The first lesson toward . di- ploma in gracious bearing is how to stand correctly. The course will include lectures on walking and also a good deal of home work.
 Let's begin. Will girl in the front row please step to the front ofsthe room? We'll use you as an example. Stand about one foot from a flat wall, feet slightly apart, with back and shoulders resting against the wall. k
 Your neck and all of. the back. bone, except the last two vertebrae' should be pressed hard against the wall. Those last two links must turn upward and outward, elimin- ating the hollow in the back. Az you turn them out and up, feel the muscles of your stomach con. tract and flatten. Take a, deep breath, lifting the chest as you in- hale and then, bending the knees slowly and exhaling slide down ths wall until you're in a squatting po- sition. Be sure to keep the back bone in a straight line as you slide. Doesn't 1t feel good to take the misplaced curve out of your back?
 Now slide back up to standing position, inhaling deeply as yod rise. Keep the stomach pulled in in, in. You'll find that it isn't hard to fiatten hte stomach, once you've removed the hollow in the back. And that posture exercise is your home work for next week. Prac- tice it several times a day. It will help you to get used to the idea of keeping the backbone straight when standing or walking.

PARIS STYLES BY MARY KNIGHT

ris-UP)-The Ball of the Little White Beds, annual charity extravaganza of the Paris Opera, never fails to bring, out dazzling feminine attire. Despite the seven- cent franc and the high cost of ex- isting in general, gorgeous cos- tunes appeared from here there and everywhere.
 Among them was 6 Worth model called Mon Paris" of dull white silk with cape trimmed in white fox. The daring back decolietage showed q passemen- try motif in gold joining the bodice to the skirt. Says Worth: "The richness of gold orna- ments. when discreeuy used on an evening gown of sober cut and materials Is q precious ele- mnt of trimming" (And this bears our gold stories of the past few days.)
 Another important gown at the famous bali was in a mid night blue soft crepe with a glittering of cellophane thread woven through it. The accompany ing hip-length coat was in ermine in it's natural color.
 Loveliest of the headdresses worn on this occasion was a gold metal band supporting a twist ing of green berries ending on each side at the ears with gold balls which seemed to actually be earrings although attached to the headdress instead of the ears.

or 19 by this time. Eighteen, she thought. And evidently she was oddly immature in some ways though probably, from close com panioship with Jim, unhappily worldly about others.
 Well, she'd visit them, she de- cided and stick it out even though it did prove to be "rather deadly" Marcia rang for her maid then and asked for cable blank.
 "I shall love coming, darling, she scrawled.
 Marcia had almost lost all hope of finding Pablito during the three years that had passed but she had never been able to lose her sense of responsibility for the charges against him. She had employed detectives to search for him and, soon afterward, dismissed them, Her own search she had renewed after this failure but it brought no better results.
 She considered the whole affair "damnably trying" Aat moments Marcia's irritation, which grew because for the first time she had learned what it was to be thwarted, turned against Pablito himself. She should have known that this, was unreasonable but there are women to whom reason is never a very important consid- eration. This is particularly true among those who have always been able to buy what they want whenevr they want 1t with no thought of the price.
 Marcia had not been in Cuba for more than year and at the prospect of the trip she felt fait glow of pleasure. Jim Fields home, of course, would be mon- strosity-a new-rich castle. Well, she would have the pleasure of sneering at it while she enjoyed it's comforts. She could awaken to stare at the ceiling and mur- mur. "Oh, my God the murals!"
 This feeling of superiority had become very dear to Marcia and she welcomed chances to display it. It served as solace for much she had missed.
 Oh, yes, Marcia would go to Havana. She turned through the rest of her letters, aware of. a vague sense of anticipation And excitement.

 White Spots in Skin.
 What is tho cause of white spots i'm the skin. called leukoderma or vitiligo? (A1rs c. E. W.
 Answer-It is loss of pigment from the skin. sometimes called "piebald" skin, from unknown cause. There is no effective remedy. In some cases skilled tatooing will render the white spots inconscicu- ous. A paint for temporarily con- cealing them is made from two or three teaspoonfuls of glycerin, and ,1-2 ounces of zinc oxid and 1 1-2 ounces of calamin with pint of water. To this add drop by drop till you get tint to match your normal skin, ichthyol-not more than a dram (teaspoonfuD of ichthyol is necessary.

