1.-Certainly. One of the marks of a truly educated person is that he tries always to feel the emotion he ought to feel: And one ought to feel surprise, interest and as- tonishment in the presence of new things; otherwise he will grow blase and poker-faced about life itself. As was said of John Ruskin, "A hair on the back of his hand was as interesting as a special revelation" And, as another has said. In order to be universally interesting you must be universally interested"

There is one type of human be- ing who possesses the ever lasting ability to make every one near here, or him, uncomfortable. Usually this particular weakness is of the feminine gender, but not always.
 It leaves us irritated and baf- fled. and all the more so because we cannot put our finger on the trouble.
 If we take pains to go over word by word all that has been said, the other persons remarks, our poor silly answers, and the gen. cral trend of conversation, we may be enlightened.
 It is something like his - her method tor his).
 Tcmpts Tempers
 She directs the conversation de- liLerately to some subject she knows will irritate us. And then she gets us to express ourselves. This puts us on the defense and gives her exactly what she wants the advantage of attack. Dur ing the whole time she never loses her temper. But she enjoys see ing us lose ours. She has gift of cleverly putting us in wrong whichever way we turn. It is done so subtly and deftly that it pro- tects her completely. We do not even realize we. are under fire at the time.
 Finally, Well, I must be go- ing," she says sweet.y, picking up her purse. She leaves with grati- fled look'for her next call on some other tiustered person, 'who in turn will be put on the spot. She isn't gossip-she merely gets thrill for her own ego by making the world habitually try to right itself with her, explain to her, go over its weak spots with her.
 And as the door closes you won der why on earth you kept ex- plaining and apologizing for buy ing the new lamp, or not having Hester's tonsils out, or having thosef unny people from Whatsis for dinner the other night. It did not strike you at the time that none of it was her business. She was far too subtle. Your wits are always three hours catching up to hers if at all. And you are sell dom prepared for the next time.
 Defense - defense, always de- fense. The waspish facility to make you dodge from one corner to another, putting up mental hands unconsciously for protec- ton. Leaving you feeling as flat as a pricked balloon.
 And Youngsters ..
 The lady has her embryo in the child who learns early to feed her ego on other children's discom- fort.
 Recently I saw some little girls playing. One was so buy putting the others in wrong she wasn't paying attention to the game. The game meant nothing to her. She was too absorbed getting all the kick she needed out of their dis comfort and denials. T am not one would shout. "I did so" cried another Now what did 1 do?" yells a third.
 She hasn't reached the age of subtlty, but already her attitude is fixed. She will go through life gloating over other peoples de- lenses. One such child can make a whole family or whole street miserable.

 3.-How the world would laugh at such notion! Yet, as pointed out by Virginia s. Lucas in "The Independent Woman" we do practically say that to women. But Miss Luncas adds: "Given the same education as a man, . woman has a mans mental needs. For the educated woman marriage is no more of . job than for the edu- cated man, .. Men do not permit the married state to eclipse them. Then why should women satisfy themselves solely with marriage?" Indeed why?

and Mrs Pearce were all drinking hot coffe and eating hot toast and chattering with subdued but grati- fled hilarity. There was nothing for him to do but sit down and have coffee and toast, too, but he would not have it anywhere except in the bedroom where he could look at Amy and be certain that all was we'll with her. The nurse-crisp red headed Miss Tyler-told him there, but she could not keep him out.
 He was finishing the last of the coffee when Amy woke and saw him. For heavens sake," she eX- claimed weakly, when did you get here? Did you see young Howard? :? There is a young Howard, isn't there-I didn't dream it?'
 So the great emotional moment faded into laugher, as he knelt be- side her and told here there un- doubtedly' was young Howard, weight seven and a half pounds, properly formed and featured, but looking rather as if he had just been peeled.
 That doesn't sound like a proud father."
 "Give fe little time" He held her hands, and kissed them. Amy, darling-you are all right, they told me so but 1 want to hear you say it."
 "Me-why. I'm simply grand. It wasn't so bad-but her eyelids fluttered down once more in eX- hausted slumber. When the nurse came in a few minutes later she found Howard asleep, too, on his knees, his head on the bed beside Amy's right hand. With some difti- culty she reused him enough to get him over to the couch: he dropped there and was off again. Neither of them woke until early afternoon.
 He would not stir from the room. Now and then they talked a little and as her strength returned she began to ask questions. How long can you stay ?"
 "A whole week. love"

