Mah-Jong in High Chinese Fashion BY MARY MARSHALL They say that in China it is con- sidered as unwomanly for a woman not to wear trousers as it is indeli- cate for a man not to have a skirt under his coat. Moreover, a Chinese thinks nothing of stripning to the walst in warm weather, though he considers occidental evening dress for women unspeakably shocking. There is, then, nothing unwomanly or shocking, from the Chinese point 'f view, in the present-day occidental mah-jong suit. Its trousers are mple. cven thtough they do suggest ihe leg covering of a Cossack soldier rather more than the trousers of a Chinese woman. When it first occurred to American women 1o add interest to the game { mab-jong by dressing up to the oceasionthey wore authentic Chinese costumes. The picture was complete, hut the costume was not always be- oming; in fact, it is the very excep- tional 'American woman who can ar a Chinese costume and not look tinctly the worse for the cxperi- nt. But it didn’t really matter vhether the mah-jong costume was ruthentic any more than it mattered ‘hether the players played the game cxactly as it had been played for cen- tur in China. Now, about all that seems to mat- or in the designing of these costumes s that the effect should be what woman call “Chinesey.” But don't agine that just because we depart rom the authentic Chinese traditions n the making of mah-jong suits they are crude or naive. Some of ‘he most able designers here and in l’aris have taken a fling at the cre- ition of this particular sort of cos- ‘ume and the results have been harming. The sketch shows a con- ‘ribution by Patou of Paris. The acket is of white satin embroidered n black and is worn over black satin trousers, the only color being a vivid zreen belt. One might wait a lifetime, how- cver, before the opportunity arrived > participate in a_mah-jong party dressed in one of these smart mah- Jong suits. The that most of us dare do is ar a bit of *hinese—or near-Chinese—jewelry or « frock embellished with some sort of Chinese embroidery. (Copyright, 1924.) £\ MAH-JONG SUIT DESIGNED BY ATOU.

Calcium Deficiency. ‘The chemist can make a pretty ac- curate determination of the amount of calcium (lime) in a specimen of blocd, and it has been found that there is a calcium deficiency in sev- eral conditions which have not here- tofore been clearly understood. H: fever, hyperesthetic rhinit nd asth- ma are among these conditions. Per- haps the fault of calcium metabolism, or at least some peculiar state in which there is a fault of calcium utilization in the body. responsible for the peculiar susceptibility of cer- tain individuals to these disease con- ditions. It is generally assumed by experts on nutrition that many city dwellers today suffer from an actual calcium deprivation, owing to the lack of an adequate amount of calcium (lime) in the foods which go to make up the dietary of the average urban family. A more liberal use of fresh milk and of all kinds of cheese—foods very rich in calcium—would probably overcome the deprivation, but the refined ce- reals, white flour, white sugar, pota- toes without the skins, meats, which constitute the main food supply of city dwellers, have all been robbed of their calcium in preparation for consumption. The greens, the leafy vegetables and relishes, particularly cabbage and lettuce, are rich in cal- cium. It does not follow that because the diet is poor in calcium one need only add calcium, either in the form of food or in the form of medicine, in order to overcome conditions which are associated with a calcium de- ficiency in the blood. There are more things in metabolism than most of us have ever dreamed of. Dr. Abraham R. Hollender and Dr. ¥rank J. Novak find that the admin- istration of calcium lactate or cal- Bistory of our Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN, RANDOLPH VARIATIONS—Randal, Randall, dulph, Randolf. RACIAL ORIGIN—Teutonic.

These family hames are all dertved from the ancient Teutonic given name of Randulph, which was widespread among the Anglo-Saxons as well as in other scctions of ancient Teutonic tmrope. It was also a name popular among the Normans at the time of their wnquest of England, for though the Normans spoke a FKrench which was a development of Latin, Celtic and ‘Teutonic, they were themselves Teu- \ons, like the Franks and the Goths of earlier centuries, and their nomen- clature changed less under the influ- cnce of Latin than their language. The syllable “ran” in the given name mean “fair’ and “ulph’ meant “help” or_ “aid.” Indeed, this ancient Teu- toni¢_word is the parent of our mod ern English “help.”” The ge isn't radical, really.

