WOMAN’S PAGE How to Launder the Narrow Frills BY LYDIA L Now that little frilis of material or face are in evidence on neck- wwear, vestees, handkerchiefs and on frooks for little folks, it is important have them daintily laundered.

These irons give an un- dulation to ruffles that cares for the fullness evenly and smoothly. Such drons are a good investment where women have many frills to launder.

Taking Out Folds. If the fullness has been pressed into tiny folds, these should be gently separated. A good way to do this is {o run the goods between the thumb and fore-finger preparatory to the rk of pinching the frills. The two processes are done quickest when worked in conjunction with each other. Crisp, Not Too Stiff, It is not necessary to have the friils starched stiff. Indeed, in these days of soft folds and supple fabrics, even ruffles must not be too firm. There should be a definite crispness that is associated with the finish given goods from the factories, where great care is taken to make them perfectly sized. Various stiffening agents can be em- ployed to advantage. Starching Agents, Gum arabic is excellent, because it has a transparent quality not pos- sessed by starch. The former is better for laces and for organdy frills than is the latter. Cold starch does not coagulate as quickly hoiled starch. 1t must be used very thin and the goods 1roned before the starch dries. The water in which rice has been cooked kax a stiffening quality and can be used instead of starch. save your rice water, and if not us in soups or for other cooking pur- poses, let it help out in laundry work.

Lightning Cake. Melt one-fourth cupful of butter in & meaxuring cup, but do not let it be- come hot. Add two unbeaten eggs to the melted butter, fill the cup with sweet milk and beat the contents of the cup for two minutes with an egg beater. Add one cupful of sugar and beat again. Then add one and one- eighth cupfuls of flour which has been mixed and sifted with two teaspoon- fuls of baking powder, then beat the whole mixture again. The cake made from this recipe may be baked as drop cakes and sprinkled with powdered sugar, or it may be baked in one loaf in a small bread pan or in two layer- oake tins. Grated orange peel or or- ange extract may be used for flavor- ing or nuts may be added. Frost the cake with a fruit-flavored frosting. Cornmmh Cekes Take four tablespoonfuls each of cornstarch, flour, sugar and butter, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one egg and a little milk.

Pastry, cake and ice cream are not the only desserts. There is first and foremost fruit—both fresh and cooked. There are gelatins and ices. Even a little cheese and a hard cracker can be used by the overweights to top oft the meal. The Browns do not have to forego all the pleasures of taste and satis- faction just because they are over- stout and are trying to reach normal welght, For the members of the Jones fam- ilv who are of normal weight, the dessert offering can be more varied. If the dinner has been a simple one, the dessert can be substantial. After a small chop, one potato, spinach and lettuce salad, & fruit pudding or apri- cot tapioca or similar hearty dessert would be all right. After a heavy din- ner, a plain fruit dessert would be better for even those normal in weight. After a vegetable dinner, nuts and raisins or nuts and figs would be an acceptable dessert. For the underweight, dessert can be a means of adding extra energy value to a meal. For instance, Mf. and Mrs. Brown, being too stout and hav- ing to watch the fat-making foods, should take their gelatin or fruit plain.

N a far north countty there lived a small prince by the name of Otto. He had two companions, the one a brown pony, the other Prince Otto called the pony Billy. The name of the jester's son was Carole. Often in playtime littie Carole had a habit of wearing his father's court cap with a bell on it. He looked so funny in it, over for it was large and came down ears, that Otto mcl\uanhd him Silly. Then again rhymed with Billy and it was great sport having the names.of one’s chums so much alike, thought Otto. Bill Silly and Otto were always together.

Other girls are deceived by the One Man. He tells them confidentially of a bright future promises ease and comfort out beautiful pictures of a life of luxurious idlene: These girls take the leap confidently through trust, There's something to both these types of girls. They're not always to be blamed for the trouble which comes aft Their youth and love and hap) afidence trapped them into the wrong kind of mar- riage. But there's little to be said for the foolish dame who writes me that she's jumping into trouble with her eves wide open, her brain working clearly. Of course she doesn’t put it quite that way. She just has a little prob- lem she wants {o discuss with me.

Nor has he any prospects. He talks vaguely of the time when a big op- portunity will come whisking along, but his hopes are as vague as his conversation. He hasn't much ambition, but he knows how to make love beautifully. In fact, the lady who writes me is head over heels in love, and longs to disregard the advice of family and friends. She loves him. She says she 1s old enough to know her own mind. Why shouldn’t she take a chance on marry- ing him? She is certainly old enough to make up her own mind. She should be w enough to have her own opinion and stick to it. But she mustn't think minute that she's taking _any “chance” on marrying him. She's jumping right .into trouble and she knows it—or she ought to.know it. She's marrying a poor man who has no ambition—who has nothing, in fact, but a capacity for making love divinely. She won't find the latter accomplishment of so much value as the years go by. She {sn’t giving herself the slightest chance. With her family to help sup- port, and a shiftless husband to keep toeing the mark, she’s picking out about as dull and unpleasant an existence as could be imagined. She is old enough to decide this for herself. No one has any right to forbid a girl of her age to marry whom she will. But there will be no excuse for the poor thing.

