For the Thin Woman |
“The thin woman 1b usually nervous
»nd active, and nips her budding
pounds before they have time to add
the faintest suggestion of a curve to
gt her figure. It is as important for her
*' to learn to restrain her activity, to
put. as it were, a brake on her move
ments, and to observe stated periods
of relaxation, as it is for Madam
Embonpoint to exercise her fat away.
. If only they could change pre
. ecriptions, what joy there would be!
F<5t the woman who weighs too much
Is prone to welcome an easy-chalr
and a lounging-robe with ecstacy,
while the bony maid considers ten
minutes of open-eyed repose an In
genious form of torture. Yet there
can be no swapping of horses in
crossing this stream.
The thin little maid who really
wants to add pounds of plumpness
must register a solemn vow that she
will observe a ten-minute "period of
rest" at least twice a day. Neither is
this to be any ordinary rest, says
The blether’s Magazine. Every bind
ing article of clothing is to he re
moved and, with the body clad in
nothing more than a loose lounglng
* robe, she is to sink back in a chair,
and let the energy actually ooze from
every inch of her body. This is not
eo simple as it sounds. First the
fingers should be made limp, then
the wrists should relax as if they
were dead weights; next the arms,
then feet, ankles, legs. Next the head
should be allowed to drop heavily,
to the side front, other side, and
finally, the wole body, should be made
as limp as the proverbial dish rag.
{Having attained this enviable con
dition, close the eyes, making the lids
"heavy, and rest quietly, without
movement and with as little mental
activity as possible. Ten minutes,
morning and night, of this deliberate
relaxation will lessen the body ten
aion, and therefore reduce the waste
of energy.
A Good Fit
Please wear your new corsets when
you are going to be fitted for a dress
or costume; and your new shoes,
too, If they happen to have high
heels.
You can hardly realize how much
difference these things make to the
fit of a costume. And, unless you
make It possible for your tailor to al
low for the difference, you are not
giving him a fair chance to do this
, work well. , , .
A skirt which is quite the right
length when it hangs over flat boots
looks ridiculously short when the
wearer gets into a pair of high-heeled
French shoes, which raise her up a
full inch.
New corsets often make a differ
ence of as much as two or three
Inches to the hip or waist measure
ment. And, if they are a different
, eh ape from those which were worn
before, they may change the best
kfneasurement. too.
\, So, if you neglect to wear them at
your "trying-on," please don't blame
the tailor afterwards for the bad lit
of your costume.—Exchange.

Bloomers for Girls
Little boys are not the only ones
who can revel In bloomers. Now the
small girls can enjoy their play to
the utmost with no hampering petti
coats, and with their dresses so short
that the bloomers peep out below.
It is a delight to them as well as to
the mother, who knows very well the
' difference in the laundering, for this
t sensible custom does away with petti
coat and drawers. The bloomers are
made of the same materials as the
dress, and take the place of under
wear.
;ktie Rug
A beautiful braided rug can be made
of discarded neckties. Put two bright
ties and a dark one together, and so
on. If you have r small square of
• any bright green o,' red carpet a foot
square put into cen\te and sew braids
around. You can make it just as
large as you wish.# Very pretty in

Healthy Exercise
Among the many habits of health
ful exercise and care there is none
that brings greater satisfaction than
that which keepe the body well nour
ished and in normal weight.
It may seem foreign to connect ex
ercise with nourishment, yet it is a
fact that much of the food we eat is
never assimilated simply because we
do not exercise so as to keep the di
gestive organs functioning normally.
The lack of exercise also allows some
tissues to store up an abnormal
amount of fat.
Both conditions are most annoying,
not only because they bring physical
discomfort, but because they mar
one's appearance and are regarded as
signs of age.
TIME STORIES —
BY ADELINE CARRICK WELL#
(Copyright. Newark Daily Ad vertiaer Publishing Company.)
(Continued from Yesterday.)
It was a stormy day at Ideal-by
the-Sea, and Dorothy Dear was tell
ing her brother Davie a story while
they waited for the rain to cease.
The story was about a little girl
named Eleanor, who walked in her
sleep whenever she ate two pieces of
pie or had two helpings of pudding.
Eleanor had a sister Gertrude, who
used to follow her when she walked
in her sleep.
"She saved her life nearly every
night." Dorothy told Davie, bobbing
her golden head by way of emphasis,
"’cause Eleanor would walk out of
the window or over the roof or—or
anywhere. She didn’t know it,
though, you know, ’cause she was
asleep.”
“Jeeminy!” Davie’s eyes grew
very big. He sat up on the rug and
hugged his knees close to his chin,
wondering what Dorothy would tell
next.
Dorothy wondered, too. Sometimes
she found It hard to make her stor
ies exciting enough to satisfy Davie.
“One night,” she said slowly.
"Eleanor’s mother had company and
they had huckleberry pie for des
sert. It was very nice pie, just full
of berries and juice, and the crust
was as light as snowflakes. And—’’
"You-yum,” said Davie, "I wish I
had some.”
"Don’t int'rupt,” cried Dorothy
with a dark frown. “Well, Eleanor
begged fbr a piece, but her mother
said that pie wasn’t good for little
girls at night.
" Just a little piece,’ coaxed El
eanor, anij the company said, 'give
her some!' A little piece won’t hurt
her.’
"Eleanor’s mother didn't like this.
She didn’t like people to Interfere
with the way she brought up her
children." This <fhntence was
quoted Jrom mother Dear, and Dor
othy spoke it with mother Dear’s
very air, lifting her eyebrows and
lowering her voice.
“But she didn't want to make a
fuss in front of company, so she
Just said, ‘very well, Eleanor. You
may have a small piece.’
“And, then, what do you think
that wicked Eleanor did?”
Dorothy paused; impressively, her
eyes on Davie, who replied;
"Did she choke?"
Dorothy flounced Impatiently.
“I knew you wouldn't guess. No,‘
sir, she didn’t choke; but she did go
on tiptoe to the pantry after dinner,
while her mother and the company
w'ere on the front porch talking.
And when the cook went into the

