Half an hour later she went down
to the beauty salon leaving behind
her room which looked as if it had
been struck by a whirlwind. Boxes,
tissue paper, ribbons and string lay
strewn about the furniture, but on
the bed lay the kind of frock she
had dreamed about.
Leaning back in the chintz-draped

Lin- coln, of Harvard, is testing q group of exceptionally brilliant children at different periods and he finds a somewhat greater ten- dency for these children to score lower as they grow older than Is true of average children. These results do not altogether agree with those of Professor Lewis M. Terman, of Stanford, who has test ed at different times a large group lof his one thousand exceNtionally gifted children, although some have declined considerably while others have increased. The pro lem is being vigorously studied.

Boots room was one of those on the left. It was tiny, not more than eight feet square. There was a forlorn brass bed and bureau which had once been painted ivory but whose former coast of paint some green, some faintly lemon colored--now showed through in patches. A knob was missing. Upon this bed Boots now col lapsed, kicking off her sodden shoes with the rubbers still cling ing to them. She had spalshed thu ough>s so many puddles that the .rubbers had been sorry protectors Later. she told herself, when she was rested she would get up, stuff paper into those forlorn little OK fords and make certain of their be- ing dry by tomorrow. Her only other pair, patent opera pumps, were at the shoemake and he closed shop at G.
 She wriggled out of her coat and lay there for q moment, savor- ing the blessed solitude.
 "Oh, I'm so tired" she whim- pered faintly, burrowing her face dep into the pillow. It was not a friendly pillow. It was hard and unyielding and it smelled ever so slightly of some acrid disinfectant. Boots shrank from it. After a mo- ment she staggered to her feet Better hang this coat up. Better get off her working frock-it was damp and wrinkled. now. She would have to get up early and press it. Her coat on a hanger, her hat on an improvised form of tissue paper, she wrapped herself in her warm dressing gown and flung herself between the blankets. She was chilled through It seemed to her she would never be warm again ..
 She must have slept for hours. When she awoke the hands of the alarm clock on the bureau pointed to 10 minutes past 10. Stupid, be- logged with sleep, she struggled to her feet in response to a loud knocking at the door.
 "Oh, yes, Mrs Mooney" she said, Coming"

GLOVES MUST BE EITHER LONGER

Six-Button Lengths OverSh ShadOWed

By MARIAN YOUNG
 (NEA Service Stan Correspondent) NEW YORK.-To go along " with the present craze for slit skirts, collars and bodices, even glove cuffs are being split this year. Sometimes they're slashed at the sides as well as in front and back, and often they're finished with rolls of tufting.
 Other unusual decorative notes include trim wrist straps on sports gloves, met al and glass ornaments on street and evening models, corded rows of stitching and bows of self;material on all types. Daytime gloves are either very short or much longer than in the past. The intermediate six b u t t o n length is, for the moment, less frequently shown than one-clasp types that reach just to the wrist, fastening with one button, and those that wrinkle flatteringly be- tween wrist and elbow.
 Shiny Gloves Return
 Shiny gloves are revived on a large scale. Capeskin is ad- vocated for sports, street and afternoon. Glace kid for for nal afternoon and evening.
 Fabric gloves are popular, too. One young American de- signer makes gloves of match ing fabric to go with each woolen dress, and most of the couturiers recommend velvet, plain and embossed-surface effects, for evening. The best ones-those which fit perfect ly, and retain their shape have suede palms. All have an air of nonchalance about them. They slip on and off with a minimum of effort and

Be accurate in your measuring. To assure getting a briIn cupful when measuring juice for jelly, use two cups.
 Dip one cup into the bowl of prepared fruit juice and pour into another for measuring. Fill 1t right up to the brim, even allow ing some to spill over the edge and back into the sauce pan. Follow this rule in making this splendid red currant mint jelly.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-There is a glitter and a glow to everything we wear. this winter. The epidemic nos even included the hair upon our heady-head-h
 An amazing number of elegentiy clad women are wearing their hair shaded from dull gold to soft silver. It must be confessed that the color goes beautifully with the sheen of the new heavy lanes, particularly when they are com bined with black velvet, as so many of them are.
 The gray heads have a distinctly blue tint. Short wavy gray hair worn in delicate curls, and blued to a tender shade, is rather ether cal under night lights. and hardly less striking b yday, with q large black hat titled to one side and forming background, the effect is arresting, to say the least. The young fry will have to look to their laurels, or else change their locks to match their elders.
 As for ornaments in the hair itself, for the moment, stars and half-moons are the preference. These are either as clips or fast ened on metal bands which par tially circle the head.

