin to render air- tight. HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS BY M. JESSIE LEITCH. Slipping Down in Bed. The tall boy, who was fuming because he was spending the summer vacation in bed, looked up rather wearily from the shapelessness of the bed in which he was huddled. The boy from across the way, who had been ill most of the previous winter, and was therefore full of sympathy for his neighbor, stood in the doorway a moment, then approached the bed with a grin. “'Lo, Tommie,” he said. *Thought you were trying to hang yourself from the foot of the bed. Where's your head?” Tommy scowled, “My head's all right,” he said. “It's- my feet. Too long for the bed. Keep sticking out through the rails at the foot. If stay- ing in bed for a month is going to be as bad as it's been for a week I'm going to get_up.” And Tommie raised himself s elbow, only to fall back on the pillows with a sense of utter helplessness. Things went black. He heard Bill's vofce as though | ciouds of choking darkness. Tommie Faints in Bed. Then- there was water on his face, and Bill, looking a trifle white, was saying: “Look here, old chap, if you do that again they won't let me come up to see you at all. Fainting away Just like a silly achoolgirl! I'm ashamed of you.” . And Tommie, with pins and needles in his hands and feet, was saying foolishly, “I didnt faint. Whasamat- ter?’ 3 Fortunately Tommie's mother, his 1f-appointed nurse, was not in the room. She would have been consid- erably more disturbed than friend Bill was by the weakness of her boy. But Bill was disturbed, though it ‘wasn’t his way to show it. He sat down near the bed and said: “The trouble with you is that you are tdo heavy and too long for that bed. And T bet you're a dead weight when the folks try to prop you up. Think I'll ask your mother if she doesn’t want an orderly.” And he sauntered out of the room. Downstairs he offered his services with a captivating three-cornered smile. Friend Bill Is Helpful. *“I-think Ill stick around and help _.=—____————-_E‘ yQu with Tommie” he said to Tom- mie's mother, who was beating eggs and measuring milk ond sugar into three glasses. She always prepared Tommie's daily egg drinks at one time. For he took three a day, with milk in between, and it was a time saver to have them ready in thg ice- | box when it was time to serve them. Bill grated nutmeg rather nonchalantly over the ki‘chen table. Then they went upstairs and Bill id, with the air of one who knew: “Tommie has slipped so far down in bed, I think we should pull him up. You'slip your arms behind his shoul- ders, and T'll do the rest. “Lean your head against Yyour mother, Tom. You're lucky to have a mother to iean your head against.” And the motherless Bill looked wist- fully at his chum's mother as he ipulled the mattress higher on the springs with gentle strength. Quickly dnd deftly the boy took all the pillows from the bed, plumped them up, and piled them, one on top of the other, at the head of the bed. Four pillows he found sufficient. Then, slipping one arm under Tom- mie's knees and another around his shoulders, he lifted him easily, and the boy sank comfortably back against _the pillows. slip,” he murmured. “Oh, no. you won't. Not when I get through with you.” And Bill called for a strong bandage and a| pillow. The bandage was of stout cotton. Otherwise a clothesline rope would have answered. ‘The pillow, doubled over the broad bandage. was placed under Tommie's knees. The bandage, on either side of the bed, was passed through the wires of the wire mattress and the side bar of the bed on a line with the pillow. ‘The bandage was tied securely at %h‘e, side and also at the head of the ed. B!il ow, I'll dare you to slip,” teased And Tommie, a trifle tired with the exertion of befng moved, even 8o com- fortably, said: “F' if it's a phys. jcal impossibility. Thanks a lot, Bill.

