The advantage of this device i« that it provides a very smooth fit- ting over the shoulder. Bishop sleeves are not new this Spring. but they popular. No one could poss that this type of sleeve was a con- venient or comfortable style. Still, we have this to he thankful for—that these hallooning sleeves are not lined or interlined with canvas, as was the especially are very bly think | signers 1se when this type of sleeve was in shion once before. In reality, of course, the bishop slceve differs very little from the so-called peasant sleeve of several seasons’ popularity—only now we seem to find the ecclesiastical name more interesting. There is a new sleeve named for Lanvin, the French dressmaker, who somehow contrives to have so many new fashions called by her name. We have had two distinct sorts of Lanvin green, Lanvin blue, a Lanvin silhou- ette and a Lanvin skirt. This new Lanvin sleeve is simply a flaring eeve quite narrow at the top, where is set in a small armhole. It flares gradually until the opening at wrist is somewhat move than a foot across—a rather tame form of the old-time angel sleeve. Truly, the de are becoming quite devout since they copy their sleeves from bishops and angels. The kimono sleeve, it would seem. has been revived, especially for coats and wraps. MENU FOR A DAY.

(Copyright, 1926.) BEA’\UTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES. Large Wrists. The woman with large hands and | wrists is not to be pitied, for she has | a dozen ways of covering up her de- fect. The might have been desizned with her in mind. Many of them have big, soft puffs of nmler-| ial, a real little balloon of it, begin- the elbow and ending in the narrowest of bands well down over the wrist. This is not conven- jent enough for an office or a working dress, but for the silks and the chiffons of afternoon frocks it is charmi And it makes the largest hand look small, and covers up the entire wrist. All sleeves show a tendency to be tight above the elbow and loose or even flowing below it he looseness usually_increases towards the hand; gome of the sleeves are made in real medieval fashion, opening out. to nearly a vard width at the ends and therefore falling away from the hand, and the arm when it is raised, in a most graceful fashion It v 1 wear a pair of large, old- ! fashioned bracelets, one on each arm d well down to the hands, you can ver up ugly wrists. The cameo welets of our grandmothers on flat bands, and the wide . ending on a carved cor: of an intricate knot, are decol gtill easy to find and not expenstve, and will make the hands look smaller and disguise the size of the wrists. Fxercising the wrists helps too, not hecause it reduces size, for it dosen't, hut because it makes the wrists flex- jhle and, that is the mext thing to grace. It does improve the shape of the wrists too. And, if you are thin, Tou can make ugly wrists nice looking * by gaining welgbt for a plump arm new sleeves ning just helow makes the wrist seem smaller by comparison. Mrs. Edna M. L.—Blonde hair will always grow darker after adult years, and it is more becoming because of this change in the shade. The lemon rinse is made by adding the juice of half a lemon to about two quarts of water, to be used as the final rinse after the shampoo. Mrs. T. W.—If the scars are just pink spots left from having pimples, they will bleach off in time. You can vs help by taRing the best care possible of vour complexion; a daily full bath will do more than anything else to improve it. Breakfast Chowder. Cut one pound of round steak into strips an inch and a half long and half an inch thick and wide. Melt three tablespoonfuls of fat, add one onion cut in very thin slices and stir and cook until the onlon is softened and yellowed. Add one quart of boil- ing water, let simmer for five min- utes, then add the pieces of steak. Let boil for five minutes, then sim- mer until the meat is tender. Pare four potatoes, cut them in thin slices and let cook in boiling water for five minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, then drain again, then add to the meat with one teaspoonful of salt and one-half a teaspvonful of pepper. Add more water if needed to cover the potatoes. When the potatoes are ten- der add one and a half cupfuls of thin cream or rich milk scalded over hot water, and additional seasoning if necezsa Serve with crackers.

Nail Biting. Chewing at one’s nails is a horrid. nauseating habit, especially to those who don't indulge in it. The bitten down nails of a person of nervous temperament are most upsetting 10 other persons almost s much S0 sometimes s the sight of a wound. Such fingers look like sores. There are several reasons for nail bittin; Any habit which is acquired is ha to break, but there must have been some initfal reason for the begin- ning of it. The nail biter tenest a child whose mother gives his nails little or no ttention. Long nails break and split, especially when the person is an actlve little voungster with hi: paddies” in everything. He bites off the ragged end. This makes a still more ragged surface and he continues to chew it until it is smooth and straight. The result is that the nails grow in again ragged and un even and he starts all over again to chew them straight The nervous person is more likely to continue this practice than one of normal stability. The nervous person may have real physical ail- ment or be undernourished, and t e may be rooted in a poor di his {names which was originally, and same poor diet mizht contribute to th forming of soft nails, the Kind which are easil torn and bitten. The healthy person is likely to have a firm, smooth nail, the unhealthy one a soft, ridgy one. Naturally this latter is easier to “bite” than the other. In addition then, to a correction of the diet, one should use some paste and powder on the nail to help give it a glossy un bitable surface. ' of course, for older children and adults. The in fant or bhaby just heginning to bite at his nails will soon | the habit it the nails are kept trimmed. The nails of infants grow rapidly. and as it is always hard to wield scissors on the hands of an infant, it is better to wait until the child is asleep and then the nafls can be cut competently and with no danger that a sudden move ment on his part will send the scis sors dangerously near his face Iivery so often some one voices an absurd superstition about ing” a baby's nalls. They are supposed to be bitten off. Such nonsense always seems so laughable that one wonders who can take it ously. But just to ease the mind of any one who has ever paid any atten tion to it, she can be assured the only harm that can possibly result to a baby comes entirely from the danger of uncut nails. These are liable to result in great gashes in soft bhaby cheeks, for baby's hands flv a sometimes with little attention to di rection. In fact, he puts his hands in his eves and digs at his face in a feel ingless way which almost paralyzes his mother. Knowing these are typical baby habits, one can protect him best from such wounds by keeping the nails trimmed short and in addition give him no occasion to learn the disgusting habit of nail bitting. Bistory of ifinur“fiamz BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. WARBURTON VARIATION—Warberton. RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A locality. ‘Warburton is one of those family in this case still i&, the name of a place. There is a town of that name in Cheshire, England. Such surnames as th sure, were in_their ceded either by the ‘de” or the Saxon or as contractions of the word “of.” And ‘ou may also be sure that their use first developed in other localities than the one indicated, for it would not “mean anything” for inhabitants of the town of Warburton, for instance, to refer to another inhabitant of that town as “Geoffre though in some other community the use of such a descriptive surname would well serve the purpose of differ- entfating the individual Thus you may safely argue that the original Warburtons lived at one time in that place, and adopted the name after moving away from it. Likewise, since any resident who left the p might easily have adopted the sur- name, it does not follow that all per son8 bearing this name can trace their ancestry back to the same stock.
