WOM AN’S PAGE. When Mannish Clothes Are Worn BY MARY The woman who affects mannish elothes for daytime or sport wear ought to follow these very new edits concerning men’s attire. For sport wear the stockings or socks should match the sweater, while the trousers—or skirt—should be in more or less contrast. Very vivid sweaters are not so FRENCH ct BLUE FLAN ON MANNISH I MARSHALL. necktie to give the big, big splash of color. And of course she will wear the new bow ties of soft silk which the smart young males of England have affected so much this Summer. And what about extending the en semble idea to your gentlemanly night attire? They say—and of course one takes such matters on hearsay—that some of the Beau Brummels of Lon- don are wearing pajamas of gay colored and splendidly designed foulard with dressing gowns or bath robes to match. And that makes an en- semble, does it not? Of course, if you prefer, you may have your pajama ensemble made of taffeta silk, or even of fine flannel, which will be com- fortable when cold Autumn winds do blow. From the same reliable source comes the Information that the young blades of London Town are going to wear brightly striped hat bands on light-toned felt hats for the Autumn. They call them college or university stripes, don’t they? ~And they have been wearing them here as well as there on Summer hats of straw. It will be something of a novelty to see them around the crown of felt hats. Miss Eve, who follows the fashion of Mr. Adam, ought to do the same. (Copyright. 1925.) MENU FOR A DAY.

After supper the door was shut and everything was made snug, for the nights were getting cold and misty. The little house seemed to David the most deliclous place in which he had ever been. To hear the wind roaring out at sea, to know the fog was creep- ing all about and to sit snug and warm before the fire in this house, | which really wasn't a house at all, |seemed like enchantment itself to David Little Em'ly was very shy at first, but now she came and sat by David's side. Mr. Peggotty told them stories of the sea. Ham brought out some old cards, smelling of fish, and told their fortuntes with them. David would have liked to remain in that pleasant atmosphere forever. He felt sure that nothing could be nicer. Color Mr. Peggotty's coat and hat gray. (Copyright. 1925.) What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Leo. | Tomorrow’s planetary veal adverse and unfavoral tions lasting until noon they assume an entirely re le condi- aspects Good Leather. To know good quality in leather is not so simple a matter as it used to be. The extraordinary demands for leather goods in recent years have not only brought into the market many different grades of the various kinds of leather, but have stimulated the manufacture of much imitation Jleather, and even that is now pro- duced in numerous qualities. And then the improved methods of graining, embossing, fluMng and en- ameling have brought a great variety of finishes for each different quality of leather, which complicates the matter still more. The old-time tanner used to slit a plece of leather and judge its quality by the texture. It is still the surest The inferior skin is spongy and loose-textured. Good quality is fine- grained and firm and uniform in thickness and color. You judge if.the tanning has been well done by looking for any evi- dence of uncured or living tissue. Hard or horny spots {n leather also indicate poor tanning or currying. Any of these faults in a piece of leather WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. D. O, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1925. means an inferior grade and poor wearing quality. All high-grade leather is more or less elastic. This capacity to stretch is characteristic, and adds very much to the wearing life of leather, When properly cared for, it retains this quality almost indefinitely. There is also a peculiar softness and flexibility to good leather which none of the imitations have been able to equal. And the cheap grades of real leather are stiffer and harsh, Another test for good leather 15 by water. A good grade that has been well tanned and dressed with oils is almost {mpervious to molsture. Drop a little water on the hair or grained side of the skin you want to judge, If it soaks in readily the tanning is im- perfect and the article will probably not give satisfaction, especially it it is to be exposed to the weather or hard wear in any way. A knowledge of color helps s Judging leather. It is dyed r in almost every tint. the color, it should be deep. rich trous, and uniform throughout.

An English physician, Richard Bright, first noticed, about 100 years | ago, certain patients in Guy's Hos pital with edema (dropsy), enlarge- ment of the heart and other sign including the presence of protein in the wurine, and he discovered the kidneys. The kidney lesions wer not always the same, but the general condition came to be known as Bright's disease. Microscopic meth- ods were not yet available in Bright's day. The adoption of microscopical diagnosis in our day has enabled us to distinguish three types or forms of Bright's disease. These three forms of Bright's disease are practi- cally three distinct diseases, as has been pointed out by Dr. Thomas Addis, a California internist, who has learned that the finding of casts in the microscopic examination upon the reaction and the degree of dilution of the urine—that is, the casts may dissolve and disappear when the urine becomes alkaline or when it is very dilute, though the: are more constantly found in Bright's disease when the urine is normally acid and concentrated. This observation would seem to ac count for a good deal of the varia bility in this particular finding, 1 such examinations. Addis 1 down careful rules for the procurin of the specimen, giving written in structions to the patient. The pa- tient is asked to take his ordinary breakfast, including coffee, tea milk if he wishes, but thereafter all fluids must be abstained from for the rest of the day and the night until the specimen has been obtained the following morning. The diet is mot restricted in other respects, except that the patient is asked to take no more fruit than customa though thirsty.

SUB ROSA BY MIML Mother’s Nagging. “Mother nagé at me so0,” Grace com- plained one day. ‘I wouldn’t mind doing things it mother wasn't so per- sistently at me -about them. She honestly doesn’t give me a second’s peace, and I'm peevish and irritable all the time.” Tt sounded dreadful to me. How often had I heard stories like this of a fretful, nervous woman who made her children’'s lives miserable with her constant sharp nagging. However, knowing Grace as well as 1 did, I realized that there might be a good bit of exaggeration in her story. On my next visit to her home watched Grace's mother very care- fully for any signs of fretful nagging. Mrs. Harcourt was a rather tired- looking woman, with the air of one who bears too many of life’s burdens on her shoulders As Grace ros to get the tea things, her mother exclaimed: “Oh, Grace, you forgot to get your new dress from the cleaners. I've been remind.| ou of that every day this week. what will you do if somebody tonight?” Grace flashed, im- h of hear- When don't Oh, patient ing about that darn old dre: I have time to get it, I wi keep reminding about it.” Mrs. Harcourt subsided with an apologetic look at me for her daugh- mot HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Crusty.” It ever there was afword whic seemed so unmitigatedly: and irrepar- | ably slang that it would never be used | in poiite speech and would need a gun |and a crowbar to get into the diction- ary, it is this word “crusty” significance of unpleasant or disagree- able manner, sometimes of an impos- |ing®or “nervy” disposition. ~Yet such are the ways of words—we find it fully accredited in Webster's.
