Accessories That Come in Pairs BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Articles of clothing that come in irs, such as ‘leoves cuffs, stockings, treated alike if they to match. For example, if gets soiled and requires clean- while the other remains unsofled or ON_ EXAMINING THE STOCKINGS SHE FOUND THEY DID NOT MATCH. unspotted, it is not enough to cleanse the one that requires it. Both should receive the identical treatment. This does not mean that some little spot en s glove that can be taken out with any BEAUTY CHATS The New Outlines. It is no new thing to say that our profile has changed radically in the last few months. Dress designers are trying to restore the line of some years ago, that is, dresses that show a mormal ‘waist line, that outline the hips and the bust, that cover the legs to a great ex- tent. Personally I hope and believe that this new outline will become con- siderably modified before it settles down as a dominant mode for the next several years. The new outline is not youthful. At the moment it's extremely fussy. Designers have achieved their effect by setting in bits of material, they Jhave gone to the limit in achieving ‘movement” . with swinging panels, sashes and other loose bits of drapery. Their novelty of an uneven hem line been carried to the limits of sanity and well beyond. The real artist in dressmaking uses some of. these new ideas and never makes an error of taste. But alas there are few artists who are also kers. ‘There is one bit of very sensible ad- vice that I want to remember. Do not follow too closely these new and fancy styles. By all means lengthen your skirts a little. Our skirts have been get- ting too short for either dignity or good lJooks. But do not lengthen them too much. Just above the middle of the calf of the leg is & discreet and becom- distance. By all means raise the waist line of your dresses, but don't bring your belis quite to the natural waist line unless you've an exceptionally good figure. A belt placed a few inches below, or a skirt on a raised piece of belting, is a wonderful disguise for im- perfect lines. Stick to simplicity. It is the one way you can be absolutely sure of good taste, good style and general becoming- ness. Some people can cary elaborate of the many commerclal clmlnr! 1— lutions, locally applied, involves cleah- ing both gloves, since it does not even mean that one glove must be_entirely gone over. It is when one e has to be entirely cleaned that the other should be, also. A stocking sometimes gets spotted by mud splashed over it from some ing vehicle. If, when the mud dries, a residue of color is noticeable, then both stockings must go through the same washing agents, lest the hue of one re- mains the same and the other changes color. One exquisite pair ‘of Prench hoslery was ruined because this was not don . One stocking got slightly spotted and was washed with nothing more deleteri- ous than soap and water, but it changed the tone just enough to spoil the match with the other. If both Dltcfil of ho- siery had been immersed in the same soapy water, this would not have hap- pened. There must have been some slight acid in the liquid that spotted the stocking, and this formed a solu- tion with the soapy water that made a faint_change of tone. Collar and cuff sets come under this necessity of being cleansed in the same solution lest they fail to match abso- lutely. This is especially true, of course, when color is used in the embroidery, applique or lace. Temperature may be responsible for changes in hue, as steam from drying over heat or from ironing causes colors to alter occasionally. So 1t will be seen that apart from the de- sirability of having both articles in a | set of equally pristine cleanliness, the matter of color has to enter into the consideration. (Copyright, 1930.) DAILY DIET RECIPE HONEY CAKE. One cup honey, one-half cup boiling water, one-third cup but- ter, one egg, two and one-half cups whole wheat flour, one tea- spoon baking soda, one-half tea- spoon salt, one teaspoon cinna- mon. Makes one large round cake. Melt butter in the boiling water. Add honey, stir well and cool. Add well-beaten egg. Mix together the flour, cooking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add these dry ingredients to the first mix- ture; beat well. Pour into greased round loaf pan and bake in a moderate oven about 45 min- utes. Or can be baked in layers and put together with fruit fill- ing or an icing. DIET NOTE. Recipe furnishes some protein as well as starch and a little fat. Lime, iron present, but the vitamins have been damaged by the action of the soda. Can be given in moderation to children over 10. Can be eaten by adults of normal digestion who are of average or under weight, BY EDNA KENT FORBES there may be some tsuth in the state- ment. Just as many patent medicines are merely laxatives, therefore quite harm- less and probably good for whoever takes them and merely unnecessarily expensive, so most face lotions that claim to perform miracles are merely mildly antiseptic. Harmless, but a sub- stitute can be homemade at a tenth, and even a hundredth, of the cost. A few years ago the American Medical Asso- ciation found corrosive sublimate in a series of lotions and creams curing moles and freckles. Mercury was found in a lotion to bleach Summer tan. These preparations, of course, were harmful. Most _lotions, fortunately, are quite harmless, though they do not live up to their claims. Government chemists could find no peroxide in a peroxide cream, for instance, which claimed wonderful powers, A food advertised to make healthy flesh and remove wrinkles consisted of five ts vaseline, four parts starch and, for some odd reason, a bit of zinc oxide. A prepara- tion for pimples, acne, itch and every- thing down to sore feet was only fat and cheese, Know what you buy; ask your doctor if in doubt. Leonore T.—The reason why your hair is darker close to your head than elsewhere is because the natural color- ing is always coming out with the new growth of hair. You would have to be constantly bleaching the hair near the scalp to have all of it the even shade you wish. It is doubtful if you could achieve this yourself with anything but a very powerful bleach. Mrs. J. S—It is not necessary to have a special kind of an outfit for making cold cream at home, as you may use china bowls from the kitchen for the oil and wax, also for the Tose water and benzoin, Each may be heated by keeping it placed in a hot water bath clothes and even look well with an elaborate ornamental background. But elaboration these days must be expen- sively and exquisitely done. You must have both leisure and plenty of money. G. C. C.—The pilocarpine tonic often mentioned in the “Chats” will help your scalp trouble and may even cure it, as there is about everything in the formula to cover cases of dandruff and any other scalp disorder in a general way. There is always a limit to any general tonic for the scalp, and. scalp diseases that will not yield to a tonic should be diagnosed and treated as needed individually, which means really a skilled scalp specialist's. services. A bad case of dandruff has already reached the place where the scalp requires the best of care, although a good tonic will de something to help it, especially if it is antiseptic and also healing. - I shall be glad to send you a formula for a good tonic if you forward a self-ad- dressed envelope for mailing. Quacks. Any one who writes a column about improving one's looks or cultivating beauty naturally must advise using all sorts of cold creams and' skin freshen- ers. At the same time, any conscien- tious beauty editor must warn her Teaders against numerous forms of quackery. Otherwise they will simply waste their money, or in many cases do active harm to themselves. It is so easy to fall for the attractively labeled box or bottle.

