Belt Buckles Favored by Fashion BY M/ Belt buckles have come back into fashion, and word comes from Yrance that some of the dressmak- ©ers have sent our scouts to the old S pS to gather in beauti- ful, old belt buckles which for so many years have been of no practi- cal value. Oddly enough, it is on evening frocks that these buckles are often placed. Sometimes a belt iE 1 ON TH AT THE MOIRE THE BEI SHOWN HELD IN BROW .0 FIGUR| HIPS BY IS A BROV MOIRF HE CIRCLE SHOW > MESH B AND 'O MATCH, TUDDED WITH COLORED AND A PLAIN BLACK 4 HER BELT. aterial of the frock— hed strip of the material about ud a ha'f inches wide—and the sickle is fastened at the front.

Narrow suede, kid or patent leather belts are attached to some of the daytime frocks, and in Paris there has beén considerable demand for odd little belts made of straw. cut kid or wool. A belt of this sort sometimes gives the finishing touch to a jumper frock of kasha or flan- nel. Sometimes they are placed on straightline, one-piece frocks as well. A narrow helt of soft patent leith. er with an edge of flexible gilt metal is worn on a simp'e, kasha frock with a corsage flower of black patent leather with gilt center. American girls have a tendency to place the belt rather high, and it is true, of course, that fashion is grad- ually ng the waist line or at least wing more molding about the waist line. However, when the French dressmakers use belts they usual’y pla them well below the waist line. When they are placed high there is a tendency to bunchi- ness that detracts from the s'ill very desirable slender, str Quite new are the r e belts that are worn with holeros. The ef- fect is Spanish. These belts are placed below the bo'ero, but as they are wide they extend somewhat be- low the normal waist line, producing a straight, slender line from waist nearly to the hips. Needless to say this is a fashion for the very slender. (Covyright. 1026.) My Neighbor Says: Vanilla_is_the only: flavoring that should be cooked in candy.

To test an oven in which cake is to be baked, place a piece of white paper in the oven. If too hot, the paper will blacken or burn up. If it is a delicate brown, the oven is right for pa try; should it turn dark yellow cakes may be baked, and onl light yellow, sponge cake or bis- cuits may be put in at once.

His hands, slender, dark, were press- ing down upon her regenerated ken shoulders. I've been a She you,” he said, robe. Then he bent and kissed her, and the faint agrance of her permeated every fiber of his being. At breakfast Helen was graphic enough. Among other things she said: “When I decided I had a capacity for living—living real, warm life, T go. a terrific thrill. I had gotten into the habit of thinking I was a mess—that Providence had de- signed me for such.” Well,” Bob laughed frankly. “I shan'’t forget, ever, what you've done to me this morning. 1 think we'll have to run over to Italy, so that my nerves can recuperate.’’ They had progressed so frankly from indifference to friendship, even to palship, that Helen felt that all she had asked for had been poured into her lap. And so it was that she sailed into her port on a smooth sea. She won where so many others fail. Things like time and space did not seem to count with Bob that morn- ing, even though weeks of absence must be reckoned with at his office. Nothing, it seemed, could interfere with the fullness of his staisfaction. An important object in the dining room was a clock—long in the Crane family. First one, then the other glanced unbelievingly as though they felt that the thing was cheating.

Looking over the hedge and across the terraced garden whose lower slope was a blaze of roses and carna- tions, one might have seen the two of them on the porch. It would not have struck any one with any pecul iar significance—it was just a pic- ture—a husband and wife separating for the day. But within these two there was an inward glow of pleasure.

