BY MARY MARSHALL. Hands A\ GREEN FROCK PALE GREEN SLIPPER AN'S PAGE offer a livelihood for the glove makers. But feet and ankles reign supreme. Judging from the glittering array of shoes that the shops bestow and the fragility of the shoes themselves that women wear both for street and evening, it is small wonder that wom- en complain of the size of their shoe bills. The petulant husband no longer glowers over his wife's millinery bill. Tt is her shoe bill that annoys him supremely. One thing that is sometimes over- looked by the shoe dealers is that this present vogue for elaborate and fragile shoes for practically all occa- sions i3 one that could have come about only in modern times. Modern street pavements have had as much to do with recent developments in shoe fashions as the modern motor car has had in the realm of millinery. A hundred and fifty years ago women a of fashion could find few streets in Paris where walking was possibie. It was only the ver that could coaches and chairs who could wear fine shoes, save on very special occa- sions. The women who had to go about on foot had to wear coarse, ugly shoes. The change has come gradually enough. Within a generation great improvements have been made in our own large American cities. The dis- placement of the horse by the motor car in city streets has, of course, helped to make our streets fit for fine shoes. One of the first things that must be done by promoters of any sort of out-of-town resort is to make the paths and sidewalks fit for fine shoes 1o tread upon.

Binky held his own in our pranks and sports and we liked him. There was a big show coming and we counted funds. It was plain some- thing must be done if we were all to attend the show, and there would be no pleasure in going if the attend- ance of the gang was not complete. ‘We scurried about for jobs and saved assiduously, meeting in the lot to com- pare hoards and scheme for more. The dayv before the event we met. We wee all close to the score, 50 cents. If a fellow was a few cents shy some one a few cents ahead pleced it out. ‘““Tomorrow we get what we can for peanuts,” and we separated, each with his 50 cents jingling in his pocket and dreams of the great time to come. Next day Binky showed signs of distress. “She made me give it for the heathen.” ‘No,” we shouted as one outraged man. “No.” “Yep. She did.” What he said about those heathen and what we said in support vears that poss is_an empty achievement unless it is shared with those we love and those who love us. Children have not the experience necessary to appreciate this. They must acquire it as the years go by. Begin by telling them that it is sclfish and ungenerous to take the best of everything. Ignore their pro- tests and their truthful statement that all they gzet is the worst end of it. They have to learn that get- ting the worst end of a slice of cake is not a lasting pain. Put the mat- ter on a sporting Take turns in having the largest and the best. The children will get that idea sooner than the self-sacrifice notion. It is closer to their level of understanding. Do not make the mistake "of forc- ing a child to be unselfish. Of course it can never succeed. Unselfishnegs rests on self-surrender and no child can do that consciously and be un- selfish. He will be multinous, and that is a r from altruism.

Saving requires determination, self- denial, strong will power and an econ- omic sense above the average. To save, first one must know the value of the dollar. If one can cultivate the faculty of economy until he really knows and appreciates values, he is in a fair way to accumulate. not only money but lands and goods. Unless a person naturally is a saver, it is almost impossible to form the habit in after life. Economy, the provident habit of the squirrel and | other animals to lay aside for the lean days, is inborn in many of us, and sadly lacking in most of us. Try as hard as you will, you cannot seem to save that rest egg. The size and shape of the mouth and nose are infallible signs of the saver and he who lives for day-to- day only. Sometimes you may be able to control the language of the eyes, but it is impossible to change the lines and set of the mouth and the form of the nose. If the lower lip is excessively thick he have fleas. and drooping and the base of the nose small, with the sides thin, you may be sure that here is a person who gratifies his desires and passions at whatever cost. His own funds will slip away from him and also the property of others if intrusted in his care. (Copyright. 1926.) Club Sandwich.

THE EVENING Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, Cod Liver 0il. Almost every one is aware that physicians, as a routine, are now giv- ing cod liver oil daily to all babies, whether breast or bottle fed. Mothers like to know why this is done and so here is the reason for it. There are five groups of foods which are essential to keep the hu- man body in perfect condition. Pro- teins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The proteins are necessary to sup- ply material for the growth of the colls. As the body is made up of cells which are breaking down daily under the stress of living, one can see how necessary it is that we have materials for rebuilding these cells, Carbohydrates (sugars and starches) furnish us with heat and with ma- terfal for keeping our muscles active. Children can stand more sugars and siarches than adults, because they run off so much energy which must be constantly supplied. When adults eat too much they can't use it up and so they store the surplus in the form of fat. Children do this, too, if they eat too much sweet stuff. Fats do just about the same thing as_the carbohydrates. Minerals give us the material for bones and teeth and help form the body fluids and tissues. The all-important vitamins help us better to make use of all the other materials; just as a workman is necessary to build a house even when all the other materials are supplied. Vitamins are workmen. Now we come to cod liver oil. It is a rich source of vitamin. Orange juice is another of a different kind of vitamin, for there is more than one type of this element. Cod llver oil is the anti-rachitic kind; so-called because {it, in conjunction with a proper diet, protects a child from the dangers of rickets. Cod liver oil is given to babies and children then in order to furnish them with a valuable and necessary vita- min. This vitamin in turn helps the child’s body make use of the other food qlements, phosphorus and cal- cium especially, with which he builds his bones and teeth. Cod liver oll alone, without a proper diet, would be a workman with no materials. But with the materials furnished and the workman to help along, a perfect structure will be the result.

