They must have special bearing on the cuff or sleeve trimming they are | to_accompany | With long sleeves you may wear gloves | designed to be drawn over the cuffs or | to be tucked under.

Fashions of Today BY MARIE SHALMER. Scraps From Sewing. The woman with children may make | excellent use of almost all scraps of material left from making cotton frocks or underwear. It is a good plan not to let these pieces accumulate, but to utilize the pieces as you progress. Lit- tle pieces of colored gingham may be used as facings, pipings or other trim- mings for plain fabrics. - If you are making a brown and white cotton frock plan to make another of plain tan ma. terial on which you may use the brown and white effectively. If you make a white frock plan how you can make the best use of the bits of white left over in trimming some frock of color that needs the plain white finish. You will find that time may be saved by fashioning these leftover bits into trimmings before you have finished cut- You may trim the pleces into straight or bias facings at once, roll them up and put them where they will be convenient when you need them. Collar and cuff sets are almost al- ways useful either in your own ward- robe or that of your children. All sorts of collar and cuff or vestee sets may es, suits or coats with which they are BEAUTY CHATS Glossy Hair. ‘There is a permanent and a tempo- rary way to achieve glossy hair. Of course, you want the permanent way, but there"are times when you have to use any substitute toward a quick dress- ing up of yourself, an emphasizing of | your best points. So Il give you two suggestions. tem) way to glossy hair, of course, is rilliantine. There are lots of these lotions on the market; they are nothing really but oil refined to a high degree. Of course, even the best of them will make the hair greasy after a few days. But, for a time, the mousiest, dullest and drabbest hair will shine and gleam in a most becoming fashion. ~AS for the brilliantine, being , and refined, it cannot hurt the hair or the scalp. But you must be ‘warned to use only a little. A drop or two on the palm of the hand, which is then rubbed over a clean hair brush, is enough. The hair is brushed with this and the oil goes into it and it can be combed or set and will look lovely. The permanent way is brushing, also, and rubbinig fairly rously with the fingers. You have to do it every day, :ngedo it w0 ipora; with thoroughly. You should have brushes, preferably a pair of man's brushes; you should bend over and brush the hair every which way, letting the deep bristles of the brush clean and stimulate the scalp. Then with the fingers work over the scalp, so as to keep it loose and to stimulate the circu- lhl.'.um of blood up into the roots of the ir, ‘TODAY'S DIET. dict Breakise: a5 BiwSSL A grapel et. ast as always—Hal - frult, slice.of toast and coffee, ©TC Luncheon—Half ipefruit, lots of lettuce, one egg, six of cucumber, tea or coffee.

Useful Buttermilk. How I wish every woman knew how useful buttermilk is! In England and in most European countries they feed it to the pigs or throw it away—this delicious, thick and most healthful of drinks. ‘Then they pay large sums for fancy kinds of milk with “Bulgarian” or similar bacilli in, for liver or com- | plexion or colonic complaints. How stupid of them! Buttermilk is not as much used in our country as it used to be. I think it remains too cheap—the fancy kinds of milk with fancy names and higher prices are more impressive. In the most expensive restaurants I can still get a glass of buttermilk for 10 or 15 cents; the other kinds are 30 to 40! But there is nothing like it for clearing a skin which is a bad color or which has broken out because of liver or colonic troubles. Try it! Externally, it is a wonderful bleach.

You will need to correct the trouble in your system, possibly gour digestive system, before you can effect any improvement in your skin. The pores have become enlarged because they have been over- worked in helping to eliminate toxic materials from your blood. Your skin has been overworked to keep you well, and when you stop overtaxing it, and eliminate the cause, the pores be- gin to contract again. The daily bath- ing you mention helps somewhat. The cold water stimulus over the skin is also helpful, so go right along with your methods as you have been doing. T.

I P.—There is no accounting for the dryness of some skins, but when this is so, the only thing to do about it is to keep such skins flexible to pre- vent, lines from forming. It comes back to the health. or conditions of living, such as a very dry and overheated at- mosphere. In such cases stimulating baths help, and daily warm baths are needed also to keep the skin active and cleared. These followed by cold show- ers get the blood circulating, so the skin is nourished and the functioning increased. Creams are essential to keep such skin soft, just as oil is needed for leather that has become dried.

One mother says: When sending things to the hem- stitcher I always include generous lengths _ of white organdie, half of which I have picoted in red and the other half in blue. Then when I get ready to make up some dresses for Louise, I have the trimming on hand. White collar and cuffs, picoted in red or blue, or any color you may wish, does wonders into turning a plain dress into an attractive one. (Copyright, 1930.) Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. There is always a fascingtion to anything which is new for the delight- ful hour of tea or for the informal breakfast, which simply must be gay and cheerful in order to start the day off just right. In the illustration is shown some- thing just a little different. It looks very much like an ordinary table; but the construction is such that by hold- ing the tray with both hands it may be adjusted to a height of from 22 to 29 inches; or, if preferred, the legs may be folded flat against the bottom of the tray. With a tray of such versatile habits almost any tea-hour need is supplied. The tray top is 18 by 26 inches. This is & very good size, for it will hold all ‘the things necessary for the in- formal tea or coffee hour. This table is made of oak and fin- ished in the natural wood or painted black--and decorated with gold leaf, unless - one is particularly anxious to add a bright bit of, color by means of an English hunting scene. Is there anything quite as gay as those red hunting jackets!