dining-room to bring out the dishes,
Eleanor snatched another piece of
Pie, a big piece, and ran out on the
back porch and down the steps
with it.
“Eleanor ran across the yard to
the wild cherry tree that was down
by the fence. She sat on the ground
behind the tree, where nobody could
see her from the house. And then
she ate every bit of the pie. even
picking up the crumbs that fell in
her lap. Wasn't she naughty?’’
Davie grinned.
"Well, I guess she liked the pie,
anyway,” said he, “what happened
then?”
"After all of the pie was gone
Eleanor tiptoed around the house to
the front porch, where her mother
was still sitting with the company.
And she eat there and talked until
her mother told her to go to bed.”
‘Didn’t she say she took the pie?”
“No, sir; she didn't mention it,
and when she went to bed she
kissed her mother and the com
pany good night so sweetly that
the company said, ’isn’t she a love
ly child?’ ” Dorothy continued im
pressively. “It’s a good thing it
was dark on the porch, ’cause Elea
nor felt ashamed and turned very
red, but she didn’t tell about the
pie even then. She just ran up to
bed.”
“When are you going to get to
that part about walking in her
sleep?” demanded Davie, unclasp
ing his hand from his knees and
stretching his fat legs straight out
before him. "I don't care whether
El'ner was ’shamed or not. I want
to hear what happened next."
Dorothy slid from the big willow
chair and stretched herself on the
rug beside her brother. The light
from the grate fire danced over
them, making Dorothy think of an
other pretend story, about a vol
cano. “I’ll teU it when Mary 'Llz
beth comes,” she promised herself,
dreamily.
“What happened next?” came
Davie's voice again. “Are you
going to sleep. Dorothy Dear?"
“O’ course not. I was just think
ing of a new story.” *
"And you haven’t finished this
one. That’s just like you." Crossly,
Davie started to get up.
Dorothy pulled his sleeve. “Im
going to finish It right now,” she
promised.
“Eleanor undressed and jumped
into bed. She didn’t say her pray
ers. ’cause she felt too guilty and
didn't want to tell Godlhbout tak
ing the pie, although she knew He
knew it all the time.
“She didn't feel very well, but
after a long time she fell asleep.
And then what do you think hap
pened?”
“Tell it, tell it,” cried Davie.

