work, can cause loss of weight.
Heredity, worry, business. fretfulness
can wears away the precious pounds.
But as rule it is due to insufficient
eating.
There are two sorts of thin people
One group is made UP of people who
work very hard and do not get enough
nourishment to replace the energy
used up. The others are those whose
appetite is too quickly satisfied-whose
desire to eat Is satisfied before the
body has taken in enough fuel, whose
eating results too quickly in ''stuffy'
feeling. There Is really a third group
who may be eating plentifully but are
not eating the right foods.
| Those who suffer from STIFFNESS
may take light luncheon of choco
| late or matted milk and then a cur
of chocolate between breakfast and
luncheon and another one between
luncheon and dinner. Some light
nourishing collation. before going to
bed might also help.
| However, those who think they are
eating abundantly and still continue
thin should examine their diet to see
IL they are eating the right foods BE
sure in such case to take UP q sup

serts, sauces, cereals. Put plenty oil

sugar-figs, raisins, dates, grapes, ba

OF course, be sure that these foods
are properly balanced. Do not eat toe

gard to supplying all the other ele
ments the body needs. If you art

been rather careless about the sort
of costumes they chose for church.
And since the Pope has come forward
with criticism of the kind OF dress
that many women choose Tor attend
ing church services the French dress
makers have blamed not themselves
but the woman, for their seeming lack
of modesty.
And now since women--or At least
many OF them--have shown such lack
of ability to choose suitable clothes
for church wear. definite rules have
been laid down for them. The Queen
of Spain has gone so far az to pre-

her court attending mass at court.
High collars, sleeves to the wrists and
long skirts are included in these
gowns made OF pale gold cloth inter

and hanging over the shoulders. this
uniform ougat to be worn with much

progressive Of the French dressmak-
ers are now designing frocks especially
suitable for church wear.
Long sleeves and fairly high necks
are part of the present daytime mode
for all occasions. The frock made for
church wear must add to these de.
tails a skirt that Is rather longer than
usual. Plain material of dark or
not too striking color is usually
chosen. 1t must be simple without

Churchmen who have voiced their

at the way the dressmakers have bent
their energies toward making clothes
that are really appropriate for church

Irene Unmasks.

With Jessica's departure. Irene's
glad certainly suddenly deserted her
Mark was - strangely silent.
At first she had had visions of being
| alone with him. She had intended to
suggest that they wait till the next
| day to depart. But there was some
| thing disconcerting about him, some
thing that robbed her of her assur
ance. OF course. there was no reason
why they shouldn't wait till the next
| day. If Mrs. Morse had been suffi
Client chaperon for Mark and Jessica
she would serve very well for Mark
| and herself.
They had returned to the living
room and Irene had flung herself into
a chair. Mark walked restlessly about
| the place, looking out Of windows into
the darkness, apparently absorbed in
himself and his thoughts.
After a time she spoke:
What Is it, Mark"
He turned to her eagerly.
I'm disappointed, ! guess. You
see, had expected to keep her from
making a fool of herself"
You don't like this man."
Like him? l should say not. Do
you? Why, that child has dreams

wonderful woman. She has infinite
possibilities. I've failed with her. OF
course, / told her aunt that a wild
project like this would never work out,
but she wouldn't listen to me-
And then Irene knew the truth,
quite simply and suddenly, as though
she must have known 1t subcon-
sciously for some time. Mark didn't
love her. He loved Jessica. Whether
he was aware of 1t himself she didn' I

| know, but he must be brought to a
realization Of his own feelings.
And then, as was quite natural.
Irene's thought turned to herself.
Would she be very unhappy giving
him up? Just how much did he mean
in her life? She had thought, of
course, that it might be very charm
ing to be his wife. But did she care
so much that to do without him would
make her miserable? Since her meet
ing with him she had met two other
men who had been agreeable and
charming to her. One in particular
felt. as women always do, that he
cared for her. but she had been care.
full not to encourage him. because she
had felt that Marks intentions were
serious. Mark had a glamour about
him, due perhaps to his foreign
travels.
Aside from that. would her life be
wrecked If he went out of 1t? She
doubted it very much, and Irenes
business experience made her fair
enough to admit this fact frankly.
During these moments of realiza
ton she could have cried because OF
the sudden involuntary glimpse she
had had Of herself. She wasn't the
type built for "grande passion" She
was too calm. too sure. to go drifting
off into uncharted waters. She wanted
quiet enjoyment and peace of mind
much more than she wanted feverish
uncertainty, and she had believed that
Mark wanted the same, Now she
wasn't at all sure. He seemed like a
stranger to her.

just discovered something"
He turned from the window to look
at her. his lips forming question.
Whats that?"
''Our engagement was mistake
We're not really in love. Did it ever
occur to you that you're head over
heels in love with Jessica. You are,
you know. Think ii over"
Mark stood there staring at her, an
expression of the most utter amaze
ment on his face. He opened his lips
to protest, but before he could speak
Irene went on talking:
II must have known 1t before, but
tonight convinced me. You're not so
much worried about Jessica's wreck.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELpRED

Mrs. r. l. writes: My 17-month-
old baby boy 81 starting to have bow
legs. He is bottle fed and I under
stand now that ] should have given
him cod liver oil, He now gets
teaspoontul three times day.
The baby seems to have no other
signs Of ricketts,, but his left leg curves
in when he walks. Is this enough oil
daily to cure this trouble?
The baby refuses to eat vegetables.
He gets a quart of lactose daily and
cereal, moetened with, prune or fig
Juice. He takes beef broth about
twice a week | will appreciate any
suggestions.
Answer-The amount Of cod liver
oil should be enough. In addition |
would try to give the baby sun bath
daily, letting the sun pour on his
small legs.
The diet should be as perfect as
possible and would suggest you
write me for the feeding leaflet so
that you can check up on what you
are now giving. Manage to use the
vegetables, either in a custard, or in
soup.
Even If you strain them out of the
soup the baby will get the benefit of
the juices Of the vegetables and he
needs this.
He should have one egg daily and
either orange or tomato juice. All OF
these combined with the cod liver oil
and daily sunlight will quickly effect
a cure.
A reader writes: MY baby is 90
months old and cannot walk. She can
walk in a walker but when we let loose
her hands she sits down on the floor
and will not try. Please tell me what
to do. She has slept all night since
she was 3 months old and has never
had any trouble with her food. She
has also had cod liver oil"
Answer-Read above answer to Mrs.
T. L., as In some ways it fits your
case also. If the baby is strong
enough to walk with a walker she
should be strong enough to walk
alone. Obviously something must be
wrong with her diet, even though
there has never been anything that
seemed wrong. Follow the above d.
rections. There Is really little else
that can be done. since the baby has
| the power to move her legs, but Just
does not seem strong enough to stand
on them without support. 1t sounds
very much like ricketts,.
