But 1 saw that even her neck was erimson. “I might as well give you now my formal approval of Ronald's occa- sional calls upon Marion,” Lillian said hurriedly. “T had hoped she would get through her senior year without any nonsense of that sort, but Ronald Rrixton's mother iy & friend of many years ago, who re- cently has come back into my life.

Burgess *Tis love that doth for others plan ‘With bird and animal and man. —Old Mother Nature. Mrs. Reddy Fox hunted long and hard. She herself was very, very hungry, for, like Reddy Fox, she had been without food all during the big storm. But when at last she caught a careless Wood Mouse she didn't eat it, although it was not more than a mouthful. No, sir, she didn’t eat it. She picked it up and carried it along with her. But, though she hunted and hunted, she could not find another Wood Mouse. At last she gave up and started for home in the Old Pasture. On the way there she crossed a corner of | the Green Meadows and, by sheer| good fortune she surprised and! caught a fat Meadow Mouse. | Now, Mra. Reddy had been a long time gone, but all the time she had | been thinking of Reddy and how he had lost his toe in a trap. and how he couldn’t hunt for himself, anil how very, very hungry he must be. She was taking those two mice home to Reddy. She had denied herself | that Reddy might have something to eat. Before she reached home she dia- covered tracks in the snow that dis- turbed her much. Those tracks led | straight up toward her home in the | 014 Pasture and they were the foot- | prints of one of thosc two-legged creatures whom she and Reddy so | much feared. “It's probably the one | who set that dreadful trap,” thought Mrs. Reddy. “I do hope he hasn't | set a trap where Reddy is likely to | step in it. However, if he has been up to the house, Reddy will know | it and will he on the watch.” She| sniffed in the tracks and faintly | caught the man-smell.

Van Duyne, physician to one of the hest known girls’ schools of this country, recent- ly has considered the evid:nce against high heels, She has found that young girls do not like to admit that shoes are in most instances the causes of corns, warts, calluses and bunions. It is the opinion of moat orthe- pedfe surgeons that high heels are bad because they throw the log into & position in which the circu. lation is interfered with, the pos- ture bad, and strain placed upon ligaments which never werc meant to bear it. An examination of the members of the senior class in this school revealed that 39 per cent of 212 girls had had deformed feet on entrance into college, At the time of graduation, 82 per cent had deformed feet, in many Instances associated, cacord- ing to Dr. Van Duyne, with the fact that more than half of these girls wear splke-heeled shoes for dreas occasions, shoes too short for many other occasion and low- heeled hoes with broad toes and straight lines for sports. Of the 38 girla who had practi- cally normal feet, 37 either did not wear high heels or clse wore them less than one-third of the time. Twenty-one per cent of the girls suffered with backaches, the large majority of them being wearers of high heels, Furthermore, Dr. Van Duyne was convinced from her study of these girls that the wearing of high heels Wwas associated with fatigue and with much discomfort to the girls in other ways. Special emphasis should be placed on the fact that the wearing of high | hees leads to much more danger of injuries from falls. When the heel is rdised the tendon which holds the large bone of the heel tends to con |tract s0 that & return to low h will at first cause considerable Jis- comfort and pain. Foot defects are responsible for a vast amount of misery in mode life. Many of them can be avoided by much more attention to the wear- ing of proper shocs and shoes wejl fitted. i | the | Thot aclf, b her heanty speaks for it- «axophone irl has to toot ompany look yuile festive on your paniry or her own horn. This is intended as a word of warning to women generally. They must not expect a frock t achieve more than for what it is originally intended. that a sports suit cannot be ex- pected to be both that and an af- ternoon ensemble, neither must an afternoon gown be worn with a severely tailored coat. Tiogical Woman? Lately I have seen many exam- ples of this lack of demarcation in clothes women are guilty of wear- ing. They will wear an elaborate afternoon frock with the fashion- able uneven hem under a straight- lined coat obviously intended for informal wear. Many so-called smart women are thus lacking in discernment. Others besides my- self have noticed this latest fea- ture of fashions and seen in it but another of the illogical sides of feminine nature. Although an advocate and ~r- biter of the uneven and longer skirt, I think there is nothing more unsightly than a wisp of ma- terial showing below & coat and flapping against an ankle. If you want a frock with a fashionably dipping hemline, then your coat must absolutely follow suit. Ret- ter still, never wear that kind of a dress if you are intending to do an afternoon's shopping among other things. It is out of place. T always think that any such breach of good taste and judg- ment on the part of any woman is Which means How women should NOT dress is illustrated by Jean Patou in the lef§ and right sketches. Hcre dipping hemlines spoil the effect of straight- lined costs that obviously were intended for informal wear. Ceater, & charming coat with full back panel topped by & bow of self-material and with unusual neck and culf troatment of fur, has its beauty ene hanced bocause its wearer chose an cven hemn at that time several couturiers launched the fushion of diaphan- ous sweaters in chiffon for after- noon wear. Even evening gowns were composcd of neither more nor less than claborate sweater tops with straight ekirts attached! Happily these styles were ephe- mereal. The inevitable reaction came in the form of very feminine | suit's fabric are new and quite | ound buttonhol illustrative of an element of inco- herence both in her mind as well as in that of her couturier. There is of course some excuse for this deficiency., Not so long ago the whole fashion world look- ed on complacently at a formid- able encroachment of sports styles on afternoon and evening gOWNS. 1 reasonably cannot blame & Wo- man today for lack of taste when Tums Back On Society Circles To -Make Explorations In Arctic afternoon and evening clothes The change was somewhat sudden. though, and women have not quite become used to the mew idea.

