WOMA N’S PAGE Scarfs and Accessory Collars BY MARY Any danger of the return of the high leollar has fortunately been averted— indefinitely tponed—and for that most of us are sincerely thankful. That was one of the late Victorian fashions and was neither becoming nor amusing, and as we look back at the fashions of 25 and 30 years ago our wonder is how those choking collars survived s _long as they did. While our dresses and blouses are cut with a comfortable neck, there are sll sorts of scarfs and accessory collars that may be added to cover the neck MARSHALL. when we wish, and many women feel better dressed for the street, and ac- tually look so when some sort of scarf collar or cravat is added to the dress or_suit. There are interestingly cut scarfs of flat fur that any one can afford. You may wear one with your collarless Spring suit or with a ‘street dress, ad- justing it in the way you find most becoming. And newest of all are the little collars made from taiTeta. Today's sketch shows one of the new taffeta bow scarfs. You may buy one ready made or make one at home. The scarf should be about 12 inches wide and long enough to pass once 'round the neck and tie in a bow of the size you find most becoming. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLIE MONROE. Good Pastry. any cook that wished to should not be able to make delicious pastry. There is an art in doing it, of course, but it is an art that anybody can master. To begin with, the really good pastry cook is light-fingered and quick. She must learn to be dextrous and decided in her work. Next of importance are good mater~ ials to work with and good implements. It is a matter of opinion, of course, which materials are best. As for im- plements, a marble slab is always help- ful.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Suspicions. Nearly every one has his suspicions. A few have them so chronically that they make their world of human asso- clates seem like an organized band of suspects. The strange thing about suspicions is that they generally originate in one's own mind and are generally fed and nourished by one’s own attempts to find a way to justify them. In other| words, oversuspicious persons are over- sensitive about themselves. . It might be worth while, for the sake of mental health at least, to point out that other people spend far less time thinking about you than you do think- | ing about yourself. If you can succeed | in being undeceived on this point, you will find that many of your secret! hunches turn out to be mere fictions | of the imagination. ! Suspicions are baneful. Expectations, their opposite, are wholesome. ) But, since people don't think about | you very much, it follows as a mere matter of mathematical probabilities | that you should not expect very much | from them. So watch your expectations | as well as your suspicions Don't forget that thwarted expecta- tions are often enough the starting | point of suspicions.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM ! Cheese. Recently a correspondent asked some- thing about pot cheese and we muffed §t. Now another correspondent kindly informs the omniscient conductor of this column that pot cheese is a name used in the East for what people out ‘West know as cottage cheese. She ex- plains that in the East this cheese comes in little jars or pots. Real cottage cheese, she adds, is not to be had in the East. Oh, I don't know. Maybe it isn’t to- day. It was when I was a boy in Canandaigua, though I can't remember ‘whether it was called cottage cheese then or Dutch cheese. I'll tell the world, or at Jeast that portion of it that follows this column, that good old- fashioned cottage or Dutch cheese is rarely to be had East or West, North or South these days. At least I haven't come across any for years, and I'm al- ways snifing around the cheese em- poriums. Our correspondent goes on to explain that real cottage cheese is really *smearkase,” whatever that may be; in other words dripped sour or clabber milk, w.t.m.b. Maybe that's what the terrible stuff they offer nowadays as “cottage” cheese is suffering from—the reduction craze. ‘They probably take off most of the fat from the milk for one purpose Or an- other, and then, just as they are ready 1o feed what is left to the pigs or ship it to Hollywood to sell to folks on & *teen day diet, some one yells, “Hey, why not make cottage cheese out of it and pay off the mortgage on the farm?” Marketing for cheese is a delightful BRADY, M. D. pastime where foreign or exotic brands or species are concerned, for if you pre- tend you're really thinking of purchas- ing some in case you come ACToss any a polite person could carry into his own home they are as likely as not to give you a faint trace to try. In a large mar many stall keepers dealing in cheese you can spend a profitable morning that way if you're not engaged for the afternoon and the evening. But | when it comes to alleged cottage or Dutch cheese, you have to depend on {the mere looks of the stuff or the superlative character the dealer gives- the product. I've been taken in on good looks time and aguin. The stuff you bring home just stimulates a man’s profanity. Sometimes I wonder if it is I, rather than the cheese, that went stale or flat. If it is so, I'd rather hear no more | about it. Let me go on thinking cot- | tage or Dutch cheese ain't what it used | to be. Here the other morning I rose | with alacrity some three hours ahead | of my customary time to sit down to a | breakfast of that ineffable delicacy, | fried corn meal mush. Boy, oh boy, the memories the name brings back. But | the day was all but ruined for me. I felt so depressed about it that I nearly took a smoke right after breakfast, just as some depraved victims do quite reg- jularly after a painful session at the table. And when you consider the frightfu] concoction that passes as “cof- fee” with so many of these habitual smokers and drinkers, you can't blame them so much for wishing to wipe out | the atrocious taste as soon as possible | after finishing the meal. | (Copyright, 1831) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL 1 A Nice Adjustment. “T've come to see you about Betty “Nothing wrong, I hope?

