Paris Styles

 Paris CUP)-The late Victorian trend in England is recalled by the latest creations in the millinery field. Frills full, sleeves, bustles and tube skirts have all been recalled in the dress salons, and the hat styles have kept pace.
 For afternoon there are soft draperies accompanied by dressy flower and feather toques. These toques. These little hats are small and close-fitting and are trimmed with small nosegays of flowers or with wing plumes which curl down over the ear.
 Veils and nets have reached the peak of their popularity for in-be- tWeen-season hats. Veils are fre- quently found in contrasting shades or in colorS matching the hat itself. One of the favorite combinations is in white straw, in a shallow-croWn and small-rimmed sailor, or in a small flower or feather toque which is trimmed with loose mesh black veil.
 Contrast is found everywhere. Large-brimmed picture straws are trimmed with multi-colored field flowers or with vari-colored taffeta ribbons. Some houses go so far as to trim afternoon straws with ribbons

with impervious clothing and con- fining himself most of the time in holes from which sunshine and skye shine are almost entirely excluded, and throwing out constant smoke screens from factories and homes to intercept what little ultraviolet gets throug the fog, cloud and dust overhanging industrial towns and cities.
 All of this is probably academic and will not interest Iaymen much. fear it is still quite true that even intelligent folk who feel pretty well at the moment are not cor1s cerned about hygiene or sanitation. They have to get sick or at least out of sorts before they will even dip into column like this. And that's too bad, because the conduc- tor is notoriously unsympathetic toward invalids.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Should pasteurized milk be boiled before giving it to the baby? have been boiling it 20 minutes, as boiling is supposed to break up the curds and render it more digestible, but does pasteurization in itself do this? (Mrs. s. O.
 AnsWer-Pasteuriza means the process of heating the milk to 145 or 150 degrees (par-boiling) for 20 or 30 minutes, then allowing it to cool. This degree and duration of heating destroys disease germs in the milk. I should not advise boil- ing milk with a purpose of making it more digeStible; on the contrary, raw milk is probably more readily digeSted than cooked. Be sure the baby fed pasteurized or boiled milk receives daily ration of vitamin c to prevent Scurvy - in the form of tomato juice (fresh or factory canned or orange juice.
 IOdin
 Just how much iodin and in what form do you advise for suitable 'iodin ration? G. L.)

 Answer-I advise you to leave to the physician the interpretation of temperature records.
 Tuberculosis Test
 Please tell me what the Von Pier Qua test is (Mrs. V. B.
 Answer-The von Pirquet test is a test for tuberculosis, made by applying tuberculin to a scratch on the skin. Positive reaction to the test indicates presence of focus of tuberculosis in body somewhere. though the focus may be latent that is, there may be no present symptoms or disturbance of health.

 New York.-Even if you have put off getting the Easter bonnet until the last minute, you can hardly go wrong. This year modistes show every imaginable type of hat from demure little toques of stiff straw to enormous cartwheels with huge clusters of flowers.
 There are sailors, neatly and nau- tically trimmed with ribbon bows, mannish Hombergs with precise creases, turbans of all types, the cartwheels and the toques and berets-yes, berets-square as well as round and three-cornered.
 In Paris, practically every hat in any smart restaurant is decorated with 8 bunch of cloth blossoms placed squarely across the front as a miner wears his light. Wells are widely used. Many hats are trimmed with diminutive birds that perch against one or both sides of the crown as if poised for flight. Others are finished with more luxurious, trailing feathers.
 For instance, the dashing model of soft brown straw, shown here at the right, top to-day, features burnt pheasant feathers in soft, dull green. This would go nicely with afternoon and dinner suits. Inci- dentally, every wardrobe needs at least one ankle-length suit for din- ner and the theater. Save your lcw-cut, formal gowns for important dinner dances and halls.
 For your tailored suit, a sailor is about the best bet. The one at the left in straw taffeta, new fabric that really is taffeta stitched with

The Truth About Diet
Fish, Primary Food Of Many Nations : Almost As Rich As Meat In Protein
ToDAY's HEALTH QUESTION

Q.-Is there a cure for ca tarrh and is it possible to re- gain hearing which was lost due to catarrh?
 A.-The word "catarrh" has been scrapped by the medical profession. It indicates an in- lection or an inflammation. There are few infections which cannot be brought under con- trol by modern medical care.
 When hearing is lost, there has been damage to the tis- sues involved in hearing. The extent to which it can be re- gained depends on the extent of permanent damage. This must be determined by a com- petent doctor after a careful examination.

