MAGAZINE PAGE. Radio in Interior Decoration BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. T mE oA NCE I Ne WOOD OF STAND MATCHES INSTRUMENT., AND CHAIR IS NEAR FOR CONVENIENCE OF ONE WHO TURNS DIAL. HE best position for a radio in | a home is a problem which confronts every one who gets one of these instruments. There are some main considerations, and many minor cnes. The main ones are more or lo cpendent upon the type of radio selected, and the prox- | imity of neighbors. The decorative value of the mstrument In the scheme ‘ of a room is one of prime significance since radios are becommg almest as | much in evidence as telephones. | Avoid placing the radlo before a win- | dow. Not only is this considered an un- | wise choice from the viewpoint of the instrument’s best care, but the sound will circulate around the neighborhood to ance of neighbors. In | a disagreeable thing | your pleasurc prov It is a dusty to those living nearby | place for the in-trument. The back of many radios is not a decorative feature, \ and if the racio stands higa enough to | be seen through the window. this should | be considerc ofully. The decorative features of a house should be attractive on the outside as well as the inside. | The innumerable sty | dios are now made make it possible as | never before to include the instruments as actual elements of decorative value in the interior. The console radio and the cabinet type are two that stand out as important from this aspect. The first is low, and the top can be utilized, it nced there be, for a table of the console type. Where wall space is at a premium, this style of radio is sug- gested. Where a high radio s wanted, one £o disguised that it gives little evidence of its being anything but a fine cabinet, the tall type lends this decorative fea- ture. In these, as in the console type, there are many artistic models. Let it not be close to a window, lest the noise break the quiet of persons outside. and of neighbors who may want some station you do not. Have it against an inside wall if you can, just as you would if it were a piano. If it is not a standard style. see that the table holding it is not wabbly. is large enough without being too large, and is of the same wood as the instru- ment or certainly approximating it in color. Place it where it will give the maximum of pleasure to the majority in the home, and where the sound of it can be shut out from those who must in which ra- | have quiet when others may wish to | use the instrument.

EAR MISS LEEDS. — What kind of shoe should I wear? und - toed shoes fit the ura hape of my foot, but when I go to buy shoes the salesman always tells me I should wear pointed shoes. They make me look as though I had bunions. I like to wear high heels WAITING. Answer.—If you wear such shoes, you will not only look as though you have bunions, but you will soon have them. The natural position of the great toe is pointed straight forward. When Pointed shoes are worn, this toe is squeezed out of position, the joint en- | Jarges and painful bunions develop. In choosing shoes, therefore, be sure to| look for the straight inner line that| allows the great toe to lie in its normal | position. Shoes of this type come With graceful oval toes that follow the nat- ural curve of the feet. Feet should not be forced into shoes that do mnot fit them. For general wear choose comfortable shoes with heels no higher one and one-half inches. For occasions a higher heel is per- missible. Habitual wearing of very high heels will weaken the feet and thicken the ankles. No one who always w high heels is a _good pedestrian and walking is one of the best exer- cises for keeping oneself physically fit. LOIS LEEDS. Coiffure for Long Face. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) I have a long face and large nose. How should I wear my hair? Would it look better straight or waved? I would like a short boyish bob, but wonder if it would be becoming. (2) 1 have very long, straight eyelashes. How can I make them curl? THANK. Answer—(1) Wavy hair would prob- ably look better than straight with your type of face. Don't think of getting a short bob.

Dear Miss Leeds—(1) I am 24 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weigh only 102 pounds. How can I gain weight? (2) Please give me the recipe for a rinse for blonde hair that, is_turning darker. MILLIE. Answer—(1) You are 31 pounds be- low the average weight for your age and height. Such a large degree of underweight is likely to be associated with some form of ill-health, so my advice is that you see a doctor without delay. Have a thorough physical ex- amination. I have a free leaflet giving suggestions for gaining weight that I shall be glad to mail you on receipt of your request accompanied by a stamped, addressed envelope. (2) To make a mild blonde rinse to use after the shampoo mix together two tablespoonfuls strained lemon juice, one teaspoonful tartaric acid, two tablespoonfuls peroxide and two quarts water. . Prune Whip. ‘Wash half a pound of prunes through several waters until thoroughly clean. Place in a bowl with one cupful of water to soak over night. In the morn- ing cook the prunes in the water in which they have soaked for 15 minutes or until tender. Press through a colander. Measure the pulp and juice. There should be one cupful. Add one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Place the pulp with half a cupful of sugar over the heat and stir until the sugar is dis- solved. Cool. Whip the whites of five eggs until very light. Add one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and the prune whip in small quantities until all of it has been mixeq with the whites of eggs, whipping always in the same direction. Pile the mixture lightly in a greased baking dish surrounded by water, and place in the oven. Bake at a medium temperature for about 60 minutes. ‘When baked at a low temperature for this length of time, the pudding will not fall after cooling.

BY MILDRED MOCKASEE. ard o - e~ Sudeu o atomda AN e« HIS very small writing presented a very attractive appearance on an entire page. A few lines alone, however, are a little Giffi- cult to read on account of its small size and unique letter forms. The pleasing impression which the page pre- sents probably reflects a real appre- ciation of beauty on the part of the writer. She has used wide, even margins and well balanced spacings that would also be an expression of this tendency. In addition, the unusual letter forms suggest that she herself may have real artistic ability. She seems a person who would be able to draw well, mak- ing her pencil express her thoughts in picture form. Apparently she would prefer simple line drawings to more elaborate, shaded ones. She might be able to make a few strokes express her whole idea. This type of drawing is very popular now for magazine illus- trating. She might specialize and study with the idea of developing herself for an artist's career. ‘We should expect her to be & very gracious friend, although it perhaps is very hard for her to make first ad- vances. She possibly waits for the other person to speak first, feeling hesitant about pushing herself forward. Once she forms a friendship, however, it is probably a lasting one. In all probability she is intensely in- Her deep sympathies would perhaps be aroused by suffering, especially of little chil- dren. She might be particularly inter- in crippled children, devoting time and money to their welfare. Th interest has perhaps grown out of her love for the children with whom she has been thrown in contact.

