Possible Revival of Spanish Mode BY MARY MARSHALL Almost every woman would like Be persuaded that if you follow her ancestry back, long enough »° through the right ramification of the network of her heredity, you would 1and somewhere in Spain. Sae L. to think that one of her forefathers fell victim to the dark-eyed charms of some Spanish senorita. Once you have been persuaded that there is even a drop of Spanish blood in your velns, you convince yourself that that small infusion has strongly marked your temperament. Even if you are as fair as Eve, fair-skinned and blue- eyed, you feel sometimes as if you, too, could flirt beneath the shade of a Spanish mantilla and could even tread out the steps of a Spanish dance to the music of your own cas- tanets. That, no doubt, accounts for the preposterous number of Spanish ladies that always appear at a costume dance. Good women like to assume the role of the naughty Carmen as much as peace-loving men delight in taking on the semblance of pirates. For several seasons there has been Just a suggestion of Spanish influence in the current fashion. Now at last Wwe may be approaching a more veri- table revival. We have worn the shawl to a great extent with a Span- ish feeling. For the Grand Prix ball held this month in Paris the costumes are to follow th of old Spain as shown in Velasques, etc. The predic at these present- day interpretations of this picturesque 0ld costumery will have definite effect on the development of the mode for the next few months, Meantime there is no abatement in the interest that is felt in Spanish shawls. Black lace or white lace shawls are used by some women for evening wraps, while enormous silk shawls, richly embroidered and edged with fringe in the Spanish manner, are everywhere seen among women who can afford them.

This isn't a talk for beckeepers particularly—they should be rather immune to urticaria. DBefore we dis- cuss the care of hives, however, let us mention a few of the causes be- #gides the list of foods we gave the other day. Several medicines enjoy the repu- tation of bringing on hives in sus- ceptible individuals, and among them quinin, choral, arseniec. leylie acid, senna, glycerin and the opium deriv- atives are the prominent offenders. In children the presence of worms in the intestinal tract sometimes seems to be responsible for hives, even though, as is usually the case, there are no other apparent effects produced by the parasites. Some physicians have ascribed outbreaks of hives to strong emo- tional feelings such as f shame or anger. This last emotion, it seems to me, logically comes after the hives rather than before. Capricious, that's what they are. Feminine drivers giving a signal al- ways remind me of hives in that Te- spect. ou can't tell what they're going to do till they've done it. So the best policy is aiting without watching. Still, they are interest- ing to watch, some of them—hives, I mean They vary in color from a beautiful pink to a waxy white. Household size hives are often pale at the center and pink around the edges, the edema being 80 Intense that it squeeges the b]ot?d from the central part. They vary in size from wheat kernels to whoppers as big as your hand, and occasionally one sees urticarial wheels a foot or more in diameter—giant hives. ~The angry looking swelling in gilant hives is often mistaken for inflammation, but comes and goes too suddenly for that. Glant hives are otherwise known as angioneurotic edema and sometimes as Quincke's disease, be- cause Quincke was one of the first to describe it. Dr. Bannister really described it here in America a few years before Quincke, but somehow we always like to have our new diseases imported from abroad. Often there Is a feverish condition with an outbreak of hives. and al- most alw. there is some malaise, but some victims just begin to break out and itch—and say damn. In children the stomach is likely to be upset with the onset of hives. In older persons there is commonly some digestive disturbance. First. then, ease off on the dlet. A brief fast. or a near fast for twenty- four hours, is generally advisable. Boiled riee and water, or bread and water, or just orange or apple or baked potato. makes a good diet for a day or two. Anyhow, take no meat, fowl, egg or fish. A bottle of solution of magnesium citrate makes an agreeable saline cathartic. Milk of magnesia may be a preferable laxative or cathartic if the stomach is very sour. The calcium lactate or caloium chlorid treatment, as for hay fever and asthma, proves valu- able in some cases of long drawn out hives. As Drs. Hollender and Novak have shown, it is generally small doses of um _treatment to insure the utilization of the caicium to supply the_ deficlency in the blood For the itching, calamin lotion with very weak carbolic Solution is generally satisfactory—zinc oxide and calamin, of each two drams; glycerin, one dram; lime water, three ounces; 5 per cent carbolic solution (1 to 20), one ounce. This solution should be dabbed on, not rubbed. (Copyright.)

The lovely color is faded to darkness, bleached to extinction. The daintiness and the life have fled from it, with the smell and the color and most of the flavor. Often it is served without a hint of beauty. The table is not set at- tractively; there are none of the flow- ers and the trimmings nature spreads among her feasts. We turn from it cheerless and uncaring. We are not hungry. “I don't want any lunch, mom. _Just give me a piece of bread and butter.” “But I have sou must eat your soup,” and a duil plate with chipped cdges full of greasy, gray liquid is pushed toward him. If we took a hint from nature's table and set about making the food attractive to the children they would eat it as eagerly as they eat cherries and apples and nuts. They want to cat pretty things. That's why they say that things are “pretty enough to_eat.’ ‘They mean it. Bread can be cut in such dainty slices that eating it seems like fun.

