A WORD FOR THE PLUMP Shirtwaist Frock Simple apd Chic PATTERN tSia Three-Piece Suit Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS LIGHTFOOT THE DEER BECOMES UNEASY T HE Green Forest was very beauti ful. It was no longer green save where the pines and spruces and hem locks grew. Everywhere else It was red and yellow and brown, for It was October and the leaves had turned. All/ day long and all the night, too. for that matter, there was a gentle rustling all through the Green Forest, for the leaves were falling. Llghtfoot the Deer was becoming uneasy. It was the rustling of the falling leaves that made him uneasy. You see those falling leaves had a message for Lightfoot, a message and a warning. It was that the season of terrible danger for him, the hunting season, was close at hand. All through the long summer Light foot had lived in peace and safety. In the early spring his wonderful antlers, which some folks call horns, but which are not true horns, had fallen. Very helpless had Lightfoot been then, but despite his helplessness there had been no fear In his heart. You see. he knew that there was no one in all the Green Forest, save Buster Bear, of whom he need be afraid. It was an easy matter to keep out of the way of Buster Bear. Besides, there was little cause to fear Buster, for Buster was finding plenty to eat and a full stom ach makes for good nature in man and beast. So all the long summer Lightfoot the Deer had lived quietly and In peace while new antlers grew, antlers larger and more beautiful than those As long as the leaves had remained green everywhere through the Green Forest, Lightfoot had been happy and carefree, but now 1 that the leaves had turned to beautiful colors and were dropping, dropping, dropping day and night, he grew more and more uneasy and fear crept into his heart Lightfoot had a good memory and he had not forgotten the dreadful things which had happened at the time of falling leaves the year before. , He knew that the season when hunters with terrible guns would come Into the Green Forest seeking to kill him was close at hand. So his uneasiness grew and grew, and In his beautiful great, soft eyes the look of fear grew stronger each day. Only at night was Lightfoot free of It C T. W. Burgess.—WNU Service.

D URING the summer weather Is the time when everybody should take a few hours away from the grindstone. The bouse mother needs a vacation as much as any worker, but usually, a picnic is but an added burden unless everybody takes a hand in planning^ and preparing the food. Have every thing simple, easy to prepare and then let the young folks do the work; It will be good experience and give moth er a rest, if it Is possible for her to give up the Idea that no one but fier- self can pack a lunch. With the frying pan, take along some eggs and bacon. Scramble the eggs, add the crisp bacon which has been fried and kept hot, serve as a sandwich- filling, on well buttered bread. Young, green onions or a sim ple salad, or a cucumber and radishes, go well with such sandwiches. For the youngsters, take milk, lemonade or cocoa, which may be carried in a thermos bottle* Coffee, too, may be prepared at' home, but one of the pleasures of an outing meal Is cooking It. Coffee never tastes better than when cooked in a tin pot or pail on a campfire. French fried toast goes very nicely for a camp hot dish. This Is easy to prepare by beating an egg, adding a little milk and a pinch of salt and sugar. Fry in a' little hot bacon fat or the slices may be fried on the sheet- A heather mixture of navy blue and tan alpaca tweed that looks like hand knit is used for the skirt and jacket of this smart three-piece suit The ribbed blouse, belt and pocket linings are navy blue. A cowhide buckle also features this ensemble. Iron stove, where all may be choked at once. Tomato and Egg Sandwich. Fry an egg on both sides, not too hard. Put between slices of bread with sliced tomato and onion. This makes a good meal with a cupful of hot coffee. A piece of bread fried in a very lit tle bacon fat in a hot frying pan makes a tasty meal with any green salad or green onions and radishes. 9 Western Newspaper Union. * UESTION BOX ’ • b, ED WYNN, The Perfect Fool AM Through the Long Summer Light foot Had Lived in Peace and Safety he had lost While these new antlers were growing he kept very much by himself.

