WOMAN’S PAGE New Hats Which Hide the Ears BY MARY MARSHALL. Your barber may cut your hair so a8 to leave your ears ruthlessly ex- posed, but your milliner will make a to dream about the ear tab will be considered the really normal place to wear flower trimming on a hat. Some of the new hats look a little like Napoleon's high cocked hat and the ear tabg are extensions of the up- standing front plece that is applied to resemble the enormous cocked brim of the original. The most usual hat of the ear-tab variety is of felt with the ear pieces resembling the points of a crescent curving outward over the ears and cheeks.

Tocks of hair extending over ears and down on the cheeks are, of course, no longer considered smart, but if you do insist on these slightly old- fashioned adornments you may have the satisfaction at least of knowing that they will be wel lhidden by one of the new hats. Some of these little hats give quite & nun-like appearance to the face, for they are fitted very closely over the MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Grapefruit. Dry Cereal with cream. Sausages. Bran_Muffins.

Suzanne Talbot is one of the French milliners who favor this new silhouette. It is quite impor- tant, however, that these little hats should be shaped precisely to the head, following the outline of the eyebrows + —a line which varies enormously with different individuals. Only a very narrow, even line of forehead should show’ between eyebrows and hat. Sometimes the ear tabs are little extensions of the felt or other material entirely covered with an artificial flower of some sort—and sometimes only one ear is covered in this way, the t;lhorh being left exposed.

EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day's Daily Talks on Diet The Right Food Is the Best Medicine Prevention of Rickets. Breast-fed babies have, by far, the nursing mother that often her health and teeth suffer. Plenty of direct sunlight (or, if that is impossible, the artificial sunlight), nourishing food containing an abun- dance of calcium, phosphorus and iron are necessary for the nursing mother not only for her own safety but that she may furnish her baby with proper nourishment. Also, some experiments on animals 'm to show that when nursing mothérs take a diet rich in vitamin A and calcium the baby is protected through the proper diet of its mother. Butter fat is rich in vitamin A. So is cod liver oil. Milk has calcium, has plenty of A and B vitamins, while C is variable. Also, the whole grains, used either as cereals or in bread- stuffs, are rich in lime, iron, phos- phorus and the vitamins. Many vege. tables supply vitamin A, while all vegetables and fruits are exception- ally valuable for vitamins and mineral salts. ‘The nursing mother must be prop- erly safeguarded by plenty of fresh air, plenty of direct sunlight (or the rays from the quartz-mercury vapor lamp), plenty of milk, cream, butter (perhaps also cod liver oil), and other wholesome foods, such as eggs, per- haps a moderate amount of meat, to- gether with whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

The baby's health 18 too important to make a change to artificial feeding without the advice of an authority on child care. Dr. Alfred A. Hess of the Columbia University College of' Physicians and Surgeons reported to the American Medical Association that a large num- ber of the breast-fed babies met with in his experience in the climate of New York had rickets. But the experiments conducted by Dr. Hess seem to show that the sub- stances in human milk which pre- vent rickets are greatly increased by irradiation of nursing mothers with ultra-violet rays. Direct sunlight fall- ing upon anyone, of course, floods that person with these ultra-violet rays. Though direct sunlight (that is, not coming through a glass window) is most beneficial, the experiments con- ducted by Dr. Hess seem to show that positive results are given by the ultra- violet rays of the quartzmercury + vapor lamp. Further, these experiments seem to show that irradiation of the nursing mother not only protects the baby from rickets but also will help to keep her own nutrition normal.