ASHURST. Wite of Senator Ashurst of Arizoma. Centuries ago the old crones and soothsayers of Ireland began chant- Ing the prophecy that has at last come to pass: “When carriages run without horses. Ireland shall be free” To all Irish patriots this dream of the ages is the great goal. There is no more enthusiastic Irish advocate in American official life than Mrs. Henry Ashurst of Arizona. Born in Kilkenny, Elizabeth Me- Evoy passed into her teens under Irish skies reared upon Irish tradi- tions and legends, and though she has lived in America since she was fif- teen, she has never lost her patriotic pridé and faith in the land of Erin. Mrs. Ashurst carries her love for all thtngs Irich even to her choice of foods, as she insists that her favorite dish is & real Irish stew. And Irish stew to be at its best should be made of the left-over of a rib roast of beef, for the cooked meat will give a better flavor than if the stew is made with fresh meat. Cut the meat’up In pieces and chop two large onfons and two or three large potatoes into diamond shapes (not ton small, about half of the thumb size’, and cook all together un- til potatoes are tender. Add half a teaspoon of chili powder and season to taste. (Copyright, 1924.) The Guide Post By Henry and Tertius Van Dyke _ Science and Religion. 1o, these are but outskirts of His ways, and how small a whisper do we hear Him.—Job, 26:14. There is no antagoniem between science and religion. They ard only two different ways of studying God. Religion proceeds within the spir- ftual experience of man, science with, in_the ascertained facts of nature. Both are indispensable. But frankly I must confess that the methods of the servants of science, at present, are superior to the methods of the servants of re- ligion. Here are half a dozen religious conferences, assemblies, conventions, and so on They content themselves with pass- ing vague arrogant resolutions about the outlawry of war, prohibition, cen- sorship of books and plays, without a single definite and practical sug- gestion. Here is a conference of doctors and surgeons who are seeking to exter- minate cancer. They look for the germ of the Dis- ease. They seek patiently and eagerly for an antidote. They are hopeful but not arrogant. ‘Wounld to God that His servants in religion could be as wise, practical and humble as His servants in science! When we seek to know His ways in creation and providence, is not every natural fact a sacred thing, a word from Him? When we try to do His will, shall we not listen and wait patiently for every whisper and hint that may help us_to serve Him more efficiently? Vague omniscience does not be- come churchmen. Humility and courage are better. BHistory of Bour Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. CASTLEMAN VARIATIONS—Casseiman, Casseimann. RACIAL ORIGIN—English and German, SOURCE—Occupation or title, also race. You run across the word from which this family name has been de- veloped niost often in the form “chatelain” although in some sec- tions the Anglo-Normans referred to the title as “castelan.” Castle-man is the Anglo-Saxon equivalent of the Norman and French title. The ‘“castelan” or ‘“chatelain,” un- der the feudal &ystem of the Nor- mane, was a personage of some im- portance, being the military com- mandant’ of the castle. He was, In fact, the commander of an army post. But It was quite natural that the lesser nobility, with their lesser hold- ings, followed the customs and no- menclature of the greater in the or- ganization of their smaller house- holds and military units, so the “‘cas- tle-man” was not always the apm- mander of a greaf castle, but often 'of some smalj fortified place or home- stead on the lands of one of the les- ser feudal lords. The fahily name, however, often comes from Germany, and for the most part, in this case, the bearers of the name trace their ancestry back to a residence at some time in Cas- sel. The double “n” in the form Cas- selmann reveals this variation as of German origin. Caramel Nut Pie. Put one pint of milk in _a double boiler and let come to a boil.

I never intend her to be controlled or made to obey or coerced into doing the things she doesn’t wish to do,” he said. “Ah," I replled, “so you are going to let life discipline her. cruel thing to do." “What do you mean?’ he asked. “When life disciplines us, it does it with an iron rod, and it leaves us crushed and broken on the scrap pile,” I answered. “In the end Mitter ex- perience teaches us the lessons that we should have learned at our parents’ knees, but our hard-won knowledge comes too late to do us any good. We can't go back and retrieve our lost opportunities or find again the happiness that we have thrown away. “It 1s a “you are not fatuous enough to believe that the \lly satin-padded for your child's feet, or that she is goIng to cscape the non human lot.

