WOMA Capes Give the Required Variety BY MARY MARSHALL. Capes! Why we thought capes were quite done for!” is the comment, ually or substantially, of many women when the suggestion is made by the dressmaker that an ideal wrap for a new frock would be in the form of & cape.

Peter knew without being told that in his imagina- tion. Digger was seeing his old home | than one ghown in the sketch. Of more substntial build is the kasha coat of navy blue, also shown in the sketch, with a very gallant cape hanging straight down the back from the col lar, hanging in fact somewhat longer the coat itself. Sometimes a cape is found in com- pany with the two pleces of a tailored suit. A smart suit of white cheviot, made with short double-breasted jacket with conventional notched collar, has to go with it a cape of white cheviot with a collar of leopard skin. There are quite military looking suits with straight tailored jackets with short circular capes that can be fastened securely at the collar line—or left off altogether. Tt is just a matter of pressing a few well placed snappers. A really very clever sort of costume consists of knitted skirt jumper blouse and cape. These capes are fairly long, but lack a few inches of being as long as_the short skirt. Kasha and crepe de chine are clever- ly combined in one of the capes made for Summer. The cape forms an ir- regular hem line with deep slashes for the arms and thus shows the lining of crepe de chine. The cape itself is of almond green while the crepe de chine is of the same color. A sort of gilet with collar that stands up in medico fashion with a ruffle drooping to the shoulder is of the crepe de chine. (Copyright. 1025.) MENU FOR A DAY.

I suppose he does get one occasionally, but for the most part he lives on grasshop- pers and crickets, with some mice and ground squirrels,” said Digger. “As a matter of fact the Prairie Dogs are not much afraid of him.

Usuaily much larger in size, it i{s familiar to visitors to the bridge deck of a ship as hang- balancing rings lled “gimbals” which prevent the stion of the ship from greatly in- fluencing its a “Chronometer” chronos,” meaning tron,” measure. It is in the derivi- ation of the first half of the word we find the romance in its story. For the chronometer owes the origin of its name to a character in Greek mythology. He was Chronos, first and chief deity of the ancients, and the zod of time. Hence the perpetuation f his name in a modern timepiece! (Coyright. 1925.)

Cancer. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are much more encouraging than those of today and the signs denote that the conditions are very favorable for all conservative enterprises, and especially so for literary and artistic efforts. "There will be encountered a clarity of vision, together with a de- termination to hustle, that, if taken advantage of, will spell achievement. The {ndications point to the fact that efforts made on individual initiative will be more productive of success than those in which a community of interests has a part. Stimulating vibrations in the evening presage an atmosphere of felicity and harmony. Whereas & boy born tomorrow will be subject to more or less serlous sickness during its infantile stage, & girl will _experience nothing _but normal physical conditions. will both, however, with proper care and environment, attain a healthy maturity. In character and disposi tion they will be, in their childhood, permanent rays of sunshine, as their winning, sweet ways will be more than usually attractive. As they de- velop irito mankood and womanhood they will, still preserving the char: teristics that distinguished them in their youth, radiate happiness and contentment. They will both be very partial to outdoor sports and recrea tions and more attentive to these than to study. This does not mean that they will be lazy or negligent. On the contrary, they are destined to be successes—both morally and materially. If tomorrow is your birthday, your garrulousness s your besetting weak- ness, and your inability to keep any- thing to yourself renders you an unfit recipient for the confidences of your friends. You are very intense, take vourself altogether too seriously and are very susceptible to flattery—so much go, in fact, that as a conse. quence you often are the victim of schemers.

A year or two ago, a reader re minds us, we promised to tell how a mere layman might diagnose his own health. 2 Right, and a week ‘or two later we told how the trick is done. Of course, a mere layman's diag nosis of anything is about as sound as is my knowledge of how to fill a root canal or take up a cam shaft bearing. At that, though, a layman can make a fairly good tentative analysis of his own heaith. A tenta- tive diagnosis is like a mail order suit; you are not bound to keep it if it does not fit and give entire satis faction. Indeed, the layman client contributes considerable to the diag: nosis in the modern periodic health examination: in some of the forms or exxamination blanks which have been suggested by physicians who devote special attention to the practice of hygiene the layman apparently con tributes more than the hygienist him. self to the diagnosis, but perhaps that is because the hygienist who devises the form of examination has not had sufficient experience in the practice of health. Here is one test of health which anybody up to the age of 50 vears may try on himself: Run a mile. It you cannot run a mile, at your own pace, you are certainly not well—you had better consult a physiclan and let him find out what ails you, Here is another test which any. body of any age may try on him selt: Hold your breath on the one hand and your watch on the other. If you cannot hold the former 40 sec onds you had better consult a good doctor. Suppose an individual has a “leak age” of the heart, valvular disease, which has developed insidiously or at least without his knowledge that any heart lesion is responsible for his falling off in physical or mental ef- ficlency. If the backflow or leakage through the damaged valve is not compensated by the necessary devel- opment of heart muscle, such an indi vidual will be unable to hold breath as long as 40 seconds—he k'* and grab in more air at per- 5 or 30 seconds or even less valvular leakage is omper * by the necessary overdevelop ment of the heart muscle (so that enough blood is pumped to satisfy the requirements in spite of the amount which leaks back through the valve at every beat). why, the luck lad can hold his breath long as any of us, and his health is O. K notwithstanding the valvular impair ment. There are some individuals who can easily hold their breath a full minute without any tricks They are not c lends HOES to PER- FECT vacation— by keeping feet fresh and vigorous and com- fortable thru ever smart 5\)171m8' activ- ity! And “enchant- ment,” too, in their zest, originality, chic smartness! necessarily healthier than the rest us by reason of that There are some health is gravely impatred suffering with sericus disease, yet can hold their breath 40 seconds. That would seem to spoil the test as a measure of health. But I told you at the outset that the layman can make only a tentative diagnosis of his own health: he needs the co operation of the expert if he wishes have his diagnosis confirmed. A ead man, for instance, might hold his breath for hours or days on end without effort If you consider much alive but place to rt i is a test which is almost as good far as the efficiency of vour circ: lation may be concerned: Ru two flights of stairs, step, and notice when you attain the heart ~is effi 0 thump, thump against j the acceleration induced b passes and the heart rate down to the ordinary rate.
