WOMAN,S REALM
GlOring Yourself

The many little charming ges- lures which you make at this sea- son-the gift to your weekend hostess, the remembrances to your several cousins getting married and to your sons and daughters friends graduating-seem even more im- portant now. And there are plenty of new charm aids to make them with, economically as well as pleasantly.
 For graduate or anyone whom you wish to favor with something slight but very fine, consider the new gift package from 8 fine French perfumer now based in the United States. Light summer fra grances, made for straw hats and chambray dresses, are available, and so are three other famed scents.
 Should you want gift which frankly looks more important than it is, consider great green glass jar of bath salts, or fine quality soap, or a sizeable cylinder of dust ing powder. These come from 8 house which is noted for It's taste ful garden-fragranced products, and each costs less than the gas for a weekend drive used to.
 DAINTY GIFTS
 ARE WELCOMED
 Another well known manufac- turer offers its invigorating bath series, with delicately lasting odor, in spruce striped containers. Toil- etries such as these, the essentials of comfort, will be approved by the most conscientious receiver and they will not throw the givers budget out of kilter either. They are designed for wartime conservation. The same thing is true of a new nail-polish and remover set which is all done up in bright blue paper basket with tiny sprig of flowers paper, too-for a flip.
 If your hostess is addicted to some particular makeup, 1t would be pretty gesture to take her some of that, gift-packaged or not. She will welcome another of "her" npstick, or powder, or foundation. If you do not know what she is using, or if you know she likes to experiment. with cosmetics, you might take her a fine new prepara- tion, A lovely one is done especially for summer white dresses, pastels and flower prints. Inspired by the camellia, a blossom beloved by Chinese painters, the preparations are blended to impart to the skin the opaque, even-toned smoothness of the flowers petals.

 Good cheerful clothes and good, cheerful, lasting furnishings for their rooms are counted as impor- tant parts of the economy program. They mean to spend much more time in the rooms from now on, winter and summer, and they are therefore looking for simple, wash able furnishings.

BIG DEMAND FOR ATR-RAID COATS

The buyer of one of Fifth Ave- nue's smarteSt college shops says early shoppers are seeking 8 good warm coat for night-watching dur afraid practice, plenty of cotton shirts, and that's all that's differ ent from last year.
 Tn fact, the triumph of new WPB-regulater college clothes in this shop is-they still look the same. There are pseudo-pleated skirts, gored skirts, dirndls and there are still plenty of sweaters, plenty of good tweeds.
 Button -down-front skirts may catch on later, 1t is expected, but right now the girls are not too in- terested. In fact, they're fairly in- different toward most novelties Packable, bicycle-worthy suits and culottes, however, are 8 big thing in the wardrobe.
 Behind these trends are the facts of wartime college life.

 Pork and Ham
 I said if pork or ham is cooked well there is nothing to fear about getting trichinosis. My friend claims the government issued a warning against eating pork or ham in any circumstance (M. B.
 Answer - You are right, your friend is in error. The government issued no such warning. Of course pork or ham should be thoroughly cooked. Thorough cooking kills any larvae of trichinosis the meat may contain. The same is true of beef (to kill any tapeworm larvae the meat may contain) and fish, Cto kill any broad tapeworm larvae the flesh of fish-especially through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, may contain).

Il know" she said. And maybe he's right
But, as long as he's got all the money he
wants, he won't really work at it. 1t frightens
me sometimes, his utter disregard of respon-
sbility. For instance, the way he rushed out
and bought house - dreadfully big place
as he learned we were going to have baby.

as though they were built that way"

he kept his feet firmly on the ground. "A baby

Three months" she said. Edward was
waiting - he said - to find you in good
mood to break the news"

her to let her know he was up to her tricks
She had been tremulous, in very touch
ing imitation of an anxious young wife. But
Mr.. ellison was totally unprepared for the
way she burst into tears.
he FOUND himself fluttering around her,
telling her to please stop crying, and then
found himself putting his arms around her,
absently. That seemed the thing to do. And
there she was, crying on his chest. While
Mr.. ellison hadn't had many girls cry on his
chest in his lifetime, he knew the real thing,
intuitively, when he heard it. He felt guilty.

