I am 64 inches tall and until six months ago I had never weighed more than 108 pounds, usually 103. Following your suggestion, I began drinking milk. I took two quarts a day, besides my ordi- nary meals. I have ed 30 pounds in | weight and I am looking and feeling so well—M. M. H. Answer. I should think a girl of that height would be easier to look at when she has the additional padding. Lots of holy frights could lay on some much needed padding if they'd just take a pint of mik a day, along with some bread, cracker or cake, preferably as a bedtime lunch, in addition to ordinary . Continued Jor a year such a bedtime lunch should . increase the ‘weight 12 to 18 pounds. Rolls for School Teacher. I am an elementary teacher. I feel | the need of exercise othep than that I get in school. I swim, skate, toboggan, ski and dance. I am taking clog and musical comedy dancing lessons twice a ‘week under a competent teacher. But I am too stout. I weigh 155 pounds and am only 62 inches tall. I tried omitting lunch and lost some weight, but I've been told this may impair my health.— A S H Answer. Instead of omitting lunch, I suggest. all-fruit lunch. Also roll yourself a string of somersaults each morning and evening—excellent for teachers, take the crankiness out of the temper. If I had a fair knowledge of your present diet I might advise you. Without such knowledge I can only offer some general advice about reduc- tion, by private letter. A Natural Failing. Again you claim there are no pores in the skin. Does the perspiration come through a poreless skin? Can see the pores with the naked eye, and often they become clogged and leave un- sightly enlargements—H. M. K. Answer. What you see in the skin is not pores, but the orifices of sebaceous (oil) and sweat gland ducts. They are sometimes dila and filled with sebum (skin oil) and debris. it these open- ings are outlets and never in any cir- cumstances do they serve as inlets or pores. Never is anything absorbed through the unbroken skin. That is what I hope to impress on the reader's mind when I assert the skin has no pores. Consult your dictionary exact meaning of the word pore.

String beans with sour dressing are cold they are delicious served with String one quart of beans, cut them in halves crosswise, and slit them once lengthwise. Cook in boiling, salted water until tender, but not too soft. Drain, rinse with cold water to crisp slightly, and chill.

G. Naylor are engaged tonight in erecting the stables, etc., necessary for the horses of the light artillery expected to arrive here tomorrow for the cere- monies of Mr. Lincoln’s inauguration March 4. The men are to be furnished quarters in the City Hall. The stables will be temporary struc- tures. They are being placed on the northwest portion of the City Hall lot and will extend about 200 feet. Before beginning the actual work of erection laborers had to clean away the snow and ice that covered the ground. Mr. Naylor has employed six men on this job, but all Swampoodle seemed de- sirous of going to work on it, turning out a crowd so numerous that Mr. Nay- lor found himself surrounded by men who insisted that they be employed. They created so much confusion that Capt. Goddard was sent for. He could not be found at once. and Justice Donn was called upon and he started Detec- tives Allen and Busher and Officer Westerfield to the scene. ‘When the detectives arrived on the ground they undertook to restore order. Meantime Capt. Goddard got there, and before long an end was made to the confusion, - Mr. Naylor chose the men he wanted and Detective Busher en- rolled their names. The others retired very much disappointed. ‘The howitzer company lately organ- ized in the sixth ward under the title Howitzer Company D, Light Infanty Battalion, held another meeting tonight in the hall of the Anacostia Engine House. There was a full attendance and Capt. Cross was greeted with en- thusiastic cheers. He thanked the men for electing him to command the com- pany and asked for their full co-opera- tion. After listening to a patriotic speech by Orderly Sergt. Lear the company elected the following additional officers: Thomas Stewart, James Beacham and William Wade, corporals; Samuel Mil- ler, ordnance officer; Willlam E. Hutch- inson, secretary; Charles Griffin, as- sistant secretary, and George Cunning- ham, treasurer.