In these days of ingenious and intelligent housewifery, Dad doesn't need to go outside his own dining room to. enjoy his grill, club or blue plate luncheon, done as perfectly as it ever was by the chef at his favorite downtown restaurant.
 Moreover, such luncheon or dinner saves both time and money, though who would ever have thought that anything so satisfy ing to the palate could have so many other virtues?
 Do you know where they got the name "blue plate"? Why, orig inally these grill dishes with parti- tions to keep food separate were made exclusively in blue-pat- termed ware! But now you may buy them in glass as well as al- most any china pattern.
 Any type of meal can be served len grill-plate." Company lunch- cons. oven dinners, vegetable plates, top-of-the- -stove and broilei meals are all attractive and save steps and dish washing when served on a partment plate.
 As in planning all meals. the com bination for grill plates should be carefully thought out and chosen with regard to color. shape and texture as well as flavor and food value. 2 A first course of soup and des- sert may be added to the combina- ton suggested, but the plates are we'll balanced, and hearty as they are. Bread of some sort and a beverage should of course be in- cluded.
 The following plate" would be suitable for an informal company luncheon.

THERE IS GOOD SCIENTIFIC HYGIENE IN ALL THIS BLAH
 ABOUT CRI.

Perhaps If I first state my per- sonal view or attitude you can decide whether I'm a good teacher or a crazy nut.
 do not believe there is such an entity. ailment or illness as "the common cold.' I belive that what lay men and old time health authorities regard as such dis ease is in fact any or a dozen or more diseases, some of them Of serious character and some of them not so serious. 1 believe no doctor can tell today what the alleged "common cold" is going to be tomorrow or next week; think when a doctor acquiesces in the
 notion that the indisposition is
 "just a cold" he is guilty of hedg- ing on the diagnosis, stringing the patient along until 1t becomes manifest to all what the illness
 really is. (We'll display an assort-
 ment of maladies for our custom CTS to try on presently.)
 In this category of diseases it is
 still q respectable quack trick to
 switch the diagnosis over night. or from visit to visit, to meet the
 changing conditions. of the illness.
 The laity is pretty childish about it and seldom minds if the indis- position of the family quack called
 " bad cold" Tuesday proves to
 be epidemic meningitis or scarlet
 fever ThIrsday. It Is an old medi-
 cal custom, and people like 1t. But the conversion of one disease into another is possible only with
 in the field of the cri. Coryza to infantile paralysis or bronchitis to
 measles ib perfectly conventional.
 The dumb laity thinks the cold
 settles hither and thither, causing trouble according to the relative "weakness" of the site 1t selects.
 But let doctor venture to do lightning change of diagnosis from
 appendicitis to pneumonia. for ex- ample-especially in the operating
 room-and. his goose is cooked.
 The wiseaere laity will not stand
 for any such bad guesswork as that.
 There are a score or more speci- l fic disease conditions which we
 classify as respiratory infections"
 I'll tick them off for you shortly. ] Infantile paralysis, diphetheria,
 measles, epidemic meningitis are
 several other specific respiratory infections, that is, tho specific
 germ or virus of the mucous mem
 brane of the respiratory tract, the lining of nose of throat especially. In all of the known respiratory infections there are certain com
 mon signs or symptoms at the on, set or in the premonitory stage of the illness, and these common signs of symptoms are those of
 coryza. This explains the phrase
 "cornmon respiratory infections But 1t Is deceptive and dangerous to regard any such illness as 'a cold" in the early stage. So 1 urge | the term "cri" to cover the re- duirement of some term for the early stage of any respiratory in. f4ctipf or any apparent respira- tory infection. What can be- simp- Ier than to say that you have the cri? Why, that is even simpler than to say you have "cold. : and besides it is frank and hon. est confession and sufficient warning to all persons to beware. But don't care whether you cali lit the dri or the pip, so long as yoti acknowledge that it is pfop- ably infectious. That is the little lesson in better hygiene that this term teri" conveys.
