PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris - (UP) - There is no
 pulling in the horns about these
 new fashions. The bull is out
 and 1t aims to wreak havoc. It will.
 Some of the things are dis
 tinctly anarchronistic, such as the whoopee hoopskirts that will
 have to be accompanied by their own special built automobile. while others adapt themselves
 rather admirably to the situa- tions at hand.
 A funereal touch was added by one house who showed a deeply cut front neckline all filled in up to the throat with crinkled cerements - exactly the stuff the undertakers line collins with in soft satin or crepe or chiffon. All the costume lacked was a carved and metal placqued coffin used as a belt buckle. And to our way ot thinking it wouldn't be a bit more anomalous than some of the death
 masks and gorilla coats and glass dresses that are loose about the town.
 The main thing we shall have t otke gret cretoinshrdluetaoin to take great care about is in apting these new gadgets, as we'll as the slashed up and down and across styles in clothes, to our own personalities so that we do not create that effect of lady suddenly turned hoyden. It is not so easy as 1t sounds for you are not yet entirely "wise" to the weirdities of this season of our fashion nineteen hundred thirty four and five.

Picnic Cakes

Frosted cakes for picnics with out a crack in the icing! Yes! It can be done, And here's how.
 First, bake your cake. Then remove from pan, and let cool. After that, return it to pan, wrap pan in waxed paper and tie it up securely. That's step number one.
 Make the frosting few days Tn advance. Put it in the ice-box in tightly covered jar. Pack 1t with the picnic lunch, and frost your cake at the picnic grounds. That's step number two.
 Eat it before anyone steps on it. That's step number three.
 How to Make the Frosting :.
 Chocolate is an almost universal fayorite, so we'll tell you how 70 make a frosting out of that: You need three ounces (one packagol of cream cheese, three or four tablespoons milk, two cups sifted confectioner's sugar, two squares unsweetened chocolate, melted, and a dash of salt.
 Soften the cream cheese with the milk. Add the confectioners

briefly. 1T can'e take wife to Chile and that's a fact, It isn't that kind of job ."
 "Marry!" Her eyes were starry. her whole being was shaken at the thought. Why, I never thought. never dreamed ."
 Russ went on slowly. "There are other things we could do. Get in the old bus, go out to California New Mexico - any place. It'd be swell"
 She could see the two of them, bi ionzed, gypsyish, vagabonding down the world together. None of the village stiffness, the showers, the pushing that other girls knew. This must be what people meant when they spoke of mar riage as The Great Adventure"
 The wind blew little white caps in the water and the trees near the shore rustled above the shouts of children on the raft.
 "I-I must be mad even to think of it." Boots said on a shivering breath.
 "Why?" the man demanded quickly. easily. "Oh, I'd be good te you. sweet" he said huskily. 'l don't know why we wouldn't pull together-a little queen like you
 1T can't. I can't" Her eyes clouded. The short, sweet moment of dreaming was over. She faced reality. II couldn't do it," she told him. My mother-it would break her heart - she'd never under stand"
 You mean-me!" She was quick to sense his hurt, quick to smooth over the awkard- ness.
 "No, of course not, idiot. She'd think I was too young"
 we wouldn't" Russ offered cas- ually, have to tell her, you know. Just light out ."
 'Elope?" The warm color flooded the girls cheeks.
 "Sure, Why not?"
 "Oh, I don't know. There always seems something just bit under cover about an elopement. don't quite like the sound of it.
 Nuts" said Russ lazily, and even through the spell of his near ness Boo:J felt shock of annoy ance. The word jarred. Oh, but he didn't know it wasn't his fault that he was a bit crude, unlettered. He was bright. he could learn. Boots saw herself leading him through the world, teaching him, At 40, he would be a man of af- fairs. Someone would say. You know his wife is responsible for his greatness. They say she made him what he is to-day :"
 A bell changed nearby. St Marks clock. It was half-past 5. The girl scrambled to her feet.
 "Oh, I must go. l had no idea it was so late"
 He faced her, unsmiling. Well what about it? Do go to Chile or don't IF"
 "Oh, Russ!" she protested nerv- ously. "I can't decide all in a min ute. I think we must be crazy. both of us, even to consider it ."
 But the spell was on her again She neither knew what she said or did when his eyes were fixed on hers.
 I'll wait until tomorrow" he said with a strange, becoming gravity.
 And on that note she left him.

neglect of physical training. Snor- ing people never walk when they can possibly ride, nor do they ever climb stairs if they can find a lift. At first they avoid exercise because it seems rather uncouth and un- fashionable, and, besides it is so low to sweat. Presently they avoid exercise because they haven't the ambition to do anything. This false view of life gets them into a fiabby, soft condition, and that favors snoring. So the cure in such cases is adequate daily exer- else. Nothing is better than three to six miles of walking every day.
 The third and perhaps most common cause of snoring Is over- size. Not necessarily overweight, but oversize. This is due not so much to overeating as to unbal- anced diet. If you are oversize send a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for free monograph on Reduction, which physiologically.
 Buttermilk
 Is there any or much or no Aci- uOpllluS DdCllluS III OIoIidly DQl termilk? GA. L. A.)
 Answer-The souring of milk is due to the growth of the natural strain of tactic acid bacilli which occur in milk. I do not believe there is any advantage in using any special strain of tactic acid bacilli. Ordinary buttermilk will produce every wholesome or rem edial effect one can expect from any artificially soured or fer mented milk, in my opinion.

