Q. Is it correct, when making an introduction, to say, "1VI.rs. Jones. Mrs. Smith, and "Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Jones"?

A. This repetition is unneces- sary. To pronounce each name once is quite enough, unless it is a for- elgn one that is difficult to pro- nounce. Repeating this a second time is sometimes not only helpful, but gives one who could not re- member I chance to ask later on, "Won't you tell me again how to pronounce your name?”

Q. When is the proper time for the guests at a church wedding to leave their seats after the cere-

many? A. Not until the very end of the recesslonal, the march from the

altar to the rear of the church. It is very bad form to break into the march to offer coiigmtulations.

Q. when a person drops a spoon or fork in a public dining room. should he reach down and pick it up?

A. No; he should call the waitersiattention to this and have the article replaccd.

Q. How-can I keep chiffon from slipping while cutting it?

A. The cutting of chiffon and other sheer fabrics often proves exasperating. It will not slip if the fabric is pinned on wrapplne 01' newspaper, with the grain of the fabric running parallel to the double perforation that marks the straight of the goods. Lay the pat- tern on the goods and cut through both fabric and paper.

Q. How can I loosen grease in cooking utensils?

A. If the pan to be washed is very greasy, heat it slightly before putting it into the dish pan. 1t will loosen the grease and cause it to wash more readily.

How can I take away the bitter taste of a medicine?

A. Try holding a piece of ice in the mouth for a few minutes be- fore taking the medicine.

UNDER a very exciting and ac- celerated Lunar vibration, all things should respond to high sti- mulus of activated planets. The domestic circle continues to be the scene of unusually active, and gay pastimes, with the home environs ardent and enthusiastic, especially affecting the young and youthful amusements or diversions. Social. affectional, romantic and artistic deeds take over the spurs and in- dulgences of Venus sextile Luna.

For the Birthday

Those. whose birthday it is are likely to find the Venusian blood dancing in their veins with all the incltements of youth and beauty clamoring for expression. The domestic circle is in the fore, with social, romantic and creative urges inciting to special indulgences. Even such businesses as cater to these purely personal activities should respond to this gracious and warm- ing drive for release. Affections, love, romance. are keyed to seek in- dulgence.

A child born on this day will be charming, magnetic, glowing and gracious, given to finding pleasure

and creative expression in the domain of love and affection. .. -oo-C.-so-Q-soc

I ELLEIl'S IIIAIIY '

By An Island Fume:-'5 wife Etched fetchingly against I slope. symbol of the promise of seedtime and harvest, we saw a neighboring farmer at the plow- ing this evening . . . It was bare- ly past sunset then biit already the cool shadowy night had left some intriguing fastness and was approaching over the farmlands, walking lightly over hillocks and shadowy glen to presently wrap this and every farmstead about in its pleasant. dusky embrace . . . It would set a first star. above the cup-rim of valley for house- wives to wish upon; and wishing wonder what manner and whenl the wish would come true ' some roundabout unexpected way but nevertheless surely for are we not assured that even ”before ask" and out of those "riches Glory” needs will be fulfilled?

We watched the team plod along faithfully, opening the loamy furrows, ever broadening the dark of the design, rich and promising against the pale of the stubbles. ”The end - or the beginning?" we queried of James at our side. "The beginning," he replied. "There just doesn't seem to be any end nowadays to farming. But," he smiled. "there are plenty of be- ginnings! We finish one chore of the season and uhat then? IVh) commence another!"

”There is a notion,” he continu- ed, "that farming stops with the arrival of winter. The field-work does, but the farmer is like that

brook that goes 'oii and on for- ever.' Yes," he said, "that's the start of next springs seedtime.

And I'm telling you, Ellen, it looks mighty pretty nowadays to see a man plowing wzth a team. It's as though." James offered, "by the very act of it, h eputs something of his heart into the soil - his

hopes and plans and suchlike to make it responsive. You know what I mean, Ellen, - as though he and his land were trusted partners."

