AuTuNFNAL HAY FEYRR

Spring hay fever begins, in vari- ous parts of the continent, soIrle- time between April i5 and July (, The date of onset depends on the season of polltnation Of the grass es, notably sweet vernal, June or Kentucky blue grass, orchard grass, perennial rye and wild oats in the southwest, redtop and eke the good old Timothy which pollinates ct the end of May in the south, the sec- ond week of June up north and gives It's name to the ailment--hay fever, although compared with rag weed Timothy actually causes only Q few cases of this type of allergy.
 Far be 1t from me to imply that persons pllrporting to have hay fever earlier in the season than April 16 are malingerers or even that they are sniSfling and bleary- eyed under false pretenges or asl iEi- correct diaenosis. Now and then an Individual is allergic to tree pollen, and many trees begin pollinating as early as February, in fact the f11a- ples begin In January, elEns in March, the poplars in March, too.
 Darn 1t, these three beautiful trees-the most beautiful in the north and east, as the eucalyptus are in the southwest--nakes 1t dif- ficult to draw the line between the season of genuine hay fever and the season of spurious hay fever By spurious hay fever I mean perennial hay fever, so-called, which lights up and goes to beat the band for e while at any time of year re- gardless of whether there's pollen ln thc air or not. There Isn't room Go go into the nature and cause of ,he manifestation of spurious or mock hay fever here, but generally, as most people know now, 1t is really allergy to something else than pols len, perhaps some food, cosmetic, animal or bird erlanation, or in some cases 1t is due to masked sin- uSitis, particularly ethmoiditis with or without polyps.
 But who in the fall cares about spring hay fever or how to deal with it7
 Autumnal hay fever may legiti- mately begin as early as August i6. Now please don't be sarcastic, folks, If I set the date too late to cover your allegation. Of course ragweed, any variety of It. Is Q wretchsd, laWiesS weed for all know it may sometimes begin giving off pollen to the air in the second week Of August.
 Ordinary dwarf or short rage weed grows from Q few inches to four or five feet high. Giant rag weed grows six feet high. Rag weed pollen is Q microscopic dust, the grains of which look like burs under the microscope. It floats in the air from the beginning of poll- inatlon until the first frost.
 Many sufferers from raRweed hay fever attribute their trouble to gol- denrod, but goldenrod k iflsect-pol. unated and rarely causes hay fever. Sneezing induced by smelling gold- enrod Is more likely due to ragweed pollen which has settled Sil the gol- denrod. We'll talk about hay fevCr again tomorrow.

 An egg day will help keep the children's doctor away, And adults should have at least four eggs a week; more if possible.
 The following buying and stor- ing hints from Mrs. Frances Foley Cannon, New York market expert, will help you get your moneys worth:
 There are four grades of eggs Fancy" Grade A." Grade B., Grade e.. Fancy and Grade A eggs are those of the highest quality ins respect to freshness, firmness, color and odor.
 Grade B eggs are good edible eggs, especially for cooking. Grade 10 is, of course, the lowest grade, but still edible.
 An egg kept in a dealers win dow with the sun beating down on 1t will be less fresh in 24 hours than a much older egg that is stored in a cool place.
 Many women do not realize that the color of the shell has no bear ing whatsoever on either the quail ity or food value. The condition of the shell. on the other hand, does.
 Immediately after bringing your eggs home, put them in the refrig- orator - 1t IS not necessary to place in the coldest spot. Keep them as far as possible from high ly scented foods. as the shell is porous and easily ahsorbs odors. Do not wash eggs because the water will remove the bloom" that forms e natural seal for the pores Of the shell.

 New York. - Neatly saIadwiched between sweaters, skirts, trench coats and shirtwaist dresses - all in classic, favorite designs - there are, in the most exciting depart ments of college clothes this year, plenty of nonsensical bits of this and that, designed to add flavor to the fashion scene on the campus.
 There are, for instance, kilts-in authentic plaids. One of the most attention getting is wrap . around with deep pleats at the back and horse blanket pin fastening the front. It's to be worn with sweaters or blouses, of course.
 RonlperS are news. These usually are made of wool jersey, are one- piece from collar to bottom of the boomers and have long sleeves. over romperS, according to the de- signers who dreamed up the idea in the first place, go jumpers, In con- trasting colors. A romper under jumper outfit is supposed to keep the coed nice and cozy in Q wind swept football stadium, In cars and so on. If the Idea turns out to be less practical than 1t sounds, she always can send the rompers home to little sister and go on wearing the jumper with blouses.
 FAD DEGREES
 ROLLED UP SLACKS
 Something else to shout about are copies of riding jackets - in soft wools and handsome tweeds. Col lege girls will wear these with slacks as well as with skirts. Inci- dentally, the fad of rolling slacks up to Q point halfway between knees and ankles will continue, acc cording to various college boards who have been allowed to tell store buyers what to put into depart ments of college clothes. Don't ask me why why slacks will be rolled up, mean.
 Longer socks, which hit just be- low the knee, continue to be pop- ular and are shown with Suave gab- ardine shorts and longer jackets. The craze for Scotch >plaids has hit the accessories picture with Q big smash. There are interesting bags, scarfs, hats, gloves and wool sports socks in authentic designs of var ious clans.
 In spite of all the excitement about romperS and kits and silly little hats, however, the smart col- lege girls wardrobe will continue to consist mainly of skirts that can take hard wear, sweaters in both cardigan and pullover styles, shirt waist dresses in bright, gay colors, 6 suede windbreaker, Q reversible gabardine coat, some simple street length, date dresses and, of course, evening clothes.
 COLORS ARE GAYER
 THAN EVER
 Shell have flGinboyant scarfs, 6 few absurd lapel ornaments or per- haps Q couple of unusual peasant blouses or jackets with which to vary the classic backlogs of her wardrobe, but she won't build wardrobe on anything except the good old stand-bys,
 Colors for the campus are gayer than formerly. Kelly green, scar. let, Y,urple, electric blue, canary yel- low, burnt orange, vie for favor with brown, beige, gray and the other so.called neutrals. Checks as well as plaids are favorites.
 Rubber boots in two and three color combinations are news. So Is Q gabardine coat with removable leather lining.