Advises Her to Live Her Own Life. |DorothyDix| When Mother Goes to Live With Her Married Children, She Knows That She’s Unwanted, That She Must Watch Her Step. CUH-!OL‘SLY enough, when we discuss the mother-in-law problem we do so almost entirely from the standpoint of the children. Whether it is the humorist's ancient gibe at the mother-in-law or the Legal Aid Society's tragic asgertion that mothers-in-law are responsible for more than half of the divorces, it is always the mother-in-law who is held up as the figure of fun, or the trouble-maker. When we hedr that a bridal couple is going to have mother live with them we pity them and feel that fate isn't giving them a square deal They are not having a fair chance at adjusting themselves to each other and making their marriage a success. his is true enough. A can of TNT under the doorstep is no more of a enz:e %o the solldarity of the newly established home than is the presence in it of elther the wife's mother or the husband's mother. Left to them- selves, most younsg couples would work out their own salvation; but with a third party present who is bitterly partisan, they are mighty apt to go on the rocks. Furthermore, whether mother is a pacifist or a fighter, whether she s first-aid to divorce or a cooing dove of peace, she is still a disturbing infitence, for the presence of any outsider breaks up the intimacy of the home and is & bar to the perfect companionship between a husband and wife. No man wishes to discuss before his wife’s mother his business affairs or tell his wife the hundred little foolish things that he bas done. =No woman wants to pet and baby her husband or tell him of some silly little extravagance of which she has been guilty while his mothers coldly critical eye is upon her. So they save their confidences and their display of tenderness until they can be alone, and the mood passes and they miss the experiences that would weld them' into on 7E may well pity the young married persons who have a mother-in-law W lahed on them s & bridar mift, but we may alto extend our cordial sympathy to.the mother-in-law herself. If we have tears to shed, she is the one who is entitled to be wept over, for hers is the hard end of the bargain. i She knows herself to be unwanted, and that, no matter how cordially the invitation was given her to make her home ‘with her children, it was duty and not inclination that prompted it, and that they would far rather be alone than have her with them. : She knows that even the most easy-going son-in-law regards his mother-in-law as a duty guest, and that the most amiable of daughters-in- law feels that having to live with her husband’s mother is'a penance that entitles her to a martyr's crown. And even a woman's own children do not want her in the house, no matter how dearly they love her, if she gets on the nerves of Tom and Sally, or can’t get along with John or Jennie. Being unwanted is misery number one for mother-in-law. Misery number two is having to walk on edge. which is no easy performance for a fat, middle-aged womar, who has been accustomed to stalking roughshod through life. No woman can be married, and keep house for thirty years, and rear a family without getting autocratic and bossy, and acquiring “ways.” Nor is it possible for any mother ever to feel that her own child is grown up and has a right to run his own affairs in his own way. Still less can any expert watch a bungling amateur make a mess of things without yearning to put a finger in the pie and straighten things out. But no mother-in-law dares offer a word of advice to son-in-law, no matter how foolish a move he is about to make: nor has she the temerity to show a poor, little, inefficient daughter-in-law how to stop the leak in the household budget and make bread that isn't a menace to lifc. The agony that mothers-in-law endure while they chew off their tongues to keep from saying the things that they feel like saying to their in-laws must surely be accounted unto them for rightcousnes: M ISERY number three is that when mother goes to live with her children -Vl she loses her identity. She becomes nothing but an “in-law,” with none so poor as to do- her revercnce. While she lived at home had loved and enjosed | strange place to live, she knows no one are mueh yvounger than she is. and is only some kind soul who wishes to be n anything more galling to a middle-ag she her own pl. in ¥. h Now. especially if she goe: but her ughter's friend invited out upon compulsion by | o an old ludy.

