REAL ESTATE. White Co lumes in New Fashions BY MARY MARSHALL. Sophisticated evening gowns are not ! white gowns—at least in popular es mation. They may be jade green— |a street snakeike and shimmering—or black | with w 3 | carry out the white ensemble she has | on leash two spotlessly white Russian | wolfhounds. Then there is an after- noon frock of white lace and white tulle, & gleaming crystal-trimmed eve- ning gown, a white velvet evening gown and finally a Russian peasant costume entirely of white. White costumes are assuming an important_place on the stage. You may recall interesting examples of this in plays you have seen this Au- tumn. Off the stage white evening gowns seem to be assuming greater importance, for many women who would never have thought of wearing an all-white evening gown now possess several. (Copyright. 1826.)

Sometimes it actually happens that the gown that really seems most so- phisticated in an evening gathering of well dressed women is not jade green or flaming rose or metal or hlack—but pure white. And women who ltke 1o be considered sophisti- cated wonder why it never occurred to them to wear white. The actress Yvonne @'Arle recently presented an Interesting experiment in the effec- tiveness of all white. The five and pnly costumes in which she appears throughout her play are all of white. The role she plays s not one of youth- ful innocence—the sort of thing that we used to assoclate with white stage costumes-—but one of decided sophis- tication LUNCHEON.

Eating for Health and Efflclency Some Food .\‘ul:z»slhms for Stout and Thin People. Mow to obtaln and keep correct weight is an fmportant question. The regulation of diet and exercise constl- tutes the answer. Overeating of all foods, particularly sugar and starches; the failure to take the proper amount of exercise, and carelessness in the use of fluids the most prominent causes of Sity. It is also true that some people can be healthy with much less food than others In the same condi- tion of life. %o that it is necessary for *h individual to experiment to & n extent in order to ascertain correct diet to use through the Most stout people are fond of the very food which tends to produce weight. Carbohydrates are the prin- cipal fat-producing foods, and the most fmportant of these are the coreals, potatoes, sugars and all bread foods, drfed beans and some fruits, wich as bananas and dates.

(Copyright. 1926.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mixed Feedings Advisable. Mrs. J. A. L—If the twins are not gaining so well now, especially the one who 1s falling behind his sister, 1 should give a complementary feeding after each nursing. It is difficult to continue to drink such quantities of liquid in order to satisfy them, and it is quite all right to nurse for 10 minutes and then satisfy their appe- tites with part of a bottle feeving. At three months you can use the general formula of half water (boiled, of course) and half whole milk and use about one tablespoon of sugar to every 10 tablespoons of milk. The bables can take, probably, one and one-half ounces of the milk, water and sugar formula after a nursing. Mrs. A. G—Considering the setback the baby has had with pyloric-stenosis operation, I think his condition is good. | I do think that he could take more in quantity per feeding, though how much in strength you are giving him you failed to state. I should feed him 18 ounces of milk per day, just as if he iweighed the amount he should, which would be 12 pounds. So he had best take five ounces at a feeding, in order to get in the required amount of water, Try two teaspoons of tomato juice, strained from canned tomatoes, and perhaps he will relish this better than Phe orange juice. It answers the same purpose. H Fggh for Young Bables. Mrs. A. §. K—Thirty-six ounces of milK s too mich for any baby. One quart dally is sufficient. You are giv- | ing now more milk than the baby needs and entirely forgetting that he should be having both cereal and vegetables as well as orange juice at 8 months of age. Fine whent cereals, well cooked, can | be given at the 10 o'clock and 6 o’clock | feedings, starting with teaspoonful amounts and increasing cautiously until the baby can take one to three tablespoons at a feeding. Give orange or tomato juice one-half to one hour before morning feeding. Put one uncooked egg volk in the 2 o'clock feeding and give a table spoon or 8o of finely sieved carrot or spinach. In this way vou get in all the elements necessary to the child’s diet. \ “Puzzlicks” | Puzsle-Limericks "Tis strange how the newspapers —1— The creature that's called *—2—"; “The new Smiths is awful poor.

I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Answer—The statement that you have endured two years' silent mem- bership in a congregation is also a confession that you are not easily ap- proached. But your personal difficulty by no means excuses the congrega- tion’s plain neglect of its duty. Yet as a rule church officials do all they can to make strangers feel at home and to induce constant comers like yourself to join their communion. Sometimes eccentrics visit churches and have to be discreetly handled. It s that in the larger assem- person like yourself is lost in the crowd. Again, painfully shy people resent the best intentioned advances from others. I know strange worshipers who appear to be indiffer- ent to socfal intercourse. All they ask is to be let alone for reasons known only to themselves. I feel Sure you do not wish to be numbered with these exceptional cases or you would not have written this letter.

Is a man guilty of a sin when he marries a girl not of his religion and then turns to her religion just because he loves her and not because he thinks her religion is better? Answer—The man who for any rea- son whatsoever violates his conscience in matters of religion disobeys the Divine law and injures his own soul. It both of you are Christians, though of different branches of that faith, you as the husband may find | vour reconeiliation with righteousness and preserve your domestic happiness in the common elements of Chris- tlanity. But if you have played the part of a hypocrite in avowing what you did not believe it is your duty to purge yourself of the offense, cost what it may. = e A frog has adopted a family of orphan robins near Llanbriens, Wales.

Periodically we are occupied with consideration of caniddates for public offices, too closély occupled, for the most part, to give thought to the story that lies behind that word “candidate.” A relic of old Roman civilization “candidate” means, in Latin, “clothed in white.” Its significance was the custom, among the Romans, that aspirants to public office, as ‘‘con sul,” ‘“quaester,” “preato wear loose white robes—loose so that they could easily display the scars of battle, and white To indicate fidelity | and humility.