And l;'l.ll. wl;lflovlho ’vn‘l!.° punished sundry pleces e in tchen as he talked to Tommie's mothes, D. ‘When You Buy Shoes. commented on the fact that & wom- an h recently come into his store asking for a shoe in size 8 AA. Not assortment of shoes measured the wom- an's- shoe and found that her foot really measured to a 5§ D shoe. He told her this, but she denied it. She rather resented the suggestion that she had a foot that was wide. She preferred her double A, even when it was an 8. However, ‘they com- promised, she and the shoo salesman, and she went away with a 6 C. As this woman had worn her shoes, the ball of Mer foot came ‘where the instep should have come. The long narrow. shoe was not suited to her foot at all; hence she had to get it out of all proportion in length. There are all sorts of misfittings of shoes nowadays, but in the ma- jority of cases these are due to the people who buy the shoes who have certain prejudices and preconceived notions "of what_ size shoes they should wear. If they feel convinced their foot is narrow then the sales- man simply has to give them a shoe long enough in that width to accom- modate the foot. With the long, nar- row last that still seems to persist most women do buy shoes that are much longer than their feet in or- der to be able to wear them with anything like comfort. Now, it geally is a very good plan to let the shoe dealer measure your foot carefully before fitting your shoe. In shoe shops where a spe- clalty is made of fitting unusual feet trained salespeople not only measure the feet, but feel of the bony structure of the foot and make careful observation, so as to know Just what type of shoe it requires. LISTEN, WORLD! BY ELSIE ROBINSON. C, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1921 Excessive Perspiration. The hot summer days are an annoy- ance to many women because the heat makes them perspire so freely. It is physically healthy to perspire, but it is also physically uncomfortable, and no one can be blamed for trying to stop a certain amount of the moisture. Personally, 1 never advise any of the preparations which actually stop perspiration. The pores of the skin must act freely, for there is a quan- tity of waste matter which is poison- ous, which the system is constantly throwing off. The pores under the arms are particularly active. To stop this action absolutely, even over a small area, is really dangerous in the case of women with sensitive skins. But excessive perspiration is a sign of nervousness or poor health and is not natural. There is a perectly harm- less l6tion which will permit normal perspiration, but which will prevent an excessive amount. As you can see from the formula, it is perfectly harm- less: 3 ounces % pint 4 pints 4 ounces Mix the salts, bran and water and let stand over night. Then strain and add the best quality bay rum. This will also neutralize the dis- agreeable odor, which is the most un- pleasant thing about perspiration. You can use this as freely and as often as you wish. At the same time re- member to wear thin, loose clothing, to avold tight bandi antiseptic talcum powder liberally when you rre dressing. I am sure if you follow these simple directions you will not be troubled with exces- sive perspiration. Slender.—Send an addressed stamp- ed envelope for the formula. Deep breathing will develop all the muscles of the chest, including the bust. L. R. K—A sallow skin indicates a sluggish liver. Correct it by eating more green vegetables and salads, in- stead of so many starchy ones. Sub- titute bran bread for that 2rom white flour and drink plents wf water. Waiting.—Your i:iénd should con- y | sult an oculist at once.-and avoid a serious condition with her eves. Judith.—Heat waves usually come from some internal disturbance, such as a suppresion of the natural func- tioning of some organ that also reacts in the form of nervousness. The breaking out into perpiration is just nature trying to relieye the condition. Consult your doctor. Huckleberry Pie. ‘Wash well and pick the stems from one quart of huckleberries. Line a ple plate with paste and put in the berries one-half an inch deep, put one-half cup of brown sugar on the huckleberries and dredge one tea- spoon of fi6ur over them. Sprinkle a little salt and a little grated nutmeg over them, cover the ple with pastry, cut a glit in the center, press the two crusts together around the edge, trim it off neatly with a sharp knife and bake in a quick oven for three-fourths of an hour, WOMAN’S PAGE. Somdond A man named John complains that his wife “isn’t a good sport.” He says that she won't play the game, that she makes excuses, fibs, slides out of things, betrays confldences, won't acknowledge she's in the wrong—in fact, won't “play fair” generally. John, values fair play ex- ceedingly, and his lady wife—much as he loves her—peeves him exceed- ingl; Nt mapy women are not “good sports.”” But it's unfair to blame them, as John does. Stop and oonsider the reason why they're not—why, indeed, it would be almost a miracle if they were. How did these “sporting” rules for human conduct, which John so ad- mires, arrive? Not by spiritual spon- taneous combustferi;’ you may be sure —but, by eyerlasting knocking about, mingling with other people, learing hy Kicks and smiles, profits and losses, what things pay and what things don’'t. “Fair play” is simply an- other .name for the most »xnedlentl and profitable way to get along with yourself and the other fellow. By such experiences have men become “good sports” But women have not had such ex- periences. They have. until recent lyears, led four-wall lives. Naturally, they developed four-wall philosophies end stratagems. They went after what was needed by the methods best suited to their lives—just as the men did. Then suddenly the four walls fell down. And now the man named John is complaining that his wife isn't a good sport. Have patience, old man! What do you expect? Let her get acclimated.
