It told me lpat he quits fancied himself for adding Edith Fairfax te the personnel of the party, which already included Philip Veritzen, although my em- ployer had mnot accompanied us to our floor, but was engaged in driv- ing & patient hotel manager to dis- traction ia the endeavor to find rooms which suited him. “How soon will she be here?” he asked, and when 1 told him he rose and stretched his arms. “I'll just go over to our shack and get my things put to rights’ he mid, and looked at me with what 1 knew was an appeal to help him with his unpacking.

Come over here, Madge, and tell me what to do with these cur- tajns.” It was the flimsiest of excuses, but it served, and Dicky took the Mat and his departure. Lillian took me by the shoulder and swung me around facing her as soon as the door closed behind her.

He had quite a lot to say. “Now you see,” he began, “what Bappens from building in such a allly place as this.

Now you go off in a corner and think out your dinner scheme while I get my room settled. And when deah Edith arrives you let me have first crack at her, will you?” “With pleasure!” 1 made my voice emphatic. ‘“‘But what excuse are you going to give her for my not being able to leave the hotel?” “The truth! She's developed into a cat and I think she possesses no particular scruples as to the meth- ods by which she hopes to snaffle the Dicky-bird away from his prel-l ent cage. But she's discreet, and the secrets of our menage here are perfectly safe with her. So T'll tell her the whole story. Now go into the silence.” A Color Problem She walked into her own room and closed the door. while 1 curled myself up in an armchair. smiling at her injunction, but obeying it. I went over the inadequate back- ground which I had for the dinner. Lillian's living room would have been far better, but with Mary and Princess Olina housed in her apart- ment it would be impossible for me to keep from the Princess the fact that T was planning a double ah- nouncement party. Both she and Prince Georges were still in ignor- ance of the other's betrothal. T wanted to preserve that ignorance |until the night of the announce ment, for I counted upon the psy- chological effect which the sur- prise would have upon hoth of them { T had seen the unattractive big table helonging to our suite which 1 would have to use, and therefore decided upon a heavy damask cloth, instead of a lace. Knowing that we would occasionally entertain in our rooms. T had sent in a barrel of my best china and glass to the hotel a few dayg before, and it now awaited my unpacking. Rapidly T took a mental inventory of my resources and decided that 1 would have to trouble Edith Fairfax with the pur- chase of flowers. candles. bonbons land favors. For the dinner itself T {knew T could depend upon the head of the hotel restaurant. a man who had engineered some of the most notable banquets of the city and whose preference for ease over strenuous action was the sole rea=on for his presence in the Kelsey ing room. But my color scheme was still un- decided. for it hinged upon rama- thing as vet unknown to me.

By Dr. Morrs Fishbeln Editor Journal .of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magasine . Four-fifths of all the calcium in the body is closely associated with phosphorus, this combination en- tering into the compesition of bone. The growing child requires much of this substance to meet its needa. grams in each thousand grams. occurs in egg-white to the extent of 2 billigrams to each thousand grama. in-potatoes 6.4 milligrams, in wheat sarm 9.4 milligrams, in beef 18 milligrams and in milk 18.6 milli- grams. It is not surprising therefore that it was thought at first that rickets was due to a shortage of phosphor- ous in the diet and that attempts were made to overcome the de- fiency by giving phosphorated cod liver oil. As the child reaches the period when it begins to walk it no longer depends exclusively on mother's milk as its diet and through the change in diet begins to get enough phosphorous to meet its need. Phosphorus also enters into the composition of nerve tissues and brain tissue. Hence for many years nerve tonics contgined phos- phates. Agassiz thought that the human brain required phosphorus to build it up and because the meat of fishes contained phosphorus he suggested that fish was a brain food. While all of the relationships of phosphorus in the human body are not fully understood, enough is known to indicate that the human body must have its quota of this seential substance or disturbances follow. TFortunately it is found in goodly amounts in most of the im- portant food substances and the automatic regulators of the chemis- try of the body make certain that the phosphorus will reach the places in which it is needed to take care of body functions. Among animal foods cheese. egg yolk, condensed milk and meat are relatively rich in phosphorus. Of the fresh vegetables the greatest content is.found in lima beans, peas, brussels sprouts, parsnips, spinach, caulifiower and potatoes. All of the inuts such as almonds, peanuts, wal- nuts, hazelnuts and pecans are rela- tively rich in phesphorus having about half the effliciency of chasse in this repard.

