NAL and vegetable foods.
When we eat green or yellow
vegetables, and certain red
ones-we get Vitamin A, which
turns into carotene-probably
in the liver. When we drink
milk, or eat eggs, or butter,
or liver or salmon, we get
Vitamin A itself, made from
the carotene in the green food
of the COW, hen, calf, pig,
lamb or fish, as the case may
be.
Without Vitamin A we would
be in a very bad way indeed.
There would develop infections
of the nose, throat, eyes, ears,
sinuses, and, in fact, of all the
Innings of the various glands
and internal organs of the body.
For Protection
As an extra protection against
these various ills, it is we'll to
give weak adults, and all chill
dren. some cod-liver oil, especial
ly during the more sunless
months. in order to provide
them with more of the valuable
. Vitamin A than the normal diet
contains.
If you have ever mixed paints,
you will know that the yellow
element is present in green, and
also in red-as we'll as in pure
yellow. Therefore, you may be
assured that the red pepper and
the tomato, as we'll as all the
great gamut of green vegetables,
contain Vitamin A potentially
in the form of carotene.
Of course, the yellow vege.
tables speak for themselves.
Carrots are the best of these,
for providing carotene, and
are followed closely by squash,
pumpkin, yellow turnips, sweet
potatoes, etc.
Among the leafy vegetables,
the greener they are, the more
carotene they hold Hence
cabbages are a better source
than the whittier heads. Collards
are good, and turnip greens,
too.
Regular Diet
These three may usually be
purchased throughout the win
ter, and are therefore worthy
of special consideration at this
time.
Green and red peppers are
equally good sources of carotene,

Her Father Objects
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
It was a case of love at first
sight when I met a young man
who is four years older than I
am. He is most anxious to
meet my father and discuss our
plans. But father was furious
when he heard of this and de.
clined to meet him.
He will not listen to reason;
he insists on my being a school
teacher, and thinks I should
not consider men or marriage.
Since my mother passed away
a few months ago, 1 have no
one to consult. Do you think
1 should break with the young
man who loves me as deeply as
I love him, or do you think my
father will ever listen to
reason? HEARTBROKEN.
You tell me your father plans
to make you a School-teacher
which would indicate you have
not yet prepared for that po-
sition. While you haven't told
me your age, l judge you can
not be more than II or 10,
which is pretty young to take
the bit in your teeth and fly in
the face of parental opposition.
You and the young man are
convinced you love each other
deeply. Why not put your love
to that most searching of all
tests-time? If you take the
training your father has
planned, surely he cannot OBJ
ject to your having young
friends come to see you occa-
Sionally. Be patient. Go along
with him for the time being at
least.

formal clothes. It's a season
of white gloves, with some
stunning gloves in colors mixed
in to make the whites look all
the whittier.
Try COIOred Gloves
Nothing could be smarter
than shirred cuff gloves of
French suede in shade of
green that is both subdued and
bright. with a plain black
gown, and an emerald clip.
Such gloves can be bought for
S. downtown, in a beautiful
quality. Or if you have no
note of color, then wear fine
white kids. and rhinestone clips
or bracelets.
Simply Cut
The gloves themselves are
simpler than they were last
season. We often went in for
novelty effects, stitching, piping,
bows, cut-outs, and what not.
We still have discreet trimming,
but the fineness of the kid or
the beauty of simple cut and
trimming are enough.
Our picture today shows a
pair of lovely 8-button gloves OF
soft white kid, worn for the
cocktail hour with a black velvet
or crepe gown. The gloves need
no ornamentation other than the
bracelets, for they are white,
and of rich quality. Yet they are
only $3.50.
Stones in three colors are
used with rhinestones for the
bracelets worn in the picture,
and they're glittering and color
full, but not too formal for a
cocktail gown. They are $l.95
each, in a local store.

Whether you can get any

Ry LIZ HUME

We have written frequently
of the SpitZ, one of the most
popular dogs, but we think the
story of the pet of Mrs. D. H.
Hardia, of Quantico, Va. is de-
serving of added space in our
column.
Mrs. Hardia's Spitz is named
Peggy and we have the word
of Peggy's mistress that she is
the smartest of dogs.
Writes Mrs. Hardia:
"She can stand up and walk
on her hind legs, shake hands,
sit up, and do numerous other
tricks. She learned all her
stunts in less than a week
without the aid of tidbits."
Peggy's favorite playmate is
a black cat. Mrs. Hardia has
another cat but the dog prefers
the black one. Probably since
she is so clever because she
likes the contrast of their black
and white fur.
Stories of friendships be-
tween dogs and cats are not
unusual although according to
Kipling's Just So Stories" the
two are traditional enemies.
1t depends entirely, of course,
on how the dog and cat are
trained. A puppy that has
been brought up with an ami
able feline playmate will al

is not borne out by the facts.

Naturally a dog will dislike
cats if he or she has been

or not, let me urge you to use
an atomizer for your bath CO.
logne. 1t certainly distributes
the fragrance nicely, and the
mere sensation of having the
cool, perfumed spray strike your
refreshed skin is certainly
worth the price Of an atomizer!
It's a grand, luxurious feeling to
step from your bathroom en-
veloped in a soft, subtle fra
GRANGE, with the assurance that
the fragrance so applied will
cling to you for hours after
ward.
Atomizers used to be the
height of luxury. but today they
are indispensable in the per-
feet grooming of the meticulous
beauty. All women know the
allure-value of a refreshing fra
GRANGE and how important it is
to have the fragrance whisper
about softly instead of shrek!
From a very impressive array
of atomizers, I chose one, for
cologne, that seemed to have a
great deal in it's favor. Of me-
dunn size. with a cut, clear crys-
tai bowl and a black foot, it has
a heavy silk-netted bulb and a
two-toned chromium spray.
This pretty affair produces a
soft, soothing mist which is cool
ing and satisfying, and when
you hear that it's price is about
half what you would expect it
to be, you'll realize it's a bar
gain-either for personal use,
or for a gift to some gal you
would like to please.

BOND MARKET RISE
 FELT IN THIS CITY
Mortgage Holders Now Can Dispose of Them
 at Fair Price

Six r1onths have wrought some strange changes in the mortgage situation in Waterbury. Mortgage holders who last fall had no use for bonds of the Home Owners Loan corporation are now doing their best to secure them.
 Just a few months ago mort gagees fought shy of accepting HOLC bonds in return for their mortgages, and thus many owners of homes found it extremely diff cult to secure loans.
 To-day the situation is vastly different, with the presidents re- cent hint of government guar antee of the principal of home loan bonds sending the bonds soaring in the market. Previously only the interest had been guaranteed. To- day property owners are even ask ing the local HOLC office to take over the property, so attractive are the bonds. This cannot be done, howeve', as the rules of the fed eral corporation make real danger of losing the property a requisite of each loan.
 Much of the time taken in many of the loan transa ctions Is devoted to attempts at compromise with the mortgagee. These are usually cases In which the appraisal made by Home Loan appraiser Is not high enough to warrant the loan of the full amount. Compromise with the mortgagee Is then re- sorted to.
