WOMAN’S PAGE, New Flaring Silhouette Approved BY MARY MARSHALL. ! ! You hear on every side that the yresent mode 18 pre-eminently the node of youth, Never before, we are told, has the young girl been'so en- urely queen of fashion. To retain the figure of a girl of 20 is good—to re- iain that of @ girl of 16 {s even better. And yet, strange as it may seem, ‘WELL CHOSEN FOR THE STOUT [« WOMAN IS THIS MAN-TAILORED SUIT OF BROWN KASHA WITH BROWN FUR COLLAR. fashions are rather kind nowadays to the fat woman. They do not condone any of her extra pounds. They offer every inducement for diminished diet and rigid exercise that will give her slenderer, straighter lines, but they certainly offer excellent opportunities A Hobby. When a child is about 8 years old he or she begins to show decided tastes in occupation and deep -interest in things that touch (h.e,lxt)z in home and school. Collections are begun and jobs bargained for and a new sort of ques- tion 1s asked: “What can I do with this and what can it do for me? This phase of growth is important to the character of the child. Encour- age him to make his collections and hold him to his line of interest as long as possible. But don't expect too much of it. The interest shifts often and very rapidly. A hobby that lasts more than a school term is unusual and is very likely to prove.a life job. The interest that is intense for the first three weeks simmers for the next three and diea completely in the next two, as a usual thing, but none the less valuable for that. It is not wise, then, to go to expense in fitting up a child for the taste of the moment. It is rather speculative spending that buys a boy of 9 4 net, a cyanide jar, mounting casts, glass- topped cases, tin boxes, pins, pastes and powders, magnifylng glass and microscope and reference books, be- cause he has suddenly displayed a taste for chasing. butterflies. Equip him with almost nothing. The joy and the value of the whole exper{ ence lles in what he can get out of himself and his neighborhood to fur- hter his job. The hobby will last longer, invade new fields and explore them further if the child has to do the ploneering work himself. If he feels the need of a bit of equipment he will find some way of earning it and sup- for camouflaging superfluous weight. With every turn of fashion the anxious stout woman usually asks her- self how things stand for her and others llke her. There have been few changes this Autumn—no really rafii- cal changes—but skirts are usfally a little wider and there is greater op- portunity for flares.. And this is good news for the fat woman. To be sure, there are many high collars to be found among the new clothes, but low collars are by no means passee. Scarfs are still domi- nant, and scarfs help the woman of weight, because they may produce the effect of straight, long lines. One of the neck lines most spoken of now is the deep V—the ne French V, as some people call it. And this is especially becoming to the stout woman, 8o much so that even when the bateau neck line was at the helght of fashiom designers who specialized in the frocks of over- welght women still made use of the V neck as often as possible. The sketch shows a new tailored suit of brown kasha with fur collar. In general, straight, long lines are maintained, but godet flares are intro- duced at the sides, both in back and front, and these are of speclal advan- tage to the woman who is inclined to overwelght above the waist line. (Copsright. 1925.) My Neighbor Says: Crumpled artificlal _flowers may be made to look quite fresh again by holding them over the steam of a kettle for a few min- utes. Then pull them out into shape and shake them until they are quite dry. This treatment works wonders with velvet flow- ers. Pails used for scrubbing should be washed and wiped per- tectly clean and dry. The scrub brush and floor cloths should also be dried before returning them to their places. Wet brushes and cloths left in pails attract cockroaches, There is nothing more satis- factory for dusting than a piece of chamols leather that has been dampened. It gives the furni- ture a fresh, new look. Adding hot milk instead of cold to mashed potatoes makes them lighter. Mash well, add salt, butter and hot milk last. Beat for a minute with a spoon. An excellent coat hanger can be made from a portion of a wooden barrel hoop, cut to the proper length and bound well with white muslin, with a small loops of material fixed in the center by which to hang up the coat. plying it. He will be forced to call upon his ingenuity to make it or “work it out.” He will ind new uses for old material. In his effort to fc low his interest lies its value. Don't deprive him of that by buying every- thing he thinks he wants. But be hospitable to the hobbies. Make a place in the home for them, A corner in the attic, a space in the garage, or.the nook under the porch, or the closet under the stairs. Set aside some place where the child feels free to Store his loot. Then let it alone. If the place needs cleaning call in the collector and aid him to do the job, but do not go in and throw out his belongings. That is a violation of a child’s rights that lays the foun- dation for fauch trouble later. Be a gord audience. Look at every specime:. with interest. If you do not know anything about it ask questions. Your ignorance is your child's oppor- tunity. If he has to tell you about it he will learn more and make his knowledge more accurate. That is what you hope the hobby will do for him. You are one of the educational accessories. If you do know about it, teach him what he needs to know and do it tact- fully. Wait until he needs the knowl- edge before you thrust it upon him. Don’t make the mistake of killing his hobby by lecturing it to death. Just make it welcome and do all you can to foster it while it lasts, always Yeing prepared for the next one. By and by he gets one that lasts.

