Well, we are perhaps through with the over-skinny models—those flesh- less, undernourished creatures who have exploited uncushioned bones for some years.

It has taught a lot of fat people the truth about their fat and it has taught the superlatively sylph-liké ones the folly of their sylphyness. In other words, the whole episode has focused attention upon the importance of ratighal eating a~ the proper relation between weight, ‘ood and health. However, while the number of wom- en interested in reducing to senaible proportions is as great ever, there is a growing army of thin ones who want to put on weight. Skinniness, if not caused by disease, is usually the result of lack of proper food. Of course, overactivity, over- work, can cause loss of weight. Heredity, worry, fussiness, fretfulness can wear*away the precious pounds. But as a rule it is due to insufficient eating. 2 There are two sorts of thin people. One group is made up of people who work very hard and do not get enough nourishment to replace the energy used up. The others are those whose appetite is too quickly satisfled—whose desire to eat is satisfied before the body has taken in enough fuel, whose eating results too quickly in a “stuffy’ feeling. There is really a third group who may be eating plentifully but are not eating the right foods. Those who suffer from stuffiness may take a light luncheon of choco- late or malted milk and then a cup of chocolate between breakfast and luncheon and another one between luncheon and dinner. Some light nourishing collation before going to bed might also help. However, those who think they are eating abundantly and still continue thin should examine their diet to see if they are eating the right foods. Be sure in such a case to take up a sup- ply of milk. Take it in soups, des. serts, sauces, cereals. Put plenty of butter on the fresh vegetables. Rice, potatoes, macaroni, olive oil; butter cakes with both butter and sirup, cornbread, fruit jellies, jams, marma- lades. Eat fruits that are rich in| suga figs, raisins, dates, grape?, ba- nanas, etc. Of course, he sure that these foods are properly balanced. Do not eat too mueh of one kind of food without re- gard to supplying all the other ele- ments the hody needs.

And It seems to me a certain num- { ber of you women would do well to consider the ancient saying concern- ing the folly of a move from a red- hot frying pan into an even warmer fire. For there are a gréat many pa- thetic letters coming in this week from sad little girls posed right on the edge of a comparatively comfort- able frying pan, preparing for a dive nto a really unpleasant fire. They write with lots of girlish confidence, sometimes. Anne says: “I've had a pretty bad time all my life and I'm taking the first opportunity of escaping from the existence I'd been leading. We're out on a farm miles from anywhere, and I've had my only contact with life from my books. Things have always been dull out here. Wae've all had to work hard, and even when we wanted to play there was nothing much to do. As far as I looked ahead. there seemed nothing but drudgery and toil. 1 didn't see how I was ever go- ing to live at all. Now there's heen a charnge. i “A man came here to work and he wants me to marry him. He and 1 are good friends and I like him enough to take a chance with him. e lives in a town where I'd be near movies and theaters and things that interest me.

Am 1 doing wrong to marry thie man whom I don't really love—but who STAR, WASHINGTO LIFTED HE SAID Mark Byrton returns from @ frip abroad means an escape for me?” An escape into what, Anne? Oh, it's hard to have to disappoint a girl like Anne—a girl who eagerly grasps her chance to get away from drudg- ery and toil! It's hard to urge her not to take the magnificent chance—to beg that she will continue that dreadfuily dull lite of hers until such time as a real escape is offered to her. But it has to he done by some one. For Anne, like a lot of poor kids, is only going out of one form of drudgery into another—perhaps a worse one, if she doesn't love this planning to go away with. Housework and babies are tiresome even more wearying to the girl who has married purely out of a desire to get away from monotonous toil. Marriage isn't a vacation under the best of circumstances. Even to the fairly well-to-do, mar- riage means for the wife responsibili- ties and wearisome household tasks, which irk and annoy her if she isn't in love with the man she married. If Anne were really in love there might be some foundation for her hopé that marriage would see the end of drudgery. For love mak hearable, some- times, what wouldsbe unendurable drudgery without love. Anne’s safest course is to hang on to her present position, and give up the idea that a loveless marriage will bring her the gay happiness she craves. (Convrieht. 1927.)

