The older girl can have it made regulation style or the popular one-piece. It combines well with foulard and crepe de chine, both of which keep it in the tubable clats. It takes wool embroidery al most better than any other material. THE VERY CM All ntMP IV IK THE newest fashions fur the little lirl anywhere from six years when her dresses take on shape liness to 16, when her problem is al most identical with her mother's, re peat in an interesting way the new things for the grown-up. Not only is this true of lines which are cleverly aapted to the age when sophistication or anything sujwsting it is all wrong, but the identical materials that are used for adult clothes are used for fashioning the smaller but not less im portant wardrobe. In other words, mother cuts daughter's dress from the remnant o"f her own. I'se of Canton Crepe, Thus we see canton crepe used for adorable little chemise frocks cut in just as many odd ways as mother's, for mother, you see, has borrowed this youthful straight cut and appar ently is loath to Rive it up. And can ton crepe is combined with other ma terials, too; it may have raglan sleeves, for instance, of figured crepe de chine set in, with a sash of the lighter-weight silk, or a contrasting hem of it. This contrasting hem, by the way, seems to be the most popular method of introducing color and variety in the frocks for the very little girl as well as for the flapper. It is met with on 'l materials, linen, organdies, ging hams, and so on. Sometimes the ap plied hem Jus a decorative outline as on a dear little navy taffeta, where the cherry-colored hem has a scalloped top and a small straw flower appliqucd in the middle of each scallop. rongee In Limelight. Pongee still holds the limelight in children's clothes; it is too practical a fabric ever to go out of fashion for juveniles. And so many attractive things can be done with it Fot the A "Food Fruit" Fact Hf THE banana is properly called the food fruit, because of its high food value, and the story has come to Northern scientists of men who do hard manual labor in the trop ics and live on a diet of six bananas a day. The old story that ' !- can't eat ba nanas, because they give mc indiges tion," is heard over and over again; and the main reason for this is that housewives serve the fruit before it is fully ripened. You would expect trou- Mf ble if you eat green peaches or apples why make the Lanana an exception? When bananas are really ripe, the skin is beginning to turn blade and even if the covering is mtirely brown with black flecks, the banana is not spoiled, ' provided nature's air-tight package has not been broken by care less tearing from the stalk. If bananas are ripe they are very easily digested, because the percentage of fruit sugar is then the highest and the amount of non-assimilable starch lowest. The average time for the di gestion of a ripe banana is one and three-quarter hours, in comparison to three and a half hours for a soft boil ed egg and five hours and twenty min utes for roast pork. The effect of ripe bananas in the in testines is valuable because it reduces decomposition through a lactic acid fermentation and has an antiseptic ac tion on the products of decomposition. Inadequate Chewing. Two other reasons for the charge in indigestibility are inadequate chew ing and the fact that the fruit is a heavy one being so nutritious, that the stomach may be overworked, if It is "eaten for fun," especially by chil dren, in addition to a complete ration. Make a real place for the banana in the menu. According to statistics, 85 per cent of the world's production of bananas Pictures through courtesy of Bush Terminal.

Ripe bananas quickly baked in their skins until soft and seasoned with salt and paprika, give a delicious, delicate ly flavored product that may be used as a vegetable. If they are baked without their skins, with the addition of sugar, lemon juice and water, or any of the tart fruit jellies, the dish is changed to an excellent and easily prepared dessert. Another very dainty banana dessert is made by lining a glass dish with halved lady fingers and filling the cen ter with alternate layers of the cake and sliced bananas. Pour over a thick boiled custard, that has been chilled on the ice and flavored with lemon. Orna ment the top with mounds of sweet ened whipped cream and top each mound with a square of bright tinted idly. A vanilla layer cake with thin slices of bananas, mixed witft boiled frost ing for the filling and icing, will be found a pleasing variety of the cake family and banana shortcake is still another suggestion. FASHIONS IN HUSBANDS, I ALWAYS feel so sorry for little Mrs. Beare," said a friend of mine the other day. "Her husband is such a dreadful bounder I" "He doesn't look like one!" I pro tested. "I don't know him, except by sight, but I've always thought what a nice-looking man he is." "Nice-looking, perhaps, but it makes me boil to see him neglecting his wife at a dance, carrying on flirtations un der her very nose, while she sits un wanted and supperless. She says, of course, that she knows her husband isn't in earnest over his little affairs, but, my dear, if I were married to a hateful, conceited, heartless man like that, I'd either choke him with one of his admiring letters tp another girl or refuse to have anything more to do wih him." My friend concluded, with a bounce, "It makes me mad" to see a woman trodden on and neglected like thatl" But alas! what can lookers do but hold indignant converse? There are many married bounders to be met with everywhere, and sometimes (this is quite between you and me), I wonder if it may be partly the wife's fault? She has married him, and probably loves him, and so she must make the best of a bad bargain, and try to turn 'it into a better. She will never do that by being a doormat There is no need to rush to the oth er extreme. But the only course for a woman possessed of a husband who neglects her is to go her own way, make her own friends, have as good a time as she can under the circum stances, and praise the other women to him. This is frequently a douche of cold water to in indifferent hus band. He begins to wonder if he knows his own wife after al and when he sees her popular with others, he grows proud of her. That is the way of such men. There are other married bounders one meets. There is the man who con tradicts his wife flatly in public, who suppresses her upon any and every occasion, who rushes across a road, leaving his wife to follow as best she can through the traffic; who bounds light-heartedly on to a bus, shouting to her to jump for it; who descends to breakfast with a "liver" attack, and grumbles and growls his way through the meal until everyone else is heart ily glad to see the last of him; who screws the housekeeping money to a minimum, yet refuses to eat any bit the best food 1 . 0 day i tmrj ibe waffle Iron should be almoxt smoking when the batter Is pourd In.
