Focused
On Limbs
Beauty Requirements
for This Seasons
Shorter Skirts.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

T CERTAINLY hope that skirts will
never go back to kneecap heights.
Because I can't see where the ex-
tremely short skirt adds one bit to
womanly grace What's more, the
shorter the skirt, the harder it becomes
for the average figure to wear 1t.
think that skirts covering the calf
or at least the mid-mark are lovely
length. But, Paris is pretty definite
about the fact that skirts are shorter.
So more demands are being made
on beauty. Let's see what the shorter
skirt does and we'll know Just what
its beauty requisites are.
First-it focuses attention on calves
and ankles So If your legs aren't
pretty enough for you to be proud OF
showing them of, you had better
start Immediately to exercise them
and get them trim eyeful. Other
wise, you'll be too self-conscious in your
short skirts
Second-if you are a bit on the
plump side, beware the short skirt
even if it is basking in Fashions
favor this season. Have the will to
be an individual at the risk OF being
called prude. Unless you want to
look squatter than you are.
If you are extremely tall, you may
imagine that the short skirt was made
especially for you. But that's mis-
take. For extremely short skirts
make the very tall individual look
ludicrous and have quite the same
effect as very low heels (Which the
very tall woman should never adopt.
Both seem like obvious contrivances
to make one look shorter. They seem
to be an admission that one is ashamed
Of her height-and that according to
modern beauty standards, is not justi-
fed.
This season shoes are joining skirts
in making beauty demands. BY
focusing attention on the legs, the
short skirt automatically draws the
eye toward the shoes. And shoes are
more elaborate than they've been in
years combinations OF leather
and cloth. high colors, intricate treat
ment. All this means that the feet
are coming in for the lions share OF
attention. If you toe out, or If you
are "pigeon-to people will notice
these idiosyncrasies now more than
ever. If your shoes run down readily
at the heel be sure to keep them in
repair. If you are adopting one OF
the high throated elaborates or the
cut-out heel and toe touch or similar
new wrinkles in shoes, look to your
posture and your walk. Yes, skirts
and shoes are making us that much
more conscious Of our beauty!

last years Spring frock, there are
numerous ways to work it over and
give it a fetching new character.
One delectable way is to combine
it with shrimp and name it
SPRING RAREBIT.
Melt generous lump of butter in
a frying pan and saute one finely
chopped, medium-sized onion until
clear but not brown. Add shrimps.
cover the pan, and cook very slowly
until they are hot. Avoid 'frying"
them. Remove pan from fire and add
one minced cucumber pickle and
one diced canned pimento. Keep
pan covered.
Melt little butter in top pan Of
double boiler and stir in one-half
pound diced cheese and one cup
cream or top milk. Season with
one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-fourth
teaspoon dry mustard, one teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce. Stir con-
stantly until cheese is melted and
sauce thickens Remove from fire
and beat in one well-beaten egg.
Arrange shrimp mixture on toast
triangleS, cover with the sauce and
serve Immediately. Sprinkle little
fresh chopped pickle and pimento on
top for color. Garnish plates with
parsley and pickle fans. The recipe
serves four.

menced to recede. This was said to
have been done on the first day of the
month among the Hebrews which cor
responds with the first day of Arpil in
our calendar The rather vague as
sumption was that, to commemorate
this mistake on the same day every
year, those who had been in danger of
forgetting the lesson taught by the
flood, must be punished by being sent
on some fruitless errand such as that
of the dove had proven. This seems
pretty far fetched to me, but lots OF
other guesses along these lines are
just as incredible!
1t does seem to be generally con-
ceded, however, that the observance of

60 EXCEEDINGLY Welsh and
- hearty is this rarebit that 1t is
suitable for dinner regardless Of what
the arbiters Of cookery would have
to say about it. They would offer it as
a chafng dish supper suggestion,
which is really fine thought. But
without the chafing dish or the neces-
sity for serving supper, keep it in
mind for dinner some fine Spring eve

Answer-There are two schools Of
thought on this subject. One con-
tends that it is better to pick your
mate with your head than with your
heart; that in those countries in
which the marriage OF convenience is
the rule there Is far less divorce than
there is in the United States and
England, where the love match pre-
walls.
They point out that romantic love
lasts but short time and that after
that is gone those who have married
just because some pretty face or stall
wart form caught their fancy, or they
were drawn together by some physical
attraction, have nothing left. Whereas
those who have married suitable lndi-
vidualS, who were in their own class
and Who could advance their inter-
ests socially and financially, have a
solid foundation on which to build
prosperous life.
This is good, sound, logical argu-
ment in favor of the marriage OF
convenience, provided one is cold
blooded enough to expect nothing Of
marriage except = working partner
ship. 1t Is q wedding cake without
the frosting on the top and 1t seems
to me that it would be pretty heavy
and clammy and lie heavy on the
stomach II you had lifetime diet
OF it. Such a marriage has no thrills
to it, no raptures, no sweetness, moth
ing but just plain duty and making
the best Of your bargain.
No doubt the marriage Of conven-
ience does last longer than the love
marriage, taking them both by and
large, because it has less exposure to
the emotions In it. Those who go
into such a marriage do not expect
so much of marriage or of each other,
as do the romantics who vision mar
riage as an Eden on earth. Nor are
they likely to be jealous, and that
makes for a placid and peaceful life.
But they never know the rapture that
comes of loving and being loved. They
never see the glory ana the circling
wings that the love marriage does,
even if they only glimpse 1t for a
short time, and that is what really
makes marriage worth while.

preparation for an important event
the annual inspection of the var
ious units under the watchful and
critical eyes of regular United States
army officers-according to Brig
adler General Emil F. Marx, who is
the adjutant general of Ohio. In
all, there will be 213 separate in

to April 10, at armories in all parts
of the state and the public may at
tend General Marx asserted. Not
only will the entire membership of
the guard be inspected under arms
and in service uniforms, but inspec-
ton will be made also of records
and government property Since
the importance of the military or
ganization not only to the state, but
to the nation in times of sudden dis

the attention of the civilian popula-
ton by reason Of the guards eff

inspections is anticipated, General
Marx said
Improved health conditions for
Ohio school children was promised
by Dr.. Walter H. Hartung. director
of the state department of health.
"When it is realized that about so
percent of child's waking hours
are spent in the environment of the
school it is no wonder that the at
tention of parents, educators and
all interested in child health in Ohio
is turning to an appraisal of school
conditions DR.. Hartung said.
"There is a minimum standard with
which each community can compare
it's school buildings, equipment and
grounds, health service and health
instruction, and the health of its
teachers, bus drivers and janitors-
The bureau of child hygiene in the
state department of health is start
