WOMAN’S PAG E Leopard Fur on Wide-Brim Hats BY MARY There are some women who have an nnate fondness for leopard skin. ‘Whether it happens to be in fashion or not, they hanker after it. Who knows but this is indicative of some- thing of the wild feline quality in their natures? Perhaps our natural Yikes and dislikes. in furs might be taken to indicate something ip our temperament. The woman who likes squirrel may by nature thrifty, energetic and tive. There may be something i and doclle about women who caracal or any of the lamb peltries. It really is a wonder that some one hagn't come along with a tem of character reading based on ural predilections in furs. It would 2 quite as sensible as some of the other systems of character analysis. There are still, no doubt, many who are wearing leopard skin they have a predilection for there are, no doubt, who are ring it because it has suddenly ne into fashion. They would never thought of it if, somehow or I'aris furriers, milliners and dressmakers had not put it over this winter. Now it becomes evident that it is quite suitable for spring, since it is the peltry of a tropical animal and is not very thick, One of the furriers is showing pan- ther coats—but the distinction be- tween panther and the leopard is too #ubtle to register with the average woman. Wht is the difference, any- ?

BEDTIME STORIES The Rights of Feathered Folk The right to liva belongs to all— The great and strong, the weak and small. —Mrs. Quack. “These two-legged creatures called men are queer,” sald Mrs. Quack. “Most of them are,” agreed Peter Rabbit, “All of them are” declared Mr, Quack. “They seem to think that no one has any rights but themselves." “I guess you don’t know Farmer Brown’s Boy.” said Peter. “He never forgets the rights of the rest of us.” “Then he's very different from the rest of theso two-legged creatures,” declared Mrs. Quack in a very decided tone. “First, they try te kill us with dreadful guns. Not satisfied with that,they destroy our food suppily, and do not seem to caro how many of us die. feathered folk have some rights. Yes, sir, we have some rights. We have the right to live at least If we didn't, Mother Nature would ne have put us into the Great World. But a lot of these two-legged creatures seem to think we haven't any rights at all. B “If they go on draining the marshes and lakes and swamps at the rate they have been doing it the time is coming, and coming soon, when there *I GUESS Y¢ KNOW FARM- SAID PETER. will be no water birds left. If we Ducks could stay up in the Far North where we spend our summers it would be all_right. But wae can't stay there. We have to spend the winters where there is no fce, for where there is ice we cannot get food. We have to do it. It isn't because we want to do if, but because we must do it. And now these two- legged creatures are taking away our feeding grounds by taking away all the water. “And we Ducks and other water birds are not the only ones who are suffering. When Red Wing the Blackbird gets here ssk him what kind of a winter he spent. He'll tell you the same thing. Ask Welcome Robin. The grasses and rushes that used to grow in our winter home in the Sunny South gave shelter to many of the foathered people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows and the Old Orchard all through the winter months. This last winter they had to find other shelter, and it wasn't easy. And always there is the foar that when a place has been found it will be taken away from them. “It would be different if man really needed these places. But man doesn't. I know. Mr. Quack and I fly over great stretches of land which man might use and isn’t using, and which is of no use to us feathered folk. He doesn’t need those marshes and awamps and the land under the water of those ponds and lakes. He doesn't noed those places at all, and we do. They are ours rightfully. Old Mother Nature gave them to us. I thought that when hunters stopped shooting at us on our way north in the spring things were going to be better for ws. But the taking away of our win- ter homes is many times worse than the shooting in the spring. “I have heard that the samo thing 1s happening in some nortirern places, especially in .the west, where water birds have made their summer homes and nested since the beginning of things. Down there in the sunny south I heard dreadful stories of lakes an§ marshes where always thousands and thousands of birds have made their homes, which these two-legged creatures have drained, so that not a nesting place is left. And now that the water, which the birds needed; has been taken away, there is left just great masses of land on which noth- ing will grow. It serves the sslfsk The red | Still an- | MARSHALL. s NATURAL BANGKOK STRAW HAT WITH LEOPARD SKIN DRAPERY. spring and summer hat that leopard skin assumes most interest. If you happen to have a leopard skin hang- ing around your house and don't know anything better to do with it, then by all means take it to your | milliner’ with instructions to_drape strips of it around a wide, droopy hat. The sketch shows this sort of trim- ming on a natural bangkok shape. One of the clever milliners is using diamond and clover and triangle shapes of leopard as trimming on leg- horn hats.

You {have a constant *irritation and a con- | stant pressure on the blood vessels sup- plying the nose. Anything that stimulates the circu- {lation of the blood reduces redness of the nose. Therefore exercise and loose clothing are to be recommended. Any- thing which stimulates the circulation ", such as massage, also helps | s you state that you need to reduce the bust and the hips, possi- |bly you are too stout all over, and a |general reduction through the diet would be best for you. An exercise for the hips is to lie flat on floor, place arms high up over head and then roll to right and then to left as many times each way as pos- sible without getting dizzy. For the bust, place hands on hips and turn back the elbows as far as you can, while all the time you stretch the muscles of the chest and bust. Bring elbows forward and backward with- f;ul changing position of hands on hips. BY THORNTON ‘W.

