Perennial
Charm and
LOvlineSs
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THAT wholesome feminine pride in
hidden beauty is justifiable and
commendable. I remember a beauti-
full young thing at a Winter resort
last year. The thought hidden
beauty" came to me when saw her
on skis, wrapped head to ankle, with
only her eyes and the tip Of her nose
showing.
Later that same young thing IN
doors-at a formal" function. Her
firm, young throat no longer hidden in
turtle sweaters and scarves; her arms
out of hiding; her soft, white hands
with jewel-like nail tips; her fawless.
beautifully poised back showing in her
deep decollete; even her slim ankles
and pedicured toes there for the world
to see.
There she was, her beauty revealed
for the world to see and worth seeing.
But in her ski outfit all the beauty
hidden. Yet it must have been
source of real satisfaction to her know
ing that she could step from her
wrappings into evening paraphernalia
without qualm. 1t must have been
a Joy to know that she could turn
beautiful picture to the world as
quickly and as easily as one turns on
the light by pressing button.
There's another viewpoint, 50 far
as hidden beauty is concerned. Fash
ion is q fickle lady. And ever SO
mischievous. Who knows what her
purpose is in issuing an edict: High
necklines; puffed shoulders, slim
wrists, short skirts or long. Perhaps
it's a test to see If you keep up the
neck exercises even though the throat
Is hidden in a high neckline; to see
If you avoid shoulder pads even
though 1t would be easy enough for
them to nestle unnoticed under vol
luminous shirrings; to keep up the
leg work even under long skirts.
Perhaps that's the very reason
why she does not give us due warn
ings. She sort of sneaks up on US
with her new styles, trying to catch
us unawares. Modern women are ever
on the alert to these pranks Of fashion.
That's why one sees so much beauty,
and, seen or unseen, knows it's there.
There are, however, certain hints Of
loveliness that one should not toler-
ate hidden" Hidden high lights in
the hair, for instance. Call them
forth. Hidden light In the eyes. These
should always be in evidence. Latent
loveliness, develop every bit Of it!

as set forth by the instructor in charge
of this particular branch of the higher
education, Is Ito teach the student to

and, above all, to recognize the comic

it's Rather Than
Chronic Dosage.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A'A perts. We insist that the men
and women who make it their pro-
fession undergo a long and severe
training to insure their understand
ing of their grave mission. We take
their prescriptions, strong in the faith
that because these experts have stud
led long and well and practiced wisely
and humanely they can be trusted
with our lives. Medicine holds healing
and grief in its pills and powders.
If used wisely and as ordered, the
healing Is probable, but If used un-
wisely grief is certain.
There are people who calmly,
blithely, buy and administer medi-
cine to children. The druggist said
it was good, or the advertisements
said so. So the children are dosed
thoroughly and habitually. The medi-
cine may be perfectly all right If
used discreetly, but how do you know?
Medicine is not your field. 1t is the
physicians profession, and he seems
to find it about as much as he can
manage working with might and
mind. How can you be sure that
the child needs this treatment, or
will benefit in the least by it?
Giving a child a physic Is just an
ordinary gesture. an item in the daily
routine, in some households. 1t Is
about the worst practice regarded
in the light of the child's health and
his mental hygiene, that can be es-
tablished. The right diet ought to
keep the child's intestinal processes
in good working order. If there is
any difficulty ask the doctor before
administering medicine II he ap-
proves it you are safe and saved
from making a sad mistake.
When a child complains Of a belly
ache-a grinding pain below his belt,
don't give him a physic unless the
doctor orders it. 1t may not be
an ordinary ache at all. but the symp-
toms of serious trouble, and a physic
might do very grave harm. 1t is
dangerous to administer medicine to
child who is coming down with ap-
pendicitH. A grinding pain in the
abdomen Is one of the symptoms of
appendicitis, but 1t Is not the only
one, so don't jump at 1t and take
| home measures to remedy 1t. Call
the doctor.
Healthy children seldom require
medicine, or the attendance Of the
physician. They can be kept healthy
by the right diet, as usual thing.
Plenty Of vegetables, cooked fruit,
milk, eggs and cheese and butter,
in variety of color and flavor and
form, will keep a child in good con-
dition. Meat should be used spar
ingly, and also sweets. Medicine not
at all, until the doctor says so.
Winter will soon be here and the
medicine bottles are coming out.
Winter is supposed to be hard on
the health of children. 1t isn't, pro-
vided the children follow a reason
able health routine of sleep, fresh air,
exercise, simple food and warm cloth
ing. Health is not a matter of sea-
sons. It is largely matter Of habit
and the good care that sets good
habits. Medicine ought to be as
rarely used as the fire alarm and Just
as cautiously.

