WOMEN'’S FEATURES. B—10 Large Crop Indicates Plentiful Supply of < Posture May Aid Swagger FashionType Youthful Factor Has Great Influence For Emphasis. BY ELSIE PIERCE. OU'VE heard it before—posture is ! & very important part of true beauty. Posture makes for physical perfection. Posture, proper posture, regal carriage transforms an inex- pensive dress, makes it and its wearer lock “a million.” Fashion has long since walked hand in hand with beauty. The one cannot be separated from the other without both suffering. Now comes the swag- ger silhouette. Verve and dash in it. A beauty thet is vibrant in contrast to the pretty, picturesque princess fashions. Both demand graceful car- riage, head and shoulders held pride- fully high. The swagger silhouette, even more than any other type, demands proud carriage, graceful movement. Other- | wise it falls flat and frumpy. The | style in itself is only as lovely as its| wearer is graceful. It is essentially vouth's fashion. Middle-aged women ; had better avoid it unless they happen to be among the fortunate few who at 40 have the figure and gait of a 16-year-old. On a pair of shoulders properly | poised this new swagger mode be-| comes almost an animate thing. It| expresses encrgy, viaciousness, courage | end self-respect. On a pair of shoul- | ders hunched the swagger silhouette | 8lso becomes hunched, bunched, unbe- coming, burdensome. Talk about clothes making the woman—we con- | tend that the woman makes the clothes! Posture Test. Stand before a full length mirror. Pull your head up; your chin should be in an almost horizontal position, but should feel natural. See how the shoulders come along. They just can't slump when the head is held high. The chest comes up, too. Now ali you have to do is make sure that the abdomen is held in and controlled. Have you ever tried shoulder shrug- ging. We won't comment on the exer- cise as a gracious gesture, but we do | know that it helps keep that part of the anatomy youthful and graceful. It helps to overcome an ugly, round line. Arm flinging and Indian swinging exercises are good, too. Then there's the old reliable walk- ing around the room with a book bal- | anced on the head, That makes one | walk tall, pull up straight to one's full height.

The pleated idea is being strongly promoted by some of the best houses. Sometimes the pleats are at the front of the frock with a very plain back, or as shown in an original Alix frock, with a pleated back panel from neck to hem. The dress is a medium blue wool jersey with a wide green leather oelt; the neck line high at front and much lower at the back. The panel is caught to the hem of the dress so that it does not swing out too far, yet has plenty of graceful movement. The front of this frock is perfectly plain and the sleeves long and untrimmed. Por evening wear the most ex- quisitely draped gowns are being shown in white, as inspired by the anclent Greek goddesses. They re- veal all the subtle and beautiful lines of the figure and are masterpieces of draping, quite a mystery to the eyes of the casual observer. Therein lies their charm and there is no fear of these frocks being copied in the lower price ranges, as their intricate draping defles analysis without careful ex- amination. White with silver is the favorite interpretation of the Greek feeling, worn with white or silver flat sandals, and it goes without saying, that they belong only to the woman whose figure is tall, slender and graceful. * ok Kk % T OUR own shops we will be seeing these smart fashions and as an ‘| example there is sketched today a PATTERN 5418 Aren't they lifelike, these wild roses and lilacs, which form the loveliest ©of cutwork floral sprays? You'll want to do them in their natural coloring, of course, and a lovelier combination of color doesn’t exist than delicate pink and orchid. Of course, if you prefer, you can work your design in a thread which matches the linen to be embroidered instead of using varied colors. The cutwork is very easy to do—its lines sweeping and simple—no bars to complicate the work. It's & pattern which lends itself well to scarf ends, cloths, pillows, doilies with matching centerpiece and a host of other small linens. In pattern 5418 you will find one and one reverse motif 6 by 9 inches, two and two reverse motifs 414 by.5 inches and four motifs 214 by 315 inches; material requirements; illustrations of all stitches needed; color suggestions.