PARENTS

The day that Mary Louise's aunt Ethel brought her 8 pink dress Mary Louise was so pleased she could hardly wait to tell Betty and Ruth and Katharine about it. They had had pink dresses for a long time. She had nice dresses, too, of course, but they were blue and brown and red. Not pink! Mary Louise tried to think of some nicer words than usual, to explain how pretty her new dress was, but she couldn't find any.
 But you'll see it soon!" she prom ised hopefully.
 They didn't, though. Mary LouiSe's mother hung the dress away carefully and only let her small daughter wear 1t to Sunday school on Sunday morning, and when important grown folks came to dinner.
 What would you like to wear to school today?" she asked Mary Louise one day.
 My pink dress" came the hope full answer.
 But that's a dress-up dress! What about the blue plaid?"
 An Opportunity Lost
 Then the school had special program. Surely now, she could wear the pink frock! But her moth CT decided that white would be much nicer. Betty and Ruth and Katharine wouldn't have seen the dress at all, if Mary Louise hadn't brought them into the house one night after school, taken them up to her bedroom, and spread the the unidentified frock on the bed.
 Her mother, passing through the hall, heard the chorus of: "Oh, it's beautiful!" Its prettier'n any pinl, dress ever saw!" Try it on, Mary Louise!"
 She went down to the living room and did some pretty straight think ing. After all, Mary Louise took no special pride in being dressed up for her mothers friends. It was her own group before whom she WALlOCo bO dDlJCdI IlCl IlCW Surely the child's attitude deserved to be taken into consideration and she was entitled to little of the pleasure of her own dress.
 Vanity Guides Mothers
 Children are not judges of the durability or suitability of cloth ing, that we know. Mothers must be patient, wise, and guiding. How ever, small girls and boys should be permitted to enjoy the clothes they wear. A pink gingham is just as practical as blue gingham for school. if pink is the child's favor ite color. 4 red stocking cap will do quite as well as blue one, if a small boy wants a merry touch. Party clothes should be worn some times in a childs own group. not always for the family company.
 Too often mothers dress their children in such a way that they will reflect pleasantly upon the mother in the presence of her own guests. The child, as a personality who may despise rufflcs or sandals or bare snees. is not considered.
 Mary Louise would have appeared very foolish, learning reading and writing and arithmetic in a pink

WOMAN,S REALM
GIOriHing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

"What do you notice first about a woman?" the inquiring reporter asked twelve men. Four of them answered "her hands,"
 Which, if it does not prove that these are woman's most impor- tant feature, at least emphasizes the fact that men do notice when March winds have had their way with hands as well as faces.
 The hands certainly have a good many problems to face in the course of a year. First, there are fewer oil glands on the backs of the hands than on the rest of the skin, and the palms have no oil glands at all and more sweat glands than almost anywhere else. Then there is the fact that we are always washing, sometimes with harsh soap and water that is none too soft. Usually we forget to dry thoroughly, and that's the worst of all.
 You ned a manicure once week, and if your cuticle is very dry and stubborn you ought to have an oil soak. Wrap each ffn- ger in cotton and let them lie in warm oil for as long as possible. If the nails are brittle, use hon. liquid polish for a while and buff the nails to high glow.
 By the way, the smarteSt women now use natural polish for daytime wear and brighter colors for even- ing. It means changing your pol ish twice on days when you are go- ing out, but it is worth it.
 Constantly forcing dry cuticle back is responsible for many ragged edges and even hang nails. Better push it back only just after washing the hands, or after rub ping with oil, and then do it gently.
 Did you know that tight gloves make red hands? And that quart of milk day, because of the calcium, will sometimes make your nails less brittle?

Fish flesh is digestible according to the amount of fat that it con- tains. This varies greatly in differ ent species.
 Salmon, which is rather rich ill fat, is not digested as easily as oysters, trout, bass, and bluefish. Mackerel, pompano and Shad come between salmon and codfish in their content of fat.
 Herring is so widely eaten by all races, types, and classes of people that it is perhaps the most impor- .tant of all fish in the diet. The herring family includes not only the true herring, but also such fish as whitehall, sprats and sardines. Herring contains a good protein with a relatively high amount of phosphorous.
 There are some strange supersti- tions about fish. One is the idea that fish is a brain food. I have pointed out repeatedly that this superstition depends on the high content of phosphorus in the flesh of the fish.
