Here's some news of the fash
ionable few, including the first
lady, and their doingS. Most of
the things they do and wear are
too new, too bizarre or extreme
for most of us, but they are worth
recording, for often they start a
trend or a vogue. At any rate,
here they are, and you can decide
for yourself.
Velvet Table Cloth
At a recent famous ball in Lon
don, a very beautiful table, at
which several titled notables were
photographed, was set with
crystal, on a black velvet table
cloth. Imagine that!
Mrs. Harold Talbot, one of the
most beautiful and fashionable
women of the international set,
wears a black ribbon tied choker
fashion about her neck, and a
band of velvet as a bracelet. The
velvet dog collar is decorated with
q large, beautifully jeweled brooch.
Recommended only for slender
neckS.
More Velvet
Lady Mendl has a very lovely
Auuamarine tiara and diamond
and aquamarine necklace. She
also tints her hair a light aqua to
match her jewels. At a recent
onenino in Paris, Mrs. Harrison
Williams wore black velvet and
feathers, and for jewelry, her
exquisite pearl necklace, earrings
and bracelets.
To get down to more local fash
ions, there are some very lovely
clothes in Magnificent ObSeS-
sion" which we're designed by
Vera West. So few of the Holly
wood designers are women, that I
feel like cheering when one OF
them does something as good as
these gowns.
Red Hostess Gown
Most notable among these
gowns we're, to my way OF think
ing, a hostess gown made peasant
style with long full sleeves. They
tell me it was red in the original,
bright red. And that lovely aft
ernoon costume of heavy silk,
threaded in metal, was gray, with
gray fox.
White Waxed satin, which is said
to be more than important in eX-
elusive fashion circles, makes
wonderful evening gown, with an
other of black starched lace, and
a third of yellow chiffon beaded
all over in opalescent sequinS sail
of which gives you pretty good
picture of the coming evening
mode.

In speaking to your husband
directly, call him by his given
name. In referring to ones part
ner in marriage, one now says
MY husband" or My wife" in
speaking to an equal. 1t is not
good form to speak Of your hus-
band as Mr." unless you are
speaking of him to an inferior.
To an intimate friend, one re-
fers to a husband as John or
George, but this does not give
the friend the privilege of calling
him John or George in return.

A noted writer once said to a
beginner, Write as though your
reader were a man hurrying to
catch a train. who is inclined to
believe, as your story unfolds, that
it has no point"
This gifted author had learned
what it is so hard for a beginner
to realize a reader doesn't
want to read. He hates to read.
But he likes to be compelled to
read. He likes to be intrigued,
teased, cajoled, amused, into read
ing. He wants the ideas to flow
right into his consciousness with
out any struggle on his part.
How can you write that way?"

Health
Nobel Prize in
Medicine

by LOOAN CLENDENlNOS vi. Ds
THE Nobel Prize In medicine
this year." observed my old friend,
DR.. Adrian Gibbs, seems to have
aroused good deal Of merriment
in the breasts of the profession.
THE prize is given to Prof.
Hans Speinann, of Freiburg, on
account of his work on the organ
producing effects of certain tis-
sue transplants. When the dis
sected portion of the upper lip
of the primitive orifice Of the
larva of the water newt is trans
planted to another part of the
body of the animal, it has a pc
culiar effect on the cells in its
neighborhood.
They obtain through the action
of the implant, a new quality
which allows them to develop into
the organ which would have
formed at the spot that the i'm
plant was obtained. 1t is not the
cells of the implant itself which
develop in this way, because the
phenomenon occurs even if the
implant is dead. The action
must be chemical, but what the
nature of the chemical is has not
been determined.
MY friends who are in practi-
cal medicine are inclined to gig
gle at this, and it does seem
long jump from the effect the
upper lip of the primitive ori.
flee of the water newt has on
the cells in the neighborhood if
it is transplanted. to the question
of what to do for a baby with
the Group.
But 1 don't know. You never
can tell what use a fact is going
to be in practical medicine. Do
you remember what Ben Franklin
said about the time everyone was
excited about the early balloons?
Someone sneered, What good is
it?' and Franklin answered, What
good is baby?'
Il imagine Galvani would have
received the Nobel Prize if there
had been one in 1891, for his dis
covery that a discharge of elec-
tricity applied to the nerve of a
frogs leg would throw the muscles
into contraction. Here is the pas
sage translated in this little medi-
cal magazine:
"I had dissected a frog and
had placed it upon a table
on which there was an electric
machine, while I set about doing
certain other things. The frog
was entirely separated from the
conductor of the machine, and in.
deed, was at no small distance
away from it. While one of those
who were assisting me touched,
lightly and by chance, the point
of his scalpel to the internal
crural nerves of the frog, sudden
ly all the muscles of its limbs
were seen to be so contracted
that they seemed to have fallen
into tonic convulSionS.'
1T couldn't have seemed that
there was any practical applica-
ton to be made of the fact that.
frogs nerve carried a charge
Of electricity, but as result, the
whole world is covered with wires,
and messages are delivered and
conversations held between par
ties a thousand miles distant.
There are very few useless
scientific facts. The nearest ap-
proach 1 know is the cremasteric
reflex--it is absolutely useless,
but perfectly beautiful"

To prepare it, buy a pound of
tripe and wash carefully in three
waters. Then put it in cold water
to which has been added a tea
spoon of salt and a teaspoon of
vinegar and let it cook for sew
eral hours until tender.
The Creole will cook it the day
before it is to be used, then put

To cook it a la Creole, cut the

Good Bleach
Lotion
BY DONNA GRACE

Some of our beauty products
seem to originate in the fruit and
vegetable family. Fruits an
flowers are frequently blended in
creams, lotions and perfumes, and
some of the favorite vegetable
products come from the cucumber.
We find it is even used with other
ingredients for a certain refresh
ing scent.
When this lowly vegetable is ell
evated to such high places, we
may as well further dignity it
with the Latin name 'Cucumis
SativuS'-SoundS important.
The cucumber was used in our
grandmothers' days for what they
called a skin wash. They found
the juices and pulp, when liquified
and strained. had a slight bleach
ing effect and served as a refin-
ing agent to the skin.
Cosmetic manufacturers have a
more scientific method of COM
pounding the vegetable in t o
creams and soothing lotions, and
some of these products are de-
lightful.
You can make a good bleach
lotion in simple way at home,
if YOU wish. The following is one
that has been something Of .
favorite:
Scrub one large, or two small
cucumbers; then slice them with
out pairing, as the outer skin Is
necessary in the mixture. Place
them in smooth granite or
porcelain pan and cover with hot
water. Then put over q low fire
to simmer for an hour.
When they are liquefied. strain
through a colander, and then
through a muslin cloth and set
to cool. Measure out a half-plnt
and add to it / ounce of grain
alcohol mot rubbing) two tea
spoonfulS of glycerine, S drops
of oil of lemon, 5 drops of oil
of lavender.
Then it is nice to make it a
cool-looking. jade color, and this
may be done by adding a few
drops of green vegetable coloring.
Shake the mixture we'll and
use as a skin Freshmen after re-
moving makeup.

Unless butter is served on bread