 School board forbids children skipping rope. They say it causes enlarged heart (Mrs J. D. P. )
 Answer-Nonsense. Rope skip ping is fine sport and healthful ex- ercise for normal children. The school board should leave such questions to the individual child S physician.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT SNORING

WHAT TO DO ABOUT SNORING
 This column is strictly profess sional, so we shall have no face tious comments if you please. Fact is, I've been warned. People ex- pect a physician to be solemn or at least dignified.
 Some persons snore to beat the band if they lie on their backs, and cease snoring if they turn onto their sides. When one lies supine | the tongue and the soft palate, re- | faxed in sleep, tend to fall back and cover the mouth of the larynX. That produces a tremendous snore. But when one lies on the side or more or less prone, tongue and soft palate tend to fall away from the larynx and so the breathing is not obstructed.
 While some individuals snore only in the supine, others continue all through the night grinding out their doleful music in any position except perhaps Trendelenberg or knee-chest, and it is hard to get a sleeping person to assume or re- tain these fancy positions. Some authorities argue that the best po- SlllOll TUT Ol iS vertical, at the end of short length of rope, but as I say, a doc- tor should strive to be earnest at all times. People who snore a great deal do so for three main reasons. One reason is they have chronic rhin- tits or chronic pharyngitis and are so dumb or os close that they just won't have the trouble properly treated by the physician. People who snore are actually dumb thick-headed, dull-witted, that is, if they are aware of the intolera ble annoyance they give others who have to sleep in the same house with them. A smart individual who is aware that he snores will lose no time consulting his physi- elan and having the snore re- moved.
 The second reason is studied

Spare corner or your pereH- nial border for a few of the old time sweet herbs that were al- ways to be found in your grand mothers garden and you'll rejoice the palates of your household.
 Some herbs are perennial and when once established, will come year after year. These include thyme, sage, sweet marporam and lavender
 Many may be dried and stored for winter use. Some may be used fresh, just a sthey some from the garden. Borage, burnet, sweet basil, thyme, sage and saVory are used only after being dried. Chives. parsley, dill, chervil and mint are good fresh as well as dried.
 The secret of fine cooking lies in the seasoning and no French housewife ever makes a soup with out a fagot of herbs or kitchen bouquet usually contains bay-leaf, parsley pepper-pod, carrot. celery and chives. Soups and stews sea soned with these herbs have a savoriness impossible to gain any other way.
 Sage, thyme, savory and mar joram are use din stuffings for poultry and meats. Dill. caraway fennel, mustard, burnet, horserad- ish and mint are for sauces.

 Well, I didn't know" You're going = when?" She hadn't meant to ask this question, had determined not to do so, but 1t tumbled out in spite of her reso- lutions. The man glanced at her quickly. glanced away.
 "Oh, a week - 10 days. maybe Give them time to get somebody here"
 "The seasons almost oyer," Boots said quite at random. not needing her words, nor in Tact realizing in the least what she was saying. The dull pain of last night was starting all over again. He was going away-he was going away she might never see him again!
 "Yep!" Russ's big brown hand slipped over her small one, holding it like a prisoned bird. She was aware of her pulse beating swiftly.
 Miss me 3s" his deep voice ask ed.
 | Why, of course!" Boots laughed | softly, shading her eyes, pretend ing to peer at sail far on the l horizon. Naturally" l Like hell yod will" Russ said moodily. you'll go back to your gang. l." he pronounced steadily and solemnlyy, twill miss you like the very devil ." The ice about her heart began to break up. Suddenly she came alive.
 Not really!" she said softly, al- most caressingly. Not honestly, Russ. You're just saying that. :" She was startled. almost fright ened at the strength of the brown | hand closing on her wrist. She drew her hand away. Don't be like that" he com manded shortly. You know darn well how I feel about you '" She was breathless. She had to go on, although she knew that way lay danger. How" she demanded under her breath. Slim, golden, her rounded breasts rising and falling under the deep | curve of the dark jersey, she faced him. Her fingers. were linked about her slender knees. In her smooth curved throat a pulse beat, deeply. The man stared back at her. his eyes darkened by some emotion.
 I'm crazy about you and that's fact" he stated briefly. "Oh, Russ!" Her eyes. under Ftheir dark, sweeping lashes, were starry; she fairly glowed.
 You don't give darn!" He was tracing pattern on the sand but his eyes never left her face. II do. Honestly. Tm-Tm aw- | fully fond of you!" The words had slipped out against her will and | now that they were out she would have given worlds to bite them back. They were so tame-so in- adequate. Fond! Why, with her soul she loved this big, inarticulate Adonis with the ready smile and | the unruly shock of brown curling hair.
 No kiading?"
 No kidding!" She flung back her golden mane and gave him a smile so sweet, so bewitching, that the man caught his breath.
 'Then why-why don't we do something about it?" he demanded | in a husky undertone, A tempered baby with q pail staggered near staggered away. The young matron on the veranda came to the rail and called him sharply. | Bobby! Bob-bee!" | Boots neither saw nor heard. She only knew that her blood was racing swiftly, that a pulse like a triphammer was beating in hei throat.