Trying to tell a complete story in this space is like trying to rest comfort- ably in a Pullmen berth. Just as we were in the midst of the picture the other day we went to press. I was try- ing to draw a not too frightful picture of the sad state a man or woman gets into along toward middle age if he or she is a bit careless about eating. Let's begin afresh with the picture, so that every reader who needs a good jolt will get it. First, it is conceded that the ordinary dietary in this country contains a large | proportion of concentrated food high in carbohydrate and acid minerals, low in vitamin, residue and alkaline minerals. It is contended by some good physi cians who have studied the subject ex- tensively that the fault of our dietary has something to do with the apparently increasing prevalence of the degener- ative disease in this country—such dis- eases as arteriosclerosis, chronic myo. carditis (heart faflure), chronic arth. ritis, chronic nephritis. Some physi- cians think the vitamin shortage in our dietary is the chief fault; others think that the excessive caloric value is the chief fault; still others think the pre- ponderance of acid minerals over alka- line minerals is an important factor. I dunno what to think, bud whatever may be the main factor, here are the early general premonitory symptoms or signs. Try them on your own metabolism and if they seem to fit or even if you just imagine they do, stick around till we divulge the remedy. ‘When within sight of middle age, one | ¢ way or the other, the poor wretch finds he hes a protruding and rather soft abdomen, a sallow, coarse, thick skin which is usually dry and scaly. His face becomes congested or presents mul- titudes ‘of tiny . venules over cheeks, nose and ears. His subcutaneous tis- sues are firm till—girls shouldn't take this too much to heart—till atrophy ot the skin sets in. The whites of his eyes appear dull bluish gray and often con- gested. His tongue is gray and furred. He complains of heaviness, torpor, vague, achy pains—he usually attributes these vague pains to “poisoning” if he reads the nostrum testimonials. By the time he reaches 50—if he does—the incipient invalid usually has some rheumatiz, at leost more or less definite indications of arthritis. In- variably he quarrels with his digestion, belches gas or feels bloated or uncom- fortable after meals. He is not fond of athletics and seldom comes out for a run in short pants, though his breath comes that way when he tries to run a few yards. The victim always rides wherever he goes, on the theory that his time is too valuable to waste walk- | 7 ing; of course, the truth is that today only the man or woman of some means can afford to walk. I must confess now that we have no paneca for the condition described. ALTH SERVICE BRADY, M. D. Change of Climate. Suppose you would like to spend each Winter in some nice balmy climate, like—here insert name of your favorite Winter resort—why, then it would pay |you to have a non-cancelable sick in- | surance policy, for all you need is a | doctor who will certify that you're badly |run down and simply must go fishing | down there for several weeks in the ‘Wintertime, etc. Pretty soft, if you are fond of wintering in the South and have the right kind of doctor to in- dorse your claim. This changing climate is largely that sort of thing. The patient, not the doctor, proposes the change, if, indeed, a doctor is consulted at all. In cases where the wiseacre yet misguided in- valid sincerely seeks benefit to his health and “tries” such a change with- out the advice of a physician, the re- sult is almost always disappointment and sometimes disaster. Twenty-five years ago a medical teacher in the wards of a hospital asked one of the students: “Why do we ad- vise change of climate in a case of asthma?” cause you can't do anything for him and hate to have him hanging round.” A very good answer for 25 years ago. Today & better answer would be that we ship the patient off somewhere be- cause We are not up on this skin test- ing for allergy and we are too narrow and selfish to refer the patient to a doctor Who is prepared to determine what foreign substance is accountable for asthma. If the doctor finds that out, then the'fnmne may be able to avold contact with the foreign sub- stance and so escape further -attacks; or the patient may be immunized against the substance if it is impossible to avold contact with it. ‘True, some sufferers from chronic respiratory disease, chronic arthritis, ind one thing or . find a reasonable degree of camfort in wintering in a soft climate, where they venture out of doors nearly every day. Those of us who have to do our wintering right here at home need not feel too envious of these flit- ting folk. If one can overcome the cold and dampness phobia, all the bene- fits of open-air life, except perhaps in degree, are ilable here in our dread- ful home climate, ‘'wherever it may be. Of course, there’s a greater quantity of ultraviolet rays in the Southern sun in the Wintertime. But if that's the invalid’s need, it is simple enough to install a window or two of material which admits the ultraviolet rays of sunlight and bask in it naked for a w[',};éle every sunny day in indoor com- Speaking of asthma, ultraviolet light is always elr{ul, whether the doctor is bestirring himself to determine the cause or not.
