HOW 1T STARTED
Scissors Cut Friendship.
by JEAN NEWTON.

''Ill give you cent for them," said
the recipient Of a pair Of exquisite
gold embroidery scissors.
Hardly" you would say, IAN ex-
change to absolve one from reciprocal
ing: but 1t was not intended to do
that. It was just an attempt to evade
the law of lore. to live up to the letter
while violating the spirit. For it is
written or rather cut into the pages
Of superstition that a gift of knife or
scissors cutteth in twain the love or
friendship between him that giveth
and him that receiveth.
Among the middle classes during
the reign Of Elizabeth in England, the
staple for wedding gifts was a pair Of
scissors. Those who ventured into the
bonds OF matrimony were bombarded
With scissors as q bridal couple today
IL with candlesticks and flower vases.
Let US hope they were good dodgers!
The purpose Of this gift was to arm
the prospective husband and wife
with a weapon for severing the knot
should it become painful. In the Ian.
Euage of the day:
Fortune doth give these paire of
knives to you.
To cut the thread of love if it be
untrue"
1t is easily comprehensive in the
light Of this knowledge that the gifts
Of scissors should have come into dis.
repute.

heel and toe. Look for . seam in
back, too, because unless they are
full fashioned they are apt to be
shapeless End loose fltting.
Most mems and boys hose are
made with fancy or contrasting tops.
OF course they add to the cost OF the
hose, and often you never see them.
because as many men wear their
knickers over their hose tops AZ wear
them underneath. Consider that point
when you're shopping. Fancy knits
are expensive and you &have to pay
for novelty effects. Shop wisely and
examine the fabric Of the hose before
you look at the pattern.
For Summer you can buy golf stock
ings made of silk and wool. They are
very light and cool. ana they give sat
isfactory service and wear. Cotton
and wool mixed golf hose rarely give
satisfactory wear. and they wash
poorly. Cotton-and- silk golf hose are
made for women, but O serious. defect
is the fact that the silk threads cut
the cotton Ones.
Golf hose are really economical, be-
cause they save you appreciable sums
on regular hosiery. They are built for
endurance, and 1t almost always pays
one to indulge merchandise which
combines rugged service with novelty
attractivenees.

The Trysting Place.

To return to Merton and Florence,
since the night Jean had seen them in
each others arms they had been more
careful about how they conducted
themselves when others were present.
However. they continued seeing each
other several times a week. Some.
times Merton would come to the house
for tea. but more often they would go
driving. sometimes alone and some
times with another couple.
Merton's attack OF conscience had
been short lived. There were very
few attractive women in Hamilton ex-
ceptirg at prom time. or when the col
lege gave a dance. and Florence was
very attractive. The fact that she
was a married woman added to the ex
element OF the game. 1t wasn't un.
pleasant. either. to be looked upon by
his fraternity brothers as a gay dog.
He rather liked it, and then, too, the
fact that Florence preferred him to
other men equally attractive gave him
sense Of power.
OF course. he reasoned that there
was no harm in it. Florence was not
of herself and was probably no more
serious than he was 1t was nothing
more than an interesting Irritation,
one that would terminate with his
graduation. In the meantime. what
was the use of worrying?
With Florence. however, IL was dit.
ferent. Merton's apparent eagerness
to see her had started a vague hope In
her heart. AS the days passed she
forgot to think about the difference in
their ages and began to believe that
he really cared. II he did love her, it
meant escape from Hamilton, escape
from the life she detested. And IL he
didn't love her now she would make
him care. '-%s
One thing that worried her was the
thought Of having the thing known.
1T would never do to have q. college
scandal. and besides it might ruin all
her plans. That was one reason why
she saw Merton outside Of the house,
nor would she let him call for her in
the car. 1t was too conspicuous. The
Grange lived just two doors away, and

Your Baby and Mine

ECZEMA.

