It has all the force of that little chamber of steam that moves mighty locomotives. It has the compelling strength of that rippling peaceful little river whose power lights our great towns and throbs through our household machinery. It costs nothing to be agreeable, but if many men and women knew what it wins, our divorce, suicide, ' melancholia and general domestic tragedy statistics would be changed amazingly. Most persons are not agreeable. They didn't have an example of family pleasantness as children; they get into criticizing and dis satisfied habits of speech; they went on into their own lives and mar- ' riages just being mean. Not always in action, but often in speech. Approach Is Hostile STAKT THE DAY WITH A GOOD BREAKFAST ( S u Keiipei Brlow) BRIGHT BEGINNING ONE OF THE biggest services which any homemaker con give her family Is to feed them a good substantial breakfast to get them off to work and school with proper spirit. This is the best way—at leist to my knowledge—of prevent Ing that mid-morning lag in energy as well as having the mind razor sharp whether you apply yourself at a school desk, sit in an office or work In the barn, fields or your own kitchen. A good breakfast need not be ela borate to serve its purpose. Start off with a simple pattern Including fruit, cereal and milk and you can be well fed. Naturally if you want more there ore any number of foods to be added. Too. there's no need to feel that breakfasts can't have vnr iety. You can very fruit and cereal daily, while eggs, breakfast meats or d het breads have infinite variety If mother will start fragrant odors In the kitchen when the family Is scheduled to hear the alarm clock this will help keep them interested in completing the process and get them down to a good breakfast • • • FOR THOSE of you who depend upon the oven to take the chill out cf the house In the morning, here are some splendid qulck-to-mlx hot breads for breakfast or any other meal: Honey Nut Bran Muffins (Makes 16 large muffins) 54 cup honey 1 cup flour 54 teaspoon soda <4 teaspoon salt 54 teaspoon baking powder 2 cups bran 1 tablespoon melted butter 1*4 cups milk 54 cup walnuts, chopped fine Sift together flour, soda, salt and taking powder.

Cinnamon toast made this way is delicious: toast and butter bread, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon and broil until bubbly. For maple toast, make as cinna mon toast, substituting shavings of maple sugar for cinnamon-sugar mixture; broil.

Practical Pretties E rtta Haley THIS TIME of year, al A BOUT most every woman can hardly wait for the new season's clothes to come out, and at the same time she has tired of clothes she’s been wear ing since last fall. The answer to this problem Is seme simple restyling on clothes of which you have tired. Restyling does not involve any such extensive Job as remaking a dress or hat completely. It simply means that you add some new touches to the clothing that you have to wear for a few months longer. A new set of collars and cuffs, a bit of hem Interest, a new set of buttons, a fresh yoke or plastron on a dress arc refreshing and will add new life and Interest to many gar ments. Or. change the cuffs on a pair of fabric gloves by adding a dash of color. For a piece of fine veiling on a hat. substitute a piece of coarsely textured material and see how de lighted you will be. Dramatic buttons on a weary suit guarantee new interest. Some clip- on Jewelry for your hand bag makes it almost new! These are all simple restyling tricks, but they will lift any wardrobe out of the doldrums until you can don lighter, gayer things of the new season. \A / ANT to perk up your kitchen?

If the garment still does line to a dress. Make a belt of the same material to hold the dress to gether. Hem interest is still high, and a ruffled or gathered hem may be added to a full, flaring skirt, or a softly gathered one. It you are work ing with the skirt alone, and adding restyling in the form of a new hem to it, carry out the same motif In the pockets, too. If you’re adding the hem to a dress, it’s wise to make a collar and cuffs of the same material as the hem.

Buy or Make In cases where you have gained or Your Patterns lost weight during the season, the Yokes, plastrons, collars and restyling will consist of letting out cuffs as well as puffy peplums or taking in a garment.

How to Restyle Torn Blouses There’s a lot of under-arm strain on blouses resulting in tears beyond repair. For the short-sleeved blouse which has torn, full, new sleeves may be added. For sleeves which have tom at the armhole, it’s best to cut down the blouse and make a dickey out of it. For lace which is frayed and shabby at the front of the blouse, Or ruffle to restyle dress, carefully rip out the old, and insert yoke for a dress or collars and some new lace which will match cuffs.

Not just any beret will do, for It must be a very sm art one such as the Jade genius highlighted with brown mesh as shown In the sketch. It’s fastened underneath a young chin with a soutache frog. It’s a simple matter to buy a new belt or change a tarnished buckle on the old one in preferance to wearing a shabby one. Besides that, a fresh new belt or a reconditioned one will do more for both waistline and dress. Clasps, zippers and trimmings on purses can be changed either by yourself or a repair shop. If a fav orite hand-bag has a worn lining, it’s easy enough to mend it or buy a new piece of fabric to make a fresh one. This adds greatly to the life of the purse. Suede and leather cleaners may be used on gloves to good advantage. A stiff-bristled brush used on a suede bag will bring new life to it. Try a brisk brushing, too, on a felt or suede hat and see how well the nap comes up in it. Many hats need nothing more to restore them than thorough brushing which will rid them of several month’s accum ulation of dust that dulls their color. For hats which have been caught too frequently In rain and snow, do or have done, a re-blocking Job. With a change of veiling in addition to this, hats will become practically new.
