Tips on the Food Market
BY LUCE EBERLY.

p AVAGES Of Midwestern flood
waters have Influenced price
levels in local produce markets. Al
most all fresh vegetables and fruits
have advanced a little in price, and,
according to merchants, will prob
ably increase even more before the
week passes.
CINCE produce from California has
- been delayed for some time in
transport, We will have to depend on
Florida to help tide us over the i'm
pending scarcity. However, with still
a few good lots of Western supplies on
hand, and with the Southern crops in
their prime, there is no need for seri-
Gus concern.
Green leaf vegetables, fresh and
crisp, are piled high at all the stands.
Though few cents higher, you will
find spinach, baby kale, turnip tops,
escarole and beet greens still among
the cheapest items to be had. Green
cabbage, and beautiful white cauli-
flower, broccoli, unusually fine;
French artichokes, nearby and Florida
asparagus, fresh green Florida peas
and string beans, baby turnips and
red beets, parsnips and oyster plant,
large, firm eggplant and mammoth
size bell mushrooms all are available
and are of splendid quality.
Brussels sprouts are scarce, but the
Florida crop will soon arrive.
Lettuce and celery are still SEEM
ingly plentiful, but higher in price.
The Boston variety, however, remains
steady. Tomatoes, garden grown from
Florida, are the only ones to be found
just now They are of fair size, but
somewhat light in color. Spring on
ions, romaine, French endive, radishes
and alligator pears all help to main
tain a good salad bowl selection.

THE fruit counters are well stocked
with all sorts of good things. Ar

sweet and don't try to boss the whole

when you are old you can indulge
yourself in doing what you want to

what people expect you to do. You

GRANDMOTHER with snow
white hair was telling me the
other day how much she en-

\ joyed being old. Il am having
the time of my life being seventylsh,"
she said. ut is like coming in from
the heat and glare, labor, sweat and
struggle of midday into the cool gray
of a peaceful twilight, when you can
sit down and fold your hands and rest
and have an hour or so for pleasure.
mo doubt this surprises you be-
cause We women are taught from our
infancy that age is a woman's greatest
foe; something more to be dreaded
than anything else on earth. We
grow up saturated in the belief that
for a woman to grow old IS for
her to commit some sort OF crime
and misdemeanor that automatically
shunts her into the outer darkness
and cuts her off from all gayety and
fun. We never think Of an old
woman enjoying life. The most we
expect for her Is resignation to the
inevitable.
ION the contrary, we glorify the
youth of women. We make it the
symbol of perfect and unalloyed JOY.
We are forever prating about happy,
carefree girlhood and we never recog-
nize that times out of 10 it Is the
old woman who is eating her white
bread instead of the girl and that
grandma is a thousand times less care
burdened than granddaughter.
X y X
my GRANDDAUGHTER, for in
A'A stance, has SO much more to
worry about than I have. She is
worried sick for fear she may not be
invited to some party she wishes to go
to; or that the right boy may not date
her, or that some other girl may have
a prettier dress, or that enough boys
will not cut in on her dances. AL Of
these are poignant anxieties that eat
into her soul, poison her days and
make her feel that it would be better
to be dead than to be wallflower at
a ball, or for some commonplace youth
not to come by in his roadster for her.
"But these things do not vex me
because I have lived long enough to
find out how few things matter and
am immune to disappointment because
time has taught me If I can't do the
thing want to do I can do something
else equally amusing.
"Also I have reached the time Of
life when men are just human beings
and not potential sweethearts or hus-
bands. No woman is ever completely
happy until she is so old that she
knows that no man is going to look
at her, anyway, SO she can dress as
she pleases and let out her corset
strings and eat what she likes. It is
a blessed estate, believe me.
"THEN when you are old you don't
have to keep up appearances.
That gives you the peace that passes
all understanding. If you like Pretty
clothes and to be well-groomed, so
much the better, of course, and you
get 10 times the reputation for being
well-dressed that you could on the

Chapped Lip
Should Be
Given Care
Biting and Tearing at
Skin Makes Matters
Much Worse.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

