The Problem of Breakfasts
BY LYDIA LB BARON WALKER.
The problem of whether to have a
hearty or a simple breakfast is one that
every homemaker must decide in rela

family. The idea that cereal, with
fruit as a first course, and then a cup

the first thing in the morning if they
enjoy breakfast. This la particularly
true of nervous persons whose vitality
is low in the early hours of the day.
Then a cup of coffee aeems to offer just
the- mild stimulant the system craves.
Usuallv a little later in the day a glass
of milk and a few crackers are very
welcome. It is advisable to precede the
coffee and toast tor roll) with an
orange or grapefruit. Cereal is op
tional, many preferring to omit it, while
others think no breakfast quite com
plete without at least a small dish of
it. Another group of persons who
should have simple breakfasts are those
who cat a hearty dinner at night. A
quantity of filling food is not. required,
as a rule, or two meals in succession,
and so their breakfasts should be light.
Where there arc children who go a
long distance to school, a hearty break
fast starts them off in the day well sat
isfied and in bodily contentment. Have
you ever realized to what a great ex
tent. physical contentment has to do
with mental equilibrium? A well nour
ished person is not apt to be cranky.
Eating either too much or too little
spoils digestion, and an uncertain tem
per generally results. A too hearty
breakfast, when not needed, Is just as
dbastrous as one that is too meager.
If the man of the house has to hurry
off to catch a train taking him to the
city for business, a breakfast that is
especially easy to digest should be
served. The hurry immediately after
the meal is not conducive to good di
gestion. The meal should be sufficient
ly nourishing, but not one that taxes
! the stomach to digest. This is one rca
! son why eggs arc favorites to serve m
i any of their numerous ways It is ad
visable not to serve them alike two day's
in succession. Bacon is a tasty accom
paniment. and so little is required to
add zest to the meal that it may be
served on successive days.
The wise housewife watches the needs
of her family carefully in this matter
of giving the right kind of breakfasts.
It is a mistake to follow too closely any
fashion, for one time the hearty break
fast and another the meager breakfast
is in vogue. Remember that a hearty
dinner at night Implies a simple break
fast in the morning, while dinner in the
middle of the day implies a hearty
breakfast, but no rule can be abbitrary.
Individual needs should be the criterion

I SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
i
The Middle-Aged Sheik.
Bunny's letter is rather incoherent,
but the problem contained in It is suf
ficiently familial to enable one to read
between the lines.
Her doting family—her charming
home. The delightful sophisticated
man of the world who's begun to honor
her with his attention. Ridiculous
stand of the family—narrow-minded
attitude. His patience with them, etc.
It’s all very tragic and terrible. Be
cause, you see, this stupid doting family
of Bunny's has actually turned against
her charming new sw'ain.
There's not a thing in the world the
matter with that suitor of hers. He Is
wealthy, distinguished and intelligent
Bunny feels that he makes all the
other boys appear callow and silly.
He's been so kind to her —sent her
flowers, called up constantly, arranged
the most attractive theater and supper
pft rtifs,
And yet ahe can’t really enjoy her
self. Why? Because her ridiculous
family is in the background, nagging at
her not to stay out late—nagging at her
not to see too much of this older man,
imploring her to go out with boys of
her own age.
She’s Just sick of It, she is. And
Donald, the dear understanding new
friend she’s made, has advised her to
take an apartment in town with a girl
friend of hers.
Her family is up in arms over the
suggestion. If she leaves home they
will never receive her again, etc.
Now' why, Bunny dear, are you so
determined to take your old sheik’s ad
vice?
Why, if you're so keen on Donald’s
wisdom and mature understanding,
don't you lend a willing ear to your own
father?
Because he's not a man of the world,
you’ll tell me. A man of what world?
Donald apparently is a man of the
world of night clubs and poker games
and race-track meets. What makes you
think that the wisdom garnered from
such sources is superior to your father's
everyday brand of common sense?
Simply because old Donald flatters
your vanity. Oh, yes he does. When
you explain to him that you cant pos
sibly stay out on a late party he says
gently: “But my dear, you must not
let your family overrule you in this
way. You're a young woman in intel
ligence and understanding. You
shouldn't let the narrowness of your
parents limit your activities,"
That sounds pretty good to you. You
decide that you've been treated like a
baby long enough. And on the top of
that decision you plan to move to town
where the lights are bright and the re
strictions on late parties are non-exist
ent.
I'm set against these smooth, slick
old boys who come breezing into a
young girl's life .and succeed In per
suading her that she's being treated all
wrong.
They’re not thoughtful for your good.
They’re not actually concerned about
whether you’re getting a square deal at
home or not.
But they would like you to be In
town, where they don’t have to take
you home at 12. far out into a suburb,
where anxious disapproving parents are
waiting.
It would be much simpler for Donald
If you lived in town—lt would save him
taxi fares. It would save him the irk
some necessity of having to be nice to
your parents.
And you, dear little dumbell. are go
ing to turn your back on those parents
of yours, who ask nothing more than
your safety and happiness to make them
completely happy—you're going to turn
them down for a superior old boy who
Is too lazy and selfish to endure the in
conveniences of suburban courtship.
"What a goti."
Think it over. If this man were
really in love with you, his first move
would be to get next to the family.
Even the most middle-aged suitors play
that card first.
The fact that he’s deliberately trying
to separate you from your people
doesn’t augur well for a beautiful ro
mance, - • ~ . » 4»

