OPTICAL ILLUSION

CRIPPLES LEGS CAN NOW BE LENGTHENED

A New York institution, the Hospital for Diseases of the Joints. has been very suamsful with operations to lengthen the legs of cripples.

It is an amazing process. You can

not stretch a leg but you can allow nature to lengthen it. It is a procem, not of stretch-

ing. but of cutting. The leg below the knee has two bones, the tibia and fibula. If it is desired t0 lengthen a. short leg, these bones are cut through and the pieces drawn apart very slightly. This done, nature steps in.

Bone lass a natural power to reproduce itself, just as new skin forms over a wound. New bone accordingly fills the slight sever- ance. This process is carnied out again and again, until an inch or more is added to the length of the leg. It is said that there is nothing to prevent a short man, not a m-lp- ple from adding to his stature by this process. six-feet-four may be- come slx-feet-sixi

MANY DIAPERS ARE NEEDED TO KEEP BABY EV COMFORT

The modern mother changes her ba-by quickly, and a healthy baby may often require as many as 24 or 30 clean diapers every 2i hours. Therefore many authorities recom- mened four dozen, and having them will save the household from constant laundry problems.

This combination of scarlet and purple is one that has been used frequently by the House of Worth, A long cape of the same scarlet crepe is worn over the gown and the purple motif is further carried out by a row of asters caught in the hair at the nape of the neck.

The frequent use of flowers gives a decidedly summery air to the Worth clothes this season. ‘A printed silk will be trimmed in matching flowers, while a gown of soiled color will be worn with flow- ers of a, contrasting shade. With formal evening clothes, a. posy or two is often seen tucked in the hair by the ear.

A gown of black and white plaid silk is so draped that the plaid runs in diagonal lines. Here again, is the Sari influence that is so popular everywhere this season. One shoulder strap is plain and from the other is attached a small circular oapelet. A row of rod flowers trim the cor-sage and a, flower or two are caught in the hair. Worth makes another at- tractive use of flowers by putting a garland on one shoulder strap and Zeaving the other strap plain.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HANDS

‘The average housewife is faced with two chief hand problems.

The first problem that con- fronts her is how to keep her hands white and free from stains- the second is how to keep her hands soft and smooth. Of coin-ac‘. the average housewife has to use water a great deal iii the course of her day's work. That always wnds to roughen and coal-sen the hands, but theme is no need for her to allow her hands to come in- to contact with’ the waiter.

Before making any use of water

at all, the housewife should smooth a quantity of camphor ice on her hands, and massage it into the skin- Then she should don .a paid of rubber gloves, and proceed with her work. The rubber gloves won't interfere at all with her efficiency if she procures the thin. well- fitting variety. When her tasks ' ‘ -' dli-Stling and cleaning, she may wear loose cotton gloves. in- stead of the rubber ones. After completing her work. she should remove her EIOWQ and cleanse her hands well with a pin-e bland soap and tepid water. And after the cleanslnfl. she should mgggg a. good bl and lubricating hano lotion into the skin of her hands. In addition, the housewife should lubricate he!‘ hands every night before rotirlilfl with a rich nourishing hand cream. This procedure will counter- act any ohapping or roughening. and will keep her hands soft and ‘smooth despite the wear and tear of strenuous household tasks.

_ How to Bleach Of course, the average house- wife‘: hands need bleaching trout- ments, too, in order to keep them appiopiaicly white and nee from vegetables stains and discolora- tions. And a good bleaching soap is exceiie ‘ for this. To make such a soap, place a wine glass full of eau-de-ooiogne and one of fredh. strained lemon juice in a small pammldtothisapoundofpure. white castile soap that has been

Should Absent Husband Begrudge Wife Inno- cent Pleasure After Years of Strain?-- What Can I do to Improve My Busi- ness Ability? sks Girl

I Dear Miss Dix-I am 2Q years old. Married and have two children, 3 and 4. I lost my job and had to send my wife and children home to her people. Since she has cone back home her friends are taking her out in

anywhere because I love her and the babies too much, but when I asked her to give up her good times and stay at home with the babies she laughed at me and told me to leave her alone; that she had been tied down for lix years and that while rho had the Ohflflcg she was Boing toenjoy herself. She said that-when I got a job we would go back together again. I love her better than anything in the world, but I am not going to put up with her run- ning around. Please advise me what to do. J.

V. X. Answer:

Do nothing. Let her have her little fling. . which scents to be innocent enough. She is back home among the old friends of her girlhood and they are giving her a. few parties. That is all the situation is when you look at it with clear eyes instead of through jealous ones.

