If Nan had been a more stolid type of woman she might not have suf- fered as she did. If she had not been proud and possessed of a conscience she would have been content to he happy with her baby and merely to accept the luxuries with which she was surrounded. Many women could have done it and made themselves content. A woman less fine would have merely shrugged her shoulder: Nan worried. After the birth of Muriel the doctor had_expected her to gain. He pre- scribed a tonic for her, not liking the waxen look of her and the slender fragility of her body. But she did not gain. She remained ax slender as a wand, and her eyes continued to wear that look of brooding myste It was only when she was quite alone with Muriel that she relaxed. She grew to look forward to bathing hours. The feel of the warm, healthy little hody was so marvelous that it almost brought tears to her eyes. Then afterward, when Muriel was warmly wrapped up in a soft blanket, Nan would hold her while she had her bot- tle. The modern doctor did not believe in coddling a child. The competent nurse in giving her last instructions had been firm about th “It’s bad for a haby to hold her too much. They v quickly grow to want it, and then vou'll have trouble.

What we call Roman stripes— stripes made of a number of bright colors—were known and used be- fore the Romans. They were called “Roman” hecause of the fondness evinced by the Italian peasants about Rome for this particular type of material. And now Roman stripes have been revived.

That was generally when she was stimulated by anticipation. DPer- haps they might be going to the theater, some play that Nan had read about and was interested in. But she never ate much. Martin, eating healthily from oysters, through roast, vegetables, lad and dessert, would wonder how she could possibly exist on so little. He wanted to press her to eat, but he didn’t dare. Somehow he felt that she was doing her best. Perhaps he dimly under- stood how she felt. One night they went to an informal party at Helen Sheridan’s. Martin wasn’t particularly inter- ested, but Nan was more excited than <he had heen in a long time, and not for the world would he have let her suspect his own feelings. In her heart of hearts Nan knew that her anticipation of the evening would probably end in realization. She was 80 nervous these da and vet nervous excitement seemed the only thing that could stimulate her at all. But when she reasoned the thing out to herself, she knew that her ex- citement was short-lived hecause there was always the end of the evening to look forward to. No evening, no mat- ter how pleasant, lasts forever, and soon she would be wrapped in her coat and going down in the elevator with Martin. And once in the limou- sine all her nameless fears would rise about her like dark shadows. Do what she would she could not dispel them. She would steal a glance at Martin. She did like him so much.

TWENTY-SEVEN BY CLYDE CALLISTER. Do you agree with the statement that a woman of 27 is too old to feel or to be capable of love? A character in one of Jane Austen's novels ex- presses this opinion which has since been widely quoted. History. however, proves that she was all wrong. It was not until she was past 27 that the beautiful Eugenie de Montijo, Countess of Teba, became the bride of Napoleon III, Emperor of France. A rather studious, introspective man of he was undoubtedly very much in with this young woman who added to her Spanish inheritance a goodly infusion of Scotch blood. An- other example to show that the woman of 27 is not too old for romance—Mary Pickford was that age when she mar- ried Dougles Fairbanks. George Sand, the most famous of all woman writers of France, went to Paris when she was that age and all her famous love affairs took place thereafter. At that time, Aurore Dudevant—for such was her real name—had passed nine rather un- eventful years of married life at No- hant, in Berri, in the center of France, and was the mother of a son and a daughter. Although she had up to that time been merely passive in her endurance of an uncongenial husband, she then took steps to arrange an amicable sort of separation. Provided with an allowance of only $300 a year, she took her daughter and started off to Paris to seek her fortune. There she lived for a time in a garret, some- times too poor to buy fuel to light a fire. Constance Talmadge is an interest- ing example today of the woman who has just turned She is three years younger t. her sister Norma. Martha Custis was a widow of 27 at the time of her marriage to George Washington, the first President. They settled amid‘: peace and plenty on the estate of Mount Vernon and spent 14 rather uneventful years together before there was any thought of the events that were to bring lasting fame to both. Ida Saxton—wife of Willlam McKinley—was another presidential bride of 27. Frances H. Burnett was 27 when she wrote “That Lass o' Lowrie's, and Rosa Bonheur, the celebrated French animal painter, had established har enviable reputation at that age. (Covyright. 1927.) EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talk on Diet The Right Food Is Sane Diet. A prize fighter who must make a certain weight to enter the ring, through exercise brings his weight down to the figure he wishes for the 3 p.m. weigh-in. When the fight takes place at 8 that night the fighter, after an afternoon's rest, will be sev- eral pounds heavier. Proper diet is the safest, most sen- sible and permanent means of weight reduction. One correspondent wrote that she had been trying to reduce on the calorie theory, combined with rolling. She had lost some weight, but was not satisfled. And she had seen no results in reduction until she began to diet; her rolling exercise was not beneficial without diet. This lady de- cided to follow my suggestions, and recently wrote a grateful letter ac- knowledging her success in reducing overweight of long standing by eating a proper diet with a minimum of fat- making foods. Exercise will, of course, take weight off. But exercise will not keep weight off. An athlete can lose sev- eral pounds in a workout. But the weight will not stay off unless he diets. The minute the regime of ex- ercise stops flesh appears. Several years ago a very bushy, bulgy fat man was in charge of the delivery room of a big newspaper. Tony was on the job early and late. Twenty times a day he energetically climbed the stairs. He shunted heavy bundles of newspapers lo walting the Best Medicine, newsboys. He carted newspapers to the delivery wagons. Yet, with all this heavy work, Tony was very much overweight. He was an Italian who loved his good dinner as a reward for his day's labors. Good natured Tony was the last person in the world you'd expect to think food had any relation to making fat at all. The paper was sold and I lost track of Tony. About a year ago I met him. He had lost about 35 pounds, and was very trim-looking He had decided to diet. was clear and firm. He had no bay window. He could not praise dieting enough. He was a positive example of the fact that exercise does not take off fat as long as the diet is wrong. Diet is the essential thing. Exercise without diet will not per- manently reduce excess weight.

MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. A Bedtime Reminder. One mother sa One way of getting a child's atten- tion when you wish to make a sug- gestion, or to reprimand him, is to write him a note about it. Somehow the reading of the words seems to ke a greater impression than if he d heard them spoken. If the matter is something to be remembered or pondered over, lay your note on the child’s pillow so that he may read it just before going to sleep, a time when the mind is particularly responsive to whatever is put into it. (Copyright, 19 Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, Mothers are convinced that the baby must have milk in some form in his daily diet in order to grow and de- velop as he should. They are per- haps not so well aware that this neces- sity for milk holds good until the child is up to the ’teens and beyond. And these are the reasons wh First, because milk contains every element for sustaining and nourisk ing life. The baby takes it alone for at least five months of his life and flourishes on it. It contains protein (the right kind)—the one ential ele- ment needed to repair and rebuild the body cells, the new ones which are added as the child grows, and the old ones which are broken down and need rebuilding and repairing. It contains minerals, chiefly lime (caleium), necessary to make the child’s teeth white, shining, and strong and to give stiength and rigidity to the bones. Without the right minerals the bones remain soft and bend or are pushed out of shape, while teeth crumble and deca The cream or milk is the finest form of fat. The active child needs this fat so that he may add fat to pad his bones, and as ammunition against colds and diseases. Milk contains carbohydrates (sugars and starches). These furnish the ener- gy so that the baby can be as active he pleases, and also the heat to keep up his bodily temperature. That is one reason we need less sugars and starches in Summer than in Winter, the child is less energetic and he does not need as much heat in order to retain his normal temperature. In addition to all of these food ele- ments there are the elusive vitamins. Milk contains all that are necessary for complete nutrition. We need not know what these are nor what their lack may result in: if we give the child the proper amount of fresh cow’s milk we will know that he is getting sufficient of these ele- ments. Milk which is boiled loses an im- portant vitamin and this is then sup- plied by orange or tomato juice. Milk which cannot be taken whole and has to have water added to it so the baby can digest it must also have additional sugar added to it to mak up the loss by dilution, and because the human baby needs more sugar than the small calf. The older child cannot possibly get enough growth foods in his gener- al diet. He must have milk also. This has been proved by scientists who have experimented with the feed- ing of thousands of animals in order to show that without milk a diet can- not be perfect. The child of one year needs one quart of milk daily. in his diet. At two years he can get along with only a pint to drink, if more milk is used in cooking his foods. Up to 10 years of age no child should have less than a pint of milk a day and a quart is even better.
