WOMA Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROTHY STOTE. Dear Ann. Betty wunted a little dark dress to wear traveling this Summer, and, oh, Ann, she bought one of those smart coat frocks. Only there wasn't any thing smart about it on Betty, for she 1s 50 short, and with all the broken lnes she looked twice as tiny as she is. The same frock, all in one color without all those breaking-up hori- zontal lines, would have been so much better!

The art of grafting one kind of tree on another is u very ancient one and was known to the Chinese ds of years ago.

Only species of plants closely related to each other can be successfully grafted. however. But beside the grafts seen in gardens, one may sometimes see a natural graft in the forest. Often when two voung trees of the sume or closely related _species grow up together, where they happen to touch, the bark is rubbed away by the swaying of the trees. The living tissues unde the bark are thus brought together, and frequently grow together, so that the parts of the trees above the junction are grafted on to each other.

Blackheads! IN AMERICA, these disfiguring little “skin worms” are a com- mon skin ailment—due to our hurried living, the smoke and grime of cities. Eventually they ruin the finest skins, mak- ing the texture coarse, leaving blemishes and scars. Begin nos: to take care of your skin! Specialists advise scrupulous cleanliness, and for just this purpose Armand offers a new Eau de Cologne Cleansing Cream. Light, pure medicinal oils are combined with fresh, fragrant eau de cologne, mak- ing a light, dainty Cream, re- markably cleansing and re- freshing. It acts quickly and thoroughly, with no oily after effects, as in beavier creams. Used before washing, or even instead of soap and water, it leaves the skin soft, glowing, fresh as a rose!

The underweight mother can train her appetite to enjoy what she should eat. Because she doesn’t want the food is no sign she doesn’t need it. Ringing in other meal times, such as eating midmorning, midafternoon and bedtime snack in addition to threo full meals a day, is one way to coax the stomach to take extra nourish- ment. Another way is to add nourishment to the foods being eaten by intro- dueing & beaten raw egg to cream soups. Beating a raw egg in the 10 a.m. milk drink is also good. Cream instead of top milk on cereals, and even cooking the cereals with milk stead of water, adds food value. ggs can be poached in milk instead of water. Ice cream and rice pudding made with cream, eggs and raisins, and cake made of butter, eggs and milk, are nourishing desserts. A piece of bacon with steak, chops and eggs adds nourishment. Rest whenever possible is essential. Ride instead of walk. Sit instead of stand when peeling potatoes, etc. When shopping, sit down at every counter where a chair is provided. Statisticians who love figures have worked out that it takes 16 per cent more energy to stand than to sit. Save your energy as much as possi- ble. Do not dance, swim or scrub floors to the limit of your strength. Take all exertion in easy doses. Do not o on a housecleaning rampage and wear yourself to a frazzle. Your family will love both you and the house better if you're not too upset. Easy stages in the housework means casy tempers all around. Generally ruffled tempers come from being too tired. Exhaustion means jaded, irrita- ble nerves. One day or more in bed is good for the run-down. That's what doctors do for nervous breakdown patients. Supply rest and building foods. All the busy mothers raise their volces in protest. “With the children and the house I can't take a day- time nap,” they chorus. First of all, the housework should be simplified. Have no knick-knacks to dust. Use the most efficlent kind of household machinery Get the right kinds of knives, washing machine, dust mops, carpet sweepers, pots and pans to do the job easily. Run the house iike the efficiency experts fit out the office: FEATUR My Neighbor Says To clean dark sateens and cretonnes first soak the materfal in cold water to which two tablespoons of salt have been added for e zallon; this will set the colors and draw out the dressing; wring out and wash in a thick soap lather, but do not rub soap on.

About the Best Medicine Summer May Come Yet. It scarcely seems likely now, but if Summer comes it will bring with it the need for extra care of the wrap per. Of course, worn or broken por- tions of the cover may be renewed if necessary, but the new parts seldom fit or look as well s the original did, at least on old bodies, so you hrd better try to save the old wrapper. The human hide hasn't a duco finish, though it 18 waterproof when in perfect condition and s not injured or marred by dust or grime or by wiping off dust and grime or by washing with cool water, provided no strong soap or scouring agents be applied. In Summer not only the exe of sweat but also the secretion sebum, skin oil, is norms ed. Persons afflicted w dry find their wrapper looks and feels better in warm weather. Old skins generally are rather dry and respond Kindly to warm weather or warmer climate. Young skins. on the other hand, are likely to be more troublesome in warm weather or in a warm climate, for a young skin is generally moist and ofly enough, if not a little too moist and a little oo oily As a rule, young make rather free use of soap and| water, which removes not only the dust and grime, but also the excess | of ofl, and especially in the Summer- time. On the other hand, more ma- ture persons should avold soap and water as much as possible, especially s0ap, perhaps using some bland ofl or freshly made cold cream instead of soap and water, particularly for the face, and especially in the Winter- time, when the skin is driest and harshest, The natural abundance of sebum or ofl in the youthful skin fs the reason why voung persons should avold also the use of creams or other ofiy or greasy cosmetica A ‘common complaint in warm weather is * rawness, red- ness and soreness which occurs where opposing skin surfaces make friction. The sweat is prevented from evap- orating promptly, and the skin oil rapidly decomposes when no air reaches the skin surface, with the formation of irritating fatty acids, which help the retained sweat to| macerate the epidermis, which is worn off by friction, leaving practically a and factories. Then take a nap every day while the baby is taking his nap or from 2 to 3 o'clock in the after- noon before the children troop home from &chool. The lunch dishes and the baby's washing will go quicker after mother has restored her energy by a nap. Nothing is so important to family as the mother’s health. cause she loves her family and they are dependent on her for their well- being, she must keep herself in shape. It she is underweight and nervous she must systematically plan to build herself up. If for no other reason than her duty to her family, she must safeguard her health, half teaspoon of ordinary moist sugar rubbed into the hands with a soapy lather will clean them and leave them beautiful and smooth. When frying ham or bacon always place it in the pan be- fore putting the pan on the fire. It cooks and browns quicker and better than if put in a warm pan It is a good plan to dip brooms in very hot soapsuds once a week.

Tracked down to its beginning that is its true and original significance. Of course, usage piays an important purt in the meanings of words, and in this case usage has brought “nice’” arownd to a quite different significance from that of its early days! But this is how it started: “Nice” is derived from “nescius” (ne, not, plus scius, know- ing) meaning ignorant or foolih. The latter has its direct significance in old English, and the sense in which it is used by Chaucer. Gradually the term became specialized in the sense of “foolishly particular about trifles”; soon it was triviality which was em- phasized and the element of foolish ness faded out. Its significance was then “particular about smal % which survives in as “niceties of dis fore long particu and accurate shaded into the good, excellent mendable of our modern “nice (Copyright, 1926 ) pergons should Barley Scones. s Pu two cupfuls of barley meal |in a dish, add one teaspoonful of salt and mix together.

One subject to such scalding should gently cleanse the affected surfaces with warm water and soap twice daily, rinsing all the soap away with clear water, then drying without fric tion.
