Ribbons in Present-day Fashions BY MARY MARSHALL. Some day the fashion for neck rib- Bons will doubtless be revived—and doibtless the makers of ribbons will rejolce. Time was, you know, when a section of every woman’s bureau wus devoted to a collection of more or leas neatly folded neck ribhons. Then came a time when vards and yards of ribbon were sold for girdles and kashes. , Once every girl, until she i HOW RIBBON MAY 3.

The stbed head has done away with that, ut least in this country. In France little girls still wear hair ribbons— a large bow slightly to one side of the hair. Occasionally you see a little girl in hair ribbons here—but not s often. You might think that with few Tiir ribbons, fewer sash and girdle ribbons and no neck ribbons the rib- bon makers would be in a rather melancholy mood. But dressmakers and milliners use thousands and thousands of yards of ribbons, not only for trimming but for the ac- tnal substance of frocks and hats. Ribbons were never =o tempting as they are today. tul BEDTIME STORIES Breaking News Little by Little. news be good. or news bo ead.

Loops of ribbon clev. erly trim the hems of some of her frocks and a black taffeta period trock of hers has a V neckline, around which is a band of black tulle that incases a pink ribbon. Americans who were in Parls last Summer will remember the lovely light frocks trimmed with shirred narrow ribbons laid on in scrolls. This interesting arrangement has been utilized in some of the new dance frocks and will doubtless be seen in the lighter frocks designed for the Palm Beach season. The woman who makes her own clothes is wise in taking advantage of this revival of interest in ribbon trimmings. It {s not difficult to make loops of narrow ribbon. Loops and ends of ribbons or a rosette of ribbon may be used to give a touch of color at the shoulder or girdle and threc pustel shades are used together. (Copyright. 1926.) Menu for a Day.

BURGESS she sees that first, of course, it will be breaking it to her little by little.” At last Danny got his tail fixed to suit him. He felt quite sure that nothing but his toll was visible in that little path. Then he tried to possess himself with potience. He felt sure that sooner or later Nanny would come out of the house and run along that little path. If she did that, he felt sure that she would see his tall. f she doesn't.”” he sald to himself, ‘Il wiggle it. Then she'll be sure to it were a little longer. h 1t was long like the tail of my cousin, Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. But if it were, I suppose it wouldn'¢ be breaking the news to her little by little.” So Danny sighed and waited, and his funny little short tail lay out in the little path through the grass.

My Neighbor Says: A soft varnish brush with a string or wire through the han- dle to hang it by is a desirable utensil in every pantry to be used for brushing bread, rolls and pastry with melted butter, A new range should be very gradually heated to prevent the possibility of cracking.

They Indicate an emotional spirit incompatible with success or en- deavor. There will be sensed a strong feeling of dissatisfaction, and an in- feriority complex will be observed. Under these baneful Influences it will | be advisable to do only that which is obligatory, and it is an inauspicious occasion for the attempting of any ad- venture that savors of “fresh flelds and pastures new.” It will also be nec- essary to establish poise. Children born tomorrow will, dur- ing infancy, reveal very few and in- frequent signs of physical weakness. Not until they are well along in their ‘teens will their health cause any worry. At this time the signs denote that their condition will provoks a Iittle alarm. If resort is immediately made to skillful advice this bridge can be safely crossed and a vigorous adult- hood attained. In disposition they will be merry and amenable; careful of ad- vice and easy to train. They do not promise to be very studious, or over- loaded with ambition. They will, how- ever, show a marked proclivity for every form of recreation and pastime that is assoclated with “‘out-of-doors.” They will be happy and contented, but not materially prosperous.

