Separate skirts and jacket suits were the stock in trade of every woman's wardrobe back in the WORLD ses and Skirts MARSHALL. first years of the century, only then we spoke of shirtwaists to wear with sepa- rate skirts; and now, of course, we speak of blouses and jumpers. The old- time shirtwaist is a tuck-in blouse, and the problem of keeping it tucked in is considerably easier than it used to be when we laced ourselves into a 20-inch skirt band. Not only are separate skirts and ‘blouses worn for sports and street wear but this season they are also considered appropriate for afternoon and informal evening wear as well. For the woman who wants a smart, attractive costume for bridge, tea and rather formal lunch- eons, nothing is better than one of the new jacket suits made of velvet and worn with a light tinted satin blouse. “Are fur cuffs going to be worn on coats this Winter? I have a set of deep cuffs and & collar of beaver fur in good condition, which I want to make use of. I can make the coat myself, but want to take the fur to a furrier to have it freshened and shaped in the new style. Would you advise using the cuffs or only the collar?” By all means use the cuffs and have them made as deep as possible. ‘This week’s circular shows how to make a new nefluee that requires no sewing—only a little help from the pro- fessional hemstitcher.

Old Mose, who sold eggs and chick- ens on the streets of Austin for a living, is as honest an old Negro as ever lived, but he has got the habit of chatting familigrly with his customers, hence he frequently makes mistakes in counting out the eggs they buy. He carries his | wares around in a small cart drawn by a diminutive donkey. He stopped in front of the residence of Mrs. Samuel Burton. The old lady herself came out to the gate to make the purchase. “Have you #ny eggs this morning, Uncle Mose?” she asked. “Yes, indeed, I has. Jest got in 10 dozen from the kentry.” “Are they fresh?” “I'gua’'ntee 'em. I"knows dey am fresh jest’the same as ef I had led 'em myself.” “I'll take nine dozen. You can just count them into this basket.” “All right, mum,” He counts, “One, two, free, foah, five, six, seben, eight, nine, ten. -You kin rely on dem bein’ fresh. How’s your son coming on at de school? He mus’ be mos’ grown.” “Yes, Uncle Mose, he is a clerk in a bank at Galveston.” “Why, how old am de boy?” “He is 18.” “You don't tole me so. Eighteen and getting a salary already—eighteen, counting, “nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-free, twenty-foah, twenty-five, and how's yore gal comin’ on? She mos’ growed up de las’ time I seed her.” “She is married and living in Dallas.” “Wal, I declar. How de time scoots away. An’ yo' says she has childruns? Why, how ole am de gal? She mus’ be jess about—"" “Thirty-three. “Am dat so? firty-foah, firty-five, seben, firty-eight, firty-nine, forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-free.

You reminds me ob her so much. She libbed to mos’ a hun- dred.

A few days afterward Mrs. Burton said to her husband: “I am afraid we will have to *dis- charge Matilda. I am satisfied she steals the milk and eggs. I am positive about the eggs, for I bought them day before yesterday and now about half of them are gone. I stood right there and ‘heard Old Mose count them myself and there were nine dozen.” DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. Food Weights. “Dear Doctor: In a recent discussion my opponent admitted that there is a difference in the weight-producing qual- ities of various foods, but he contended that in any event the weight-producing effect of any one food cannot be greater than the total weight of that food. In othér words, one pound of the richest food cannot produce more than one pound of weight. Is this true? “MISS P.” No, Miss P. Tl explain. Say you eat a pound of lettuce, which has about 75 ealories of focd value. You are tak- ing practically a pound of water. Im- mediately after eating you would weigh the one pound more. But that water will be eliminated and the only gain in fat (if the lettuce was more food than was used up for heat and energy) would be 75-4000 of one pound (about 1-3 ounce), as one pound of fat is equiva- lent to 4,000 calories. But say you eat one pound of sugar (approximately 1840 calories). You will also weigh but the pound extra right after eating. But, again, if it was in excess of your needs, and so was to be stored as fat, it is going to hold . with it several times its weight in water to make that fat: so that you would ‘weigh more than the pound eaten.

