Dear Miss Grey: What is your jopinion of a man who Insists on doing most of the shopping, buying his wife's dresses, coats and hal and bragging that his taste is bet- ter than his wife's? I think that if her clothes were attractive enough before marriage, she can dress herself just well now, If he takes his wife with him, and gaat picks the things she likes, ho The only absolutely certain of avoiding so-called ptomaine poi-! soning is to eat no eanned foods for there are some such polsons| that can't be detected by ordinary | means. | However, in this day and age people can't very well get along without eating some tinned foods, | so that the next best thing is to exercise great caution in choosing such goods, In the first place, | never buy such canned goods ex cept through the most careful deal ers. Nover buy a can that appear bulged, as though by gas. Never) buy a can that shows TWO soldered-up holes in its Hd. ‘That! means that {t contains material that | has spoiled, and been recooked to} kill germs that caused fermenta ton. And never, under any circum: stances, eat any eanned goods that, upon opening, give off any question- able odor, The handsome reversible cloths offer so many suggestions to the designers that every day new and smarter models are coming out. This trig-looking motor coat has an outer side of dark brown, the reverse being champagne color, and the buttons of shell, with black rims, add a touch of extra chic, Instead of the now familiar sailor collar, this new coat has a big monk's bood at the back—fashion's vory latest whim, and one that promises to be very popular this win- ter.