Trimmings in Again.

New resort fashions for evening, de-
signed by Tape, stress unusual trim
mings. A white net gown has a
trimming of white dove feathers, a
pale blue tulle is combined with Sc
quins, and another tulle, pale yellow
is printed with buttercups.
Glittering gold-color paillettes are
combined with Roman striped cotton
fabric in some Of the new resort hats
shown with simple white linen dresses
by smart millinery house.
MY idea is to wear simple clothes
maybe just a shirtwaist and skirt
and brighten them up with smart ac-
cessories. Then you can 60 any
where" the designer said.
Roman striped sashes and big tri-
angular handbags in the same stripes
went with some of the hats. Others
we're shown with fringed kid gloves
and bags in bright colors or white.

centered about frog soup-a favorite
delicacy of the region. The frogs were
duly cleaned and skinned and made
ready for the soup pot. The lady,
anxious to see for herself that they
were in prime condition, happened to
touch the leg of one of them with q
knife that had, in some way, become
impregnated with magnetic power
from neighboring electrical machine.
To her surprise-and, suspect, to her
complete horror-the leg of the frog,
on contact, began to move violently as
If it were still alive. When the contact
was removed, animation ceased. The
lady, probably in frenzy, informed
her husband of the mysterious occur
renee. This led him to make num-
ber Of scientific experiments, that
finally contrived to wiring from nature
the secret of that strange phenomenon
which we call "galvanism."
Granted that the frog was only
passive factor in the discovery, it is
still interesting to realize that unless
the lady had been fond of frog soup
the world Of science would very likely
have had to wait a while longer to
learn of this particular accomplish
ment.
"A MONG the ancients frog broth"
was considered a sovereign rem.
edy against poisons and the stings
Of insects. In these cases it was
used externally, being mixed with
salt and oil and poured over the
wounds.
Nowadays, in this country, frogs
are bred just for table use. They
are special kind, with large, fat
legs, and, when properly prepared,
really make dish fit for any King.
Washington fish markets keep a good
supply of them, even in the Winter,
when they are much in demand for
a dinner party piece de resistance.
They may be had either fresh or in
cans and are not very expensive either
way.
From an old French cook book
comes this recipe, which has always
proved successful in my household:
FROG LEGS PARISIENNE.
Skin the hind legs Of the frogs and
soak in cold water for two hours.
Drain and wipe dry with towels. Sim
mer over a slow fire two tablespoons
of butter and two or three slices of

Rub an iron skillet well with garlic

of butter, with two cloves of garlic.

bread crumbs, then the frog legs.
Blend well, add little lemon juice
and one-half cup minced parsley.
Serve very hot, garnished with toast

