Some of these peeresses have solved their problem by selecting bright colors, but others wisely realfze that a color to show to best advantage must also be fairly light. 1f there is metallic sheen all the better. But the ceremony in Westminster is in the morning, bear in mind, and it has been made quite clear that arms must be sufficiently covered and skirts must be long enough to suit the Victorian taste of Queen Mary. And, of course, all this affects more than the women of the two thousand guests who have been invited to af tend the wedding ceremony. ~ Eng- lish women of all shades of political opinion find it to their taste to re- flect the radiance of princesses and peeresses In matters of dress. Doubt- less this decree for covered arms, and conservative skirts would have! come even had Princess Mary been married two or three seasons ago. And there would have been need for bright colors. i But, as a matter of fact, everything Long sleeves, even long close-fitting | sleeves, are no longer a matter of special comment in Paris. And for no other reason in the world, ‘per- haps. than that she could hardly make skirts any shorter, second season of lengthened skirts. They are long enough mow to suit even Victoria herself. * And bright hues, light hues, bright enough and light enough to dispel the gloom of the old abbey bufit b; the ancient English kings had al ready come to dispel the browns an Paris is on the: blacks and grays that have shrouded French fashions for 8o many seasons. : True some of the dressmakers in their recent openings retained the all-black frock—notably Rolande— but most of them eniivened . their black frocks with touches of bright hues, greens and reds and blues, Where the all-black crepe frock per- sists it is perhaps because this color and material serves as an excellent medium in which to develop a new device of silhouette. It is hard to suppress white with black. Custom does not seem to stale its infinite variety and it always plays an important part in froeks and costumes planned for wear in warm resorts or for summer. How- ever, this year the white with black costume has a strong rival in_the all white frock combined ‘with the new bright green. One of the new bright reds is also placed against white with smart effect. There is wisdom in following the French lead in using this new bright green almost always in combination with all black or all white. is at its best.

They entice us with their lovely colorings, they invite us| to purchase them with their open promise of making any room cheer- ful that they are called upon to grace. - But the trouble with thelr gen- eralized use is that we too often se- lect. them for a certain room before glvirg enough study to that par- ticular room’s needs. The mood of the intended decorations should be given due thought. The proportions of the interior should be considered (and never should too many are: decked in cretonne dresses, As to the mood, cretonnes are in- formal and only suited to informal rooms. A colorful cretonne is a lovely ‘thing, but it loses its charm if it is called upon to do duty in a room austere and dignified in spirit. The rosy reds, the brilllant blues, the flowers that never graced any gar- den are gay. and youth made dignified and prim is a sorry sight. That is what hap- pens to these colorful fabrics if they are placed in surroundings that openly call for subdued colors and conservative patterns. - .