ABBAGE into kraut—is the fate of one-sixth of the Fall cabbage crop in this country, according to the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture. Contrary to the prevailing opinion, sauerkraut was probably not invented in Germany. History indicates that most likely the Tartars, in Asia, first made it, and in- troduced it to the Slavic peo- ples of Eastern in turn, brought it 3 into Germany. Kraut has long been made in Northern and Central Europe, and it was, ap- parently, brought to America by German immi- grants. Most of the Betsy Caswell. in this country, is made in factories around the Great Lakes, where it is canned. A high-quality product is turned out and the carefully prepared kraut reaches the consumer in her- metically-sealed tins. Good sauerkraut, experts tell us,| should be crisp and easy to chew— tough. It should have very little | color, although kraut in the keg may have a deeper tinge than the canned product. These qualities depend upon the type of cabbage used, and the methods employed in making the kraut. If immature or defective cab- bage is used, the result is equally de- | fective kraut. *x x ® *x 'HE characteristic flavor of sauer- kraut is caused by the acid | formed from the cabbage sugar. Salt| is added to the cabbage, which draws out the juice, in which the sugar is dissolved. Lactic acid bacteria, al-| ways present on cabbage, ferment the juice and create the peculiar taste. Sauerkraut is a delightful addition to many meat dishes—especially those employing pork. With frankfurters, with spareribs, with country sausage, or even with pork chops, the tangy | flavor blends deliciously. More un- ! usual combinations include sauerkraut | with macaroni and chipped beef and sauerkraut with corned beef hash. | The Germans have a way of frying sauerkraut in fat, with a few onions, and another European recipe gives directions for browning kraut for about five minutes in butter, and seasoning | with caraway or celery seed. Although | the kraut has less vitamin value than | cabbage, it is well-stotked with min- eral values, which are necessary in the filling and “ | balanced diet. Inexpensive, tasty, sauerkraut becomes a welcome addition to low-cost menus. &% S FOR the rest of the great cab-| bage crop, the bureau informs us | that it is a tremendous one this year, | with unusually fine plants.

