cottons, wools or silks. 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

most better than any other material.

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.

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

are eaten by the people of the United
States and following are some pleasing
ways of preparing them for family
use:
Baked Bananas.
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
