It is mede of three lengths of three-inch ribbon sewed together. For a scarf of the length shown here you will need three and one-half feet of ribbon for each of the three strips, but you may want your scarf a little shorter or longer. The ribbons are lapped slightly and stitched together. The ribbon at one edge side laps over the center rib- bon and the center ribbon laps over the ribbon at the other side. The finished scarf is just a little less than nine inches . wide. ~Grosgrain ribbon was chosen for the scarf we examined but any substantial sort of ribbon might be chosen. Ycu may use three tones of the same color, three different colors, or you may have the center strip of one color with the ribbons at the sides 1 of contrasting color. The ends of the ribbon are turned & narrow hem and stitched down. | To wear with & white suit or coat nothing could bs smarter than a scarf |of this sort made of red, white and | blue ribbon—white in the center with red on one side and blue on the other, Brown, vellow and white also makes a4 smart combination to go with a white | costume worn with yellow and brown accessories or with a brown suit. * (Copyright, 1931.) = % A Clams and Noodles.

LXEL -, BUFFALO GNAT. Simuliidae Family. E is hump-backed and about one-fourth the size of the house fly. He is the most pestiferous little beast you ever want to know. He is a blood- sucker, too, and torments animals by crawling into their ears, eyes and nostrils. In Texas it stings the cattle and horses so they become frantic with pain. It is also known as the black fly or turkey gnat. The bables grow in swiftly flowing water and are about one-sixth of an inch long when grown. The mother lays her eggs on the surface of rocks, or-she may select a branch or stem of a plant so close to the water's edge that the weight of the egg will cause the stem to lie in the water, On rock surface the eggs Wwill look like moss. At first they are a dirty yellow, turn- ing to black later. In one week to a month the eggs will hatch and queer looking yellow, brown or black larvae cling close to the surface of the rocks or loop about by means of suckers on both ends of thelr bodies. They spin silken ropes, which they cleverly fasten to the rocks. You have very likely secn great patches of this “moss” and did not realize you were looking at thousands of future buffalo gnats. Examined under a magnifying glass you would be amazed to see these little bables were standing up and using a pair of brushes on their heads for the purpose of fanning food into their mouths. The food is minute plant or animal life. Some of the species live this way for a month and others for several months. Then the baby spins a silken robe open at both ends and secured to a rock.

Massage for Thin Lips. ‘There are two types of lips that are particularly benefited by massage. One 15 the naturally straight, thin sort which make a girl look older than her years because we all assoclate suzh lips with firm, mature characters. Thin lips may be daintily shaped, but there is & suggestion of severity about them that is not so appealing as the softer, fuller lines of the average girl's mouth. Then there are lips that have become thinner with the passing years. There may be little puckers around them, too, and & drooping tendency at the corners. Lip massage may be had at any beauty shop. but very few of them give special attention to it. Since the materials needed for one of these treatments are few and simple, milady can easily be her own beautician as far as lips are concerned. A tissue cream or oil is re- quired to lubricate the massage. Some prefer muscle oil, which has astringent properties as well as being oily. There should be absorbent cotton and an as- tringent lotion to apply after the mas- sage. Cleanse the skin first, then rub in the cream or oll. It is not necessary to DAILY DIET RECIPE BAKED HAM. Piece of ham, two inches thick; one-half cup flour, three- fourths cup water, two table- spoons vinegar, two tablespoons brown sugar, one-half teaspoon cinnamon, about 12 whole cloves.

Place on & rack in a baking pan in a very, very hot oven so that the crust will cook quickly. After 15 minutes, when the crust has browned, reduce the heat about 100 degrees and bake, allowing 20 minutes to the pound. Re- move from the oven and take off the crust and any skin. Mix together one-half eup of water, the vinegar, sugar and cinna- lips relaxed, others are iore effective when the circular band of muscle that forms the lips is Begin the massage with a gentle but firm rotary movement, with the index finger over both lips. Have your mouth open a little and the lips drawn over the teeth. This rotary massage irons out the small, puckers. Go ever the lps four times. Relax the.lips and then pinch them gently toward the center, using the thumb and first two fingers. The ball of the.index finger is placed in the |groove in the upper lip. Repeat four or lnve times. Gently pull the lip away from the teeth and let it fall back to its | natural position. Repeat twice. | When there are little lines forming at | the corners of the mouth, massage over | them with a circular movement. Try to | smooth out the creases during the mas- sia:e by swinging the lips to the opposite | side. A few minutes of lip exercises may precede or follow the massage, but the skin should be well oiled before they are done. Shoot the lips forward in an ex- aggerated pout.

A good way to keep it from monotony is to invest occasion- ally in new impiements. They needn't cost much, but they give variety and additional interest to the work. One such little device makes curls of potato which may then be French fried. O curls of other vegetables, such as carrots, which may then be boiled and served most attractively with but- ter. The remaining carrot or potato may be used for soup, for a scalloped dish or in some other way. A tiny chopping bowl in which par- sley, nuts and other foods in small quan- tity' can be chopped is enother great help—much easier to use than a big chopping bowl or grinder. There are also little rotary knives that may be used to mince vegetables. They just run back and forth across a board on which the vegetable is spread. There are devices to make criss-cross edges to sliced cucumbers, there are some to make lattice potatoes and others to cut tiny balls from potatoes—for fry- ing—or from melons—for fruit cup.
