 Paris (UP)-Although it is frees- ing cold in Paris, coutueriers have forgotten all about icy blasts and have their heads deep in plans for spring clothes.

 Your chin and It's skin need spe- cial attention ct this time of year. m tho first place, as nearly every one gains c little weight during tho winter, c few ounces of the added poundage are bound to show just below tho chin. Secondly, coal dust in the cir and fur collars combine to lodge foreign substances In the pores Of this area.
 You should, of course, clean your face and especially your chin often and even mere thoroughly in winter than in summer. # pores seem larger (don't walt un. til you notice Q single blackhead) improve upon and increase tho frequency of your cleansing rou. tines ct once. Don't rely on oithoF cream or soap and water. Use both - cream, then soap, if your skin Is oily, and soap, followed by cream if it is dry or normal.
 Sometimes daily use of coili- piexlon brush will romove dirt from the pores of tho skin. r this is too harsh, try c rough weshcloth. Masks are good, too. Special blaekhead preparations are worth Q trial. Remember that pinehing end moldlng with thumb and side oi foyeiinger along the jawbono help to preserve tho natural contour oi your face. No matter how gently you put creams and lotions on tho rest of your face, actually slap them an your chin and always give t on extra slap or two before you retnove night cream.
 In addition, lot me remind you again that many Q double chin comes from bad posture alone. Il the head Is carried high with the muscles at the sides of the neck supporting 1t, there will he nc extra roll of fat below your jaw bone - unless, of course, you ara just plain overweight.

 Food Suggestions M Mir. Mary N. Dnana

It was Aunt Nolllo's appendicitis operation that taught me how 0lm- cult it ia to cater Co on invalid og convalescent who cannot have the food that is prepared fer the faln- fly. Hearty meats and vegetables. pastries and hot buildings have no place on the invalids trey, 60 gpe- olal dishes must ho prepared for the aillng one.
 Every efloFt should be made to tempt the invalid Co oat well and regularly. The pAtienta appetite nay bo capricious and the cook is bound to spend hours racking her brains for Inviting and nouEishins dishes.
 Variety and the element of sure prise are essential. Meal time is an oasis in the uionotony of the izl- valid's day, but if egg and toast al- ways appear in the same form, tho patient can't he expected to wax enthipiAstic about them. OS course, tho doctors oFders about diet must Do carefully followed. Supplement Mllk With Erult
 When milk is the basis of the convaloscont's diet, 1t generally may Do supplemented with fruits. Pure orange juice. slightly sweetened and diluted grapefruit juice and iemon- | ade are particularly desirable and available at this time of year. Gan. ned and stewed dried fruits also can Do used.
 The person who does not like milk | to drink should Do served cream soups, vegetables in well-mAde cream sauces and desserts made with milk or else served with cream.
 Eggs should bo used generously unless the patient strongly dislikea and has an idosyncracy against them. Poached, coddled or shirred, they can take the place of meat. In eustards CT beaten into milk end iiAooEed with vanilla or nutmeg, they are nourishing and easily di- gestod.
 The dessert made with milk and eggs adds quito As much nourish. mont to the. meal as if it were tho main dish and ct the same time is dainty and appealing. Use the utmost care in devoEing. Too sweet or two highly favored dishes usually will not please an invalid.

To.DAY's HEALTH QUESTION

.,Q. Can you suggest some- thing that will stop teeth grinding during sleep?
 A. Teeth grinding during sleep is @ nervous condition which may be the result of any one of many disturb ances. While 1t is true that, in children, wormJ may be the indirect cause, more fre- quently 1t is irregular or late eating, over-exhaustion, or any habit that may result in nervousness.
 Tn such cases, all condi- tions that might result in overtaxing the nervous sys- tenn should be eliminated. In adults there is also the neces- sity of conquering a long, established habit, after the cause has been eliminated. A suggestion for sufferers is 6 night appliance, which can be attached to the teeth in such manner as to prevent grinding.

 You who regularly throw away your green beet and turnip tops un- doubtedly will be surprised to learn that, weight for weight, they are twice as rich as eggs in one valuable vitamin.
 This is vitamin B2 or c, import ant in treatment of pellagra. In this serious disease, the skin, par ticularly those parts exposed to the sun becomes red. The tongue is soft and irritated, and the bowels loose. Tn many instances, the body becomes extremely thin, and even the mind may be affected.
 Whether deficiency of vitamin B2 or c is the only or even the Outstanding factor, 1t certainly is regularly associated with pellagra.
 Besides green tops, diet rich in milk, meat, yeast, and egg yolk will prevent the appearaonce of pel- lagra; in early cases, 1t has been well established, a cure may be Gzkected.
 Vitamin c is found in the same foods as vitamin B1, with one ex- neption. That is the white of egg. which contains vitamin Bl, but not vitamin B2.
 Incidentally, vitamin B2 is not destroyed by heat and may be found in canned foods as well as in fresh ones. If you are healthy, and are eating the essentials of an ade- Muate diet, don't worry about any deliciency of vitamin B2.
 4 shortage of this vitamin will, however. check the growth of chil- dEen, and gradually injure the health Of a human being at any aee. when it is absent. even for any considerable length of time, ehere are digestive disturbances. general weakness, and an un- healthy condition of the skin.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

As I write. the world is turning into Q black and white etching-- just enough black branch and wall to accent the oil onveloping snowiness of c Japanese mural. shrubs and evergreans outside my study window have blossomed from trunk to twig-tip with feathery snow that gives an illusion of white. lowered spring. To write of "peos pic" ct such c moment would saver aimost of profanity. The earth is silent, white and mine.
 I should like to indulge my mood of aloneness midst this beauty. 70 always seems to me that appreciA. ton of the lovely iS deeper and finer in solitude and quiet. The panorama of the stars brings its own hush. An enameled sky ct sun. sot commands Q thundeFous silence. Beauty has . way of clearing . path for itself by first conditioning the senses, Those who exciaini and gush arc seldom emotionally touched.
 Beauty Isn't Always Impressive
 But after ell, what is beauty9 I am afraid my snow storm hes ap. pealed to me too strongly because 1t is rare. There arc other snoWs and other storms that effect me not in the least, because I am acquaiat- cd with them. This one, by freak of weather conditions, has chcsen to ye.drape the world. Thus ! select 1t as my criterion because it does not conform to the usual. l deserve
 no medal for being impressed.
 Beauty is, therefore, difzieult to define. We rhapsodize over spring because 1t s Aeeting. Year-round blossoms would soon have no more notice than the roof of the next house. If every sunset were the same no one would lift aa eye. Stars come in for attention only or c magic night finds us needing when we happen to think of them, them. A log fire, today the goal ot all house owners as the lest word in home beauty, was as matter of course ct one time as our own kitchen stove. t
 Most Are Blind to Beauty
 The truth is that we are con- stantly surrounded by beauty, The sky ct any time Is beautiful. Wealth. CT, dismal or cruel as 1t can be, iS paint- worthy. So are thousands Of things that we live and work among with entirely blind eyes.
 We have turned into sharply critical complainers. We choose to brand as ugly that which is indeed the reverse. We pass on to our chil- dren the doctrine of. fauit-findine instead of appreciation or even common acceptance. How thankful for seyen-league boots that swell our horizon, one not 50 many years ago bounded by the barn and the spring house, with church two miles away an unforgettable excurslop into infinity? @ one cannot live. of course. tn . perpetual state of ecstacy, but all of us, adult and child alike. might pack ten times more into this bslsi- ness we call life, if we acraped the scales from our eyes and really lu0k- cd, liked and loved.
