To their surprise some biology
students have discovered that all
living things are either plant or
animal. Very shortly the world
of invisible creatures will be open
to the sixty-four biological pion-
eers who are rapidly mastering
the use of the compound micro
scope. They have viewed the tiny
dust particles found on butterfly
and moth wings, only to find these
little particles to be comparable to
fish scales. In connection with
the study of the living cell the
high powered lens has proven a
valuable aid, enabling the class to
study cells of moss leaf and of an
onion bulb.
All English classes are review
ing grammar and will be for the
next three or four weeks. The
classes have had several oral talks
which sometimes turn out to be
arguments on politics, but never
theless, are still interesting.
Clarke Thomson has given up the
dea of trying to teach the English
class, football.
The typewriters in the Com
mercial Department are in very
much demand this year, due to
the large enrolment in the de-
partment. So far, every typewri-
ter has been in use after school
hours, for extra practice work.
The beginning classes are progress

few weeks we will be ready for
some real competition between
classes. Watch out, Seniors!
Anyone who had anything to do
with the new Athletic field can
feel well repaid for all his efforts
because the field is a pronounced
success. The night before the
game there were more curious
spectators out to see the night
lights than there were fans at all
of our games last year. Everyone
was in just the mood for a foot
ball game, and the weiner and
bun corporation did a rushing
business.

Faces and Fashions
Go Hand in
Hand.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

An OUTSTANDING Partisan cou-
turiere deserts her native shores
to design in America for American
women. There she Is designing youth
and beauty into her fashions and she
suddenly realizes that she can never
help women to achieve charm and
beauty in its complete sense until she
has contributed as much for their
faces as for the gowns.
She makes an observation that I'm
sure has occurred to every woman at
some time-only perhaps we have not
expressed it as perfectly to our
selves. No gown, no matter how costly,
can make q woman beautiful If her
face has lost its glow, if it is not ra-
diant, or if it is etched with wrinkles
or pulled down" by an unflattering
expression.
That is very true, isn't it? She goes
on to say that, "A truly great gown is
designed to call attention not to itself,
but to its wearer; and that beautiful
gown is only bitter irony when it ac-
companies not-so-beautiful face"
And best of all, she says, Beauty is
no longer gift-it's habit"
do think that these points are very
well worth remembering. particularly
now with the Spring buying season
approaching. When you are concen-
trating on your Spring wardrobe, give
thought to yourself, make sure that
you are not permitting tired look to
creep up on you in the hustle or shop
ping. A droopy look around the eyes
has way Of making even the freshest
gown look wilted.

has a stimulating cream that helps to
eradicate that early morning tired
look, bringing up the circulation and
giving the skin a healthy good morn
ing" appearance. It is also fine to
pep up tired face before an evening
engagement.
She also has special complexion
soap, night feeding cream, to be
used following the soap, and a hque-
flying, creamy lotion that turns to a
perfect base for rouge and powder.
And, because fashion presentations
are known as previews, there's a pre-
view combination set of toiletries
containing several items-an intro
ductory combination attractiyely
boxed and priced.
You see fashions and faces really do
go hand in hand. Therefore it is sheer
folly to neglect one or to favor one at
the expense of the other.

bottom is slightly Drowned.
Never salt meat that Is to be
grilled as it hardens the fibers
and tends to extract the juices.
Salt it on the platter just before
sending it to the table. No meat
should be salted uncooked, but
after the surface has been scared
and the meat partly cooked.

TN CASE you have forgotten some Of
the old pets of your childhood days,
here are a few suggestions to Jog your
memory:
REAL SCOTCH OATMEAL PoR-
RIDGE.
Allow just over one ounce of oatmeal
(coarse) to one cup water and one
saltspoon of salt. Bring the water to
the boil, sprinkle in the oatmeal with
the left hand and stir briskly with a
wooden spoon in the right hand (the
correct implement in Scotland Is
called porridge stick. When the
mixture is at full. rolling boil and
begins to thicken, cover the saucepan
and simmer gently for 80 minutes,
stirring occasionally. The salt should
be added after the porridge has boiled
for 10 minutes. When done. pour into
small bowls and serve with rich cream.
CRACKED WHEAT.
Add to three cups water one-half
teaspoon salt: when it boils add one
half cup cracked wheat and let it
cook, uncovered, until the water is
nearly all evaporated. Add three
cups hot milk, cover ami cook until
the wheat is soft. Then uncover and
cook to the right consistency. Ut
should be quite moist) Stir carefully
from time to time while cooking, but
do not break the grains. When done,
turn into molds to harden and serve
cold with hot milk and sugar, or serve
at once, hot, with cream.
CORNMEAL MUSH.
Sprinkle pint of cornmeal into
rapidly boiling water (salted), STIR
ring all the time. Cook for one-half
hour. Serve hot with cream and
sugar or honey. Leftover mush may
be allowed to cool. cut into slices and
Drowned on both sides in hot fat.
Serve as breakfast dish with sirup.

