Paris CUP) Its a wise bride who has chosen early summer for her wedding, for she has picked season that allows for trousseau of a de- lightful mixture-from tweed suits to cotton beach coats.
 Here's peep at a grand duchess s rousseau. It is that Of Grand Duch- esS Kira of Russia, bride of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. It was
 made for her by Schiaparelli--l7 outfits, including two court dresses.
 Few brides will require court dresses, but the duchess chose one of clinging gold lame and another or silver lame embroidered in silver. With those out of the way, her rousseau included: three ensembles, two dresses with matching jackets, one afternoon coat, two dinner dresses, two evening dresses and one evening coat.
 For travelling the duchess chose a tWo-piece costume in heavy brown silk with fiecked stripes of red, blue and pale yellow. Over it she wore a. straight topcoat of warm beige tweed lined with the striped brown silk. The second of her ensembles was carbon blue, pin-striped shan tung dress under a loose topcoat of carbon blue Woolen, and the third had a daShing red blouse with grege tweed suit.
 Grand Duchess Kira is only 29, and is tall and chestnut haired. She had seven costumes in blue. The evening jacket was Of blue lame, cut short in Chinese style. One even- ing dress was of dark blue mousse line, shot with silver striped from the bottom Of it's wide skirt to the top Of it's low decolletage. Another had blue wheat stalks printed on q flowing white mousseline skirt. An informal silk tussah dress was printed with blue crabs!
 Grand Duchess Kira defed al- most every trouSseau tradition by picking only one black and white model for daytime wear. It was a simple black and white printed silk dress with matching jacket. But she made up for the slight by having one of her two dinner dresses in white cloke, the other in black shan tung, cut on the bias.

 Should Not Alibi
 Why should our children learn to depend on the voice of authority every minute of their waking day? Jimmy stays out with the crowd and neglects his home work. He knows he has broken faith with his book, but he has a grand alibi. Why didn't you call me, Mom?" he wants to know. Thus he puts his own err TOT in another bracket. He would never think of saying, T knew had lessons and should have come in half an hour ago. Ted went home and 50 did Dick. But Tom and l were watching the ushers put up new posters at the movie"

IRON AND NERVOUS STABILITY MONOXIDE AND NERVOUS
 DFRANCFMENT

Iron is heavy, but that isn't the reason it steadies the nerves. A wee dash of it, approximately one-fourth of a grain a day is essential for normal nutrition. It begins to be evident now that something else is essential, as well as sufficient iron in the intake, to insure absorption of the iron and it's utilization in the body. Present indications arc that the something else is vitamin B.
 Some great doctor or medical teacher of the last century conceiv- cd the plausible idea that neural gia is the cry of nerve for better nourishment."
 One of the familiar complaints of women with simple hypochromic anemia or secondary anemia is neuralgia.
 Iron enters into the composition of hemoglobin, the coloring matter of the red blood corpusclcs, and the function of hemoglobin is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. The hemoglobin does this by forming weak chemical combination with oxygen, but the cells of the body have a stronger affinity for oxygen so they seize 1t from the blood and trade off carbon dioXide for 1.-the carbon dioxide has a stronger affinity for hemo- globin than oxygen has. This is very

DUST WALLS GENTLY

Frequent dusting of walls and ceilings saves heavy labor and ex- pense ultimately. A soft wall brush or a brush covered with soft clean cloth are satisfactory cleansing im- plements. Brush lightly with over tapping strokes to dust away loose particles brush heavily may rub soil into the wall surface. Painted walls may ordinarily be washed with warm, mild suds, swabbed with clear water and wiped dry. Take care to wiring your cleaning clothes as dry as posssie, use overlapping strokes and do not try to cover too large an area at one overlapping strokes and do not try to cover too large an area at one time. Avoid using harsh securing powders on stubborn soil spots. Whiting. pur- chasable in any paint shop, is soft in texture and effective.

simple and clear, isn't 1t. That is, so far as the respiration or inter change of oxygen and carbon diox- idle in the tissues is concerned. The real problem is to explain how the dickens the hemoglobin manages to let go of it's load of carbon dioxide when 1t gets back to the lungs with it and takes on fresh load of oxy- gen. Do you know, I've tried and tried, far, far into the night, but never even approached solution of this puzzle. If ever do hit upon fairly rational explanation for 1t I'm going to knuckle down and finish Our Own Physiology"
 However, there is no mystery about the way insufficient iron &C., counts for loss of nervous stability. If there is a deficiency of iron in the hemoglobin, rather a deficiency of hemoglobin, the blood can carry less oxygen to the cells of the body.
 All of the ill effects of carbon monoXide are due, not to any pois- Oning but to this same state of anoxia or deficiency, as car bon monoxide crowds oxygen out of the blood and the cells of the body.
 Carbon monoxide is now one of the most frequent factors of "nerv- Ousness," derangement of the nervous system, nerve weakness. so- called nervous exhaustion. Not only acute gassing or asphyxiation but also the insidious or cumulative effects of slight pollution of the air by carbon monoxide.

Gl0riWng Yourself

 The woman whose skin is too dry, too oily or otherwise imperfect should do all she can to correct the troublesome condition as speedily as possible. Meanwhile, however, she ought to learn to choose the kind of makeup that will hide defects, then learn to get 1t on in the best possible manner.
 For instance, if your complex ion is very dry, daytime cream which gives skin a moist, dewy look should be used as foun- dation. Over this, goes cream rouge, of course. Then a light, airy-textured powder with ex- cellent adherent properties. A bit of yaseline or one of the new, extra a-rich eye creams, may be smoothed across lids to take away the dry parched look. Moist, creamy lipstick (although it us- ually doesn't stay on as long as the dry, indelible varieties) is better for dry skins.
 For Oily Skins
 If your skin Is oily, cleanse with soap and water, pat on toning To- tion, then apply grcaseless foundation. There are several of these on the market, so search un- til you find one in a shade which matches exactly the tone of your skin. Experiment. with both cream and dry rouge. The dry types us- ually are most satisfactory on very oily skins, but it's up to you to de- eide for yourself which you like bet ter. Try several types of powder until you find one that stays on for hours and doesn't "cake."
 If your face is scared from blemishes of the past or if you cannot seem to keep it smooth and clear, by all means get spe- cial foundation which will hide scars and spots. Tell your doc tor or the skin specialist who is treating the blemishes that you intend to use it, however. It's mis- take to put any type of makeup on open sores. however small, without first consulting an expert. .
 Naturally, one who has acne, in any form, ought to see her family doctor, then follow his advice on going to a specialist. Experts agree that the majority of skin ailments, serious or otherwise, are caused by improper diet or faulty physical condition of some kind. Only your doctor can find out exactly what is wrong. Only he can give you diet advice and decide what steps you should follow both in choice of skin specialist and in new and better health habits.