When the subcutaneous fat on the face or neck wastes away the skin is left in flabby folds. The cause of the wasting may be rapid loss of weight due to illness or the too enthusiastic following of veducing program. Middle age also brings a natural dimi- nution in the amount of fatty padding | that once produced the round con- tours of youth. In the case of underweights the simplest way to tighten the skin is to bulld up the ti s beneath until the normal weight has been reached. Flabby skins, however, are often on faces of women who do not need to gain weight. Their problem is to smooth out the skin with astringents and tone up to facial muscles so that they will have greater elasticity. A simple facial pack or compress that will be found refreshing and beneficial to such types of skin is composed of a mask of clean absorb- ent cotton, saturated with a mild astringent lotion and laid over the face. Before applying the pack, how- ever, the skin should be cleansed with cold cream. Wipe off the cream. Plain witch hazel may be used, but here is a good recipe that may suit e skins better e grains pow- agacanth, six minims tincture | s alcobol, two drams | six ounves of rose | water.

The same astringent lotion may be used after the nightly cleansing of the face at bedtime, and then it should be patted on gently and allowed to dr Regular facial massage that stimu- lates the muscles and brings the blood to the cheeks should be given to flabby faces. The massage move- ments that are used may include a long, gentle, upward, rotary motion and a very delicate vib r: r slap- ping movement in the same direction. A slight steaming with hot towels, of course, precedes the application of food cream and the massage. After the massage an ice rub or an astrin. gent lotion should be Zwieback Tortes.

At least beat up the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and add to the other ingredients. Reat all to. gether and bake in a shallow pan for 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and garnish with chopped nuts. Butter the pan well.

BY MIML Just a Daby Habit. “Well, for Heaven's sake, I should say not.” Myra was indignantly ve- hement. “Let my mother read my letters?—not while I'm conscious. | That's a baby habit I've outgrown, thank you. I had a final argument with her about it last y both understand perfectly my letters are my own persona and not to be read by mother she were a censor.” & All the girls agreed with Myra's | view and laughed at Phy aged | 16, who had admitted shame-facedly | that she read all her letters aloud to a sympathetic and sensible mother. | Phyllis was persuaded by the ! zeneral razzing that she'd been eight | different kinds of a fool to ull()\v‘ mother such unwarranted liberties with her personal correspondence. She decided that she, too, must outgrow this baby habit. Even if | mother didn’t insist on reading the | letters, she usually asked Phyl to | read them aloud to her. How did | she get that way, Phyl wondered in the light of her friends’ experiences. So she went home and raised the | roof about her privileges as a 16-year- lold woman of the world, and finally she won her point. Perhaps three months later she met Tony Baxter from Princeton. Tony was what is known as a slick customer. He though Phyllis was a cute kid—that was all. As soon as he got back to college he hegan to burn up sheets of paper writing the most fervid nonsense to little Phyllis. Flattered and thrilled and excited, she carefully kept the letters from mother’s watchful eye. She ate up every word of them. She read them to herself and her imagination made more out of them than they contained. She replied fervently, ardently Blinded with romance, she proceeded to make a fool of herself over Tony Baxter, who, being rather a pig, showed several of her letters around, and chuckled over the child’s infatu- ation. for him. In the Christmas holidays he treated his _fluttering schoolgirl cruelly. She was wild with misery and despair when she learned that he was rushing Dorothy Nash, one of her best enemies, and had actually shown that amused young lady some of Phyllis' glowing ~epistles. Phyllis suffered tortures of humili- ation and shame. But her mistake is a natural and a common one. That's where the value of letting a wise mother in on your love letters can be seen. For, even though she does come from a stuffy old generation, the cagey mother has lived long enough to have heard a few love letters in her day, and is very apt to see through an insincere expression of sentiment. She can often set you right after she's heard one or two letters from the big bluc-eyed hero who is making your heart flutter wildl The baby habit of giving mother the low-down on your private mail isn’t so dumb. It often saves the modern maiden from rushing out to make a fool of herself over the first man who grows affectionate on paper. If your mother is kind and sympa- thetic, it won't damage your prestige to let her hear about your correspond- ence. (Copyright. 1926.) THE DIARY OF A NEW FATHER BY ROBERT E. DICKSON.
