WOoMA Evenlng Wrapg N°*S PAGE. Offer Problem BY MARY MARSHALL. It is sometimes possible to solve the problem of an evening wrap by making it at home. To be sure eve- ¥ EOrgeous now- naterials cost quite a bit—but not so much as a wrap made of the samo fine fabrics, and if it is 2 question of going without the eve- | ning wrap or making it yourself, then decidedly made it yourself. For if you do mnot attempt a complicated style of wrap it Is not difficult. A useful type of evening wrap may made from heavy black satin lined with a fine quality of heavy cloth CAPE OF ROSE CHIF v THERED ¢ COLLAR AND SILK FRI AT HEM. TH APE I feathers. These things, however, bring up the price of the coat rather alarmingly, so it is perhaps best to content yourself with the shirred vel- vet or satin collar. The mother with young daughters just starting out on their social areers finds the problem of evening | wraps a rather staggering one now- |adays. Once it seemed enough to | provide them with pretty dance frocks for their evening parties. Often they managed well enough wearing theilr day-time coat by way of a wrap or felt themselves lucky to be allowed to borrow an evening cape from the mother or indulgent aunt. But now every girl who goes to parties at all longs for an evening cape of her own—and sometimes she can satisfy that longing by making it. (Copyright. 1926.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. E. B. writes: “My five and one- halt months old baby weighed eight pounds and over at birth and now weighs 15 pounds and 7 ounces. Is this good weight for her age? “Now this is what worries me. Her head is very wobbly and she falls over if T make any attempt to sit her up. She seems to have no strength and still she is very healthy looking and her appetite is fine. I give her orange juice, cereals, also cod liver oll, besides her regular nursing. “My mother claims I ought to prop her up with pillows in a highchair so she can exercise her neck and make it stronger, for 10 or 15 minutes a day. What do you advise? Do you think she has any sign of rickets? I put her out of doors about four or flve hours each day, and it certainly fsn't because of neglect that she is not strong. She is a very good baby, sel- dom cries end is not picked up. Do you think if I held her in my lap more she would get stronger?” Answer.—It 1s never a good idea to force a baby to sit erect when he hasn’t the natural strength to do it. This is too great a strain on his weak and inadequate muscles, but a certain amount of handling during the day is right and good for the baby and per- haps your baby, because she is so good, is not getting enough of that. Just holding the baby on your lap, playing with her judiciously, support- ing her head with your hand, will help to get her equilibrium. There is nothing at all wrong with the way yvou are feeding her, and she should _WITH CREPE DE CHI or flannel In some soft shade of blue | or old rose.

QUESTIONS PARKES CADMAN tics or athelists all who accept the more modern forms of belief. There is no doubt that the religious views of many young men who went overseas were broadened by their contact with other codes and creeds. The fellowship of falth was seen to be larger than they had supposed it to be. They learned to judge men by their deeds rather than their de Of course, here and there were men with at all.

The statement you repeat in the question is, however, entirely too sweeping. Some men came out of the war with thelr faith shattered; others came out of it with their faith con- firmed. It but intensified in them the life struggle through which all must pass in those processes which either dissi- pate or establish religious belief. They take place in every man, whether he sues to the war or stays at home. The one who did the latter and became a profiteer is far more danger- ous to true religlon than the soldier whose sectarian views received a jolt when he bowed on the battlefield, or in one of the stately cathedrals’ of Europe.

