NOT ALL IS COMMON SENSE
 THAT SOUNDS THAT WAY

Many adults that have not ac- quired glasses for comfortable vis- ion before forty do need glasses after that age, though the change of sight is gradual that they are slow to heed it. do not believe 1t is advisa ble for every one to have an eye examination or test of v1s- ion made at any time. But adults of mature age who become con- scious of any difficulty in reading fine print, for instance, should give themselves the benefit of an eye examination. For persons Of mature age it doesn't matter whether the measurement of vision is made by an occulist (eye physician), and optometrist (person trained to measure viSion) or an optlclan Gone who makes or deals in optl- cal instruments and eye glasses). If price is no object, perhaps the optician with long experience Ill fitting glasses, will give the most satisfaction. Otherwise should prefer the optometrist Cat least l have found optometrists more cap able in this work than oculists who have furnished glasses for mel. A second class of people who | should wear glasses but do not are youthful persons who reluct to wear | glasses because they think glasses l will ristract from the ir personal Appearance. That may be so, yet the impairment of vision that IS ilkeiy to occur from long neglect Of moo- | crate refractive error or uncon- scious strain will spoil personal | appearance even more at a time in life when it is better asset than | it is in early youth. Besides, the l eve glasses available today detract | little if at all from good looks. | The third and most important class of people who should wear glasses but do not are near-sighted children.
 Myopia is the medical term for near-sightedness, I. isa common condition, often hereditary, and
 may be present at birth. Its prevail ence ino, eases steadily from pri-
 mary school age up to college ago. That is, the myopia becomes more and more manifest as the child grows older.
 Here is a condition which de- mands the knowledge and diagnos- tic and therapeutic skill of the phy- sician. The oculist, and not an op- tomctrist or Opt1clan, should nave
 charge of the care of vision in the
 sighted child. A large group of near-sighted children have difficulty in seeing
 black board lessons. Teachers not
 rarely assume, and unwise parents
 assent to suggestion that the child
 is dull or stupid or lazy when 1n
 fact the child has never had a
 break which proper blasses would i Here are a few rules for the preservation of vision in neaf-
 sighted eyes:
 1. A chold should not do class
 work for more than half an houl
 at a time. The child should never
 attend a school that does not give
 regular morning and afternoon
 outdoor recess.
 2. Light should come from above
 behind and over the left shoulder i of a right-handed child or vict 1 versa.

Beauty Hints To Keep At Your Finger lips
Nails Should be Filed and Polished Daily
 After Soaking
By ALICIA HART

QOSY, perfectly . groomed Ae fingers, nails, dancing across piano keys, pounding a typewriter, pouring tea how important they are to a woman's charm.
 One hour, once a week, and a few minutes daily there after, will keep hands looking as they should. So no procras- tinating! Get your tools and begin.
 Remove every trace of old polish, file the nails, leaving no rough edges. Incidentally pointed shapes make short fingers seem longer, more tap ering. Soak one hand in warm, soapy water for three or four minutes. Put cuticle oil or a rich cream around the base of each nail and, with an orange stick wrapped in cotton, push back the cuticle. Soak the other hand and treat it in like manner. When you have fin- ished, the little half moons should be prominently dis played. Now you're ready for polish.
 Use natural, pink or vivid red polish depending on your taste. Most girls like neutral polish for daytime and a brighter shade for evening. But get it on smoothly and don't let it touch the half moons or the white tips. If an occasional drop spills over on the cuticle, wipe it off inn mediately.

him off. He hadn't had any dinner to speak of and that green bottle must have contained what the mountaineers called heat-lightning.
 On the train he wrote Gypsy. He told her what hotel he would be at and would she send his things? And he was sorry and would she forgive him? It had all been pretty childish and irrational. He was disagreeably surprised not to hear from her in a day or two. When he tried to get the apartment by long distance the operator said they did not answer. He knew her family was going to be away so he didn't even try the house in Blue Hills but sent tele- gram, instead. It wasn't like Gypsy to ignore all these. but she did and he was rather alarmed. He search ed the New York papers for com ment on Derek's accident but found none.
 He was very busy in Cleveland but he had time to worry about his wife and child, to feel com pletely cut off from them. He did- mt blame Gypsy for sulking. He d acted like a complete ass. But when he explained all the circum- stances of the evening she would understand. He was in a fever of impatience to be back.
 This morning. after turning in his reports at the office he barged up to the apartment. Had Mrs Weaver returned? The hallboy didn't know. But he buZzed the apartment and no one answered. No, there wasn't any mail; at least he hadn't seen any about. Well, that meant that Gypsy had got the letters-and had simply left them unanswered.
 Tom thrust his hands into his pockets, frowning. It was darned queer he hadn't got message of any kind. Well, Gypsy was angry and she had every right to be. He had acted badly. As soon as he'd d gone up into the apartment and changed his clothes he'd call her at Blue Hills; take chance on 1t, anyhow. After that--well, he didn't know what he'd do.
 The little rooms looked utterly desolate although everything was neat, in perfect order. In the closet some of Gypsy's frocks rung Imply mute accusers. Tom shuddered There was something ghostly about that brave, pathetic array. She must have left hurriedly, the thought came; she took so very little. The baby's crib, primly made
 up, with it's blue spread and ap-
 pliqued rabbit, mocked him with it's emptiness.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
'By Alicia Hart Es
0i55JsS NI1 sEF7IcE iEc

