Paris U.P)-"Beauty without bunions" henceforth will be the motto of Parisian shoe designers, who presented at their annual showing of spring and summer styles a new last, designed to pro- vide all the comfort of an ortho- pedic shoe, plus all the chic for which the French are famous.
 The new last, launched officially by R. R. Bunting, president of the Parisian Shoe Fashion committee, has a round tee and slightly built up sides, which gives of toe room, while at the same time minimizing the size of the foot. It is remind full of the square-toed plateau last created two years ago, but is much more graceful in appearance.
 The inner side of the sole, from arch to toe, is straight, as phy- sicians have contended it should be, but no physician could have pre- scribed the holiday of colors, the originality of design-admittedly ex- treme-and the heightened elegance of the 1888 mode in footwear.
 French bootiers have used all their ingenuity to provide a maxi mum of support in their shoes, at the same time using as little leather as possible. A shoe may have an open toe, an open shank, and just a strap where the heel is, but 1t will be cleverly reinforced by high tongue or saddle-tie over the instep which holds the bands of leather fin place.

bedrooms with open doors. It is the first time that Jackie has failed you in his life. You never dreamed that he was a "fraidy cat" Both of you are shocked and grieved and eX- plain that there is nothing to hurt him and to try it again.
 Explanations Only Confirm
 But the more you talk the more Jackie balks. He can't explain that a black balloon of imagination is crowding his heart into his throat, so he begins to chatter about big bad things, making them up as he goes, to explain.
 Maybe there is more talk. Kind ly enough, but positive. That fin- ishes it. With all this stuff taking shape in his mind that was not there before. now he knows. Mega tives mean little to a small child. There is something to be afraid of, he convinces himself.
 Silence is golden in all handling of fear. In this case the best way is to change the subject. Take Jackie up as usual and tell him funny story. Be gay and pretend that you did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
 Go up with him, tuck him in, and leave a light in the lall this first night. Leave his door open half way.
 Each night close the door just a little more and reduce the light. When he can rest happily with his own door closed, after, say, a week or so, you might try again to see if he will go upstairs alone.
 Have lights in all the bedrooms this time in both halls. Lower them each night as before. The day will come when all he needs is enough to guide him to his own rooms.
 No doubt you are saying this is lang draWnout experimentation. and so it is. But I give it to show how to wipe out unfortunate i'm pressions. Most youngsters are afraid of the dark, and they get used to being afraid. But in some cases, it remains to dog them and make life almost unbearable.
 The method of going back to be- ginnings and manufacturing new courage is wiser that talk, force, or shamming.

 Careful, Peggy! By trying to help Bill with his coat, you label yourself socially inexperienced"-the kind of girl a man hesitates to date for fear her blunders will make him look foolish.
 The popular girl shows her poise by simply telling her caller where to put his wraps, chatting cordially while he removes them.
 At party, she doesn't embarrass a latecomer by halting merrymak- ing for individual introductions. She announces gaily, Everybody, this is Bill Jones'" Or she introduces him to just a small group near the door.
 Dining out, she doesn't litter be- tween the chair the headWaiter has pulled out and the chair her date is standing by. She lets the head waiter seat her.
 No one can guess at etiquette and win. Do you know when to shake hands? When to rise and when to remain seated? Let our 32-page booklet answer your questions about introductions, invitations; dinners, dances, house parties.

 The Hilterized German girls are being made as much alike as Sol- diers. Now they are froced to belong to the same improvement" club and ordered to work as servants or in the field for one year before they are eligible for chosen work.
 We feel sorry for the German women, and a little superior when we visualize their coarsened hands, their muscles, and their lack of fem mine trappings and helpless appeal.
 We pity them. But let's not feel too snug about our own lot.

Paris Styles

But the heel and sole of the new shoe make up for any lack of leather in the top part. Inch-thick bot toms for sports shoes, and half-inch soles for afternoon and evening wear are the new rule. They are surpriS- ingly light in weight.
 Heels on golf and walking shoes look like 2-inch-thick blocks, either square or five-cornered, on which the shoe itself is mounted, as on pedestal. For town and evening wear heels become high and slim, reverting to the Louis XIV shape, of which the principal feature is its fiat, rather than rounded, back and it's slight flare at the bottom.
 AS for colors-its almost impossi- ble to find a shoe that's all black, or blue, or brown, from stem to | stern.

