 Paris. (UP)--Jean Patou now stresses 8 dark midnight blue satin which is called Raven Blue" at this house. It is used here for early spring afternoon gowns with small stitched satin hats to match.
 One youthful dress is fashioned with full short sleeves puffed over tight band pushed well up on the arm. The neck is slightly squared and trimmed at one side with a soft bow of the satin. The bodice falls in diagonal folds to an- other soft satin bow at the waist. A small satin hat, stitched all over and trimmed with 8 feather quill in raven blue completes the costume.
 A lightweight coat for afternoon wear comes in black wool. Patou trims the wide, turnback collar with astrakhan- -broadtail in black.
 For dinner wear Patou shows a simple black dress in soft wool jer- sey. The new jerseys are so soft and so fine in texture that they adapt themselves well to intricately cut and stitched evening clothes. The black gown is worn with a hip- length jacket of turquose blue tus- sor. The jacket is fitted and is un- trimmed but for a luxurious collar of silver fox fur, which extends down the front opening as far as the waist .t.

the next, bleak ana CneeTleSS. WILL all the vacilating moods of the fair sex, April is appropriately the month of the Spring bride.
 It would however, be well for the bride-to-b to take a hint from the weather man and try to curb her tendencies toward changing moods, and outbursts of temperament, after marriage. So often the devoted It. tie wife takes the wrong road in her desire to make over the young husband.
 She knows his little faults and peculiarities, just as she knows his devastating technique in love-mak- ing. Long before the wedding she promises herself that here is her real job; and the honeymoon is scarcely over, than she starts pick ing him apart. No man enjoys be- ing watched, nagged and reminded of his faults. No matter how gen. tie and sugar coated these correc- tive measures might be, they are hard for fellow to swallow, and in time, the most loving husband will rebel against them.
 Take the husband who is inclined to imbibe too freely, when out on a party. Without doubt he needs 9 little restraint now and then; but as party succeeds party, and the eyes of the wife always shooting arrows of warning in his direction, he will develop a resentment to- ward his wife.
 Tn time he will think of her as his jailer, and the ball and chain of matrimony will weigh upon his sense of fun and freedom.
 If you would be happy though married, beware of nagging, fault finding and making over friend husband. As boyse will be boys, men will also be themselves whether we like 1t or not.

 Your Children

Johnnie was nearly through with his story. Tn just minue, now, the pirate gold would be discovered, the rollicking crew would carry the iron box to the black ship, and sail away to spend the coins.
 In just ne-more-minute .
 "Johnniep
 He didn't answer because he was 50 far away, on a desert island, that he did not hear.
 Johnnie, oh, Johnniel"
 "Yes, Tnotherl"
 Put that book down this min- ute and go to the store"
 "Oh, gee, mom, just half sec ond. Golly, I'm almost through"
 You can finish when you come back. And don't say 'golly." I want a loaf of bread, two pounds of sugar, 8 box of matches, and some lettuce. And hurryi Haven't I told you to drop everything when l speak and come instantly"
 Attention Remains At Home
 So Johnnie put aside his book, with one paragraph yet to be read, and walked down a forest path, in 8 strange, exciting world in search of pirate gold, although his real destination was the corner grocery store and he only passed the neigh bors' houses. It was small wonder that he came home with some celery instead of lettuce; two loaves of bread, and one pound of sugar!
 Had Johnny's mother said: John nie, I have an errand for you to do at the store. When you come to place in your story where you can stop, will you go, please?" Johnnie would have cheerfully accepted the task. A minute or two wouldn't have made any difference in the purchases.
 Justly Resent Interruptions
 No one, adult or child, likes to be interrupted constantly at the things he is doing. A feeling of resentment always follows. Quite likely Johnnie will carry his book out of ar-Shot the next time he finds a Robert Louis Stevenson or Edgar Allen Poe treasure.
 Had the mother evinced a little interest in the story asked an in teligent question or two, waited with patience, her errand would have been taken care of and John nie, in the happiness of finding an audience, might have helped her arrange the table for dinner.
 Every human being, seven or seventy, has a right to certain emo tional privacy. Nothing shatters 1t so swiftly as the quick command ment: When I call you, I want you to comel"

 A cinder in the eye can be a cause for thanksgiving if, after the oculist has extracted it, he tells you, as mine did not long ago, @ few eye facts that will help keep orbs bright and young.
 For one thing, he said, when your eyes are 50 tired that things blur and jump before them, they probably need, not 50 much rest as exercise. You know eyes have mus cles that get taut and tired like any other part of our complicated orr 1 ganism, and have to have their daily dozen.
 Before you begin to exercise, relax your entire body including your eyes. Then look straight ahead at spot on the wall. Don't blink. Hold the position for few seconds. Now close your eyes and imagine you are looking at coal-black velvet. Open them, look straight ahead, then up to the right, up to the left, down to the right, down to the left. Do this several times. Then again eyes straight ahead-very angelic, this pose. Do it ten times. Once more eyes straight ahead, then look down ten times.
 Do these exercises with vim and vigor and see, after you have fln- ished, if that cramped, tired feel ing hasn't left them. Your mirror will reflect bright, sparkling eyes, the whites clear and uncongested.
 Add to the daily dozen equip ment, a good eye wash to be used night and morning or as often as you need 1t Certainly whenever you are dressing to go out); . good tissue cream to spread on very tenderly at night under the eyes and over the lids; and plenty of sleep. Your eyes will have itl

