WOMAN’S PAGE Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROTHY STOTE. Dear Ann: Rings huve their suitability and be- comingness, just as do clothes. Here is an example. When the spuce be- tween the bottom or end of the finger and the joint is narrow, the setting of the ring should be oblong. If it is square or oval it looks as if it were choking the finger to death. Yours for rings that ring true, LETITIA. (Copyright, 1920.) WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY M The Antelope in Favor. This year antelope skin is in fashion many forms. It is a really new skin, because only the in South Africa had ever used it previously. Maost of the antelope skins which We wear or use come all the way from Africa, because antelopes are found only in-Africa and Asia at present. There are about one hundred varieties of antelope 0 you can well imagine the confusion of any vne who tries to determine just what is or isn't ante- lope skin. ~To make it more confus- ing, these skins vary widely in color. The antelope’s skin has certain dis- tinct virtues for wearing and manu- facture. It 1s soft, pliable, easily ed, and makes a very comforting skin to wear. The ease with which it is dyed helps to make it fashionable because it can be matched with the season's colors. The fur of close, and it smooth finish, the antelope is rather ort hair. It has nd even glistens. The natural colors of the various an- telopes ave usually lively, because they match the colors of the bright plains and jungles of Africa. The antelope is a peaceful anunal and he depends upon his speed to carry him from harm. Usually the natural col- ors of the antelope are brown, in many shades, or hrownish yellow. This~ “protective coloration” enables him to blend indistinctly with the landscape and thus affords him pro- tection from his naturul enemies. There is a real reason for the sud- den favor of antelope skin. Furs are Lecoming scarcer each vear, as we in- crease in our use of them. Fur farms are being started to supply the fur market with enough pelts for your needs. Antelope skin is new to the market, and it relieves the strain on more popular pelts A few skins similar to the antelope’s might easily be sold as antelope skin to the unknowing buyer. These are chamois and the sturdy old Rocky Mountain goat. As a matter of fact, there has never been an antelope m America in civilized times, though there have been animals similar in ap- pearance. Antelope skin is being used for coats, purses, wallets and even shoes. It is still a inexpensive skin and one which has won patrons on its own meri lets, shoes, ete, it m hed by its beautiful grain, and soft, smooth fin- ish. The hunt for the ante.ope is on, and you'll soon be wearing the spoils of the chase. A Boy’s First Knife. What a badge means to a policeman a knife means to a boy. It means his entry into real boyhood, and none feels a greater sense of importance than a boy with his first knife.

It Is for cutting fire- wood, and planing down big sail boats, or shinny sticks. The other blade is strong, and well pointed, and the boy will use it for whittling small pleces of wood, or sharpening his pencils at school. A combination can opener and bottle opener will be attached to the most thrilling knife so that he can perform the ‘‘ceremonies” on a camping trip and be generally efficlent along those lines. Many a boy has become a will- ing worker in the kitchen when he was provided with his own knife and “‘general tool kit."” If the knife is com- plete it will have a firm gouge for cutting extra notches in the boy's belt when he has hurried to school without breakfast, or for tightening his trousers before climbing up an apple tree. The knife you buy should be thor- oughly well made, and able to stand hard wear, falls and knocks. A bone handle is one of the best, though a good hard-wood handle will also stand up. If the knife has a case it will not rust, and dust will not fill up the cracks. When you buy the knife, get some ofl, too, so that son can keep his treasure clean and sharp. Many knives are made with attach- ments for fastening to the belt. This arrangement has a distinct advantage. A heavy knife is quite apt to tear holes in pockets, or wear out seams. A knife means endless good times toa boy. It has a distinct educational value, too. It will teach him the re- sponsibility that goes with even a playful weapon. It ought to teach him to respect property and person. Sweetbread Salad. Wash some sweetbreads in warm water and put them in a stewpan with a little salt and red pepper, and pour bolling water over to cover them. Let boil until tender. Drop in ice water to bleach. When cold, trim, wipe dry and dice them. Mix with equal quantities of diced celery and boiled French peas.