Interesting - but not unexpected. But
why just you and not him, as well?"
He expects to 60 overseas soon. But -
but don't you see, Mr.. Cilson that he's been
led to expect that, and you are to blame. Why,
it never entered his head that should live
on part of his salary as captain"
Interesting" said Mr. ellison, cautiously.
What do you want me to do?"
Refuse. Wash your hands of him."
1t was new approach to Mr.. ellison, but
he wasn't fooled. why" he asked, bluntly.
Don't you see? He's got the makings of
a great artist. He -"
THE makingsr Mr. Gibson snorted AFTER
what his art has cost me, he should be made"
But he'll never really work at it. If he
comes back from the war and finds everything
the same as before, he'll fall right back into
his old ways - talking art, not working at it.
He'll never really develop that way. If he has
to make living at it when he comes back,
if he knows that - and my living off his pay
while he's abroad will prove it III be
ready to go to work when the war is over"

with him, gather he considers it practi-
cally corrupt to work at art with the idea of
making money. He's above those things"

and say he was very silly old fool; that he

shown unsupported good taste in marrying

Perfect! Dear me, I'd almost forgotten
Mr.. ellison said. "As you say - obvious"
She got up. I'D better go. He might be
waiting downstairs now. Remember - when
we meet, you've never seen me before. And
you're very bitter"
"I'll remember" he promised
He felt very happy. He kissed her on the
cheek as she left He said, But you'll slip
in surreptitiously now and then to see me,
about him, Adora. Besides - besides I'd like

II will, Mr. Gibson. And my name is
Dorothy, really"
"Well, don't call me Mr. Gilson"
MR. BOARDMAN arrived on Christmas Eve,
having caught the first plane back after Miss
Jordons letter. Miss Jordon hadn't tattled -
exactly. She'd just mentioned, in her weekly
report to Mr.. Boardman that she had made
all necessary arrangements to dismantle the
tree in the lobby the day after Christmas.
He stamped stormly into the lobby. Mr.
Murphy saw him first, paled and fled without
being seen. Moving closer to the rocco mon

body. Sorry" he said. Then seeing it was
that notorious crab, Gibson, he fastened to

The bill was in the same mail. Wading
through the legal verbiage - for it was in
the form of an agreement of sale - Mr.. Gibson
discovered that he was presenting his son
with home. By the size of the purchase
price, Mr.. Gibson judged it was no1ittle white
honeymoon cottage; rather it was on the
scale of baronial estate, in the riding coun-
try of Long Island.
What did he want for Christmas?
Mr.. ellison groaned.

He remembered then that it was full
hour before Edward was to bring his Adora
around So she was coming an hour ahead of
time? And alone, Ell? For private chat?
His mind leaped instantly to the logical con-
far out of his line, and he hated them. But
he had handled couple of glossy, exotic
creatures, with long silken legs and decep-
lively shy eyes, as favor for the important
men who were his clients, and whose sons
had gotten tangled up in those things.
He knew the technique. They'd weep, and
say they really loved young Jed, or Phil,
or Frank. They'd be very coy, saying at first
that they weren't interested in money, and
pretend they were lost, helpless and bewil-
dered. They were very convincingly 50, too

You're Adora?" he said. Competently he

figure.

She stood there, hesitantly Initably MIR.

Michigan 0utc|asses
Highly Esteemed
Illinois, 1914
Scores in Each Period,
Running Up Big Coins
With Varied Attack
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 81
Michigan swirled through highly
regarded Illinois for four touch
downs and administered to the Illini
a drubbing every bit as decisive as
the 28-14 score before a happy
throng of $4,000 here today.
Coach Fritz Crislers Wolverines,
surging back from a defeat by Min
nesota just week ago, cracked the
Illini defenses for touchdowns in
every quarter in giving Coach Ray
Eliot's resurgent eleven its first
Western Conference beating of the
season.
1t was Michigan's second Big Ten
victory against one defeat and the
Wolverines struck hard through the
air and on the land to win it.
A 19-yard pass rifled by Tom
Kuzma to Paul White gave Michigan
a first quarter lead, Illinois was back
on even terms briefly in the second
quarter, and then the Wolverines
marched SO yards to another touch
down and AT lead at half time.
After that Michigan was out OF
sight. Illinois swelled down the
field for a belated fourth quarter
touchdown, but even the Illinois
players knew the verdict was sealed.