THE MODERN TREATMENT OF
 SNAKE BITE

By experiments on dogs Dr Dud- lev Jackson of San Antonio and Dr w. T. Harrison of the U. $. public health service have shown that it is possible to remove con- siderable venom from the tissue by suction. But they consider an- tivenin a valuable remedy, as 1t IS the only known substance that will neutralize venom when once venom has been absorbed, and It is impossible to prevent some ab- sorption of the venom in acase of snakebite, no matter how prompt ly incisions are made or how care fully suction is applied.
 These investigators advise the following treatment:
 Release all tight tourniquets and replace them by one just tight enough to obstruct the lymph cir culation and not the free venous return. Under novocain make a large cross cut at the fang marks. Make a circle of secondary cross cuts A by A inch about three inches from the original wound, In these small incisions inject sev- eral hundred c. c. (perhaps half d pint) of 1 per cent salt solution and apply suction over theoriginal wound to wash out the diluted venom. Continue this suction for an hour. Every hour for 10 to l 3 hours repeat the suction, using cupping over first one incision and then another. For the suction d small rubber bulb with inverted glass funnel may be used. A con- siderable quantity of venom can be extracted in this way every hour, and besides some fluid leaks from the wound between suctions. If the swelling progresses. make q bracelet of 4 inch criss cross in- cisions around the highest point of the swelling, and a new incision where this fluid has collected in large quantities.
 In most cases not enough incl! sions are made and the suction is not continued long enough. \
 Morphine for pain, stimulant;; when indicated, injection of large quantities of normal salt solution. and blood transfusion may be nec- essary in cases where medical treatment is late.
 Between treatments the limb should be kept dressed with hot wet dressings of normal salt plus sodium citrate, the citrate favors the outflow of venous serum.
 These investigators have tested several of the popular remedies for snake bite. particularly magne- sium sulphate and glycerin packs. chloral hydrate, alum and gun powder. kerosene and finally per- manganate of potash. All of these remedies proved useless and the permanganate is likely to cause serious swelling and sloughing-

 Picking a melon is as much of a gamble as choosing husband. You MAY get good one. If you have a trained ear, the time-hon- ored practice of humping water melon with your knuckles is re- liable test. A full-grown ripe melon has a dull, muffled sound when thumped, while a green one sounds metallic. The ripe melon says "plunk" and the green one says blink"
 If the under-side of the water melon is pale yellow, lemon or a warm ivory color with the skin rough, then the melon is ripe. A warm yellowish green rather than a bright clear green on the top indicates ripeness, too. However. the variety of the melon influences the color of some extent.
 Thumb Nail Test
 There's a thin film-like coating all over the surface of water melon. When the thumb nail IS drawn across it, this coating will peel off like dry wax if the melon is ripe.
 Although mis-shapen melons should be avoided, the natural shape of the fruit is of no impor- tance, round or long melons being equally good.
 Large melons are more desir- abue than small ones, but small, heavy melon is preferable to d lightweight large one.
 Over-ripe melons may be detect ed by the dull appearance of the rind and the uarge number of yell low veins showing through the green surface.
 If part of cut melon is bought, keep in mind that the flesh should be deep pink or a bright red we'll out to the rind with a lovely silver sheen over it all.
 Must Mature on Vines
 Regardless of variety, all mel ons must have plenty of heat be- fore they can reach maturity, so weather conditions throughout the country have much to do with the quality of the fruit. They must mature on the vines and they must be ripe when cut for use. They may ripen after picking without greatly harming the flaw or, but full growth must be all lowed before harvesting.
 Thoroughly chilled watermelon is refreshing for summer meals. Serve as a cocktail with a sherry dressing, in salad, in a sherbet ora frappe. Since it is chiefly wa ter, it is of little fuel value and adds minimum of calories to ones diet, though rich in vitamin

If for any reason your supply of store beautifies runs down and you are too far off the beat- en track these vacation days to repenish it these vacation days to kitchen shelf. You'll find there 8 fine lot of substitutes and you may even pick up some excellent habits that you will want to con- tinue after you go back to the drugstore sector.
 First of all, there's oatmeal. Put a bit into a cheesecloth bag and throw it into the tub to soft en your bath water. Your skin will feel twice as velvety after a. plunge into water that has had the cereal treatment.
 Don't forget lemon, either. Soak your elbows and your knees in lemon juice to make them white and soft. Take off fruit, tobacco and ink stains on the hands with it. Use it, too, as a rinse for the hair after a shampoo, but don't forget to rinse again with clear water. Vinegar is another kitchen cosmetic that does we'll by your hair in rinse.
 Uses of Salt
 Common table salt is most use- ful of all. Add it to the bath Wa ter and enjoy a sea bath in your own tub. Or, for real tonic, be- fore you start bathing, give your self rubdown with wet salt. You really ought to brush your teeth at least once a month with salt. no matter what tooth paste you use, for the salt keeps the gums firm and healthy. Weak salt wa ter also makes a southing eye wash, and in pinch it will do os a mouth wash. So will a solution of baking soda-and soda is an- other excellent tooth paste.
 You know, undoubtedly, about the merits of hot olive oil sham poos and the advantage of leaving warm oil on the hair and scalp over night-but have you ever tried the oil as massage for the legs to make the skin smooth ana lovely? If not, then do!

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP).-Something new in cork jewelry is constantly bobbing up. Now it is a neck lace made of alternating discs of cork and regular cork-shape,: corks with about ten paper-thin dimes sized slices of red celluloiG in between.
 This can be worn. so the saleslady says, either with 8 bathing suit or with equal pro- priety in town with a sport en- semble. I'm little skeptical though and believe it would be better confined to the beach.
 Then there are all sorts of nov cities in cork slippers and san dals, some with crocheted toes and tie straps and others with raffia- which is lighter in weight and dries off in jiffy.
 Celluloid and isinglass have yet to be exploited in a big way, so when the cork fad begins to sink you may be hearing from these other water-defying substances as novel compositions for our beach and summer tinery and in modi- fled forms for our trickier town trimmings.
 Hats of cellophane and um- brellas of it are already among the novelties for Riviera sojourn- ing, and some of these are espec- ially treated with chemicals so that they keep out the blister rays and bring out the tanning rays that give the skin an even golden glow without the slightest discomfort.
