LOW-CUT SPRING SHOES FIATTER- THE ANKLE

Ankles are very much in the Spring picture, according to both ihoe and hosiery stylists. Increas- ld feminity and daintiness of shoe style, combined with the continu- ing popularity of the low hemline. make ankle trimness and neatness more important than ever tn the lashion-conscious Canadian woman.

She will be thrilled to find how the new Spring colors in conjunc- tion with the flattering, slenderis- ing charm of full-fashioned hosiery will tend to emphasize and accent ankle daintiness.

The revealing shell shoe silhou- ette is slated to continue, and its low cut around the ankle enables the close-fitting loveliness of full- fashioned hosiery to be.fuily ap- preclated. What's more, Spring shoes will feature such eye-catch- ing feminine frivolities as vamp cut-outs, wing backs and novel lncings and strappings. These, too, will focus attention on the all-im- portant ankle and lower calf. No doubt about it, the lower hemline. plus the increased feminlty of footwear, are creating a very spe- cial and intriguing kind of "leg in-

' terest."

Just-like his Victorian ancestors. the modern male will find his eye drawn irresistibly to "a trim pair of ankles!" But. unlike her Vic- torian ancestorl. the modern woman will have the wondrous assistance of nylon and silk full-fashioned hosiery to increase the beauty of her ankles.

The variety of weights and col- ors in the new Spring lines gives every woman an opportunity to shop for her exact needs, whether they be for party, day or business wear. This Spring, the style-con- scious shopper will choose her full- fashioned stocking wardrobe confi- dent that their skilfully contrived lines and delicate beauty will put the proper finishing touch tn her entire ensemble.

Scarfs have new tricks nil their own: the pussy-cat bow, the tinier sizes, the tidy solid colors, the polka dot ascots. chiffon or neat- patterned squares. flchus and stoles.

DAILY HOUSEHOLD HINT

. To prevent milk from scorching. rinse with cold water the saucepan in which it is to h» heated.

If you like onions-Jim not their after-taste. try a piece of lemon as a mouth freshener. It'll put a good taste in your mouth after, you've been eating onions.

For a pumpkin with a different twist, try sprinkling a handful of pecan halves on ton of the pie just before popping it into the oven to bake. It's not only lovely to look at, but delightful to eat.

If boiled potatoes look damp and sqggy~here’s a way to fluff theln

lip. Toss them in a put over, a flame until the potatoes appear mealy. Do it quickly and before adding anything to the potatoes.

looking, no cleversr, no tenderer, kinder, more considerate than other men, no whit superior fo the men you meet every day, yet somehow you know that he is IT, and you freely lay at his feet all the treasures pf your heart that you have refused to other men. a 0f course, there are some women who are celibate by nature. They so incapable of any feeling for a man stronger than friendship. They ten marry because they fear the loneliness of spinsterhood, but they make cold and unloving wives, and always find their husbands a bore

1nd a burden.

Nothing but a great love offsets the inevitable sacrifices of matri- lnony, so I think you would be wise not to marry until you are su're

lhat you have found Mr. Right.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Why does a mother sacrifice her daughters

lo a son who is s black sheep?

My mother is an intelligent woman, but

Iha has made my sister and myself work to support our lazy drunkard

if a brother.

Why are mothers like this?

A GOAT

ANSWER: Because they are mothers. Perhaps it is pity. Perhaps

is shame. Perhaps it is a mother's recognition that she is to blame,

a certain extent, for the sins of the prodigal son, but always he is

a one for whom the fatted calf is killed and to whom the good ones h the family are sacrificed. It is always the black sheep that is mother's

pet lamb.

THE CHALLENGE U!‘ HEAD’! ' DISEASE

In s pamphlet. "l‘he Challenge of Heart Disease," the American Heart Association presents some startling facts that should make us all do our part in preventing the death of loved and valuable citizens.

‘tl-leart disease has been increas- ing rapidly. Today it is the leading cause of death. Ono of every three deaths is duo to diseases . of the heart and blood vessels. Heart dila- casa takss s greater toll than the next five leading causes of death oosnbined." The death rate from diseases of the heart and blood ves- sels is three times as high as tuber- culosis.

The unfortunate fact about heart disease is that it takes the greatest number of lives between the ages of 40 and 60, the age of most pro- ductiversess and the age of greatest opportunity for helpfulness to fol- low men.

"The economic cost of heart dis- ease is staggering in terms of loss of llie. absenteeism, disability, loss of gainful employment, and care and treatment programs."

We can join our local branch of the American Heart Association and help research physicians who are doing advanced work and in- vestigation of the causes and treat- ment of heart disease, We can help employ or place men and women with heart disease so that they can do gainful work and retain their morale. ‘

The American Heart Association carries on a. broad program of re- search by trained workers, an edu- cational program about heart dis- ease, and community programs for the care, treatment and prevention

vanished. Both Carl and his wife saw the strange phenomenon.

The third night they distinctly heard the sound of a saw in wood. but this- time no object could be sighted. The sawing noise lasted fully five minutes before it ceased. Again Carl sprang out of bed, lighted a lamp and, made a thor- ough search of the room, which showed not the slightest sign of disturbance.

Now we come to something more startling, namely: the sound of footsteps. They began about three weeks after the van Burens moved in, and continued at irregular in- tervals during their six months‘ residence.

Sometimes the steps would be in the attic and sometimes in an ad.- jolning room, but nb intruder‘ was ever spotted. If ever there was an invisible ghost, this was it. It sounded like the walk of a large man, and yet no form was present. By this time the van Burens had become so accustomed td the tap- pings, the lights and the footsteps that little attention was paid to any of them. _ Whenever these occurrences were aired before their neighbors, they only got a laugh for their efforts; so they quit talking to others about their ghost.

Toward the end of the sixth month-they were sitting in the living room that night-there was an awful crash that shook the cottage to its very foundations. It sounded like the roof caving in. Carl looked at his wife; a slirfht trembling had come over his body. “Did you hear a crash?" he asked. Mary hadn't heard a thing though they were seated only a few feet apart. For some unfathomable reason only one of them had heard thatawful noise.

Carl reached for a lantern and was just in the act of touching a match to the wick when the door opened with a loud bang and across its threshold strode the form of a huge man.

Carl and Mary were now terri- fied for the first time since they had occupied the haunted house — so terrified that they sat in their chairs, shivering ‘and speechless. The apparition crossed the floor. gave one bloodcurdling shriek and then disappeared through the op- posite wall. ‘

Those whose birthday it is may find opportunity for attacking some pernic ous, treacherous or curious set of circumstances. baffling, mys- terious and elusive. An honest and unequivocal effort at dragging per- plexing and eccen situations into the light, but wi h discrimination. justice and charity. Misplaced con- fidence. betrayal or emotional en- tanglemenhs demand open-and- abovo-boazd ' manipulation, but use to count the cost, in sll re- tions, private, business or pro- femional.