one of the characteristic effects of deprivation or large deficiency of vitamin A. Other effects of avita- minous A diets are xerophthalmia (dryness, alteration and infiamma- tion of the eyes). The tear glands as we'll as the salivary glands go dry too. Immunity to upper respi- ratory infections is impaired or lost. Calculi (stones, graveD form in the kidneys. Sinustis and middle ear infection are common.
 These foods are the richest nat ural sources of Vitamin A: Fresh RAW milk, butter, eggs, liver, kid- neys, YELLOW and GREEN foods in general, such as carrots, ban anas, sweet potato, squash, pump- kin, orange or orange juice, yellow corn meal, lettuce. spinach, water cress, turnip tops. beet greens, onion tops, parsley, celery leaves, radish tops.
 It seems that while outspoken avita rAnosis is comparatively rare in this country, moderate avitam- inous states are exceedingly com mon but seldom recognized, simply because we have not specific test for these incomplete or partial deficiency diseases. We have only one way to determine whether a given departure from health or effi- ciency is of avitaminous nature, and that Is the therapeutic test. That means feeding or administer ing adequate rations of the vitamin or vitamins in question and obsery- inU Whnf har n a fl in n follows. If the trouble immediately begins to subside and presently disappears, then 1t is fair to as- sume that 1t was avitaminosis.
 But suppose the victim of incom- plete or mild avitaminosis presents no symptoms which warrant sus- picion. That may be, of course, if deficiency Is only moderate or tenn porary, or again it may be that the physician is not sufficiently in- formed about avitaminosis or not alert for the manifestation of such conditions.
 Among 213 children examined by Dr P. c. Jeans ct al in Iowa, 45 were found to have subnormal dark adaptation--nevef mind the technic of the test, but it measures the ability to see dimly illuminated objects in a totally dark room, These children who were nearly all of the poorer class, were then given a good diet and cod liver oil Ia rich source of Vitamin Al Their moderate night cleared up in an average of twelve days. Here, then, is a good thera- peutic or clinical test for yitamin A deficiency. Jeans and Zentmire report the study in detail in J. A.. M. 102, 12, Mar. "A, 1884.

TEST FOR VITAMIN A
 DEFICIENCY


 Many laymen and some physi- clans have no practical concep- tion of vitamins. Neither have |, but I'm getting onto things about them from time to time. and here Is one thing that I think interest ing because it is practical. The theoretical or research literature on vitamins is now of prodigious ex- tent and, speaking as a lowbrow browsing, think most of it is the veriest hooey. Wading through the current vitamin literature one gets the impression that too darn many scientists and not enough artists are engaged in laboratory study. It might be possible to get some practical knowledge out of a lot of this animal experimentation if a real physician, a practitioner who has had some years of exper- fence in general practice, were as- signed to collaborate in every such experiment.

Sister Mary:s Kitchen
By MARY F. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

In many states it now is possible for housewives to serve dishes that were extremely difficult to concoct during recent years because the in- gradients were impossible to ob- tain. There's an inimitable flavor developed in foods prepared with wines, and as wines are available again, it's we'll worth while to in- troduce them in dishes for special occasions.
 Sweetbreads in wine sauce will be sure to plSase a party of adults for luncheon, after the theater or as a course in formal dinner.
 Wine Swectbreads
 Two pairs sweetbreads, 2 table spoons butter, few drops onion juice, l teaspoon salt. Is tea spoon white. pepper, 2 tablespoons flour, cup chicken stock, few drops Worcestershire sauce, 1-2 cup white wine, four triangles hot tuttered toast.
 If chicken stock is not at hand use a chicken bouillon cube and l cup hot water. Cool before using in sauce.
 Prepare sweetbreads by soaking in cold salted water for one hour then simmering in calculated wa ter for twenty minutes. Cool, re- move tissues and tubes and split. Make sauce by melting butter over a low fire until bubbly. Add flour, salt and pepper and stir un- tii smooth. Add onion juice and stock slowly, stirring constantly Bring to the boiling point and add Worcestershire sauce and wine. Heat, but do not allow to boil. Sprinkle sweetbreads lightly with salt and paprika and dot lightly with butter. Broil under flame until brown. first on one side and then on the other. Arrange on toast on a hot platter, pour over sauce. garnish with parsley or sprays of watercress and serve at once.
