For After-SchooI Dresses

There's nothing like a change
of clothes for recreation. The
carpenter or painter can't really
begin to enjoy his off hours
till he's out of his overhallS.
And the same idea applies to
the high school girl. AS soon
as school is over, she likes to
discard her simply tailored
everyday dress and put on
something cheerful and care
free.
And at this time of year
with spring fever in the air,
young girls are all yearning
for new after-school dresses.
For spring fever is a longing
for adventure and a new dress
is adventure. It's a part of
every girls birthright. And
you'll surely feel you've made a
thrilling discovery in the ones
we've Sketched above. just let
us tell you what they're like.
Even Dltterent PieatS
For afternoons when there's
bridge planned or when you're
going to a friends for dinner
informally, nothing could be
more suitable than the center
dress. Double rows of spaghetti
like loops dangle interestingly
off the edge of the short loose
sleeves. The neckline couldn't
help become nearly anyone, for
it's draped in soft folds across
the front and held by fluffy
flowers. You'll notice that one
of the flowers contrasts and
that the same color is repeated
in the sash. Nearly everything
about this chic little dress is
different-even the skirt. Yes,
it's pleated-like many skirts
of the newest dreSses-but the
pleats are in a cluster and
they're released on the diagonal
by a long Slanted seam. Can
ton crepe is the fabric and
there's dusty rose or chaIky
blue or lovely beige to choose
from. The price is under $12.
Here's Something Clever
The last dress is a very spe-
cial ard exciting find! It isn't
the fact that it's made of
sheer crepe, fashionable as that
is these days. And it isn't the
quarter inch tucks that reach
from one end of the shoulder
to the other, and make the
neckline smartly high in a most
individual manner. Nor the
tries little contrasting sleeves
that so uniquely carry out the
print-and-plain fashion.

In Opera
Well, Lily Lou didn't care.
Not while she was earning two
hundred and expenses every
week and the Bubchen was
rosy and blooming, waiting for
her in New York.
After that there was Toscani
Opera company, a third-rate
company that played what Tony
called tank towns and beer
halls" He got her into it
when it became evident that
her absence with Mailman had
cost her the small parts she
had been promised at the Met
ropolitan.
She wasn't very grateful.
She would have preferred to
stay in New York, and be
with the baby. She never
knew that Tony spent half a
years salary buying the place
for her. The Toscani Opera
company did not pay its So
pranos. 1t allowed them to
pay. And Tony never knew
that she had to put down an
additional $500 for costumes.

1t wasn't a very successful
season. Toscani did little more
than break even. She was mad
with joy to get back to Robin
too big to be called Bubchen
now-beginning to totter around
on little fat legs, and to say
things that nobody but she
and Tina, the nurse, could un'

But she went back for an
other season, and when at the
end of two years touring
Toscani disbanded the company
and retired to eat spaghetti

Should She Apologize?

Should She Apologize?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A young man has been very
attentive to me and has taken
me to a number of shows. The
last time we went out together
to a play my mother asked me
about what time I would be
home, and I said I'll o'clock"
She said all right, that she
and my brother would wait
up and would have sandwiches
and coffee for us. Well, after
the show, the young man sug-
geSted that we take little
ride, but I said that I couldn't
because mother would be wait
ing for us. He was a little
glum about it, but took me
home and mother had a nice
supper for us which he seemed
to enjoy. Since then. however,
haven't seen him, and I am
afraid that he is hurt or some
thing because 1 didn't go for
the ride. Do you think I should
call hir2 up and apologize, or
write him a note and invite
him to the house? EDITH.
I really can't understand,
Edith, why young men take
these contrary turns. There
you are a perfectly nice girl,
with a kind, hospitable mother
who does everything in her
power to be nice to the young
man, ar he doesn't appreciate
it. OF course, it won't make
you feel any better if I say
that he has been very rude,
but if he is merely sulky be-
cause he couldn't have his own
way about the ride, that is my
opinion. If he we're the right
sort of boy, he would be glad
to have you so considerate of
your mother. No, don't think
of calling him on the phone,
or writing him a note.
Neglected Her at the Party
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of II, still going
to high school. Not long ago
met boy whom I learned to
care a great deal for, and he
invited me out a number of
times. I also invited him to
my home. Last week I went to
a party with him and he didn't
pay any attention to me, but
rushed another girl the whole
evening, I haven't seen him
since, and I would like to ask
your advice as to whether I
should take steps to see him
again or just forget him. 1
really like him so much it would
be difficult to forget him. This
other girl is my chum, and only
likes him as an acquaintance.
The only reason can think of
for his losing interest in me is
that I am firmly opposed to
petting and wild parties, and
he likes both. RUTH.
I hope you are not going to
take any steps about seeing
this boy who treated you so
rudely at the party. He evi-
IDENTIFY thought you were too
nice a girl to go with him to
wild parties. Don't tell your
girl chum anything about how