How is nhe to do this If you have not taught her self-control; if you have not taught her obedience to authority; if you have not.taught Rer to do the right thing, irrespective of her feelings, just because it Is her uty? “Surely,” T went on, world is going to be espec e e GJT if not the raw. untrained troops that win battles, my friend. It is the seasoned. disciplined soldiers who wrest victory out of defeat. It is not thewselfish men and women, the sports of their own desires and pas- sions, who make a success of life. It is the men and women who are the captauins of their souls who are masters of their fate. “But the point that 1 am trying to make to you is that we cannot escape discipline. We can’t have our own way all the time. We can't make our own rules. We can’'t do as we please. We have got to learn that sooner or later. Our parents must teach it to us gently while we are in the cradle, or else life teaches it to us with a bludgeon after we are grown up. “You can begin with as simpie a thing as the matter of health. If you won't teach your child to deny herself anything that appeals to her at the moment, life’ will. It will give her dyspepsia if she eats too much. It will turn her into u neurotic, nerve-wreckecd woman if she does not captrol her temper. It may even kill her if, for the sake of vanity, she goes out in thin satin slippers and gossamer stockings in sleet and snow. “In a short while your little girl will be a big girl, going to school with other girls, and her happiness will depend upon her popularity. If she has been encouraged in selfishness, and the belief that her will was law; if she takes the best of things for herself, and Is disregardful of the feelings of others, she will be ostracized. She will have no friends. She will be left out of all the good times. That i: the way that life will teach her un- selfishness, and that we have to give and take in the world. “Your girl will marry. Can you wish any greater curse on a man than a wife who has never learned to control herself? Can you imagine any woman making a success of marriage who does not bring unselfishness, and forbearance, and patience, and a high sense of duty to the task? “Even the happlest of marriages are disillusioning. Even the best of men are hard to get along with, and if you have not taught your girl to carry on in the face of difficulties; if you have not taught her how to give in gracefully, and to put an iron curb on her tongue and temper, her mar- riage is dead sure to go on the rocks and end in the divorce court. 6] IFE will teach her patience and forbearance, but it will be at the price of misery and tears, and a wrecked home, and little half-orphaned children. “Suppose your daughter goes Into business.

If she had the least suspicion of danger she didn’t show it. No, sir, she didn’t show it. She didn't look this way or that way, but kept her dull little eyes fixed straight ahead. Her two children kept close to her. It was disappointing and very pro- voking to Reddy Fox, to Old Man Coyote and Yawler the Bob Cat, who were hungrily watching. As long as they kept so close to their mother there would be no chance to catch one of those youngsters. Each of the watchers knew this. But each also knew that bables just starting out in BY THORNTON W. BURGESS stout, quill-covered tail with which Mrs. Porky defends herself. All unconscious of the disobe- dience of that little Porcupine, Mrs. Porky shuffied along. The youngster who had topped was mearest to Reddy Fox. Reddy quivered all over with cagermess. Yes, sir, he quivered all over. It was all he could do to keep from rushing out, pouncing on that helpless looking baby and make off with him. But he didn't do it. He didn’t dare do it. He could See Yow- ler the Bob Cat creeping forward swiftly, and he had no mind to feel Yowler's sharp claws. He fairly boiled inside with anger. You see, he felt that Yowler was going to steal a dinner from him from right under his nose. He knew that Old Man Coyote must have this same feeling, but that didn’t help any. Now it is Yowler's habit to pounce on those he catches. But he didn't do it this time. Perhaps it was because he knew that this slow moving youngster could not possibly get away from him. Perhaps it was be- causé he wasn't yet quite certain that this helpless looking baby was as harmless as he appeared to be. Any- way, Yowler bounded out in front of him within a paw's reach and crouched there. Instantly an astonishing thing hap- pened. That innocent looking baby thrust his nose under an old log he happened to be beside, and instantly a thousand little spears appeared from the hair of his coat and he be- gan to thrash his funny little tail from side to side. He did exactly what Prickly Porky or Mrs. Porky would have done in his place. At the sight of those little spears Yowler's eyes grew rounder with sur- prise and unbelief. Of course, those little spears were short and small. They didn't look very dangerous. Still Yowler hesitated. But there was no time to lose. Mrs. Porky was not so far away that he could afford to waste any time. Yowler reached out a paw and struck swiftly, but not very hard. A yowl of pained surprise and disappointment startled the Green Forest. Those little spears might be short and small, but they were as sharp as needles.

This very thing happened. One of those youngsters Stopped to examine something that was new to him.

Perhaps you may not know that these are obtained from vegetables— fiber bristles—as well as from the back of the porker. But here is where the lowly hog comes into his own, for the resilient, springy qual ity in the hog bristle cannot be du- plicated in any other material. The bristles are secured from all over the worle Russian bristles are the stiff- est and strongest. The colder the climate the longer and tougher the coat of the quadruped. Chinese hogs run a close second. United States bristles are mot tough, but for soft brushes are very satisfactory. The varying degrees of coarseness or fineness in a bristle determine whether it shall go through life as milady’s hat, suit, hair, nail or tooth brush. The end ‘of the bristle next to the animal's skin, called the “buff” end, is stiff and stubby and goes into hair brushes; that farthest away is soft and more flexible and is used mainly for paint brushes. Horse hair is used to a large extent in shoe brushes. The hair from the tail is etiffer and . therefore better. The mane hair is used for‘softer brushes. Badger and camel’s hair are also used where delicate work is involved. The way you judge the quality of bristles is to examine them for “life” or resiliency. A good bristle is tough and at the same time pliant and flexible. Here is the way you can tell the vegetable from the genuine animal bristlé: Push the bristles down into the center of the brush and let go suddenly. If the bristles spring up with a bound they are animal. ~The vegetable straighten more slowly. If a hog bristle s pulled sharply be- tween the fingers it will curl over, A LoNG, cooling drink MOTHER tute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Syrups, prepared for Infants in three minutes. but an imitation will drop or break off.