and ask for his suggestions on others
which may be gracing his shelves.
Some of the old-time favorites sit
vistfully in your neighborhood store,
sadly neglected just because the
housewives mind has begged at the
idea of finding something different"
for the morning meal!
In cold weather, hot cooked cereals
are really vitality important in the
health of the growing child-and
many hard working grown-ups can
profit by their consumption, too. Most
of the cereals now on the market are
especially processed so that the old
fashioned longtime cooking is un-
necessary-however, if you still prefer
that method it can be done without
getting up at the crack of dawn to
set the pot a-boiling.

TOOK the cereal the afternoon be-
fore, in a double boiler; turn out
the fire beneath it, and set 1t on the
back of the stove overnight. Next
morning, add fresh water to the bot
tom container. set over the fame, and
allow the cereal to reheat without
stirring. This will keep the finished
product from being lumpy, and the
actual morning preparation will take
only few minutes.
Most cereals are rich in potassium,
which is an important food for mus
cular development. and which also
has the factor of making wounds
heal quickly: in phosphorus, to help
the nerves and the brain; in 1ourine,
which has an attraction for calcium
and with silicon, makes the cement
that holds the calcium firm. Some
illnesses, such as mumps and influenza,
tend to deplete the store Of flourine
in the system, therefore cereals are
helpful to persons convalescing from
these diseases. Many cereals contain
nitrogen, for tissue building; magne-
SUM, for counteracting acidity; ron
for the blood; sodium to clean the
body cells: silicon to form protective

sweeten the body fluids: and some of
the coarser grains contain quantities
of fiber for roughage. Such lot of
food values in one little bowl at the
breakfast table!

In ADDITION to following the direc-
tions given on the ready-to-cook
cereals for the preparation of their
contents, the housewife can produce
the illusion of variety by changing
the form of the finished product in
some way of her own. Thus, one of
the finer white grained cereals may
take on an entirely different aspect
by being cooked with milk, to which
salt. sugar and a little cinnamon have
been added. Honey served instead of
sugar; raisins cooked into the dish
itself; fresh fruit sliced over the top
of the hot cereal-there are many
things one can do by exercising a lit
tie imagination and by taking a little
trouble. If there is leftover rice,

Indications
For Spring
From Paris
Keynotes of Style
Trends at Recent
Openings.
BY MARGARET WARNER.

FEBRUARY in Paris means sue
cession Of thrills from a fashion
standpoint. The haute couture, that
group OF master dlessmakers who tell
the world what to wear. again stages
its brilliant openings amid throngs Of
ultra fashionable women, representa-
tives from American houses and any
one who is clever enough to secure
admission, and the pace Is set for
new season.
Each house that bears a coveted
name, presents collections that will
influence what we will be wearing this
Spring and Summer. So feverish is
our desire to receive this information
and so important Is it to American
dressmakers and manufacturers, that
the news is flashed by radio from each
showing; long before the first actual
witness has returned to New York,
the news is on the desks Of the fashion
writers in our principal cities.
Certain definite sources have been
drawn upon by the French houses for
their inspirations, the most outstand-
ing of which is the current French
play "Margot," which has been Great
ing such furore in Paris with its
Medici background and costumes.
From this period have been derived
ruff collars as worn by Yvonne Prin-
temps in the play, square-shouldered
capes, yokes and peplums. Lingerie
neckwear with lots Of ruffles partic-
ularly reflects this influence.

The exhibit of Chinese art held in
London last Fall is still exerting an
influence upon fashions as shown in
short, loose-hanging coats, and per-
haps chiefly in the selection of colors
and prints, as well as in millinery
expressed in coolie hats and various
peaked crowns.
THE mannish style continues Its
dominance in the field of tailored
and sports clothes. with no signs of
waning Hats and vests in the man
nish mode emphasize the tailored suit
for street wear, and for dinner and
restaurant wear the suit is pre-eminent
in Spring showings. The culotte
skirt is taking the place of beach
pa ajamas, while notifications Of shorts
introduce knee-length skirts and
bloomers.
In fashions for evening. an unex-
pected influence was noted at the
| openings derived from the Directoire
period. introducing high waistlines in
redingotes, cape coats and the use Of
long scarfs. Waistlines seem to offer
a controversial topic, for altho some
houses sponsor the raised line. others
are showing a line below the normal.

there Is around the house yourself
I'll not deny that husband who sits
around like dummy and only grunts
when he is spoken to is aggravating
enough to live with. You never know
what he is thinking, and that keeps
any wife's curiosity at the boiling
point. But the silver lining to the
cloud is that the man who won't dis
cuss things with his wife leaves her
free to do as she pleases. The man
who is short on conversation never
nags and never gives any back talk.

