Style Chats

Paris. (UP)-The new lowered prints for spring and summer wear have changed from all-over pat- terms to flower pieces formally grouped. In almost all the lowered cottons and silks, the pattern is clearly designed in five or six dif- ferent colors or in several shades of the same color. An exception are the pastel prints, chiefly in taffetas and soft silks, which resemble a water color wash with all the colors faintly blending into one another.
 All sorts of amusing objects are drawn in color, or printed in white, on dark backgrounds. There is one new print which shows small bal- looms and parachutes in bright col- ors on navy blue or black. Another shows tiny red bicycles travelling over a black background, while an- other shows minute poker hands in red and black on white. On top of this there are clock dials, numbers, bars of music, Chinese pagodas, rickshaws, butterflies and flowers, postage stamps, white mice, small pigs and letters of the alphatbet scattered over colored or white background.

Dear M.:-

Dear M.:-
 Your impersonal attitude makes 1t easier for me to answer, as there is no possibility of wounding your feelings. Now I will be brutally frank about this situation. Consid- ering the free hand with which so many young men, handle their heart interests, one can't blame a girl too much for leading him along in Q love which she cannot return in the same degree. Then too, perhaps she is not sure whether she loves him or not. Sometimes the very ardor dis- played on one hand, aims the re- action of the other party. When your hearts on fire, smoke gets in your eyes": 50 runs the song. And by the same token, the eyes and senses of the beloved one, are some times confused by the same intense haze. To my mind 1t is cruel and unfair to lead a lover along hope less affair. But the heart of a girl is so fickle, that often she is not sure whether she loves truly or not. There should be no pretense on her part, however. She should not let him believe that she cares more deeply than she does. But to keep up her affair with her lover, will give her the opportunity to know her heart, and who knows, later on she may realize that he and she were meant for each other after alL

list I was subsequently, offered a place as physician in state prison. That didn't appeal to me, but on ad- vice of politicians I visited the prison to look it over before turning down the offer. A new warden had just moved in, following 8 turnover of state government. The warden informed me he didn't know 8 blankety- -blanked thing and didn't care about the prison or the prison- CTS or anything else-he was there purely for the sake of patronage. He also informed me they had trumped up false charges against the doctor who had served faithfully for 18 years and forced him to resign. A trusty Ca murderer) was serving as physician pending the arrival of a new one. An inspiring state of affairs. Well, I was rather glad to return to the drearly life of plod- ding door-to-door practitioner.
 The assistant superintendent of a state hospital for the insane de- scribes the political shenanegin which brought about his resignation and the appointment of a young doctor who had been out of medical school less than three years to fill his place. Even the state law re- quires that a physician must have had at least five years of experience in a state hospital to be eligible for such a position. But when politi- clans get control of things the laws are always flexible. One day "big shot" from the great city came out to the state hospital and instructed the chief of 8 department to "get something" on his assistant so they could make a place there for a young doctor the "big shot" wished to take care of. The chief consid- cred his assistant 8 thoroughly good man and hated to knife him in the back, but the superintendent of the hospital advised him he had better do as told But before the matter had gone any further the "big shot" himself was caught at some game and busted from his seat for selling jobs-graft.
 Why do we follow this filthy sys- tenn of managing our prisons and other correctional institutions, our state hospitals and our public schools through the agency of poli- tical favoritsm and patronage and graft?

