Somehow the bleak landscape attention to her, it didn’t matter. “Such outrageous service” sighed the chaperon of Maizie's party; “I'm so_hungry.” “Oh," cried the girl whose head had been turned. “the duke will bring us breakfast.” George cast an odd look as he passed down the aisle and smoothed his crisp linen jacket, grinning toothfully. The duke came back first, scowling with the exertion of making his way through the ice-topped snow: “Beastly hard, you know. The other men couldn't keep up with me.” Maizie regarded him incredulous Iy, awe vanishing to be replaced b hungry anger: “But surely you fitted his mood perfectly and he | hoped that the predicted blizzard | would arrive.

He wished that the sight-secing party had not stopped in Montreal. and | wished, even more, that the Windsor hotel had not heen selected. The | ice palace in the park opposite the | hotel had been a gorgeous sight with its gleaming blocks of ice glittering | from the lights within the chill edi- | fice, but he felt as though his ro- mance had been chilled by the glitter of the frozen palace and the allure of aristocracy and he longed to get back to New York. | “Ha talks so beautifully, don't you | think?" Maizie spoke dreamily. | “Who speaks beautifully?" de- manded Jim, loudly. Maizie giggled. Just then the train butcher came through. “Better buy yvour popcorn now.” he velled. “Might be snowed | under pretty soon.” The nobleman waved the boy aside nnm[m\lfll\‘ v stuff, don't you now.” he drawled to his companion “What did he say?" asked Mnizie, but Jim, buying two boxes, refused to_answer. | Next morning the occupants of the | sleeper Minnehaha awoke to find | themselves at a standstill.

I wonder if he wouldn't— The remainder of her speech was lost as her girl-listener vanished into | the dressing room to curl her hair and powder while the men were gone, “I expect the duke will have a splendid breakfast cooked for us.” Maizie said “us” when she really meant “me,” but, as no one paid any BEAUTY Weight and Health. 1 suppose T ought to base dieting on good 1o0ks, this being primarily a de- partment to discuss ways and means of increasing one's potential good looks. But weight and health have #0 much to do with each other and health and looks are so intertwined that it's hard to separate any of them. Weigh what you ought, and you'll be healthy—healthier than if overwelght or underweight at least, and you must be good-looking. There are so many fancy ways of reducing that I could string off a_hun- dred, and if I wrote chats about them all we'd never get time to discuss cold ereams and how to unfreckle a nose the sun has touched too ardently, and such frivolities. The one best way, to my mind, is to cut own on your food acientifically, eating enough of all kinds of foods to keep you in good health, to give the body the fats Athough you need little enough of these), the carbohydrates, the starch d the protein it requires. If you go on an acid diet you'll hurt your sys- tem; if you eat too much protein you ean get protein poisoning: if you re- @uce too quickly (an acid and starva- tion diet, not properly supervised, can reduce vou a pound a day, but that's harmtul), you'll have wrinkles where u;‘-l- flesh has shrunk from under the #kin.

Nettle rash is the old name for hives. Urticaria is the medical name for hives. Urticaceae are a family of plants having stinging hairs on the leaves. Some hives are just little baby hives, scarcely more pretentious than mosquito bites, In fact a mos- quito bite is a typical hive, the only difference between the mosquito bite and the hive proper being that we usually know exactly what produced the mosquito bite, A caterpillar differs from a_member | in distribut- | ing ability, Get a lively caterpillar under your shirt and you'll break out | with hives for miles around, the cater- | pillar having a million hairs and eve: ha'r a stinger. All of these irritan are proteins, whether of vegetable or animal origin. Numerous food proteins will produce hives when they are eaten by indi- viduals who happen to be sensitized. We are not yet able to explain this sensitivity, but we know a little about it and we will know all about it when the right young thinker comes along to straighten out the tangle and bridge the gaps in our present knowl- | edge. We know that various animal and vegetable proteins (nitrogeno compounds) are likely to produce hives | or asthma or some similar disturbance if they find their way into the blood undigested or through other portals than normal digestion. Thus any serum injected under the skin is like- 1y to cause more or less trouble of this kind. But we're waiting for the genius or student to explain why certain indi- viduals break out a fine rach if they take the least mite of quinine, sali- cylic acid (as in “aspirin”), opium, chloral, senna (present in scores of | “herb teas”) or varfous other medi- cines. 5 We are not so puzzled when pa- tlents develop hives after indulging in cheese, lobster, mushrooms, fish | roe, strawberries, oatmeal, pickles, v, mutton or a dozen other good . They are “sensitized,” they have an “idiosyncrasy,” or else some | part of the digestive process ‘has M. D. slipped a cog, and so the offending protein has passed through into the blood incompletely digested. So, as doctors so often do, we start treatment with a brisk cathartic, say, a bottle of effervescing cltrate of magnesia, or any form of salts pre- ferred. Then a “low” diet, which is also rather mean, for a day or two— the less food the better. If the stom- ach misbehaves the least bit the pa- tient had better take half-teaspoonful doses of prepared chalk or 10-grain tablets of calclum carbonate every two or three hours. 1If the stomach is quiet probably better internal medi- cine than chalk is calcium lactate or calcium_chloride, 20 to 30 grains of either with a glassful of water, three times A day for a few day t the stomach resents this, why, don't in- sist. but toddle back to the chalk or calcium carb. For velief of the itching the well known calamin lotion is excellent — zinc , oxid and calamin, each half ounce, horax and glycerin, each two drams, lime water six ounces and five per ‘cent phenol solution (one to 20 carbolic acid, the strongest carbolic solution druggists may legally sell without prescription), two ounces. Shake well and dab on the skin with the hand as often as necessary for| the itching. (Copyright, 1027.)