We | seldom consider our duty | to be happy. Yet if one | is a privilege, the other is a sacred | obligation. Personally, it has always seemed to | me that pecple who have even a mod- erate share of the good things of life are not oniy poor sports, but also black ingrates when they go about beating upon their breasts and bedew- ing the world with their tears. Often they have so much to rejoice over. Good health. Pleasant family rela- tionships. A comfortable living. Yet because they have not reached some impossible standard of bliss in which there will not be a single crumpled rose leaf under their forty mattresses of ease, they are Gloomy Guses and Gustines. One of the most melancholy women that I know has never had a single real sorrow or hardship in her life. Fate has spared her the grief of ever losing any one she really loved by death. While not rich, she has always lived in modest luxury and never had to worry about where the next meal was coming from. She has had a kind and devoted husband who has never looked at another woman. Her children have not only turned out to be all that any mother’s heart could wish, but also are singularly tender and considerate of “poor mamma,” who is always so sad. * %k *x NOW wouldn’t you think a woman circumstanced like that would be cracking her heels together for joy and singing & merry roundelay at the top of her voice? Wouldn't you think she would be patting herself on the back at being Lady Luck's favorite daughter? Wouldn't you think that she would feel that it was her duty to show her gratitude to God for all the good things He had given her by at least looking as if she enjoyed them and liked them? Well, if you do, you guess wrong. She goes about with the pathetic, resigned expression of a martyr on her way to the stake, and if there is a single ray of sunshine in this gloomy old world, she never even glimpses it. “We can’t expect happiness here be- low,” she says with a sigh, and totally ignores the fact that when the Crea- tor of the world filled it with beauty and things for us to enjoy; when He hung the sun and the moon in the skies and made seas and mountains and blooming flowers and put the song in a bird’s throat, He meant us to find happiness. We are quitters and cowards if we don't hunt until we do find it. * ok ok x I OFTEN think that the silver lining to the black cloud of depression To Combat Food Costs Both Forms of the Vegetable Are Highly Rated in the “Protective” Diet for the Cold Winter Months. We Should All Do Our Part in Dissem- inating Happiness. mical and Tasty Be Evolved Danish baldhead, late flat Dutch and Wisconsin Hollander. Because this kind of cabbage matures best in cool weather, it is planted chiefly in the Northern States or at high altitudes to make sure of cool temperatures to- ward the end of the growing season. The Danish baldhead and Wisconsin Hollander are the two varieties that store the best, the bureau says. After the heads become hard they are cut from the stalk, stripped of all loose leaves, hauled to market, and then to the store house, where they are placed on slatted shelves with plenty of air space between. The heads must be free from disease of any kind, and they should also be free from injury due to rough handling or from insects. The storage temperature is kept just above freezing, and the air is kept quite moist (80 to 85 per cent humidity. This should fnterest those of us who have been “stored” here in Washing- ton all Summer, and know more than we like about high humidity!) Cabbage is one of the most versatile of vegetables. It fits into lunch or dinner, either as a vegetable, a main dish, a salad or a garnish. Coarsely shredded, cooked for only a few min- utes—overcooking cabbage is a culi- nary crime—and seasoned with butter or salt pork, salt ana pepper, it be- | comes one of the most delicate of | vegetables, and an important “protec- tive” food. Cooked with milk, thick- ened slightly with blended butter and flour, it is unexcelled as a nourish. ing, filling hot dish for a cold day. L 'ABBAGR. spaghetti and cheese, scalloped in milk, makes a splen- did, inexpensive “all-in-one” dish. Cabbage may also be scalloped with ground peanuts, or with cheese sauce. The traditional German steamed cabbage, which combines so de- liciously with ham or corned beef, is first seasoned with vinegar and, later, with a little sour cream. Another European dish is “filled cabbage.” For this the center of the head is cut out, the shell parboiled and the cavity filled with the center part of | the cabbage, chopped fine, and com- | bined with ground meat, bread crumbs, chopped onions and other pungent | seasonings. The whole affair is then | baked in the oven and is sure to be welcomed by the family when it ap- pears steaming and aromatic at the dinner table. Swedish sweet-sour cabbage cooked with apples is good, too, if you are one of the addicts of the “sweet-sour™” | form of cooking. Raw cabbage, in | cole slaw, salads and prepared in | the Dutch manner by combining | shredded cabbage and crisp bits of fried bacon with a dressing of pork | fat, vinegar, salt, pepper and dry mustard, is a valuable addition to our diet, and its crisp, distinctive | flavor makes it a favorite with old and young. In planning your Winter menus and | food budget include both cabbage and | sauerkraut for true economy and extra food value!

Dix Says under which we have lived for the last few years has been the grand opportunity it gave the wailers to do their stuff. They have had the center of the stage on which to do their breasg-beating and hair-tearing. Their lamentations have made poor old Jere- miah look like a cheer leader. Half of us have rheumatism in our shoul- ders from having them wept on by people who were caught in breaking banks, or were on the wrong side of Wall Street, or lost their jobs or something. Of course, not everybody is born a Pollyanna, and those who have suf- fered from the hard times have a right to lead the chorus of the blues singers, though crying over spilt milk doesn't put it back in the bottle. None of us object to listening to their tales of woe. What we do resent is having to lend an ear to the hard- luck stories of those who moan and groan over their losses, but who are still able to ride around in limousines, keep up town houses and country places, take trips and live just ex- actly as they have been in the habit of living. WE FEEL that, instead of bewailing their bad luck, they should be thanking Heaven on their knees for how easily they have got off, and that, instead of adding to the pre- vailing gloom, they should try to lighten it by at least contributing a note of personal optimism. One of the reasons the depression has lasted 50 long is because we have encouraged it by telling each other our troubles. We could have laughed it off long ago if we had remembered our blessings instead of centering our attention on our misfortunes. * X ¥ X ‘We do not think of being happy as & duty, yet it is one that we owe to the general public and especially one that we owe to our families. All of us know how depressing it is to have to listen for an hour or two to the melancholy croakings of some one who can see no good in anything or anybody, or to have some one come to see us and sob out her sorrows that we are powerless to assuage. ‘ We all know how a letter filled with bad news and whinings and com- plaints can ruin a day for us. And 50 1t becomes an obligation to us not to commit the crime of dis- seminating melancholy and adding our troubles to the troubles of others. So let’s show that we appreciate the good things we have by being happy over them. It is our duty to be happy. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1835.).