 Entertaining some weekend guests, who had not visited Mir. and Mrs. B. for some years, the hostess was surprised to hear the young house-guest remark: Gosh, Mary, you and Jack get along famously, don't you; though when you both married, for one, never believed that two such opposite personalities could make go of 1t. How did you manage it"? Mary smiled and said: "Oh, I think it's because we believe in mental freedom. While Jack and I agree on the fundamental princi- ples of our standard of living; we go our separate ways intellectually. By that I mean, that we respect each others widely divergent aims and ambitions in life"
 The couple in question were miles apart in Background, in personal ity, and in their respective profess Stons. He was a successful craftS- man and came from the work-a-day world; she came from a purely pro- fessional and artistic background. Not in a single point, were they drawn together, except that mag netic attraction which direct oppo- sites hold for each other. Yet after twelve years of married life, their home surroundings, their two beau- tiful children and their attitude to- ward each other, all bore evidence of the serenity and the mutual bond [of love and respect which pervaded this household.
 Yet this union would have landed on the proverbial rocks, had 1t not been for the good sense and tact, rec sulting from hard fought battles with her own nature, on the part of the little wife, during those twelve years.
 Mary realized after a few months of married life that her husband was very selfish and stubborn, in his own quiet and dignified way. Be- sides, it developed that he was alto- gether a mans man; by which we mean that he enjoyed the society and pastimes of the masculine gen. der; and the fair sex meant little in his life, except for a few hours a day that he was home with his wife. Parties and dancing were bore to him, and 1t irked him that his pleasure-loving wife, even longed to participate in these amusements. Another tantalizing trait, which contributed to the misery of this temperamental wife, was his utter indifference to time, as an impor- tant factor, in keeping engagements at home or with friends.
 As may be imagined these pe- culiarities caused many frictions in the household of the newly-weds. But after a time she realized the futility of arguing with a head

strong husband. Though she was accustomed to an active life with plenty of interesting travel; she finally resigned herself to making over her outward personality. When she longed to travel, she contented herself with e motor trip. Instead of the parties and adulation of ad- miring friends, which were former ly as necessary to her happiness, as sunlight is to the growing plant, she resigned herself to reading. But all this time, she found herself sinking into Q state of self pity, which eventually would break down her volatile and gay disposition. So, in the mental loneliness, which bore down upon her, she took inventory with her store of talent, and dis. covered that her great love of fiow- CTS, expressed itself in painting them. Here at last was escape. Not that she neglected her duties as 8 loving wife, and home-maker. Mary realized that these duties were the only real bond between her husband and his life with her. So she com bined her interest in painting {. with her duties as wife and mother.
 This is one striking example of the theory that when the routine of the household or the thoughtlessness of @ husband makes life ,lnonoton- ous, the tactful little wife had bet- ter take stock of her latent talents, instead of complaining. There is nothing like a hobby or some out- side interest to cure 8 severe case or mental loneliness and self-pity.

the bowel and that the loss in di- gestion is greater for coarse prod- ucts than for fine products. The body probably absorbs from one pound of genuine whole wheat bread twice as much iron, phos- phorus, and calcium compounds as it might from a pound of white bread.
 The whole grain products also provide more vitamin A and B than do the fine flour products. Prac- tically all grain products are free from vitamin c, except when they contain fresh germ.
 Usually it is more practical to make certain of vltamin c by using other products.

WOMAN,S REALM -

NEGLECTED TEETH MAR
 BEAUTY

BEAUTY
 Correct brushing and proper care of the teeth are beauty as well as health routines, of course. Whether your teeth are as even as pearls or naturally crooked, keep them glisten- ingly white.
 See your dentist frequently and, twice a year, have him clean your teeth. No matter how carefully you brush them yourself, they need pro- fesional cleansings every six months.
 Pick a toothbrush in Q size corn- fortable for your mouth (everyone ought to have at least two) and keep 1t on a hook or special holder. Plac- ing 1t on a shelf or in a closed box will make the bristles Soggy and quite useless. Never put tooth- brushes in hot water. Occasionally it's a good idea to sprinkle the wet bristles with salt, letting them dry before you rinse away the salt.
 Choose your dentrifice for its efficacy--not because you happen to like the taste. Remember that plain baking soda is one of the good tartar removing agents. Why not SCOUT your teeth with 1t about once a week? In addition, use 8 mouth wash or 8 solution of hot water and salt at least once a day. This cleanses places in your mouth which never especially in cold weather, guards are reached with a toothbrush and, against sore throat.
 If your teeth tend to protrude or are rather conspicuous when you talk or laugh, use lipstick sparingly. Instead of drawing even more at- tention to your mouth, figure out ways to play up your eyes, or your hair, or whatever your best feature happens to be.