The river was too deep for Jason to wade and too boisterous for him te swim. There was no bridge, and us for a boat, sven if there had been ormm, the Xating rocks would have torn it to pleces in an instant, As Jason hesitated a-cracked, old voica close to - his. side spoke up, } “See the poor lad! He must be a weak creature indeed if he cancot cross a little stream like this.” Jason looked eround, very much surprised, for he did not know that any one was near. By his side stood 2n old woman with a ragged mantle over her head. “Whither are you going, Jason?” she asked. Color Jason's suit of armor tan, {rimmed with bright orange like bur- hished brass.

Dear Girls: Hamburg has turned out to be fairly dull—with only one bright spot to remember it by—and that was certainly bright. Some one in our host's house had a birthday, very ‘conveniently, and a party was arranged to celebrate the occasion. About eight of us, there- fore, started out one evening, bound for a show first and a dance after- ward. ‘We hadn't the slightest idea what ‘we were going to see, and we had deep fears that a repetition of our miserable evening in Vienna—when ‘we sat and listened to a play of which be used to|. ittle Benny’ Last nite I dreemed I was skating down the middle of the street on ice skates and making all the other fel- lows Jelllss on account of them not knowing how to skate on ice skates without ice, and all of a sudden some man got in frunt of me holding his arms out to stop me and saying, Halt in_the name of the bee. Belng a man with a big red nose with a bee setting on the end of it, me thinking, G, it must think its a flower. And I quick ducked and skated rite between the mans legs and he yelled after me, Now jest for that Im going to tern on tho wind. And he took a big key out of his pockit and stuck it in the air and terned it, and the wind started to blow 1iRe anything and the ferst thing it blew off was my cap and the next thing was my coat and the next thing was my pants, me thinking, G, I bet- ter_hurry up skate home.

Wich he started to, and I yelled like enything, and jest then I woke up and the wind was blowing on me from the window cold as enything and pop was picking the covers off the floor and putting them back on me saying, Wats the ideer of all the hollering and wats the ideer of kicking your covers off on_a nite like this? Me still being ony part awake and saying, It must of bin the man with the bee on his nose, and pop saying, Yes, 1 slppose 8o, unless it was the woman with the giraffe behind her ear. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Peanut Macaroons. One mother says: A nice cake for the little ones' parties is the peanut macaroon. Use one cup of fresh roasted peanuts, put- ting them through the meat chopper with the finest knife. Beat the whites of two eggs stiff, gradually add one cup of sugar, beating constantly; add the nut meats mixed with one table- spoon of flour. Drop from teaspoon on baking tins, two inches apart, place one-half peanut on each maca roon and bake in a slow oven. (Copyright. 1025.) “Puzzlicks” Puzzle-Limericks mmmmm!

For when we drew up to the door of the theater e saw brilliantly dis- played the startling information that an American jazz band would render a real’American revue for our benefit. Can-you imagine the excitement of seeing a New York revue with all the blessed saxophones and ‘the latest weeks you'd been pining for a real music and dance steps—when for show? * We mnearly went mad with excite- ment in the two hours that followed —and so, I may say, did the German audlence. They liked it almost as well as we did. One of the best orchestras in New York was fulctioning, and as it wail- ed out the very latest rags—which ordinarily wouldn't get to Germany for flve years—we were so moved that if we'd been carrying American flags we’'d have stood up and waved them. Some of the scenes were laid in New York City, in the vicinity of Forty-second street and Broadway, with glimpses of the good old White ‘Way showing in the background, and 1 can tell you Mimi developed quite a lump of homesickness then and there. After the marvelous show every- thing was a flop. We went on to & dull dance club, where some pale pro- fessional dancers cavorted about and’ looked perfectly sickly, after the dancing we'd just seen, That plece of America in Hamburg gave me a better opinion of the place than I'd ever had before.

Now science has embodied salt in pleasant dentifrice form —in just the proper solution to heal and harden soft, tender, bleeding gums. It is surprising how quickly this new den- tifrice, called Bleachodent Tooth Paste, acts. Gums become firmer, bleeding stops. Their healthy color returns. Salt is also a wonderful tooth whitener. - For it dissolves away stain-causing mucin which clings to the teeth, quickly making dull teeth flashing white.
