THE REVIVAL OF PALE YELLOW BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. It is not every one who can wear Yellow. Those who can should make the best of their good fortune this , for it is the fashion to wemr faint tonmes of the canary's feathers. There is no depth to this shade of yellow. It does not suggest tropical splendor. It has no glint of orange In it. It Is really white brushed over with a eolor. It is cool looking. That fact none can deny. As it is found In the ma- Jority of summer,fabrics, there is no ficulty for a woman to get what 25 likes bes In linen, thin volle, gandie, crepe de chine, it is plenti- ful. There ia a belief among women that crepe de chine is about as cool as muslin, and it is this bellef that keeps the fabric in fashion through- out the year. It is worn as fre- quently today as in the depths of December. , There is no novelty in camary yel- Jow, even though it is the fashion, but there is a novelty in combining it with gray. The expert dress- makers uze a tone of gray that con- trasts with the yellow in an artistic manner. He who thinks of other days would liken the combination to a bottle of chartreuse covered with cobwebs—but such things dannot be mentioned, even in print. The sketch shows this combination of gray and canary yellow in the form of a wrap and froc! The cape is of crepe de chine, trimmed with uncurled gray ostrich, and the shade of the gray crepe frock is exactly that of the cape's plumage. Its drapery is caught at one side with & topaz buckle. Glancing up from heels to head. it might interest women to regard this especial coiffure. Notice that it is arted in the middle, curved out and n to the temples and finished with & bunch of short curls. This carries e back to the days when huge inolines and small fans ruled the inshions. No woman need sniff today at the mention of crinolines. She is likely p wear a good imitation of them be- Yore the first October frost.

Dainty Surroundings. I think I have told before in this column the story of the woman who ‘was really very homely but who gave every one the impression that she ‘was beautiful because she surrounded lLerself with beautiful objects and made her person, her clothes and her home exquisitely dainty. She wasn't rich, in fact, she was rather poor. She wasn’t particularly intelligent nor even very cle ‘What she did any woman cu:(n Like Mrs. X, €¥ery woman wants to seem beautiful. Mrs. X felt that she was somewhat colorless, having drab color hair and small light eyes, so she introduced color into her home. e had walls done in pale vellow to +make a sunny background and against their plainness she put cheery and distinctive looking cretonnes. Where furniture was hopelessiy leavy, cumbersome and ugly, she ‘used bright-toned enamels. . She her- self had an awkward, ungaink fig- pre and felt that she had a somber personality. She did not want to em- phasize this by living with dull back- grounds and heavy furuiture. As she could not spend money buy- ing new and artistic things and as there is a limit even to the possibili- ties of paint and enamel, she found many parts of her house unsatisfac- tory after the rejuvenation. But wherever a room/ did not entirsly please her she put flowers, not ukly rubber plants or stiff palms, but scftly hanging ivy and flowers with colorful blooms. In the summer she made herself a quaint old-fashioned garden. For her clothes she chose not somber black nor trying brown, but soft and dainty colorings. I. L. T. W.—Rosy cheecks -depend upon so many things it is impossible to give a formula that would help you attain them. Often when the skin lacks color it is because of too little oxygen in the blood and deeper breathing, or more exercise that in- duces deep breathing, will correct the trouble. Thin.—Coco butter is nourishing and will assist you in filling out the hollows, but since you are very thin all over, it i3 best to build up your general ~health and increase weight. Drink plenty of milk other nourishing liquids. Auburn Hair.—If you have been eat- ing a great many strawberries this season it would account for this rash that many people are afflicted with at present. A cure means to simplify the diet for a few days and drink plenty of water. An occasional fast for twenty-four hours, while plenty of water is taken, will help clear the system and rid the complexion of blemishes. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. Noted Physician and Author. Fletcherism for Fat Folks. race Fletcher weighed as much asi?17 poghds at one time, and he was sitty-seven inches tall. In 1898 he welghed 205 pounds in summer cloth- ing. Then he began his famous ex- periment (masticating every morsel until the taste had wholly disappear- ed.) In about three months he weigh- ed 163 pounds—the waist measure had been reduced from forty-three to thirty-seven inches. He was then “forty-nine years old. He wrote that “The energy and desire for activity with Immunity from fatigue, which was the characteristic equipment of twenty years ago returned, but not, course...the trained muscular th or suppleness of athletic nvited by appetite” con about thirty ordinary mouthfuls of potato, bread. meat, or anything selected by appetite, masti- cated and manipulated to the end One meal a dly was taken for co venlence and because it seemed, un- der the then existing circumstances, hot summér weather, to be the time set by nature for eating.” ‘That was at midday. He wrote that about daylight and began writing or other work, that by 1 o'clock he usually was “worked. out,” and then he had finished a fair day's work, and stopped for his meal. He experi- enced no craving for anything since the midday meal of the day before. He chose to eat whatever appealed to him on the menu, whether some meat, some fish,.cup of coffee, milk, potato, frult, bread and butter—anything whatever. “About thirty mouthfuls of these, dlsposed of in something Jess than twenty-five hundred acts of mastication or other movement of.the mouth, taking about thirty to thirty-five- minutes, satisfied the ap- petite so perfectly that all the ices yand désserts on a sumptuous bill of fare had mo attraction.” Fletcher urges the sipping of all beverages that have any taste—every- thing except water. He drank very freoly of water, but not when any food was in the mouth. He liked his cafe mu lait thoroughly sweetened, \and he sipped it with much enjoy- Z sweetened coffee satisfied not try to work or think for some time after this midday meal—rather he read, attended a ball game, took a walk, or & ride for two or three hours. New York business men sel- dom dawdle away more than two hours after midday luncheon—but are the champion dawdlers after lunch. I have often ‘wondered how business keeps going so well in New York with all the business out to lunch & large QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. The Stethoscope. Can the stethoscope be relled upon in diagnosing diseases of the lungs or heart? Is it possible for one to have heart trouble which may not be de- tected by the stethoscope?—Miss S. F. Answer. The stethoscope conveys to the doctor's ear the sounds pri duced by the lung or heart, and ex- cludes extraneous sound: that he may concentrate his attention on the character of the sounds of lungs and heart. In many diseases of the heart and nearly all diseases of the lungs these sounds have more or less char: acteristic changes, which tell the doc- toc what is wrong. In some heart diseases, however, the stethoscopic examination is negative. So one might have very grave heart disease which could not be determined by the sound alone. Cempulsery Vaeelination. My daughter ‘will be old enough to enter school this coming term. Is it compulsory to -have her vascinated? Do you know any measures I can take to prevent having her vaccinat- ed?—Mrs. J. A. P. Answer. Probably a certificate from your physician will-suffice, if there is some good reason why vaccination s not advisable now. For the little girl's own protection she should be vaccinated at the earliest oppor- tunity. Unvaccinated, her beaut: liberty and life are to a certain ex- tent jeopardized. B Cress and Onion Salad.

