WOMAN’S PAGE. The Trousers Fashion for Women BY MARY MARSHALL. Drecoll's culette skirt is one of the things that people speak of when thay talic apout new fashions. It has besome eo popularized that you can Wuy it in the department stores for a WHE DRECU.Lu CE THAT HAS ALREADY BECOME RATH- ER WELL KNOWN IN THIS COUNTRY—HERE DEVELOPED IN WHITE KASHA.

And women talk about these culottes and buy them and wear them who have no idea that culotte is just the French name for breeches For resort wear and for Spring thes culotte skirts are made in cushmere and other light-weight woolen mate- rials—with the part in wr; around arran and the ‘“cu lottes™ attache ‘oke beneath. There is no re: vou should wear them only . tennis and other manly sports. well suited for any occasion where a sim- ple sport skirt is in order. Drecoll's name has been associated with the culotte skirt, but most of 4 the French dressmakers have shown them in recent collections. Nicole Grou't goes s0 far as to make after- noon frocks with tiis type of skirt— one of blue satin shown at a recent reception being much spoken of. But what {s the fashion worth for You or me or any other American woman, who would in all probability not wish to wear a blue satin after- noon frock with trouser skirt? For us the culotte, ¥ think, lacks useful- ness as a general fashion. But as a successor or alternative of the knicker it has great, possibilities. It is every bit as convenient and com- fortable as the ubiquitous knicker and it is miles ahead of that popular garment of neatness. The bulzing line of the ordinary pair of knickers is anything but smart, according to present-day ideas of smartness. For skating the culotte has already n tried and not found wanting.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. ‘Where All the Gall Goes. An anxious reader—though I can say with my hand on my ensiform cartiiage that his anxiety is not of my making—writes that he has been told his gall bladder should be re- moved, but before he gives up such golden treasure he'd like to know where all the gall goes after a person’s gall bladder has been taken out, and how can the gall get out of the stomach after such mutila- 2 Then there are a lor of related questions concerning the not-at-all- well-known liver and its functioning under normal and abnormal condi- tions, and the impulse is to clear these misunderstandings up in one sudden rush and have the lugubrious duty done and over with, but I find that the vast majority of well mis-| informed laymen caunot assimilate more than one or two new facts in a lesson. Indeed, in order to insure any considerable acceptance of even one new fact it is necessary to drive it home about 10 times, from 10 different directions, else Mr. and Mrs. Welsenheimer and the young Wisenhelmers will remain blisstully unaware of it.

Yee, &ir, he certainly did feel foolish. As he looked up at Mocker the Mock- ing Bird and heard those soft, plaintive notes of Winsome Bluaebird, he knew that he had been fooled. *You fraud!” he cried. Then he chuckled. He had to. The joke was on him.

He chuckled all the way as he went into the house to I Mrs. Brown how they had been lei by the feathered guest they had all Winter. As Farmer Brown's Boy opened the door to go Into the house Black Pussy the Cat slipped out. She sat down on the doorstep and yawned. Then she looked this way and that way and the other way, trying to make up her mind where to go. She felt the need of a 1ttle exercise, and the most delightful way to get that exercise would be to go hunting.

About the only remedy one can con- ceive for it is a fair teaching of gen- uine physiology and actual hyglene in our common schools. But how can we make the Wisenheimer compre- hend the importance of good instruc- tion in these humanistic subjects? 8chool men sometimes intimate that I indulge in too much criticism of the common schools and their methods. Teachers who have had rather sketchy pedagogical training sometimes take to themselves what I am aiming at— the system. If a teacher of physiol- 0By betrays profound lack of famili- arity with the subject, thorough misin- formnation, and I cite the incident im- personally, my purpose, and I believe the only effect, is to bring public ridi- cule upon the system under which the arce is maintained. Some of the no- t women I have ever known were ers. Well, Lriefly, the gall bladder or gall sac 1s a little bulb closely resembiing the bulb of a perfume sprayer. It isa mere side-track off the main line of the bile or gall line from liver to intes- tine. So total removal of the gall bladder does not interfere in the least with_the convevance of the gall or bile from the liver into the intestine. (Copyright. 1926.) BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Black Pussy started over toward the Old Orchard. She had decided she on the chance that she might surprise Chatterer the Red Squirrel, or Mouse, or possibly Striped Chipmunk poking his head up to see what the weather was like. You know, once in a while he does that even in the middle of Winter. It was useless to plan to catch any birds this time of year, be- cause it was only once in a while that there were any birds on the snow where she could have a chance to catch them. So Black Pussy wasn't thinking of birds. No, indeed, she wasn't thinking of birds at all. But hardly had Black Pussy started down along’ beside the old stone wall when in the bushes ahead of her she heard a chirp of & bird. Black Pussy couldn't believe her own ears; that chirp was the chirp of Welcome Robin. She knew {t. My, what fun it would be to catch Weicome Robin! Black Pussy crouched still, all but the tip of her tail, and listened. Yes, that was the chirp of Welcome Robin; and, goodness, there was the cry of Kitty the Catbird! You should have seen her yellow eyes glare with excitement. She knew that Kitty the Catbird liked those bushes along the old stone wall and had built a nest there last Spring. She dldn’t stop to think that she never had seen Kitty the Catbird tn Winter. Then she heard the notes of small birds of various kinds. It sounded as If there must be a party—a feathered party—down in those bushes. Her tail twitching, her eyes glaring, Black Pussy stole along as only Black Every two or three steps she stopped and listened. On she went, growing more and more excited with every step. This would be good hunt- ing. Yes, indeed, this would be good hunting. She was sure of it. But presently Black Pussy began to wonder why she didn't come up with those birds, why she didn't see one of them flitting about. To judge by the sounds, they were moving along as fast as she was. She had almost reached the end.of the old stone wall, yet she hadn’t caught a glimpse of one of those feathered people. Then b::; of her. didn’t know what to make of it. BShe turned about. There wag no doubt that those birds were in the bushes through which she had just come. Ha! She caught a glimpse of one. It was Mocker the Mocking Bird. But Black Pussy didn’t know this. She began sneaking back again and always that twittering and chirping was just ahead of her. Final- it nw&o:.- Mocker the Mocking had away.

