If a woman will drop corsets when she shouldn't, she appears to better ad- vantage in sport clothes rather than formal afternoon attire. In this country we are almost in a state of obsession about informal clothes. In France it is the other way around. Here we spend our hot- weather season with even a more splendid freedom than the English, for we have a vaster place over which to roam. Whatever is offered for sport clothes ensices us. And it must be admitted that France does won- derful things for us. For instance, there's this idea of peasantry clothes that France began, and we will further. Unbleached cot- ton is a fabric we know much about. If blouses are to be made of it gowns fashioned of it, we do not ap- proach the task with unfamiliarity. The Slavic races lead the way this ason, so it is naturdl that the com- monest of all their garments, the coarse yellow cotton, should take its place in clothes worn in the open. The sketch shows such a blouse as designed by Worth of Paris. It can be copied by an American in any part of ‘the land. Worth uses white cot- ton crepe. This can be the choice of e American if she wishes. Embroid- s in straight lines, made of black, coral. yellow and bright blue.

Noted Physician and Author. How’s Your Uric Acid? Saturday I must have had a touch of uric acld trouble. My mind seemed everywhere save on my work. course, I am not among the first mil llon who have -been even gravely beguiled by the uric acid hypothesis. Yet I have no doubt tha wool-gathering s listed among the symptoms which medical romanticists and ccmmercial = protazonists have nonchalantly ascribed te uric acid in the blood. Indeed, the array of symptoms or effects attributed to uric acid is not even eclipsed by the end- less and infinite variety of ills which imaginative souls like to accredit to that other fascinating theory, auto- intoxication. Given a glib familiar- ity with the dub literature of “auto- intoxication.” “anemia,” “weak nerve force” and “uric acid,” a shrewd fel- low might easily take unto hynself the name of “The New Heualth/ Edu- cation Committee” or something equally impressive and do a thriving business with the gullible portion of the populace The old masters, among them, alas! the incomparable Osler, harbored a fond fancy for a kind of vague uric acid retention. to which they gave the name of “lithemia,” or “uric acid diathesis.” diathesis being a doctor's way of saying a predisposition to or a tendency to something. This “lithe- was a grand invention, for it served as a most convenient diag- nostic scrap-heap for all the odds and ends of minor allment ticketed. As Dr. Osler remarks in the “doctors’ bible,” “One writer enumer- ates not fewer than forty-one sepa- rate morbld conditions associated with lithemia, and one of them astig- matism against the rule!” Which sufficiently indicates OUsler's skepti- cism of the uric acld diathesis. He further remarks—and I hope the reader will remember this particu- larly, for it is the wisdom of a great physician: *We may say that cer- tain symptoms arise In connection with defective food or tissie metab- olism, more particulariy of the ni- trogenous elements. Deflcient oxida- tion is probably the most essential tactor of the process this faulty metabolism. For the purpose of special empha- sis, T repeat what Dr. Osler sald— deficient oxidation, defective metafo- m. hsfleuhollsm isn't a fair word for a doctor to use in speaking to a lay- man. Perhaps even oxidation isn't entirely proper. Life and health de- pend on the constant combustion of food, fuel, body tissue, to furnish the energy required for muscular work and for the functioning of all the.or- gans. This burning of fuel is oxida- tion. The technical term for the process is metabolism. which is Greek for change, meaning particulariy charge in the form or character of something, bullding up and tearing wn. anr:‘e more sentence from Osler will apprise the thoughtful reader of the trend of this talk: “Overeating and overdrinking, when combined with defi.ient muscular exercise, lie at the Daais of this nutritional disturbance.” not otherwise | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Beat one egg well, using both yolk and white together; add one-fourth teaspoon sali, one and one-half cups opf .“5:,{ and one and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour. ~Cream until smooth, add one cup of cold water and the juice that has escaped while slicing the lemons and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Line a pie tin with paste, pour in haif of this mixture, then lay in the slices of lemon just as they were cut unpeeled, distributing them evenly and lapping them, if mecessary. Pour in the re: maining liquid mixture, cover the top with paste, add a stnr of wet cloth to the edge and bake slowly for forty- five minutes. Serve cold and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Steam four large figs until soft, then cut into very small pleces. Beat the white of three eggs until dry, then beat in alternately a fourth of a cup of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt and the figs, with a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Pour into buttered ramekins and bake until firm, deco- rating when done with small pieces of uncooked figs. Cream and sugar may be served with this, but no sauce is really neeeded.