Physician and Aiahor. - importance of oonsidering the eize gr hrnum when Selecting designs or Lettuce the Natural Food. 1 have concluded an extended study and research into the question of so- called health foods by the decision that it would be of the utmost benefit to the general health if the consump- tion of lettuce the year around were increased about one thousand times the present consumption. Let us enumerate the reasons for eating let- tuce every day that lettuce can .be had. 3 the vitamines that pro- 3 riatiais M Pimento, Swiss, sold by the slice, pound or loaf. 8 VARIETIES IN TINS (1). Lettuce is one of nature’s tooth- brushes. (2). Lettuce is rich in vitamins. (3). Lettuce is unquestionably su- perior to any known medicine which may be-taken internally as a source of available iron for man. although certain iron solutions administered by injections into the blood or into the| muscles may be superior in certain illnesses. (4). Lettuce serves as a physiologi- cal stimulus not alone to “appetite and digestion in the stomach, but to the more important p.ocess of intes- tinal digestion, and may be comsid- ered a preventive of colitis, (3) Lettuce gives a wholesome bul': to the residue in the intestine, and thig tends to counteract the evils of ultra refined concentrated ‘diet. (6) Lettuce is among the lowest of all foods in fuel or nutritive value from the caloric point of view, yield- ing only 90 calories per pound. (About equivalent to two crackers or half a glass of milk.) This feature should commend lettuce to all over- stocked persons. (7). Lettuce freely used in_ the diet opposes acidosis and tends to keep the system normally alkaline. The popular notion that lettuce s sedative or soporific is a myth propa- gated by the romanticists who ed to write books on “dietetics” as an avocation. Lettuce will- no more soothe the nervous 8ystem nor put one asleep than will peanuts or ham gravy. Of__course the less wild life con- sumed with or on one’s lettuce the less nourishing the lettuce will be. Vegetarians should scrutinize their lettuce very carefully. It is Impor- tant that all lettuce be thoroughly examined to.discover uninvited guests and well washed and rinsed in pure black water to route any such guests. Metchnikoff insisted on cooking even lettuce, but that would be going to an unreasonable extreme for the sake of a mere theory. A variety or kind of lettuce called “iceberg” is so uniformly crisp and palatable that even persons indiffer- ent to ordinary lettuce find it an at- tractive relish. Let us eat lettuge each day. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Tight Harness. Does the wearing of elastic garters around the legs interfere with-circu- lation, or cause varicose veins or fall- ing arches or other foot or leg troubles?—(M. M. A.) Answer—If the -bands are at all tight they impede the return flow of blood from the extremities and tend to produce varicosities or fullness and dilation of the veins of the legs. Women should wear side elastics or hose supporters attached to easy ‘walists which take their support from the shoulders ‘like ?!Dendafl. Men should wear no hosé supporters, or very wide garters which are kept loose. Presecriptions. Will a prescription number in one state call for the same prescription in another state? What does prescrip- tion No. 10755 Minnesota contain and what is it used for?>—(Mrs. F. E. C.)-’ Answer—Pharmacists gene) file in a record kept for the num the prescriptions in consecutive order as they are fllled, numpering them for their own individual . convenience. Therefore no other pharmacist would know what t be called for by prescription 10755. The person for whom the doctor prescribed should recelve the origimal prescription’ with the medicine from: the pharmacist, since it is the patient's property; though in' some states the law re- qirires the pharmacists to keep ‘the original prescription on flle. In any case it is alinost Imvariably an un- ‘wise policy to use remedies that have been prescribed for dther pérsons. —re—e 4 A ‘pouffant ‘gown of yell 11 muabn\- s wfie‘c-lhm: ‘I::.l. .mE brofdered in rmnutmau. pearls an mauve paillettes ;and edged: with mel A gown ‘of white crepe de chine has panels of fan-pleating and bands of tiny lack ‘ros 'k of and lilac has sy ’f:g.rgldery on the o.

C, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1822..° There has been a great deal of dis- cussion recently as to whether steaming is good for the face or not. Usually I do not advise people to steam the complexion because the process is an exceedingly drying one. ‘What I advise instead is to wring an old soft towel from hot-water and to hold this over the face for a mo- ment, until the towel begins to cool. This process-is to be repeated three or four times and gives enough heat to open the pores of the skin. does not dry up the natural oils as a more vigorous steaming does. But in some cases steaming is necessary. If thera are a good many eruptions on the skin or if there antity of very large black- following method of open- ing the pores should be adopted. Bend over a large bowl of very hot water; possible, the bowl should be over heat so that the water does mnot cool. Throw & couple of large towels over the head so as fo hold in all the steam. Two or three minutes over the hot water will open BYEDNA ' KENT FORBES. the pores of the.complexion and will make the skin red and wet. ‘Then proceed to rub the skin with cleansing ‘creani\or with some medi- cated ofntment for the eruptions. The - most effective way to treal| pimples, aside from -the necessary dieting, is to rub “Bulphur ointment on the face, then steam Iit. This gives the ointment a proper chance to penetrate the pores of the skim and to . heal the pimples. A cold cream massage and a rinse should follow. .

A baked omelet is not only tasty for a breakfast dish, but it is good for the midday luncheon, and there is probably no other way of serving eggs, which will glve as nourishing a dish for so many people, with so few eggs. Beat three eggs, both the whites and the yolks separately. Heat a pint of milk to the scalding point, tut do not let it boil; add three tablespoons of flour, which has been stirred smooth in a very little cold milk, stir in the eggs, add the salt and pepper and bake in a buttered ‘baking dish in a hot oven for twenty minutes ,or until the omelet beeomes firm and is well browned on the top.

Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour and serve hot with cream custard or a hard sauce sea- soned with nutmeg. Cabbage Fritters. Select from the heart of a cabbage some firm, thick leaves, drop into salted boiling water until transparent and easily cut with a fork, but not ready to fall to pieces. Dry these carefully with a clean cloth, but do not press them too much. Season with salt, a little paprika and a sprinkling of sugar. Have a good fritter batter made as follows: To one cup of flour add a pinch of salt and half a teasngon of baking pow- der sifted, into this stir two well beaten eggs and half a cup of sweet milk.