but the trouble is she is too attrac-
tive. don't have any comfort when
I take her out in crowd, as she is
the type that attracts attention, yet
I must confess that she does nohing
to do so. She is well educated, has
Travelled a great deal, knows how to
dress, is very interesting to talk to-
Because she is always the center of
every crowd she goes In have asked
her to dress very plainly and to wear
black when she goes out, but it makes
no difference. People notice her just
the same. My children adore this
woman and will be terribly disap-
pointed If I do not marry her. love
he deeply, but feel that I would not
be happy with her. What do you
thing? AN UNDECIDED MAN.
Answer-I think you would be un-
happy with her because you are jeal-
GUS of her attractiveness. You want
the spotlight turned on you all the
time aid you simply couldn't stand it if
your wife had the center of the stage.
You would eat your heart out with

fuss over her and nobody paid you
any particular notice.
The sort of a wife you need is a
drab frumpy little woman who has
no more personality than an Irish
potato, who will keep your house and
rear your children and follow meekly
along about two yards behind you.
She won't distract attention from you,
and while you may be bored your
self-love will never be injured.

A LOT Of men feel as you do. They
- want wives who will look up to
them instead Of wives that they have
to look up TO. That is why the su-
perior woman is so often an old maid.
That is why we see the common spec
tacle of SO many brilliant men who
are married to dull, stupid women who
don't know what they are talking
about when they get of the subject of
bills and babies. That Is why women
who have achieved success in any line
outside of the home almost invariably
lose their husbands to some little
Anticipated girl who sat at their feet
and told them how big and wonderful
they were.
Wives glory in their husbands
achievements. They burst with pride
at seeing them aonored. They bask
in the reflected glory Of being IA
nous mans wife. But husbands al
most always resent their wives sue
cess. The adulation paid their wives
is wormwood and gall to them, and
the deadiest insult you can pay a
man Is to call him Mr.. Mamie Jones
and mention that he is the husband of
the great flyer or the great writer.

to pay a woman In her husbands
presence is to say she Is good cake

Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Worry if Your Husband Dislikes
Talking-There Are Conversations.

DEAR MISS DIX: Will you explain
to men at large, and to my good
husband in particular, that to talk
things over from all angles is not to
argue. He has a natural distaste for
argument. I am Of a temperament
that finds ease of soul and comfort of
position only in confding in and
clearing my mind to my helpmate.
Should I then respect his dislike of
arguing and suppress my natural i'm
pulses to ask his advice. to seek his
opinion and to give his own? Cannot
he appreciate this and be glad of a
wife's entire confidence? Why can't
he realize that this is my safety valve
and makes for my contentment in his
home? Can he not see ethically that
there must be something one-sided
about an issue that will bear no dis
cussion? OUGHT TO KNOW.
Answer-Because men are men and
women are women, it is not possible
for them always to see things from the
same point of view. And one of the
things about which they differ most
is talk.
OF course, there are some men who
are enamoured of the sound of their
own voices and could monologue on
forever and ever, but the great ma
jority of men consider conversation
simply as means of communication
and when they have said what they
had to say they lapse into silence.
Speech is a chore to them rather than
a pleasure. In particular. they see no
profit in threshing over old straw out
of which they cannot winnow single
new idea or suggestion. When sub
ject Is finished to them, it is finished,
and they forget it.
MOT so with women. To them talk
~ just for talks sake is the chief
joy and excitement in life. They never
can get enough of it. They never
weary of it. They can discuss the same
subject until it is threadbare. They
can take as much interest in holding
q postmortem over something that
happened years ago as If it had just
occurred. Talk is their escape valve
in which they blow of their emotions.
It is their compensation for whatever
ills befall them in life. It makes up
to a woman for being an invalid by
being able to talk about her symptoms
and tell all the details of her last
major operation. It even assuages the
sorrow of a woman who has lost some
one near and dear to her to be able
to talk about her grief.
So there you are: The man, who
doesn't like to talk, and the woman,
who must talk or blow up with spon-
taneous combustion. All that I can
suggest is that you and your husband
try to make some sort of CONVEX
sational compromise. Inasmuch as it
makes you happy to tell him every
single thing you have done and
thought during the day, and to spend
hours discussing whether you will have
the library done over in brown or
green or speculating about whether
the milkman is in love with the cook
or not, why, let him lend you his ears.
1t is small sacrifice to make to keep
wife contented, and he should be
thankful that he has one who requires
no more expensive diversion than just
babbling along like brook.
And on your part realize that when
you have one Of these great silent
men. as the movies say, that you have
tc take him even as God made him
aud furnish whatever conversation
