SPRING STYLES

Spring and Summer styles are fair ! ly well established by this time, and l thank that most Of us are glad that 1 the change is not greater than it is l Radical style changes are really un- fortunate, they do no one any good But a little change is refreshing. And 1 besides giving variety, it offers a | chance for every type of woman to | find the fashion most becoming to her. l I often have letters from girls who l wish to look well on a samu income i asking what clothes are best to choose. i l think the answer is that the. most generally useful garment is a dark ! tailored suit The tailored suit looks well on every women who holds her self even moderately straight unless she is hopelesS1y stout.
 And present day styles are particu- larly good for the normal and the ab- normal figure. Skirts are neither ex- tremely wide nor extremely tight; the exaggerated shortneSS is not seen in the very best fashions, and we have not yet (thank goodness) decided on very long skirts. The dresses still in cline toward loose long lines, by far the most graceful and becoming to both good and bad figures.
 A dark tailored suit is splendid for not only the remainder of the Spring, but for all Summer and far into next Fall With a self colored waist, it makes a complete costume, and with fresh white waists it offers as much variety as several dresses. It saves the cost of a long coat, if expense must be figured ir; and with fresh gloves and a smart simple hat, it gives a good looking outfit that will be suit able anywhere. It is much better to put lost of ones allowance in a good suit, than in several cheap dresses.

 MEAT AND APPENDICITIS.
! B. Huber AM, MD

Several summers ago Harvard slumped badly in football. Both BrickIey and Enright were down and out with appendicitis at the beginning of the season.
 How did these athletes get their appendicitis? Dr. Richard Cole New ton, of New Jersey, declared that a contributing cause, at least, was the training diet in which meat is a very large proportion The trianer, how ever, explains that the vigorous eNer- else demanded of football players makes an almost wholly meat diet necessary for some time. Anyhow. well worth consideration.
 For an understanding of the matter we have to note briefly what the ap pendix is and where it is situated. Certain animals have several stom- achs; the COW has four. Our ances- tors many thousands of years ago had at least two. One of these is left us. The other remains. but it has become rudimentary-a- kind of anatomic joke In fact, it is just what it is called. a mere appendix of no use in the body, oftentimes troublesome, sometimes bringing on death.
 This appendix is attached to the beginning of the large intestine 0the colon), an nich- or two below where the small intestine empties into the colon. The part-of the colon to which the appendix is attached is called the caecum (the blind pouch). When fermenEing, undigested food and dis ease germs accumulate in the caecum, some of the mass is likely to get into the appendix and give rise to infiam- nation abSceSS gangren and perfOra- tion-conditions requiring prompt and skillful surgery. and even then all too frequently fatal.

How To Make Bread

By JESSIE WETZELL KNOTT.
 Odd. how letters run. For a week now it seems that every person who has written me wants to know how to make bread.

 I think the best advoce I can give to those who really desire to make bread is to buy a bread mixer. They are not expensive, and they will pay for themselves many times over in con venience. And an oven thermometer. "If you can hold your hand in the oven and count ten it is right for biscuits we are told, and there are a much simpler and better to get a thermometer and KNOW what your oven heat is.

 Do not get d mixer that is larger than necessary, or the dough will not be well mixed. Then. if it can be ar ranged at all, get tiny electric mo- tor for your kitchen. Bread mixing will be a lark, cake mixing a joy. and think, of watching ice cream freeze itself, and nayonnaise blend and thicken while you watch it,

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES

l had only myself to blame. Still stuDbornly enough-I persisted in feeling hurt Jim might have guessed I would come.
 I had a bad time getting the little 1 car to start. It was fifteen or twen- ty minutes before I cleaned a con- nection and got away. Then( at a crowded corner, a traffic cop held me up and delivered an angry ora tion because I hadn't observed his upfung hand and had driven along when he was halting traffic. It took me twice as long as it should have taken to drive home.
 And when I got to our apartm ent the little car wouldn't run neatly alongside the curb. but had to be backed and driven out into the street before I could park deceBly So l arrived aft my own door in d state of nerveS-Jumpy and uncomfortable. The final insult to my happiness and intelligence took place when a third search of purse failed to reveal my latchkey.
 Bertha opened the door in response to my ring, and her smiling face so- bered immediately on seeing me.
 Mir. Harrison come in yer" I asked, ignoring Bertha's individuality and personality
 "Tes'm, and gone out-'' said Bertha sadly.
 'Gone out. whereo When will he be back I demanded.

Tom MaSon's on most important business. and would you please follow him at once, as the three of you would dine together. And he'd no more than gone when the phone rings and Mir. Cosby asks if you'll please step in as soon as you come home. He said it's most inn pOrtapt and that he wouldn't ask only he needs you special and without de- lay"
 Bertha ran it all so breathleSsly that I got the sense of grave things pending. and, turning, pressed my fin ger 70 the elevator bell.
 Bertha. please get Mir Harrison at MT. Masons,' I said. and tell him to call me at once at MT. Cosby's. Then you and Angy have your supper and go to dhe movie.'
 At that moment the elevator ar rived. so I hastily took four silver quarters from my purse and, thrust irg them into Bertha's hand, stepped wearily into the elevator and hurried to answer Lane Cosby's summons.

 Who is this Kathryn Johnson? Ie the married or single and how many children has she?
 '-Women are intelligent enough tc realize that they should have children and rear them properly, but to say that every woman should have four is ridiculous.
 No woman wants any interference in her personal affairs-she resents ''To hear about this makes me wish l had gone to the convention in Wash ington. I certainly would have some- thing, to say against such a resolu- ton.
 Says Women Know Their Duty
 'The American race won't die out. Our women are as good mothers, as responsible in their views on duty to country and family any in the world. And they are patriotic enough not to want the newcomers to our shores to become the only perpetual OTIS of our race.
 But the suggestion that each woman pledge herself to bring four children into the world, regardless of circumstances, is simply outrageous. Such resolutions and ideas belong in the sacred confines of the family cir cle and not elsewhere.
 Il have been mother twice and have lost one child,'' Mrs. Bostwick added ''I believe every American wife will wish to. have children and that we do not need to worry about the future of our country"

ASPARAGUS IN THE SUPPER MENU.
Laura A. kIrekmar

The asparagus season, like the sweet corn season, is all too brief to please the average family But the housekeeper who likes to give her family the dishes they most enjoy, will make the most of the fl esh asparagus while it is available The following menus suggest ways of serving it for supper:
 Asparagus Eggs, Cheese Sauce
 Tea W ainut cake
 Asparagus Eggs: Toast slices of white bread and arrange them on in dividual plate. Arrange on these only the tender portions of hot, freshly boiled and drained asparagus. Then place a poached egg on this aspara- gus-layer and pour over all the fol- low hot sauce:
 Cheese Sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan; add , tablespoons flour and stir to a smooth paste Then add cups scalded milk gradually, beating constantly Season with az teaspoon salt, 1s teaspoon pepper and 1 F cups grated American cheese. Continue stirring till the cheese is melted, then serve-

Turn the handle steadily for three minutes.
 Grease the sides so that the dough can readily be removed after it has raised. then cover, wrap towels around it. and place where it is warm Allow the dough to double its bulk.

It is better to make small loaVes than large ones.
 Bake 45 Minutes.
 It should not take longer than three quarters of an hour to bake. The oven temperature should be $50 F. If rolls are made, bake for twenty minutes in a temperature of 425.
 If the warm crust is rubbed with butter it will be tender. A crisp crust can be. obtained by rubbing with the white of one egg beaten stiff. Turn on a rack to cool so that the air can circulate freely around the loaves. The broiler rack is splendid for this
