WwOoMA N’S PAGE. Beauty in Beaded Wire Work BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ;X‘HE LITTLE PLANT WITH ITS GAY BEAD FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE Beaded wire work is being revived, and in such smart ways that vogue is one of appealing beauty. We i'are all familiar with the styles of past generations, in which baskets made of | . beads strung on wire were featured, and dainty little miniatures they were. | ;iBut in the revived style it is the ! flowers themselves, and not the con- | mainers, that are the special attrac: 1*tion. The gay little flowerets made of s®mall glass beads scintillate in sun- LMight as if they were freshly cut and | the dew caught the sunbeams and gave back their sparkle. The green follage adds realism to the plants abloom in miniature jardinieres or floWer pots, in which the plants appear to-thrive from soil that often hears no resemblance to Mother Earth, but stresses some hue that furthers the orpamental value of the creation. The potted plants, in whatever type of:rontainer, may have some genuine use as well as being ornamental. Or it jnay be the container_ that serves the utilitarian purpose. But whether of-use or not, the decorative merit is ths same, One use to which the flowering plants are put is that of pin cushions. The “top soil” is of velvet, which is but a covering for wool or sawdust fogming the inside of the cushion, and thg edge close to the jardiniere may be'rimmed with a single or double row of fancy headed black or plain pifis. Such a plant is just the thing fof a dainty dresser in a boudoir or sleéping chamber. x Plants as Place Cards. Qr the jardinieres or flower pots may be wee affairs and serve as place- caj favors for a dinner table or luficheon party. The card should be snall and be tied to the main stem or’stalk of the plant in the same way as cards are attached to plants when sent from a florist. It is easy to visualize the smart beauty of such decorative place cards. BEDTIME STORIES Another Plan. Wise ia he who when he can Is ready with a second plan. —Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Brown's boy had little to say during dinner. Mother Brown ! The pot may be filled with shot or the | sand beneath the velvet soil, and then the affair would prove as delicate a paperweight as milady could find for her writing desk. These ideas are | suggested if usefulness is sought be- sides smartness in the vogue of wire flower work that is attracting atten- tion just now. For Christmas Gift. The flowers are so easy to make that they immediately attract the at | tention of those who are now planning Christmas gifts, as well as those who wish to include the ornaments in deco- rative schemes for rooms of their own or for table use at some dinner or luncheon they are giving shortly. Directions for Making. To make the flowers, use fine wire and string beads on it. Then bend the wire to form outlines of petals. Twist a center wire about the petal wires that come together in the center. On this wire string a few yellow beads. The flowers should be made of one continuous length of wire bent to form the petals, and the yellow-beaded wire should catch the loops meeting at the blossom’s certer. Leaves are formed of green-beaded wire bent to form out- lines only. You will notice that con- tours make flowers and foliage. There- fore, the speed of the work is appar- ent. Bind all stems together to form the trunk or main stem of the plant and cover by winding with green sew- |ing silk. Color Schemes. It is customary to have flowers of many hues growing on one plant, though a definite color scheme can be carried out if preferred. Flower pots may be 1% inches high for wee plants, or jardinieres or pots may be 3 per more inches high, according to the size of the plants to go in them and the use to which they are to be put.

Many a lad |sighed the day he was bridled; some moor land farmers drank themselves | to their last linen, as well as their last shilling, through sorrow for her loss But married the dame, and home she was carried, to bear rule over her home and her husband as an honest woman should. Now you must know that, though the flesh-and-blood lovers of Alexander's bonnle wife all ceased to love and to sue her after: she b camsa another’s, there were certain ad mirers who did not consider their claim at all abated, lessened by the church’s famous ob- stacle of matrimony. Certain water elves and sea fairies, who sometimes kept festival and Summer mirth in these old haunted hulks, fell in love with the well favored wite of Ma- charg, and to their plots and con- accomplish to sunder man and wife, and sundering such a man and such a wife was like sundering the green leaf from the Summer, or the fra- grance from the flower. So it fell on a time that Alexander took his half-net on his back and his steel spear in his hand, and went down to the two haunted hulks to | place his net and await the tide. The night was dark and the wind quiet. | All at once lights began to glance |and twinkle on bhoard the two haunt- ed ships from every hole and seam and presently the sound as of a hatchet employed in squaring timber | echoed far and wide.

The carpet was gone. Yes, sir, the carpet was gone. Farmer Brown’s Boy jumped to his feet and ran outside. He looked this way and he looked that way. No one was in sight.

Total day’s ration, 2,886 calories. As a matter of fact, the average | adult eats perhaps 4 ounces of proteid | (nitrogenous material, lean meat, | white of egg, cheese, the curd part of | milk, gluten, etc.) daily, and probably | digests and absorbs “into his blood | nine-tenths of it, and the excess over | his actual requirements is probably burned as fuel, just as is the regular | tuel, ohydrate. | The undigested tenth of the proteid or nitrogenous food materfal passes nto the intestine and undergoes more | or less action there before it is m the body. We have on to imagine that the | excess of proteid food an individual ordinarily consumes is in any way injurious to health. This is physiol- ogy, not fiction. Proteids of different sources differ considerably in actual nutritive value or usefulness to the body, not in the energy units or calories, but in supply- ing material for tissue reconstruction or repair and material for new con- struction or growth. The comparative biological value or utility of different proteids depends on the relative quan- tities of amino acids they’ yield on digestion, and by such a standard milk proteid (casein, cheese) ranks high along with beef and eggs; and wheat proteid fair, and cornmeal proteid | still lower, and gelatin lowest of all. It is not advisable to choose any special food proteid or to favor it in selecting a diet. Better to have a free | choice and a variety of proteid foods (oth animal and vegetable sources), as proteids from different sources sup- plement each other and insure better balance in nutrition, “So, for her children’s sake, she has e has never crled out in anguish ovi her sufferings.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BRADY, M. D. The popular notion that high pro- tein diet means excessive meat eating and that injurious effects of such diet may be remedied by “cutting out” meat and eggs is an error. If evils are produced by the eating of too much meat, they are more likely at- tributable to the deficlency of such diet in other essentials, such as vita- mins, and to failure to supplement the beef proteld from other sources, such as wheat, peas or cheese. In other words, the diet is at fault, not because it is a high meat diet, but because it is an incomplete diet. ' A ham, beef or hot-dog sandwich is more complete food than its equivalent in calories in ham alone or bread alone, and a club sandwich ylelding an equal number of calories backs the ham sandwich right off the counter as a well bal- anced meal. _The young infant needs compara- tively much more proteid than an adult. The ratio of the three food materials in human milk is something like three parts of fat, six parts of sugar, one part proteid. Nowadays the diet of an infant at the age of 6 months is usually supplemented with such foods as egg, meat, gravy, mashed or strained vegetable pulp, as peas, potatoes. The infant needs the proteids for new construction. (Covyright. 1927.) Apple-Potato Pudding.
