The other is the double waistline. The third is the addition of startling lin- gerie collar and cuffs. The sketch shows one of these. It is of blue crepe de chine, which has become as popular as black. Pos- sibly it is the next best thing in the minds of those who do not wish to embark on gay colors. The skirt is pleated, but not drawn in at the hips, keeping the line straight from shoul- der to hem, but presenting something newer than the chemise frock. The long-waisted blouse has sufficient fullness under the arms to keep it from the ugly, tightly drawn effect across bust and shoulder blades that far too many of the recent gowns gave to the beholder. This is a signal improvement. The long sleeves are made ornate and more graceful by sling cuffs, wide and of double thick- ness of beige handkerchief linen to match the collar. Neither of these accessories hides its light under a bushel the They have sprung into brilliancy e robins on a lawn after a rain. The blouse and skirt are joined at the hipline, where a belt is expected. The marking there is sufficiently firm to have a meaning. one that conv to the public that the wearer know quite well where belts are supposed to go. Yet, just for the fun of the thing they show another one to prove that the normal n. is the place where belts will soon go. Some of the smart women do not take the trouble to accentuate both tricks. They frankly wear their belts where their waist is marked. The hipline must go into the discard when these things are being done. And it will not be in fashion long. This is well for the average, or rather typi- al. American figure. For this pur- p there are colored suede belts, others of shining leather, not with the several metallic ornaments, but merely a simple buckle, or a chain of metal links. The dog laash is well in_the lead. as is the dog collar kind The house of Callot introduced these last August, so they are not new to a few exclusive dressmakers, but they are new to the mass of peo- ple.

Peter Rabbit had lived so long in the dear Old Briarpatch, with no one elss there excepting the mem- bers of his own family, that when he discovered Johnny Chuck and Polly Chuck and the four little Chucks right_in the very middle of the dear Old Briarpatch he was quite upset. Yes. sir. he was so. He was quite upset. It wasn't that he minded their being there. He didn’t. He Wwas glad they were there. He was glad that they had escaped from Reddy Fox.

It was long past midnight. In John's easy chair beside her sat gray-haired Nan Blaisdell quletly walting for Merry's tempest of tears to subside. The older woman was more nervous than she was willing to admit. For the Blal and John Lindsay and “Yumpy” John- n had not yet returned from their arch for young Gresham. When Merriam had come in over an hour before, nearly spent from an e ing of miserable mishaps, Nan had wisely advised a hot heated milk, and forced Merry to drink it; had wrapped her in a shab- by brown velvet dressing gown ,and brought her down to the fire to “cry it ou “There now,” she counseled, “finish It off, quick!

He is still Jerry’s guest and that makes him my “guest.

He's & rather pathetic sort, young Gres- ham is." “Oh, I kno Merriam lifted her head indignantly. “I thought so too, for a while. He just played on m: mpathetic side first off—all tha stuff about his going to war and be- ing shell-shocked and his mother wheedling him back to college—and how blue he gets—ugh!” She shivered. “But when he struck at Rich’ and sent him sliding down over tho;{e rocks——' e My own theory ance is this—that when to get that water he w fuddled.

New York territory couldn’t help being “milk land” It had to be the “milk land” of the Union. Iowa could raise corn. Maine had her potatoes. Georgia says “‘cotton, ” and Texas spells “cattle.” But New York’s soil, rainfall, seasons, and climate generally made it the “Dairy State.” There are approximately 70,000 picked farmers in the New York State territory who belong to the Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association, Inc., farmers who have clean, regularly inspected barns and clean, healthy cows. They are the Dairymen’s League. Instead of 70,000 ideas re- garding the production and distribution of milk and dairy products, they decided to have a single standard of purity and quality—the highest that human endeavor could make. When they put their collective name on anything, it is good. So you can buy Dairymen’s League Evapor- ated or Condensed Milk knowing that it is rich, “creamy milk,” that it is pure and good and comes from the “dairy territory.” It is good today. It will be good tomorrow and next year, for the life-work of these 70,000 farmers is to see that the dairy products of the Dairymen’s League are kept up to the standard that has been set.

Vigor—strength—beauty of health from a delicious vitamin food A delicious- vitamin food is bringing new health, new strength, new ener; to thousands—why? Because vitamins are the life in food vitalizing spark that builds the food materials into flesh and blood and bone. Recent dietetic science has proven there are millions of people only half alive, only half enjoying themselves, living continually in a state of ill health, simply because they are starving for vitamins. Yet in many of our modem foods the life-giving essentials have been destroyed. Cold storage, overcooking, canning, contact with metal and preserving (all processes necessary to transport food to cities) destroy the vitamins. Veges suppiies the lost vitamins. What Is Vegex ? . Vegex is the purest of pure foods—eoluble pro- teins, and mineral saits made fimu-pdnlly rich quality of yeast. From twelve pounds of this yeast one pound of Vegex is extracted.
