dangers of a serious illness. The ease
with which they will recover will
depend very largely on the character
and regularity of the nutrition that
they received in their earlier years.
Their dispositions will be rather

studious and will always derive more

| saw you. Do you believe in love at
first sight?"
Jean lifted her face toward him, and
for a long moment they looked deep
into each others eyes. Dimly she
was conscious of the fact that she
wasn't thinking about this matter.
She was impatient Of such a thing as
deliberate thought. She knew nothing
about this man save one thing that
was enormously important. He had
made her feel as she had never felt
before. Nothing else seemed to matter.
His big hands were on her shoul-
ders, drawing her toward him. she
could feel them tremble as he gath
cred her close. His lips on hers made
the world shake under her feet. the
stars through the treetopS overhead
were blurred.
So this was love, this Incompatible

Mix two Neufchatel cheeses with
one cupful of grated American
cheese. and when creamed together
add six olives, stoned and chopped
fine, and one teaspoonful of chopped
pimento. Season well with salt and
pepper, moisten with cream and mold
into balls an inch and a quarter
through. Pimolas, which are olives
stuffed with pimentos, can Of course
be used if more convenient, and a
few drops of onion extract or a very
little onion juice will add to the

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Canned Fruits and Vegetables.

Those of my readers who live in
very small towns, bereft of the ad
vantages of the city markets, with
their foods of green vegetables the year
around. are always at a loss as to how
to get fresh vegetables for their chill
dren. Frequently they ask g canned
vegetables are as good as fresh ones
and if they can make use of them.
At a recent meeting of the New
York Medical Association one of the
doctors made the statement that
fruits and vegetables do not lose ap
preciably of their vitamin content
through canning. 1t has heretofore
been thought that vitamin &, con
tanned in fruits and green vegetables,
and an element most necessary to our
bodily welfare, was lost when the fruit
or vegetable was boiled. The doctor
says:
Foods sealed in cans before heat
ing and then heated for long period
at high temperatures suffer much less
in destruction of vitamins than when
cooked in open kettles
SO that one may be quite sure now
that when fresh vegetables cannot be
procured good brand of canned vege-
tables will be just as beneficial for the
child. This does not mean, neceSSa-
rily, that one should give up fresh
vegetables and take to canned ones.
but one should not deny oneself Vege
tables in the mistaken belief that they
are faulty in food or vitamin value.
Another interesting observation has
to do with bananas. This same doe
tore claims that the banana is as great
a protection against scurvy, disease
brought about by lack in the diet of
the vitamin c mentioned above, as
the orange or tomato. We have
been accustomed to give a baby, fed
exclusively on canned foods. a daily
portion of tomato juice or orange
juice as "a protection against the loss
of vitamin G.
bananas also contain both vitamin
and B and are notably rich in car
bohydrateS. SO whatever else one
may say for the banana or against it,
il can never he accused of being in
any way lacking in nutrition.

THE EMARRIACE MEDDLER
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR

When he took her back to the BAN
room there was an understanding be
tween them. He had not asked her
in SO many words to he his wife but
that made no difference. each knew
the truth. For her he was the one
man in all the world, for him she was
the one woman.
The rest of the evening passed like
dream To Jean. She was conscious
of dancing and of talking apimatedly,
but she scarcely saw the features Of
the men who We're her partners, nor
was she aware of what she said.
There was only one incident of The
evening that remained in her memory.
1t happened after supper and she was
sitting out the dance with Merton i'm
dim nook off the ballroom. ON other
occasions she had managed such
things lightly, but tonight Merton q
fumbing attempt to kiss her reused
| her to fury. ImpulSively she raised
her hand and struck him across the
face. 1t was not hard blow. but it's
tffect upon Merton was none the less
startling. lie drew back as if he had
been shot. and, conscience stricken.
Jean smiled and put out her hand to
him apOlogetically.
Sorry, old dear: / shouldn't have
done that, | know"
But her action had hurt his pride
and when he took her back to the fra
ternitE house there WAS cloud be-
tween them. Jean was sorry for this
After all. she had accepted Merton's
invitation: she was his guest And
just because she hadn't wanted him 20
kiss her it hadn't been necessary 20
strike him.
Once upstairs in her room. however
she stood by the window. and as The
first faint StreakS of dawn began To
spread across the sky she forgot
everything else in the wonder of what
had happened To her. Once she would
have laughed at such a thing as love
at first sight; she would have called It
n tigment of the imagination, useful
10 nOveliStS. but not true To life. Now
that ii had happened to her. she WAS
ready To believe anything.
Jessie StOrned into the room aS
fresh and radiant as she had been at
the beginning of the evening. She
was full Of artless remarks and rirIiSh
condolences.

