Oooh!
A tourist, on his way to Europe,
was experiencing seasickness for
the first time. Calling his wife to
his bedside, he said in a weak voice:
“Jennie, my will is in the Florida
National bank. Everything is left
to you, dear. My various stocks
you will find in my safe-deposit box."
Then he said, fervently: ‘And Jen-
nie, bury me on the other side. 1
can’t stand this trip again, alive or
dead.” Tale Spins.

Christmas Confections
We can scarcely speak of the
| holiday diet, particularly where
| children are concerned, without
saying a word about Christmas
{| confections and other goodies.
| These are a part of the holiday
| tradition. No homemaker would
and easily, in fact, that you
can finish it for a gift in time for
Christmas-—and you'll certainly
want to make it for yourself. The
house frock is a diagram design
that you can finish in a few hours.
It's a mighty nice thing to be
wearing when people run in un-
expectedly, as they're sure to be
doing, frequently, during the holi-
day season. You can feel right in
it, and work comfortably, all day
long.
The Undies Set.
Slip, panties and brassiere are
all included in this one simple de-
sign that even the inexperienced
can make with no difficulty. Make
it up in fine quality materials—
satin, crepe de Chine or flat crepe
—and ‘you'll save money not only
in the first place, but in the long
run, because the undies will wear
| and wash so long and so well
The slip has a beautifully fitted
line over which your doll-waisted
clothes will look their best. The
| brassiere provides support and up-
lift that you need for a definite
bustline, and the panties are un-
usually smooth-hipped, because
they fasten with a zipper.
The House Dress.
This full-skirted frock is such a
pretty thing that you'll be wise
to make it up in flannel or challis
for shopping as well as in calico,
gingham and percale for around
the house. The bodice has darts
just above the waist to create be-
coming fullness over the bust, the
shoulders, and the neckline, out-
lined with a double row of braid
or ribbon, is extremely flattering.
| This is one of the most satisfac-
| tory house dresses that anyone in
{ the 12 to 20 size range can posSi-
| bly choose!
The Patterns.
No. 1640 is designed for sizes 14,
16, 18, 20, 40, 42, 44 and 46. Size
16 requires, for the slip 2% yards
of 38-inch material; for the pant-
ies, 1% yards; for the brassiere,
1, yard.
No. 1650 is designed for sizes 12,
14, 16, 18 and 20. Size 14 requires
4% yards of 35-inch material; 11
yards of ribbon or braid to trim.

Similarly, she should make it

{ from ingredients which she knows
| to be pure and wholesome, or to
purchase them from a reliable
source. If these goodies are then
given to children at the end of a
well-balanced meal, and not indis-
criminately between meals, there
should not be the upset digestions
that make Christmas a bugbear
to some mothers instead of the
joyous occasion it should be.
By following out these sugges-

enjoy the holidays without regret.