September 35, 1863.—One hundred and four prisoners of war and 15 pris- oners of state, sent in from the Army of the Potomac, arrived in Washington abowt noon today. By order of Provost Marshal Todd they were committed to the Old Capitol Prison. Among the prisoners were the follow- ing commissioned officers: Col. R. E. Lee, inspector of the 2d Corps, Army of Northern Virginia; Capt. P. A. Tatum, 2d North Caroll valry; Lieut. J. B, Moore of Mosby's men; Lieut. M. H. Norman of the 28th North Carolina Regiment: H. S. Bradley, assistant sur- geon, Cobb's Legion, and W. B. Shields, assistant_surgeon. prisoners were captured for the most part near Madison Court House, Va., on September 22. A few were taken at Brentaville, and some others at Green Springs. The rank and file rep- resent various regiments, among them being the.5th, 17th, 27th, 47th and 61st Virginia Infantry: the 4th, 11th and 15th Virginia Cavalry; the 14th Ala- bama Infantry, the 1st and 2d South Carolina Cavalry and Mosby’s men. Among the state prisoners is John E. Hudgins, who claims to be a refugee from Richmond, but is believed to be a substitute deserter from the Union Army. He states that he came directly from *Newbern, N. C., with a Confed- erate wagon train to Gordonsville, Va. ‘When captured he was carrying a gold watch, $243 in greenbacks and $43 in Confederate scrip. The military au- thorities think he is either a deserter from the Union Army, a Confederate spy, or one of a party of mechanics and others who captured the United States gunboats at the mouth of the Rappa- hannock River not long ago. If the last conjecture is correct, it may account for his having the gold watch and United States currency, as he may have taken them from Union seamen on the gunboats. Seventeen deserters from the Union Army were sent in this morning from Prederick, Md., by Capt. Smith. They were committed to Forrest Hall Prison by order of Provost Marshal Todd. NANCY PAGE Vegetable Salads Should Have Crispness. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. No matter who the guests might be, no matter whether the meal was lunch- eon, dinner or after the theater supper, Nancy could always be relied upon to serve a vegetable salad. But such a salad as it was! No overcooked watery and bedraggled vegetables on discour- aged French dressing largely diluted with water. Nothing like that for Nancy. She knew her men too well. And her women, too, for that matter. ‘When she fixed a vegetable salad she ordered head lettuce, tomatoes, curly endive. Occasionally she included cu- cumbers, green peppers and radishes. But always there was garlic and French dressin; She took one clove of garlic, peeled it, cut it in halves and rubbed the sides and bottom of the salad bowl with the cut side. Then she took a thin slice of garlic and put it with the vinegar which she measured for the dressing. She used three-quarters cupful olive or salad oil and one-quarter cup vinegar and lemon juice combined. Usually there were two tablespoonsful lemon juice and two tablespoonfuls vinegar. One teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful sugar and one-quarter teaspoonful pa- prika were the other ingredients in the dressing. All the mixture was put to- gether in a mixing hottle or in & bowl and shaken or beaten with a rotary egg beater. When creamy the dressing was put over the well-washed and equally well-drained salad vegetables. = The vegetables were tossed back and forth until every bit of every one was coated with dressing. Nancy always reminded r guests that this process is called tiguing.” But they found the results intriguing. Nancy has other salads.