It would seem, really, that then, if ever, etiquette should play a part in the home life, for I think it makes unhappiness for a wife to have to take less from her husband in thoughtfulness than she did in the en- gaged period. My husband is a good man, but it seems as though he ex- pects to ignore me in many matters, and he is rude to me. I excuse him, thinking I should count my blessings, but if you could tell me about what I should expect as a wife in the way of eitquette from my husband, then I would not feel that I am unjust or over-exacting in what I want from him. I hope I have made you un- derstand. One mother says: Respectfully, yours, L.L.C. My little daughter used to let the time go by without doing many of the | This is a rather large order—for much thay be sald to advantage on the subject of etiquette in the home. But one thing Is sure, the success of home life depends upon the courtesies that are observed therein. And courte- sies are a product of selflessness! May I suggest that those of us who expect the most receive ghe most—and the best—for to expect much is to receive much. If you expect a great deal of him, and let the expectancy take the form of a dignified understanding of this man, you may find that gradually, very gradually, he will reach up and up, to meet your expectations. Beware of nagging, and, above all, beware of tears, for tears spell defeat and disappaintment. As for the nice details that may be observed by the husband, he should, let us say, to begin with, make a definite effort to understand his wife, that they may exist in harmony together. He might even try to give her an insight into his outside in- terests, and talk over with her the little things of the day that could be made of interest to them both. He should at all times remember that to have won a good wife is not to keep her, and that the winning will g0 on as’long as they both shall live, and that the little things that were attractive in him in the beginning must contniue, lest she feel cheated. He should, for instance, still find it a pleasure to assist her with hef chair when they go to the table, and to things-that she really wanted to do. She forgot school assignments, put off little duties, and even neglected real pleasures. She was merely heedless. 1 bought her a pretty note book. On a page for each day she sets down all her regular doings, leaving space for the odd ones. Then she checks off as she does them. The little system is changing her way entirely. (Copyright. 1927.) FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS. Food Specialist. There is scarcely a diet sermon that does not remind us of the fact that we must have a certain proportion of bulky foods. Usually these directions go on to say that food containing roughage or cellulose is the particular type on which we depend for this bulk. Up to a certain point, this statement is true. Like so many other statements, however, it should be qualified, else it will be misleading. Important as it is to have some roughage or waste matter in our dlet, this does not tell the whole story. The presence of roughage or cellulose or waste matter is usually connected with healthful action of the intestines. ‘We are warned frequently that con- stipation will surely result if the diet lacks roughage. So far, so good, but if the diet directions are to be fully effective they must go on from this point. Bulk as bulk s fully as important as bulk in the form of roughage or waste matter. In other words, it is quite possible that one who is suffering from, let us say, inactive bowels may not require actual roughage in his food. The condition of inactive in- testinal muscles may be better taken care of in such cases by the simple process of eating more food. Naturally such a statement must be qualified also. Merely to run riot in eating quantities of food may easily do more harm than good. We should learn to preserve a nice balance. . One quite frequently finds individ- uals who are suffering from constipa- tion and say that bran or other rough- age does not help them. Investiga- tion will often bring to light the fact hat these persons have merely added a spoonful of bran to the diet which in itself is inadequate for the require- ments of ‘the body. Often this condition is brought about by a sluggish muscular action in the stomach. The normal supply of digestive aclds is apt to be low. Muscular action is fmpaired and the natural conclusion {s that one must eat very sparingly. Certainly, he must eat with sufficlent care not to over- load the weak stomach. On the other hand merely to add bran or other rough food to the diet may accomplish nothing, since the bran may lodge in some weak spot in the intestines and cause Irritation. Such conditions as these are frequently rectified by the simple process of eating more food and taking more exercise.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. Shekels. When we say of a man that he is always on the lookout for shekels, we mean that he never lets slip an op- portunity to make a dollar. ‘“Shekel,” in othér words, is a jocuse expression for money. 3 The term shekel is of biblical origin. The word itself comes to us from the Hebrew “shequel,” meaning to weigh, and the shekel was an ancient weight and coin used by the Jews and by other ancient nations of the same stock. The shekel was coined in three metals—gold, silver and copper. The gold shekel weighed 133 grains, the silver shekel, 224 grains, and the copper shekel, 900 grains. ‘The approximate values of the coins in our money would be, for the gold shekel, $5; for the silver shekel, 60 cents, and for the copper shekel, 3 cents.

Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder and combine with the sugar. Add this to the corn meal mixture and then add the melted margarin. Beat again -and fold in the stifiy beaten egg whites. Bake about 5 minutes so that the waffles will remain tender. - Rice By SHIRLEY RODMAN WILLIAMS. TH! fields in the Orient where rice is grown have been called “Mud Pie Farms.” ‘They are small with a little mud wall to hold the shallow water in the field. ‘The fields are flooded by power furnished by human tread-mills, or buffalos op- erating a crude pump. Men, women and children set out the tiny rice plants and weed them by hand. When the grain is ripe the threshing is done by hand beat- ing. Then women and children separate grain from the chaff by shaking it up and down in shallow pans. In this primitive manner 97 per cent of the supply of this most delicious and nourishing grain is given to the world, in a day which we ‘are accustomed to think of as super-mechanical and efficient.

From the time she was old enough to walk, Stella got out of doing things. She was simply a born expert in the art of dodging work or responsibility of any sort. At school, she refused any position of trust which might be offered to her. She left decision to other people. ‘When some important step was to be taken in her sorority, she dodged the issue, hurried away into another room where she wouldn't have to take part in the solemn discussion. She hated taking things back to shops—that is, exchanging them to make a smaller purchase. If she bought the wrong kind of gro- ceries for mother, she refused to take them back and ask the clerk for a re- fund. It made her nervous, set her teeth on edge to have to ask favors of the clerks. And she usually wheedled people into doing the unpleasant or the re- sponsible things for her. e Other people were resentful. Girls in her crowd envied her capacity for getting out of the nasty, petty little tasks which all must face sooner or later—envied the happy laugh with which she shoved off responsibilities and made somebody else do all the thinking. But when Stella married, people stopped envying her. She used to wail 80 miserably even her keen enemies couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity. Every day brought a fresh and be wildering crisis. She had no experi- ence in meeting situations of any im- portance. She'd never taken an important de- cision in her life. The problems of household budgets, of food, of meeting tradesmen and workmen nearly drove her mad. It was impossible for her to get anything done even with a good serv- ant, for she shirked managing the servant properly. She dreaded telling the maild that dinner had been badly cooked—she hadn't the nerve to complain to the butcher that the meat was tough. She was inefficient and thoroughly unhappy. Her young husband realiz- ed that his home was being badly man- aged, and this didn't make him any more tender and loving. His constant firritation and worry 8ot on his wife's nerves—she consid- ered herself a neglected and mis- understood wife. She was nothing but a lazy kid who had been brought face to face with the fact’ that she’d never learned any- thing about the real business of life before. All of which is just to point out the fact that it's a bad habit to get in the way of dodging the unpleasant tasks— the rather important little decisions which we are called on to make once in a while. Unpleasant as they may be, they serve a purpose in fitting us for whatever work we may choose later on. ‘We must face responsibility some day. Why not face it efficiently? We can do this only by training ourselves on small tasks and problems right now. (Copyright, 1927.) Mimi will lad te inquiri ot vl R ele to sneveg ey pgaitr addressed envelope is inclosed. Rarebit.

Everyday Law Cases Can Maker Refuse Payment on Check in Hands of Third Person? BY THE COUNSELOR. ‘When John Layman got a check for $60 from Norman Brown, he went over to his tailor and bought an over- ocoat. After selecting the garment, John tendered the check in payment. The tailor did not think much of John's financial standing, but was aware that Brown had a good bank account. He accepted the check and deposited it. To his surprise, it was returned, marked, “Payment stopped.” Brown immediately received a call from the tailor. “What's the idea?"” he was asked. Brown explained. “I gave the check to Layman in return for merchandise I bought from him. After I pald him, I discovered that I did not get what I had ordered, and I therefore had payment stopped.” “You may not have gotten value from Layman,” replied the tallor, “but I sold him a coat on the strength of your check. I can't collect from him, so I intend holding you for the amount.” The differences between Brown and the tailor were aired in court. The court held Brown liable, fol- lowing the gemeral rule: “A holder in due course—that is, one who takes a negotiable instru- ment, complete and regular on iis face, before maturity, in good faith and for value, holds the instrument free from any defect of title of prior parties and free from defenses avail- able to prior parties among them- selves—may enforce payment of the instrument for the full amount there- of against all parties thereon.” (Convright 1027 ) BRUNETTES NowYou Can Have The White Skin of Blondes Now you can_safs en your skin.