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.
•'I see that the circus will soon be in
town," said an old actor to the writer
yesterday. "If it hadn’t been for a
small one-ring allow I probably would
be the owner today of a flourishing
plumbing business in my old home
town. I mean by that that my love
for the show racket began when I first
saw Flo, the beautiful bareback rider,
leap from her snow white horse and
curtesy to the applause of the custom
ers. I followed that circus from town
and later became an assistant clown in
th- organization. The present-day
gorgeous, gigantic, glamorous spectacle
attended by the young moderns, while
otTering a greater galaxy of stars and
more acts, doesn’t compare with the
ancient shows. Everybody in those
days closed up shop and attended when
the circus came to town.
"I remember
mother would lock
the house up tight assistant
for fear some of CuowN
the circus hang- , U
ers-on might break
in and lift the
family heirlooms.
We kids would stay
up all night to see .‘j
the sleepy caravan
drive into town. - M
and then the next
day solicit jobs, (\
such as carrying \\ V J “$ *
water for the ele
phants and other
animals. Every ■>.
circus had its J '
’’sharps” who laid
in wait for the
hicks, and “the old army game" sep
arated many a conservative townsman
from his bank roll. I can hear the
blare of the band today as the parade
moved down Main street. The bands
men were a nondescript-looking outfit
dressed in dusty red uniforms in sad
need of repair, but to us the Marine
Band was a fllork of pikers compared
with them. And then when the circus
left town it Seemed as if the bottom of
everything had suddenly dropped out
of the universe. I left with them one
day, as 1 have said, and began my
career as an actor. Later I went from
downing to the so-called legitimate
stage, where I have remained, but if it
hadn't been for that circus I probably
would have inherited my father's
plumbing business. I am not sorry.”

Studio life is mysterious and intrigu
ing to those who are without the pale,
so to speak. The erroneous Impression
persists that artists and writers are a
gay. careless, irresponsible lot who
work only when Inspired. Any sincere
plyer of the brush, pen and typewriter
will tell you that this is the bunk in
chunks. The moving pictures so often
portray the folks of the studios as
carousing, dissipating ne’er-do-wells.
Just the other day a Washington paint
er told the writer that it was a long
time before he could convince his well
meaning friends that his studio was not
a hangout for those who had time to
kill. Artists must be alert today as
much as the business man. and this
means that they must work by the
clock, and woe to the model who ar
rives a minute late. There are excep
tions of course, but you do not find
these exceptions far above the strata of
failures.