Takmg all of th miseries that the mother-in-law must suffer into consideration, I wonder that so many women arc foolish enough. to bring disaster upon themselves by giving up thelr own homes and becoming supernumeraries in their children’s homes. ‘and why fo few have the courage to cling to their own freedom, their ow] L es i ety, live their individual lives.

And he meant to rob as many nests as he could without be- ing discovered. Now, the nearest nest to the old stonewall was that of Goldenwing the Flicker. To Chatterers way of thinking, that was the choicest of all the nests, because the eggs in it were sure to be the largest. You may be sure he kept a very sharp watch of that Flicker home. Hidden between the stones in the old stonewall, he could watch all that went on. So it was that he found out when Mrs. Flicker was through laying eggs. Heo knew she was through because she had begun sitting on them. Then he kept a closer watch than ever. He knew that she had to go_ hunt for food every day, and he found out about what time she usually left the nest. She was always gone long enough to give him plenty of time to get those eggs and get back to his hiding place in the old stonewall So at last Chatterer decided that early the next morning he would get HE HAD TAKEN CARE NOT TO GO NEAR ONE OF THOSE NESTS. those eggs.

The Daylight Lamp. “Come in and let me show you my inngvation,” called Phoebe, my host- tas preity daughter, as I passed her door on my way downstairs in the course of a week end visit. She was sitting before her dressing table, carefully applying powder and a bit of delicate color to her fresh, young complexion, and, although it was a gray day and the room was none too light, T noticed that a flood of bright daylight shone down upon her as if from u window. “It's my blue daylight lamp,” she explained, pointing to a large bulb over her head, the glass of which was a rich sapphire blue, quite chim- ing in with the blue and silver color scheme of her boudoir. “The other day,” she went on, “I had dressed in here, on a dark da lke this, with my’ vellow electr light turned on. and had put on my ! ‘make-up' under its light.

HARLAND H. ALLEN. The Wedding Present. Along in June-time, when so many girls are becoming “happy recipients” of all sorts of wedding presents, some of the presents beautiful, scme of them useful, but, inevitably, some of them neither—it's too late then to reproach oneself for an unsuitable purchase. For nowhere more than in the wed- ding gift is money, spent without forethought, usually’ at least partly wasted. Silver, for Instance, is sup- posed to be something every self-r specting bride should want. But the trouble is that everyone agrees so perfectly on that point that the bride is usually deluged with it. So, unless you happen to know that silver will not be forthcoming elsewhere, it is best to avoid the obvious, and give something a bit less likely to be du- plicated. “Bric-a-brac” comes second to sil- ver on the list of “what not to give"” in most cases. It is never utilitarian, and often is not even esthetic. Beautiful cut glass is usually ac- ceptable, if the bride is likely to do a considerable amount of formal enter- taining: but it, too, is ordinarily given indiscriminately, and is consequently overdone. Add next to your list of “what not to gives” all hand-painted articles— especially pictures—of your own handiwork, unless you are a profe sional art Put In the same clas needlework from your own hands, un- less you are an expert at it. 'And then you are ready to consider what you can give. In the first place, there are all the electrical things, which are not only among the most useful presents one would want, but are extremely “bri al” in their shining lovelin There are the toaster, the percolator, the little “table stove.” The electric fan and the ciectric heating pad are a appropriate in some cases. And if or is a member of the bride’s family. one of her intimate friends, it is not always out of keeping to give even such a work-a-day thing as an elec tric iron, sewing machine or washing Always machine—if you happen to know the bride wants them. Then there are the well pictures and books, fine linen and small pieces of pottery, all good enough for the finest homes, and not 00 good for the modest ones. “But what about giving furniture? asks dad. The answer is “Sometimes, but not always." = Circumstances aiter cases. But it is a foregone conclusion that a couple setting up housckeep- ing in a 2x4 apartment will not be “happy recipients” of a huge daven- port that has to be holsted up with & derrick; whereas, if even limited to one room, they could still appreciate a few small pieces, screens that fold, tilt-top tables, tiny tea-tables with drop leaves, a console sewing ma chine, small rugs, sewing stand, end tables, a bookcase or a des selected Eggs With Asparagus.
