taste.
Skim Milk
Does skim milk contain every
thing whole milk contains except
fat? (Mrs. M. P.)
Answer-Yes. Skim milk is milk
from which the cream has been
SKINNED or removed. Makes no
great difference whether the fat
has been SKINNED off In the old
fashioned way or centrifuged in the
separator. Many dumb farmers
waste the valuable food in skim
milk. because they think 1t is not
fit for human beings to eat. Skim
milk yields just half the fuel value
or calories that fresh whole milk
yields.
Night Blindness
Please explain what is meant by
night blindness. (Mrs. K. K. d.
Answer-Difficulty in seeing well
after shutdown or on entering a
dimly lighted room-that is great
er difficulty than normal persons
have. 1t is due to insufficient vita
min A in the diet.
Honey Lacks Vitamins
Did you say honey contains lit
tie or no vitamins? q. e. d.
Answer-Yes, none to speak of,
though honey is an excellent
wholesome food.

The other boy who knew no
more about flowers than he did
about pomegranates took the knife
and did as he was told. He was
very happy to help this master in
the big house at any cost. He
was none too gentle with the
dahlias and several of them sag

string and proudly handed it
over.

offered.

disdainfully. "And wash your

hop on his wheel and go for
stones. He was making a small
pond at the end of the yard tu
sail his boat.
But he heard his name uttered
by his mother, who was at the
telephone in the hall. He cooked
his ear and listened.

that women spend less money on
clothes and let one costume do for
many occasions with change of

earrings in gold or silver are smart.
Animal motives are popular In
Paris now, and turtles, monkeys,
dogs, cats, serpents and every sort
of animal are seen in modernistic
heavy costume jewelry.
For evening, pearls are still the
popular favorite and great ropes OF
them are featured on Chanel gowns
while Schiaparelli shows amusing
earrings composed of three large
loops of pearls which are hung
over the entire ear and bangle al
most to the shoulder.
Crystal is favorite with jewel
ers and often is seen In combina-
ton with white or green jade or
with lapis lazuli. Interesting clips
are shown which snap on the back
opening of short. wrist-length
gloves; and rhinestone clips in odd
shapes are used at either corner of

like ribbon clip of rhinestones is
used to catch a draped cowl neck.

 "I don't care if he's anemic," :" Reggie said. What I'm getting at is this: Will you marry me?' Mary Brown looked Haughtily at the blond young man on the living room davenport beside her.
 Why should I marry you?" she asked.
 With a jerk, Reggie drew in a firm brown chin until it threatened to slip beneath a size 15 collar. Recovered, he said: Well. con- sider the merits of my name. for instance. Mrs Hargrave Reginald Van Noy III sounds so much bet ter than plain Mary Brown" Not to Mary Brown it doesn't," Mary said.
 Reggie bowed gravely. First round to Mary ('KidD Brown" he announced.
 Consider" he resumed, 'the fact that I love you" Mary placed the Pekingese on the floor. She gave 1t a little pat and watched it scamper from the room.

 Reggie dropped his hands. How could I what?" he asked blandly. him, heatedly now. "One minute you loved me. The next I caught you kissing that hateful little minx. Sarah Lang"
 Reggie stroked his chin and eyed her. He did both reflectively. "Its -er--rather hard to explain" Lets have the truth.'
 Reggie nodded slowly. He rubbed the nails of his right hand against his vest for moment, then looked at them as he spoke. You can understand that I was treading on air after kissed you?"
 "Go on."
 Reggie cast mildly reproving glance at her impressive counte- nance and continued: Well, started through the conservatory and Sarah rose before me. She had been drinking. She said: I've been dying for q man to kiss me- !"
 "So you assumed that you were q man and kissed herr"

 Mary ignored him until he had picked up his hat and coat and had turned to go. She looked up then.
 There will be no return bout" he said, looking down at her. "l won't trouble you any more."
 Mary heard the front door close after him. She was crying the next moment. Wasn't she the perfect fool? In love with n man and re- fusing to marry him. All because she had found him holding another girl in his arms immediately after having expressed an undying love for her.
 His explanation had sounded pre- l posterous. Yet, 1t had had a ring of truth to 1t. And Sarah did drink. Now he was gone. For good. "No return bout" he had said. | Reggie had discovered new way to bleach things. That was the truth. too. She knew 1t, instinc- lively. And she had called him q wastrel.
 She heard the doorbell ring. Sbo listened and heard no footsteps proceeding to answer it. It rang again in a few moments. | She walked him down the hall way and swung open the door. Through the darkness and the tears she distinguished mans form.
 "I-I don't wa-want any shoe laces," she sobbed.
 "Tm selling myself, lady," Reg. gie's gay voice said, and two arms were clasping her close. two lips were kissing her ardently. | "Oh." Mary cried in surprise. "Oh," she repeated enraptured.