EEYOUR CHILDREN

Names" is the subject to-day. Perhaps there is new baby perhaps not. It doesn't matter, be- cause after all we are going to nick him anyway.
 A mother has three children, let us say-Elizabeth, Margaret and Edward. But before long she be- gins to wonder what their names really are. Elizabeth's father calls her Bess, her grandmother insists on Eliza, the girls call her Beth. The doctor calls her Betty, her aunt calls her Lib and her uncle leases her with Bridget and Lizzie.
 As for Margaret, the child has to answer to almost anything - the unusual string attached to Margaret Peg and Marg and Gretta and Maggie and Meg.
 And Ed Even More So
 Edward gets Ted. and Ed, and Ned and Red or Slim or Butch or Pie Face. The nice old lady at Smith calls him Edgar. He even gets Edson or Edsel at times.
 The result is that their mother tries hard to avoid all nicknames so the public will know her chill dren are fit for a passport and not travelling with a dozen aliases.
 One of the hardest questions to solve is the name for the new baby. But once selected, it is a problem of selecting a nickname There should be two christenings. one has come to think, because when Katherine is a year old 1t would never do to call her that. She must be Kay, or Kate. Kitty or Kit, Reeney or Kathy or any thing but her own cognomen.
 Even Mary Suffers Mary, the loveliest name in the | world, has as many shortcuts as a corner lot. Strange, isn't it? If her name were Meredith. she would be called Merry. But it wouldn't be spelled Mary" by the smallest chance. Oh, no. Because what we are trying to do to-day is to avoid giving any one a req name except at the altar, on diplo- mas, on savings accounts or vouch- CTS.
 Why? The habit is certainly growing, although it is not new | The loveliest names of a past | generation or two were often ruin- ed. Cornelia was Nelly, Elmira | was Ella - Letltla, IlSn - MallI- da, Tillie - Anegline, Inc -Selina Ina - Martha, Mattie-and Agnes | just plain Az.
 The Case of "Flea" Boys names have never been | distorted so much as those of girls, even though Abraham l ever was Abe. As rule male names were abbreviated to the first syllable, or the last, and ii went at that.
 It is strange about nicknames sometimes. Often they have nc relation to the actual name al all such as that of the girl called | Madeleine. She eventually became Flea, so dubbed by hel brothers, because she was small SfH even gets mail addressed to Miss Flea Smith because half the people do not know her name. This is the trouble with the shortened name. It is confusing l when someone wants to look uT the owner in the telephone book make out a check, or give him fol reference.
 We are skidding pretty fast, believe, into the habit of the nom l de-makeshift. If there is to b. one, best to have it just one, an' not a dozen.

 One of the smoothest, clearest skins I ever have seen belongs to a prominent writer who always cleans her face and neck with soap and water.
 In the summer, she uses cleans ing cream after the soap and wa ter, wipes it of and pats on a skin tonic.
 In the winter, she puts bit of tissue cream around her eyes and mouth and on her throat before she goes to bed. She never varies her routine-adds pothing-omits nothing.
 If for any reason, I did have | to omit something, you can just bet that it wouldn't be soap and water" she told me.
 And in that statement, ot course, lies her secret. The wo. man realizes that thorough cleans | ing is the bases of real skin beau- | ty. And, regardless of what she uses for cleansing, toning and | nourishing, she knows the value of soap and water.
 Besides removing all dirt and | impurities from the skin, soap | father acts as a disinfectant, dis couraging pimples and other min- or eruptions. Be sure, however, to select your complexion soap as carefully as you buy cleansing cream, tooth paste or skin tonic Get one that's made by reputa- ble firm. If, after four cleansings it seems to irritate your skin or make it dry. don't keep on a day 1 longer. Use the soap for some thing else or. better than to ruin your complexion, throw it away.
 Remember that sensitive skin shouldn't be scrubbed with q rough wash cloth. Make a thlcF lather on your hands and then ruE the soap on face and neck. IT other words, wash your skin jus as you shampoo your hair, apply, ing a heavy father with upwart and rotary strokes. Rinse severa times.