Health Hints By Bernarr Macfadden. u. If any one of the epinal vertebrae is displaced In the slightest degres it very often presses upen the spinal cord or impinges either the motor or sensory nerve which emerges from the spinal cord at that point, and as a jresult some part of the body is af- fected by this pressure. Paralysis. for instance, can be easily caused by pressure of this kind. Even where the complaint is not of such a serious nature, a comparatively slight amount, of pressuge affecting one or more erves is liable to lessen their effi- ency and thus cause partial paral- s, ‘and so prevent the particular nected from working properly Straightening the spine will there- fore, as you can readily realize, rem- serious defects of this nature. 1In fact, this is the theory upon which osteopaths largely procesd. They main- tain that a properly formed spine ls absolutely necessary to the enjoy- ment of the highest degree of health, and that if any of vour organs is not properly performing its functions, the cause can, in practically every case, be located in the spine. When one or more of the vertebrae are misplaced or pressing upon the nerves within the spinal column they are lessening the efficiency of the particular parts controlled by these nerves. Now in moving the body tn any di- rection there is a certain amount of | movement of the spinal column. | Whenever you move in any direction | the spinal "column bends in accord- | ance with the posture of the body. It is this bending back and forth and from side to side that gives this par- ticular part of the body the necessary use required to keep it in a satisfac- tory degree of health. The spinal.col- umn is bound together with tendinous tissues. Over and surrounding this are the muscles that help to hold i3 in place. The bending of the pine in various directions strengthens not only the ligaments and tendons, but the muscles. The proper use of any part of the body adds to its general vigor, and if any of the vertebrae should be misplaced the vigorous use of the | muscies around the spinal column, |the strengthening of the lgaments | and muscles, finally forces the mis- ! placed vertebrae into proper position.

DEAR MISS DIX: Is it necessary for the modern girl to follow literally the older ideas of propriety with regard to familiarities with men? I am speaking now not of engaged couples, but of young folks who like each other and are following the instinct to pair off. Some hold that it Is all right for them to indulge in innocent and triendly caresses to express thelr mutual liking, but that they should be carefully instructed, In view of thoughtless self-indulgence on one side and, too often, the abysmal igrorance on the other, 50 that they may know just what constitutes any impropriety, or approach to vulgarity, and how to distinguish and avoid anything that tends that way. Personally, I don't like either a prude or an fceberg, but I do like ;ll(-m;rnry. and I feel that any physical familiarity with men tends to_rub off a girl. . B R Answer: Our {deas of propriety have changed so much that it would be virtually impossible for fhe girl of today to follow her mother's code. If a girl thirty years ago had gppeared in public in skirts up to her knees and a bodice that was cut V i¥ front and C in the back the police would have taken charge of her, but such g costume is sartorially correct nowadays. Als ung men and women discuss with perfect freedom, and without a blush, topics that in former times were never mentioned in mixed society, even by the most daring cld men and women. Other times, other manners, other standards of propriety. But we have the same old bodies the same old human nature, and it seems to me that familiarities between the sexes have the same cangers now that they have always had. So close an observer, however, a8 the novelist William Locke believes that familiarity has bred contempt, and that just because kisses between the sexes are as common as handshakes used to be, they mean no more and raise no more thrill, . Personally 1 cannot accept this theory, because if caresses and kisses were not forbidden fruit, and did not carry their own danger, no girl would need a chaperone. Brothers and sisters never have to be restrained from kissing each other. It is only the kiss with a punch that has takers. Furthermore, 1 have observed that no man's advocacy of familiarities between the sexes extends to his own womankind. He feels that girls should | be just as affectionute as he likes with him, but he doesn’t want his sisters pawed over by other men. nor does he relish the thought that the woman he is going to marry h to every man who came along. You cannot hand. bruising it and brushing off the You cannot touch a lily without soiling it. No more can a maiden | P! permit the famillaritics of men without losing her delicacy and the very fineness of her innocence and purity. DOROTHY DIX. « o o [DPAR MISS DIX: The average man of today demands that the girl should hold his attention. and if she fails he will go on to the next one. In other times was it not the men who lived in constant fear of displeasing the girl? But now, the least little imperfection, the smallest thing that dis- pleases men, and they are GONE. Is there nothing we can do about it? Must we spend all our lives {trying to please tho men and hold their attention? M. D. P P Answer: The husband market, my dear, like &ll other markets, is governed by the law of supply and demand. Just at present, owing to the number of young men who were killed in the war, the amount of available | matrimonial timber is far below the demand, and this enables men to put !a fancy price upon themselves. i They know they have only to pick and chqose, and this renders them finicky and capricious. Therefore, the girl has to do all the running and | make all the efforts to please or else they ride away to the next girl who is willing to pay the price of their attentions. It {s merely a matter of there being more girls than bovs which has given the boys the upper hand. In other times when there were more men than women, the balance of power was with the women, and men had to do the courting instead of being | courted, as they are now. 'Then & man felt that a_woman was doing him an honor to accept his attentions, but now he feels that she should be Frate. | ful for life If he condescends to take her anywhere. But in marriage, my dear, women have always had to please their husbands, and they always will have to please them if they hold them, because marriage means more to a woman than it does to a man, and her happiness depends on her husband more than his does on his wife. It is women who always have to do the adapting of themsel to theif husbands. It is always women who have to use tact and finesse to get alon Perhaps th DOROTHY DIX. ]DEAR MISS DIX—T am a voung high school junior in love with a class- mate.