Pistory of Bour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. SPICER. VARIATION—Spiser. RACIAL ORIGIN—Engli SOURCE—An occupation. The origin of the family name of Spicer, or Spiser, is quite obvious. To a far greater extent than we do, the medieval English used the termi- nation “er” with the name of an article or thing to indicate the per- son habitually or occupationally con- nected with it. But while it is quite true that the original Spicers were merchants who handled spices or prepared them, you must not picture them to yourself as following the medieval parallel of the modern spice grinder. As a matter of fact, if family names were being formed today the Spicers would not adopt this name, or have it given to them by their communities. They would be called, rather, “Crocers.” ‘The spicer of medieval times really ‘was more of a retail grocer than what we understand by the term spicer. He did not handle, of course, the wide and varied lines of merchandise which the modern grocer is able to offer. There were no canned goods then. There were no bottled olives and packaged breakfast foods. And for the most part flour was bought direct from the miller. This left the specialty grocer little to handle but goods coming under the general classification of spices if you interpret the word in its most liberal sense. Fresh vegetables, you see, were purchased in the farm- ers’ markets. (Copyright, 1826.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Suggest Something to Play!

Why not have a list of games written and suggest one for a surprise? Garden making on paper is a game easily arranged. Give the child a sheet of wrapping paper and a magazine or seed catalogue that has pictures of fruits and flowers. He can select cer- tain favorites, cut them out and paste them on the paper to represent a gar- den. With crayons the garden may be colored to more closely resemble a real garden.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Hobson's Choice.” Out in the breezy West when they catch a horse thief they politely ex- tend to him the privilege of choosing whatever particular method of death he prefers. That's “Hobson's Choice.” There's a strike on the subway, a tieup on the “L,” the busses are over- loaded and the street cars have no power. How do you prefer to get to work? That, too, is ‘‘Hobson's Choice.” The expression *“Hobson's Choice” had its unique origin with one Hob- son, the keeper of a livery stable at Cambridge, England. When a cus- tomer wanted to hire a horse the in- teresting proprietor, after permitting him to go the rounds of the s:alls and examine the horses with a view to selection, would announce that the horse nearest the stable door, and none other, would be used.

A busy young secretary was asked her idea of bananas as a food. In- stantly came back the reply, “They are fllling and that's about all.” This represents the usual popular idea about bananas as food, and fol- lowing our plan of showing that to make one statement about a food does not do it justice, why not think about the banana as a filler and something else besides. Not that filler foods are unimport- ant. Far from it. Bulk is very nece: sary, and in this connection one re members the half-starved woman who expended her few pennies for potatoes, because “they fill you so0.” A stomach that does not have this impotrant ele- ment of bulk is a stomach that will sooner or later go on strike. The di- gestive system as a whole requires bulk and’ vegetables end some fruit! Particularly, the banana furnishes this in generous proportion. But if we stop with the statement that bananas are good as fillers, or as bulk furnishers, we are not doing justice to a very valuable food. In the first place, bananas afford a very pleasant way of helping to maintain alkalinity of the blood. They are one of the base-forming foods and as such enter into the diet as a ‘“balancer” for the acid-forming foods. Those of us who live in large cities ca frequently secure delicious bananas at corner fruit stands or even from push carts for only a few cents apiece. The precaution to observe here is to be very careful not to buy fruit that has been broken from the stem and allowed to stay out in dustladen air for any length of time. As Lafayette Mendel of Yale Uni- versity has pointed out, nature has provided a germ-proof nackage for the banana, and it is important to see that both ends are kept intact. If it is necessary to use fruit that has bien torn from the stem, then we must see to it that it has not been kept under conditions where contamination might have been possible. Bananas shine as an energy giver, by reason of the large proportion of starch they contain. Another pre- caution is in order here. Unless the fruit is completely ripe, as shown by skins beginning to turn brown, or even, with some varieti almost black, the starch is not ready for di- gestion. Bananas proportion also furnish a certain of body-building material, and a bl-ounce piece of fruit gives us 5.3 calories composed of protein or body-building food. When we come to the question of body regulation, bananas are still high on the list. There is an appreciable quantity of lime, the element required for sound bones and teeth: even more phosphorus, without which the body cells cannot function, and even a trace of iron. So it will be seen that ba- nanaé give a very good account of themselves in more ways than one! To sum up, they furnish bulk; lime 1s provided for bones and teeth; phos- phorus is provided for the body cells; alkaline ash is provided to help keep the body in its properly alkaline state; energy Is provided to keep the vigorous body driving along its way to efficent work and pleasant play. Another advantage in the use of ba- nanas is that they lend themselves to a considerable variety of simple dishes. Served whole in the skin, at breakfast, they are very satisfying when simply eaten with a fork. Sliced and served with cream and sugar, they make an equally good breakfast dish. As one of the component parts of a fruit salad, they are nourishing and de- licious for luncheon, and they could also serve as the filling for cake or some other dinneg dessert. Bananas themselves are so’ high in food value that simplicity in their service is fm- portant. Finally, when bananas are given to children or those of delicate digestion, scrape the astringent, puck- ery principle that lies just under t skin, This should be done lightly, with a silver fruit knife or the edge of a silver spoon, so as not to break too deeply into the body of the fruit.