1.-Yes, according to that pro- found South African woman, Olive Schreiner. In her Woman and Labor" she points out that women of wealth and leisure have always set the styles and developed the charms and wiles of women for attracting men, and all other women copy them. If these women had to work. styles would instantly become drab and uninteresting from lack of these leaders. Men might get used to it in time but it would give them hefty jolt.
 2.-No, not if the principle wese right under all conceivable cir cumstances. but it is doubtful if, in human affairs. such principles ex- ist. "Thou shalt not kill" applies to nearly all cases and is necessary to any ordered society, but if your neighbor commits a grave crime against society it is generally con- sidered right either for you or soc

ciety to kill him. Also if he at- tacks you or your family, the prin- ciple would produce wrong fruits if you did not kill him if there were no other way out. However. probably in all but one case in a million, if a thing is wrong in its fruits it is worng in principle and vice versa.
 3.-Just the opposite. The vast majority of men of genius have been the sons of fairly well-to-do parents or even wealthy ones. As an example the "effete nobility" of France, constituting one per cent of the French people have pro- duced twenty-five per cent of the great geniuses of France. Calcula- tion shows that on the average enough money in the family to ed- ucate the children beats poverty 300 to 1 in producing men of gem jus.

 This makes enough frosting to cover the tops of two 9-inch layer cakes, or the top and sides of an SXSx2-inch cake, or about dozen cup cakes. When tightly covered, it may be kept in the refrigerator several days before using.
 Delicious Cup Cakes
 And here is the way to make delicious cup cakes. Cream one- half cup butter and one cup sugar, and add two we'll beaten eggs. Sift together one and three-quar- ters cups flour and three tea spoons baking powder, and add alternately with three-fourths cup syrup from canned pineapple. Bake in tiny buttered muffin tins at 375 degrees for fifteen minutes.

SYNOPSIS

BOOTS RAEBURN. IS, and pretty, Is openly snubbed by SYLVIA RIVERS. the richest
 girl in IArchneck, fashionable New York suburb. Sylvia fails to
 ask Boots to a party at the Yacht Club. Boots accepts n be- lated invitation from MRS WA HERMAN, one of the elderly soc ciaI lights.
 HARDY WHlTMORE, one of Sylvia's guests, who had been drinking, puts Boots i'm an em-
 barrassing situation and she is escorted home by RUSS LUND, swimming instructor. The mali- ciouS Sylvia seizes this oppor- tUnity to hurt Boots and per- siiadcS MRS FERNELL of the WOman's Club to ask Boots to resign from the Juniors.
 In her. isolation from the crowd Boots begins to see great deal of Russ Lund. Sud- denly he announces he is going away.
 CHAPTER XIII
 Later, much later that night Boots assured herself that she had Imagined the whole thing. She wasn't in the least in love with Russ Lund. The very notion was preposterous. It was merely that she was lonely and at loose end. Tomorrow she would greet him in quite simple and friendly fashion and everything would be as it had been before.
 But it wasn't quite that way. She schooled herself not to sit near his raised platform on the sand. She managed not to look his way. When Johnny came along she chatted to him almost feverishly. Had he enjoyed the mountains Oh, she knew the Pineville Gap was a keen place. All the time she was conscious of big, bronzed figure in a black bathing suit. She neither looked his way non seemed to be conscious of his nearness but every fiber of her young being reached out invisible tentacles to him.
 Presently as she lay stretched out languidly on the sand she heard his voice. Guess you came when was giving Mrs Meredith a lesson"
 She looked up swiftly and sud- den rush of telltale color belied the indifferent drawl in which she an- swered him. He flung himself on the beach beside her. Johnny had drifted away-he was at the diving stand - and they were suddenly quite alone together. It was low tide. The bathers were drifting homeward with their inevitab ble burden of bags and books and hampers.
 "Mother get homer" His voice was low. It had note almost caressingly intimate in it.
 "Oh, not yet! Nine o'clock train" She strove to make her tone casual and the effort only succeeded in making it tremble little. She be- came angry at herself for her fail ure and this realization of her own weakness made her voice sound cold and far away. Russ glanced up at her sharply.
 "Not mad at me?"
 Ghe managed a laugh, wholly artificial and unconvincing. What an ideal"
 They were quite alone in this little sector of the beach at the m oment, with the exception of a young matron on the. piazza who w-ss rocking and counting stitches in her knitting. Boots, all her slim length a pleasant symphony in pale gold, broken only by the briefest and sleekest of bathing garments linked her slim hands together and stared unseeingly at the blue hori- z0yf
