Living $50

BY EDWARD McCOLLUM.

GNCE food scientists have discov-
~ cred the importance Of the endo-
erin glands in relation to digestion,
much attention has been given to the
research work necessary for q COM
plete understanding Of the functions.
These little master chemists" called
glands, assemble the material they
find in the food supply and combine
them into what the scientific world
has termed 'harmonies," which are
vitality essential to every phase Of body
action.
The one gland that seems to be the
dominant factor in control of digestive
processes is the thyroid gland. often
called the gland of emotions, because
1t seems to react SO speedily to chang
ing emotions and influences Of the
environment. The truth is, however,
that the thyroid gland controls emo
tions to very great degree.
Simple goiter enlargement Of the
thyroid gland is always accompanied
by temperamental changes that affect
the emotional life Of the sufferer,

The thyroid gland can suffer with
out the evident external indications
that are present in cases of goiter.
Many conditions frequently blamed on
the stomach really originate in NAL
function Of the thyroid gland, and
because there is no visible enlarge
ment. the source of the trouble Is
too frequently overlooked.
The most important food factor for
the thyroid gland is iodine. But this
Is not the antiseptic iodine Of the
medicine cabinet. It Is the iodine
that Is found in natural food and
water,
Our problem then Is how to include
sufiicient amounts of this necessary
element IN daily menus. by Fay OF

o small square to be his very own,
supply him with some seeds and his
own small-sized garden implements,
and turn him loose in his own par
ticular Eden to make of 1t what he
can.
You will find that he becomes in
tensely interested in the progress OF
his garden patch, especially as he is
working in competition with the older
generation. The main thing to guard
against Is his desire to dig up the
seeds again to see if they are sprout-

your patience and your ambition, you
must place your bit of earth in the
hands of a good nursery man or
garden supply shop. and follow in
structions to the letter
Once the ground Is in a receptive
state, you can enter upon the scene,
armed with all the gardening equip
ment on which your desires and your
pocketbook agree. There are fasci-
mating things to be found now in the
shops, from knee pads to gloves, to
add to the efficiency Of the budding
horticulturist. There are scissors that
hold the cut stem of the flower for
YOUR convenience, instead Of letting
it fall to the ground; there are bas-
kets on tall spikes to hold tools or
flowers at Notwithstanding level;
copper watering pots reflect the sun
with golden intensity, and modernistic
wheelbarrows actually decorate the
landscape instead of being a blight
upon it.
OF COURSE, there is no end to
~ the sprays and death-dealing
mixtures on hand to take care of your
flowers when they prove too tempting
for the insect world. Armed with
these and a book on plant diseases,

The big markets will soon be full
of plants-such as petunias, pansies,
bachelor buttons, snapdragons and SO
on, that may be bought for q very
small sum, and successfully trans
planted to your own yard. Growing
plants from seeds Is tedious and
rather difficult affair in the average
small house and these hardy plants
from the markets give immediate ef-
feet, and are far simpler to manage.
In a very small space a choice Of
two or three colors chosen to har-
monize with each other, is advisable.
Deep purple and white petunias
against a gray stone walk are always
lovely, and yellow and blue flowers

blue flowers are particularly effective
against a black fence.
With careful planning and thought,

BY EDITH M. BARBER.

IF YOU look back over your party
= experiences, which are the ones
you remember? Why. Of course, the
ones that were different.
When I first began to 60 to parties
menus were perfectly stereotyped. For
. bridge party Of the formal type
there must be cold ham, cold tongue,
chicken salad, potato croquettes,
picked peaches, hot rolls, brown bread.
coffee. ice cream and cake. This
simple little menu" was served at 4:30
or in the afternoon. after which you
went home to your usual dinner.
That old United States custom, for
tunately, is pretty well in the discard.
Luncheons are served at noon before
bridge or the simplest kind Of tea re-
freshments come afterward. Lunch
cons follow no rules. In fact, they
may even be breakfast, If you want to
give your friends the opportunity of
sharing with you that maple sirup
from upstate.
An unforgettable luncheon in my
past is that one which started out with
grapefruit, followed by tiny baked
sausages, creamed potatoes and wafiles
with the famous maple sirup. There
was coffee. of course, and dishes plen-
tifully supplied with celery hearts and
thin slices Of tender raw carrots.
There Is another memorable lunch
con that began with q cream of mush-
room soup made from . recipe for
which the hostess is famous and for
which guests always beg. Then came
q mixed salad, called Mexican, ar
ranged on a huge chop plate. Around
the edge were ham rolls-thin slices
Of Virginia ham rolled around cottage
or cream cheese. Potato croquettes
were passed, as well as hot rolls and
strawberry jam. For dessert there
were hot chocolate puffs with supreme
sauce. Coffee was served with dessert.
Among my friends are a young
couple exceedingly popular with a
group, most of whom are older and
better established financially. Yet this
couple has made a reputation for
themselves as host and hostess, be-
cause, instead of trying to compete
with their friends, they entertain in
o different way. Being from New
England, they ask their friends to en-
Joy with them typical New England
food, and their supper parties of fish
cakes. baked beans and brown bread
and their chowder parties have be-
come famous.
OF course, do not mean to say that
parties following the general rule will
not be successful. They can get their
originality from the inclusion of one
or two novel touches in one or more
courses. For instance, q hot mush-
room canape for first course and
baked tongue with blackberry jelly
for q main course, or the novel COM
bination of string beans and celery
dressed with cream for a vegetable, or
special tomato dressing for the crisp
lettuce salad, or dessert Of lemon ice
favored with minted cherries.