Skinny Martin rang the bell for me after suppir last nite and I was aloud | out perviding I dident stay more than a hour, and me and Skinny went and wisseled for Puds Simkins outside of his house, Skinny wisseling through his fingers and me jest wisseling regu- ler on account of that being the ony way I can, and after a wile Puds came to the frunt door, saying, I cant come out, I aint aloud. Aw why not ask your father, I sed, and Puds sed, it wouldent be eny use, he's tired of me asking him. ‘Well maybe it I ask him he'll leeve you, I sed, and Puds sed, well, u can go up and try, he's up in the liv- ing room. And I went up and Mr. Simkins was sitting there reeding the paper and he herd me come up stairs and thawt I was Puds, saying, Did it take you all this time to tell them to stop that wis- seling? I aint Puds, I mean I aint Charles, I sed, and he terned his hed around, saying, Hello, wats this, 1 distinckly told Charles he was neither to go out nor to have eny boys in. Im going rite out agen, I sed, and Mr. Simkins sed, You should never of c?mo in, and I sed, Its swell out to- nite. Meening for boys to be out, and Mr. Simkins sed, Did you come up heer to give me a report on weather condi- tions? No sir, 1 sed. And I quick went out agen without saying wat I came up for, Puds saying, Wat did he say and me saying, He dident say, I did- ent have time to ask him. Wich jest then Mr. Simkins called down, Charles, close that door, and me and Skinny went and wisseled for Leroy Shooster. Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. The Surgeon. If one would be a good surgeon, he should be a complete man. He should have a strong intellect, to give him judgment and enable him to diagnose the case to be operated on in all of its bearings. He must have nowerful perceptive facultles, so that he may not only see but remember the shape and lpcation of all parts, as well as to use instruments. Then, too, constructive imagination should be highly developed to give him the mechanical skill. Furthermore, jie must have in- ventive ability t§ discover and apply the necessary mechanical means for the performance of the duties of his profession. He must be firm, the faculties of destructiveness and benevolence should be large to give him stability, fortitude and kindness. Caution must be large enough to make him careful where he cuts, but not too much to make him timid, ir- resolute or hesitating. He ought to possess a strong and vigorous muscle, a calm nerve to guide the hand. If he has large self-confidence, hope to in- spire confidence of his patients, good nature to make him likened at the bedside, and a high moral character, he will rise to eminence in his pro- fession. A high, full and well filled out fore- head, a broad head at the base of the brain, a full, heavy brow from temple to temple, heavy jaws, a powerful nose, flaring nostrils and a strong chin and mouth—these are the outstanding signs that you may read in your successful surgeon. (Copyright, 1926.) EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talks on Diet The Right Food Is the Best Medicine American Cuisine. “How do you like the skyline, your majest “How do you like American cui- sine?"” Queen Marle of Rumbania has not been diplomatically answering questions all her years without being able to answer the ship reporters’ w York skyline looked American culsine was you eat? “One at a time,” replied Marie. I think that was an evasive answer. Did she eat one buckwheat cake at a meal, remembering her figure, or did she eat one cake, then another and then another? Did she suffer with indigestion? Or were the cakes real buckwheat cooked properly and perfectly negotiable? Were the cakes topped off with butter or sirup, or both? One food .authority sug- gests that because of the starch in wheat cakes, which turns to sugar in the process of digestion, it is bet- ter to eat them with butter than with sirup. [Eaten with sirup there fis likely to be too much sweet and a poseibility of fermentation. Alas, these vital questions have not be- come a matter of history! According to the chiet steward of the Leviathan, the Queen asked that American cuisine be emphasized in her menu service. Accordingly, there appeared on her table corn beef hash, chicken Maryland, beaten biscuits and buckwheat cakes, for all of which the Queen displayed great fondness. Another gay's report of the menu said there was fried chicken, corn fritters, banana fritters and corn muffins. Poor Queen! If this goes on she will surely become a victim of indi- t. gestion. Maybe the reports are keep- ing something from us. Maybe the chefs and the stewards are balancing these meals with a touch of salad and some fresh fruit. Can {t be that the commercial indi- gestion alds have leagued together and bribed the chefs to diet the Queen with “American cuisine,” and that they will then rush forward of- fering her free samples of their products for regal Indorsements? It's a libel against American cook- ing to present at one meal so many dishes of the same nature and call the combination American culsine. A person of normal health could eat fried chicken, or a corn fritter, or a banana fritter—always on the condi- tion that the fritters were delicately made, well cooked and not Swimming in grease which was burned in cook- ing. But fried chicken, benana frit- ters and corn fritters at one go would most likely cause indigestion. Fats are digested in the intestin: they are not acted on by the saliva or by the gastric juice of the stom- ach. For this reason fat foods and fried foods would be delayed in di- gestion and would not be taken care of as quickly by the stomach ae broiled chicken, or ripe banana, or tender young bofled corn. Also the meal needs a balance of fresh vege- tables or fresh fruit: Here's hoping American cuisine will come to mean meals which contain succulent salads and fresh fruit along with the heavier offerings of Amer- ican cooks. M. F. R—Is eating before going to bed harmful? Ans.—For many peo- ple a light collation before going to bed is helpful. An empty stomach may cause sleepelssness. Mrs. J. V. N.—Do acid frults cause acld in the system? Ans.—No; fruit aclds are immediately changed in the stomach and converted into their al- Zaline salts. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1926. SUB ROSA BY MIML Bad Sportsmanship. There's & lot of bad sportsmanship to be seen in girls' behavior, Whether they're playing games or just en- gaged in the pursuit of everyday life. There are all forms of bad sports- manship. The girl who can't be a good loser is, of couse, one of the worst. forms of a bad sport. The girl who can't win gracefully {s another type of pest usually avoided. Those are two very common types. But now there's still another sort of bad sport whose lack of fair play and sporting instinct isn't so noticeable, but who ought to be thoroughly pun- ished just the same. This is the girl called, perhaps, Elise. Elise is charming, popular and smart. She has had many men 1n love with her. And she has thrown most of them over. Recently she was in love with ‘Roger, a nice, quiet boy, who didn’t show her quite the ardor and devotion she de- manded in her men. She moaned about this for several months, and at last, meeting Perry, a new attrac- tion, she dropped the old love for the new. Roger took the whole thing very calmly. In fact, he showed not the slightest desire to win her away from his_successful rival. He smiled calmly when she told him the news—was most reasonable about the whole thing. She was piqued. Two weeks later Anne, her best friend, dashed in to say y_dear, T've just met your old flame, Roger, and T think he's divine. I'm going to have & terrific crush on him. What do you think about it? Elise’s lips tightened. She would never forgive Roger for hurting her vanity—neverl “Oh, don’t be u sap and fall for that awtul cracker crumb,” she ad- vised her little pal, contemptuously “He's perfectly terrible. Honestly, I don’t know what I wasted my time n him for. Silly fathead—that's all he is.”" Anne stared in surprise and some amusement. She was wise. She knew her friend. And she despised Elise for that bad sportsmanship she showed. Elise was sore because Roger had taken his dismissal too light!; And instead of smothering that foolish pride of hers, she de- liberately let it prevent her from saying nice things about the boy she knew was a gentleman through and through. Anne knows Elise well enough to recognize what lay behind the un- friendly little speech. But another girl, less acute, might have taken Elise's advice very seri- ously—might have turned against the new crush simply because of the popu- lar girl's advice, It's a nasty spirit—this petty re- lvenge because of a loss in the game of ove. And it's a spirit which, if once rec- ognized by one's friends and acquaint- ances, will insure unpopularity. Don’t turn against a hoy because he has hurt your pride—unintentionally. Don’t show yourself so small as to be unable to forgive a slight to your van- ity. Rise above the slight loss in self- esteem. Show yourself big enough to laugh off the petty annoyance. Only by revealing the traits of broadmindedness and tolerance will you galn and keep real friends. (Copyright. 1926.)