It is something new this season, and you will find it a useful addition to your late Winter wardrobe. It is the sort of thing that you will find most convenient to buy readymade. though you may decide to make the foun- dation over which it is to be worn your- self. In some of the shops where these new lace blouses are sold you may be told that they may be worn over colored slips. A better plan is to use up the material of a dress that you no longer find useful in your present wardrobe or to buy a few yards of satin or silk crepe and to make the foundation precisely as you like it The little blouse is made of white or ecru lace or may be had in a tint and may be worn with a foundation of black, matching or contrasting colored.

By holding correct body posture all parts of the body are free and un- cramped: the center of gravity is thrown over the ball of the advancin foot, which gives the body balance and ease in walking: the chest will be thrown high for best breathing action and straight. broad shoulders give a pleasing appearance and personal at- tractiveness.

Tilustrations by Mary Foley. MUSKRAT. ITY boys surely have been cheated unless they are Scouts or belong to some nature club, and have had the joy of fol- lowing the tracks made by tiny feet through the woods. Whether the tracks are made on the snow or in the mud, to the boy trained in wood lore they have a meaning that will give you a thrill after you have learned their story. ‘Take the ‘muskrat, a water animal whose tracks will be found along the banks of streams and ponds. You can say with authority, “that muskrat was jumping,” and you know why, because the mud or snow was deep. And over here you can see that he was just run- ning along, because the tracks tell you so. The front feet of the muskra: are smaller than the hind ones and the ys followed by the imprint creature’s tail. The running muskrat has a_continous line behind s tracks, while the jumping tracks show the sign of the tail, following the paired imprints made by the feet. The tail is very strong, bare and about eight inches long. Soon after the thaws of March or, in some localities, February. the musk- | rat comes up out of the water and | scans the landscape. Rather a strange looking creature, With a body about one foot long. stout and stocky. His head is somewhat rounded and looks very much as a huge mouse might look. The eyes are black and shining; the cars, set close to the head, are very short: the teeth are like those of other rodents and consist of front ones on each jaw, the long bare space and four grinders on either side. About the nose and mouth are whiskers which are ex- tremely sensitive hairs. The hind legs are stronger and larger than the front ones. They are longer, | too, and have a web between the toes as well as stiff hairs. This, as you know, is a great aid to the swimmer. The front feet are unwebbed and make excellent digging tools. The long. coarse hair forms the outer coat and covers a very thick, fine fur, which is waterproof. The muskrat is dark brown, with a dark streak along the center of the {back. The underbody is grayish. | | changing to white near the throat and | lips. He has a brown spot on his chin. In getting the pelt ready for the market, all the long hairs are pulled ' out. leaving only the soft fur, which is dved and sold under the name of electric seal” and many other names. The muskrat can get over the ground kiy, and he is a swift swimmer. His scaly, flattened tail makes an excellent rudder as well as a propeller. He can ' dive and stay under the water for some | time.

Appetitelessness has many causes. some | of them far removed from diet, but the most frequent one which comes to my attention is simply overfeeding. The baby gets more food than he ! needs and_very wisely refuses to eat| it, thus adjusting his own diet with-| out adult aid. Here is a clear case of overfeeding, with the anxious motner insistent upon | baby’s drinking her milk whether she will or no. Of all the errors for| which there is no excuse the most flagrant one is forcing a child to eat | when she obviously does not need it. ! Mrs. J. T. R. appeals to me for help: “My months’ old baby won't take her milk. She goes without eating ! sometimes as long as 16 hours, although she never cries and is very active, healthy and good-natured. She weighed 7 pounds at birth and now at 5 months weighs 3 ounces less than | 14 pounds. She gains most irregularly, lost 3 ounces one week, gained 12 the next, and last week only 1 ounce. What shall I do? “Her feedings are four in all. Twenty-nine ounces of milk, nine ounces of water and five tablespoonfuls of malt sugar compose the formula. Here is her schedule: “6 am. Formula. “9 am. One ounce of orange juice. “10 a.m. Four teaspoonfuls of farina and formula. Formula. Orange juice. “6 pm. Cereal and formula. She refuses a bottle at 10 and she takes only from three to four ounces of milk, which I must force. I now give her cod liver oil and she likes it.” ‘The maximum amount of milk to be given children is about 2 ounces for each pound of their weight. A baby may be well nourished with only 1'> ounces per pound. This smaller formula for your baby would be 21 ounces of milk and the large one only 26 ounces. Four and one-half level tablespoonfuls of the maltose is enough, “2 pm. 5 pm. | never do know enough to stay especially when baby is refusing the richer mixtures. Suppose you try 21 ounces of milk, 41, tablespoonfuls of maltose and boiled water to make four T-ounce feedings. Omit the fifth bottle, since baby doesn't take it. Your present method of feeding is excellent, but you may increase the amount of farina, if baby enjoys it, and use some of that particular bottle of formula over it, giving her the rest of the milk to drink. Give 2 teaspoonfuls of cod liver oil daily and get baby out every day for as long as possible. A nap in the open air is fine. Use a grade A pasteurized milk, with an average amount of cream. say 4 to 415 per cent cream. If you average her gains for the month, you may be surprised to discover that she makes a good average weekly gain of about 5 ounces.