Food 8 Fortunate the individual who under- stands the art of seeing the whole of a given question and of weighing well all considerations! This is as true of dletary matters as of any other, and if we aspire to the attainment of all- round knowledge of nutrition, here is a point well worth your serious atten- tion. ‘The layman who is just beginning to study food and diet has a tendency to become overserious about certain things, as, for example, the daily and exact balancing of all the elements that go to make up a complete dietary. Up to a certain point this is well, but there is danger of overdoing such anxlety. Any deficiencies existing in one meal may be made good at the next; f a day's ration is incomplete, the week as a whole may take care of the lack, and so on. Once this fact Is impressed on the mind, however, it is quite possible to discard anxiety so completely as to endanger the efficlency of the diet along another line. Take the children's milk, for ex- ample. Practically every one knows that the daily quart for each child is the only safe standard if we are to be assured that the youngsters have firm bones, good teeth and strong muscles. Yet how easy it is to slip into the way of providing just one glass less a day, “for the present.’’ Always there is the subconscious de- termination to return to the full standard, but frequently the time is postponed indefinitely until the child’s ration is permanently weakened. Even this {llustration must be con- sidered with due regard for all the factors that enter Into a complete ration. The milk supply may tempo- rarily be interfered with, and then, of course, it i{s usually quite possible to construct a fairly satisfactory make- shift dietary. The argument as ad- vanced is based on the assumption that the interruption of the dally quart has come about largely because of inertla on the part of the one in charge of the household feeding pro- gram. The insidious character of the dan- ger confronting those who are headed straight for chronic indigestion be- cause of the fact that individual vio- lations of dietary laws do not always bring Instant retribution is recog- nized. Not so well understood is the danger of what some one has called “continuous slight insufficlency” of any one of the chief food elements. It is so fatally easy to rest on the as- surance already noted that slight dis- crepancies may be made up at a later meal. So let us watch carefully each main division of the home diet. Let us see to it that the body-bullding food, as represented by meat, fish, milk, eggs and cheese, s kept adequate. Let us watch the frults and vegetables, espe- cially the vegetables'—so as to be very certain that no one is “getting away” with a secret attempt to eat fewer carrots, cabbage and spinach than the quantity prescribed. Other items—the cereals, breads and fats—all must be included In this occasional scrutiny. Probably the only element about which we need not be concerned is sugar. That 18 50 popular that it {8 extremely doubtful whether there will ever be a volunary ‘“continuous slight insufficlency.” Above all, let us make such a scru- tiny a practical working plan, rather than a mere harassment of ourselves over the mechanical details of “bal ancing” the diet. {Copyris 921 st Lady Beatty, wife of Admiral of the Fleet Earl Beatty, is an enthusi- astic collector of old furniture and pictures, and loves nothing better than wandering over Europe in search of interesting antiques.

Ahout eight years ago Dr. Bethuel B. V. Lyon of Philadelphia introduced a new technffal procedure whereby bile could be drawn directly from the dder for examination, and this inage of the gall blad it, proved of con- | ble value in the diagnosis of gall | bladder affections. Briefly the dure involv I duodenal tube, u modern refinement on the famous old stomach pump, and the injection into the ducdenum of a solution of Epsom salt, which has the effect of stimulating the gall bladder to empty itself into the duodenum whence the bile was drawn out through the duodenal tube, Not long after this procedure wa adopted by physicians generally, some of them noticed that patients seemed to derive some benefit from this oc- casional extraction of the gall, and this led to more careful trials of the method as a remed nd some of the physicians who tried it out concluded that it was of distinct value, while others were unable to see that it had any actual remedial value —they were inclined to ascribe im provement in the condition of the patient to the rest in bed, dieting and other measures employed at the time the gall bladder drainage was carried out. Physicians who looked upen the procedure as a real ald in the treat- ment of gall tract and associated con- ditions argued that the removal of the bile in this way prevented the re- absorption of hacteria or their poi- sons into the blood through the wall of the diseased gall tract, as well as the reabsorption of these poisons from the bile in the intestine, if the bile Wi left to its natural course. They ued that this non-surgical dralin- age diminished the amount of focal Infection from the infected gall blad- der or gall duct as the focus, source or depot, through the rich network of lymphatic channels in that region. All fine and dandy so far. But i was about time for some one to come along and tip over Dr. Lyon's apple cart. There was always something about these arguments of adherents of the Lyon procedure that reminded one of the arguments put forward by Ger- man pharn sts in behalf o acologist their endless stream of new medicines. proce- have to S you stand at the grocer’s counter with a dozen or more competing loaves before you, how are you to make sure that the one you select to give to your family is'the best—the richest in nourishment, the most palatablein taste? raised and out with a You canngt tell anything about the quality of the ingredients by the looks of the loaf.
