 "You liked it we'll enough, uncle you were there," she reminded him.
 You had a good time. You danced you fiirted :" "What would you have me do?"
 Tom demanded. He couldn't, he said, be rude to the girl. She was darned attractive, anyhow. | This turned the knife in Gypsy's side.

 She began stormily to cry. She was so angry, so furious with everyone, the world, Tom, and her. self in particular. What had hap peped to them both?
 His manner changed. He came over and knelt down beside her, taking her small hands in his. He gave her clean handkerchief. Don't cry, baby" he said, very gently. "We're both being such fools, and all about nothing" (TO Be COntinued)

GLORlFYING
 YOURSELF
By AIieis Hart
 &I3Xs2 MA SEaYiCE lEls.

 Evening cultures for formal par ties are flattering as can be. And probably the incest thing about them is their lack of standardiza- ton. You can suit your own per- sonality and, at the same time, be right in style.
 For instance, there are grand ideas for the sophisticated type of woman. She can brush her hair straight across the top of her coif- fure.
 As a matter of fact, tiaras are growing more and more popular every day. If you don't fancy the rhinestone tiaras, there are others made of metallic leaves and some plain gold and silver ones. Feather tiaras are f1attering to certain types of beauty. You can have the feath- CTS dyed to match the color of your hair, the shade of your gown or, if you like, in a contrasting tone which matches neither.
 The unsophisticated type of beauty goes in for tiny bits of gilt ter rather than tiaras. There are diminutive stars, crescents and odd-shaped designs which are to be fastened right into the bun on the back of your head. Some of them are designed to hold curls in place.
 Something new in the way of an evening coiffure uses a fresh gar- denia stuck into the bun on the nape of the wearer's neck and it's held in place by rhinestone safe ty pin.

{ Every hostess has looked into Ser glass closet since repeal, and Wrung her hands, for during the prohibition era, few gave thought to the proper glasses in which to serve "the wine of the country"- gin and gingerale. It wasn't neces- sary. People drank anything and they weren't particular in what they drank it. But now, it Is necessary to learn in what glasses Co serve the various wines that are returning to favor.

"Notes for an Epicure" a booklet just finished contains cheering news on this subject. There is a simplified list of glassware for or dinary home use that includes everything most likely to be need cd. The list includes water goblets, of course; four ounce wine glasses, for red or dry white wines; two ounce wine glasses, for sweet des- sert wines, and liquer glasses. Simple, now Isn't 1t?
 To be absolutely swank one will have different size glasses for the white and red wines, but this Is not strictly necessary at home. If one goes in for vintage brandles, one will want those large brandy inc hhlers that makes brandy seem SO important,

WHAT TO FEED YOUR
 CHILDREN UNDER SIX

The Ccildren's bureau in Wash ington, in one of it's pamphlets, gives general ll-planned diet for the average child from one to six.
 1t must be remembered how ever, that in any list of the sort exceptions must be made in case of sickness, doctors orders, and any inhibitions of a child in digesting certan foods. Also babies between one and two should be fed carefully and if possible under medical di- rection. I think this is as import ant as first-year feeding. It never pays to get overly ambitious about a child's diet during the second year. Or for that matter later either.
 Judgment and her own observa . tfon or each child will aid the mother in using this list.
 Foods on Child's Diet
 "A pint, and a half of whole milk day. but not more than quart. Of doctor says more, do as he di- rects. Very young children may need more.)
 "Fruit once or twice a day in cluding atIleast one raw fruit such as .orange, grapefruit, apple or banana" (The latter is a right about-face of old ideas. Skin must be turning brown to show 1t is ripe. I think I should be pretty sure about it. See what doctor says.)

cry out, to say something angry and hurtful about Hilda Blan- chard and the way he had devoted himself to her all evening. But she was actually too weary to quar- rel, although a quarrel might have cleared the air. She answered him in her turn coldly. Tom waited until she had got between her own neat sheets and green blankets. Then he turned out the light, flung the window wide, and got into bed. Long after he was asleep, Gypsy lay awake. She had to get up at half past seven, she knew that. But just the same, she tossed and turned. She was tense, she was an- gry, she was bewildered. Just be- fore dawn came streaking into the grey canon of the street, she fell uneasily asleep.
 Breakfast was a dreary affair. The Weavers were scrupulously po- lite to each other.

