For your black after- noon suit or coat you should have a chiffon scar{ which may be white with fine lace trimming or may show white or colored figures on & ground. This is ususlly aquare shape and is worn folded into & tria; and tied at one side. If you are making any new dresses of any sort it will be well worth while to get enough of the material to make a matching scarf, which may be square, triangular or long and narrow. Some of the most practical of the new asilk scarfs are made in the form of a tube. For this you will need a pilece of allk about 18 inches wide and a yard and a %ulrler long. Fold it over in the center from end to end and seam up as you would a pillow case. Press it lightly so you have a double scarf about nine inches wide and a yard and a quarter long. The ends may be turned in and stitched, or you may finish them with a band of contrast- ing color. Some of these new silk scarfs are finished with a short fringe of the ma- terial at the ends and sometimes bands of contrasting materfal fring at the edges are applied. A searf of this sort, which you eould copy at small expense, is shown in today's sketch. Rice Loaf.

What Do You Weight It is very difficult to know how much you should weigh. Peters, the dietician, gave a very good rule some years ago. It is as follows: Measure yourself for your exact height when standing barefoot. Multiply the number of inches over 5 feet by 5% and then add 110. For an example- if you are 5 feet 2 inches. plied by 5% 15 11, add this to 110 and yeu should weigh 121 pounds. If you happen to be exactly 5 feet, then your ideal weight is 110. But sup- pose you are an inch under, that is ¢ feet 11 inches. In that case, you multi. ply the number of inches under 5 by 51 and substract them from 110. The girl of 4 feet 11 inches should weigh (5% times 1 being & simple sum) ex- aetly 10415 pounds. Now this, let me add, is your ideal weight. But these days we all fall short of our ideal weights, or try to., Insur- ance tables, it seems to me, were com- piled in a day of huskier men and wom- en, for the number of pounds people should weigh at various ages, accerding to the tables, always astenish me.

Can you tell me what to 0| make the skin smooth? (2) Can you advise some recipe for making a curl- ing lotion, or wave-setting solution, at home? BROWNIE. Answer—Scrub the skin on the legs at bedtime with warm water and a mild soap. Add a pinch of powdered borax to the water. Scrub them rather vigorously and then bathe them for several minutes in warm boric-acid solution which is made by dissalving one heaping_tablespoonful of boric acid | in one quart of bolling water. Allow it to cool. After bathing rinse in cooler water and dry. Use a cream depilatory at regular intervals to remove the un- | wanted halr. - The ingrowing hairs may | be tweesed out one at a time after the | boric acid bath er removed permanently by electrolysis. Dry well. Now mas- sage them with rubbing or massage alcohol. Three times a week apply the following salve to soften the pimples or gooseflesh: Twenty grains powdered | benzoin, 30 grains resorcin, one dram alcohol, four ounces of sunflower oil or oll of sesame. (2) The following recipe makes an excellent wave-setting lotion or curling fluid: One dram quince seed or flaxseed, one ounce cologne water, oil of cloves 12 drops, oil of lavender 12 drops. Soak the seed | in one pint of hot water for several | hours, strain off the seeds and add to the resulting mucilage the cologne | water, with which the perfumes have | been previously mixed. If the solution seems too thick it may be thinned to | | the desired consistency with rosewater | or witch-hazel. Wave-setting lotion | and curling fluids are obtainable ready | prepared from the cosmetic counters if you do not care to make your own. LOIS LEEDS. Bleaching the Skin.

And the perfect roundness, the smooth edge of the pineapple — due to the fact that it’s a DOLE 1 Slice. For DOLE 1 Sliced Pineapple is so beautifully, so evenly cut—so gloriously uniform in color. But you can see for yourself what a festive appsarance it has. How to be certain of getting these lovely golden slices— and no others? Surely you’ve heard that James D. Dole grades Hawaiian Pineapple as nature gives it and clearly marks those grades for you so that you can get just the one best suited to whatever dish you are preparing. He grade-marks it by stamping the name DOLE in the top of the can, and beneath that name the number 1, or 2, or 3. Look for DOLE 1, DOLE 2, or DOLE 3 stamped in the top of the can, next time you buy pineapple. Look for the grade-mark which helps you select the grade best suited to your recipe.