The Average Man. Bome years ego in terms of the census some one spotted the town which was the exact center of population of these vast United States; there were just as many people living north of this spot as south, and as many east as west. So somehow it was regarded as the average location. And an enterprising reporter went there and found a man with about the average income, and for all I know the average intelligence and bank ac- count, living in an average house with ber of about average children. And he was photographed and I believe ex- hibited as the average citizen. It was all very foolish. But underlying that gesture was a fact of consequence; namely, that most provisions in life must be made for the average man. There must be lots of them, about fifty or sixty millions, if we admit those very little above and very little below; but how many do you know? And would they be pleased if you regarded them as such? Looked at more sensibly the problem resolves itself into this; that there are so many ways in which we differ and we have a place in so many scales that the combination of all those places, & sort of profile of all of them, wouldn't be apt to be the same in many cases; yet near enough alike to make it true that the great majority belong in this democratic average group in all the essential respects that count. Average height and weight and the average weight for the height, and a lot of indices and proportions we can measure, and we can_combine them. And at the Harvard Gymnasium they took such a battery or measurements and made a statue according to them of the typical young American student athlete. And a generation ago Sir Francis Galton devised a composite photograph by which you could have a group, let us say, of chemists or bankers all sit for a fraction of the total ex- posure, and all the common features would be emphasized and the peculiar ones fade away (for rarely would any two or more have the same peculiar- BEAUTY Arms and Elbows. Most of us are ending the Summer with brown arms, which will presently bleach an unbecoming yellow and look perfectly hideous with the white eve- ning dresses that are to be the smartest things this coming Winter. An unfor- tunate result of going all Summer with- out sleeves is that most of us also have dry brown elbows which look very bad- ly with the new frocks. The elbows need only two treatments, a thorough massage with oil at bedtime, and during the day rubbing with van- ishing cream or any quick drying bleaching band lotion, followed by a thick coat of powder. The best ol to rub the elbcws with is olive oil, which should be massaged in thoroughly after the elbows have been given a good scrubbing with hot water. I think the best lotion for the arms is strong cucumber juice. You can make this yourself by slicing a cucum- ber, skin and all, and cooking it slowly with as little water as possible. Strain this through a sieve and then through a plece of cheesecloth and use the lotion just as it is. I'd suggest that you add a little bit of toilet water, about one quarter the amount of your cucum- ber juice, to make a thinner mixture that evaporates more quickly, but it is perfectly good without this. In fact I see no, reason why you should spend a lot of money for fancy bleaches when you can make such a good one yourself. Another excellent bleach for the arms, which has suffered neglect lately merely because it is cheap, is a paste made of laundry starch and cold water. This should be spread over the arms and allowed to dry on. It is scothing and cooling, bleaching, and also makes the skin fine-grained. Its only trouble 1s that it drops off a bit as it dries, therefore you'd best ‘use it when you can Tea Tasting It takes years to make a tea-tasting expert.

All these are useful ways of thinking of what the average means. It's the middie place in the scale where the crowding is thickest; it is the most common type whether of feature or any | other trait. But when you travel abroad, you needn't carry an American flag; everybody will spot you as an American, even an average American, and yet we are as individual as the rest of the nations, perhaps a bit more standardized in dress. And when you wonder how they knew it, you find that there are dozens of features, traits, mannerisms, appearances, and you are near enough to the composite to be identified with your correct group. Sooner or later in this process you reacin the type: and it is truer to say that you are a typical American rather than an average. Of all the varieties of averages the average of intelligence, which now we call the I. Q. for short, is about the most significant among the measurable ones. Common sense is just as impor- tant and so is sympathy and getting along with people and honesty and con- sideration and self-control and a dozen other traits, but they are not so easily measurable. Most _provisions in life have to be adapted to the average intelligence; afd from the difficulty in making even simple matters foolproof, that average isn't very-high—that is, not so high as those of us who have more of it think it should be. Strictly speaking it's about as foolish to say the average man | isn't intelligent enough as to say the man of average height isn't tall enough. He—the composite of millions of he's— determines just what that mean height or intelligence is; and we have to ar- range our books and mirrors and our schools and newspapers and our movies for the average. Yet it isn't quite true that we cannot by taking thought add to our mental stature. The process of doing it, of raising the average, is edu- cation. (Copyright, 1929.)

