To tha Vdilor 0 ll'omnii's raizr:
Dcur Madam Cun jou suggest to me a way
of lengthening a pale flesh-colored georgette crepe
dres which has shrunken so that It Is row ten
or eleten Inches from the I'.oorJ I want It nt
least two nr three Inches longer. If Is shirred
nt the waist. EDITH a.
A frock such as you descrllio could bo
lengthened very successfully. It beems t. me,
by n two or three Inch band of tiullllnf; of
georgette. If you can secure It to match, or
If not, silk could bo used. This would be
prettier than a straight band and would not
glvo no much tho appearance of a "madQ

Hair Turning White
To the r.dltor of l.'omoVs Page!
Dear Mndam I am past fifty, but up until
now my hslr has been brown. Now It Is
streaked with gray and la very ugly. Is there
anything I c.n do to keep It from turning with
out ilielng It? If It must turn, I would rulhcr
havo It all white than this way. L. 1.
Thero Is nothing you tan do to Keep your
lialr from turning white, whort of dyeing It,
niul I would strongly advise you not to do
this. I would not bo distressed If I were
you, for gray hair roftens and refines tha
face, and 'l.i Invariably becoming. If you
want It to turn white be careful In shampoo
ing to rinse It very thoroughly, us-lng a little
bluing In the last rinse water. Do not nib
soap on it, but use a pure white soap made
Into a liquid.
Desires to Reduce
To the Editor of Woman's Pane:
Dear Madam I feel as though T am taking on
flesh too rapidly. Will you kindly publish
through your column some hnrmless recipe to
reduce my weight? KI.IZABKXH M.
The surest way to reduce Is to regulate
tho diet carefully. Omit starchy foods,
sweets, butter, pastries and other fat-producing
foods, drink no water with tho nicnls
and take plenty of exercise. It Is also
claimed that dissolving Upsom salts In the
bath water will reduce.
Parents Too Strict
To the P.ditor of TVomnn'j rant:
Dear Madam I am a beautiful young girl ot
seventeen summers. Although I am ery popu
lnr with thn boys. I am never allowed to sea
them when my parents know It. do you think
there Is uny harm In seeing them outside, when
they are so strict with me I LILLIAN.
Although your parents may seem rather
severe, they know best, and until you ore a
llttlo older and wiser you should submit to
their wishes. Perhaps In time you can per
suade them to allow you to have young men
call, but until you can do so It Is wrong of
yem to meet these boys outside.
Bread and Butler Plates
To the Editor of Woman's Pacre;
Dear Madam Which side of the dinner plate
Is the bread-and-butter plate placed? Are small
pickles, olives and cut cheese taken up with the.
fingers?
1 can never tell you how much I enjoy your
paper, and the Woman's Fage Is always put
uway until I have time to go over It carefully.
MARY A. If.
The bread-and-butter plate Is placed at
the upper left side of the dinner plate.
Olives are eaten with the Angers. Pickles
should be served with a fork and are eaten
with a fork with the meat course. Cheese
Is usually placed on the cracker with which
It Is eaten with a small allver knife or
bread-and-butter knife. It Is not taken up
In the fingers.

Dear Madam I received an Invitation to a
howsr for a future bride. I find I shall bs

