Some have thumb straps and corded bottoms. When plain organdie is not used, crossbar organdie is selected. Small pleated ruffles variously disposed trim these models. Some of the chiffon styles are round, also mounted on frames and a13o shirred. Sometimes the centre consists of flower stamens, and again, a large organdie rose forms the central motif of circular shapes, being posed on the flap. Vanity types are available in this styling. Others are made in chiffon petal ef- fect. TO IMPROVE POSTURE A relaxed neck is essential to graceful carriage, poise and calm nerves. If the muscles in. the back of your neck are tense and seem to be full of knots. the chances are that you'll carry your head awk- wardly, have headaches and, occa- sionally, a bad disposition. And, as you well ' now, 'any of these ailments is likely to ppt ;"nos across your brow or otherwise mar your beauty. You should carry your head erect, chin up, not pulled in toward the throat—and shoulders straight, not forced stiffly back. If, when you wake up, there are twinges of pain or a sluggish feeling in your neck, try sleeping without a pillow; also do some simple relaxing exercises. Sit in a straight chair with feet flat on the floor and hands folded in your lap. Let your head fall forward as far as it will go, making no .at- tempt to force it downward toward your chest. Then swing it backward, relaxing your' jaw so as not to strain and strech the skin on your throat. Repeat twenty times. Rest a few minutes: Now, taking the original poeition, stiffen the muscles in your, neck, turn your head to : the aleft and, wait*, moving shoulders, try to:'touchY'your left shoulder with your chin., Feel the muscles stretch and+ppull. 'Turn your head to the right. and repeat. Then do the first exercise again. This time you'll notice that your head falls forward a good deal lower than it did at first. Massage will help, too. The oper- ator who gives you hot oil treat- ments should begin to massage up- ward from the space between should- er blades to the crown of your head. Ask her to place her hands directly over your ears and to pull upward until your neck muscles feel stretch- ed and relaxed. waste, because even the bone, taken out, may be used to make broth for luncheon the day after you have the roast for dinner. If you do take out the bone, fill the cavity left with a stuffing which will make the meat go farther and. lessen the cost of each meal. Most butchers take out the thin membrane skin spotted with fat which covers theflesh of lamb, but it's a good idea.. to make sure, this has been done before roasting. This is the caul and it is responsible for the strong- taste that has made lamb unpopular with some people. If you belong to the pre -salting school, rub a leg of lamb with salt before roasting. Then fill with a well -seasoned bread stuffing, sew the- cut edges together in order to hold the stuffing in place. Finally rub with salt and pepper and place on rack in roaster. Don't add water, but put uncovered, in a moderate oven (375 degrees F.) and allow thirty minutes to the pound. Make a good brown • gravy in the roasting pan after the roast is taken out. Sliced Lamb in Jelly Sauce ' One - half cup apple or currant jelly, 2 tablespoons tomato ,catsup, pimento stuffed olives, 4 slices cold roast lamb. Add catsup to jelly and mix over the fire while melting in a shallow sauce pan. Bring to the boiling point and add slices of lamb. Reduce heat and simmer below the boiling point for ten minutes. Garnish each slice with slices of stuffed olives and serve very hot. You may like to add two tablespoons sherry to the jelly sauce for special occasions. This is an excellent chafing -dish concoction, too and takes care of leftover meat.

LEG OF LAMB For years culinary experts told us to sear our roasts and steaks in order to keep in the juices. Now we knew that this was all talk. The unseared roast is just as juicy as the seared one. They used to admonish solemnly about the salting, too claimed it had to be done after roasting to prevent drawing out the juices. Now we know that hardly any juices were lost in the roast pre - salted and since the salt faits to penetrate more than an inch into the roast, it makes little difference in the flavor anyway. Many of the so-called cheaper cuts of meat involve a large percentage of waste in bone and fat. Cheap cuts are good to extend the meat flavor o other foods thus making t palatable. Lamb in Season At this season of the year lamb is at its best and cheapest. If you want a roast, the leg is the most economi- KEEPING JUIhCE WITHIN CRUST Short sticks of macraoni, stuck like small funnels in a fruit pie, will keep the juice from running over the crust and into the oven. CUCUMBERS A LA CREME The cucumbers must first of all be blanched in the following man- ner. Cut them into slices about an inch and a half wide, cut these into four quarters, peel them, cut out the pippy centre, and shape the pieces like olives, throwing them as you cut them into 'a basin of cold water. Have some water, slightly salted, ready boiling, and drop the cucum- ber pieces . into this, counting about 20 minutes' cooking from the time the water boils again. Prick them to see if they are tender. When they are done, drain them and serve mixed with a cream sauce. .arc`•` - A good action pxctui°, kf keenly contested game between Pennsylvania Military College and Harvard. Harvard won, 15-5 .

The power of pure and self -forgetful love such as Ruth had entertained, could not bo more beautifully delin- eated. "And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it." The great love that a grandmother has for the first grand- child is something that all of us have rejoiced to see. "And the women of her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to' Naomi and they called his name Obed; he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. The word Obed is an abbreviated form of Obe- diah, which means "he servant of God. Thus does Ruth become the great-grandmother of Israel's great king and, ultimately, an ancestress of the great kinsman himself, the Son of David, the Messiah of Israel, the Savious of the world (Matt. 1:5. 6; Luke 3:31, 32).

"And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near 'kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel." It is one of the peculiar beauties of our narrative that its last words are almost wholly devoted. to Naomi. And justly exemplary; for it w life i i Na- omi who, by Moab, had been the instructress of Ruth.

Certainly a radical change had come into the life of this Moabitish wo- man.
