It was sim- ple enough, land knows! She had made a meat loaf and had put a casserole of tomatoes in the oven at the same time. Creamed potatoes were the other vege- table.

But if I should suggest going into business he would go up in smoke, and his favorite story is telling how I sold an old-clothes man $50 worth of clothes for 50 cents. “And he is always talking about how well groomed somé woman is and how beautifully manicured her hands always are, but goodness knows what would happen if I spent most of my time and money in the beauty shops. Now what I would like to know is, Why is this thus? Why are our husbands always hold- ing up to us as the objects of their admiration women who have certain q\ll]ill!fi and do certain things, and then, if we try to follow their examples, bat us for it? “For precisely the same reason,” I replied, “that when a man goes to a restaurant occasionally he orders caviar and made dishes, but for daily consump- tion he wants roast beef and potatoes. We all like to nibble on candy now and then, but we would perish of surfeit on a steady diet of chocolate creams, “And that is the way men are about women.

The woman who would be beautiful has slways been more or less concerned about the appearance of her ankles. At the present time, when knees have run to cover, this part of the figure comes in for even more attention. Mere slimness is not absolute assur- ance of beautiful ankles. Those who are inclined to havel large bones will have ankles which are especially angu- lar and eful unless they have a sufficient of flesh. Even those with small bones will find that just the right amount of flesh is necessary to make ankles as pretty as possible. But_there is a great deal of differ- ence between excessive flesh and just the correct amount necessary to make ankles shapely. Unfortunately, there are h::om :ohou mmkl‘:emhw h:ve s ency toward acquiring huge de- m" of fat, even though the rest of leg and body is fairly shapely. Nat- urally, such & deposit of excess fat makes not only the ankle appear bulky and ungainly, but it also detracts from the beauty of the entire figure. ‘These deposits of excess fat may be removed by faithful exercise and by daily massage. Please note that the exercises must be “faithful,” for while the treatments are by no means com- plicated, the results are rather slow in coming and milady must be willing pa- tiently to go through these exercises every day if she desires results. Here are s few exercises which are very ef- fective toward bullding the shapely, trim ankle necessary to an attractive figure: Exercise 1. Stand on your tiptoes and bathing them with & sirong sohition of em a s of salt water is vy helpful. This must be followed regularly, however, to ob- tain results. It may be taken after the exercise period or in the evening, when the feet are thoroughly scrubbed and washed with warm water and sosp. Rinse in cooler water, then into the salt solution. Ba several minutes, then rinse in tepid water and dry thoroughly. Dust with talcum or foot powder. Miss C. H. and Miss E.

Afterward he re- turns to the embassy and reads or writes on spiritual topics until break- fast at 9 o'clock. Diplomatic duties occupy his mind from the moment breakfast is conclud- ed until late afternoon. The evening is taken up with social duties required by his position. One of the most interesting person- alities in the official life of Washington is the French Ambassador. Critical studies of the man and his work have occupled the minds of leading scholars and critics. M. Claudel, a poet, philosopher and statesman, has won distinction in all three flelds. He has written numerous plays—all of the religlous, mystic ng,‘ Washington perhaps knows best “Tidings Brought to Mary,” which was m-enud in Chevy Chase during the Christmas holi .