XXI Tho Invitation
IT yAS dark and early when I got up
yesterday morning. So Itowdy and I sat
on the steps and wo saw tho lights of the
first car that went by two blocks away.
Hoon the stars were all taken In by whoever
docs It and tho wind had gono homo and
only tho milkman slambanglng down the
street. '
Pretty coon It begnn to bo time for tho
men to go to work mid then It got lighter
and my father enmo home from watching
and wo kissed and I sat on his kneo when
tho pancakes wcro fried, and wo ate break
fast together, I told my fathor nhout going
Bwlmmlng nnd ho got very much excited
and asked me how deep It was and how
wldo the river was and I told him.
Then Howdy and I rambled and wo went
up to Old Maid Tompklns'a becauao I hadn't
had any of her tarts for a long time nnd I
wnB nfrald sho might think I didn't like
them and I do, and I told her so as soon as
"sho had Raid, "Good morning " Sha said, "I
am much rellecd and will mako somo for
dinner as soon ns I get thin waist done that
I am bcwlng. I think you will llko them,
for I have got somo now Jam."
Whllo I was eating tho last tart sho said,
"I havo been thinking. You havo vlsitod mo
a number of times and you havo never In
vited mo to visit you nnd what do you think
about that?" I said, "Nothing," Then sho
nald, "It Is wrong for mo to recclvo calls
and not return them " I said, "I am glad It
Isn't thnt way with tnrtu " Sho laughed and
said, "Now, llRten When your father has
gono to work tonight I am going to come
and call on you and 'ou must entertain mo."
1 said, "That Mill bo bully gciod fun," but I
didn't mean to do it
I went away to co a picture show, but
thoro weren't any good ones, so I saved my
dlmo and Just rambled and looked Into the
Ftoro windows nt the now dresses nnd hatn.
Then 1 went on to a big bridge and stood
and watched the trains go by underneath
the bridge and tho boats on tho river and I
thought that snmo tlmo 1 might hldu on a
boat and go to the land whero tho peoplo
make spaghetti and seo how they hold It
still whllo they boro tho holes In It. Making
thoso holes always has seemed funny to mo.
On my way homo I wnn running down tho
mlddto of tho street with Itowdy right be
hind 1110 nnd with my hair blowing when I
heard Mm. Carpenter, sitting on her poich,
say to Homo one, "There goes that bare
legged llttlo savago I hao been telling you
about. I should think her mother would
turn over In her grave She needs a good
spanking, running about at all hours of tho
nlgtt. I looked out of my window past 1
o'clock tho other night and saw her and her
awful dog going by." 1 stopped and said,
"Ho Is not an awful dog!" Then I mndo a
fnco nt her.
When I kneeled down and Itowdy sat up
with his paws on tho bed beside mo I n.ild,
"Thank you, Ood, for tho nlco things you
do for mo. If you can hae something th.tt
Isn't wry bad happen to Mrs. Carpenter I
shall appreclato It Glvo my lovo to my
mother and to my father and you needn't
bother nhout making mo a good girl any
more, for I think that Is asking moro than
you llnd it easy to do. Nobody seems to llko
mo and yet I don't think I am so darn bad.
Amen."

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG
Are You Anemic?
WIIKN' for any reason tho blood Mipply
Is lacking or tho blood Is deficient In
any of Its Important constituents, such as
red corpuscles, nncmla results.
There nro many causes of anemia. A
person may havo a cevcrd hcmorrlmgo as
tho result of accident or disease. Ho may
not hao sufficient food or tho right kind
of food Long hours of hard work In In
sanitary surroundings may cauro anemia.
Wliatover tho cause, tho patient has a
peculiar pallor that oxtends even to the
lips a truly bloodless uppcarnnco. There
may be nlmoU any functional dlstut banco.
Slnco every organ and part of tho body Is
nourished by tho blood, It follows that tho
tissues r.tarvo and cannot perform their
normal woik If tho blood supply is In any
way lacking. Nervousness, Insomnia, short
breath and neuralgia aro common symptoms
of anemia.
In treating anemia, as In nny disease,
wo must remove tho cause. For Instance,
If a man's occupation causes anemia, he
must chango It. If a nursing mother has
anemia from prolonged nursing, sho must
wean her baby. If there aro parasites In
tho Intestines, they mint bo dislodged. If
a man Is starving, ho must bo fed.
In any case, nourishment Is of greatest
impoitance because tho blood must bo
brought to normal. Wholesome food must
bo supplied. Thin loe3 not mean rich or
stimulating food In tho otdlnary sense, but
simple physiologic foods. Tho milk diet is
nn excellent means of building up the blood.
It Is often well to havo tho patient rest
In bed for a few days or weeks (especially
In cases of anemia duo to hemorrhage)
whllo tho blood-building Is going on. A
horizontal position, or ono with tho foot
of tho couch or bed elevated a llttlo above