It started out, quite boldly to be a coat-dress, and changed its mind, which is the privilege of all things | feminine. So it acquired a round little | collar, and buttons in the front, that don’'t button a thing, but just look mighty pretty. Three buttons, found their way onto the belt, which is a very nice trimming, and repeats the buttons on the front of the blouse. And then came bishop sleeves, which those of you who are not as old as| time may inot know about, but which are, in reality, peasant sleeves, a little less full, gathered at top and bottom, and attached to a narrow cuff at the wrist. This dress is delightful in either| silk or wool. For a “dressy” sort of | frock it is of black silk crepe, dull and heavy, with rhinestone buttons. Black is much in vogue for the young this season, and lives there a girl who doesn’t adore it above all things? But it must be very simple and youthful, not the sophisticated black worn by her older sister. Then there are all the simply gorgeous Renaissance col- ors—violet, and blue, wine and yellow- | green, coppery tones, Titian, which is pretty nearly rust, and vibrant gold. Thin wools are just as nice as silk— | some like them better for the Fall and | Winter seasons—and velveteen is much liked in simple models like this one. Sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20.

It is, nome the less, and the shirtwaist dress is one mode which deserves the term. It is always good, in all seasons, all countries and almost all hours. It is a basic design from which all sorts of variations occur. It is smart in Bond street and Main street. This is the shirtwaist dress without adulteration, just pure basic design. And although like all the variations upon the theme, we like best the straightforward simplicity of this dress. Shallow shoulder yoke, turned- back collar, tailored pocket, sleeves which end in 8 mannish cuff, the skirt with its four inverted pleats and, most of all, the monogram on the front! Have it in fuchia flannel, or gray wool jersey. Or in dregs of wine silk crepe, with dull blue initial and belt. Or wool challis, which has patterns like men's cravats. Or wool crepe, in one of the Renaissance colors. If you are enamored of plaids, select the boldest one you can find. If you haven't a velveteen dress, get that, plain or figured.

BY ANGELO PATRI HILDERN need playmates of their own age. This association is as satisfying to them as a good meal. They seek it, fight for it, weep when they fail to find it. Parents are be- wildered by this demand, especially when it is not successfully met. There is nothing one can do to make chil- dren play with other children if they decide otherwise. The unwanted child finds himself outside with no chance of a hearing. Why does this happen to perfectly fine children? Why do not the other children welcome them? A child who is unusually intelligent, | unusually large for his age, cannot fit into the group of children who are his own age. This gifted child thinks ahead of the others a distance of several years. He organizes his play while the others scramble along any- how and are content. He uses words and arrangements of words years ahead of the others and they cannot | understand what he says. His atti- tudes are mature by a couple of years 50 that he scorns as childish much of what his companions delight in doing. The group turn upon him and drive him out. There is no way for this child to get companionship within his age group. When he turns to the older ones they will not give him a hear- | ing. “Go home and grow up. What do you want here? Go on, play with | your little brother.” To these chil- | dren who are his equals in intelligence he seems to be an infant and they cry, “Away with him.” The intelligent, gifted child often ! has a lonely period of years at the start. He must stay by himself, play by himself. He takes to his books, | his hobbies, his home amusements. | He gets what pleasure he can in as- sociation with older people who find him interesting. But he is lonely. If he can be placed in & group of | gifted children he feels better. If this cannot be done he must struggle along | until time spans the gap, some time during the high school years. After that he takes his place as a leader | and is happier. The unusually dull child has the same sort of trouble. He comes in crying to his mother, “They won't let me play with them.” There is no use in sending him out again. He is | right about it. They won't let him play. Try to arrange things so he can find amusement in his own home, with his own toys among his own in- terests. It is impossible to force chil- dren to play with him if they decide not to and that is what they usually decide. It will save a lot of trouble to accept the decision of the group and keep the child away from them. ‘Whenever a child is unpopular among his companions Jook into these 8/c8/-8 BARBARA BELL, WASHINGTON ETAR.
