limited budget. The skirt with con

this season. With the separate skirt

flock of flattering sweaters, jackets
and blouses tuned to occasion you
can dress as well as the next one

Here's hoping the suggestions of

plus a velvet or handsome crepe or
slipper satin weave for more for
mal wear. However, you can go as
far as you like in laying in a supply
of skirts and then not have too many
if you go a lot. A tweed, a colorful
plaid, a pleated-all-round type, a
smartly fashioned crepe or satin for
day with a floor-length velvet or
crepe for evening formality, are
none too many.
Of course, with your tweeds and
your plaids you will want a swank
utilitarian sweater. The model pic

is so unusual. It has style distinc

Prevention Rather Than Cure
Though we m ay not know pre
cisely what causes a cold, nor
how to cure it once we have been
stricken, we can and should help
to build up bodily resistance, so
that we develop strong reserves
against the unknown cold germ
and any others lurking about.
Inasmuch as a program for
building up bodily resistance is
one which encourages greater
health and longevity, it is a pro
gram which all forward-looking
homemakers should put into e f
fect for their families.

thoughts and characteristics, an ac
tive interest in something other than
herself and her home, a desire to
be an inspiration to society, rather
than a burden. Such attainments
certainly enhance the charm any
woman creates by being pleasing to
look at.
Keep Child's Mind
Active
Such a program should include
proper food, normal elimination,
adequate exercise and sufficient
rest and sleep so as to avoid fa
tigue. Just as food ploys an im

growth, maintain health and in
crease the chances for longevity,
so does it have a stellar role in
the battle to prevent colds.