Shapely eyebrows are important to any girls face. Not that you have to tweeze them into tiny, thin lines to show the world that they get a lot of attention. But at least you can eliminate struggling hairs on eyelids and across the bridge of your nose.
 For this, add small tweezer to the list of supplies on the dress ing table. If the brOws have never been groomed before. It's good idea to go to a beauty shop and have an experienced operator do it the first time.
 By the way, there's new eye- brow tweezer on the market right now, a time-saver that makes the procedure quite painless. You sim ply grasp an individual hair and, when you press a little button, the tweezer flies backward about an inch, removing the hair instantly.
 All of this, of course, is for the woman whose eyebrows grow in abundance. If yours don't, then try rubbing them with warm olive oil at night. The oil tends to nourish the roots and promotes growth.

BY SISTER MARY NEA Sapvica Staff Wpifor

NEA Service Staff Writer As long as the Irish potato is at
 it's best, the typical American re-
 gards it as a dinner necessity. But i when potatoes become scarce and
 of poor quality, there are many
 vegetables and creals that are it's
 just competitors. Different varieties
 of dried benas, peas and lentils, hominy, macaroni and spaghetti,
 noodles and rice may be served in | palatable dishes that will find favor
 on potatoless menus.
 When you plan a meal in which
 rice, macaroni or some other po- l tato substitute is to be used, it's well to keep in mind certain inn portant points. Potatoes do much
 more than furnish starch to the diet Rice and potatoes are bpth food sources of starch, but po- tatoes add minerals which tend to
 balance the acidity of the dinner
 meat while rice, which yields an
 acid ash, increases the acid con- tent of the meal. Consequently,
 when rice, macaroni or any of the
 paste foods take the place of pota- toes, it is necessary to serve other foods known tb be rich in mineral constituents.
 To Serve With Paste Foods Such vegetables as beets, car
 rots, celery, radishes and lettuce
 should' be used in abundance with
 rice and the paste foods. Combina-
 ton dishes of rice and tomatoes or
 macaroni and tomatoes supply
 quite completely the food elements
 found Tn potatoes.
 Mna1e in, xhinh dviad hnQnC and peas are used must be considered
 from a different angle. These foods are good sources of mineral con- stituents and tend to produce aka
 Unity when digested and assimula- ted by the body. Served in combina- tions with other foods they may | also figure as the main dish. When | featured as the main dish they should be amply supplemented by | milk.
 Varieties of Beans There are man varieties of dried beans that are more delicately fla vored than the navy" bean usual- ly called to mind when beans are
 mentioned. Dried lima beans, mar yellow eye, cranberry and black are excellent varieties, each having a distinguishing flavor.
 Spring greens" are particularly suitable to serve with a hearty dish
 of beans. The ombination makes
 an inexpensive, satisfying, nuor-
 ishing and well balanced meal for spring days.
 Too many home-makers make the mistake of thinking that any food which is a good source of starch can take the place of pota- toes in the diet with the same re- suit. The caloric value may be the same but the mineral balance will | be far from true.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ice Cream is HeaIthful Food

Peaple wha ought to know say that ice cream is not very nutrut- tious but easily digested, and for that reason is much used in hospi- tals. Does the factory product ac- tually contain milk or cream and eggs like the old fashioned home- made ice cream? (W. R. O.
 Answer-The factory product is wholesome, nutritious and digesti- ble enough. Besides it is easy to eat! However, it doesn't contain as much milk or cream or egg as the old time homemade ice cream did. Perhaps it is just as well, for us fattish customers at any rate.
 It is in The Mental System
 Kindly tell me what to take or eat to rid my system of acid. (D.E.)
 Answer-Just rid your mind of the notion and you'll be all right. The "acidosis" complex is absurd. No accumulation of acid occurs in the body except as a consequence of some illness, or from excessive fasting.

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris-"Beauty and the Beast has been corrupted to Boots and the Beach" since Worth showed white canvas boots for the sunny seasides. They resemble riding boots in line, but can be worn on various occasions. They can even be worn-slipped on over delicate evening shoes-when one is going to beach party and it is easier and quicker to reach the destination by way of the beach than the inland road. They protect the satin slip pers from the sands.
 Another type of beach shoes is Vera Borea's "Bootee" in white kid. This laces across the front of the foot but leaves the toes bare. It giec the bathing ensemble a rather dressy effect, especially whe nworn with the new linen shorts by Borea.
 "The true Parisienne shoe" says a shoe stylist here who knows her business, "has long since aimed to be as light as the proverbial cloud, but, believe it or not, shoes are now rivaling clouds in the question of Things; shoes do not insist on a silver lining, but all other most delicate shades in soft kid line the exclusive shoes nowadays, or sometimes neat printed kid in shades that most aptly blend with the outside of the shoe. A small point, but small points are what distinguish the woman of fine taste.