SUB ROSA BY MIMI When we want to express the ex- ave taken Holland.” That's supposed to be a matter of course, but is t? Look on the map at the little country on the old Zuyder Zee. It wasn't easy to take; it isn't easy to keep. It was & low land taken and kept from the water by the great dikes. The Dutch are on the job, all right. ‘To have is not to hold and vice versa, as the books say. The little land of Queen Wilhemina, with its camels and windmills, would sail out to sea if it were not for the constant efforts of the Hollanders, who teach the sea its place and keep the water out of the national cellar. We're all Hollands. We have to keep everlastingly at what we have if we're going to hold on to it. The brain that does our thinking for us has to keep working or our think tank will be empty. The hand that plays the piano or a game of tennis or the harder game of typing can't keep still and hold on to its skill. The hand looks ever the same, but its skill rubs off. If we are going to keep our friends, we have to keep on taking, orecult vating them. The moment we tak people for granted and leave out our wonted kindness and respect the clock of friendship ceases to strike. It be- gins to run down. The young fellow who has worked himself into the position of a steady and thinks that his girl will stay parked out is a chap who ought to study the geography of Holland. He must keep on taking if he wants to keep what he took at first. The way to Reno is paved by people who didn't understand geography. They thought that they could keep by force of habit what they had taken by force of heart. That's why so many marriages get swamped or undergo in- undation. A girl can be taken by one means or another, depending upon her tastes, but she can't be taken for granted. The Romeo must keep on Romeoing until the end of the chapter.

H—Use the fine cream on the formula sheet for massaging the lines that are just appearing between the eyes and under the chin. To keep the skin from becoming flabby and spoiling the chin line, always tone all the skin of face and throat after bath- ing or a massage by dashing cold water over it or by rubbing it to a glow with a small plece of ice. Firm skin will not be apt to line, so massage and this toning will do much toward effecting it. Cocoa Marshmallow Pie.