In answer to Mrs. J. L.:
eczema. is a battling disease for the
very reason, that like asthma and hay
fever, hives, and others OF this ilk,
the exact rea son is sometimes difficult
to discover in particular cases Most
doctors seem to agree that healing
salves will not cure 1t. and that diet
being responsible for 1t. must be
altered before any cure can be perma.
nent. There are two types Of eczema.
dry and moist. 1t attacks both well
fed and malnourished children and Of
course the cure In such cases would be
entirely different.
1t is possible that II the baby Is
nursing baby and is doing very well
the cause may lie in a too rich breast
milk and that longer intervals between
feelings and the use of boiled water
before a nursing may help. If the
baby Is bottle fed the formula needs
altering and there seems no way to do
this except by experimenting. One
can cut down on the fat for a week
and see If this makes any appreciable
improvement In the eczema II 1t does
not. the sugar contents may be re.
duced materially and watch this re.
action for week. 1t is a matter
purely Of trying to discover what ele-

Healing salves should be made use

THE MARRIAGE MEDDLER
By HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

Florence was we'll aware of the fact
that Elsie did not like her. Then
there was that catty Mrs. Jefferson
who lived next door. She was the
wife OF the astronomy professor and
the worst gossip in Hamilton.
She did not worry so much about
her own family. Richard went about
with his head In the clouds anyway.
and. 1t was unlikely that Mrs. Morgan
would ever hear Of 1t, or Con. Jean
might suspect. but, on the other hand.
she would never tell. Florence could
have banked on Jeans loyalty. and
yet she knew that her young sister
in-law disliked her.
The times that Merton called at the
house for her he usually brought an
other couple with him. The man was
Andy Patterson and the woman was a
Mrs. Eldredge, who lived on the out
skirts of the town. Cynthia Eldredge
was a widow who had for some reason
continued to live in Hamilton after
her husbands death. She had an in
come of sorts. and because she was
young and attractive took rather an
active part in the college life. She
entertained the boys a great deal and
was rather frowned upon by the more
conservative element of the town. She
managed to have a good time. how
ever, and was doubtless relieved at
not having to take any active part in
faculty affairs. Florence liked her,
but was jealous of her freedom.
Cynthia had to account to no one in
the world. She was her own mis-
tress.
One afternoon Florence departed di-
rectly after lunch for Cynthia's. 1t
vas rather a long walk. and as she
walked briskly along she lamented the
fact that they did not own a car
They could perfectly well afford 1t on
Richards income. but he thought 1t
foolish extravaganza. How little he
understood her. and yet he professed
to be in love with her. But Merton,

interested, how different he was. She
was going to see him that afternoon.
They had arranged to meet at

ing. If habit or training be the ex'
PLANTATION, then right handedness is an
instinct. Psychologists have recently
proved that INSTINCTS may be developed
by training. The great Russian physi.
ologist, Pavlov, trained a number OF
white mice to answer the dinner bell.
1t required 500 lessons to train them
to know and respond TO the CALL tHat
is, their feeding and the ringing OF
the bell were combined 500 times be-
fore the mice would run to the feed
ing place when the bell rang. The
next generation Of these mice learned
to respond to the call Of the bell after,
only 100 lessons. The third genera
ton Of the mice learned to do 1t after
80 lessons. A fourth generation
learned after only 10 lessons.
l suspect Prof. Pavlov Is skilled
author When he arrives at this
breathless point In his story he-well,
he might as well have said Ito be
continued next month" He actually
said, 1.-THE last generation which
saw before leaving Petrograd learned
the lesson after five repetitions. The
sixth generation will be tested after
my return. think it very probable
that after some time a new genera
ton of mice will run to the feeding
place on hearing the bell with no
previous lesson
Now that was in an address Pavlov
delivered in America in July. 1928.
Maybe the cat ate up all the mice
meanwhile.
Instincts are the result of educa-

Buying Golf Hose.

You may not play golf, and still
you may wear the costume. Golf
clothing is comfortable. serviceable
and good looking. Golf hose espe-
cially have come into general favor
and use.
Your own golf hose should be light
in weight and made to Withstand
three things-rough wear. perspira-
ton and many washings. Wool hose
are the best. They are certainly the
longest wearing and most suitable for
rough wear. and they will wash well
IL you treat them considerably. Buy
them loose fitting, because they're
bound to shrink. An extra half size
or larger Is desirable.
Practically the same buying points
apply to husbands and children's
golf hose. For Summer wear light
colors are coolest. and loose knitted
hose are most comfortable. The dark.
fuzzy hose are only suitable for cool
weather wear. Camel's-hair hose are
warm. but they feel so soft that
many men and women prefer to sacri-
flee GOODNESS in order to get this won
derful texture.
Your own golf hose should be made
with tops that extend we'll above the
knees. Firm reinforcement at the
top hens is desirable. All golf hose