Good morning, Doctor, or
Good morning, Mrs. Jones'" or
should DR.. Jones or Mrs. Jones
say good morning first?
2. Also when setting a table,
should the salad fork or the
meat fork be placed next to the
plate? Or should the salad
fork be placed on the outside?
KITTY.
/. The master or mistress of
the home should say Good
morning, Mary" to the maid,
and then she answers that
greeting.
And, by the way, if the mas
ter of the house is a doctor the
maid should be taught not to
say, Good morning, Doctor"
but Good morning, Doctor
Jones'" We should on no occa-
sion leave off the name after
the title doctor.
2. The silver pieces are placed
on the table in the order in
which they are to be used. That
is, so that the guest can start
with the silver piece farthest
from the plate, and proceed
toward the plate.
Let us suppose that you are
setting your table for this
menu: Soup, roast, salad. (The
dessert silver is brought in
afterward) On the right of
the plate, farthest from the
plate, is the soup spoon. Next
to it, on the right, nearer the
plate is the dinner knife, and
if you place a salad knife with
your salad fork for use in the
salad course, the salad knife
is placed nearest the plate on
the right. Then on the left
would be. first and farthest from
the plate, the dinner fork.
Then, nearest the plate, the

Your Words
Had you put in my hand q
lighted lamp
My way would not be so
plain
AS now, with your words to
pilot me
To the hills of hope again,
For your words are brave and
your words are high
AS they tell of the better
things
Which I had forgotten for
many a day,
And they lend to my thoughts
new wings.
Oh, your words are wise and
your words are true;
They are kindly words and
sweet,
And they lead me up from the
depths I trod,
A shining lamp for my feet!
Your words are strong as a
taliSman
To guard me from all I fear,
So I murmur them over and
over again,
Your words that are wholly
dear.
Had you put in my hands a

They would have meant less
to me
Than the words you spoke which
have stirred my heart
And healed me and set me

CHAPTER SO

It took Lily Lou just five
years to reach her goal, the
Metropolitan. Five years ON
the time she came to New
York, a frightened, but deter
mined girl.
After the concert trip with
Madame Mailman it was COM
paratively easy sailing. There
was the matter of "the hole"
in Nahlman's voice. To cover
it, Lily Lou was allowed to join
in two numbers, singing in
high, flute-like obligato to one,
a lower, grooming melody to the
other.
When she got too much APP
plause Mailman would fly into
a tantrum, threaten to get a
more competent accompaniSt,
and there would be uncomfort-
able hours. But few audiences
noticed Lily Lou particularly.
They had come to hear Nahl-
man, and old and tired as she
was, with a "hole" in her mid

Your Health
And Diet

By LOGAN CLENDENNING, M. D.
In a boarding school near
Edinburgh, in Scotland. about
five years ago, a curious cpl
demic Of pink eye kept recur-
ring among the pupils. Pink
eye is the common name for
conjunctivitis, an inflammation
Of the external membrane of
the eyeball. No form of treat
ment relieved the conjunctivitis
in this epidemic at all.
Finally one of the physicians
decided to investigate the food
supply. 1t was found that to
save expense the food was pre-
pared in cauldronS and boiled
for three or four hours, destroy
ing the vitamins. DR.. G. M.
Findlay, who made this discov-
cry and reported the epidemic
in the proceedings of the Royal
Society of Medicine, recon-
mended that all the scholars
have daily doses of raw swede
juice and cod liver oil. On this
treatment alone the epidemic
promptly cleared up.
Eye Trouble
Vitamin A seems to be par
ticularly concerned with the
eye. When it is deficient in
the diet a disease called "xer-
ophthalmia" results. 1t is quite
rare in humans, however, as
any average diet contains good
portions of vitamin A. It is con-
tained in milk, butter, cheese,
egg yolk. cod liver oil, liver,
kidney and roe. carrots, cab
bage, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes,
bananas and turnip greens. 1t
is destroed by prolonged con-
tact with the open air and long
heating in open vessels.
Vitamin A is one of the vita
minis that the body stores in its
own tissues. The retina of the
eye is rich in Vitamin A, and
also the liver. Illness destroys
the amount of Vitamin A In the
liver, the longer the illness the
greater the loss, so that during
convalescence patients should
be fed good quantities Of sub
stances containing this vitamin.
The liver of the new born baby
is poor in Vitamin A, and the
diseases due to the deficiency
of the vitamins are particularly
likely to occur during infancy.
A Recent Discovery
Other effects of diet on the
eye are noted by Lane in a re-
cent contribution. Hameralo-
pia, or decreased vision, especl-
ally at night, as a result OF
dietary deficiency. Extensive
epidemics of this condition have
been reported, especially in pop
ulations in which the dietary is
lacking in fresh foods during
the winter months. Hemeralo-
pia Enthusiastically develops
in the spring months, due partly
to prolonged lack of green food
stuffs and partly to the exces-
sive stimulation of the spring
sunlight.

much you miss him, but start
out right now to forget him and
have a good time with your
other friends. If he comes
back and is ready to treat you

don't<humiiate yourself by call

who teaches in a -ollege here.
He is 27 years old and has

but has never asked to go
steady" with me. The fact
is that he is very popular.
Lately 1 haven't been out with
him at all, and I miss him
dreadfully. When I happen to
meet him he is very nice, but
never mentions a date. I see
him every Sunday in church.
used to think he cared for me,
but now I am not so sure.
M. E.
I wouldn't put too much
hope into waiting for this
young man. Like all teachers,
he is probably a highly inter-
esting person to the girl stu
dents, and being rather young,
is flattered and bewildered by
their attention. Keep in touch
whit your own school friends;
have as good a time as you
can: and of course be pleasant
to the young man when you
meet him. but don't show too
plainly your devotion.