Some Japanese Ceramics. i i H i When any one savs Japanese not- i tery, most of us think vaguely, “Sat- suma,” “Cloisonne,” “Bankofaience though the real devotee®of ceramics may study Hizen, Kioto, Owari, Bizen, Takatori, Ilzumo, Yatsushiro and many others. When, in the thirteenth *century of the Christian era, tea camo from China to Japan, the vessels for {nfus- ing and serving it came, tod. and taught the Japanese new ideas in| ceramics. From that time on. i though much more gradually than in China, the art developed. Most gen- | uine old Satsuma dates only from the early nineteenth century to about 1860, though an earlier ware, called Satsuma Tanen, from a famous art- ist, goes back to late seventeenth cen- tury. Satsuma is usually a reflflluh] brown or brown faience (potiery), decorated with gold and oolored en- amels. There are also black and a few green or yellow monochromes— one-color pieces. Cloisonne ware means vases, plaques or bowls, covered with vitri- filed pastes applied in what are called cloisons. On a base usually of very thin copper the pattern fs laid with strips of flat wire and filled in with enamel paste, which is then fused into place. Japan developed this process early in the nineteenth century, and has steadily improved it. until now this ware is justly famous. Banko is a light gray, unglazed clay, with hand-modeled decoration in relief. There are also chocolate or dove-colored grounds, with deli- cate squares in gold, brown or black falence, with yellow or pink designs cut in or in relief. The word banko means everlasting. ® I piggy, and proud, and to make a fool 1 know what it is to be! {1dly Everywhera that Merry went Her lambs were ‘sure to go.

Bistory of Pour Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. WOODROW VARIATIONS — Woodruff, Wood- rough. RACIAL ORIGIN — English, me- dieval. SOURCE—A title of office. Family names have come from a great many different sources. This is; one which originated from woo reeve, the title borne by those officials of feudal England who were charged | with the preservation of the forests and the game they contained for their | overlords. Their duties, apparently, consisted principally of seeing that nobody poached upor those preserves. They were, in short. forest constable As was more often the case than not in feudal times. the occupations and offices of the father descended to | the son. Hence this name, like others | denoting title of office or occupation, probably crystallized into common through several generations much earlier than did names denoting | whose son the individual was or de- scriptive of some peculiar personal characteristic. In this sense Woodrow may be con- sidered as belonzing in one of xhal oldest classifications of family names. Wood-ereve became vaciousic Wood- riff, Woodroafe, Woderous, Woodruft and Woodrow.

Several of my column readers have asked me to publish menus for lunch and dinner for a full week which contiain no meats. When meat is dropped frofm the menus, fish, cheese dishes, eggs in some form and baked beans are ex- cellent meat substitutes. In giving the following menus I assume that breakfasts consist of fruit, cereal of at dinner, however, tish may be served at breakfast in place of eggs. Sunday Noon Dinner—Baked fish with sauce, potatoes, peas, lemon meringue pie, coffee. Sunday Supper—Fruit salad, pea- nut butter sandwiches, cocoa, Jresh berries, cake. Monday Lunch—Hot cornmeal mush with milk and sugar, iced tea, small quick biscuits, cookies. Monday Dinner—Baked beans, po- tatoes, Stewed tomatoes, diced and sweetened oranges and bananas with custard sauce, coffee. Tuesday Lunch.—Yesterday's corn- meal mush fried and served with sirup, hot tea, jam or jel with bread. Tuesday Dinner—Spanish omelet (add leftovers from yesterday's to- matoes to the omelet), potatoes, string beans, taploca pudding, coffee. Wednesday Lunch—Vegetable salad, cocoa, cornmeal muflins, fresh berries. Wednesday Dinner—Baked maca- roni with cheese, potatoes, spinach, apple pie, coffee. | Thursday Lunch—Grapenuts dish (to make this, bake together for one hour one-half package of grapenuts, one quart of sweet milk and one- third cup sugar), coa, stewed prunes. Thursday Dinner—Small fried fish, potatoes, beets, apple betty with hard sauce, coffee, Friday Lunch—Fried fish (made with yesteday's leftovers balls of fish and potatoes), iced coffee, pre- serves, cookies. Friday Dinner—Egg souffle, pota- toes, lima beans, raisin tarts, coffee. Saturday Lunch—Baked corn dish (to make this, turn one can of corn into a baking dish and add one beaten egg and one pint sweet milk, bake one hour), tea, jam or jelly, with bread. Saturday Dinner—Baked rice with cheese, potatoes, beet greens or any other fresh vegetable, such as arti- chokes, brussels sprouts, swiss chard, etc, may be served instead; fruit gel- atin, dessert, coffee. In a household where dinner is served at noon instead of at night during the week the luncheon menus given above may simply be used for supper. The dinners may be made more hearty by the addition of salads and hot breads, but even as they stand they are nourishing meals. } BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES. { Shampooing Soaps. i The most important thing to re- member when shampooing the hair is that it should not be dried out too| much. The shampooing soap , should | contain a large proportion of oll.i should be pure and mild and prefer- ably should contain a little antiseptic. Castile soap is very good, because it is made from olive oil and contains more in the way of potash and alkall | than other soaps. Tar soap is also | very good, particularly for dark hair. Sulphur soap, which, unfortunatel does not smell pleasant, is excellent for all scalp troubles. Personally, I think the best sham- pooing soap is made by taking the plain unscented castile which comes in long, thick bars, slicing it fine and melting it in enough hot water to make a thin jelly. To this mixture you can add a certain amount of powdered flower of sulphur if you have a great deal of dandruff, or some olive oil ifivour hair is very dry, a very little horax or toilet water if | your hair is oily, and in either case a certain amount of any good anti- septic., I you use oil, three tablespoonfuls | to 4 half-pint bottl- are suthcien. 1f you use borax, one-half ounce is enough.