Then there are oretonne parasols, lined ‘with the same material—really a double parasol. And there are 'aw parasols likewise made double, that is, with a straw lining. These are usually decorated wit flowers, either Inside or out. One of the charming details parasols is the little ones. They ought to be carried by a girl wear- ing those fascinating new lace mitts, for they look distinct in the picture with mitts. They are the descendants of the old-fashioned cafriage parasol, with tiited handles, and though they would be of little use in a fast-mov- ing automobile, they would be decid edly useful at a garden party, a tennis tournament, or me other outdoor festivity where parasols of the regu- lar size would crowd the view of a neighbo realty |’ Canning Corn in the Surest Way. Success in canning corn depends much upon the selection of tender, juicy corn which has not yet reached the starchy s:age. If allowed to grow beyond the point of greatest succu- lence it becomes tough and dry and is not canned satisfactorily. Can it as soon -after picking as possible. After removing husks and silk put the cobs in a cheesecloth bag and lower the bag into boling water from one to three minutes (depending upon the tendermess: of the ears: young ears need “blanch this way for-only one minute). dipping” follows, which co: plynging the ba in and out of a pan of cold water. Then the kernels are cut from the cobs as follows: k Some housekeepers like to cut the kernels very close to the cob and do no scraping; this method gives a canned corn with nearly whole sepa- rate kernels. Other housekeepers pre- for to cut off the outer end of the kernel first and then remove the lower end by a second cutting; this plan gives a creamy consistercy to the finished product which I, per- sonally, like best. Still a third style of cutting the corn from the cob is that of slitting the end of the kernel and squeezing out the contents; this method gives a hulless product simi- lar to the commercial “kornlet.” Have sterilized glass jars ready. By “sterilized” I mean jars that have been placed in a pan of warm water, with their covers lying in the pan beside them, and left there till the water has been brought to the boiling corn Bill Peck—the Original Go-Getter—whose achievements in Cosmopolitan—particu- larly the search for the Blue Vase—have been an inspirational creed to thousands of young business men.

Pack the kernels of corn in these hot, .sterilized jars to within one inch of the'top, add one and one-haly teaspouns of salt and sugar mixed together (half in half) and boiling water to cover. InBert a. clean bamboo or smooth wood “paddle” (which is just a nar- row, long “strip of wood) into the jars, to help the boiling water, to permeate to the bottom of the jar, then gemove paddle, put on new rub- bers (which you have dipped quickly in and out of boiling water), adjust the sterilized glass cover and put the top wire up over the cover, but do not press down the side wire. Jf you are using a ‘Mason jar screw down the top only half way. Now ‘comes the ‘“processing.” To be sure, corn may be processed by the one-period cold-pack method— which consists of bolling the jar on a rack in the washboiler for three hours on one day—but the surest method of preessing it is to put the jar into the washboiler for one hour on each of three successive days, keeping them in room temperature overnight between each day’s processing., This method gives the spores not killed by the first boiling of the jar a chance to develop into the easily killed vege- tative form and then 'be destroyed by the second perijod of bofling. And the third period of boiling makes the method doubly safe. After each period of boiling the jars the side wire should be pressed down to completely seal the jar—but this wire must be raised ogain before processing the jar for the second and third time, to take care of the expansion of the sed by the heat.
