WOMAN'S PAGE Veils With New Millinery BY MARY MARSHALL. EILS have been making s rather hard fight for recognition, but little by little they are gaining ground and before long they may be as generally worn as they were before the war or whenever it was that women considered a veil an all but essential adjunct to a smart street hat. But with veils as with so many other old fashions that have been revived recently, there is a difference! We are willing to wear the veil if fash- roves, but we will insist on wearing it in a modern way. With many of the new French hats vells are an inseperable part of the trimming. You put on the hat and the veil goes on, too, falling gracefully over | the forehead and extending either a 1little below or u little above the tip of the nose. It is taken for granted this| season that veils should be brief and there is very little chance that the old- time full width veils will come into favor at least for some time to come. Speaking of veils, have you noticed how simply most of the new hats are «trimmed? Ostrich feathers here and there for those who like them, but usu- ally a simpler, niore compact sort of | trimming. | Cire ribbon is used in small bows and knots or is used as bands. Moire rib- and fur is sometimes used to provide just the touch needed to give a hat dis- tinction. Barunduki with its tones of brown, cream and black makes small bows on one hat and leopard skin forms a narrow band cn another. A small quill-shaped piece of fur provides a| novel ornament for still another new hat. (Copyright, 1931.) Butterscotch Pudding.

It is convenient to dress the children n one sort of clothing throughout the season. The heavy underwear goes on in November and the wool dress, the flannel blouse, the storm overcoat do duty day by day. It is Winter and time for Winter clothes. Houses are heated and schools are superheated. ‘The children uncom- fortable in the dry warm! . ggn rotest against the heavy clothes. need a heavy overcoat; my sweater is all 1 In the dead of Winter? Put that overcoat on and don't let me hear another word about it. You ought to be thankful that you have such & good coat. There are thousands of little boys who have none this cold day.” That {3 the last straw. No child likes to hear about the poor child who has no coat and would like his. The first thought_is to give it to him and wel- come. He is sick to death of hearing sbout him. And the sweater is 3 Usually the child is right. The fi- tance to school is short. The weather is mild. The school is heated. sweater is light and warm and the over- coat is heavy and smothering. Less cold if they change to a warmer coat on a bitter day, nor will they be ill if they lay aside the heavy clothes on & warmer day. We have extremes of weather and temperature. The chil- dren must be dressed to meet what comes,. not what tradition lays down as normal. A child does not feel in accordance with the date. He feels actual conditions, and these are likely to change daily. “But would you let a child change to a lighter weight of underclothes be- cause the temperature rose several de- gm in January?” I certainly would. ouldn't you open a window if the tem- perature rose over the comfort point in the house? Why should the children suffer discomfort when a change of clothing will make them easy? School people see queer things. One little boy wore rubbers all day long in school, wet weather or dry, because, his Once I confided to a friend I longed for peace of mind.

It is mysterious why people let poets— poorish and middling good poets—set their taste for them in the beauties of natural things. Such a lot of love has been metrically lavished upon hepaticas and buttercups and celandines, lesser and greater, and dandelions and wild Toses and other blossoms praised in the dear-common-flower-that-growest - be- side-the-way manner and sweet-daisy- thou-hast-taught-me-to-be-brave strain. Such poems are favorites with people who really do not }1kr‘hpoetr{‘.] i Where is the poct that will sing a song for the cotton-grass, that sedge that is no grass, but a pale banner of silk flung out on the winds of Autumn. | & Japanese artist could do wonders with its stately, slender stems; its fine-spun heads already half dispersed upon the air, all in the subdued, restrained ele- gance of its marshy setting. Then there is beard-grass, or broom- sedge, or bluestem grass, with its fine, woolly argosies loosed on the breeze, its soft, rich, foxy-russet leaves and wi:{ stems, going shoulder to shoulder all over our Autumn flelds There is the intricate beauty of the sphagnum mosses, like the patterns seen in fossils, with their subtle grays and gray-greens and silvery greens, like the lights on green velvet in motion. There are the glistening wonder works of the oak galls, the translucent, in- credibly swift growth in rainy Autumn woods of the tremulas. | To have great poets there must, as ‘Walt Whitman said, be great audiences, tco. When people do not wish any lon- ger to drop a tear in the eye of the first hepatica, poets will cease to try to | draw tears. What I love best in Autumn is the way that Nature takes its curtain, as the stage folk say. The banners of the marshes furl, droop and fall; the forest leaves descend in golden glory: the ripe seeds drop: the fruit is cast aside. So, with slow chords, in imperceptible, fine modulations, the grand concerto of the year draws to its close, and when the silence comes, vou can scarce distin- guish it from the last far-off strains of the wood-winds and the horns. “BONERS” Tid-Bits From Papers.

It may interest folks who are always asking where I get the ideas for these daily health talks to xnow that I got the idea for this one from the paper. A lady, exasperated beyond endurance, wrote to the editor to demand why in tarnation some second-rate stores per- mitted saleswomen to address customers as “dearie” or “my dear.” We have counter-irritation in our line, too. For instance, pain in the southwest corner does not always mean appendicitis. Now and then, to the surgeon’s chagrin, it proves to be pleu- risy or beginning pneumonia — the nerves that supply sensation to the body surface playing & little joke on doctor and patient. It is very annoy- ing to a surgeon to cut in and find everything around the appendix all serene, and then have the patient go on through regular pleurisy or pneu- monia. Some patients have very little consideration for a doctor's reputation or professional pride. A dozen pairs of spinal nerves, called intercostal nerves, which means they are between the ribs, supply sensation tc the skin of chest and abdomen. The sixth and seventh intercostal nerves supply sensation to the skin over the stomach; they emerge from the spinal cord high up between the shoulder blades. Right up there where they come out of the spine is the place to apply & mustard plaster to relieve dis- tress felt in the region of the stomach. The stomach itself has no feeling. Sorry, but this is true. It doesn't alter the fact one iota that you have often felt & pain in your stomach. You just think you've felt it there. The pain or distress you felt was actually in the front wall of the abdominal cavity. “Stomach ache” ean't happen. It is an old tribal practice to thump a person on the spine high up between the shoulders with the closed fist as rapidly as possible when he is choking on anything. Similar percussion on the prominent veterbra just above the level of the shoulders stimulates the heart. are reflex effects. A sharp ur on the patellar tendon two inches below the point of the knee produces a kick of the leg. This is the type of reflexes. The doctor taps the patellar tendon to observe the state of the reflex—if there is any serious injury or degeneration of the conducting tracts in the spinal cord, the reflex lost. This happens most commonly in loco- motor ataxia. For the normal patellar | reflex it is essential that the sensation of the tap or taps be carried along the sensory nerve into the spinal cord and up the cord to the central station for that area of the body, then the motor impulse which contracts the thigh muscles to produce the kick must carried back down its tract or channel in the cord and out miong the motor nerve to the thigh muscles. Another reflex which laymen rarely know is the pupil refiex. The normal pupil widens in the dark and contracts in the light; also it enlarges or dilates | when the individual looks at anything | at a distance and contracts when the eye regards anything within a foot or two.