Of course it is true, as the old proverb says, that misery loves com-

pany, and in your secret heart you want your wife to be as blue and des- pondent as you are. You can't bear to think of her enjoying herself when you are unhappy. It tears the heart out of you to think of her laughing when you feel like weeping, but while this is a very human way to look at the matter it is a selfish one and, in reality, if you did not love yourself better than you do her, you would be glad that she can forget her troub- les for a little time and dance and be gay.

In a way your wife's conduct is just a reaction from the strain of the last few hard years. Think of what she has been through, bearing two children only a year apart. Washing, cooking, aufllbblnfl, baby-tending. Wonking beyond her strength. Tied down in her house, as in n. Jail, by

little children who could not be left alone a minute. Never even going out - _ ' '

your job.

Pretty hard on any woman. Terribly hard when that woman is only - a girl herself, with all of youth's craving for ~pleasure. Now she is back home and mother is taking care of the babies to give her a rest. She can get a good night's sleep. She can slip some of her responsibilities. Her old friends are rallying about her and giving her good times, and it seems so wonderful w her to laugh and dance and forget for a little while the shadow that hangs over her that it is not strange that she tells you to let her alone when you try to stop her pleasure.

This doesn't mean that she doesn't love you, or won't be glad to go back to you when you are able to support her. bhe will come back to you all the more eagerly and with all the more affection for you if you are big enough and generous enough to see the situation as it is and to trust her and make her feel that you are glad for any happiness that comes to her. Furthermore, she will come back to you refreshed in body and spirit, as she would not be if she spent all of her time pining for you and brooding i over her misfortunes.

The strongest appeal that any man ever makes in a woman is when he shows consideration for herhappiness. So don't begrudge your wife her slice of cake. She will get fed up on it and go back, willingly and satia- fled, to domestic bread and butter. RUIHY DIX.

to be poised, industrious and overcome self-consciousness? I am the only girl in the office and I want to know if it is all right for mo to read a book. when the boss hasn't anything for me to do. GREENE,- Answer: _

I take it from your letter that you are a stenographer and so the book I would most earnestly recommend for your perusal is the dictionary. You have no idea how few stenographers can spell, nor with what a death grip we who hire them hang on to one who does know how to spell and who has some familiarity with words of more than one syllable.

- If I were a girl starting out in business as a stenograplier, I would begin at the first page of the dictionary and memorize a Page of words every day until I not only knew how to spell but was familiar with the usage and meaning of every word from A to Z.

And if I had lots of time, as you have, I would take up the study of French or Spanish or Italian until I could take dictation in it, for thereby would I increase my usefulness and my chances of getting a better salary.

And I would familiarize myself with the business in which my em- ployer was engaged and particularly with the technical tgmm used in it, so he would not have to stop and spell out phrases that seemed as cryptic to me as Chinese when he was giving me a letter, and I would practice my typing until I could turn out clean and accurate work. For that is the wags Iswotilild expect to rise to being a private secretary and "invaluable

m _..

Time will cure you of your self-consciousness. Experience will give you poise. And you will be industrious, or not, according to your own will power and desire to succeed. For the rest, the best advice that l can give you is to be friendly with all, but familiar with none. Keep your love aflairs and your dates outside of the office. Don't let young men hang over your desk during working hours. Don't let anybody talk to you over the phone. Don't call up anybody on your employer's time. Many a girl loses her job because she becomes a telephone pest. Don't lpend your time making up your face in office hours. Don't chew gum. , Don't wear rattling jewelry or come to work dressed as ‘i! you were going to a party. Don't tell oifice secrets. r

Of course it is all right for you to road a book when you have nothing else to do, and if that book happens to be the dictionary your employer will emit shouts of joy and thanksgiving. ROTKY DIX,

Penthouse Love By ALMA SIOUX SCARBERRY

CHAPTER 28

Tears began to fall d6wn Charitys cheeks and splash on the coverlet. Doug gave her hand a weak little pressure. His lips moved.

“Kiss — mo Charity."

Wonderiugly she bent over him to give him a soft little sisteriy kiss on the mouth. But at; the contact all the blood in her body cried out for his response. She kissed him again, almost roughly, and felt his arms reaching up to her.

With a wild lit le sob of joy she laid her face close his and felt his arms holding her close. Ellie couldn't believe he realised who she was. But it was-heaven. He was delirious and thought she was Yanner. It couldn't be she-Charlty-that Doug wanted in hold and kiss.

But from the moment her lips met Doug's for the first time Char- ity knew she loved him. Strangely, it, did not surprise her. She held him there, tenderly stroking his white cheek, and closed her eyes.

She wouldn't let him diel Doug had to live. Even though he loved the girl who was dying in the room next to him-—he must live. She remembered then that she nad promised Batch she would marry him when ahe was free. But even if death gave her that freedom—therc could never be anyone but Doug. She did care for Batch-but in a different way. Because he'd been ao good in her.

Doug sank again into a coma. But
