WOMA Charming Colors From Earlier Days BY MARY ‘Wé have been told that many of the most charming of the new colors for .Winter have been revived from the range of colors that wi popular In early Victorian day: arly Vi torian” doesn’t sound very tempting to the ears of some of the would-be moderns of these Georgian days. There are women who have very lit- tle Yea of the history of the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign—who still shudder at the thought of any- FROCK ARE THE THRE ICE 1S OF M. brave think prudes.

The petunia, mul- berry and wine shades, which we like 20 much at present, were, in fact, Just as popular when Victoria was young. Some of the cleverest color schemes at present are those that combine three different colors or three shades of the same ovlor. Poliret has used three shades of blue, ranging from a dark na in some of his newest things. One frock of his shows a clever combination of four colors— black, cream, powder blue and rose pink. Suzanne Lenglen has a sports frock that combines white for the body of the frock with bandings of rose and tete de negre. An interesting French sports costume shows a combination of apricot and green. Long chapters have been written on the subject of harmonious com- bining of color and as many chap- ters that try to tell women how to choose becoming colors. One such essay attempts to give a chart by which you may be able to tell just what colors and shades may be com- bined well with certain others. The proof of the pudding is in the eat- ing, so far as colors are concerned, and a good eye for color is worth more than all the books ever written on the subject. According to all the rules ever written, wine red may be unbecoming to a woman with just your coloring—yet when you wear it it may prove to be most becoming. (Copyright. 1926.) My Neighbor Says: When choosing a carpet, if economy must be studied, se- lest one with a small pattern and of rather light color. The small pattern cuts to greater advantage, for there {s less waste in matching the design as the breadths are sewn to- gether, and when the wool be- gins to wear the light color will the contrast so painfully against the string foundation as it would if it were many shades darker in tone. Before frying fish, do not put it In water after it is split. It is the water that makes the fat fly while fish is frying. Affer you have washed, starched and dried curtains, gather up one end and fasten between the rollers of the wringing machine, then gather the other ends in your hands and stretch, then fold very straight and mangle well. You will find that they will not re- quire ironing and will last much longer. The skimming of fat from soups, etc., should be haved for frying purposes. To remove finger marks from door knobs and locks use pure soap and old cheesecloth. Orange peel dried and grated makes a very fine vellow pow- der that is deliclous flavoring for cakes and puddings.

She's 23, of average intelligence, comes from a nice family and has a fair supply of the world’'s goods. There's no reason why she shouldn't have a normal, happy time, like most girls of her age. But, somehow, the boys who come to see her, bore her to tears—she sits in _miserable silence while they make folite con- versation. She spends most of her evenings wishing that the nice boys who call on her to take her out would leave her alone forever and ever. There’s nothing the matter with any of these young men. Most of them are about 25 or 26 vears of age—nice enough, with sensible ideas FEATURES, Lemon Bleaches. Some beauty preparations are sea- sonal. Fresh cucumber juice, for in- stance, is hard to get except when the gardens are fruitful. But any number of useful beauty aids can be made from lemons, which are In season always, and never expensive. Don't forget that the juice of half a lemon in the last rinse water when you shampoo vour hair. will make it a shade or two lighter and a little drier if it is inclined to be oily. If you are on the borderland of being a blonde—that is, if vou would like to be the real golden blonde, but tend to have light brown hair—the julce of an entire lemon in the rinse water will do no harm. If vour hair is too drv, rub it before the shampoo with oil, and in any case, oily or dry, use an oil soap like castile.

Very sore, tired feet can be treated with lemon too. Take a thick slice and rub over the soles, and rub and rub with the hands. Then rinse off and dry the feet.

Walking is be'ng made fashionable to some extent by our golfers. But that was not the reason it intrigued Helen Crane, for she had no acquaint- ance with a mashie. That, and taking up her dancing again were among the million things she intended to do in that new life that she had lifted the corners of the veil to peep into. Fatigue was felt by Helen because she didn’t know how to walk—she was throwing her body out of poise. A person’s walk may be as individual as her face. Many times you've heard yourself say “I recognized her by her walk.” That, of course, might be a tribute or just the reverse. Right Walking. “Right walking is beneficlal,” said the rhythm instructor, engaged by 1iss Whyte for her special client. No other exertion is as invigorating and restorative for taut nerves. Be- sides, the harmonious play of muscles infuses a grace and litheness that have a mental effect as well as physi- cal. “The blood is awakened from its sluggish sleep and courses actively through the smallest veins, strength- ening your body, giving health to your nerves and causing you to sleep soundly and restfully. I should ad- vise you to select some interesting stretch and forget that you have a purpose in walking, Mrs. Crane—Ilose yourself in the fun of watching people around you. One should walk three or four miles a day for the sake of both body and nerves.” “I try to walk three miles a day since I've begun this course.” An ap- proving nod to that. Preliminaries. “I think first we'll try a little limb- ering up, Crane. Your Jjoints are probably a little stiff. Now then —raise one foot at a time from the floor and shake it gently from the knee.

Avoid any affectation—there is so much of it these days. The arms may sway with the natural motion of the body, but be careful not to swing them as if they were pendulums. | “Please step on_a crack of the floor, Mrs. Crane.

Please continue to shift the | body. from one foot to the other and | take little two-steps for lightness and balance.” After a prescribed period, the in- structor, crossing to her desk, said: “Come over here and sit down, if you please.

She had been quite solemn during this new phase of her course. “It's rather a good thing to do, to rub the soles with a slice of cut lemon after you've given them a warm bath. Then throw yourself on the bed, face down, and rest your feet, soles up. The warm baths are always refresh- ing.” (Copsright. 1926.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. For the Convalescent Child. One Mother Says: When my little son was recovering from an operation and was able to sit up a little, I made his bed, covering attractive in this way. I used a sheet for the coverlet and in the center at intervals I pasted a bright cover from a story book or new magazine. He grew to expect this surprise after his morning bath and again after his nap in the afternoon. These pictures I stuck just at the corner with gummed labels which are easily removed.

Yet, she's not always adverse to the society of men. She doesn't hate all of the stronger sex. She's per- fectly idiotically happy when she's out with the boys of 19 or 20—she adores their utter nonsense, their eternal gift of making everything ap- pear ridiculous—their madcap tricks and absurd actions. She has the-time of her life when some boy four years younger than herself invites her to go out for an evening. Then she really enjoys herself— and it worrles her awfully. It makes her feel that perhaps she isn't fully developed mentally. If she were a person of normal intelligence for her age, she fees that she'd find the companionship of men her own age and older stimu- lating and interesting. “Am I a dumbbel with some concern. “Is there som thing the matter with my mental| equipment that I'm always so will- ing to go out with kids and always so anxious not to see companions of a suitable age?” | Molly’s not a dumbbell at all. There are a lot of other damsels in the world who find the companionship of vounger boys more fun than that of older men. These girls are, for the most part, those who have been most carefully reared, rather kept In hand by a fond mother or father. Molly, for instance, never has had the giddy, rather silly pleasure of a 117 or 18 vear old love affair. She hasn’t known what it is to &0 on an idiotic party with a lot of care-free, hair-brained vouths. All that sort of thing which is old and stale to the girls of 23, who have been going out since they were 16 or 17, 18 new and delightful to her. Consequently, she revels in that gay, irresponsible sort of good time furnished by younger boys.

She wants all the boisterous fun she missed while she was 17. She didn’t get it then. She wants it now. And there’s no harm in her get- ting it.
