You might make It yourself—using (wo the ribbon and enough for the collar. A good way (o give the en- semble air to a suit and a hat would be 1o make a vest of this sort, using some of the same ribbon to make an or- nament for the hat—or you might better take the ribbon to your milliner and get her to do it for you, for these new ribbon hat ornaments are by no means as easy to make ax they seem. Some of the wide-brimmed hats de- signed for Southern wear are trimmed with ribbon bows—loops like butterfly wings posed toward the top of the crown with the longer ends brought down. and flaring over the brim. There are dozens of charming new cocardes 1o be made from ribbon—those that show very fine pleating of the ribbon heing the most popular at present. Our sketch shows a black taffeta rib- hon girdle that may also give a useful suggestion to the woman who sews at home. The end_of the ribbon is adorned with appliqued flowers of narrow col- ored ribbons accentuated with gold thread embroidery. (Copyright. 1925.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Grapefruit.

It's one of our greatest faults—and you can't blame the men for razzing us about it—that persistent desire to know that the best man loves us.

The fact that he’s not seeking other glrls at all, simply Qaving seven dates {With un per week, ®s very pleasant, but it cuts no ice with us, really. No, we aren't satisfied at all until we pin down the unfértunate male nd ask him in a low, thrilling tone: re vou sure vou love me? Once or twice isn't so bad—but we aren't content with the knowledge that last week he told us he was quite sure—we have to be reassured con- tinually. ; | " "And most men hate perpetual heart- throbs—hate having to pull a husky whisper: “You know I do, dear. Of course I'm sure. They figure that they've told us once—that they've been consistently rushing us ever since, and that we ought to let it go at that. You know, it's really only our van- ity that demands that constant reas- surance. If a boy is showing in every possi- ble, way that he cares for us, we oughtn't to insist on his confirming his original declaration. Deep in our hearts—unless there's something very wrong indeed—we know all the time that he's crazy about us. But our wretched vanity won't let him go as easily as that. We have to hear the actual words over and over again. Iiven if we have some real doubts “bout the state of his devotion, what do we gain by our pathetic query, “Are you sure you love me?” ISven if he's actually cooling off, con- sidering somebody else, our anxlous question will not wring the truth from him.

DECEMBER 16 1925 FOOD AND HEALTH EY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS, Food Speclalist. * How often do we come &cross & gen- eralization like this: “The American diet is largely white bread, steak, po- tatoes and pie.”” The various authors then proceed to point out that because of the preponderance of starch and meat in the national dietary the na- tion as a whole is headed straight for retribution in the form of malnutri tlon, not to say all-round inefficiency! Now the American dietary, taken by and large, does show an overweening fondness for starchy foods, for sweets and for meat. To make the statement, however, as an unqualified generaliza+ tion does a grave injustice to a num- ber of valuable foodstuffs. Before we know It some persons given to the forming of smap juds- ments will be saving, “Oh. White bread is bad for :you, and so I8 meat 1 heard some one say 8o, or I read it,” an the case may be. The truth is that none of thse foods In in itself “bad" for us. The mischief lies in the fact that single foods are expected to perform the work of an | all-round mixed diet, and no self-re- specting foodstuff will submit! Take white bread, for example. do like it, and one of our cholcest sac- rifices during the war was the giving up of white flour that the soldiers might have the more easily transport ed and more digestible form of bread. The long-current notfon that it is in ferior as foodstuff is being done away with. Sclentists are establishing tha fact that white flour more than makes up for its Jack of bran and salts by ita digestibility and other qualities. White bread is not “bad” for us! Simply because we are prone to let our enjoyment of meat overrule better judgment, serving large por tions of meat several times a day when moderate servings once a da: are in order, there is no.reason to =ayv that meat is essentially “bad’ for us' The next victim in_this particular generalization is pie!

This Is a long way, how- ever, from saying that “pie is bad for one! Possibly the chief contributing far tor to this deplorable state of misin formation is the habit that is so wide spread of half stating a fact and the companion habit, equally pernicious, of half digesting the same fact. The one who makes the infictment of our food program is careless. He tells only half truths and -omits entirely information that would throw much Jight on the entire subject. The lis tener or reader.is equally culpable. in that he does not allow his hearing power, his reasoning power and his common sense to function.

CHAPTER LI The People Against Fay Carson. | Now as it happened, Mr. Martin, perhaps her one friend in | the hotel, might have made things easier for Fay if he had been present As it was, he had breakfasted early, %0 as to have a long day plaving golf, | the inn her in land there wasn't a soul at who was willing to stand her predicament. | Even Dick Preston, who last night had resented Elinor, Ramsey’s posses- | sive attitude, was this morning sway {ed by the general opinion. manifested | toward Fay. Unless a man is serious- Iy in love with a woman, he resents making himself conspicuous where she is concerned. Dick liked Fay, liked her because she had been will: ing to play without being serious. But his liking was not strong enough to make him wish to champion her in her distre: Besides, like Jack, he s he had been when he had thought of her as a widow. Now that he knew the truth, he was beginning to feel that. her intentions had, after all, been as serious as those of any girl whose aim it _is to be married. And %o, although, like Jack, he was vague: Iy ‘ashamed of himself, he was quick to allgn himself with the rest, and on his way out of the dining room he stopped by Elinor’s table. Now, as it happened, Elinor was not a stupid girl. She had given some serious thought to Dick's re- mark the night before and, although she and her mother had done nothing but discuss Fay during the entire meal, she deliberately avolded saving anything about her to Dick. She felt intuitively that to tease Dick, to say lightly, “What did I tell you!" or to make any disparaging remark what- ever, would be to antagonize him under the circumstances, and she was right. Her smile and ber cheerful “Hello, | Dicky, isn't it a gorgeous day?” had { exactly the right effect upon him. He | drew a breath of relief when'he saw ! that he was not to be called upon to | discuss Fay, and his first thought was one of admiration for Elinor. “Elinor's a darn fine kid,” he said to_himself as he smiled back at her. “Feel up to a Httle spin?” he asked nonchalantly. Triumph surged up in Elinor gs she realized that she had taken the right tack with DicKy, but she was careful not to show it. Her response to his invitation was carelessly nonchalant, and as they sauntered out of the din- ing room, followed by Mrs. Ramsey satisfied smile, no one would have was no longer so fascinated with her| spreading of the scandal to Elsie, who | had never liked her. She wasn't at | all surprised that Elsie had told, but | ack was different. Was it possible that he intended to cut her? Why only vesterday he had told her how much he cared. His whole attitude had been one of intense devotion. She had felt that he really cared for | her and she had heen sorry because she could not return his feeling. This | morning everything was changed. He had not even cast a look in her direction. As Fay reached this point in her thoughts, Jack rose from the table |and pushed back his chair.
