WOMAN’S PAGE Suspender Skirt; __THE EVENING STAR, Peasant Blouse BY MARY MARSHALL. Like Scotch plaids, bobbed heads and fnnumerable other details of present- day fashions, peasant blouses can be remotely traced to the war. Or rather, in the case of the peasant blouse, to the aftermath of the war. Both in London and Paris Russlan. aristo- crats, driven from their old homes, frequently opened shops as makers of women’s clothes, Some of them have taken rank with the great dress- makers in Paris, others carry on a PEASANT BLOU WORN WITH SUSPENDER SKIRT. sir linens, blouses and small : mbroidered in they the Ny we shion some three What made it asant” was the ess around the )£ running the neck line and 3 peasant | sleeve s is gathered into a tied in a the wrist, which narrow band, sometimes little bow. Quite recently the occasion has come for an immensely increased in terest in this type of blouse. This is due to the suspender skirt, which appears at its best when combined with just this sort of blouse. The sketch shows one of the new straight- line suspender skirts of navy blue cloth, worn with a blouse of white volle showing bright-colored cross- stitch embroidery. With the peasant blouse designed to be worn with the suspender skirt the embroidery appears on sleeves and a little at the front. However, there are tunic blouses of the peasant sort that show elaborate embroidery all the way down. And these tunic blouses are well chosen for Spring and Summer, either in cotton voile or in white or light-tinted crepe de { chine.

FEATURES. | Gerara H What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE, Pisces. No strong emotions will be stirred during the early part of the day. On the contrary, a placid atmosphere will prevail, inviting self-satisfaction and peace of mind, which will in no way dlscourage the carrying out of ordinary obligations in a conscien- tious manner. Toward noon the as- pects undergo a very decided change. While dissatisfaction with existing conditions will manifest itself, there will also be experfenced a strong urge to make changes, or to do something out of the ordinary, and the vibrations will be of so responsive a character as to justify exceptional action, pro- vided it does not imply either specula- tion or risk, and is the result of care- ful deliberation. The signs denote a fair measure of health and success for any child born tomorrow, although it will be very essential during the infantile period to regulate nutrition and enforce methodical habits. The child, as it de- velops into adolescence, will prove to be, both physically and tempera- mentally, a devotes of habit, with very little originality and entirely lacking in initiative. What it finally becomes will depend, more so than is usual, on the rules it is taught to obey and the customs it is influenced to form during the character forma- tion perfod. It will ordinarily have a receptive mind, but, once It has ace quired a habit, be it good or bad, very strenuous measures will be found nec- essary to persuade it to change. You, if tomorrow is your birthday, are too much affected by material and too little by spiritual aspeets. You, largely in keeping with the tendency of the times, set too high a value on results—no matter how obtained— than on the blessings of love, com- panionship, p and learning. If a woman, you set your mind on ing up with the Jone on the making of your home a harbor of rest and a haven of contentment If a man, you are so busily occupled in speculating on what you can legiti- mately put over on your neighbor, or wondering what your neighbor may try to put over illegitimately on you, that vou negleot the worth-while thihgs that count. No one will decry an ambition to succeed, but any effort that starves either the intellect or the soul is not worthy of emulation, or even approval You have man and are the good fundamental h which you were endowed, are not given the opportunity they de- serve to develop into blessings, either attractive qualities personally very Ilikable, but haracteristics, for you or for others.

There is a taboo against feeding raw vegetables or even raw fruits to children under 4 years of age particularly in the summer time. I am not prepared to overturn all the rulings laid down by the masters bout this. I should feed my own pung children almost everything I have mentioned, but in only minute quantities at first and very care- fully scraped or broken up and run through a coarse seive to remove the corser woody fiber, which is not so readily handled by the digestion of an infant. As for feeding very young children raw fruit, this, too, is in my judgment a healthful and advisable practice, provided the fruit is thor- oughly ripe and unquestionably clean. Fruit purchased in the market sometimes seriously contaminated by filthy handlers or diseased handler: and for that reason it must be car fully washed if it is to be eaten raw. Any excess or error in feeding a young child raw v bles or raw fruit may cause an upset, but it does not cause any serious illness. There are several reasons why we should eat more raw food. From such sources we get the vitamins in their richest concentration. We need also the mineral matter, the mineral salts, which are furnished by raw foods, particularly green stuff. Cooking ex tracts and wastes considerable of this mineral food. We need the gentle natural stimulus to digestion, and especially to intestinal digestion which the roughage, the cellulose, the indigestible woody fiber in raw vegetables and fruits give us, (Copyright, 1925.)

All the time and work you used to spend in rubbing bar soap on the clothes and then rubbing them—you save with Rinso. Its tiny granules dissolve quickly, com- pletely, making the wash water soapy all through. Gently, harmlessly the dirt is loosened while the clothes soak.
