tall glass of some beverage can all
be brought on square or oblong
serving tray and thus avoid the
setting of the table except that
crash runner or dolly may be used.
Fortunately we are all becoming
sensible enough to ADOPT the dolly
and runner form OF service in the
hot weather. The cool appearance
of the uncovered wood Is very
charming and the lessening in our
laundry bills will be appreciable.
Elaborate napery. centerpieces. and
doilies are out of place in summer
service The cooler. the palmer, and
the more quaint the napery. the
more attractive II will be. For this
reason. the japanese cloths of hem
stitched muslin are very desirable,
as are the simDle round doilies OF
MADEIRA or other simple button
hole linen.
A large platter offers wonderful
possibilities in serving. Just the 9TH
er day at a luncheon. a large Can
ton blue platter was used. in the CEN
ter of which was a mound OF potato
salad, garnished with olives and rad
ishes. and about this were interlap-
ping slices OF ham. chicken, and
tongue. Another platter held sand
witches. pickles, and nuts, and one
more tray held all the beverages. A
plate with napkin was first passed to
every guest. and then the passing of
three trays served this really gen.
erOus luncheon.
The same idea can be applied to an
evening meal, and many decorative
effects are possible by using a large
platter and combining on 1t two or
three OF the main foods OF the meal.
II is not necessary to use the service
plate. and the paper plates now on
the market are 70 attractive that
anyone would wish to use them at
lest orce or twice week on hot
evening. so that there should be no
aftermath Of dishwashing. Indeed.
there are certain paper plates as
white and lovely as porcelain. and
new PAPER napkin IS made Of paper
which looks like crepe de chine. Pa
per table cloths. too, with damask
patterns, are beautiful, and will also
cut the Iaundry-bill ogre. Special chill
drcr's sets of napkins and little
tabIecloths come. which are greatly
enioyed by the little folk. And a de-
tai here, a short cut there, can be
made to simplify the summer serV-
ice. The moments saved in table
setting, or in dishwashing, or in
laundry are all moments Of energy
saved for the housewife o. mother TO
put into care of herself, or a little
more attention to the children. or n
BIT Of more time for that tired bust
ness man" husband who would much
prefer to see his wife fresh and I'M
wearied and eat his supper from one
rlate, than come to supper with
six platters and a woman with sick

Psychologists when say that every in
dividual who has diminished tolerance
for sugars and starches exhibits the
symptoms of diabetes AMI must be con-
sidered as a subject of a defective pam

In the blood of those who have dia-

attic hormone. This juice is absolutely
necessary for the tissues to use up
sugar. This is proven by simple ex-

Boiled UP and the extract added to the
blood of one with diabetes, the power

DR.. Morris, of New York, is convinced
rom his researches that many sufferers
with diabetes have succumbed to this
because OF Inflammation of the pancreas.
This was caused by microbes which
crawled and colonized their way from
the bowel into the pancreas.
1t might now be expected that all

feed the victim some pancreas or some

such treatment, unhappily, has been
often tried, like wishing for wealth,
without success.
Sugar in the kidney fluids may be
caused by taking or injecting certain
other ''hormoRes," such as thyroid, or
especially adrenin. In such instances the
administration of pancreas augments in

sugar.
Sugars are stored up in the liver and

Dear Annie Laurie:

About Christmas time last year /

The second one wants me to marry
him. 1 know he would make ne a

am very fond of him.

mad and bad-tempered for some time

Which Is your kind Of a man?
Which one Is most like one OF your
brothers in the things he likes and the
things he hates?
Glamour is a fine thing for love af-
fair, but it doesn't always wear very
well after the rice Is all brushed out OF
your going-away gown. The man who
will make you happiest, and the man
that you can make happiest is apt TO be
one who has something the same sort
of ideas that you have-at least the same
standards.
Which do you like best-a garden rose
or an orchid?
Marry the man who likes the same
sort of garden, and you're apt to marry
man who's had something the same
sort Of parents and the same sort OF
home life as you have. And you'll be
apt to be able to make a home for him
where he can he haDDy.
From your letter think-I don't know
why-that the second man is good
man, who loves you, and the first man Is
one who Is not SO good-and you love
him-or think you do.
Why did you break on your engage
ment with the first man? Was there
just a foolish little quarrel. or did you
become convinced that he wasn't
worthy Of you? That makes all the diff
ference in the world