Fads Facts and Fancies for the Upto-the Minute Fe

love only on one side? A

should be, kind, considerate, depend
able, honorable, upright and well-to-
do, but with all Of these good qualities,
I do not love him. have tried hard
enough, but my efforts have been use
less. Five years ago fell in love
with q man who really cared nothing
for me, took me out only when he had
nothing else to do, who lied to me,
stood me up repeatedly and used me
simply as a doormat, but 1t didn't
matter. took anything just to be
with him now and then. Four years
have passed since we last met. but he
is still in my mind and heart.
Shall I marry this fine fellow who
loves me dearly, knowing will be a
dutiful wife, will give him respect,
admiration and everything else mar
riage demands of wife-except love?
So I ask again, can marriage be a
success with love only on one side?
WONDERING.
A NSWER: No. Never. Especially
when one Of the parties to the
marriage loves some one else. For
between the husband and wife there
will stand forever the shadowy ghost
of the old romance, that will keep
them from ever really coming together
in the oneness that alone makes mar
riage success.
There Is no truth in the old super
stition that new love automatically
kills an old love. Many men and
women think that marriage is PAN
acea for bnghted affections, and that
as soon as the marriage ceremony is
said over them, their wounded hearts
will cease to throb with pain, the men,
ory of the old sweethearts will be
blotted from their minds, and they
| will no more crave the touch of a
vanished hand.
NOTHING Of the kind happens. On
the contrary. the very fact that
the beloved one is beyond reach, the
fact that he or she Is forbidden, makes
him or her more alluring. That per-
son becomes memory, dream for
ever embedded in the amber of ro-
nance, something that can never be
destroyed, because it exists only In
the imagination. Always those who
marry without love will be contrast
ing this paragon Of their dreams with
the imperfect human being to whom
they are married.
Nor is love the solace it Is sup
posed to be. Nothing Is more thrill
ing than to be loved by one you love
Nothing Is so boring as to be loved by
one you do not love. Kisses are fire
on the lips, or dust and ashes. Caresses
thrill, or you shrink away from them
with repulsion. Nothing gets on the
nerves like having to pretend to emo
tions you do not feel, like having tc
summon up joyous smile for some
one of whom you are tired, like hav-
ing to remember to be tender and
affectionate.

Keeping Wave in Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds-My hair just sim
ply will not keep q curl in 1t. I get
wave put in by a hairdresser and
before I arrive where I am going my
hair is as straight as before. I can
not afford q permanent wave. What
can I do? NEW READER.
Answer-Before having your hair
marcelled 1t must be shampooed very
thoroughly. An experienced hair
dresser should be able to curl your
hair with hot irons SO that it will last
longer than YOU say. A steam marcel
might be more effective than o plain
one. The cost of several shampoos
and waves would amount to the same
as one permanent, 50 ! think it would
pay you to save up until you can
afford the latter. Finger waves will
| not stay in hair like yours: heat is re-
quired to overcome the straightness.
Perhaps you could find q becoming
way to wear your hair straight. Or
you might just have permanent ring
lets on the ends Of your bob: this
would cost little. LOIS LEEDS.

How can I make my skin thicker and

Answer-You cannot make your
skin any thicker and less sensitive.
You have inherited this type Of skin
and can do nothing about it. You
can use suntan liquid powder to make
your skin darker and to protect it

oman 1ov,ng care every day.

1T is often observed that the COM
ing generation, the children now
growing up, give promise of being
bigger, stronger, healthier and more
vigorous than their parents or any of
their ancestors. One cause of this
is undoubtedly the growing knowledge
of nutrition, hygiene and scientific
methods of building sound bodies.
The diseases Of childhood that used
to cause damaged hearts and joints
are. in many cases, being prevented by
antitoxfns and vaccines. Rickets are
being prevented by sunshine, Htamin
D, and foods containing lime and
phosphorus.
Lime is an essential in forming bone
and teeth. It is generally recognized
by nutritionits that the shortage Of
lime is one of the commonest defici-
encies in our ordinary diet. We need
both lime and vitamin D. especially
for infants and growing children.
Sea foods contain a great abun-
dance of lime. In the shellfsh, such
as oysters, clans, scallops, Holsters,
crabs and shrimp, the lime Is abb
sorbed from the water and food and
deposited in the shell. But, for some
reason not now well understood. fish
also have much lime. Note the fol-