Adoree, with a face of fascinating lure and a volatile and valuable temperament, likes to do she wishes.

She always enjoyed en- tertaining and, while she could no longer do things on the grand scale, nevertheless she enjoyed seeing the machinery set in motion. Her mother's butler supervised the table. There were four low formal oouquets of flowers down the center of the table. These low howls had medium comports between them. The gorgeous silver candelabra held heavy white candles. There were no rib- bons, no maline, no asparagus fern. The place cards were written on small ivory white plain cards and were held in small silver pl ‘Thé napkin had been folded square, then diagonally, and then two sides were loosely folded under.

WERE FRIENDS ONCE MORE | FEATUR Round Shoulders With so many persons engaged in | sedentary occupations, the problem of {round shoulders is becoming a more serious one. Letter after letter comes | from readers who complain that their shoulders re gradually becoming stooped.. Many quite rightfully blame this on the fact that their work com- pels them to sit stooped over a desk or typewriter all day. Aside from the fact that they are a serious beauty blemish, round shoulders have & bad effect on one’s health, also, and for this rea- son alone it is essential that any one who has a tendency to acquire tural defect should do al pow to ward 1t off, or to correct it if it already present. ‘There are cases serious that the advice of a physician be sought. In severe cases it is some- times advisable to wear a brace during the corrective process. But for the most part it is quite possible to avoid round shoulders or to correct them by systematically taking exercises. y business girls compiain that they lack time for exercising, but if they fully realized the benefits to be derived from dally exercise I feel quite sure that they would be willing to sacrifice something else (perhaps the few extra winks of sleep), for even a short daily period of from 5 to 15 minutes will do wonders. In the first place, however, one should try to maintain correct posture whether sitting or standing. It will take conscious effort, but it is quite pos~ sible to sit with shoulders well back even in occupations which demand hours at a desk or typewriter. It may seem awk- ward at first, but there are those who have made it a habit and it surely pays good dividends in both health and ap- pearance. Here are some exercises which are especially good for straightening round shoulders: (1) Lie face downward on the floor, hands clasped behind your er is ES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS, gether.

Lower slowly and repeat. ‘Those who can should supplement these home exercises with some gym- nasium work once or twice a week. Here they will be given corrective ex- ercises which will do much toward straightening the ugly round shoulders which ruin the appearance of any fig- ure. Swimming, too, Is one of the very best exercises for this purpose, and those who have access to a pool should not neglect this form of exercise, If this is impossible, however, the next best thing is to practice swimming strokes at home. Most of the move- ments can be executed while lying face downward on a bed or by lying over 8 bench with the body parallel '&h the back, legs stretched out and heels to- Mrs. W.—The only thing for fat in | arms, ‘legs, hips, etc., besides general reduction, is special exercise applied to those parts, and they must be persis- tently kept up, sometimes for months, before any effects are noticed. For the arms, twisting them in and out and tensing them the same time, dum- bell and Indian club exercises, etc., should bring results. I find that when I haye my annual Summer vacation excess’ to remove I can do it most easily by having my chief meal in the middle of the day, taking fruits or skim milk and a few crackers—not more than 200 to 300 C. worth—for my evening meal. It means refusing practically all dinner engage- ments for a period. (I usually accept one evening dinner a week. How I look forward to it!) Some one has coined the couplet “If you want to be slimmer, make your breakfast your dinner.” I would change that to “If you want to be slimmer, | make your luncheon your dinner.” However, it really doesn't matter when you get your calories during the day so long as you stay on a reducing number, and many te that they have a very light breakfast, light lunch |and moderate sized dinner. It is highly imperative in many dis- orders, and especially in those of the | heart and kidneys, not to give the heart | any excess work to do, and to have the blood in a normal condition. The heart, of course, has much work when there is excess weight, and the blood certainly is not normal when it is super- saturated with food products from overeating; therefore, a reduction to gom-l weight is always greptly bene- cial. No Food Hard to Digest. - I cordially concur with Dr. Cannon, Dr. Alvarez and Prof. Paviov in the opinion that emotional impressions of the wrong kind can and do raise hob with one’s digestion.