WINTER ills have a way of linger-
ing and very often rear their ugly
heads long after the cold spell itself
has gone with the wind" One Of
these ills is chapped lips. And they're
no mark of beauty, particularly when
coupled with gay Spring costume.
It is not Only difficult, but WE'LL
nigh impossible, to get lip rouge to go
on smoothly over a chapped, broken
surface And lip coloring becomes
more and more important in the make
up picture. In fact, lip makeup Is
second in importance only to eye en-
hancement.
It's a very natural gesture to bite
and tug at lips that are cracked. This
only makes matters worse, so don't 90
it. You may remove the cracked parts
and have a surface that seems smooth.
but this skin is so thin that it cracks
all the more easily at the slightest
provocation.
Another unfortunate gesture, but
one which ever SO many women un-
consciously persist in is moistening the
lips. This also encourages chapping.
AS I've said, lip chapping has a
way of lingering unless it is treated
| properly, but under kindly care the re-
sponse is quick indeed Gently mas
sage a soothing cream over the lips
and leave a thin film of It on over
night. In the morning, before apply
| ing makeup massage again with the
cream and let a thin layer serve as
the makeup base. With a smooth
foundation the lip rouge will go on
evenly. Then do the tissue trick, Bit
| ing on square of cleansing tissue. or
dust very lightly with powder and ap-
ply the lip color again This helps
to give the coloring lasting effect.
When removing the lip coloring,
use cleansing cream and tissue in
stead of soap and water; or use a
little oil That doesn't sound or taste
very good, but it is very soothing to
| the lips.
Camphor ice is soothing, too. And
colorless pomade is used by any num-
Der of smart women as the make
up base for lips the whole year round.
And, when applying the lipstick, try
to remember that the color should
have about 10 minutes to set" Don't
moisten the lips or bite or tug or
wipe the color before the 10-minute
period is up. Don't do any Of these
things at all if you can help it.

~ importance of a carefully
1 \ planned foundation for his
structure, and surely this is
the place to start in building up your
Spring wardrobe. The foundation
garment is the very crux of the whole
matter.
"And what is the ideal 1887 sill
houette?" you ask. We show 1t to
you in the figures sketched above. The
diaphragm is long and slim, with a
noticeable break at the waiStline:; the
bust high, but not large nor pointed.
Stomach and hips are made as fat
as nature will allow Having acquired
at least an approach to this ideal
through exercise and diet, let us see
what the shops are offering to take
you the rest of the way.
We should like to stress at the very
beginning that economy of price will
not bring you economy of line. The
inexpensive garment-that eye catcher
on the bargain counter-is never the
foundation that will do the most for
you. The more you pay, the more
subtly designed is your garment, and
so also in proportion is it comfortable
to wear, yet capable of holding its
own.
Standing in a corset department the
other day We overheard customers,
ono after the other make their wants
known, and then add, but not too ex-
pensive,' thereby often defeating
their ambitions to look we'll and feel
comfortable. Recalling how often we
have bought girdles only to wear them
a few times and discard them, because
they were so utterly uncomfortable,
we have at length learned the lesson.

And I must say that the spicy flavor

Exhaustion
May Cause
Rebellion
Some Children Seem
to Have Regular
Rhythms of Fatigue.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

mo, CAN'T get out today. Susie
is having one of her spells, and
nobody can do anything with her but
me. I'll just have to stay by until it
b over"
Susie had begun the day with q
rebellious "I won't brush my teeth.
You can't make me-" and mother had
10 be called. From then on she had
pitted her might against the world.
II it seemed that she was to do one
thing, she Immediately declared for
the opposite. If the opposite was
granted her, at once she declared for
the original idea. She was agin'
everything and everybody.
"She gets like this every once in
q while. Tomorrow she will be as good
as an angel. But today-if I live
through it I'll be happy. I don't know
what makes her so. Guess it is her
nature"
Usually it is fatigue. Some chill
dren have rhythms of fatigue. They
don't seem to be tired enough to mat
t.: until one morning they are so tired
that they can't abide themselves and
have spell" The very best thing
to do with them is to give them warm
bath, put them to bed in quiet room,
give them light diet, and allow them
complete rest. A favorite toy, just one
restful toy, may be allowed them, but
no talking, no visitors, no excitement.
If they cry, let them cry 1t out and
sleep it off. They will feel much better
in the morning.
Sometimes a child needs change.
The routine has palled. The people
about them have lost all appeal and
all interest. Seen too often and heard
too much they have become like posts
and signboards, to be passed by and
forgotten as quickly as possible.
School and its lessons have become
a dreary round. and the games have
lost their flavor. 1t is time for a
change
Try taking the tired child away for
q short trip, or visit. Show him things
and places he has not seen before.
Let him meet strange people, or peo-
pie rarely seen. Give him few new
and happy experiences and his mental
and physical tone will be improved.
His boredom will vanish and his in
terest will revive. He will be glad to
go back to home and family. happy
to see his SchoolmateS and teachers
and reconciled to work once more. A
change works wonders for tired chill
dren and their mothers.
There are children who sicken at
the unchanged routine. They lose
their appetities, play with reluctance,
Withdraw from ordinary experiences
and NOPE. Sometimes they have cry
ing spells, sometimes they show nerv-
Gus disorders. Such children need rest
and change. Few OF them need any
other attention.
Suspect naughtiness that comes in
spells, illness that returns in rhythmic
order. Fatigue is often at the root of
the trouble. Attend to the daily sched-
ule, provide for more rest, arrange for
pleasant changes in order to ward off
the evil day of collapse. Should it
overtake the child, a day In BED, or
few days away from home, may help.
Rest certainly will
