WOMAN'’S PAGE. " Results of Eating Between Meals BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Some people require food in smaller quantity and with greater frequency than others. This is apt to be the case Wwith children and invalids, although there are many others that have sys- tems which need more frequent nour- ishment than the usual three meals a ¢ | NG MEAL MAY RACKERS AND| AD gay. To them, eating between meals €hould become such a regular thing A mother whose young daughter was not in the best of health consulted a doctor. The doctor told her there. was no cause for alarm, but that the child’s stomach required food in some- what different proportions and at dif- ferent times than others. In order to fill the need it was decided to try the mid-morning meal. Although the child was in school, it was not hard to se- cure permission for this little snack. Crackers and milk went with her to school in a little package that was opened at about 10:30 o'clock. Im- provement was soon noticed in the lit- tle girl's health, and so well did the plan agree with her that it was kept up for some time beyond that actu- ally prescribed. ‘Wisdom in Choice. The mid-morniing or mid-afternoon meal should be confined to certain foods that are known to be good eaten at such times. Other foods should be definitely barred, and among them all the heavy foods, such as meats or rich sweets. There are foods which, eaten between meals, actually serve to stimulate rather than spoil the ap- petite. Fruit juices, grapes, oranges, pears have such properties. These plque that appetite rather than eatis- fy it, and are an ald rather than hindrance to digestion. Of course, it is not recommended that the eating of any of these foods immediately pre- ceds the mealtime. The foods which contain much fat are too rich for eat- ing between meals. When Appetite Is Poor. If your child seems to lack appetite, do not worry or contemplate a change of dlet without some investigation. This investigation might begin with the cookie jar or in the apple orchard. It Johnny is eating what they have to offer, it is not likely that his appetite will ‘improve, nor perhaps desirable that it should until such invasions are stopped. Mid-Meal Preparation. If one wishes to take real pleasure and put some effort in the preparation of the mid-meal diet, for a child or invalid such dishes as junket, taploca made with fruit and sérved without cream, custard, berry juice and crack- ers and other like foods are suitable and not difficult of preparation. Avoid glving anything that is very rich, sweet or cioying. Dishes of that kind will interfere with the appetite at mealtime. A cup of beef tea or other broth is sultable to those whose stomachs are weak. Tea or coffee is not recom- mended for the mid-meal diet anless afternoon tea is to take the place of that it is established into a mid-morn. Ing meal®or one in the mid-afternoon. BEDTIME STORIES The Joke. Who at himselt van lzugh is best Equnwped 1o meet life's svery test. I Mother Nature. At the foot of a great stump in the | Green Forest Peter Rabbit and Jumper the Hare sat gossiping. They were talking about O Mistah and Mrs. Buz- zard. “I'm through looking for Mrs. Buz- zard’s nest,” declared Jumper. “I don't believe she has a nest at all.” “Then where does she keep herself mest of the time?" demanded Peter. “Anyway, if you cannot see Ol' Mistah “GOOD MORNING = NEIGHBORS,” SAID SHE. Buzzard up in the blue, blue sky, you will find him on that favorite tail dead tree of his. But you don’t find OI' Mrs. Buzzard there except for a short time each day. Where is she the rest | of the time? OI' Mistah Ruzzard said that she is sitting on two eggs. Of course, if she is sitting on eggs, they must be in a nest. Rut how anybody as big as she can hide and remain hidden is more than I can under- stand.” Jumper was forced to admit that all Peter had said was true. Mrs. Buz- zard did mysteripusly disappear each day, and such a disappearance could be accounted for in only one way—it must be that Mrs. Buzzard had a home somewhere. When Jumper had_de- ed that he didn’t believe Mrs. Buz- zard had a nest he really didn't mean that. It was simply his way of show- ing that he had given up all hope of finding out the Buzzards’ secret. For a little while Peter and Jumper sat side by side with their backs to that big stump and sald nothing at all. y sat there so long that both were beginning to doze. Suddenly Peter sat up with his. ears standing straight up. He had heard the mid-meal. Milk, hot or cold, is much better for the child or invalid. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS you would call it a nest, but Ah done lald two eggs in there and now Ah done got two of the finest babies in all the Great World,” said Mrs. Buz- zard. Peter began to laugh. It came over him that it was all a great joke on Jumper and himself. Day after day they had sat there close to Mrs. Buz- zard's secret and never once had guessed it. (Copyrigbt. 1925.) AUTUMN BY D. C. PEATTIE Goldenrod. In September's glorfbus weather is the time to learn the goldenrods, and one speaks of them in the plural be- cause, with the asters, they are the most . varied of all our wild flowers. There are no less than 20 kinds grow- ing in the District of Columbia, and they invade every sort of place—the vacant city lot, the marshy swales along the Potomac, dry rocks on the quarries up-river, bare woods, open meadows and roadside ditches. To them we owe much of the dash and splendor of Autumn in our fields. The goldenrod is ranked as only a weed—by the thoughtless—but there i8 assuredly a regal beauty in a wav- ing fleld of the vellow heads. If our finest garden flowers grow in road- side ditches, some people would call them weeds. For those who love the untamed in nature, goldenrod season is one of the lovellest in the. year. For there is nothing shy or retiring aboug” this flower;- it is never so rare that one may not pick it, nor.so finicky that iL will not grow if you care to plant it. The goldenrod has been proposed as our national flower. There is reason in this, for it is a characteristic plant of every part of the country, except some of the desert and Western areas. On the other hand, it is but rarely found outside the United States and Canada, and so is not, like the rose, the daisy and other flowers that have been considered for