OFFICES AS HARD 0N HANDS A5 KITCHENS

Women whonio housework and those who handle carbon paper in offices have to take special care of their hands and finger-nails. Dust and grime are among tho worst enemiu of cuticle.

When you have finished the breakfast dishes (use bland soap flakes or powder), cover your hands and wrist with a thick hand cream or plain olive oil and put on rub- ber gloves. Modern rubber gloves are so thin that they are in no way cumbersome.

The office worker who can't wear rubber gloves during the day ought to cover her hands with cream and should wear old cotton gloves at least two nights a week. The cream does its work while she sleeps. Also. she must remember to wash her hands frequently-centainly always after changing a typewriter ribbon, using carbon paper reading proofs.

Keep a. piece of fresh lemon or a bottle of lemon juice on the bath- room shelf and use it to remove stains on fingertips. See that your mancurist uses an oily polish re- mover and that the peroxide she puts on under tips of nails is re- moved qulckly before it has a chance to spill over on cuticle.

sed theopinion that there is absolutely no ground for the belief that one should start leading up a healthy young child with fats im- mediately the autumn begins.

His theory is that, as in the spring, the diet should now be light and not bulky.

His ideal diet for children of from nine months to five or six years is a. whole cereal-either Scotch oatmeal, whole wheat or maize-plus plenty of milk vege- tables and fruit.

He is particularly emphatic about a. proper- amount of Vitamin B plus mineral salts for the child at this time of year. Vitamin B is the antineurotio vitamin, and is one of the most difficult, to retain in cooked foods.

It is present in whole-grain cereals --if they are healthly grown and carefully prepared and cooked, and it is also present in all vegetables, milk, and eggs.

It is entirely destroyed by over- cooking of vegetables and the addi- tion of soda and some salts A very great number of modern town chil- dren suffer from a deficiency of this vitamin.

Provided, however, your cereals are whole, fresh. and lightly cook- ed your vegetables are conserva- tively cooked and the child receives lightly cooked eggs and an abund- ance of fresh raw milk, there is no reason whatever to add an extra allowance of this vitamin.

If you are not sure of those facts in the child's diet then you will not do any harm to allow o small daily dose of a concentrated form

of a. vitamin.

Too ‘Much Mother-in-Law Gan Easily Spoil Any Marriage — Let Your Children

Dear Miss Dix-I'm ‘engaged to be married to the finest girl in the world. We would have been married long ago except that her mother is

You are quite right in the position you take in wanting to establish your own home free of any numbering in-laws, and the fact that the girl's mother is determined to thrust herself upon you when she knows herself unwanted, shows what a trouble-maker she would be.

My advice is, that if you have to take the mother in order to get the girl, to let the girl go. She is too heavily handicapped. Besides, she must lack character and spirit to be so completely under her mother's thumb

but there is no arguing about taste, so there you are, and observation shows that the young women who look like incipient cases of tuberculosis

CHAPTER 10

While they were driving back from Great Fails, Bill had tried again and again to draw Rita. into a. discussion of Carl and Selma. Once he had said:

"Must be great to have your emo- tlonal machinery g on the same belt tho way Carl and the Runbrecker female manage it. Funny, too, when you think about it. Carl's intelligent and pratcitacl and ambitious, while Selmats mental equipment is about on a. par with a two-day-old kitten. . . . ."

To which Rita had replied, "Wouldn't it be amusing if we ran into Ann and Lee out here some- where?"

And again, later:

“For all her one-cylinder brain, Selma's a. fighter, Rita Not out in the. open, understand. She takes her shots from behind trees and around corners. . . . I was all set for fire- works last night. She's got you marked for a surprise and it may be anything from a slurring remark in public to a. live tarantula in a ciga-ret case. It's none of my busi- ness, but I'm warning you. If you must add Carl's scalp to your col- lection, take my advice and sleep with one eye open. . . ."

And Rita had said, “We've been driving in one direction quite a long time, Bill, didn't you say we were to meet Lee and Ann at some place around seven-thirty. . . . .?"

But Rita had no real aversion to the subject and decided suddenly to have it out with Bill once and for all. She liked Bill, but she nad no illusions about him. He was a news-i paper man, and tnewspaper men were notoriously poor, and imprac- tical, and-as she had warned Ann —unreliable. Occasionally one fought his way to fame and wealth, but only occasionally, And Bill, she reflected a little sadly, was no light- er. He had no ambition, no burning desire to scale the heights.

Rita had found herself wondering whether Bill's insistent warning had been inspired by a simple desire to save her from a. possible embarras- sing experience or had grown out of a. strictly selfish motive. One never knew with Bill. He might, conceiv- ably, be in love with her and never le‘, her suspect it. I-Ie was like that and because he was like that she could never completely put him out oi" her mind. If he told her this lnoment he was hopelessly mad about her (“Imagine Bill telling that to any girl ulivel") she would not be moved . . . But it would be nice to lknow.

“It's perfectly evident, Bill," she said at last, "that sooner or later I must tell you Selma. Runbrecker simply doesn't exist so far as 1'm concerned . . . You keep reminding me what a savage rival she is. Get it out of your system, man. As long as she stays out of my way, fine. The day she claims title to Carl Balmer, though, she had better have the papers to prove it."

Bill had just Lighted a. cigaret, but he threw it away. “If you're that far gone on Carl," he said. soberly, “there's no sense in trying to argue with you."

"And suppose I'm not gone on Carl at all? Suppose I find him an interesting companion-is there any law to prevent my going out with him?"

“Did you," Bill asked drolly, “ever hear o1 the law of fair play? . . . . Washington is full of men, Rita. Why pick out the only one you've met who happens to be in love with another girl?"

Rita's calm was gone in a flash. Anger was in the udden tilt of her head, in her half closed eyes . . but she held herself in check. l-ler voice, when she spoke, was quiet, controlled.

"I sometimes wonder if you men know the meaning of fair play, Bill." She was momentarily silent, then. “If you pose as a noble ex- ponent of good sportsmanship, now do you justify your smug attitude toward Ann? _You didn't have to marry her, but you might at least have given her a good time,"

“Are you really serious, Rita?"

She pretended she had not heard. "Even before she saw you, Ann was half in love with you," she said evenly. "And when she did see you and found you were quite as mad as I'd told her you were . . . ." She gestured meaningly. "And if she's had anything from you but a paternal smile, I failed to see it"
