stacks, all duly inspected and passed by the grating health officials in their pay, you have to fall back on the alternative of synthetic sunshine for yours, say nice big spoonful of fish liver oil every day, or if that doesn't appeal to you, then few drops of somebody's brand of vios- terol daily. Fortunately there is still way to smuggle the synthetic sun- shine into recalcitrant or finical ones. It is the way good many persons subject to chronic sinusitis are keeping their heads clear and building immunity. Drop three drops, more or less, of vitamin D inhalant in each nostril with the head held far back for a few mo- ments, each night and morning, or If you prefer, apply the vitamin D in halant with atomizer as spray.
 Cream of Tartar
 Please tell me by return mail if cream of tartar is harmless when taken as medicine, how much one can take in "A hours, and for what it is good. (E. M. S)
 Answer = Potassium bitartrate, cream of tartar, is alkaline, diuretic (increases kidney secretion), mildly laxative, harmless when taken as medicine. Usual dose, half teaspoon full once or twice daily, taken dis solved in plenty of water, favored with lemon or other fruit juice and sweetened if you like. Old timers were fond of taking a daily dose or two of cream of tartar in the spring to purify the blood" Silly business, but amusing to credulous souls. It is the acid of grapes, tartaric acid, combined with potassium. Like the citric acid of oranges, grapefruit and lemon, tartaric acid or acid po- tassium tartarate or cream of tartar is oxidized into alkaline carbonates and so acts as an alkali or antacid in the blood.
 Spectacle Bows Hurt Ears
 Wearing glasses many years, my ears sometimes get very sore and ir- ritated by the temple. Optometrist who fitted glasses cannot see any reason why the bows should hurt my ears. (Is there something to rub on to toughen the skin behind my ears? (M. A.)
 AnSwer-Carefully fitted bows will not cause such trouble. Use the shortest bows. not long ones extend ing down back of the ears. Keep two pairs of spectacles and wear them alternately. Twice daily apply a wee bit of tannipaste to the tender skin. TannipaSte is salve for first aid treatment of burns and sun- burns.
 Mouth Wash
 Can you suggest anything better than diluted peroxide and alkaline antiseptic solution to use as 8 where the tongue is dry and heavily coated in fever, etc? E. E. W.)
 Answer-Use equal parts of gly- cerin, lime juice or lemon juice and water. -S

 The size of your wedding break fast does not determine the num- Der of years you will stay married. If it did, the Count and Countess de Tristan surely would remain mar ried for eternity.
 Roger CretauX, executive chef of the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, was in charge of their wedding breakfast. He persists in keeping his recipes secret, yet he will tell what he served at the na- tionally discussed California we'd ding. Just snack, you understand, beginning with 1900 assorted fancy canapes, plus smoked salmon, fillets of anchovies, sardines, domestic cav- jar and foie gras to waken the guests appetites.
 Then They Began to Eat
 Then came the food: salmon mousse, lobster mousse, ham mousse, llams in jelly decorated with elaborate initials of the bride and groom, salad of chicken, truffles, celery knobs and arti- chokeS, stuffed eggs a la St. Fran cis, small French pastries, fruit sherbets, small, fancy assorted petitS pains and butter, and cof- fee. That was a buffet for the standing guests to nibble at, but the bridal party got chairs and added hot consomme, seafood souffle, potatoes, asparagus tips, bombe Nesselrode and petit fours in spun sugar baskets to their achievements.
 But such magnificience. though pleasant enough for the guests, isn't at all necessary to assure the bride and groom happy life. For the small wedding in an apart ment or tiny house, this menu is suggested for it's economy, flavor and ease of preparation: chicken mousse with individual molds of jellied tomato aspic, hot buttered rolls, cheese and pimiento sand- wiches, plain watercress sand wiches, pecan ice cream, brides cake, coffee, salted nuts and hints
 Chicken Mousse
 Q0 ServingS)
 One cup boiling water, pack age salad gelatin (aspic), 3-4 cup cold water. IA teaspoon salt, 1-2 teaspoon paprika, 1-2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken. 1-2 cup mayonnaise, 1-2 cup cream, whip ped.
 Dissolve salad gelatin in boiling water. Add cold water, salt and paprika. Chill until it begins to thicken. then gradually beat in mayonnaise. Fold in chicken and whipped cream. Mold and chill antil firm.

