 Her father nodded. She heard the outer door close and knew that Phil was on his way. The doctors home was on the other side of town. Phil could telephone from the store on the corner. No-he couldn't. It wouldn't be open at this time. But the Nicolcttis had a telephone. He could wake them. Tom Henderson's eyes were closed now. He lay back against the pillow and for one terrifying moment something icy frightened about the girls heart. Then her father opened his eyes again. Slow color came back into the girls checks.

Natural Versus Synthetic Foods
 In the course of letter from Il noted pediatrician and research worker 1 am struck with this re- mark: Some of the observation $ we make in animal cXperimen ents can be applied to human beings" There speaks the physician of ex- perience. Although he has done and is doing notable work in the study of nutrition, this doctor still regards clinical experience as the best authority. Such a doctor will not lead his patients in stam- pede for the latest "scientific" remedy and then leave them there while he scurries off after some still later dictum of subsidized science. have listened to the same pediatrician research mdn describe, before the medical Soc ciety, his experience with one af- ter another vitamin D carrier for prevention and treatment of rick cts, and how his Staith in the efficacy of the synthetic vitamin carriers diminished as the pur- ported potency of the remedies in- creased, until at last he had come back to natural sources.
 Steenbock himself found that synthetic vitamin D (viosteroi) must be fed in doses enormous ly greater than the, dose of nn- tural vitamin D Gin food or in plain cod liver oiD, to produce the same anti-rachitic effect.
 We plodding practitioners scarcely know what it is all about when the manufacturers of syn thetic vitamins come a running with products of steadily increas- ing potency-25O units, 500 units, 1000, 10000 and so on up, till we are dizzy with the wonder of 1t all. But after they have giv- on us the run around with all the high pressure scientific sounding hokum, as duly approved and sanc- tified. by the Council on Foods and Folderol of the A. NJ. A., there comes time when we sit back and sinquire brcuthlessly what's the big idea anyway?
 We suspect that one of the lab oratory differences or observations which can not be applied to hu- man beings in this system of meas uring vitamin rations by rat units. True, the rat seems to thrive on a mixed diet of the same charac- ter as that which best nourishes civilized people. But there is little between rats and men in the general biological sense, and it Is hardly logical to assume that we may safely apply Knowledge gained from the study of rat physiology or pathology to human health and sickness. r M J,'
 One ounce of cream cheese con- tains 1,4O0 units of vitamin A.. One ounce of American cheese con- tains TOO units. One ounce of butter contains 1,4OO units. One ounce of carrots contains 940 units.

Right in the category with beauty aids that cost nothing is a particularly easy-todo Jac Auer health exercise. It stimu- lates sluggish circulation, encour- ages the liver to do it's work prop erly, thereby eliminating yellow ish, sallow tones in the skin, and keeps the body supple. It won't make you lose many pounds but, like swimming. 1t will equalize your weight.
 When you get up in the morn ing, drink two full glasses of luke warm water. Then do this exer- else:
 Sit on the floor with back straight and legs spread wide apart. Now, without bending your knees, stretch forward as far as you can, making fingertips touch the floor beyond your feet. Hold the position three seconds and then sit upright again. Repeat>ten times.
 Plain. simple bending exercises are good for circulation and they encourage the digestive organs to work efficiently, too. Stand erect with the right arm stretched above your head. Then bend to- ward the left as ia ras you can, keeping your head back. Reverse, holding the left hand up and bend- ing down toward the right. Don't repeat more than ten times the first day. ".<

PARIS STYLES By MAR, KNIGHT

 Paris OuP).-A whole coat of manipulated mink is just one single item from the luxurious wardrobe gathered up in Paris by the Princess Beatrice of Spain before her marriage to Prince Alessan ancro Torlonia in Rome.
 Every one of the skins. more- over. was imported directly to the Maison Helm from Canada. Helm designed it himself on very classical lines. faring slightly toward the hem. with wide sleeves and narrow collar.
 The royal travelling costume, in which the bride started forth on her honeymoon, consisted of a navy blue, ensemble trimmed with squirrel fur. The skirt was mid-calf in length and the coat three-quarters. Princess Torlonia wore :, blouse of lozenge patterned silk in blue and white. Her gloves were of the huff type, trimmed with squirrel, and she wore q blue hat of the same material as her ensemble, and trimmed with squir- rel. >c5 seH..,

MOST MODERN SOCIETY GIRLS
 MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESSES
Exap Prove Debs Attitude Tozcad Regular Jobs Hos Changed

From real estate to dude rancIIIng runs the list of Occu- nations in which society girls
 are engaging today. Mary Margaret Mcbride In the
 second of three articles, lntrO-
 duccs several business women from prominent families.
 By MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE NEA Service Stan Correspondent New York-"The society girl is a total loss in the business world" the woman head of an employ ment agency told me five years ago. "She enters it generally un- prepared, inspired only by mon- etary enthusiasm and unwilling to meet the demands that are made upon her"
 Stern words, these! But the same woman can be kind on oc- casion. The other day she said: "The society girl of today is diff ferent. She comes into the busi- ness field equipped to meet Its problems and with real desire to work. Add her boise and so- cial training to this, and you have a formidable rival for the girl who has had fewer advantages"
 Sure enough, survey of the business field shows that young women wit well-known names are trying nearly anything. from feeding friends and strangers dogs their daily balanced rations to hunting up genealogies.
 E.l0pcmcnts Take
 Two or Jobs
 Recent smart set elopements have withdrawn two from the list of socie ity girls who last year went in for careers as models. When Anne Gould, daughter Of the Jay Goulds, ran away with a young man from Texas, she real iZed than in the Panhandle coun- try there would be no chance to go on with her posing, so she gave 1t all up. She may, however, de- vote her extra time to art, for she studied painting at the Beaux Ars School in Paris for more than two years.
 Beatrice Hudson, in marrying Phillip Ammidown, also has left a model job open for somebody. There is, however, no lack of so- ciety volunteers to fill the ranks. For instance, Elaine Richardson, Anne Valentine. Mrs. William Wetmore, Eugenia Woodruff, ana many others either regularly or on occasion show off beautiful clothes professionally or pose for artists and photographers.
 Publicity runs mdelling close second as debutantes choice of a pleasant and fairly easy profess sion. Among those who have taken the lead 1t 1t are Dorothy Went worth King, and Katrinka Van Courtland Suydam Rocker. Mrs. Rocker, in addition, once kept on file list of society girls and ma- irons who would pose for adver- tisements or undertake similar work for pay. A
 Nancy Hecksher, granddaugh- ter of August Hecksher, made such good thing of the real es- tate business that some of her friends were inspired to try 1t too. Faith Rockefeller, of the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Swimming

Is is harmful in any way for one who has had a mastoid operation to go in swimming? (B. V. Jr.)
 Answer-Not in open water, but if you swim in pool wear suit able plugs of wool (not cotton) ,n both the nostrils and the ears, ana breathe entirely through the mouth while swimming. Tn fact 1 think it wise for any one who swinls in pool to wear wool plugs iI both nostrils and breath through the mouth while in the water.
 Neat Trick
 Since salt is good for digestion and soda bicdrb corrccts aciditv, occurred to mo to combine the two. but friend says such Il combina- ton would knock the taker for a row of obituaries .. (B. M.)
 Answer-Salt is not good for digestion, and saleratus does not correct acidity. However, taking the two in combination would do no more harm than taking either salt or soda.