Attendants
AndCards
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: My only rel
atives are my aunt and my broth
er, and under the circumstances I am
not going to have very large we'd
ding and will not send any invitations.
But I would like to send announce
ments to our friends everywhere. In
whose name should these announce
ments be senta.
Answer-Either would be proper
circumstances. II your aunt has
brought you up and your brother is
younger than you, then the invitations
would certainly 60 out in her name.
But if you and your brother have
always lived together and if he Is
older than you, the invitations would
probably go out in his name. This,
however, can't be answered definitely
since the question of how both feel
about the matter must be taken into
consideration.
nEAR MRS. POST: have an only
sister who is to be my maid Of
honor. This sister has lovely voice
and would like very much to have
her sing at the wedding if you think
this could be arranged so as not to
interfere with the wedding procession.
Will you tell me how you think it
could best be done?
Answer-It would be unusual but
not unheard of should your sister
sing during the pause in the ceremony
between the betrothal and the plight
ing Of the troth. In other words, she
could stand at the side Of the chancel
steps and sing while you and your
betrothed walk slowly up the steps
and take your places in front Of the
altar. Having finished her song,
which of course must be very short,
she then follows and stands on your
left. If 1t could be arranged so that
she would be hidden from view, she
could sing while the congregation is
assembling, but it would not do to
have her enter the church and then
60 out again to meet you and come
down in the professional.
DEAR MRS. POST: What Is meant
by Gin front of the ribbons" and
within the ribbons" and who Is seated
In each place?
Answer-Both mean the same thing,
having place within the .inclosure
marked by the ribbons. The pews in
front Of the ribbons are always seated
according to nearness Of relationship,
and cards bearing the actual pew
numbers are sent by the mother Of the
bridegroom to each Of those relatives
and q few dearest friends who are to be
seated on the bridegroom's side of the
church. and by the mother Of the
bride to each Of those who are to be
seated on the brides side Of the
church.

chuckle over your pet stories instead
Of wearing a panied look, as of one
who wonders what it is all about, is
to catch q glimpse Of the millennium.
FURTHERMORE, consider from
= what innumerable follies the stu
dents in the school of humor will be
saved! They will never take them
selves too seriously. They will never
make tragedies out Of misadventures.
They will never be pompous asses.
They will never be tedious bores. They
will never make themselves ridiculous
by being cut-ups and think themselves
the life Of the party when they are
really killing it. Some one has said
that we miss the best joke in the world
because we can't see ourselves as we
really are. They'll get that one and
it will hand them q laugh that will
save them.
But the School of Humor will do It's
great and perfect work in preparing
young people for marriage. 1t is the
first real, genuine, bona fide, blown-in-
the-bottle remedy that has ever been
offered for the cure of the divorce
evil. Because there are so many
things in marriage that you have
either got to laugh of or see lawyer
about, and it is only those who can
see the funny side Of it who can
stand it.
Take what we call the disillusion
Of marriage, for instance. The in
evitable hour in which the man dis
covers that the beauteous and glamor-
GUS creature he has married and whom
he never suspected Of having a single
fault concealed about her angelic per-
son takes of her complexion at night
and puts up her hair in pins and has a
temper that makes him say yes. ma'am,
to her. And when the bride finds out
that the hero Of her girlish dreams has
as many fussy little ways as any old
maid and gets into a tantrum If she
leaves the top of the toothpaste tube
and says things when his collar button
rolls under the bureau that no man
should say before lady.
WELL, then' when this critical hour
w arrives nothing but a sense of
humor can save the situation. Hus-
bands and wives can start q domestic
feud that will last to their dying day.
or they can look at each other and
say "the joke Is on me-" and make the
best Of each other and live happy ever
afterward.
Think what q prize in the matri-
monial lottery would be a husband who
would regard the housekeeping bills
with a humorous eye and who would
jest over the biscuits when they were
tough and the coffee when it was weak
and who would be tickled pink at
hearing that mama was coming for .
nice long visit!
And wouldn't any man think that
he had got q wife whose price was
above rubies If only she would laugh
OF his little faults and weaknesses in
stead Of making tragedies Of them, and
turn the time he got lit when he went
to . stag party or guessed wrong on
. stock deal into funny story instead
Of . standing grievance and . matter
for tears?
A hearty laugh would end any quar-
rel and settle any domestic dispute.
Let's hope the School Of Humor will
teach its pupils how to get the humor-
Gus slant on marriage. Heaven knows
It Is the funniest comedy in the world.