For the simple reasons of econ- Nmy and comparative food value, khe average diet should be built oround bread and milk.
 already have mentioned the im- portance of milk in the diet. AS eor bread, scientific studies indicate that grain products represent only AZ per cent of the cost of food, but furnish 40 per cent of energy value, e5 par cent of protein value, and IS per cent of phosphorus value.
 When I speak of grain products,
 include not only bread, but all cereals and substances made of pour, bran, cornmeal, and oatmeal. Their low cost is the reason why most people use these grains when ehey must limit the amount of lnoney they have to spend for food.
 Breads vary in composition and pigestibility. When bread is made with white flour, yeast, salt, malt extract, sugar, shortening and wa ter, 1t does not have the same food value as bread made with these Constituents and with milk added.
 When fruit, raisins, or nuts are added. the food value of the bread sg still further modified.
 In digestibility, the coarser breads stimulate action of the intestines. Hhis stimulation is considered to be due largely to mechanical irritation. Scientific studies seem to prove that khe laxative value of bran is due primarily to the amount of fiber Shat 1t contains.
 The mineral elements of various grains are largely concentrated in khe germ of the grain and in the outer layers. Thus, whole wheat contains three to i've times as much iron. phosphorus, and calcium as eoes the fine -four made from whole wheat.

 street. Most of the other houses were new, or new as compared to the two old frame buildings with high steps and porches that sat fifty feet back from the sidewalk.
 Just now old Mrs. Miller-Sarah was slipping over the back way to see her friend and neighbor, Polly Stewart.
 Polly, are you there2" she called, opening the unlocked door six inches.
 Polly wasn't, it appeared, but Mrs. Miller went in and crossed the kitchen to the hall. A little figure in a quilted gown spoke over the bannister. Come on up, Sarah; what's wrong? I was asleep. Don't talk too loud, Joseph's asleep, too. Wait, I'll come down."
 Sarah was standing at the par Tor window with an expression of one who hears the crack of doom.
 What is it?" whispered Polly.
 "What is 1t? Are you deaf? Listen. Look"
 Upset by Children's Noise
 Polly peeped over her friends shoulder and said, TT don't see anything"
 Sarah dropped the curtain and turned around. Those children use our walk and steps as though they were public playgrounds. They're spinning tops an dnicking our flag stones. They're skating from the steps to the sidewalk because there is slant. Girls playing jacks on the terrace, too. Boys on the street playing ball. More girls"
 Polly said, T guess they're on our walk and our steps, too. I hadn't noticed"
 T can't think what you're made of, Polly. I'm that nervous I could scream. I've a notion to call up the police. Henry said yesterday we'd have to-"
 Just then Joseph came into the room.
 T don't wonder you can't sleep said Sarah bitterly. Those chil- dren."
 Tt wasn't that. I just sthought I heard Polly talking to someone, Why, what's wrong?"
 When They were Young
 Sarah told what was wrong.
 Joseph pondered. "When Henry and were kids," he observed slow ly, I've were perfect Indians. He lived there and we lived here same as now. I bet we made a heck of a lot of noise, all of us kids did. There were old folks then, Sally. They were kind of nice to us, too"
 They don't bother us much, Polly took it up here. guess they've got to yell and skate and spin tops I'd miss it if they didn't. And look here, Sarah--your James and my Richard used to make an unholy racket. We never minded 1t, when they brought their crowds home from school. And anyway, those youngsters don't, think about us."
 Only partly comforted, Sarah went home, poor soul. Actually the chil- dren were making an ordinary noise (and the tops were leaving marks not nicks) but she went out and spoke to them. It made her still more nervous.
 think it would be thoughtful oi parents to remind children that peace means much to the old. Lei them congregate some place else Polly and Joseph had steadiel nerves, but poor Sarah and hel Henry were utterly miserable-anc couldn't help 1t. No, they couldn't help 1t.
