You | Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROTHY Dear Ann: As I have said before, it is better for a short woman to aveid a top coat that has fur around the bottom. But If she must wear one, then the bot- tom should be full and the fur rip- pling, because this suggests a triangu- lar effect, which helps to give height | ure. s for height, (Coprright little frock when perchance do, have a few 1 tea time, you 16 feel conspicucus—for fur coat or fur- vour gay little frock completely. Another explanation has been given for the increasing use of bright colors in_ Winter. Once the woman who considered herself discriminating in matters of dress usually selected bright colors for warm weather to be shown under bright sunshine and blue ocks for the long Now we have become or are becoming a nation of s, Iven farmers and Sum rding housckeepers fly to Florida when cold weather gives them an excuse and every one who can afford it and lots of those who cannot take at least one little trip to torrid or nearly torrid climes during Winter. ~ The long dark Winter is neither so long nor so dark as it used to be and women wear brighter colors in consequence. Frock of luminous shades of green seem to be especially prominent at smart tea places at present. The sketch shows one recently worn. It was of bright green velvet trimmed with beige fur. There is a gold orna- ment at the side. (Copyright vou before errands to vour MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Farina with Raisins. Poached E; v able Hash Hot Bran Muffins. Coffee. HEON Chicken Salad.

Comparing the remedial value of sunbaths with that of ultraviolet light from a mercury-vapor quartz lamp which gives a relatively greater con- centration of these invisible rays than sunlight does, Dr. Charles E. Sevier ack vidence prove that the remedial value of sunlight depends entirely upon these limited rays. He believes to ! that the results of sunbaths, properly | administered are superior to any results which mav be obtained from treatments with mercury-vapor quartz lamps. Sunbaths should net be attempted without medical supervision at least for invalids. Well folk may expose their ed bodles to the sun their own risk, benefit or discomfort. Leon- ard Hill recently said. discussing ul- traviolet light In international sclentific cor that “skyshine gives as much ultraviolet radiation as the hot mid- v sun does,"” so that one may lie and bask in it if the sky ls Out West, wherever vou are, the sky 1s generally brighter than It is back East. That is about the only conceivable reason why we grow big- ger men in the West and why invalids generally prefer the Western climate. Still, they have some bits of sky back East, once you get far enough away from the smoke of the cities. About 25 per cent of the light from My Neighbor Says: For a small family it is handy to have a pail of mixed ple- ecrust flour. Mix flour, lard and salt together and keep in a cov- ered dish.

In making tea allow one tea- spoon for each person and one “for the pot.” Allow one table- spoon of coffee for each person and one “for the pot. Take care to cook fish well, for it is both unpalatable and unwholesome when underdone. Fish should always be served hot for invalids. Cold salmon may be occasionally given to invalids, but it is better if wrapped in buttered paper and very lightly broiled. “SEVEN-ELEVEN. . . by the “And why not? first candy counter. Ask 7-11.

The naked arc lamp, ordinary street lamps junked as old-fashioned, has been used with considerable satisfaction in one large Institution where sunbathing and the mercury-vapor quartz lamp are employed. But the medical head picked up the arc lamps at a dollar per, and that is against the rules of the' game. This ultraviolet ray busi ness, I must not forget to mention has brought huge fortunes to numer ous descendants of Capt. Kidd who are in the manufacturing line. News comes from the Lister Insti tute in England that they are work ing on two kinds of glass which will | permit the passage of ultra-violet rays, and they hope to introduce such glass at a reasonable price, so that people not in the manufacturing business may afford to use it for sun rooms Let us hope this is true.

You are tired now with the constant grind. What about gela- tin? I've just been reading about that scientific chap who has dug up any amount of information about that product, and, if my memory serves, he sald something about its being a friend of all, irrespective of age or previous condition of servitude.” Mrs. Housckeeper, being likewise up- to-date, acknowledges that she has been unfair to a number of foods that are valuable for all members of the family and that her lord and master is quite right about gelatin “The sclentific chaps s Mr.| Housekeeper dubs them, ve un- covered some remarkable facts about gelatin—facts that should have even wider dissemination than they have up to the present time enjoyed. One of the the mose significant of these facts is that gelatin exerts a definite influence on the digestion of | other fo8ds, especially the proteins or body builders Pasteurized milk may have its food value increased no less than 23 per cent merely by the addition of 1 per} cent of gelatin. | The addition of 1 per cent of gela- | tin gives the popular and nourishing ice cream almost 20 per cent addition al absorbability, and. as every woman knows, fmparts a delightful consist- ency to the cream besides. Again, gelatin is a protective food a “protein sparer,” making it unneces- sary to eat large quantities of protein food and helping those foods in their | task of body bullding. This is accom- | plished by the exercise of the protec- tive power inherent in gelatin, that property which builds up a barrier against extreme tissue waste.

Left-Handed Compliment. A popular slang expression in mod- 1 speech today for a complimen: that is not a compliment in spirit, on: which might be regarded as having in it even the element of insult, is a “left- handed compliment.” The saying had its origin in the old Furopean custom of morganatic mar- ciage, which was the form of union contracted when a member of a reign. ing house, who by law could contract 1 perfect marriage only with a woman of equal rank, wished to marry a woman of inferfor rank. The mor- :anatic wife and her children were xcluded from inheriting the rank of | her husband, or the bulk of his prop- | >rty, which went with his position. During the ceremony which nlace at a morganatic marriage it w: in old custom for the man to give the tride his left hand instead of the ight, whence came the name “left.| handed marriage,” from which we have the expression “left-handed com sliment” in popular speech today | | i | | | Oyster Canapes.