 He came back into the living room with his overcoat on his gray soft hat in his hand, to say goodby. Gypsy's lip trembled a | little. This - this really was dreadful! Where was Tom? Where was her own boy? She couldn't find him, in this stiff and formal stranger.
 Its Dinah's night on," she told him. Dinner at seven." Right. At seven." And he was gone.
 She sat down and cried. She couldn't help it. Well, she had no time for this. A business woman wife didn't. She'd have to hurry. Bath. Cold cream. Dash of lip stick, Heavens, she looked a wreck! What circles she had under her eyes!
 Well, there was no help for it. Maybe the circles made her look pale and interesting. She hoped so. She lost herself, as she rushed into her dark blue knitted dress, in a dream of intense dramatic in- ICLCoLs III tllO uICdHI, S1lo WdSICu away to nothing and her husband looked on, wringing his hands and begging to be forgiven.
 On the subway she read her morning paper. It seemed to her there were more than the usual number of divorce stories, although goodness knew there were always enough of them. She read them with newly sharpened interest. MT B. .... of Riverside drive was mar rying his beautiful secretary as soon as his Reno stay was over. Mrs W. of Yonkers was get ting her decree and shortly there- after marrying a Slavic nobleman. It was, though Gypsy, frightening. Didn't anybody stay married now a days? She had never thought of divorce, before this, in connection with Tom and herself. But her thoughts were morbid this morn- ing.
 Nonsense. Nothing has hap pened," she told herself, robustly. why, we haven't even had cross word" No, but she had discovered how angry she could be with Tom. Why, last night when Hilda Blan- chard had been so possessive with him, she had wanted to claw her

TWO OLD TIMERS THAT LIST LESS AND LETHARGIC FOLK
 SHOULD KNOW.

For years I have ben trying to devise different ways of saying in the space of a short article what a rare old timer said as succinctly as Scotchman would send tele- gram: He who would eat much must eat little." This famous epi- gram of Cornaro's makes people think.
 Luigi Cornaro (whose life you had better read, if your public H. brary is still open) attained the age of 102 years four centuries ago-equivalent to 200 years today, I should estimate. Yet. in his youth he did indeed apply hot and re- bellious liquors in his blood and all the other ealth-destroying and life shortening evils the boistering youth of that day indulged in. Cornaro, like all fools, laughed at doctors and health rules when he was rollicking blade. If his con- science ever troubled him at all he drowned it out as do all fools. It was not until he had become what in those days was regarded as an old man, nearly forty, that he got hygiene. You know, as burnt out old sinners get religion.
 Cornaro taught two great lessons in hygiene, to all who care to learn how to keep well. First, that one must eat sparingly to live long. Second, that it is never too late to get hygiene.
 Then there was another great found himself at thirty listless, lot ha rorin ell, of !, overweight. He weighed 44S pounds in fact and in whatever they wore in Scotland early in the eighteenth century. But he did't despair. He girded up his Joins with a ships cable and entered upon reduc- tion regimen, dieting on milk and vegetables chiefly, and gradually accustoming himself to exercise. In this way Cheyne reduced his weight to 150 pounds and lived to the age of 72 years. His essay on health and long life is still a clas- sic and his aphorisms contain much wisdom even for today. This one is quoted in the doctors bible -Osler's "Pracice": \
 Every wise man, after fifty,
 ought to begin to lessen the
 quantity by his ailment, and if
 he would continue free of
 great and dangerous distem-
 pers and preserve his senses
 and faculties clear to the last
 he ought every seven years
 go on abateling gradually and
 sensibly, and at last descend
 out of life as he ascended into
 it, even into the child's diet"
 The child's diet means milk diet. The seven year notion is just one of those old medical supersitions. No one knows whether any part of the body is replaced by new cells or tissues in seven years or in seven months or in four weeks or in thousand days. But the tenor of chene's hygienic advice is quiet sound. Indeed, wise men and wo- men do begin to employ greater moderation in their eating and drinking as well as in their physi- cal activities, after fifty.