The Jersey Basque
Some of the basques being displayed
in the shops recall the Jerseys of
thirty and more years ago.
Like those of the past, the Jersey
basque extends well down* over the
hips and buttons straight up the front
with self-covered buttons.
There are many household articles
that In the long run are economies in
summer time. The newest paper
towels are among these. After their
advent it was to be expected that pa
per toweling would improve if it
proved at all acceptable, and it cer
tainly did. The latest is not like any
paper towel you ever saw, it is more
like a cloth.
It stands a great amount of rubbing,
and it will not melt on the wet hand.
It is both absorbent and durable and
leaves no lint even after much fric
tion. No rags or old newspapers are
used in its manufacture. Used in the
home, they gave laundry bills, and
they have other uses, for none but an
unruly housekeeper will wrap Ice in a
newspaper, and they are useful here.
Salad sets and ice cream sets,
spoons and all, now come in trans
, parent glazed paper envelopes not
j more than 5x7 inches in size. They
' are perfectly antiseptic, and so very
i inexpensive that they can be thrown
| away after use without causing one
I to feel a pang. They are Just the
| thing for picnics.
In addition to the table covers and
| napkins, entire picnic tableware
| (mostly of paper fillers, etc.), can be
i had at little coat. They can be used
I on the home table Just as well for •
i hurried picnic meal occasionally, when
j one is packing up to go on a vacation,
. or hurrying to get off in timfc to hear
j an evening concert at an amusement
; park. After the meal they can be
■ burnt up in a Jiffy.
Kitchen Lore
ill
----
To enjoy mashed potatoes at their
best, add a little baking powder Just
before serving, the proportion being
half a teaspoonful if six people are
to be served.
This makes them so deliciously
white and light that you will never
again serve them without it.
To spread hard butter easily, beat
it to a cream instead of warming it,
for in this way it gives it a better
flavor and prevents any useless
waste.
For a delicious claret punch use one
quart of cold water, one-half cup
raisins, two cups sugar, a two-inch
piece stick cinnamon, few shavings
of lemon rind, one and one-half cups
orange juice, one-half cup lemon
juice, one pint claret wine.
Put raisins in cold water, bring
slowly to a boiling point and boil
twenty minutes. Strain, add sugar,
cinnamon, lemon rind, and boil five
minutes. Add fruit juice, cool, strain,
pour in claret and dilute with ice
water.
The Fashionable Collar
Nothing so comfortable has been
thought of In a long time as the flar
ing roll-over lingerie collar. Almost
anyone can wear a V-shaped low'
neck. It Is the one kind of low neck
which older peole, as well as young
girls, may safely effect. If the collar
Is a proper cut, nothing can be more
comfortable.
A collar and vest of organdie, beau
tifully embroidered. Is sufficient
trimming for any gown, and the
effect is that of a charming freshness
and daintiness. The newer organdie
has all the crispness of the o'd book
muslin, and retains it after launder
ing. __
(HOUSEKEEPERS EXCHANGE
_BY MARGERY DOON_
My Dear Miss Doon:
Being a stranger in Newark, I
have found your paper great
friend and can find no words of
thanks to you.
Inclosed you will find a few re
cipes for ice cream and frozen
dainties, as you asked for same
| recently. I'll try to show my thanks
by sending some. I was a demon
strator for a freezer before I was
married and can safely say these
| are good. DOVER OF COOKING.
Caromel Ice Cream
One-half pound brown sugar, one
glass water, one quart rich cream,
vanilla flavoring This will make
about two quarts. Dissolve half
pound brown sugar in one glass ot

and flavor wish 'vanilla. Freeze
hard. Pounded nuts added to this
make a great improvement.
Frozen Plum Pudding
Put one quart of milk and a cup
of raisins in farina boiler; cook for
one-quarter of an hour; beat the
yolks of four eggs and one-half
pound of sugar together; add them
to hot milk; when cold mix one cup
of chopped citron, one cup blanched
almonds cut fine; some conserve
ginger and one tablespoon of va
nilla. Put this in a mould and
freeze hard. Will make about two
quarts.
Cafe Parfait
Whip one pint cream, add one
kitchen cup of sugar and one-half
pint strong coffee, gradually; then
wet a mold in cold water and fill
with the above mixture; now pack
mould in salt and ice. which you
have already prepared: let stand
one-half hour, if made in cold

pulp; be careful not to lose the juice.
Sweeten to taste; add cup of sherry
or maraschino; freeze in mould or
serve in orange shells with whipped
cream on top.
Pretty Way to Serve Grape

Scoop out the centre and fill with
crushed ice with creme de menthe
poured over it, which makes it look
green. Serve on beds of mint or
smilax and put a bunch of grapes
on each plate.
To Serve Mayonnaise
Make a bowl of mayonnaise, then
put it in a mold (of some pretty
shape), freeze hard. Turn out on
glass dish and serve with salad.
Iced Jelly
Make calfs-foot jelly, not very
stiff, and freeze it. Serve in glasses.
This is delicious.
Fruit Granites
Granites are water ices, only they
are half frozen without stirring and
have a rough, icy texture and often
contain small portions of fruit as
well as juice.
Boil one pint of water with two
cups of sugar five minutes, cool and
add juice of two lemons, one or
ange and juice from one cup of
mashed strawberries. Freeze as
usual and w'hen partly frozen stir
in one cup of bits of fruit, bananas,
apricots and peaches, or any other
combination desired.
Let it stand until the texture is
as firm as you wish.

Victor Dare, the Boy
Detective
_
It was a cold December evening; the
streets seemed to be deserted. In one
of these streets a boy, apparently
fifteen years of age, was seen thought
fully walking. -,Tralling In the foot
steps of his master" came a powerful
looking bulldog. The ground was cov
ered with a layer of spotless white
snow, and singing could be heard
through ail the windows, for it was
Christmas Eve.
Victor Dare, for this was the boy's
name, looked at one of the houses and
saw the number “123" written on the
door. When he saw this number he
1 ran across the street and sat down
on a stoop opposite the house that
interested him so much. He sat si
lently for a few minutes and took out
a watch from his pocket and looked at
it. “Ten o’clock," he muttered to
himself; "now is the time." Sud
denly he noticed his dog. Bin. begin
to prance around. Victor, who was
acquainted with Bin’s manners, knew
