The printed silk dress shown in the | sketch is one of the season’s newest, | but it suggests to us a way that any | dress with pleated skirt might acquire needed length. Here the print shows green and hrown figures on a beige background, with a brown band about the hem of the skirt. A navy blue | silk with colorful figures should be lengthened with navy blue silk, or bet- ter still. with ribbon” about four inches | in width, which may be simply stitched to the edge of the skirt and should then be sent to the pleater's to have | the pleats reset. From a little extra ribbon you may | make flowers for the sleeves and the front of the bodice. (Copyright, 1930.) LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. | ! Ma was sewing on her sewing ma- chine and her box of chocklit mush- mellows was on the edge of her dress- |ing table in back of her so she would- | ent see them too plane and eat too | many, on account of chocklit mush- mellows being fattening, insted of thin- | nening, and I sed, Can I have one, ma? | Yes, and dont forget that one meens |one and no more, ma sed, and I sed, | Well G, Im glad it dont meen any less, | anyways. And I took one and started to eat it with small slow bites, thinking, G, if | she upset the box when she reeched | back for one and the mushmellows | went all over the floor, maybe she mite give me 2 more for picking them up | for her. | And I wawked pass the box and gave it a small axsidental push a littel fer- ther tords the edge, and I wawked around the room and back again about 3 times, axsidently pushing the box each time I went passed.it, and at last it was so far over the edge it was & wonder it dident fall of its own free will, and ma reetched back for another mushmellow and hit the box with her nuckles and it went down on the floor d the mushmellows went every wich way, ma saying, Aw shaw, now how did that happen, I could of sworn that box ‘was nowhere neer the edge. It just goes to prove how our senses deceeve us, she sed. Ei Il pick them up for you ma, can I have 2 for mysélf if I do? I sed, and ma sed, Dont you dare put those derty hands on my chocklits. Their not so derty, I meen Il wash them ferst, ma, I sed, and she sed, Go out of the room before you tred on any. Wich I did, going out in the hall, and’ what was way over by the stairs but a chocklit mushmellow, me say- ing, Hay ma, shall I hunt out heer? |and she sed. Dont be silly, it would of been impossible for any to go that far. Me thinking, Well G, if its impos- sible then this one must of came from somewheres elts and maybe nobody wont claim it before I eat it. Wich nobody dident, one reason be- lnli because I ate it on the way down- stairs. DAILY DIET RECIPE FILLET, GREEK STYLE.

NANCY PAGE Good Telephone Ways As Sign of Manners, BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The members of the Good Taste {Club were all dressed up in their best | clothes. They had been invited to |Nancy's home for an evening party. they thought was quite the most won- jderful man living. would give an illus- trated talk on famous gardens. After the talk there were to be dancing and refreshments. ‘They did not know that Nancy was planning a cooling drink of her own concoction. It was made by combining lemon ice and ginger ale in a punch bowl and letting the two stand until the ice had melted to a snowlike or frappe condition. Then it was to be served with individual jelly rolls. One of the girls was ail dressed up for the affair with her new short-length velveteen evening wrap, her soft chiffon dress and her long gloves of pastel shade worn wrinkled at the wrist. While the lecture was going on one of the girls was called to the telephone. Nancy heard one end of the conversa- tion. Later, while they were having re- freshments, the guest told the club about the call: “I was so mortified. When I went to the telephone, a voice said sweetly, ‘You can't guess who this is, can you?' I guessed one name and was wrong. Then the voice said, ‘Oh, ho; so that's who you expect to have d vy r \\‘ ’ Il 1A call, is it?’ I tried to get out of it, and then this person identified himself and went on and on talking and saying nothing.” Nancy and the girls agreed that any versation in that way should be an- swered courteously, “No; and I'm not interested in guessing.” If the person still persisted, the group agreed that the person called should hang up the receiver. And they also were unified in their belief that telephone conversa- tions should be brief, not chatty, long- drawn-out affairs that had no excuse for being. (Copyrisht. 1930.)

If you must take off weight, why not try this type of diet for a few weeks and see the results? First day, two glasses of hot water on rising, breakfast of one cup of hot coffee with hot milk in it and no sugar, and a glass of orange juice. Midmorning and Tunch time, a small biscuit and a glass of buttermilk, Mid-afternoon, one or two cups of hot weak tea with lemon | in. Dinner time, a large cup of hot beef tea and a biscuit, and (unless you | sleep badly) a cup of coffee with hot milk. A glass of buttermilk at bedtime. And in between, as much water to drink as ycu wish, ‘This is an almost all-liquid diet, of very small caloric value. But there are not very long intervals between “meals” (might as well call them that!), so you will never feel hunger to any really great extent.. If you do, drink more water, which is good for you. And by mid- afternoon and dinner time, when you feel most the need of stimulation, you have tea, beef tea and coffee, ali hot and all stimulating. ‘This is an excellent way to rest the digestion, clear the system of waste matter, and to give the liver a chance. Buttermilk is wonderful for the liver, you know. I give this as a first day's dite. As a matter of fact, if you keep | it up for two or three days it is even better for you. Your skin will clear of spots and your figure will measure a little less than before. You ‘could live on a day or two days on this diet once a week, or once a | month, to avoid getting too stout, or you could use this as an introduction to a complete reduction diet, would give you more in the way of nourishment and still reduce you.

CO., Phi o JUNE 11, FEATURES, - ARY this test of Bond Bread’s freshness BSERVE the housewives who regularly pure chase Bond Bread from their grocer. You will not see them pinching or squeezing the loaf to see if it is fresh. They have discovered that the proper test of bread's freshness is the taste of it. Bond Bread is uniformly substantial because of its firm, close-knit texture and thorough baking. This kind of texture was recommended to Bond Bakers by the home-bakers who helped to perfect Bond Bread. They said that bread baked that way would retain its moisture and flavor longer. You can prove for yourself that Bond Bread does. From first slice to last, this loaf has the rich, appetizing flavor of the best home-baked.
