Smart sports frocks of worstet,
jersey and heavy bemberg a1e
among the offerings for the school
girls autumn wardrobe. And
those who are wise will look them
over carefully, for there are subtle
differences that mark them as very
latest-or not. New collar and
belt effects, for example.
One adaptation OF both features

wardrobe-a soft rose-red jersey
that buttons to the neck with red
pearl buttons and has an odd
double belt effect fastening across
the center front with red pearl
BUCKLES. Similar straps and buckles
also trim the sleeves.
And what do you think Gwen
Lee wears with this frock? The
newest sports socks in deep red
silk, cut out at the front and laced
Ike. oid-fashioned high shoes!
They give just the right finishing
touch to the costume, however,
and-we thinh--are extremely in

Once more Brennan looked Simon
Judd in the face. What he sought
was the eye of an insane man-the
eye Of man who might have come
to this house and murdered John
Drane TO make case worth solving.
Or, perhaps, the eye of a man who
had held a grudge against John
Drane and had come here to satisfy
Il. What he saw, If he could judge,
was the keen eye Of a man who was
not such a fool as he looked, the keen
laughing eye of man who, possibly;
was laughing at the detective good
paturedly while laughing at himself.
@This," Brennan said to himself, is
a man who is Laughing at me because,
he knows something don't know !!

Speaking of ultraviolet ray
treatments for children and
grown-ups-Did you know forty
million hens now use these same
rays and prove their efficacy by
yielding 40 to 50 per cent more
eggs?
Science has discovered hens lay
best when exposed directly to tho
suns ultraviolet rays which they
receive in ample quantity during
summer. In fall and winter, how
ever, little or none reaches them,
for violet rays cannot penetrate
through ordinary glass into the
hen house.
Therefore, Science presents the
hens with special windows Of a
translucent material that does
transmit the health-giving rays.
And presto-the deed is done, The
new windows" are strongly con-
structed over wire base, can be
bought by the foot, and installed
without expert help.
To the many farm women who
have experimental long with egg
laying formulas, this knowledge
that concentrated sunlight is all a
good hen needs is most encourag-
ing.

Brennan said. There are better.

Judd agreed. "And we amt got Il

can't remember any man who took
ap investigative work at that age,
but I've known some men who
took lip crime as old as that and
did quite we'll at it."
"a detective has to be slicker
than criminal, that's the pest of
it." Simon Judd said "And it's
so blame hard for them folks to

mostly chung to jobs where he

laughed Brennan.

chuckled. particular if he's not

Materials of the Millinery

While felt will undoubtedly re-.
main the favorite for the tailored
mode and velvet for dressier ocea-
sions, there is an interesting show
ing of felt and velvet combi,ec,
with a tendency to use two colr's
together. Velvets are of the Panne
variety; felts are very p!lable,
often of the long, silky-haired ,ype
that is so durable. Royal ne.

A Reply

A good neighbor, J. E. B., OF
Dorchester, Mass, writes that he
is rather surprised" at my state
ment that skins of fruits should be
left out of the dietary in colonc
disease and displacement. He
quotes an eminent dietitian, IN
proof that nothing could be more
beneficial aiding peristalsis
absorbing toxic waste than
skins of fruits and some vegeta-
I'm glad J. E. B. reads my ar
ticles, even in critical mood. If
nobody read them, I'd be very
lonesome. l do not believe our
GOOD editor would like disputes,
however, and there will be none
here, for both Of US are right we
are not thinking of the same man
that's all; J. z. B. has in mind
healthy mani, one with a patho-
logic colon.
Because a we'll man needs
"roughage" for the purposes
named above, would ! be JUSTIFIED
in feeding my typhoid fever pa
tient on a dietary of plum skins,
blackberry seeds, rinds of bananas
and the ike? I exaggerate, in or
der to make my meaning clear l
write from my own experiences,
mind you. never heard OF the
particular eminent dietitian you
mention; and if even he recon-
mends unmasticsted celery, pars,,
nip rinds, blackberry seeds and
baked apple peel for chronic CO.
litis. l wouldn't use It!
There is nothing in nature but
has its uses. An apple, eaten
"right off the cob" is one OF the
most wholesome fruits we have;
but catch me feeding one to an
acute Tor chronic) ileo-cohtis!
So, ]. E. B., we are both cor
rect: let the healthy man have
plenty of roughage, to stimulate
peristalsis, absorb toxic waste, and
did you say the skins often con-
tain more nourishment than the
fruit or vegetable itself? l see, by
referring to your good letter, that
you did-we disagree, The wealth
erboarding Of fruit is Cor protec-
tion-not to provide nourishment.
