If you are going in search of a dress, and will have to be trying on many in the course of the morning or afternoon, such a little matter as slipping the requisite handkerchief into your hand- bag to use at need, will do much to preserve your coiffeur—and incidentally your temper. Sometimes it seems that the way one gets to looking at such a time does more to tire one than the actual cffort of hunting for the right garment. For, to look disheveled, and to be painfully aware of it, is a large factor in contributing to fatigue. So. to help prescrve your presence of mind as well as of hair pins, such a measure is well worth the little extra trouble it requires. Those who wear hair nets will appre- ciate this suggestion, as well as those who do not. It is not the wear of a hair net, but the tear of it that makes it one of the minor expenditures worth watching. To double or triple the wearing qualities of a net is to save some pennies, and perhaps more than that, for one’s pocketbool Hominy Croquettes. Make a white sauce with one table- spoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of flour and one cupful of milk and pour slowly over one beaten egg. Add a tablespoonful of salt.

Dip in beaten egg. then in bread crumbs, place in a buttered pan and bake in a hot oven until nicely browned. BY THORNTON W.

Reduction Menus Continued. If you read the diet article the other day you will see that the food you've eaten for lunch and breakfast has not exceeded 350 calories, To be sure, you've not had much food, but to make up for it your body has been re-absorb- ing the surplus flesh it has been stor- ing away around your walist, down the back of your shoulders, and in other undesirable places. As your light luncheon of clear soup and salad will not “stay by you" very long, I would suggest that you have afternoon tea, consisting of clear hot tea with lemon sweetened with saccharine, which has no caloric value. And if you really must, take a couple of dry soda crack- ers, which would be 50 calories. Thi: diet may sound dull, but you'll prob- ably pe hungry enough so that a dry soda cracker will look and taste like the most delicious food! Now for dinner. Clear soup or broth. This can be varied every day for flavor. It is filling and non-fatten- ing. For meat, "lean beefsteak, lean roast beef, roast chicken or lamb or mutton, & small lamb or mutton chop, or any fish but salmon. You can count 200 calories for this. One slice of bread with one pat of butter on it is about 200 calories more. You cannot have both potatoes and bread at the same meal, but you can have a medium sized potato instead of bread, since a potato is about 100 calorles also. Then you can have a large dish of any green vegetable, asparagus, string beans, cabbage, carrots, corn, celery, tomatoes, greens—and count it about 30 calories. You can have a salad, also, with French dressing or mayonnaise, only remembering that a dessert spoon- ful of oil is 100 calories. You can have a good sized helping of dessert if 1t is stewed fruit or plain pudding, and a very small helping if it is rich. Count your calories and you will see that you are well inside the necessary reduction ration. You could even have a cup of hot skim milk at bedtime if you are hungry. You can also add black cereal coffee, which is not fattening. Georgianna F.—Dark circles around the mouth and eyes show there is poor functioning of some of the organs.

THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Friday, March 16. ‘Tomorrow is a rather menacing day, according to planetary direction, and makes for disappointments as well as delays. The early hours may present obstacles to business men, and especial- Iy to merchants. It is wise not to credit rumors or to accept evil reports of any sort, un- der this sway, which makes for de- ception. Trade conditions are to be unusually good as the Spring advances, the seers prophesy. Much litigation is indicated and civil suits may be more numerous than usual. Under this planetary rule, deception is practiced more generally than in ordinary conditions, astrologers belleve. Promoters with imagination and un- sound optimism will be abroad in the land at this time. It is well not to speculate or even to lay wagers, although the temptation to one’s luck may be strong. Startling events are to mark the Spring and Summer, when the stars in- dicate that what is most unexpected is likely to happen. ‘Women should not expect to make a good impression on men, who will be crlltl’cm while this configuration pre- vails. According to ancient lore, this should be a favorable sway for certain lines of beauty culture, since it reveals femi- nine defects.

The vogue for combinations of matching accessories has an addition in the hat and scarf ensemble which gives the/desirably swagger touch to a plain sports costume. In gay prints, floral or modernistic, they vivify a frock of plain color jersey or silk. The hat is stitched satin and the scarf matches it. Care must be used not to combine other printed ac- cessories with these two, or an unde- sirably exaggerated effect will be the result. i (Copyrigh Tested Popovers.

Needless to say, highest commissions are paid where the job of selling is most difficult. For example, we know of a | security saleswoman who is paid a 10| per cent commission on her sales.