The skill of Agnes Thompson as a milliner was known to an out-of- town hat shop. When an opening oc- curred, Agnes received a letter from the concern offering her the position at a certain price and for a certain time. The letter concluded with a rll'quest that Agnes make prompt re- ply. The terms of the offer suited Agnes and she was not averse to leaving | the city. She resigned her position to take effect at once, but her reply accepting the offer was not sent 1 return mail. It was mailed two days after. Agnes reached her new place of employment shortly thereafter ready to work. To her dismay, she was in- formed that she had not made a prompt reply as requested and the position had been filled by another. Admitting that she had mailed her letter of acceptance two days after she had received the offer, Agnes still believed that she had been prompt_enough in replying and de- manded that the employer engage her. When she was refused, she brought an action in damages for breach of contract. But Agnes was unsuccessful, court stating: “An offer may the Iapsé by the ex- piration of time.

As every one knows, constant curling with hot irons will make the hair dry, brittle and prematurely gray. The nightly use of kids is also bad for the halr on account of the strain put upon each strand in the In some cases when the front hair is curled in this manner every day the hairline on the forehead is pushed back by the gradual loss of hair. Those who are fortunate enough to have a natural wave, however slight, in their hair, and also those who have had successful permanent waves, may dispense with the hot curling iron and use heatless waving methods. Water- waving, when skilifully done, may be made to give as regular a wave as a marcel and it may be handled in a much freer manner. The fairly loose wave that has no sharp edges Is to be preferred. Some of my readers have asked for Qetailed instructions on water-waving, and I am glad to comply today. This sort of wave must be put in while the hair is damp. After the shampoo is & good time to use the comb. But when a wave is desired at other times, BEAUTY CHATS ‘Wavy Hair. A very soft wave would be becom- ing to 8 women out of 10; a real wave to less than 5 out of 10. Yet the per- manent waving business thrives and more women are turned out weekly with curly hair. When I say a very soft wave, I mean a wave so slight it is hardly noticed. I know a woman, rather small and slim and boyish looking, who wears her hair about four or five inches long all over her head, and done so it looks like the slightly touseled head of a curly-head boy. It is ever so carefully waved, that slight- ly touseled effect is achleved by the most expensive of permanent wave specialists and a highly competent lady’s maid. It is wonderfully becom- ing and it looks natural. Now it is possible for you to give your own hair that very slight wave it you'll experiment a bit. You can't do a real marcel yourself, some one must stand above you and use the iron; you simply cannot get your own hands and arms into the proper posi- tion to make the sharp edge of the marcel. But, when an occasion comes that makes a wave necessary—perhaps because you are tired and want to break or soften the draggy lines of your face, you can take a moderately hot Iron, turn under the ends of your short hair, holding the hair loosely in the fron and turn it round and round, which will make the soft turning you want. Also, you can take separate strands and twist them in the iron, turning the ends under after you have combed If you do this very lightly and the iron is barely warm enough to make the curl, the result THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Thursday, February 17.

Friends may be tempted to betray one another while the baleful influ- énces of the day’'s malefic aspects have power.

To molsten the hair by the steaming method, comb and brush your hair perfectly smooth and then wrap your head in a towel wrung out in hot water. The towel I8 wound In turban fashion and allowed to remain until cool. Now the hair is ready for the water waving combs. The first thing to do s to put & part in your hair where you want it to be in the finished coiffure. 1f you do not want any part, just brush your hair straight back. As most coiffures have a part on the alde or in the middle, 1 shall take one of this type to il lustrate our lesson in water-waving. Comb the hair away from the part and obliquely forward over the fore. head. Insert the first water-waving comb at a distance of about two inches from the part with its teeth pointing toward the part. Push it up gently toward the part, thus making a low ridge in the hair. Insert second comb with its teeth pointing away from the part and Interlocked with those of the first comb. Hold this first wave in place while you comb the hair obliquely upward to make a dip on the forehead. Proart & third comb in a similar manner as the first, with a fourth one interlock ing with the third to hold it in place, just as the second comb held the first. Hold the first two combs in place while you comb the hair down and repeat the process, using a fifth and sixth comb facing each other. Make the waves deep and smooth. Repeat the process on the other side of the head and, it desired, in the back also After the combs have been adjusted draw a net cap over the hair and allow it to dry. ‘When the natural wave In the hair is quite definite, finger-waving may be used with good results. The hair is at first dampened and combed back flat against the head, then it Is pushed forward and coaxed into waves with comb and fingers.