hemlock trees-tiny little trees that
We're just getting started. In that
nest were 10 eggs. Mrs. Grouse, of
course. had to sit on those eggs to
keep them warm in order that the
baby Grouse she was looking forward
to might hatch out. She left those
eggs only long enough to stretch her
legs and to get something to eat. l
am afraid that she hurried her eating
somewhat. for she always was most
anxious to get back to those precious
eggs.
Now, although those eggs were quite
well hidden, there always was the
chance that some one with love Tor
a. Grouse dinner. or an egg dinner,
would come along that way and dis
cover them. Mrs. Goruse knew this,
and, while she sat on those precious
eggs, she watched and listened for the
approach of an enemy and wondered
what she would do if one should come
that way.
1t was late one afternoon that she
had the chance to find out what she
would do. AS she sat there, looking
and listening. she heard the patter of
feet on dry leaves. Those feet were
coming nearer. In a momnt or two
she discovered Old Man Coyote. Old
Man Coyote was hunting, for he kept
putting his nose to the ground, exam
ing each old stump. poking his head
into each clump of young trees as he
came along. 1t looked as if he would
pass very close to Mrs. Grouse. She
began to shiver. What should she do?
Should she. try to slip off those eggs
and run away? Should she take to
her stout wings? She could surely
escape that way. She wanted to do it.
You have no idea how much she
wanted to do it, But there were those
precious eggs. She felt that they were
a sort of trust. She alone was re-
SuonSible for them. ii an: harm came

THE BEAUTY OF THE BRILLIANT
ACCESSORIES Is ENHANCED
BY THE BLACK OF THE. cos
TUNE
il is an expression in itself and has
q definite meaning. But thousands
of women in this country wear black,
either all the time or much of it, for
TIVE reasons: First. because it tends
10 make a figure appear slender, and
second. because black is a standard
color and always in vogue. A black
gown is not recognized as of last sea
sons wardrobe by its hue. as hap
pens IL other cOlOred gowns fire.
quently Moreover, the black dress
can be rcmodeled as long as there is
enough good material to pay to do
the work. In its modified guise it
passes without detection as q new
gown.
In order for Americans to use black
effectively they should take a leaf
from the Frenchwomens cOstuming
ideas. They wear black in preference
to any other color. But they wear it
as a background for color, not as a
color in itself. They give light and
gayety by accessories. They get di-
VerSity in costuming by the numerous
sets of these accessories which they
have for the express purpose. For
example. scarf and hat or a bag and

while the scarf next the face is sure
to be the sort to make any latent

Simple and Elegant.
If Parisienne feels it is more ap-
propriate to the occasion to dress a
bit subdued she dons collar and cuffs
of beautiful lace that lend charm to
her individuality and a note of filmi-
ness about her face and hands. A
scarf with the ends in brilliant motifs
that accord in some subtle way with
an ornament or bit of trimming on
her hat may complete the ensemble.
There is no hint of a depressing ma
ture about such coStuming.
French Accessories.
One reason why French accessories
are of such beauty and of such eX-
quisite coloring is that they are actu-
ally of vital Importance in the realm
of dress where black is featured so
decidedly in gowns. One has but to
live among the French in Paris to
appreciate the relative value of acces-
sories to costuming. Here we delight
in handsome appointments for cos
tunes. but they are sometimes
thought to be bits of extravaganza
rather than necessities. In Paris the
accessories are of equal Importance
They are needed with black gowns.
Since the French are distinctly artiS
tic, they excel in beauty of costuming
They are clever. too. and thrifty

Manicure Tips.

II you are a very busy person and
have little time to spare for the
routine daily beauty treatments for
hair, nails. or such things, some of
these hints may help you.
Manicuring. for instance, can take
up lot of time If you haven't learned
how to make short work of it. Use
all the short cuts; for instance, twice
week-I'd not advise 1t oftener-go
over the nails with an orange wood
stick wrapped in a little cotton and
dipped in any of the good cuticle sol
vents. These remove the dead cuticle
from the finger nails and bleach away
stains. If you go around the edges
of the nails Immediately after using
the solvent with the end of your nail
file, you will take the dead cuticle off
clean and leave the nails smooth and
nice looking.
Use cream after you have washed
off the solves, for all creams are dry
ing. even the best of them. If you
don't use a cream, the skin will be so
dry it will form hang nails and you
will be worse off than you were before.
You can use nail varnishes too, if
you are careful and buy only the very
best quality. Some Of these come with
pink tint to them which is very
becoming, and the good ones have, or
should have, a varnish remover. The
stuff must be taken off once week
and then applied fresh, otherwise it
