Take Walk for
Exercise
By NINE. QUI WYE

Getting steamed up about cal
isthenics is easy enough. Every
woman has that kind of a beau
ty spasm now and then. But
sticking to the determination to
give the muscles regular work
outs isn't easy at all. The spirit
weakens, and whatever is the
use, anyhow, when the rouge
pot and the lipstick supply syn
thetic evidence Of health and
activity?
Not real evidence, just coun-
terfeit. The purpose of exercise
is to make the blood streams
march, to put the digestive sys-
tenn in a cheerful condition. to
help the skin to function, to re-
fresh the mind.
Walking is good exercise, II
properly accomplished. 1t helps
to mold the figure to normal
proportions. It keeps down
weight if there's enough mile
age covered. 1t is possible to
everyone.
The business girl can tramp
to work and back again, or part
of the way. The mother can
take the children with her; it's
easier on the nerves than hav-
ing them turn the house upside
down. Even the elders should
get out and hoof it.
The brisk walker who drinks
in fresh air, swings her arms,
steps lightly and quickly. chugs
up zest in the glow and warmth
that results from this form OF
muscular exertion. Her worries
fly away.
Place the whole foot upon
the ground with slightly more
weight on the toes than the
heels. Walk so that anyone
approaching from the front
will not see the soles of your
shoes. Point toes straight
ahead.
Garry the body we'll balanced.
A backbone stretched to its
full length tightens up the
muscular system, holds the
inner organs snug and where
they belong, flexes the abdom-
inal fibers, gives expansion to
the chest cavity.
It takes creases out of the
neck, reduces the hips, de-
velops the bust.

Other Fruits
For making this pudding with
fresh blackberries, l cup of
sugar and 2 level tablespoonful
of flour Sifted together are

2 cups of sugar are needed.
The pudding makes a sub

old-fashioned dessert but think
it will prove a favorite with you
as it has with us.

Etiquette
Formal Lunch
For Friend

By MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 wish to give a small formal
luncheon for my girl friends
sister who is visiting her. Is 1t
the proper thing to do?
"What should one wear for q
formal luncheon?
"How and when do you let the
guests know that you wish them
to come, and that it is to be
formal?
"ShOuId you invite only peo'
pie she knows, or is it proper to
invite anyone you wish?
"WOuld eight be too small
group? What should serve?
How and when do you set the
table? Do you serve liquor, and
what kind, and when? 1 have
one maid. She is cOlOred. If
she waits on the table should
she wear a white or cOlored uni
form?
IF 1 have candles on the table
and buffet, should they be
lighted? II so, when should
they be lighted? r."
Giving a luncheon in honor
of this friends sister is a de-
lightful gesture for you to make,
both to your friend and to her
sister.
A formal day dress or ensem-
BILE is the correct attire to wear
to a luncheon. And the guests
wear their hats at the luncheon
table.
The usual form of invitation
for a luncheon is a written note.
You would not need to tell your
guests that the luncheon is
formal" they will know that it
is a special party when you tell
them that it is to be given for
your friends sister.
FRUIT FIRST
You may, if you prefer, tele-
phone your invitation, or tele-
phone some and write notes to
others, if this is more con.
Venient.
It is proper to invite anyone
you wish. It isn't at all recess
sary to invite only people she
knows.
No: eight is a very convenient
number for a luncheon party.
For your first course at this
time of year it would be pleas
ant to have fruit in some form.
Or your first course may be a
jellied soup, such as madre-ne,
the color of which gives very
party air. Or you may serve a
hot soup. The meat course Of a
luncheon is always one of the
more delicate meat dishes, with
a vegetable such as new peas,
small string beans. asparagus.
For a summer luncheon, some
times hot soup is served and the
main course is a cold meat. The
dessert may be a pastry, or ice
cream or ice with a sauce. If
ice cream is served, small cakes
are served with it.