Enclosed in one of Mother Na- ture's umnatchablc frames, color- ful trces ot hedgerow and wood-

land, was plowman and team. We enjoyed it together a long minute.

”Oh, I'm not saying that the tractors not good-last and labor- saving,” James said, ”uut give me a good team and a plow! To my mind, Ellen, its more like farming" . O 0 0

Grading potatoes this family was today, lads and two farmers. The quiet of our afternoon indoors was broken occasionally by the visits of an emissary right out of an old Latin textbook or complement. though we fancy his designs were more obvious. A quietly opened door, a smiling but inquiring face and ”Gran'daddy said, if you were

sitting with nothing to do you'd better come and help with the grading. " Hopefully: "What will I tell him?" Again silence, deep and enjoyable. Then a returning step on the porch.

"Gran'daddy sent. me to say.

you must be a pretty useless wom- an if you could sit and let us work away at the potatoes!" Later: ”I think you should come. Gran- daddyls arm has a" with a look of grave concern, ”klnd of a kink in it. It's paining him awful! He said perhaps you'd like to see the 'run' we're ET3Cll1'lE- Tl19i"l'e 5955' I” grade." so we followed -him to swing into the spirit of the Ch0!'9- There were no drones about.

Son's Viewpoint ' Man Thinks Wives Unfair To Mothers-In-Lsw

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Mothers have had a hard battle to fight these last few years. Mothers-in-law have had no chance at all. Young women are fighting older women bitterly. The hate they express when speaking of their mothers-in-law is difficult to put into words. Many men in their thirties and forties have ulcers solely because of

. .v the conflict in their home: between women. They ask in despair, "II it a crime to love one'I mother?" We are called every low name in the docket be- cause. having made money, we wish to make our mother's last years a little easier! .

BANTIIINI. Till PIPTIO ULCER DRUG. FAB OTIIIR USES

When I drug has been found to give satisfactory results in treating In ailment for which it was es- pecially designed, other research workers begin to find that it helps other conditions also. Thus. when Banting Ind Best discovered in- sulin, the special or spec” drug or substance which controls div.- bstes, other research workers be- gun testing insulin in treatment of mental cases by causing shock. In- sulin preceded metrazol and elec- tric shock treatment. All three shock methods give satisfactory re- sults.

Later, it was found that small doses of insulin increased the ap- petite in poorly nourished child- ren.

When Banthine was found to be helpful in stomach and duodenal ulcer (peptic ulcer). research work- ers felt that its quleting effect in lessening the degree of movement of the stomach walls might quiet the movements of the sweat glands of the skin and relieve excess per- spiration, which it did with great satisfaction to those nervous indi- viduals who were greatly troubled and embarrassed by excess perspir- ation of hands and feet. and prac- tically all parts of the body.

In southern Medical Journal, Dre. E. J. Poth and S. W. Fromm report a series of 43 patients, com- plaining of indigestion, dyspepsia and intolerance to fooda,who were given 100 mg. of Banthine every six hours for a week. Banthine was discontinued if there were no re- sponse but if relief was obtained. the dose was gradually reduced to 50 mg. three times a day and 100 mg. at bedtime and then maintain- ed for one month.

Drs. Poth and Fromm report: "Frequently 100 mg. at bedtime will keep these patients happy, allowing them to sleep comfortably, eat a liberal diet with an improved ap- petite and greater feeling of well- being. Sufficient improvement has occurred in 65 per cent (2 of every 3) of those patients to justify the conclusion that Banthine treatment has been beneficial. The majorly of these patients will ultimately take the drug only intermittently."

In Gastroenterology (stomach and intestine), Drs. F. Kern, T. P.- Almy and N. J. Stock report their treat- ment of 18 patients with irritable colon .. chronic diarrhoea. Pain was relieved in six of 10 patients and diarrhoea in fourteen of twenty-three. The number of bowel movements decreased. the stools became less liquid, the amount of mucus diminished, and the urgency to go to stool was leu.