NEW DEAL FOR SUBJECTS
 OF HAY FEVER

First, no fair pretending you suf- fer from hay fever if your trouble is not seasonal. that is, if it does not correspond closely with the time of year when the particular pollen to which you happen to be hypersen- sitive is in the air. People with per- ennial "hay fever" may possibly de- rive some benefit from this new deal, but they are not invited to sit in the game.
 Every victim of either spring or fall hay fever who is not under medical treatment is welcome to participate in this great experiment., which literally covers the whole North American continent. When I say experiment, I mean, of course, experiment. However, I assure you before you come in that if the plan I now suggest does you no good it will do you no harm. Being a forth right, honest old quack I give no other guaranty. Here it is, take it or leave it.
 Sherman said War is I mean Prof. Henry c. Sherman said the American dietary is more often de- ficient in calcium than in any other element. Just try to remember thas for a few minutes.
 Out of thousand hay fever Suf- ferers who take course of calcium lactate treatment-say ten grains Of calcium lactate after food three times a day, or thirty grains after food once day for period of not les sthan eight or ten weeks, pref erably beginning before the regular hay fever season arriveS-perhapS 300 or 400 fail to nCsicc any benefit, 300 or 400 experience some relief but remain unconvinced of the eff1- cacy of the treatment, and POO de- rive so much benefit that, for week or two, they are quite enthusiastic in their praise-so wildly enthusias- tic that occasionally one of them has actually sat down months later to write and tell me about it, and when he or she wasn't looking for anything either.
 If calcium brings such striking relief to the fortunate 200, there must be a reason why it fails to bring the same relief to the less for tunate 800.
 The big idea. then. is that the effects of the calcium treatment vary according to the individual ca pacity to assimilate, metabolize, util- ize or retain calcium in blood and tissues, whether it be food calcium

LONGER LIFE FOR HOSIERY

Since precipitation affects silk fibers, silk stockings should be washed carefully each time they are worn. Use warm, mild suds and be cure that the cleansing agent is thoroughly dissolved be- fore immersing the hosiery. Rinse thoroughly in warm, not hot, water. Never rub stockings on washboard or rub soap directly on them. Squeeze dry, not twist, when wiring ing and hang in a shady spot out doors, or, if indoors, not too near a radiator or stove.

WOMAN'S REALM

If you want to look your best all the time, do not
 Try to make your hair "do" an extra day or two. eff possible, go to the hairdresser the same day every week. Then you won't look a fright when an unexpected guest drops in or have to dash madly for 8 beauty shop the afternoon of 8 party).
 Ask to have the drier turned off before your hair is thoroughly dry.
 Leave the beauty shop until hair has been carefully brushed and the waves pushed back into place by the person who set them i'll the first place. A wave which won't stand brushing isn't worth having, and it's a mistake to leave the shop with hair covered with dry wave-set lotion.
 Wear the same coiffure month after month, year after year. Hair styles, like fashions, change. And a ten year old hairdress dates you as much as does an outmoded frock.
 Dye the first gray hairs unless you are going to have time and money to keep them, and those to follow, perfectly dyed to match the hairs that aren't yet gray. The first dye job means, or should mean, 8 trip to beauty shop at regular intervals from that day un- til the time you give up hair dye entirely.
 Let anyone persuade you that brushing makes hair more oily. It simply brings the oil from the scalp down to the ends. For a while, this may be annoying, but, sooner than you think, the excess flow of oil will be checked.
 Believe for a moment that a weekly shampoo will make your hair dry or brittle or encourage dandruf. The clean scalp is more likely to be healthy than one which isn't. NEXT: A treatment in time.

When shad SWims up the river, it's time for your annual Spring din ner." Begin with pungent essence made of greens from the garden such as parsley, leeks, celery root, and whatever herbs you can lay your hands on. Cook these together in little water, drain and serve as an appetizer to the treats to follow.
 With the shad, serve new pota- toes in parsley butter and the fresh est and greenest spring asparagus in the market. Hollandaise sauce if you must, but drawn butter with sus- picion of lemon juice, is the ideal accompaniment for this spring vegetable.
 A huge sprightly bowl of spring salad comes next - and it comes with nothing more elaborate than French dressing made of olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice and spices. In the bowl toss Chinese cabbage cut in strips, radishes, green pepper, watercress, sorrel, endive, crisp lettuce, chopped pars- ley, sliced cucumbers, chopped chives, few chopped raw green peas, a few tender young carrots shredded ipto golden strips. Toss and toss and then toss again.
 For dessert, nothing more sumptu- ous than the most sumptuous of ber- ries-straWberries served with thick rich cream. A few fresh ladyfingers and there is your greeting to spring in all its simple perfection. Broiled Spring Shad (Serves to 6)
 Use a 3-pound shad. Clean and wash. Split open along the back, remove large bone. Season with salt and pepper. Brush with melted butter, Place on broiler rack, skin down. Broil until half done, bastirg frequently with melted butter. When half done, remove to roasting pan. Baste again literally with melted butter and cook in hot oven (400 degrees F) until done. Serve on large hot platter garnished with wa tercress and thin slices of lemon. Plal;ked Shad
 (ServeS 4 to 6)) Prepare the shad 6 pounds) as for broiling. Rub gently with salt and pepper. Brush liberally with melted butter. Use an oven plank made of oak which is wider and longer than the shad. Butter it, then lay the shad on it skin side down. Place the shad on the plank in pre-heated hot oven (400 de- grees FD Bake for about 25 min utes, basting frequently with melted butter. Remove plank from oven. Garnish with puree of mashed po- tatoes forced through pastry tube. Brush mashed potato garnish light ly with butter, cover fish with oiled paper and run plank under flame just long enough to brown top of potatoes. Serve at once.
