All of us have outgrown that New hats, a perky print frock, even a ! haircut all of these have proved to be tonics far more valuable to us than ever that which came ' from a brown I bottle.

Nor yet will a change of glassware or a new dinner set alone do the trick though even a different pickle dish does a lot toward adding In terest. We must look to the food!

In these fashion hints, treats the Individual problems of women. This week he points out a few devices which may be suc cessfully applied by the woman who possesses large or rounded shoulders. POOR posture and structural deformity are the two causes from which round shoulders arise. It is possible, however, to mini mize the rounded appearance. Cor rect selection of clothes Is the answer to the problem. There are some modes which definitely must not be worn, because they only aggravate and Increase the round ed appearance. The kimono and the raglan sleeve are good ex amples of sleeve styles which should be avoided by a person of this build. Great care should be exerted In fitting the sleeve and cutting the arm-eye, The round-shouldered woman, to appear best, will always select the set-in sleeve. Placement of the shoulder seam Is one of the best devices for ap parently straightening round shoulders. Constructed slightly back of the normal line, or slanted back, it will cause the shoulders to appear thrown back in an erect attitude. AVOID DETAIL8 It is Important to avoid any massive details at the front of the garment, since this only serves to give the illusion of pulling the shoulders still farther forwards. In the evening gown especially, the round-shouldered woman should always choose the square or pointed neck line. Proper manipulation of collars is another medium through which It is poaslble to alleviate the effect of round shoulders. The curve of the shoulders may be corrected by placement of the collar. A soft, crushed collar, or one which rolls up and away from the back of the neck, is very flatter ing. A straight-hanging waist will aid in concealing rounded or stooped shoulders. Also effective is a well-fitted, fairly long cape possessing pointed or slender - lines. Cooks' Kitchen Tours Conducted by : Virginia Ross I LIKE to vary my baking-powder biscuits in different ways. Sometimes I spread the tops with a mixture of orange juice and sugar before I bake them. Again I spread the lower halves of hot baked biscuits with butter and the upper halves with honey, and put them together again. Hot bis cuits are delicious, too, served with maple syrup. When you make cocoanut maca roons, make cooked salad dress ing at the same time, using the 3 egg whites for the first and the yolks of the eggs for the second recipe. 11 you don't have enough cock tail glasses for a large number of guests, serve your fruit or sea food cocktails in grapefruit shells it's a good idea to let croquet tes stand in a warm place for about half an hour before frying. They absorb less fat in cooking than when ice cold. Left-over sweet pickle juice may be used to advantage in making boiled salad dressing. tl your family is addicted to cinnamon toast, keep a large sized salt shaker handy for sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on the hot buttered toast. Use food coloring sparingly, for harsh colors in food are never attractive, I add color paste grad ually from the point of a small knife or a toothpick, and drop In liquid color cautiously with a medicine dropper. Use a little imagination and cocoanut for a new cake decora tion. Try tiny nests of cocoanut with a red cherry in the center of each on a white cake, or white spokes, of cocoanut radiating In a wheel design from the center of a chocolate cake, or tinted cocoa nut In crisscross effect on a white frosting. When a cake uses both beaten yolks and beaten whites, beat the yolks first; they don't lose their lightness on standing as the whites do. I've found that if I set my bowl on a pot holder or folded towel, It doesn't dance all over the table as I beat the yolks. I've found that large loaf cakes bake best in tube pans. But if you want to put a center decoration on your cake, cover the hole with a circle of white cardboard and1 on Women's Attire Employment of a definite waist- A Hnr thereby revealing the curve ' of the figure, will make round shoulders less apparent ACCESSORIES In all of the different phases of a woman's dress there is hardly a more important item than her choice of accessories. Nothing Is more disastrous to the ccstume effect than to have a well-executed dress completely ruined bv Ml- -chosen accessories. Naturally, it Is sometimes im possible to have corresponding accessories for every dress in the wardrobe. When this is the case, the hat, purse, gloves, hose and shoes should be selected with the idea that they will harmonize with the various costumes at hand. For example: never choose Very smart for street wear this spring Is this closely fitting dress with contrasting jacket. The treat ment of the front of the dretis, Its vest effect, Is new and decidedly smart. Fullness In the back of the jaoket adds distinction. a definite color, such as green, for one hat to be used for all-season wear. It is wiser and in better taste to choose black, which will harmonize with any color worn. Also, discrimination is needed in the choice of footwear. Sport -i shoes with a sport dresB, and dainty shoes with the dainty dress of afternoon and evening. then frost it along with the rest of the cake. , Do you ever top your meat pies or casserole dishes with baking powder biscuits? Twelve to 15 minutes before the dish is to come from the oven, I place tiny circles of biscuit dough on top and let them bake as the dish finishes cooking Whenever you carmelize sugar, use a heavy frying pan Iron Is best a medium flame, and stir all the while the sugar melts. It . gets very lumpy at first, but the V. lumps wilt disappear. Let the syrup boll and bubble until It Is a rich, deep brown, but not black. Be sure to take the pan off the fire before you add the hot water. Add all the water at one time, and stir until every bit of sugar syrup Is dissolved. Substitute a cheese tray, fruit and crackers for dessert every now and then. Split lady fingers spread one half with raspberry jam, the other half with cream cheese blended with cream. Put together, sandwich fashion. Serve chilled, with coffee as a simple dessert.