John Henderson marries Helena Ford without telling her that he has tired of her. When they return from their honmeymoon her younger sister, Natalie, marries and is clever enough to realize that something is wrong. Nina Price, a charming widow who made the trip to Havana with John and Helena, comes to town, and John shows very evident {nterest in her. At a dinner party, however, Natalie flirts deliberately with John and proves to Helena that it s not Nina, but any woman, who interests him. She advises Helena to take drastic steps to win dack his love or prepare to lose him. Helena starts weaving her web by making an attempt to match his indifference with hers. Natalie tells Helena some exciting news about herself, and Helena ac- cepts an invitation to hear Sonya Marinoff’s piano recital with a new friend, Mark/Sands. CHAPTER XXV. Sonya’s Recital. Mark and Helena arrived at the hall 10 minutes before the recital was scheduled. Some of the people Helena had met the afternoon of Mark’s tea were in the lobby walting for them and, as the seats were not reserved, they all trooped in together. The small hall was about three- quarters filled. It was an exquisite little place. The walls were covered with large pleces of tapestry and the small stage had only a concert grand plano on it. Helena wondered what it would be like to appear in public, to come out on that stage and bow before an au- dience composed, of course, of a few friends, but for the most part critical strangers. Sonya had said lightly, “Come early, so that you can get seats up front. I want a few friendly faces about me when I sit down to play.” And they did go up front. And it was exciting to wait for Sonya to ap- pear. She loved the whole atmos- phere of it. At last there was a hush as Sonya came out from a side entrance and mounted the two steps to the stage. Then they all burst into wild applause and she bowed several times. She was dressed in red, a lovely flowing chiffon thing, and she wore red brocaded sandals. Her hair was bobbed and was very loose and wild. She had high cheek bones proclaiming her Slavic ancestry and her eyes were curious and subtle. Helena thought she played brilliant- Iy and there was plenty of applause all over the small hall. But Mark dis- agreed with her. “She’'s nervous, of course. She played that thing far better in the studio that afternoon. For all that, she’s above the average. She'll get there. I'm glad I'm not a musician, however; it's the hardest row in the world to hoe.” After the recital they had a party at Sonya’s studio and every one was very gay. Sonya herself was dissatisfled with the way she had played. “Look,” she would say. “This is the way I should have played it.” And she would illustrate with a few bars. “And that terrible octave thing. I slurred it. Of course I was nervous, but that’s no excuse. It makes me furious to think of it.” Helena reached home about 3 o'clock, and, instead of going into her own room, she undressed in the guest room and decided to sleep there, What was the use of disturbing John. She had peeped in to find him sound asleep. She would tell him all about it at breakfast in the morning. But she did not wake up for break- fast. She slept until 11 o’clock and Minnie brought her breakfast to her on a tray. She found herself not thinking so much of the fact that she had not breakfasted with John as she was thinking of the morning paper. She wanted to see what the critic of The Star had to say of Sonya. It would be exciting. The critic gave faint praise, but for all that there was something to be said foré‘!’;e paragraph he wrote. “Miss Marinoff played brilliantly at times, but was faulty in technique. She needs study and application. There are too many young people emerging from obscurity with the idea that they are finished artistes in these days of few geniuses. Miss Marinoff has talent, but not enough to justify her in making a debut.” Helena put down the paper and _ Pruit Moffins. Provide two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a pinch of salt, one cupful of cold cereal, preferably dark, one table- spoonful of melted butter, one cupful of raisins, dates, figs or walnuts and one egg well beaten and mixed with one cupful of milk. Mix the dry in- gredients with the cold cereal until it is smooth, add the milk and egg and beat well. Add the fruit or nuts and lastly add the melted butter. Put in well greased and foured muffin tins and bake in a quick oven. Eggplant With Meat. Use any left-over meat diced. After the eggplant has been sliced, salted and dried cut it in thin pieces, then butter a deep baking dish. Place a layer of eggplant, a layer of meat, well seasoned, and dot generously with butter.

Then pour over all a can of strained tomatoes, cover with bread crumbs and dots of butter and bake slowly until well browned. If sighed. She wondered how Sonya would feel as she read those lines.