Waiting for Word From Houdinl x TINE YEARS ago Harry Houdinl, master magician, died. Before he passed IN away he made a compact with his wife that he would seek to communicate with her from the beyond, glrffig Tier certain code algnals whereby the might know when he spoke. In her rustic Laurel Canyon home, near Hollywood, Calif., Mrs. Beatrice Hondinl waits for. that message. She has waited Bias years at a shrine in which stands a photograph of the magician. Both overweight and onderweight conditions are hazardous to health. But styles for wom- tb have placed a premium on under weight The alen- der, boyish figure la a girl with less flash than the should hava to ba, normal It la en couraging to hots that the New Tork HairoYessers’ and Cosmetologists' as sociation, with five thousand members, has come out for the plump girls at against the tfdn ones. They place more 'weight on graceful curvet than on sharp angles. The well-nourished damsel of today should be proud of her health. For radiant glowing skin goes with a plump, rounded body. Painters, sculptors, courtiers and great lovers have always given the plump girl the best of it The esteem for slenderness has been only faddlsm, just an evanescent Idea. Long ears, protruding lips and other fetish customs are confine# only to local areas. Plump girls are more normal than slender, skinny ones. They can think better because they are healthier. Cleopatra, Venus of Milo, Fatima were all plump ladles, even bordering on overweight The charmers of the Sultan were buxom women; the Renaissance portrayed convex and not concave figures aa their Ideal of feminine beauty. In the early nineties In this country the plump Lillian Russell type was In great demand. And Mae West—she may be the style of tomorrow. The anemlc,i slender, underweight girl will develop Into a plump young woman if ahe eata the proper food. Directly after birth the first major bat tle every little girl baby has to solve Is to keep her Internal heat regulated and constant Shi conquers this with in 24 hours, thien ahe haa another criti cal problem; namely, to keep her blood pressure normal and constant A lit tle gland on top of each kidney takes care of this—the adrenal or super- adrenal glands. Then ahe has seven or eight years of smooth sailing. Con tagious diseases are all that bother her at this time. Bnt when ahe reaches nine years of age she begins to change. She grows faster; she becomes more active In her movements. She Is preparing her self for womanhood. When she is eleven or twelve years old, she Is taller than her brother at the same age. She now develops rapidly. She Fats bn weight angles become carves, fst s deposited around breast and hips; she blooms out like a morning flower n springtime. She becomes a woman almost overnight If ahe stays slender an# boyish with concave angles, ahe s not developing along normal lines. It la just aa natural for a girl to be come plump when she grows Into young womanhood aa It la for a flower o bloom when It la matnre. Authorities on public health have al ways been apprehensive about the slender faddlsm among young women. Young women can .keep slender only by modified starvation methods. They eat little other than dried bran-llke breakfast foods, moistened with skimmed milk and swallowed with the aid of coffee or tea; they religi ously cut out fats and sweets, and subsist for the rest of the day mainly on salads Their* Idea Is to keep the neutral, Immature, puberty figure of childhood. And nature never meant n girlish figure to be n cblldlsb form. Head colds heavy feelings In head an# back, and mental sluggishness with a constipation of Ideas and thoughts are common among under nourished young people. An angular, concave, linear-figured, underfed young woman may well be an Incubator cul tivating and propagating vrlonaj^iwT* of germs Tonng mothers with plnmp figures have plenty of vitality-giving vitamins and other necessary substances stored In their bodies for the growth *hd nourishment of their babies Under- nourished, skinny yonng mothers are at a disadvantage; they have less reserve stored np for their Infants There will fewer disabilities among mothers If they eat what they should and eat until hanger Is satisfied. Rat ing will make them plnmp, put that Is normal, and they yrlll he much health ier and very much happier. The style-makers talk of fuller for the 1935-36 winter season. Tha good news from the health standi Tight skirts make women think, too much of reducing. When they see broad or potatoes on the table, butter, ice cream, whipped cream, all foods they should have, they shake their heads More ample clothes will make them leas conscious of curves when they look into their mirrors And, If you notice, the girls pictured on the magazine covers and in bill board advisements now definitely have curves so do the girls chosen to advertise swiX suits The attain ment of curves me^ns the baying of more food, which will make the farm ers happier. And more cloth Is re quired to cover curves which will make the weaving mills busier. Who knows but that the new style in plump- ness is the factor that will load us out of the depression?