 For trimming, embroidery is more favored than lace and ruffles. The average everyday dress has neither, however, and is as tailored and trim as your own suit. Christening dresses, of course, are layishly decorated with embroidery and lace. This is the one item in baby'S ward- robe which gives grandmother a chance to do fancy work to her hearts content.

Mental pictures of Bob. and Mary Melissa had bedeviled the Indian for days. She couldn't stand 1t, she told herself. So she determined at breakfast to climb the ladders, take a lantern of her own and go into the new cave. The time had come when she could no longer obey her loved ones command to wait. She must see if he were in danger. When she had reached the top ladder, Honey Bee had worked up an intense hatred anew for Mary Melissa.
 "He would not have been lost, but for her," Honey Bee told her. self.
 She lighed the lantern, after a quick inspection of the castle rooms. It burned evenly, brightly, She entered the darkness, quickly saw the chalk arrows Bob had made, marking his and "Lissa's trail. She saw the shriveled hue man body in its niche, too, paused moment to study 1t. Death! "Detth would take the white girl out of the way" Honey Bee was thinking.

Bee was not inclined to discuss 1t. She was surly. Things had got- ten out of hand. All three of them were, in fact, getting anxious, increasingly touchy, as day passed. And Hoffman may have noted that Hades was absent part of the time, but they didn't bother. The old man, as a matter of fact, was "cutting trail" He rode and he walked, inspecting every ravine, every coyote track, every possible place for signs of the missing ones. It bothered him that he could pick up no track.
 On the fifth day of Bob's and 'Lissa's absence, Hoffman left the camp himself, permanently. Tenn pers all were strained by that time, and the showdown incident to Holliman's departure served to relieve Hades some. He had "blowed off steam" as he would have put it. Scott Hoffman, lucky to be alive, must have had long and tiresome walk back to civili- zation, but 40-odd miles wouldn't kill him.
 Soon after sunup on the sixth day, Hades was still at the corral doctoring "a mule that had been injured, when he chanced to glance up the face of the cliff.
 "Waal. I'll be fried and but i teredp he exclaimed, mumbling to himself. Thar goes that squaw up thar!"
 It was true. Honey Bee was climbing the ladders. She had thought Hades gone for the morn ing, as usual, perhaps miles from camp and entirely out of range as to vision. She had brooded all l faiohf

r EGEND, as the true subject
 matter for the lyric drama had long interested Richard Wag- ner. While still at work on Lohengrin, he delved more and more into German, Scandinavian and 1celandic mythology. And eventually he chose a character for a new opera.
 This was the mythical Siegfried, Volsung hero. Wagner started, in November, 1848, with a poem de- picting Siegfried's death, but found that he scarcely had touched his expressing subject.
 So the great composer turned his hand to a predatory opera. He reversed his treatment of Sieg- fried by writing Der junge Sieg- fried" (Young Siegfried). By this time the idea had developed so richly that Wagner wrote still another preface, "Die Walkure" (The Valkyrie) and that in turn he prefaced with "Das Rheingold" (The Rhinegold). Eventually he shortened his first title to "Sieg- fried" and added a fourth and final member, "Gotterdammerung" (Dusk of the Gods).
 With completion of the four poems, there was still the music to do. This Wagner composed at varying intervals up to Novcm- Der, l774. Two years later, in Aug. 1876, the. entire tetralogy, now named "Der Ring des Nibc- lungen," was produced in a spe- cially constructed theater at Bay reuth. It proved the crowning achievement of Wagner's brilliant