HOSTESS PAYS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

''Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Twill you please settle an
argument that have had with
some men friends? 1 maintain
that when a girl invites a man
to a dance or any other kind of
entertainment given by her club
or school class or any other
group to which she belongs, it
is she who furnishes the tickets.
Cali the other men in this
argument tell me that I am
all wrong. They maintain that
1t doesn't matter who gives the
invitation, that the man is ex-
pected to buy the tickets. We
decided to write to you to settle
this for us. Who is right, Mrs.
Beeckman?
IMAM READER"
You win, sir. When a girl in
ViteS a man to go with her to
a dance or other entertainment
where she is co-hostesS land she
Is when she is a member of the
group that is entertaining), she
should take it for granted that
she gets the tickets for the
party.
Her invitation is the first de-
tail Of her hospitality, and the
buying of the tickets is the Sec
ond detail. She isn't really be-
ing a hostess if she allows her
guest to pay for the hospital
ity; then. obviously, he be.
comes the host, and she be-
comes his guest.
Since any girl knows that
this question who-buys-the-
tickets is apt to arise. the
gracious and thoughtful girl
will make it plain to her guest
that she has the tickets. She
may, for instance. write him or
say to him something like this:
at have the tickets. Bob, and
I'll either keep them until the
night of the dance. or send
them to you for safe keeping
just as you prefer"

6 large ripe peaches
8 macaroonS
2 eggs
3 peach kernels
Confectioner'S sugar
Peel the peaches and remove
the stones. Scoop out a little OF
the pulp until you have about
three teaspoons. Crush and
roll the macaroons and add
them to this pulp, then add the
yolks of the eggs which have
been beaten vigorously. Sweeten
with confectioner'S sugar.
Last, add the kernels Of the

crushed to a paste. Stuff the
peaches with this mixture and
run into the oven in a buttered
dish to bake until the peaches
are soft. Take from oven,
make a meringue out Of the
whites of the eggs, beaten stiff,
and confectionery sugar. Top

desserts after the heavy meals
which were formerly served at

People have wondered about
that long time. The first clear
account of hay fever was in 1872
but men must have had it since
the beginning Of time, because
we have hints of it in medical
writings centuries old.
CENTURIES AGO
Botallo was an italian physl-
clan born as long ago as 1871.
He described in his medical
treatise the difference between
people as regards smells:
"The mind is SOothed by pleas
ant odors. They drive away un-
pleasant things. But sometimes,
although they are pleasant to
many, it happens that they may
be unpleasant to one. l know
men in health, who directly after
the Odor of roses have a severe
reaction from this, so that they
have a headache, or it causes
sneezing. or induces such a
troublesome itching in the nos
trils that they cannot, for
space of two days, restrain them
selves from rubbing them.
"FOr which reason the physi-
clan ought to avoid this, or any
other OdOr which Expresses the
patient, until he had cured the
patient: not indeed as QuintuS
acted, who las Galen narrateS),
smelling of wine, drew near a
rich and powerful patient, har-
assed by a severe fever. He
commenced to ask QuintuS If he
would move a little farther
away, so he would not then
carry the OdOr of wine; Quintus
instead then drew closer to him,
said roughly, Thou shOuldst
bear this odor of wine from me.
for I tolerated the stencil OF
fever from thee
STILL IN DARK
While modern medicine has
a fuller explanation Of the
cause of special sensitiveness to
plants and animals, it is almost
as much in the dark as to the
true nature of the condition as
Botallo.
"Allergy" is the name gen.
orally given to the condition.
Known syndromes which it pro
duces are hay fever, asthma
hives and gastro-intestinal al
leroy consisting of various
kinds of digestive upsets: Mi
graine may be a form OF allergy'
Allergy is the exclusive prop
erty of man: the lower animals
are not subject to it. 1t is strict
" subject to heredity.
The most approved explana'
ton is that of reagins Praus-
nitz-Kustner bodies). These fix
themselves to certain cells OF the
body, making these cells sensl-
tive to the presence OF certain
substances-plant pollen, ami
NAL dander, foods and many
other articles. That they are
associated with fixed cells and
not the blood makes them diff
ferent from the immune bodies
of the infectious diseases.
Thus, if the reagins existing
in the fixed cells of the skin
are assaulted by their specific
sensitization material, the re-
suit is hives; if the membrane
of the nose, hay fever; the It's
sue of the bronchial tubes, asth-
ma; of the digestive tract, gas
tro-intestinal allergy.

And you will see more variety in
color.
The other brimmed hats are
less sports-like, and will be worn
for street and afternoon. They
are mainly for immediate and
early fall wear, before you put
on a fur coat with a high collar.
Many will be black, because
people often buy a hat before
they buy clothes, and black is
safest.
