BUTTONS

WHEN sewing

on buttons, We always put a darning needle where the button is to go, then attach the button over the needle.

Now take out the needle, and you will find that not only is the button stitched mare securely, but it is not too close to the material, which often spoils the effect of coats, elc.

you have trouble with pearl or bone buttons, try

this method.

When either pearl or bone buttons are apt to pull right out of knitted materials, place linen button, slightly smiler in Hizo than the pearl or bone one, just behind it. Now sew the two on together, and

you will find that they will remain firm and will pull away from material.

Many people will protest that they do not overcat. When one comes to work out the amount of food taken by them per day, it is found that. so far as actual bulk is concerned. they are quite right.

But further investigation often re- veals that, although they may have a light breakfast and lunch and a cup of tea with nothing to eat in the after noon, the evening meal makes up for these deficiencies.

It is a real "spread." after which they usually feel it for nothing more than to all in an armchair.

Should drinks be taken during micals or between them? It is dif- cult to answer this question, but if they are taken with meals, drinks must not do the work of the saliva. When foodstuffs are properly masti- hted the saliva is mixed with the food and helps to digest it.

Saliva also helps in swaliozlug. But if drinks at mealtimes are taken to wash down food, indigestion may easily result, particularly if the pro- cera is kept up for any length of time.