One mother says: 1 can double the length of wear of the baby’s woolen shirts or bands by sewing on pieces of strong wool flan- nel where the diapers are to be pinned. With the modern way of put- ting on square folded diapers, which are pinned to the shirt on each side of the front the strips of fannel should extend entirely across the front of the shirt—both fronts, if it is double breasted.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Paradise Alley.” This old favorite, which once was sung in every house and every street whose strains were ground out by every music box and every hurdy- gurdy, is said to have had its origin in a real inspiration such as is usually the product of accident and unex- pected circumstance., According to the story, the author and composer of the song, Walter H. Ford and John W. Bratton. were in Philadelphia together, Ford appear- ing there in a vaudeville skit and ! ratton conducting the orchestra for p to Chinatown.” Actor and musician took a walk together in fhe downtown section of the city and at the entrance to a narrow side street near the ferry they saw the sign, “Paradise Alley.” Curiously investigating the lane with the intriguing name, the men found a street full of children, play- ing at various games. Prominent in a group was a big girl with golden hair, a sort of hig sister to several smailer children The men were impressed by the pic- | ture, which struck their artistic sen- sibilities as good material for a xong According to the story that comes down to us with reference to " dise Alley.” they w their hotel and wrote it—Ford verses telling of a “sweet maid with ! bright golden hair, who was known radise Alley,” and Bratton the music which gave them melodious expression. It was at Brat- ton's suggestion that the ‘“‘Angel” was changed, to the “Sunshine” of | Paradis Alley. They held their manuscript untii their return to New York, where they found a publisher in whose office | Lottie Gilson, the well known charac- ter singer, hearing Rratton playing it, decided then and there to make it her next number. It was on the stage of the Casino Roof Garden in New York City that she introduced it, and “Paradize Alley” Immediately became a popular hit. (Copyright. 1827.)

Irene Unmasks. With Jessica’s departure, Irene's glad certainty suddenly deserted her. Mark wgs #@ ttrangely silent. At first she had had visions of being alone with him. She had intended to suggest that they wait till the next day to depart. But there was some- thing disconcerting about him, some- thing that robbed her of her assur- ance. Of course, there was no reason why they shouldn't wait till the next day. 1f Mrs. Morse had been suffi- clent chaperon for Mark and Jessica she would serve very well for Mar and herself. They had retuyned room and Irene had flung herself into a chair. Mark walked restlessly ahout the place, looking out of windows into the darkness, apparently absorbed in himself and his thoughts. After a time she spoke: “What is it, Mark?" He turned to her eagerly. “I'm disappointed, I guess. You see, 1 had expected to keep her from making a fool of herseif.” “You don’t like this man?” “Like him? 1 should say not. Do vou? Why, that child has dreams— imagination. Shke ought to make a wonderful woman. She has infinite possibilities. 1've failed with her. Of 1 told her aunt that a wild to the living but she wouldn't listen to me."” And then Irene knew the truth, quite simply and suddenly, as though she must have known it subcon- sciously for some time.

And then, as was quite natural, Irene’'s thought turned to herself. Would she be very unhappy giving him up? Just how much did he mean in her life? She ‘had thought, of course, that it might be very charm- ing to be his wife. But did she care so much that to do without him would make her miserable? Since her meet- ing with him she had met two other men who had been agreeable and charming to her. One in particular che had liked very much. She had felt, as women always do, that he cared for her, but she had been care-. ful not to encourage him, because she had felt that Mark's intentions were serfous. Mark had a glamour about him, due perhaps to his foreign travels. Aside from that, would her life be Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. T.

The baby seems to have no other signs of rickets, but his left leg curves in when he walks. Is this enough oil daily to cure this trouble? The baby refuses to eat vegetables. | He gets a quart of lactose dally and cereal, moigtened with prune or fig juice. He takes beef’ broth about twice a week. I will appreciate any suggestions Answer—The amount of cod liver oil should be enough. In addition I would try to give the baby a sun bath dally, letting the sun pour on his amall le v The .dief should be as perfect possible and I would suggest write me for the feeding leaflet as you s0 that you can check up on what vou | are now giving. Manage to use the vegetables, either in a custard, or in soup. Even if you strain them out of the soup the baby will get the benefit of the juices of the vegetables and he needs this. He should have one egg daily and either orange or tomato juice. All of these combined with the cod liver ofl and daily sunlight will quickly effect a cure. A reader writes: “My haby is 20 months old and cannot wn'k. She can walk in a walker. but wh let loose her hands she sits down on the floor and will not try. Pleage tell me what to do. She has slept all night since she was 5 months old and has never had any trouble with her food. has also had cod liver oil Answer—Read above answer to Mrs. T. L., as in some ways it fits vour case also. If the baby is strong enough to walk with a walker she should be strong enough to walk alone. Obviously something must bhe wrong with her diet, even though there has never been anything that seemed wrong. Follow the above di- rections. There is really little else that can be done, since the baby has the power to move her legs, but just does not seem strong enough to stand on them without support. It sounds very much like rickets.

Did it ever occur to you that you'rs head over heels in love with Jessica. Yeou ar you know. Think it over.” Mark stood there staring at her, an expression of the most utter amaze- ment on his face, He opened his lips to protest, but hefore he could speak Irene went on talking: “I must have known it before, but tonight convinced me. You're not so much worried about Jessica's wreck- ing her life as- you are thinking of what it’s going to mean to do without her. You can't stand the thought of her being in Ray Townley's arms, of his having the right to kiss her. You Mark, and you don't want me that way. Don’t be a fool—admit it!
