WOMAN’S PAGE. Advice on Making Dresses Fit BY MARY MARSHALL. Doubtless if the human form were eonstructed according to & scheme of straight lines and angles would be much easier than it is and getting a perfect fit on coat, suit or dress would be largely a matter of geometry. But as it s, we are such a marvelous complex of curves that are far too complicated to measure accord- Ale 2z -z THIS CHILD'S SLIP IS MADE FROM A SINGLE PIECE OF COTTON OR CREPE DE CHINE mem WITH NARROW LACE. ing to mathematical rules that dress- making can hardly be called an exact science. However, curved and complicated though we are, there are certain gar- ments that may be made entirely in, straight lines and angles. The slip shown in today’s llctch is one of these and the fact that the line around tne neck and under the arms is made of straight lines and right angles makes it nthfl stmple to copy. t will be enough simply to give the mmuremenh of the different lines as needed for a child of 7 or 8. 20 inches 2% inches . 234 inches KJ and kj. 1%, inches ‘The section marked with small let- ters is the front, and the section marked with large letters is the back.

BY FLORENCE LA’ GANKE. Peter wanted to entertain some visit- ing members of a Western city Chamber of Commerce. He knew that he could’ take them to the club, but Summer- time was not the best time to show off the club. There were more guests than he felt could be taken care of at his own home. He talked it over with Nancy and she suggested a beach party. “we could get steaks and roasting pou',oes put coffee in the thermos nd—" But, Peter broke in: “Let's make the coffee at the beach. There is nm.hm{ smells better and tastes better, for that matter, than freshly made coffee cooked over a camp fire.” “All right, and then I'll order some fresh green ap.le turnovers and some cheese. I believe you will all have a good time.” They did, too. Peter took along a bag of charcoal, for broiling. He had a metal grill. which unfolded and stood on its four legs stuck into the ground. The potatoes - ere baked in the ashes of a drift wood fire. With these they had plenty of butter, salt and pepper. Nancy had peeled plenty of small potatoes. These were thoroughly chilled and packed with a little lenuce A few drops of onion juice had been squeezed over the tomatoes. There was not enough to be really noticed, hut Peter said afterwards that the men all said the tomatoes were especially good. There were soft buns which the men lpllt. toasted over the grill and covers for the thia strips of mued present. Can be eaten by normal adults of average or under weight. 'BEAUTY CHATS The Holiday Girl. ‘The girl whose skin behaves itself perfectly when at home will often find that her complexion develops a lot of difficulties on a holiday. -Perhaps the water at the place she visits is different; perhaps high mountain air dries her skin; perhaps salt air does not agree with it or sunburn may become an af- fliction.

There's sure w be a grocery store, and either oatmeal or bicarbonate of soda or orax can be bought. Tie up the oatmeal in small bags, about a tablespoonful to each bag, the bags, made of cheesecloth, torn in squares. Squeeze these into your bath and washing water. Or use a pinch of borax, which is mildly alkaline, or of the soda. Too much of either is dry- ing. Use your judgment about them. For a dry skin, use more cream or, MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Buy & small bottle of their best grade olive oil. If your face goes rather red and blood vessels seem prominent, try add- ing a few drops of spirits of cn-nphur to a basin of cold water and wash the face'with this. Use it lavishly, for the cold water is also good, and pat the skin dry. This almost always improves this ugly condition. Use as little in the way of cosmetics as possible during a holiday, for your skin will benefit by a rest, as well as your mind and your body. Oil your skin before lying around in the sun until it is ready to stand a real sun- burn. A peeling skin is enough to ruin any holiday, and it certainly ruins one'’s good looks. Bertha E—If you continue dieting by the caloric method you will make an impression on your weight with much less discomfort than by taking spas- modic fasts of 24 and 48 hnun dura- tion. When you make a it of g a certain amount of food two or three times a day the stomach becomes so accustomed to it that it demands it. Most people who have eaten too much food of a bulky nature have stretched their stomachs, but a few days of train- ing helps this, as the stomach shrinks to normal size in a short time. The starchy foods are often the bulky ones, so some of these should be lessened to help along this shrinking. After that go along choosing foods as you like, kee ing to the number of calories that tain a normal weight for you.

Smoking and serving accessories are now smartly decorated with the “coach- and-four.” " And do you know that now coaches are being used for decorative pleces in the same manner as the sailing vessel? Instead of a full-rigged ship on a mantel, you will see smartly harnessed horses, liveried coachman and footman and a glittering coach. In keeping with this new idea of decoration, there are match boxes, cigarette boxes and serving trays show- ing the coach and horses in gay colors. For some time we have seen this motif on lamp shades and candle shields, and it is dell'huul to see it worked®further into our accessory scheme.

Milady Beautiful BY LOIS LEEDS. Pimples. My Dear Miss Leeds: ble case of acne, : length and width o. wear sleeveless dresses or a bathing sult, as every one wants to know what it is. I have had '.hi.u trouble for two years. ISTRA( Answer—There are aerhm treatments that may be helpful to you. My advice uthnyuu 80 to a doctor who special- izes in skin troubles. He can give you valuable diet suggestions and prescribe suitable local treatments. In your case it is foolish to experiment with differ- ent acne remedies that you may . see advertised or that friends may recommend, when what you really need is expert medical advice that will take into consideration your general health as well as the local conditions. Some- times pimples are a symptom of an in- ternal condition that needs medical at- tention. Cleanliness is, of course, an essential in the local treatment of acne. Use tincture of green soap and work the rich lather into your skin with a flesh brush. Rinse well and pat on an anti- septic lotion, such as boric acid or peroxide solution. Twice a week give your body a rubdown with common table salt. Take a cold or tepid shower bath in the mornings, followed by a good rubbing with a coarse, dry towel to stimulate the skin. Dust the skin with stearate of zinc. Sun baths are often helpful in cur- ing acne. After bathing the parts with an antiseptic lotion, open the ripe pim- ples, press out the pus, bathe again in the antiseptic and then expose the skin to the direct rays of the sun for five minutes. Do this daily, or every other day, gradually increasing the time of exposure until your sun bllh lasts about 20 minutes. 1S LEEDS. Complexion llll. Dear Miss Leeds: Your articles gz always very helpful. I wonder if could spare a few seconds to my beauty problems. My complexion is my worry just at this time. My weight is only 110 and as I am about 5 feet 4 inches tall I have been doing my best to gain— eating starchy foods and sweets, and s0 on—and 1 am afraid to confess that instead of assisting me to gain they are making their appearance in the form of little whiteheads, blackheads and pimples on my face and back. Not only have I been bothered with those little eruptions, but my skin also has a rough appearance. Now I have tried massaging’ with cold cream before re- tiring, and I am also cageful to use a good soap, but the eruptions still ap- pear. I wonder if they could be due to a tonic the druggist has prescribed. Answer—I am afraid that you have been making the mistake which many do in their eagerness to gain weight. Eating starches and sweets and failing to take a goodly amount of raw vegetables and fruits is pretty sure to show up in complexion ills instead of added pounds. I doubt if the tonic has caused the eruptions; they are more likely to be caused by incorrect diet and poor assimilation. Please watch this department for my article on beauty hints for the slender.