our floral emblem, something we share much with for- eign countries. ‘There is a persistent bellef that gol- denrod is the cause of hay fever, but enlightened doctors and botanists are skeptical about this. Only wind-polli nated plants cause hay fever, like the ragweed and plantain, while the gol- denrod, which has heavy insect-carried pollen, could not easily give you hay fever unless you smelled it. & queer not At least, he thought he had. He looked at his big cousin Jumper to see if Jumper had noticed it. Jumper was still dozing. Peter kept perfectly qulet, but he still sat with his ears standing straight up. He had just about made up his mind that he must have been mistaken when he heard that noise again, this time louder than before. Jumper also heard it, and promptly sat up with his long ears pointed straight up to the sky. was_that?” said he. Peter shook his’ head. “I don' know,” he replied. “I heard it once before. It seemed to come from back of us.” They both turned.and stared at the old stump. It was a big stump and it was too tall for them to jump up on. As they sat there staring at it they heard the nolse again, and this time they knew where it came from. It came from inside that stump. There vas no doubt about it. You should seen them jump and run. But only went a short distance, then ned and stared at the stump. “That stump must be hollow,” whis- pered Peter. “That stump must be hollow and there is somebody inside it. Who do you suppose it can be' “I haven't the least idea,” replied Jumper. At that very instant something hap- pened which gave Peter and Jumper such a fright that they couldn't move. Without any warning at all, a great bird with a bald, red head appeared on the edge of that old stump. It was ©O' Mrs. Buzzard herself. She had jumped up there from inside the hollow. “Good mofning, neighbors,” said she. “Aren’t you going to congratu- late me?” “What for?” asked Peter when he could find his tongue. “On two ‘of the finest bables in all the Great World,” replied Mrs. Buz- zard proudly, as she turned and looked down inside that big stump. Peter looked at Jumper and Jumper looked at Peter, and such a funny look as there was on the face of each. “Is—i8 your nest inside that stump?” Peter ventured. “Mah home 4 Ah don't know as 3 Women’s Allure no longer imperiled even under the most trying hygienic problem RESH, charming, immaculate wader ALL conditions.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Should a Wife Dress According to Hubby’s Taste or by the Fashion Books?—Shall She Give Up Her Husband?—The Cross-Word Puzzle. R MISS DIX: Should I dress to please my husband? He wants me to ‘wear my skirts down to my ankles, and my waist 8o high in the neck that it would choke me, and he objects very much to my bobbed hair, and to m: using even the tiniest bit of rouge. I want to look good to him, but certainly hate to look like & figure of fun to the balance of the world. ¥ BEWILDERED WIFE. Answer: Just how much a woman should be gulded by her husband's taste in dress depends altogether on how far he has qualified as an expert in such matters. I should think that Madame Worth and Madame Paquin, and the wives of the proprietors of smart dress shops and ladies’ tallors, would Jo well to let their husbands pick out their clothes for them and ablde by r advice. But when it comes to Mr. Smith, and Mr. Jonea, and Mr. Robinson, and the common run of grocers and hardware men, who don’t know peau de cygne from calico, and who couldn't tell the difference between elephant's breath and magenta, and who can't see why a year before last dress, provided it has no_holes in it, isn't good enough to wear anywhere, why, they are out of their depths. They are laying down the law about a thing of which they know nothing, and they should be laughed out of court. Of course, a wife desires above everything to present a pleasing appear- ance to her husband and call forth his admiration. Theoretically, therefore, she should dress to please him, but the trouble is that she doesn't please him when she dresses as he demands. For the poor, dear man doesn't really know what he likes. ' In this case, for instance, he wants you to dress as his mother did 20 vears ago. But if you did it, he would wonder why you didn't look as nice as other women, why yoy were frumpy and unattractive. Unconsclously his eve 15 educated to the short skirts and short sleeves and low necks of the present vogue, and whether he approves of them or not, the woman who hasn’t them looks like a has-been to him. And he will let his eyes roam from her to some flapper who is dolled up in the latest abbreviated rags from Paris. It doesn’t do to take everything a husband says too seriously—especlally when he theorizes about how & woman should dress. Just laugh at him and tell him that when he will wear a suit of clothes and whiskers like what hix father used to wear you will get a long, full skirt and a high-necked basque like what his mother used to wear.

Answer: Well, Corrie, one of the first things a wise woman finds out about a husband is that there is a time to speak and a time to keep silent. And one of the seasons when she should keep her tongue behind her teeth is When a man is pawing frantically through the dictionary trying to find a word of one syllable that begins with f and ends with 1, and that describes those daring ereatures who rush in where angels fear to tread. As for a remedy for breaking a man of the .cross-word puzzle mania. there Isn't any. It is an obsession while it lasts, and your comfort can be that, like all other crazes, it will wear itselt out after a while. But why do you object to 1t? Tt is certajnly. an innocent and harmless amusement, one that stimulates the mind,-and improves the vocabulary, and that has no objectionable features whatever. Moreover, it has the advantage of keeping a man at home, nalled to his own encyclopedia, and that should recommend it in all wives' eves It is wives like you, who knock all of & man's fads and fancies and who quarrel about the time and money he spends on his hobbles, who drive men y home. : DOROTHY DIX.

It really meant “guardian of vic- “aieg,” which appears in so many old Teutonic names. But though very popular among the Danes at the time of their invasions and settlements of England, it was also to be found among the Saxons themselves, and even the Normans.