 Answer-There is no dearth of rules or methods. but in my opinion no one can predetermine the sex of the child. And it is probably better so.
 Speed the Smarting Guests.
 This little booklet of yours about "Unbidden Guests',' is worth many times the 15 cents it costs. By fol- lowing instructions in the booklet for ringwOrm or fungus foot itch I have obtained more relief than I got from much medical treatment. (R. O. H.)
 Answer-Ringworm, fungus itch, athletes foot, tricophytosis, gym nasium or. swimming pool itch. Tawe your choice of names for 1t. It is a parasitic. infestation and hence belongs in the category with cooties and the like.

eyes out-and Toms too, for being such goose.
 Jealousy, Gypsy decided, was a dreadful thing. It was so unrea- soning, it was such bitter, black emotion. It was like a disease. She had had taste of it, before, when Tom had taken Vera Grey to lunch. She had told herself, when that in- cident had blown over, that noth- ing like this would ever happen to her again. She would be calm, ju- dicial, she would use her head in- stead of her heart.
 But apparently Tom was the sort of man women ran after. She looked gloomily down a vista in which she rescued him from dozens of affairs. q can't stand it!" she told herself, in despair. "I won't"

 It all began quietly. Gypsy started it. with remark about Marko. Tom said something cut ting, and she flung back at him, all her good resolutions gone.

 It was terrible terrible. They quarreled in low voices, so that they should not be heard above Dinah's clamor, but even in the kitchen, she stopped slamming kettles about and stood to listen,

It was l o'clock. It was two. It was three. And the music went on and the smoke gathered in clouds and the glasses were filled and emptied, filled and emptied again. Her head began to ache and her spirits Jagged. Looking from one face to another, she wondered idly how they stood it, night after night. Why, she was only 22, strong, ale
 most without nerves, and yet she tired of it quickly. Marko, who made the social rounds so briskly, 1 was 50, and his skin was stretched 1 tight around his eyes, he seemed 1 untiring. He must have unexpect- l ed stores of strength to draw upon. Marko, reflected Gypsy, was rather wonderful!
 At three-ten (and how Gypsy blessed her for it!) young Mrs Wiltford said they must go-there was something about an early start on the morrow. They were going south. Hot Springs. The par " began to disintegrate.
 Gypsy's own farewells to her hostess were the hollowest of po- lite lies. She hadn't enjoyed her. self at all. She was tired to death, she was almost i'll with annoyance at Tom and jealousy of Hilda Blanchard, she was little ashamed of herself for her mild Irritation with Marko.
 And yet she said all the correct things. Lila must come to lunch with her downtown-soon. Oh, she meant that, all right. Lila was sweet, she was gay and interested, friendly.
 Gypsy was almost speeches. with fatigue when the taxi depos- 1teA them at their own door. Tom Still silent, he unlocked the door and stood aside to let her into the dark apartment. Gypsy switched on the hall light, yawned, dropped her wrap into 8 chair. Then she hastily picked it up again. It was all very well for the idle daugh- fers of the rich to behave so with their party clothes. As for her she
 must take excellent care of the few
 she owned, because it would be 8 |. long time before she would be able
 Co afford others.
 When she came out of the bath room, having scrubbed the heavy scent of tobacco smoke from her
 hands and face, wrapped in her
 woolly robe, Tom was already wait
 ing. His own things were neatly folded and laid across a chair back. Tom, she reflected, was that rare bird, 8 tidy husband. At least, from all she had heard, such crea- lures were rare. She gave him a brief inquiring glance and saw that ] he still wore the frown he's adopt { ed when they had left the others. 1 Was Tom going to sulk? Oh, she
 hoped not. Gypsy, herself, could ] never harbor grievance. She
 had been taught never to let the 1, sun go down upon her anger. As she brushed her hair, she could hear Toms vigorous splash ing. She let her glance rove around 1 the little room and what she saw she inevitably contrasted with lila s 1 exotic boudoir. Involuntarily a
 sigh escaped her.

 beside her.

 There are g lot C. Cinderellas around after the party is over. It's all very grand to put your last dollar and fifty cents on an outfit for folks at the dance, but on the authority of the more sought-afer swains, 1t seems that the male fails to remember the next day what the darling he danced with was wearing. He'll remember her to be delicate, alluring and some thing nice for swirling, but is all hazy about her dress. If she made the mistake of putting the family jewels on sale to get that evening toggery, it's just too bads because what's going to count with the magnicent prince will be the trim heel and ankle, neat, well-cut coat, hat with verve, and a freshly gloved hand, which should be the bag of tricks to be used for the luncheon date made at the dance under the spell of romance.