One mother says: In my kitchen F always have cups and vessels of standard sizes, all plain- {1y marked with the ounces, pints and quarts. When I cook or preserve, I allow the children to measure the flour and sugar. I also have a pair of scales for weighing which are really more for the benefit of the children | than for my own use, although I often find them handy when I want to know the size of a roast or fowl.

They then sud- denly change, and become adverse, would prowl. along the old stone wall} continuing so for the balance of th day. If you have in mind some im- portant task that requires immediate attention, it would be wise to do it during the early part of the day, when the signs portend success and the at- mosphere breathes optimism. At noon a sense of pessimism will per- vade you, and only those dutles that, as a result of exigency, are inescap- able should receive your attention. Even in the execution of these, it will be necessary to establish equilibrium of temperament, as the influences | Wil make for hastiness and impul- siveness, both in speech and action. Children born tomorrow are des. tined to go through infancy with few, it any,allments. They wiil be blessed with good constitutions, and, in the remote event of sickness, will react quickly to ameliorative treatment. In temperament, the boy will be brusque, Indifferent to the little con- ventionalities of soclety and life, and very determined and positive, as well as plodding. The girl will be win- some, attractive, cultured and ambi- tious. She will be a worker, and is, according to the signs, fated to be- come a success. Both boy and girl will be loyal, possess affectionate dis- rpositions, and, at all times, be sincere and truthful. If tomorrow is your birthday, and you are & woman, the fates have been generous. You are blessed with a happy disposition and a congenial character. You are not exceptionally intelligent, but are gifted with a fund of sound common sense. You make light of troubles and disappointments, and are an ever-agreeable companion, and can eccomplish more with your winsome smile than another can with toiling service. You are constant and faithful, and are, or will be, a good wife, and much loved mother. If you are a man, you, although possessing many good attributes, are taciturn and never display your tem- peramental wares. You are a hard worker, not very ambitious, and rather too satisfied with things as they are.. Your integrity and high sense of honor are realized, by all. Your quixotic loyalty and sincerity are appreclated by your intimates. You may mnot be brilliant, but are thoroughly dependable. ‘Well known pergons born on that date are: George Willlam Curtis, au- thor; John Habberton, author; Wil- jam Clark Russell, author; George Frederick Handel, musical composer; Charles Lamb, famous essayist; Dan- fel Appleton, publisher. lloped Tomatoes.

C. PEATTIE. Indoor Botanizing. With the snow still lingering, and my friends atill basking in the sun in Florida and writing unkind_letters telling me how. anfortunate I am, I grow so impatient for a taste of Summer that F go out in the kitchen and botanize. A famous b of French essays was called ““Trips Around My Bedroom.” I should like to add to the list of indoor Winter sports, “plant-hunting in the pantry.” It requires a little botanizing on the pantry shelves to make you realize how important the food products of the tropics are in dally life. To be sure, I have a leaning toward some of the rarer tropical foods like dasheens and avocados. But on every house- wife's shelf you may see a fascinating museum of products with roman’ historles—nutmegs from the Kast In- dies, reminding us that England and Holland once fought a bloody war over ‘he nutmeg question; cloves from magical Ternate, still one of the most | unknown fslands {n the world; cinna. mon from far Ceylon, and vanilla from “he orchids of Mexico.
