PLEATS ARE IMPORTANT FASHION DETAILS

Pleats are important in the fashion scheme of things this year. Daytime skirts have kick pleats in iron-t and back. Many are accor- dlan pleated. all the way down with the pleats stitched down about tne hipline. Evening gowns are pleated from top to bottom in the Grecian manner.

BANANA HAM SANDWICH

Bananas are good in the minced ham sandwiches for the children's school lunch. Spread the sandwich bread with butter, tnen minced ham and finally add a layer of sliced banands.

Well Marked

It is well to keep all kitchen jars and bottles labeled. Then in case of sickness a stranger in the kitchen can find things readily and confusion and searching are avoid- ed.

0n Wash Day

Try cooking a cup of rice in 1 gallon of water for 30 minutes. Drain and use this water for starch. You not only have a. aplen- did weshday starch, but a sub- stantial luncheon vegetable.

In the Lunch Box

One housewife who packs her husbands and ‘ " 1s lunches makes her pies in the form of little tarts, using her ramekins as molds for the pastry. Then the next day each lunch kit contains one of these delicious dainties.

YOUR DAUGHTER

The mother who wants her small daughter to grow up to be a dec- orative notc about the house ought to do all she possibly can to keep the youngsters hair healthy and to teach the fundamental principles of perfect grooming during the childs formative years.

let your little girl learn to enjoy her daily bath even if you have to shop around for doll soap, wash cloths that look like animals and sponges in queer shapes to float in the tub with her.

Try to keep her interested in brushing her teeth and cleaning her nails. There's no reason why this should make herpriggishabout playing in the dirt or climbing trees. It only will teach her to like to be spic and span once play days are over.

Until ahe is old enough to do it, you'll have to brush her hair for her. Us, long upward strokes, wip- ing the brush on a clean towel after each stroke. Shampoo her locks with the blandest soap you can buy and rinse it at least three times in clear water. If her hair hes even a slight wave, coax it into place several times a. day. This seems pretty much of a bother, but sometimes faint waves turn into lovely deep ones, and, if hers should happen to do this, think how grateful she'll be to you the rest of her life.

If her skin is sensitive, beter put a tiny bit of plain vaseline or pure cold cream on her Cheeks and fore- head before you send her out to play in the snow. When little hands get chapped rub them with vasellnp before she does to ltd. As e. matter of fact, it's a good idea to teach her to use a drop or two of your hand lotion several times a day.

Hit PAINTS.TOY SOLQIERS

It has been recorded of some old generals of the past that they de- lighted in fighting their battles over again with the aid of toy soldiers, writes a correspondent in the Iflndon Daily Mail.

Today the collecting of toy soldiers is a favorite hobby on the continent. aria ifs popularity m England has glow so much irhat it has been found ne y u; e5tgb~ lish the British Society of Collec- tors of Model Soldiers.

Although this body has been-in existence only a few months its membership already includes many enthusiasts abroad.

. Wife Helps

Appropriately enough, a soldier has just become patron of the so- ciety. He is Lord Greenway, for- merly in the Indian cavalry, who succeeded to the title on the death of his father, one of the founders of the Anglo-Persian Oil company last year.

Lord Greenway is a collector and no ordinary one. At his home at Ikienbridge, Kent, thene is a collection of models of the Indian

He is not content merely to buy his models: he obtains the lead figures he requires and t/hen “re-

TWO DAYS MISSING

Two Irlshrnen roomed in an eight. story apartment, on the top floor, and could not sleep on Sunday morning as the sun would shine m the windows and wake them up. They bought some black paint and painted the windows, and lay down to sleep. When they woke up, they realized they would be late for work, as it was 7.15. They rushed t0 their iobfl. and the foreman look- ed at them in bewilderment. Pat says: “filth. 811d What's the matter. 0°55?

Lady Greenway told me:

“lord Greeuways idea is to have models of all the Indian cavalry brigades as they were before the war.

"He has been building up his collection for some years, but he is I- Wfy busy man and is not able to give as much time to it as he would like to do. Iflhelp him with the Painting when I can.‘ '

Mr. Walter Lockwood, secretary of the society, has a collectoin of “early 7.000 pieces. This battle array incl ‘ figures representing every British regiment, and is complete with tanks. airplanes, and 1mg Cross equipment.

“Men iirwidely different walks of life are collectors in this coun- tly." he fold me.

"There are. mists. writers, schoolmasicrs, merchants, tailors, and clerks.

"We have no women members of the society. Women are not de. barred from membership, but; m]. lecting model soldiers seems to be peculiarly a man's hobby. And a very fascinating one it is. too. I myself have fought many of the greatset battles in history with my collection." _

Feather in Her Hat

B! JULIE ANNE MOORE

Cowed by the belligerent attitude of the two plainclothes men, the liotel clerk admitted readily that Senator Runhrccker and a Carl Balmer had been registered there. They had checked out. he said, shortly after breakfast.

The doorman remembered the two gentlemen perfectly . _ , an oldish man, raincr distinguished looking; and a powerfully built you"! man who was a bit unsteady on his feet and smelled strongly of liquor. They had gone 9g 1n a Black and Yellow cab. Yes, he could identify the driven-Name was Tony. Nice yolms fellow . . .

“Sure I remember where I took 'em." said Tony Fachetti at the taxicab office. "I took ‘em to Bgywyn fleld- The young es: give me a two- buck tip. He was plastered. I-ie was talking his head off."

“What time did you leavc Berwyn field after taking them there?"

“Three or four hours ago. I guess. Right around half past nine . . ."

A few minutes later a police cruis- cr darted away from the curb in front of the taxicab office, and went oil’ with siren shrieking.

It could not have been later than

a quarter after ten when Lee drop- ped down onto Berwyn field. "I don't know what is the matte; with Carl," Senator Runbrecker told Lee. "Unless the strain he went through with the kidnappers got the best of his nerves. He was all right until about two o'clock this morn- ing whcn I woke up and found he had been out and brought up a sup- ply of whisky. He has been drinking ever since. And—" said the Senator, irritably “-—talkixig. He's complete- ly out of his senses-so pay no nt- tentlon to anything he says."

"What's he talking about, Senn- tor?" They were walking to the field office then.

"Deaneb and Puhrmanb deaths. principally," senator Runbreckcr said. "You need not be surprised if he accuses you of the murder- l-le

has already charged that I rtlllfid my own son."

L‘: shook his head. ‘Too bad. We... we'll load him in and get started. Is Sehna with him?"

The Senator said sadly that his daughter was not with them. "They told Carl we would find her at home when we returned. I don't know, Lee. I've a fee1ing—" ,

The door of the little office burst open and Carl stumbled- out. "Well. if it_—-Lee, old boy, old boy, how goes-Good old Lee and where—-" “Go along with the Senator, Carl, while I get-your luggage," Lee said. "I'd like to get off before a crowd gathers."

with the aid of the field person- nel they got Cari inside the cabin and settled in a seat. Three mindles later they were in the air-Washing- ton bound.

It was almost three o'clock wnen the Chicago police cruiser screamed its way up to the Berwyn field hangar. A mechanic gave the detec- tives the information they wanted, then one of them went info the of- flce to telephone. Presently be came out and led the way back to the car. "That cleans it up for us," be said to his companion. "They're ad- vising Washington the plane's due there any time . . . Too bad we didn't get the tip 0d sooner.