MW) not only over

well. Having ar
rived at a certain hotel notable for Its
smartness, he at once proceeded to
become friendly with the guests, not,
it may be added in a crude or vulgar
fashion, for Mr. Me is not that
sort of person. The morning after
his arrival lie sat at a table occunled
by a rather austere gentleman, who
was engaged in consuming eggs and
bacon. "Good morning," said Mr.
Me . affably, as he * sat down.
"Grumph!" was the recognition he re
ceived. A.t lunch Mr. Me occu
pied a table with two strangers. "How
do you do." said the amiable Mr.
Me . Both strangers looked up, but
did not respond to the greeting. In
the evening the dining room was
crow'ded and Mr. Me found a seat
opposite a young gentleman. "Good
evening." said Mr. Me . "’Ning,"
was the abrupt return. Then Mr.
Me decided upon action. The first i
thing he did was to take the bell cap
tain Into his confidence and the fol
lowing scheme was hatched: A long
official-looking envelope was obtained,
on the outside of which was written in
bold letters "Major General Me ."
It. was arranged that on the following
evening a bellhop should go through
the dining room paging Gen. Me .
That night Mr. Me once again
found a table occupied by a man who
greeted him wdth a "Grumph” A
few minutes later a bell hop entered
the room and shouted "Paging Gen.
Me ." Mr. Me paid no atten
tion to the first, call and allowed the
boy to go down one aisle and up an
other shouting, "Paging Gen. Me ."
Os course it attracted the attention
of the guests at the tables, who gazed
(.round to locate the notable. After
assuring himself that every one had
been sufficiently impressed, Mr. Me
motioned to the boy and received the
offleial-looking envelope in a non
chalent manner. The effect was im
mediate and all that could base been
desired. “Gen. Me ” was not only
greeted by every one in the hotel, but
had difficulty "shooing” them away.
Whether or not he was guilty of Im
personating an officer, the incident, to
us at least, is amusing.

Answers.
1. You are Fortune's own child. Sue- !
cess thrusts itself upon you. Charming,
gay, brilliant, you attract a host of ad
mirers. Your tastes are luxurious. You j
spend money freely—but make it as
easily.
2. You are versatile and have great
originality, but are a little lacking in j
self-confidence. Your artistic appre- j
ciation is tinged with somberness. , |
3. You would make an excellent
critic in art or literature, for yoti have
the ability to view art from its commer
cial angle while yet appreciating Its
artistic merit. Also, you are fond of
airing vour opinions.
4. With no lines on the mount, a |
total absence of all artistic sense is j
shown, also a dull, stupid personality, j
Lines completely change this, and
show great brilliancy.
5. Active mentally and physically, j
shrewd, tactful, keen and unerring
judge of human nature, what can you
not accomplish in the business world! j
You have intuition, wit and a great
facility of expression.
6. With such a fine balance between
science, eloquence and art, you should
go far. You are fond of reading nature
books, and dearly love animals and
children.
7. You are slow in your movements,
tiresome in vour speech, and extremely
lazy. Your mentality is considerably
restricted because you make no at
tempt to develop it. All in all, you are
rather a bore.

Facial Exercises.
Now and again an advocate of facial
exercises receives considerable news
paper publicity and then for a time
the subject drops into obscurity. Yet
there is some real value in the Idea
for those who will seek for It; and apply
it with moderation. One of my readers
who has heard some indefinite rumors
about this method of keeping the face
young has asked me to discuss it here,
and I am glad to comply.
The principle upon which facial exer
cises are based is that the muscles of
the face need exercise to stimulate the
flow of blood and tone up the tissues,
just as the body muscles do. Os course,
the facial muscles are exercised to some
extent in the acts of chewing, talking,
laughing or yawning, but this does not
appear to be sufficient to keep the
cheeks smooth and firm. Many women
whose faces have begun to sag and
wrinkle take massage treatments or
use special face packs. Massage is a
passive form of exercise and is more
restful and quieting to the nerves than
facial exercises, but it cannot take the
place of the latter. The alternate
tensing and relaxation of the muscles
that the exercises demand are naturally
more stimulating than massage.
Whether facial exercises will prove
to be beneficial or too drastic in a
given case depends on the individual. ;
In general it seems better to begin
taking these exercises while the face !
is still full and lineless as a preventive
measure against wrinkles. The sort of
skin that has become bßdly wrinkled
: is usually so inelastic that it will hold j
| the creases caused by the facial exer
: cise. For this type of face a vibratory i
or gentle patting massage is best. i
Facial exercises are extremely simple
Before beginning them apply a film of
| cold cream over the skin to make it j
; fiexible and to minimize the possibility
iof the formation of w'rinkles. Begin by

Now purse your lips and twist them
first to the right and then to the left
six times, stretching the cheek muscles
well and keeping the mouth closed.
The childhood pastime of blowing *
soap bubbles is another good exercise
for the lips and cheeks. Blow them
slowly and make a dozen or more large
ones. A similar exercise is blowing out
a candle. See if you can blow It out
