who was one of the richest and
most distinguished of all the city

1t was in the pantry one day
where Daphne had gone with a
bowl of sliced cucumbers that she
almost ran into Tom Cramer-car-

They narrowly missed letting
dishes and cucumbers fall crash

had to be postponed. So Daphne
arranged to meet TON that eve

as waiter were over.

chanting aspect to the contrast
theme. A ruby-colOred lace frock,
per example, has a pale pink yoke,
or frOck of black lace is topped
with flesh-colOred lace.
Another channel of expression
for contrast effects is the jacket
costume, which may be as formal
or informal as occasion demands.
For evening it is ultra smart to
wear little jacket which contrasts
the dress. The bolerO or hip-length
jacket of velvet, either in black or
a delectable bright hue, is especially
highlighted in the mode Very new
and very lovely is the little lace
jacket which contrasts its color to
the frOck over which it is posed.
In the sports realm this contrast

and one-piece dress, is done to a
finish. Plaids and stripes with
plain compete with bi-colOr and tri-
color combinations.

OF COURSE, the fresh vege-
~ tables are far ore attractive
and usually of more food value than
the canned variety. But in the win
ter when cold weather makes more
fuel needed to keep the house
warm, so more fuel is needed in the
body to keep up the right heat.
Protein foods of all kinds as well
as sugar and fats are needed for
heat and energy. Vegetables are
needed to balance the diet, or too
much acidity results from the eat
ing of proteins.

and just enough water to cook the

ferent weaves, the style program,
whether for day or evening, places
the accent on contrast.
The superbly styled satin eve
ming gown in the picture interprets
the trend to striking contrast at it's
best. Katya Sorina, the young Rus
sian dancer who has been signed
up to appear in radio pictures,
wears this dress to perfection. The
haute couture of Paris continues to
do wonderful things with satin in
the evening mode, the latest move
ment being to contrast black and
white, as instanced In the hand

The dress with a light top, wheth-

infinite opportunity for putting the
law of contrast into practice. The

been known to change their minds

Concerning Dreams

Dreams are not, as rule, any
thing to worry about. But if one
has Nightmares regularly, and a
change in habits-such as cutting
out late suppers or exciting read
ing last thing at night-fails to
stop them, it may be as well to see
a doctor. Dreams may be a warn
ing-though not in the dream-book
sense. They do sometimes reveal
weak points in the constitution, or
the presence of disease, when the
dreamer suspects nothing wrong.

0T SHALL certainly have a fit,
Daphne Bronson had an
nounced to her father as she stood
before him in the big timbered liv-
ing room in their mountain home.
II mean it-I shall have a perfect
fit" and she stamped her foot and
shook her close-cropped curls at
him. But the Obdurate father
who lOked absurdly young and
decidedly good-natured under the
circumstances-told her that he
wouldn't change his mind.
Perhaps Daphne was justified in
feeling as angry as she did. Per-
haps her father was behaving in a
brutal, unciviliZed way, as she
said. AS a matter of fact he re-
fused point-blank to give Daphne
enough money to buy a railroad
ticket back to the city and saw to
it that none of her friends who
were returning by motor should
give her a lift. 1t was a matter
of twelve hours by rail. And
Daphne had only a few dollars in
her purse and never had possessed
such a thing as a bank account.
Mr.. Bronson knew, of course, why
Daphne wanted to go back to the
city. She wanted to see George
Fisher-a young man whom she
had promised to maryland whom
Mr.. Bronson regarded with com
plete and almost violent dislike.
Mr.. Bronson might have told
Daphne a few things about her
dear George that would have cured
her infatuation quite promptly.
SO Daphne kept her promise and
proceeded to "have fits"-which
process consisted of going one day
to the hotel in the mountains and
without announcing or trying spe-
cially to hide her identity asking
the chef for work She could work
for several hours every morning or
every afternoon, she told him, and
she accepted position as sort
of extra vegetable peeler.
For a while at least no one did
suspect that the pretty young girl
who came every morning to the

1t is distinguished by a very new

fact an exponent of ultra-modish
fashiOning.
