.. WOMAN'’S PAGE. Simple and Elaborate Sleeves BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘What have you decided to do about the sleeve question? Do you fntend to Xrt yourself defl- nitely against the réturn of ornate | sleeves, with. their puffs and ruffles, gathers, frills and other' unnecessary trimming, continuing to wear the sim- ple arm coverings to which we have been accustomed for many years—or are you willing to take up with this most recent frivolity of- fashion? No one woman or group of women can settle this question of sleeves and yet each one of us has a vote in the matter—because the fate of the new ornemental sleeve depends on whether women of the present period are willing to wear it. A large majority of the new dresses still have sleeves of the simple, almost straight sort, but there ere just enough of the other kind to indicate the new tendency. Our own personal opinion is that the more elaborate sleeves will survive and that they will become much more numerous than they are ! before many seasons have passed. None of the new sleeves show ex- treme departure from simplicity. Puffs, when they appear, are very moderate compared with those that prevailed in any of the puff-sleeve eras of the past. Sometimes the fullness is all above the elbow and sometimes just in the region of the elbow. And again there is a gradual flare from the shoulder to the wrist. Sometimes contrasting trimming con- sists merely of small wrist cuffs and sometimes more thar half the sleeve is of lace. Sandwich.

School of Hygiene and, Public' Health, Johns Hopkins University. THm is a widespread idea that researches on vitamins arg & com- | raratively recent development. “Just| a fad” is the expression :omeun‘:i heard. People in general. and even some professional people with technical e“ucation, are to some extent skeptical | of the practical importence of vmmms‘ or are misinformed in regard to them.| As a matter of fact, for more than| two thousand years medical men have | given thought to the nature of foods | and the requirements of nutrition. Even the conception of vitamins— substances which are required in but small amounts and which until recent- 1y were too elusive for chemical study —dates back approximately 150 years, when James Lind, a surgeon in the British Navy, matured his studies on a disease called scurvy. What Are Vitamins? a term used to indicate certain health-giving and disease-pre- venting elements which exist in many foods. ‘They are now recognized as| substances apart from the usual pro- teins, fats, carbohvdrates and miner- | als and are virtually nece: for the proper use of these food elements by | the body. In other words, the human | body must get a sufficlent amount of | vitamine in order to grow properly and | be_healthy. | Practically all our present knowledge of vitamins has come in the last 30 or 40 years. During the early years of | the twentieth century scientists estab- lished in their experiments that proper growth was impossible unless certain ingredients, then unkmown, were pres- ent in the diet. Following up this line of research, it was established that these growth vitamins and the vitamins were the same. ‘The recognition that there were vital elements in fresh fruits and vegetables goes back mnearly 300 years. | ‘Today the scientific world knows of six vitamins, each of which has a dis- tinct benefit in the diet. These vita-| mins are identified as A, B, C, D, E| and G. Vitamin D is the most recent- 1y discovered vitamin and also the first of the entire series to reveal its chem- ical nature. Unlike the other vitamins, | very little of it is found in foods. i “Sunshine Vitamin.” ‘The main source of vitamin D is ex-| re to the rays of the sun, hence| name of “sunshine vitamin.” Un-| til the recent perfection of the process for supplying vitamin D in bread, there were few other sources.

Stir and cook until well blended, turn into & buttered baking dish, with but- tered crumbs and brown in & hot oven. COTTAGE PUDDING. is the only other important source fur- nished by Nature. Few people realize the importance throughout the centuries of our having eaten yeast-Tal bread. When we raise our bread with yeast In prepara- tion for baking, we are manufacturing, as the yeast multiplies, the mother substance of vitamin D. This is called ergostero!. Ergosterol was first discov- ered in the ofl of ergot, a smut which grows on rye if it is too wet at harvest time, but yeast likewise contains a gen- erous amount in terms of our need | While there is & very small amount of | ergosterol in many of our vegetable foods. this amount is perilously small. We are constantly eating some er- gosterol in the yeast in our bread. This is not the vitamin D, but can be con- verted into it. terol and it is distributed by the blood to all parts of the body including the skin.. When the sun shines on the skin, it converts some of the ol into vitamin D; this is taken up by the tiny blood vessels in the skin and distributed throughout the body. The eating of ergosterol followed by expos- ure of the skin to sunshine is the equivalent of taking cod liver oil. If one were to subsist for a time on a diet containing no ergosterol, his body would become depleted in this substance. If he were then to take sun baths, they would do him no good, | for the sun's rays would not be able to form vitamin D in his skin.

Seemingly she has hid- den her own originality. This is un- fortunate, for she should be able to create “different” things herself. ‘The commonplace apparently has no position in her make-up. If she can discern between true value and ordi- nary fads, this seeking the unusual will be_of assistance to her. We should judge her to be utterly feminine. She should enccurage this in both her actions and dress. She fortunate in that present styles probably flatter her. At no time, how- ever, should she use any masculine touches in dress or mannerisms. Her charm undoubtedly lies in this very feminine nature. By stressing it she will possibly increase her appeal to both men and women. If sh2 can de- yelop her natural self, she will surely find she is #n outstanding individual. By spending less time on superficial things, she may find more opportunity to enjoy the worthwhile in life. Nature possibly holds much_exotic beauty never found by her.
