Swimming a BY CHARLOTTE C. WEST, M.D. 'ANY girl whose physical proportions are faulty, or who may even be de- malformed—bowlegs, knock- knees—can rebuild her body and mold 1t into beautiful, graceful, slender lines | by ematic swimming. She has but to review the life his-| tory of one of the most famous pro- | fessional swimmers, Annette Kellermann, | to realize what can accomplish by | means of this delightful sport. Miss Kellermann was not only a sickly #gpeck of humanity—she actually suf- fered from deformities of the feet and legs. However, she learned to swim, to exercise every part of the frail little body, to mold her form in graceful, curving lines, so that it became difficult to believe that her exquisitely modeled | with them.

Then thread a needle with colored embroidery silk or cotton and start at the right toward the left. Fastening your thread at the lower point of the first space, take a stitch about three-quarters of an inch long. Work two more parallel stitches a little shorter, and .then bring the needle through at the center to make the vertical stitches that bind the bun- dles. Work two of these vertical stitches close together and then pro- ceed with the next bundle. If you like, you may make all the long stitches of one color and then take the vertical stitches with another color. And you may make a liitle border line with run- ning stitches. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Fruit and Gelatin. Gelatin desserts are delicious with fruit. The other day I saw lemon jelly molded with huckleberries. The gela- tin mixture was cooled before it was poured over the berries. Just as it was about to jell it was poured into dessert glasses half full of washed and sorted huckleberries. It was stirred several times, so that the berries were distrib- uted through it while it was stiffening. It was pretty and delicious. Peaches are good with gelatin des- serts, Orange jelly, perhaps, is best and cut into cubes and served with sliced ripe peaches and whipped cream. The peaches are added when it is served, not molded with it. Oatmeal Mush With Dates. One and one-half cupfuls oatmeal, four cupfuls boiling water, one tea- spoonful salt. Sift oatmeal slowly into boiling water, stirring constantly; boil three minutes, then cover closely and set pan in a la'ger vessel containing boiling water. Ccntinue cooking one or two hours longe.. If placed the eve- ning before in n fireless cooker, it will be done in the morning, or it may cook overnight on the back of a coal range where it can remain hot. Fifteen min- utes before serving add the dates, washed, stoned and cut in halves. why certain forms of sport are so bene- | ficial elicited the fact that metabolism— heat and energy production—is greatly accelerated. It was shown that swimming increases | metabolism seven times in most cases | and is the best of all forms of physical recreation. | ‘This is mainly due to the splendid muscular exercise affecting the whole body and the action of the cold water | on the skin which calls for increased | activity of the heat-prgducing mechan- ism and tones up the entire system. In swimming for symmetrical devel- opment, one must learn to use the legs as well as the arms. It is true that per- fect body balance' can be mnnv-amed‘ with the proper arm stroke alone, al- | lowing the legs to trail behind fish fashion, but by this method the chest fegt and legs were not always so lovely cise in the open, joyous exercise in moving waters, are an irre- sistible combination for the attainment of symmetrical lives!

NANCY PAGE _—— Summer Clothes Are Com- fortable Ones BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, ‘The children wore their sun suits in the morning, but after their nap they wore more clothing, albeit it was just as sensible and practical. The suits were enough alike to merit the appella- tion brother-and-sister suits. Nancy used khaki for some of them.

The sleeves were mere abbreviations. Peter's suit had two pockets, while Joan's had only one—a fact concerning which you may be sure Peter rejoiced. The ‘trousers of both suits were in reality shorts. Joan’s were made with pleats so that they gave the appearance of kirts. But by making them in this fashion it was unnecessary for her to wear bloomers under her skirt. For cooler days the children had berets of flannel. Their suits were of flannel also and consisted of pullover | skirt and bloomers for Joan. They wore socks on cool days. When they were in the khak! outfits the socks ‘were omitted. Sandals were about the only type of footgear they wore all Summer except on Sundays when they had low, simple pumps.

O, DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DEAH DOROTHY DIX--My husband and I love each other very much, but at Christmas he gave me & cheap ring when I think he could have afforded a better onc. I was ashamed to show it to my friends. I regarded it as an insult and that he did not show his love as well as he might. My husband thinks I am wrong, and that one should appreciate the spirit behind the gift and not the gift itself. He vows he will give me no more presents, but will just give me money instead. What do you think? MRS. A, H. M. ANSWm: ‘There is an old poem that says “If in his gifts he can faithless be, there will be no gold in his love for me,” which I suppose about expresses your opinion on the subject. wife it doesn’t seem to me that the man's gift is any measure of his affec- tion for his wife. There may have been presslnfi calls on him for money and he may have thought that as you are equally interested in the pros- perity of the family you would profit just as much by putting the extra money in the bank as he would. It wouldn't be all gain to you if he had mmdwu an expensive present as it would have been if some other person one 80. But in the case of a husband and IT SEEMS to me that the value of a gift lies in the spirit of the giver, and that it 1s a sordid thing to e it in dollars and cents. I am very sure, after the row you have made about this present, that you have killed all of the romance and sentiment that your husband had about picking out something for you himself, and that he will never again surprise you with anything. He will never think that Mary or Sally or Suste, or whatever your name is, will just be tickled pink with this. He will wonder if you will look at the price tag and think it cost enough. THAT is a pity. You have thrown away a sentiment you can never get ' back again, and that is a pretty high price to pay for a ring that didn't come up to your expectation. Many and many a woman whose husband gives her a check for her Christmas and birthday that is big enough to buy a string of real pearls with, would rather have a $7 present that he picked out himself, and that showed he was willing to take the trouble to find something that would You know, my dear, there are stingy receivers as well as stingy givers, and if you value a gift by the money it cost instead of the love it shows and if you are not willing to take things as generously as they are offered, you are one of these.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Tipping as Summer Problem. Persons who do 'not travel at any other time of the year are often away from home in Summer. On trains, in boats, and at hotels they find them- selves obliged to tip the various porters, waiters, maids, and others that serve them. Usually it is not a question of whether one wishes to tip or not, but how much one should tp. It does not make matters easier by remarking about the evils of Mpmnt On trains tipping is largely a mat- ter of personal judgment. People who make overnight runs may tip their por- ters 25 cents to 50 cents. Exceptional tips are more or less, but those two seem to be the average. Service in the dining ears usually calls for a tip of about 10 per cent of one's check. In all of these cases personal habit, means, and opinion may express themselves differently In boats, at least transatlantic or transpacific liners, there are regulation | tips prescribed by custom. First-class passengers usually tip their room and | dining saloon stewards a sum equiva- lent to $5. Smaller tips are given to steward, “‘boots” or she bootblack, and the bath steward. A dollar is the average tip for the latter. Passengers traveling second or third express his personal taste, DOROTHY DIX. choice in a husband. When I was 18 marriage.

Milady Beautiful BY LOIS LEEDS, Henna Rinse: 0il Treatment. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Please tell me what to use in the Egyptian henna that will tone it down so I may have it make my hair a little darker? 2) My scalp itches quite & lot, though I haven't much dandruff. Could you tell me something I could mix at home which would remedy this? MRS. L. Answer—(1) If you will mix two teaspoonfuls of indigo with enough hot water to form a paste and add this to the henna it will make your hair much darker. I would suggest that you use just a little of the indigo first until you find the desired shade, as it is easier to add a little more than to remove what may have been put on ) "Hiot ot trestments ot ofl treatments are for an itching scalp.