A few women have complained to us that somehow they always seem to dis- sipate their dividends and interest coupons. They have asked us for a way in which they may conserve their returns and reinvest them. ‘This is probably a matter that con-| fronts all woman investors who are not | dependent for income on their invest- ments, or who do not receive a sufficient return on them to be independent. Possibly one of the best things to do with such income is to place it where it will grow into a new investment fund. Building and loan shares offer one opportunity. One may take out shares according to one’s investment income. | By paying monthly for one’s shares*one not only builds up a new investment | fund for future use, but also conserves | her income. | Most shares of this sort pay a return | of 5!5 per cent, so that one's money is profitably employed. One may take out shares for either a 6-year or 11- year period. Insurance is desirable in the case of some women, especially when they have dependents. We have known of cases where a husband’s salary was hardly te to provide insurance protec- tion. In such instances wives have fre- uently provided the means out of in- vestment income. Being the benefici- aries, of course their money was thoughtfully expended. Investment income is profitably spent | in paying off mortgages, if one owns property. On the other hand, it will assist in meeting interest payments. If there are no current charges due, it ‘may be expedient to deposit investment income in a special account. ‘There are women who look upon dividend checks as landfalls to spend forthwith. We would advise them to have their banks act as custodians and collect such income to be credited to MAPLE biended MAPLE gz'ves it DOUBLE their accounts. Somehow an addition to one's balance does not appear as fortuitous as a check in hand. Investment income may be wasted or it may be gainfully employed. We have suggested a few of the ways. Par- ticular needs or plans will suggest fur- ther ones. If you sow your dividends you will reap additional capital; if you waste your dividends your dollars will never grow. ’l;‘hlnk it over in retrospect and pros- pect. Anchovy Toast. ‘Toast six thin slices of bread cut round, butter well, then spread with anchovy paste and put in the oven to keep warm. Put into a saucepan one tablespoonful of butter, with which is mixed a teaspoonful of dry mustard, two tablespoonfuls of tomato safice, one tablespoonful of Worchestershire sauce and one teaspoonful of mushroom sauce. When thoroughly hot and smooth, lay in four hard-boiled eggs sliced, sprinkle them with salt and cayenne, and when hot put the mixture on hot slices of toast and pour the sauce over them all. Garnish with thin slices of lemon and parsley. TN SR Special Fried Potatoes. Cube the required number of cold boiled potatoes, about six or eight; sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add cne cupful or less of canned corn and two tablespoonfuls of milk. Toss lightly together and brown quickly in two or three tablespoonfuls of hot sausage, bacon or ham fat. Just before taking up push the potatoes apart, break in one or two eggs and stir among the tatoes and corn until the eggs are LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

THE GROUNDHOG Now Groundhog day will soon be here, the great occasion of the year, when weather is foretold, when we may know, without a doubt, what climate will be handed out, the balmy or the cold. The groundhog is the only beast that looketh west, that looketh east, with keen prophetic gaze, and tells us what we may expect, and his predic- tlons are correct, in fifty-seven ways. The horse, he is a noble brute, or was ere cars began to toot, he's solid as a rock; but he's a lemon as a seer, he cannot tell, till they appear, what tempests are in stock. The cow indeed has many charms; we see her on a thousand farms, consuming corn and hay, and she provides us with the milk that surely is as fine as silk, and butter too, and whey. But if you ask her, where she goes, “Excuse me, cow, do you suppose the Winter's nearly sped?” she’ll wag her tail a time or two; she doesn’t know as much as you, she cannot look ahead. The rooster has a tenor voice with which to make the world rejoice, you hear his morning call; he has a high and stately stride, his bearing is so full of pride you'd think he knows it all. And yet for all his mien sublime his comb is frozen half the time, he has no weather lore; no prophesies does he express, he can- not make a decent guess what blizzards are in store. The groundhog stands aloof, alone, among all animals now known, he has a crystal ball; he comes out from his humble booth, inspired, on February two-th, and tells what will befall WALT MASON.

New Shades Which Are Becoming BY MARY MARSHALL, The color problem for us all to solve will not be to wear some one or two new—and usually trying—colors as ef- fectively as possible, but to find from among the many new shades offered to us those that are most becoming and most aporopriate for the type of dress in question, For beach wear at the Winter resorts there are vibrant tones of the sort that appear to best advantage under bright sunlight. Also there are very, very | light pestels—tones so light as to be almost off-white. For resort wear gen- erally and for Spring everywhere there are lovely tones of a duller sort—slight- ly grayed tones of blue, rose and green. And gray is decidedly smart. Bols de rose—which is a lovely beige with a rose cast—has been revived, and the magpie combination of black and white has been used in many of the smartest new ensembles, If you buy a suit or ensemble for very early Spring wear in town the best plan is to choose a dark color—black, navy blue or even brown. Lighter tones may be added by way of separate blouse and accessories, Judging from fashions at Palm Beach and other Southern resorts, and from the dresses, hats and wraps now shown | ‘This week's help for the home dress- maker consists of directions for making an artificial flower from tulle or chiffon and fine wire, One large flower of this sort or two or three smaller flowers make a charming decoration for an evening or afternoon dress.