GUNN, Tried and Untried Paths. “Because my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up."—Jer. xviil.1 ‘When people forget God they always begin to burn incense to their own vanities. They imagine they are suffi- cient unto themselves and need neither God nor His laws for their help and guidance. Moreover, they fancy them- selves to be smarter than any gener- ation that ever came before ther they sneer at “the ancient paths’ turn to walk in paths of making, paths not hitherto “cast up” | or_trodden by the foot of man. | It seems as though these words of | the ancient prophet were meant espe- | cially for our generation. We hear much | these days about & revolt against old | laws, old standards and old customs. It is & day in which many are turning from the old, tried and proven ways and pro- posing all sorts of new ways not yet “cast up.” This is the meaning of the so-called “revolt of modern youth.” But | the revolt extends beyond youth and | includes many who are old enough to | have better sense, but who seem to have been in some way shell-shocked out of their better sense. One of the “ancient paths” partic- ularly singled out as unworthy to be trodden by our advanced generation is | that old-fashioned courtship, and mar- riage sealed until “death part thee and | me.” However, we cannot but feel that there is resident in society a saving sense that will not be easily persuaded | to adopt, as a general custom, any sort | of “experimental” novelties that imperil the sacredness of the home. When we walk “a way not cast up,” we follow voices that we know not and for which three are none to vouch; but | when we walk in the “anclent ways,” we have for our guidance the voice of experience vouched for by countless generations. We should think well of this before we abandon old ways for new ones. When it comes to moral conduct, we can be sure that we are safe as long as we follow the findings of human experience as couched in the established moral code of soclety; but we are treading on dangerous ground when we turn from these find- ings and begin experimenting with new theories. ‘The great moral discoveries have al- ready been made. Causes and effects have been determined, and so accu- rately as to leave no question. If we have any concern for the moral safety of society, or our own, we had better stay off the untried path and stick to the path already “cast up” and that has been well trodden and proven. Cinnamon Nut Balls. Beat two eggs until they are light and foamy. All half a cupful of brown sugar, the same amount of molasses, one-fourth cupful of milk, one teaspoon- ful of cinnamon ground fine and one level teaspoonful of baking soda.

Place half a nut meat in the | center of each ball. Place the balls on a greased pan without crowding them and bake in a moderate oven. /oi. THE M - F#EATURES, MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Improving Silhouette. A One hears & good deal about the changing silhouette in women’s fash- jons. At one time very narrow waists with wide hips and ample bosoms were | Then | the height of feminine beauty. came the fad for flat figures with bo ish lines. The present vogue is for & natural typé of beauty between these two extremes. The silhouette is supple, graceful and very feminine, with nor- mal waistline, close-fitting hips and plenty of fullness below the hips. ‘There are two common postural de- fects that make the present silhouette trying to some girls and women. These defects are really two aspects of a single | one, namely, hollow back. The small of the back curves in too much and the curve is reflected at the front of the | figure in a truding abdomen. The back of the re just below the waist- line also tends to become more prom- inent than it should. To such a figure the molded hipline is not at all flatter- ing. It is possible, of course, to wear corsets that conceal these defects, but for a real cure carrect posture and spe- clal exercises are required. For the girl in her teens it is particularly de- sirable to eorrect the postural defects t;:{:)r: they become too firmly estab- ed. To get an idea as to how correct or | incorrect your habitual posture may be, try the following test: Stand with your heels- four inches away from & wall without a baseboard, with hips, shoul- | ders and back of head touching the all.