HOW MUCH vITAMIN C YOU
 NEED

NEED
 According to Dr. s. c. Slo-Bodkin of Brooklyn N. Y, who writes in Medical Times, 8 child requires half an ounc eof orange juice day, an a6 Ilt requires one glass of orange juice, one lemon and one-quarter to one half a head of lettuce daily, to provide the necessary amount of vitamin c, and otherwise known IS cevitamic acid and cebion.
 In these days of commercial pro- cessing involving treatment of foods with sulphur, cthylene, hot house ultraviolet irradiation, chemical sprays, bleaches, forced drying and heating without vac uum, one has to be o nthe alert to geo sufficient vitamin c.
 A certain daily ration of vitamin c in one form or another is essen- tial 10 prevent dental defects, mal- nutrition and Scurvy. An adequate supply of vitamin c tends to main- tain proper weight, energy, com- plexion and good teeth.
 Certain animals have scurcy when deprived of vitamin c while certain others seem not subject to this condition. Thus guinea pigs, dogs, monkeys ard human beings develop scurvy; but white rats, mice ard rabbits do not.

i portionate to it's loss of vitamin c. Cooking or boiling or heating de- stroys vitamin c, especially when the ai' has access to the food. But cooking or heating in vaccum is much less destructive to vitamin C. This explains why factory canned tomato or tomato juice is a good source of vitamin c for infant feeding, whereas home caned fruits or vegetables are not.
 Fresh or vacuum canned toma- to juice is equivalent to orange juice in vitamin c content, and contains about eight times as much vitamin A as does oragn ejuice. Orange juice, however, is more nourishing one ounce yields 12 calories, com pared with tomato juice, one ounce of which yields only 6 calories.
 Habitual deficiency in the vita min c ration may be cause oi the commoneSt type of anemia, and in such anemia an optimal ra- tion of vitamin c that is more vitamin c daily than is ordinarily deemed necessary to prevent defici- ency disease--is more effective treatment than iron, liver or other remedies
 A liberal supply of vitamin c, &C., cording to some research inveStiga- tions, may prevent tooth decay.
 Symptoms of scurvy, due to lacl. of vitamin c, are Spongy swollen bleeding gums, loosening of teeth, pains in legs, black and blue marks from trivial or no apparent causes. A state of latent or slight scurvy occurs in students and others who try to subSist on q restricted diet without fresh vegetables, and fruits, characterized by anemia, vague rheumatic" pains, irritability, dull ness and the tendency to show black and blue marks or to develop ineXplicable discolorations from minute hemorrhages under the skin.
 Besides oranges and tomatoes or their juices, most fresh vegetables, greens and fresh fruits are excel- lentsources of vitamin c. Pure vi- tamin C. as already mentioned, is now available, and might serve to supply this factor to explorers and others who cannot obtain fresh food

Q.--Is 1t possible for a child to have scarlet fever without a rash, or without peeling of the skin?
 A.-Scarlet fever occasionally is 80 mild that the rash is transient or not visible. In such cases the peeling also is so sligk. as to be hardly aparent. Nevertheless, such an attack of scarlet fever will protect against future attacks. It is possible by skin test to de- termine whether such people will develop scarlet fever again if they happen to be ex- posed to it.

General belief prevails that the meat of poultry is much more digestible and nutritious than the lean meat of beef, and Further, that the white meat of poultry furnishes less material which may produce uric acid than does the dark meat.
 Scientifically controlled studies do not seem to verify these im- pgessions. There is evidence, how eger, that the light meat, such as that of the breast, js more ten- der and, therefore, more likely 10 be digested easily than the hsauBcle meat of the thighs.
 In poultry meat, as in beef or ether meats, the protein is the substance of chief concern. Poul- kxy offers from 16 to 2l per cent Gf protein, and the amount of fat varies with the age and food of the bird Ducks, geese, squab, and turkey provide far more fat shan do other poultry.
 The quality of poultry meat varies also with the age and sven the sex, in addition to the food on which the birds are rAissd. Chickens are classified as young and old, the young chick ans being divided into brOilers, fryers. roasters. and capons; the old chickens into stags, fowls, and mature males.
 There are similar classificatio For turkeys, ducks. and geese.
 sThs meat of male birds usu- ally is darker, tougher, and more etringy, and 1t contains less fat, than that of females. Milk fed chickens are said to have their &at more widely distributed than have corn-fed chickens.
 But there is still some argu- Tnent over this point. The fat of the milk-fed chicken is winter than that of the corn-fed variety. aBesideS the meat, as in the case of cattle and other animals, you should remember that the liver, the kidney, the heart, and aIandular organs of poultry con- tain much of the most valuable material from the point of view of nutrition.
 Americans annually consume about 21 pounds of chicken per rlerson. More than billion E5hby chicks are matched annually fn the United States. Of this uumber, two-thirds are matched in fncubators.
 Chickens make up 00 per cent nf the poultry used in the United atateg. Then there are turkeys, esese. ducks. squab. pigeons,