In judging character, one must not pass unnoticed any part of the fea- tures or of the body. Take the finger nails, for instance. When they are fine and thin and pink, a normal con- dition of health and a fine degree of mental power are in evidence. Color denotes health, and fineness and delicacy of grain or texture is an index of a sensitive nervous system, which is bound to harmonize with the keenness of the nervous system and brain. Coarse grained, thick nalls indlcate a character more useful than orna- mental. If the color is of a pinkish hue, then you will find a normal de- gree of health; if the nails are blulsh, frregular circulation is evident; if the nails bend over the ends of the fingers we may infer that there is a tendency toward. tuberculosis, dyspepsia or scrofula. If the nails are pale, un- doubtedly the subject is susceptible to consumption or other tissue- destroying diseases. A person with pale nafls should lose no time in consulting a reputable physician, for he soon will need one. et - A T Mutton Flank Rolls. “Trim and wash in hot water four pounds of mutton flank.

They are actually about twice as nutritious as the average beef cut, because of the fat in them. This sort of mutton also makes good meat pies and hashes and attractive croquettes. Mutton stew may be made from the remains of the mutton flank with the liquor. Remove the bones and cut the meat in small pleces. Do not replace<the top fat, as there will be enough without it.

No matter what your age, you can have a slim and supple figure. I know an old lady of 81 whose figure has beautiful slim lines, who has lost very little of her youthful suppleness. I know a man 65 who looks 30 when you see him from behind. I know & grandmother of 59 who can beat her 17-year-old granddaughter playing tennis. Among your acquaint- ances, you probably know a dozen el- derly people who look and act a whole generation younger than they really are. Now some people are naturally slim and supple, and some have to acquire it by painful methods of dlet, for you cannot be supple if your body is rolled up in layers of fat. Not that all slim people have suppleness! Exercise alone will give that to you, if you haven't it naturally. And the best exercise is waist bend- ing, for this keeps down the abdomen, and keeps limber and flexible all the muscles of the back, the hips, the up- per part of the legs, even the back of the shoulders, If you want to find out exactly how much of your body is ex- BY EDNA KENT FORBES. ercised, while you are out of practice. do this waist bending vigorousiy for 10 minutes—you'll feel every muscle that has been brought into play then. 3 You stand with your feet together, hands on your hips and you bend or bow forward, then sideways, then backward, then sideways again, keep- ing the knees stiff and the body from the hips down as rigid as you can. Do this for 10 minutes each day if you can, and get as much outdoor ex- ercise as possible besides this—the more exercise the better.

PLANNING A WEEK’S FOOD There are several unusual dishes for the week. The oyster salad, for example ,is a very appetizing way of serving this popular sea food. When planning to use oysters in the weekly menus remember that only the soft part should be served to children or| to those whose stomachs are in any way troublesome. S Another way in which we have tried to introduce variety is by vari- ations of standard appetizers for din- ner. This habit of occasionally sub- stituting appetizers for the soup or of serving them as an extra course is a good thing for the housewife to study during the coming months when some of the choicer foods are likely to be expensive. Do not make the mistake of serving a canape, for example, that is too large. Caviar canapes have been known to appear with large slices of toast as their foundation. As a mat- ter of fact,.tiny triangles, not more than an inch and one-half, should be the limit in size. A good rule is to remember that these bits of appe- tizers should be of such a size as can be eaten comfortably with the fingers. A knife and fork should not be neces- sary. The usual care has been taken to make the second appearance of a roast attractive. Housewives are so well trained in this idea that they need only an occaslonal reminder. ‘When Yorkshire pudding is served with the fresh hot roast, potatoes are omitted. Some families may prete: not to do this, but it is suggested that on roast beet and Yorkshire pudding days there be a potato salad at lunch eon or a potato soup at dinner. Thae reason for this lies in the fact that potatoes afford one of the very best ways of helping to keep the balance between acid and alkaline foods, and they should appear at at least one meal during the day. Changes are rung on such nhnm. desserts as blanc mange, Ba cream and junket. This type of cream or custard pudding is capable of almost endless variation. The fact that these puddings afford such a de- sirable vehicle for either milk or eggs or fruit makes them especialh valuable from the point of view eof nutrition.
