When Mrs. Arthur A. Sliurcliff uent to- England gs a girl, she be- came interested in the ancient Em;- ilish art of change-ringing of tower bells and became so proficient she was soon given a bell in st. Paul's Cathedral, the first American wom- an ever to ring a peal and the acc- ‘orid of her sex. Mrs. Siiui-cliff 10ml- ed some hand bells and organized Ziier Boston friends to learn the art. She is now president of the New England Guild of Handbell Ring- ers, and is still, probably, iii,- ullly American woman who can ring a peai on tower bells.

QUALITY VARIES

Red garnets are very hard and ifough gem-stones which would be lniore valuable. says the American Gem Society, if garnets of l-nferior qualities were not so plentiful, and If s knowledge and an appreciation pf the beauty of the fine qualities twers more general. The finer red, Pyrope garnets, if they are not too dark and approach the colour of good rubies, are valuable and have been used in gems by royalty. Un- rusually free of flaws, the Arizona, ‘Utah and South African Pyropes are the most valuable of the Pyrope fvarlety.

To stave off serious illness. re- port any symptom at once to the family physician. no matter how Inlnor it may seem.

HANDBAG 0F FUR CAN BE PRACTICAL

NEW YORK - Make surg that your fur bag is going to be proc- ttlcal. You can't hope to open and Ihut it, or draw it up on a cord without being hard on its hairs. With muff bags, this is a little dif-

ferent, The purse may be all but hidden in the muffs bed and thus protected from too much wear and tear. Saddiebags of Persian lamb with their double pocket capacity are a popular type of fur handbag. But here, too, a strong lining pro- tects delioate fur tissues.

‘Fur-trimmed handbags are among the most decorative and praniczl of the group. made of broadcloth. fsiile, or of fine pliable suedes or doeskins.

SPRING HATS T0 Bl} SMALLII NEW YORK — The BI hats won't bump on the taxi roof; they'll be almost immune to wind, and the Easter churchgoer. for the first time in years. should be able to see what goes at the front of the house,

Which isn't to say that won't be hats —just less of same.

“Smaller and simpler" is Lilly Donne's spring i947 prediction. There‘ll be lo-ts of hats without any trim at all, the milliner says. Flower gardens will be strictly out-of-clate on the daytime street. "And fancy frippery will be worn for g fancy festivity alone.

Thereli be a new cut of hair to go with them, too, says Sally Vic- tor. The hat that perched on a wad of hair is “definitely old-hat" in her book. The new, tidily manipu- lated felts and straws will sit snug- ly on smooth colffures the country over, she says.

She slept soundly while, for most of the time, James and Mr. C. from the house on the hill. iieighbored together in one h0ii5c and I Wmte» and kept one ear attuned for the least murmur from upstairs in the house across the lane. James. of course, had seen to it that I did not fail asleep “at the switch," or otherwise neglect the small one. Only once she oom- pislned and when l held a warm glass of milk, she drank it, blinked blue eyes in amazement at her now nurse and then pmmptly re- turned to sleep. Lingering there a moment to watch eyelids droop. I smiled to myself. I was recalling a conversation Jamie and I had on the same subject recently. "It would be 811 TIBM" Jamie conceded seri- ously “if we could jes’ get a good baby!" Ours was a good baby ‘last night. she was still 8!l89p.Wl1G'Ii her parents returned as, I suspect

The daytime hat will go on with- out too much primping. It'll look young and feel light. It'll travel with ease.

INSOMNIA OR SLEIFLESSNESS

The patient being bothered by insomnia or sleeplessness wants to know what to do to get some relief. That is the main though‘. in his mind-what to do to get e. good! sleep This article for today will deal with the "what to do" side of the yirohiem. '

The most common cause of in- somnia is the irltation producrd lfrom indigestion, and from the pressure of ‘argo quantities of gas in the stomach or intestines. The patient may not be aware of this cause, simply because no pain ls proiduced. However, if you can't sleep and you find that the abdo- men ivs so fuil of gas i‘. is like a drum, then I suggeit you try do- ing this: Get, out of bed and go to the bathroim and take a zvarm watar enema. using one quart of Dlsln water of about body tempera- ture.
