Rapid and Sudden Fashion Changes BY MARY There is every reason to believe that ‘within the next few years at least rapid cl in fashion will take place.

The prcblem of bringing last season’s | evening dress up-to-date is mainly one | of |enfthenln‘ the skirt, because there | 1s no Tonger any option’ in the matter of skirt lengths. Many of the new evening dresses are made with a flounce of pleated net ex- tending from below tne hips to the instps. This is a good fashion to fcl- low in your skirt lengthening task. The slip should be lengthcned nearly to the ankles and finished with a two or three inch edge of net. For the pleated flounce you will need a straight piece of net or point d'esprit to match the top of the dress. This should be about four or four and a half yards around to al’ow enough for the pleating, and should be straight and even all around. Some of the new trailing evening skirts are sheorter in the front than in the back, but gencrally speaking the uneven hemline is a thing of the past. (Copyright. 1930.) . Salmon in Shells.

By correcting the com- monest cause of complexion troubles— ‘constipation—it tends to clear the skin. ‘There are, of course, other ways of ac- complishing the same result, including | diet, regularity of habit, exer- cise and the relaxation of nervous ten- sions.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA A combination of furniture which would be charming for hall, living room or dining room is shown.in the accom- panying illustration, and it is one which could be used with equal grace in an apartment or a house. The table shows the influsnce of the William and Mary period of design, and the mirror is of that simple type so prevalent during the Queen Anne pe- riod, the frame being finished in red lacquer with design in black and gold. The table and mirror shown here are ested for the hall;4if used in the living room, instead of the bowl of flowers, thers might be a desk set and palr of candlesticks, with a small pic- ture at each side of the mirror to broaden the wall treatment. For the dining room, this table and mirror might be placed between two windows or doorways and us:d as a serving table. It would be especially interesting if a simply designed silver or bronze wall bracket were placed at | each side of the mirror. With a fine | linen scarf and beautiful silver or crys- | tal. this table would be prized by the most. fastidious hostess. | (Copyright. 1930.)

Even those who do dream a great deal cannot recall hall of their drcams. Dreamiing has long been known to be connected in some way with one's state of health.

It may be stated as a fact that edu- cated reople dream more frequently than do the uneducated. Furthermore, their dreams are more elaborate and they are able to recall their dreams with' greater accurecy and vividness. Those who from day to day carry heavy responsibilities remember their ms very accurateiy. Sometimes they have difficulty n separating their dream images from their actual waking images. It was the kings and princes of old who patronized the soothsayers | and dream interpreters. One’s waking thoughts and hopes sometimes turn out the way cne wants them to.

In my time I've bungled my good share of cases. Fortunately I never cut off the wrong leg or took out the wrong eye, but what I mean bungled. Once a patient came with keloids over the breastbone. Keloids are heaped-up scars. The patient com- plained that they pained more or less constantly. _Kelolds have a tendency to recur. In this instance they bhad developed from blisters—the patient had blistered the chest with mustard oil in a nostrum that gullible folk use when they should use homely mustard paste. I was young and courageous, so T dis- sected out the portion of skin involved, drew the edges together with sutures and applicd a suitable retaining dress- ing and bandage around the chest.

The Before You Marry. ‘While en route we picked up an out. of-town newspaper and read with in- terest the replies given a reporter who asked folks on the street, “Do you save and how much?” Of six persons interviewed &l but one, & man, stated they saved. Their savings ranged from 10% to 35% of their salaries. One young woman, a bookkeeper, gave a reason for saving that is up: permost in most women’s minds. In her own words, she saves because ‘when she marries and settles down she will have enough to buy her trous- ‘This young woman stated that she saved 10% of her weekly salary. suming that her income is $1200 a year and that she works and saves for three to five years before marrying, it is possible for her to have on hand on her bridal day a good sum of money. Of course, few of us know the real value of cash until we feel an urgent need of it. Another woman interviewed, married and a clerk, apparently has known this need.

If the doctor shows ordinary skill, that is all the law requires of him.

One of the most famous dogs in English history was Mithe, the grey- | hound of King Richard II. It has been said that greyhounds are | deficient in attachment to their mas- ters. Mithe's case might be offered in proof, although there are other in- stances—such as the affection of his greyhounds for Prederick the Great of Prussia-—which indicate the contrary. Mithe seems to have been faithful to Richard for a long time. Froissart, the chronicler, says he always “wayted upon ye Kynge and wolde know no man els.” One day, however, & strange thing happened. Let loose to accom. pany his master on a hunt, Mithe talking to Henry, Earl of Derby and Duke of Lancaster, and, instead of leaping joyfully upon Richard, as he usually did, fawned upon the duke and ‘nhowed the greatest pleasure in seeing him. fore. He did not know he was the King's hound. When Mithe made at him, he was at first uneasy, mistrusting his intentfons. He asked Richard if the animal would harm him. The sudden loss of Mithe's affections affected Richard deeply. He rurveyed the greyhound thoughtfully. “Cousin,” he finally replied, “this is a great good token to you, but an evil and a gruesome sign to me.” “How do you knmow that?" asked Henry. | ing to the accounts of the | dny, Richard replied: “I know it ful} well. | The greyhound acknowledges and ac- cepts you here this d2y as the rightful King of England, as you shall be, with- out doubt: and I shail be deposed.
