Scarf With Matching Yegtee
BY MARY MARSHALL.
DRESSES this Spring are so
simple, so lacking in exaggera
tion, writes a Wrench corre
spondent, that we can wear all
sorts of interesting scarfs and
jollars without making them too compli
cated. In fact, many of the late Spring
•nd Summer dresses really need this
*
Beck treatment to give them distinction
All this by way of comment on the
new scarf with matching vestee ar- j
nangement shown in the sketch. The
original from which the sketch was
made was of Paris origin, but it is an
idea that you can easily carry out at
home. The original neckline needs to
be cut down quite low with sides turned
beck to make revers. Two straight
pieces of material of contrasting fcolof
are then arranged to form a crossing
vestee beneath this deep opening and a
strip of the same contrasting material i
ia draped around the neck and tied in
a knot with flaring ends low at the
front.
All this might be done from a yard
of silk, satin or rather substantial silk ;
crepe. You will need somewhat more
than a yard for the long scarf, but j
this may be pieced at the back. It
should be about nine inches wide. From ,
the silk that remains after the scarf ]
has been cut you will have enough left
to make the two vestee pieces.
The dress shown here was of beige
silk crepe with small green polka dots
with a scarf and vestee of green. For
a Summer dress you might choose
white with red dots with scarf and
vestee of blue.
My Neighbor Says:
Try adding a little lemon juice
to your pineapple and prune pies.
It greatly improves the flavor.
Never throw away bones left
from a roast or shoulder. Put
them on in cold water, and if
cooked several hours a very good
soup may be obtained with the
addition of diced vegetables.
Good croquettes are insured by
making them long enough ahead
for them to set before frying.
Make them early in the morning
if wanted for the evening meal,
or the afternoon before if you
wrant them for luncheon.

Coiffure for long Nose.
DEAR Miss Leeds: <1> My hair
Is brown and naturally wavy,
end I have a rather long lace.
Will vou please suggest a coif
fure for me? (2) I have small
tIt pies and blackheads on my face.
How can I cure them? KATIE.
Answer.—(1) A center part will be
becoming if your features are regular.
Finger-wave your hair in a dip over
each temple. If your hair Is bobbed, |
finish it with two rolls over the ears.
If it is long, have a wide wave over each
ear. with the lobes showing beneath.
The back hair may be made Into a
cluster of curls or two rolls, one above
the other. . ^.
12) The use of plenty of soap ana
warm water every night at bedtime will
usually clear up blemishes of this sort.
First use cleansing cream and then
massage the soap lather into your skin,
rinse and lather again, then wash off
every trace of soap with clean, warm j
water. Bathe the face in cold water |
and dry. Here is a lotion that may be
catted on your skin after the cleansing !
Mix four ounces of rose-water with |
oiin-half ounce sulphate of zinc and j
mix six ounces of rose-water with one- |
half ounce sulphuretted potash. Put t
the two solutions together. Shake be- I
fore using. In the morning wash your
face with cold water, dry and use the
lotion again. Be sure to avoid consti
pation. Take exercise outdoors every j
dav and do setting-up exercises in your
room daily. LOIS LEEDS.
Care of Permanent Wave.
Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me just i
what you mean when you advise giving
the hair "proper care" after a perma
nent wave? MOLiLIE.
Answer.—So many girls think that
after a permanent wave the hair heeds
no care As a n-.atter of fact, it should |
have more care than before. A hot oil
treatment should precede the shampoo. |
Tiie scalp should be massaged daily and !
the hair brushed. A hair oil should be j
rubbed into the ends every day. espe- j
daily if they have been waved before.
I have a leaflet describing the care of .
permanently waved hair in detail, and |
I shall be glad to mail it to any reader
who sends a request for it. accompanied

ioaD. Is cold water more drying than
nartn’’ How can I improve my skin?
BABE. ]
Answer —Your weight is good. I sus
iect that the condition of your skin is
lue to the lack of thoroughness in
washing off the soap. It is hard to
inf? well in cold water, so use warm
Hater. The soap will lather better and
Hill be easier to remove. Particles of
^oap left on the skin will make It dry
and blotchy. After rinsing with warm I
water, bathe your face in cold water
and blot It dry very carefully. Careless
ness In drying the skin tends to make It
dry and rough.
The pimples may be due to ycrur diet
Eat more fresh fruits, salads and green
vegetables. Take meat and potatoes
Dnly once a day. Drink plenty of water
between meals. Be outdoors in the
fresh air at least two hours a day.
Mild sunburn is good for pimples.

