GIAMONDS IWATCHELES ON CREDIT E !:’ARIDNISS Recently, in lecturing to a group of young women, I made the statement that women who wear tight shoes |doom themselves to obesity and bad breath, Such was the conclusion. Perhaps the reasoning may influence some who would refuse to be guided by the flat statement of conclusion. Every woman wishes to be attract- ive—wants to be pretty if she can— in any event, as near it as possible. If she cannot be pretty she wants to develop at least one pretty feature. | A small foot with a narrow toe ap- | peals to some, A young girl is liable | to yield to the temptation to cramp | her feet. Suppose she gains that end | —let us see what she pays for it. When she cramps the front end of | her toes together she spreads the bones of the ball of the foot. This makes corns and bunions. When she | wears shoes that are too narrow or | too short she disarranges the struc- turés of her feet and in time she dc-" velops fallen arches or some other | form of painful feet. | When she wears heels that are too | high and too narrow she induces pains in the calves of her legs. No one with bunions, painful feet, or flat- tened arches will exercise. Exercise is out of the question when the feet are uncomfortable. The woman who does not work or exercise has soft, | flabby muscles, 1f her leg and arm muscles are flabby her abdominal muscles are certain-to be Rabby also. A woman who, does not exercise and who has flabby' muscles is reasonably certain to get fat. After 40 she is very apt to become obese. If the ab- dominal muscles are flabby the ab- domen is liable to sag, displacing the abdominal organs more or fess. A woman whose feet are uncom- fortable, who does no physical work, takes little exercise, has soft, flabb; muscles and a sagging abdomen, will probably develop constipation. The cause of bad breath may be the nose, the tonsils or the teeth. Al- though the proof is not conclusive, the probability is that the most fre- quent cause is the absorption of cer- tain substances from the intestinal tract. The proof is conclusive that under certain circumstances aromatic substances are formed in the intes- ‘tines, absorbed into the blood, and excreted by certain organs. We know of certain aromatic substances formed \in the body and present in the breath in diabetes. One way to tem- porarily relieve bad breath 1s to take a purge and eat very lightly for three days. Bad breath is often present in the constipated, The girl who wears tight shoes gains what she is after—for the time she has a shapely foot. But here is what she pays for it in time: Mis- shapen feet, painful feet, bad posture, fllbgy muscles, obesity, Is it worth the price?

Tha Grace of Order It's all very well to tell one to keep a bureau drawer tidy by using neat boxes for each set of one's posses- sions,” whimsically complained a lit- tle bride. “What advice covers the fact that every time the drawer is ulled open or pushed in, all the oxes slide around and back and for- ward, so that you never know how it's going to look when you go to it in a hurry? No matter how care- fully I arrange mine, I'd get no credit for tidiness if any particular person happened to be {ooking over my shoulder into my top drawer.

If the boxes you use are of pasteboard, get a dozen or two good strong thumb tacks, or even some of these push pins. The thumb tacks are flatter, and don’t interfere, but the farther. Then push them right through the bottoms of the boxes, and fasten them to the wood of the drawef. Use your good sense about it, using a pin that will go well into the wood without going through to the other side. *Of course, it would be possible to glue the boxes to the wood of the drawers, but in a bureau one wants to have the white lining pad, or towel, or whatever one uses, in between. The pins don’t hurt the lining, and are easy to take out at any time when you want to clean the drawer, or to a the places for keeping things.

I know how to do that al- “All the more reason why you should do it, then,” persisted her fa- ther. “But, father, there’s nothing excit- ing about trimming hats.'I want to do something to make money; I want to be independent; but trimming hats seems such a mediocre thing to do. Why, I've done my hats and helped other girls with hats all my life. When 1 set about doing something in ear- nest, I want it be something worth while.” “Did you ever hear that old say- ing about doing a thing well?” said her father. » “I have,” said Edith, smiling. “Learn to do one thing well, and no matter how small it is the world will make a pathway to your door.” Edith repeated it to herself thought- fully. “It isn’t a bit what I had dreamed of doing,” she sighed. By CONS'TANCI CLARKE. Although many soups can be made with water, they will be richer and more nourishing if, instead of water, they are made with the Hquor in which meat has been boiled. For this consommee take two or three pounds of leg of veal, a bunch of sweet herbs, mace-bay leaves, parsley and two ounces of vermicelli. Cut +the meat in very thin slices, put it into a pot; break up the bones as small as possible, and put them on top of the meat. Add the mace heérbs and vermicelli to the meat and pour over all three quarts of boiling ‘water. [ Simmer the whole for twelve hours over a very slow fire. Then turn the whole into a soup saucepan and sim- mer again till it is reduced to three pints, clearng off the scum as it rises. Then sirain the soup and let it stand two hours to clear, after which pour it carefully into another pan, without mixing any of the sedi- !ment from the bottom with it. Put on ice to chill and serve in cups with salted crackers. To reduce the labor in_preparing soup on hot days beef cubes may be used. (Tomorgow—Sugar Cookies.) | crowns. It had been so excitin Who Win Out “But you know something about it, you have an idea about how to begin. It’s for you to experiment and find a way_ to make the work fascinating.” “That sounds promising; well, I can try anyway.” And Edith resolved to fu!d a way to make her work the thing of beauty that she had always dreamed a career must be. Edith Lanning’s father had been wea.l!hjl—_yqsg now he was facing a business crisis. Edith had always had plenty of money. At the school where she had gone for two years she had developed a remarkable talent for hats. An old hat in Edith's skillful flpge_rs could be so changed as to give it a different aspect. She used to do it as a favor for the girls, and her own hats were always models of Frenchiness. The girls used to oh and ah about her wonderful knack, and exclaim delightedly: “Oh, Edith, you could easily make money doing hats if you ever had to.” The time had come when Edith just naturally wanted to do something. And now, as her father said, she ought to take the talent that had been given her and turn it,to some good use. The idea that finally came.to her was not particularly brilliant, but she resolved to try it out. She invested a small sum in straw, flowers, rib- bons and maline. Then she walked through several hat shops, got some ideas and went home, rtsolved to try them out. After a hard day’s work, she had two hats ready for wear even to the silken linings fastened in their mak- from the ing them, but she had refraine: saying a thing to any one in family. She packed both hats carefully in ‘a hat box and went down to the lit tle shop where she had seen them displayed. A rather slim, pretty gir! }a‘sked Edith what they could do for er. “I want to see madame herscli.” Edith explained sweetly, and a mo ment later a stout woman with gray hair came out of the inmer room and looked Edith over in a superior mann.er‘ Edith took the hats out of the box and displayed - them proud!. *Of course you recogrize these hi she 5xphm;d to the astonished woman 1 copied them from two models of yours, One was priced at 328 and the other at $40. Both of these cost $8.60. Do you think you would have anfiuu for me here?’ 2 adame looked at the girl shrewd ly, taking in her youth, her eager- ness, her attraction, at ome glance. Then she smiled. “Young lady,” she said finally. “I can use you. Would week do for a beginning? You c o into the designing room immediately. Do you like this kind of work?” ~“T love it!” Edith responded promptly, suddenly conscious that she was telling the exact truth. Ho father had been right; she would de- velop the talent that had been given her. Already she was on the right road to success.
