seat for four and half years.
 And second because Martha Dodd is an extremely intelligent young woman. Her new book, Trough Embassy Eyes," tells the story of how, as an eager girl of "A, she first saw Germany brightly through tourist eyes, and then grew sicker and sicker of the sight of "fine friendly, spontaneous people, more like us than our English cousins growing afraid oftheir own shadows distrustful of their friends and even their relatives.
 Martha Dodd told me that she liked embassy life, liked beginning the day with a luncheon, going from there to three or four teas, and then onto an official dinner, dancing with German officials and the diplomatic corps-meeting Hit Ter and all his raghthand men.
 But she wanted to learn more about Germany than she could from the inside facts she was able to pick up in social contracts with big shots. She wanted to know more than what was going to hap pen to the people. She wanted to know how the people would take it.
 So she spent much of her four and a half years travelling, stay ing in small inns in German towns, getting acquainted with middle class girls and average housewives.
 Here is how she describes the "Hitlerized" German women: "The middle-class woman is poorly dress ed; doesn't fix her hair attractively doesn't wear lipstick because it is drowned upon. She hasn't been able to keep her femininity with all the physical training she ilas been sub jected to, the regimentation, and her required work in the labor camps.
 "She looks more like a big healthy animal than an attractive woman"
 Miss Dodd says women have no influence at all with their fami- lies. Their husbands are lords and masters, and their children are put into Nazi schools where they absorb the Nazi doctrine while they are still just babies.
 She thinks that though German women are inwardly resentful at

 Generally speaking, as she grows older, the average woman's skin be- comes shade or two darker. It stands to reason that the face pow der which was fiattering when she was 20 just won't be when she is 40.
 It's mistake, of course, ever to say, Let me have such-and-such a shade of certain powder" A box of face powder usually lasts a pretty long time, and, during this time, it's likely that your skin tones have changed. If you are certain they have not, go ahead and order your old favorite. But if you aren't per- fectly sure, ask for samples of one slightly lighter and several slightly darker shades. Try these before you make final decision. Powder should match exactly or be one shade lighter than your complexion.
 Regardless of age, too much rouge never is becoming. Remember that it is used to give your cheeks a glowing healthy appearance not to make them-and you-conspicuous. No woman looks her best if her cheeks are f1amboyantly red, ab- viously rouged.
 Furthermore, rouge must be meticulously blended. Never apply it below an imaginary line between lower corners of the nose and tips of ears. Keep it high and see that it isn't streaked or that it doesn't end too abruptly too far from the hairline. Carry the edges lightly out to hairline, letting them disappear in natural looking fashion.
 Rouge ought to be the color your cheeks become after violent exer- else, or after they have been patted bit. That is, unless you happen to be wearing color which tends to make your natural coloring appear to be other than what it is. If you have a new purple dress, for ex- ample, you probably will want to wear rouge and lipstick which are purplish-red instead of clear red, the shade you like when your dress is black.

 wrong. Mothers are often compelled to decide what is right and fair in matters that cannot be explained to the public.
 It's a very nice thing for the chil- dren to find mother awaiting them when they come home from school. A day is a long time to 8 child. To hear, I'm up here, Johnny" when he calls, Hello, mom; I'm home,:. is a fine, comforting thing, like be- ing welcomed to a warm hearth aft CT a weary journey.

Mother there to say, T put some apples on the sideboard," or T have dry socks ready" Perhaps to rub a little salve on sore spot. To know that his mother is there to look after him, sets up our old friend security It is of psychologi- cal value.
 And yet, no mother should be a complete martyr to the demands of her offspring. I said, complete" There is difference. It pays to relinquish many diversions for the sake of the children. But 1t does not pay to let them grow up with the conviction that she has no per sonal rights.
 Little children need mother at home most of the time. As their outside interests accumulate, she may more safely venture forth in- dependently of their claims. This is a matter of good judgment and pre- paredness on her part. At no time should her absence leave trail of neglect or danger to the family.