Yvette: An exercise for reducing your waistline is as follows: Stand erec d with hands on hips, bend forward at the waistline and carry the upper part of the body around in a circular move- ment, going from right, and then from the left side, as reversing the directions will exercise a different set of muscles each time. All reaching movements will help also. N. F. G—The above information is also for you. Added to it is a suggestion of squatting, then rising, d repeating these many times to exercise your thighs.

An unobtrusive-looking man crossed G street at Fourteenth the other day. “That man,” sald our companion, “nar- rowly missed being President of the United States.” ‘This simple statement was not par- ticularly astonishing, for in the Na- tional Capital there are many men in whose hearts are d tments the world will never know. Many were sent here as the choice of their pcople. For & time they rode the crest of popu- larity, until Lady Luck or Dame Fate trumped their political ace and left them flat. Some of them occupy ap- pointive offices in the Government; others are in private business and pro- fessions here. The spell of Washington is the answe; * ok k ‘While a miss may be as good as a mile, there 1s little consolation in the thought sometimes. It is frequently less satisfying to lose by breadth than to receive a sound thrashing. Several men in the Natfon’s his- tory have carried broken hearts to the grave because they failed to achieve the dis- tinction they sought in political or progressive en- deavor. Not a few men have fiterally had the presidency snatched from them when the office seemed to be within their grasp. One of the most brilliant and yet saddest of. American | figures was Aaron Burr, recalled by all school children as the man who shot Alexander Hamilton. To many this seems to be his sole claim to fame, and yet Aaron Burr was the youngest offi- cer in Washington's army, with the | rank of lieutenant colonel. He was one of the leaders of the American bar, law of the man he was later to kill in a guel. et urr barely escaped the presidency. In the electoral college, anfl? the el:cy- tion of 1800, it was discovered that Jefferson received 73 votes, Burr 73, Adams 65, Pinckney 64 and Jay 1. The | tie threw the election into the House of Representatives, and excitemert filled the small Nation. Burr, already a na- tional figure, won even greater prom- inence. The one receiving the highest number of voles, quite naturaily, wou'd be President, and the next highest Vice President. For three months the fate of these aspirants hung in the balance.

Several years ago, a pros- perous young business man motored to his country club forf a round of golf. His first employment had been that of office boy in the organization he was later to control and then own. From soleless shoes he rose to the mastership of a beautiful estate with sunken gar- dens, swimming pool and tennis courts. He was to join a foursome that morning at the club and arrived a few minutes too late. His companions-to-be started to play without him. As he was condemning his luck, & personable man approached him and inquired if he cared to join him in a round. He agreed, and they played 18 holes. Later they had lunch together and before long a friendship was sealed. ‘They had lunch a few days later at the young man’s club in the city. ‘The newly acquired friend had an ingratiating manner and was in the same business as that of his host. As weeks and months passed the two men | met frequently and a solid friendship | evoked thoughts on the part of both that they might combine their talents. Tt was a question of little time when the new friend was offered a position | as a vice president of the corporation | of which the young man was owner | and president. ‘There came a day when the president | was compelled to visit Europe for a| protracted stay. Before he left he placed his friend in command of the business and turned over to him the! r;:;gonsflbuny of carrying on during hic nce. Temptations began to assail the ex- | ecutive while his friend was abroad. He wanted to make money faster, so | he plunged. In fact, he dived so far ' over his head with firm’s resources that he found himself in an amount of trouble. He borrowed money to recoup, but each time he tried to stem the losses he got deeper in debt. ‘When the president returned he found his business demoralized and his con- fidante gone. Lawsuits were begun, and after several years’ . litigation the once prosperous _young chap found himself holding i whi verbial bag, was empty. Out of the wreck- age he contrived to save his home. A once substantial business had been wiped ont com- pletely. The erst- while friend be- came a fugitive from justice and is still at large. ‘The business might be' flourish- ing today had the o young and prosperous fellow arrived a few minutes earlier at the golf course. Had he not met up with the strange player he might today be sitting pretty. Destiny so often hangs on trifles. i S Prune -Brown Betty.