(M—8he has seen the mercury in the thermome- ter freeze and she has been forced to eat camel meat and still she ian’t content with the luzuries of Mayfair. S0 Mrs. Violet Cressy-Marcks, & Dritish society woman of indepen- dent means, is off again on another “pleasurc” motor trip. This time her destination is the Arctic Circle by way of Lapland. She will be gone about eight months. Two re- volvers, a volume of Plato and some ecvening gowns are in her cquipment. “I won’t be cold in Laplal she said. “The last time I w Alaska the mercury froze, so I am inured.” Mrs. Cressy-Marcks has been around the world twice. Her pres- ent journey s in striking contrast to her last motor trip, which car- ried her through Arabia, Greece and Albania. “I am traveling alone this time as I always do,” Mrs. Cressy-Marcks said before she left. “Dozens of women would come with me but not one in a thousand would like the life. 1t means giving up civili- zation, shops and comfort, sympa- thy and admiration. 1f a woman gets knocked down at Hyde Park corner she gets sympathy and is picked up. If an accident happens to her in the wilds nobedy cares. “It is true that T am taking some beautiful gowns with me. I had much rather be the bYest-dressed than the worst-dressed woman at any party, especially as in out-of- the-way places 1 am the only Eng- lishwoman. I appreciate the luxury and comfort for two months in the year. For 10 months I enjoy the simple life—bread, cheese and wa- ter, or camel and caribou steak, but 1 admit T am something of a gour- met.” Mrs. Cresey-Marcks has been in every reglon of the world except Australia and South America.

In the same order of Idca the woman who wears much and elab- orate jewelry with & plain sports suit is just as guilty of lack of taste and harmony. The couturier's Idea is one of creating a style that is harmonious —this actually is, or should be his main theme. If his client fails to complete this harmony by inju- dicious accersories, she destroys his effort and the style of the dress at the same time. Women Win Way Into British Civil Service TLondon, Jan, 16 (M—Rritish wom- en have invaded the civil service, & profession hitherto considered the traditional monopoly of men. At the first examination thrown open to both mexes, in which 600 candidates competed for 87 coveted executive positions in government offices, 28 women have been suce cessful. One won necond place and another fourth. Several others were high. The positions for which these women h: qualified include, be- sides the general executive posts, all t'e principal departments of the government, those in the defense de- partments, auditorships in the ex- chequer and audit department and examinerships in the estate duty ollice of the inland revenue, This executive group of positions was created out of the old second division, which formerly provided careers for sons of middle-class families, but with salaries and gen- erel conditions of mervice greatly improved. It now ranks next to class 1, the highest grade in the service, and entalls a stiff examil tion. Ralaries reach $1,600 a y exclusive of large bonuses. The Indian civil service, the dipe lomatic service and the consular service are now the only important Rritish government services still closed to women. Only & few weeks ago several women were appointed income fax inspectors, and the new assistant principal at the ministry of transport is & woman. r Silk pique, in wide-wale weave, has increasing popularity for sports.