FIND ALL-BRAN HAS :
TWICE THE USABLE '
IRON IN LIVER
I
Also . Furnishes “Bulk” and
Vitamin B to Overcoma
Common Constipation
Liver is known as a good source
of iron for the blood. Now, new
tests show Kellogg's ALL-BRAN con
tains twice as much blood-building
iron as an equal amount by weight
of beef liver.
But more important still, labora
tory experiments show ALL-BRAN j
provides "bulk" to exercise the in-1 I
testines, and Vitamin B to tone the
intestinal tract.
This means Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
is a fine way to overcome constipa
tion—with the headaches, loss of
appetite and energy that so fre- )
quently result.
The “bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much :
like that of lettuce. Inside the body,
it absorbs moisture, forming a soit I |
mass, which gently clears the in
testines of wastes Special cooking |
processes make ALL-BRAN finer,
milder, more palatable.
How much better than risking
pills and drugs—so often habit
forming. Just eat two tablespoon
fuls of ALL-BRAN daily for most
types of constitpation. It is not
habit-forming. If your Intestinal
trouble is not relieved this way, see
your doctor.

_
Some people call It, Incorrectly,
“old man's beard.” But the real name
Is fringe bush, and I defy anybody to
find a lovelier flowering tree, unless it
is the dogwood. With its very long,
aristocratic, drooping petals, which
come in the odd number of four; its
handsome blue fruits, its dark,
tropical-looking leaves, it is the gem of
its family, if we count only the native
species of the olive family.
Of course, this is also lilac time and
(if you care anything for privet flow
ers i, there is privet, also of the olive
family.
Every land believes it has some spe
cial claim upor, the lilac. The English
think them ultra-English; the French
almost claim to have invented the lilac,
and with some justice, since they have
done marvelous breeding work in the
house of Vilmorin. near Paris. Ger
mans are lilac fanciers; yet no Middle
Western farm would be itself without
the lilars. Even in the city, lilacs are
beautiful. They withstand the poison
ous fumes of city chimneys, the relent
less attacks of the neighbors' children,
and many insect and fungus pests. Anri
still, in spite of the endless repetition
of them in everybody's garden, we are
never tired of them. Plants that can so
work themselves into the aflectiohs are
deserving of all the praise they get.
If we have no native lilacs, however,
there remains always the fringe bush—
so beautiful when covered over with a
mass of blossoms that, to come on It
in the woods is to see something that
even seeing scarcely seems to justify
believing. I venture to call it even
more beautiful than lilacs, though not
so sweet of smell, and. cf course, it. too.

One of th.* Earliest Prints of Mt. Vernon
According to Washington’* Diary he experi
mented in testing seed grain. It is recorded under
date of November 30, 1785, when he was
"On the Wheat which was . . . from the Cape of Good
Hope ... I determined to try an experiment, and accordingly
on throo Rows ... I cut it within 4 inches of th* ground."
He writes again April 10, 1786, that he
"Began also to sow the Siberian Wheat ... in the ground
laid apart for these experiments."
And another time he
“Began to Sow . . . wheat steep'd in Brine and ailum.” This
was to check the rust. He also experimented with methods to
check the “bugs" and the Hessian fly. Fertilization had his
attention early. He mixed his “composts” April 14, 1760, in
a box with ten apartments, in which he put soil, sand, marie,
mould, clay and manure of various kinds, in recorded mixture,
and planted in each division three grains of wheat and as many
of oats and barley, “all at equal distances in Rows, and of
equal depth (done by a machine made for the purpose)." Two
weeks later he records the result. He had great faith in river
mud as a fertilizer, but nature not being kind enough to dis
tribute it as in the case of the Nile, he found an unsurmeunt
able difficulty in getting it from the bed of the river te the lead.
