"You can take Dot anywhere, Jim says. And she'll never let you down." ..-
 Sweet praise indeed. Let's tag along and see what it is that makes Dot such popular dinner date.
 First of all, her gay self-assur- ance puts her escort completely at ease. She waits for him to pull out her chair, smiles her appreciation as he helps her off with her wrap.
 Second, she makes a man feel important. What do you recom- mend, Jim?" she asks as they exam inc the menu. She always tells her date what she wants, lets him give their order to the waiter.
 Third, she avoids all the little slips that offend fastidious people. She touches her napkin to her lips before taking a drink of water if there is risk of a greasy smear on the glass. She puts salt for celery on her plate, not on the tablecloth. She never drops olive pits in the ash tray.

 Center on Casual Lines

new gait to midsummer evening functions. Perugia, the master shoe maker who is featuring them almost exclusively in his new collection, predicts that in less than no time, women will refuse to wear anything else. He has been working on the sole" technique for some months and is now showing practical sports and afternoon sandals with the clog sole. The fact that they are com fortable and give height will be a great factor in their going over with women, especially the not-so-tall.
 Mainbochers offering to the world of fashions is generous so far as ideas go, with many hints for ad- vance fall wear. He continues his schoolgirl silhouette but lays less emphasis on the tunic top which he launched in February-probably be- cause of its too great popularity. His clothes have casual, supple lines, even in the more formal eve- ming gowns. He features the most gorgeous colorings which he says are strong colors of antique inspira- tion and calls them "Bacchanale Blues," Jupiter Reds" and "Tyrian Purples."
 One-sided Effects
 A symetrical, or one-sided effects, trimmings, fastenings seem to be featured everywhere. Lelong has several evenings gowns with one shoulder only bare. His evening clothes are divided between the slinky, siren-like evening gowns and the full-skirted dress, but without any stiffness. Even nets are sup pie and fall int odeep folds that make one think of swansdown.
 Lelong's contribution to the jewel picture includes earrings that fea- ture two large, interlocked rings hanging from a shoulder-long, ten uous chain which is attached to a half-circle slipped on the lobe of the ear, and slave bracelets, one on each wrist, with four slender chains ending in rings through which the fingers are slipped. These were shown with a slim dress of purple chiffon with sash in cerise tying in huge bow in front.
 Window" cutouts and transpar- ent tops, are still featured in the more exotic evening gowns. New too, are the threaded effects which Lelong launches-all around the waist or down either side of the front, below the bustline-usually in contrasting ribbon.

greater during the early teens than it is during infancy.
 From the age of 10 years up to the age of IS years the calcium re- quirement is greater than at any other time of life. The vitamin D requirement of course varies with the calcium requirement., for vita min D is essential for the absorption of calcium from the alimentary tract and for its utilization and retention in the body-in the bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, blood, glands, every tissue of the body.
 It will take five to ten years for this important new knowledge to be disseminated even among the best physicians and specialists. It gen. erally takes that long fer tte rank and file of the medical profession 10 ccsimilate and apply rev kncH- ledge.
 Even now there is an odd fallacy prevalent among American pedia- trists Originally baby specialists, to- day child specialists who regard a patient as child until he begins to think of getting married) that vita- min D from fish oil of some kind is better than synthetic vitamin D pro- duced by irradiating ergosterol in yeast with ultraviolet light. They acquired this peculiar notion as doc tors get so many of their queer the- ories, from wrong inference. A moth- CT administered to her baby massive doses of vitamin D daily, by misun- derstanding-she gave the baby tea spoonful doses of viosterol daily, probably thinking 1t is of the e"''a vitamin D strength as cod F.
 Each drop of viosterol however, cona tainS nearly as much vitam teaspoonful of cod liver oil, ard and so the usual daily dose of vios- terol administered to an infant to prevent rickets is five to ten drops. After some months of such large dose sof viosterol the infant died. Autopsy revealed that there had been excessive deposits of calcium in various organs. From this meager information some doctors hastily in- ferred that the vitamin D had caused the trouble.
 There is no ground for any such belief. It is more likely that the baby died of parathyroid gland trouble with which the vitamin D had nothing to do.
 Innumerable physicians have ad- ministered to patients over pro- longed periods massive doses of vitamin D daily-from 100000 to 500,000 units daily, in the form of viosterol-in the treatment of arth- ritis, hay fever, asthma, psoriasis and other conditions, and have ob- served only beneficial results.
 In view of the tastelessness of ir- radiated ergosterol, its unvarying vitamin D potency (250 units in each drop) and with due discrimin- ation in specifying the brand its low cost compared, unti for unit, with fish oil preparations, not only every infant but every growing child should have the benefit of five or ten drops of it. It prevents decay of the teeth.

 Nancy knows there is onion soup for dinner. She can't eat onion soup. It makes her sick, if not really. then by imagination. She would rather stay in after school and write two hundred words than eat onion soup.
 So she says she has a headache and begs off from dinner. Mother brings her lunch up to her room, and gets her into bed. There's nothing wrong with Nancy but dread. She might possibly eat a mouthful or two of soup, but she knows too well the remarks of her parents who insist that she is only indulging a notion. And they might even compel her, for principles sake, to eat the whole plateful. They had done it before.