There ought to be flowers where- ever there are children. The two be- long together. A flower has a message of beauty and grace and reverence that little children appreciate and older ones love. The cold weather is coming and flowers are scarcer than hen's teeth, but maybe you can save a couple of plants from the frost so a8 to have a bright spot in the house garden. There 1is a little plant that we call the Jerusalem cherry. It grows like a little tree, as dainty a little tree as you can imagine. Along about mow you set it in its pot for the Winter and If you give it reasonable care, spray the dust off its leaves, and feed it and water it the blossoms will soon appear. They do not amount to much as flowers, but after them, if you are one of the lucky gardeners, yvou have a crop of red-orange cherrles. They are more like little oranges on a tiny orange tree. A prettier little plant you would not see in a day’s march. Any child could raise one. Ageranium 1is a thrif cheerful soul that flourishes in a sunny win- dow throughout the Winter. Its leaves | have a delightful perfume and i scarlet blooms brighten the day for those who meet them. A slip set in sandy loam will grow into plant and you could have a blossom on it by Christmas. It I were a teacher in a school where there were gardens, 1 would have a Christmas flower show and introduce the child who had the best plant, raised by himself, to Santa Claus. If you can't have anything else you can have a rubber plant. If you have one please do not forget to wash its leaves with soft water. Never oil them. The poor things cannot breathe through a layer of dust and oil Neither could you. Lungs have the same function in a plant as they have in human beings, so let the rubber plant breathe. A plant is not half as troublesome as a pet dog or a cat or brd, and many a child that could not have a pet would lova dearly to raise a plant. Just one will do. You can put a shelf in some sunny window for him and start him with a geranium or a Je. rusalem cherry and see what pleasure he will got and what education he | will gather out of raising it.