Summer Clothes Make An Art Of Looking Cool Mrs. Earl T. Smith and daugiter Iris New York, June 14 —Smart Social | Registrites contributed a veritable lion’s share of chic at the milk fund benefit fair and tea that Mrs. Payne Whitney gave on her beautiful Man- hasset, Long Island, estate. ‘The day was balmy and gorgeous, just a day to be capitalized by sweet summery clothes, especially since this year's weather has paraphrased a famcus line so it is quoted this ay: “What is so rare as a warm day in June.” Hot weather clothes emphasize the wre of looking cool. Now modes crys- tallize the importance of details. Collars, waistlines and the way gleeves flare are tremendously im- portant. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. for instance, wore a sweet printed frock of coftorful littl> flowers against a little background, that had its three graduated tiers all scallop- ed in points, its ruffled cuffs pointed in like manner and its shawl collar of suntan georgette coming to a point over a wisp of fine lace Dame Fashion No Longer Unruffied Ruffles, ever very feminine. are increasing their scope. Mrs. Charles Mrs. Lewis €. Tedyard (left) and Mrs. William de Rahm Amory's modernistic printed _silk |actly matched .and her yellow mush- lot of smart looking hat. Tt had & frock had a rutfled collar not unlike the bertha of yesteryear, save that it rounded lower in front over a lovely lace vestee. Sleeveless frocks were divided fitty-fifty between one-piece types and two-piece ones.

Youthiful Chic in Cardigan Suit For youthful chic. I really believe nothing surpasses the properly cut cardigan suit. At least, that is what T though when T saw Mrs. Earl T. Smith in as neat a yellow outfit as this capucine season has produced. It was a clear, soft yellow jersey de laine suit—its skirt quite full with (four inverted triplex box pleats. A 'flat crepe blouse, long sleeved, ex- | |width all around. It had velvet band- room straw hat had darker tones facing it. She wore polka dotted T- | strap sandals and carried a sports envelope purse. Little Iris clinging to her Mamma, wore a delectable | !little outfit with hand-worked flow- | crs in dainty array. - White hats increased their num- bers and. in some instances, their | size. Mrs. Willlam deRham wore quite a large one, of silkty transpar- ent straw. wired to considerable ings and two streamers quite in | keeping with the modernistic in- crustations of color decorating the jumper of her two-piece sports frock. Pleated Hats Have Place in the Mode Pleats have increased their pres. tige until they have gone to Milady's head. I noted several hats pleated on cne or both sides to give jaunty orig- inality. Better Bliss's checked Paris meme hat flared off her face in front and was pleated down the back of the brim, giving the impression of & Mr=. Charles S. Payson and son Dan jeiweled pin holding up its froat crown and a little banding that tied in a pert rear bow. Incidentally, she wore a lovely printed jacket and frock, with double tiered skirt, White shoes seem to make use of novelty fabric when they austerly remain all-white; otherwise they ure anything from crepe de chine to buck, combined with color. Mre. G. Macculloch Miller, the former Flora Whitney, wore a stunning pair of oxfords .in novelty basket weave silky fabric. Her white frock had the o&fly cap slecves seen at the gfair. Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin’s white shoes had black pipings; Mrs. Charles Swartz's were tipped and MNeeled smartly in purple to match the bandings on her sweater suit. The sartorial and social rasking of the lowly polka dot continwes to surprise me. Yet it shouldn't. There's universal aopzal in the simplicity of dots as a design. Mrs. Lewis C. Led- yard wore a very feminine and gweet little blue_and white dotted frock, with sash and kerchief of dots, tos.