Modern Menus
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Here's important kitchen news
 Poultry supplies for the first part of the new year are expected to be larger, perhaps setting new high records.
 Oranges and grapefruit are ex- pected to be plentiful with pros- pect of smaller handling margins.
 Total canned vegetable supplies may be about as big as last years record.
 Fresh egg marketing will increase seasonably until late spring.
 Dairy products are in large supply with heavy milk production and large storage stocks.
 Good News for Meat Eaters
 If you like meat in your diet, here's more good news from Con- sumer,s Guide.
 Total meat supplies for 1889 are expected to be above a year ago. Pork supplies are considerably in excess of last year while beef may be about the same, perhaps slightly larger.
 Sizeable increases are anticipated for better grades of beef. Ample grain stocks and a favorable feed livestock ratio point to more beef feeding and marketing of heavier cattle. Grass-fed cattle, COWS and calves probably will be marketed in smaller quantities, but the increase in grainfed animals should offset this.
 Veal will be in smaller supply. Pork supplies are expected to be considerably greater than last year. Dressed and live poultry supplies are larger than year ago, ap- preaching record proportions. Meat prices usually decline from October through February.

 The end of the day-a trying day of each of them. But these two who greet each other so hap pily have a philosophy of living, constantly practice it. They don't let the days annoyances mar pre- cious evenings together.

 Let your daily guide be his de- scription of the philosophic person: he willingly helps others, but wants no help himself, he never feels ma lice, forgets injuries, does not speak evil and "bears the accidents of life with grace and dignity"
 Everyone can have a fuller life through inner strength, is the mes- sage of philosophic thinkers past and present. As for happiness, our own Kathleen Norris says, "the ma- terials right in our hands at this moment are its ingredients.

THE PREVENTION OF
 APOPLEXY

The common name for apoplexy is "stroke" or shock" of para lysis. Physicians refer to the con- dition as cerebral hemorrhage and to the consequent paralysis as hemiplegia, which means one-sided stroke, for the paralysis Is usually confined to one side of the body. If the right side of the body, es- pecially the right arm and hand is affected, usually there is more or less paralysis of speech too, for the brain center controlling fine move ments such as writing by the right arm and hand is in the left side of the brain close to the center con- trolling the muscles of articulation and the bleeding in such case is into the left cerebral hemisphere, gen. erally from rupture of a small branch of the middle cerebral ar- tery which supplies blood to that part of the brain.
 Speech center of a right-handed individual is in the left side of the brain( near the base in the region of the ear). In a left-handed in dividual, however, the speech center is in the right side of the brain. Ambidextrous individuals, if trained to write and do other fine work with either hand or both, use both sides of the brain, are less likely to suffer aphasia Qoss of speech) from a. stroke, for if the hemorr- hora into &ha hro l., tiec,,a <lo v,oa roc the speech center of one side, the already developed speech center of the other carries on. Individ- uals who are trained only one- handedly must start from scratch and learn to write latent center when the active writing speech apparatus has been put out of commission by apoplexy or other injury. This is another good reason why natural left-handedness should never be interefered with; or rather why ambidexterity should be en- couraged.
 Unfortunately there are no defi- nite warning signals of impending apoplexy. Flushed face or an ap- pearance of full l-bloodedness is nc more significant, perhaps less. thar pallor or an anemic or thin -blooded look.
 Unfortunately, too-for the vic. tins of pretense, many eminent physicians, relying on their eStab- lished position, still dare to perpet- rate upon credulous patients suct trick diagnoses as "brain flag, nervous breakdown" the "verge of neurasthenia, functional ner- vous exhaustion" or just "bad nerves Such humbug diagnosis may not be entirely vain in cases on the callow side of forty, es- pecially if 1t holds patients under observation till the doctor can get some idea swhat really ails 'em. But even that expedient cannot justify such quackery when the patient is over forty years of age. In every case where a patient past forty complains of such symptoms as fatigability, increasing restlessness, insomnia and apprehension, even though the vital organs are appar- ently healthy and the blood pressure is normal or subnormal, the state of the arteries, and not the nerves. calls for the physicians most care- ful consideration.
 Doctor who treats himself has a fool for patient. Layman who treats himself has oAe for doctor But of all fools the srperlative is the layman Nsio attempts to inter pret and regulate his own blood pressure.
