MILK A FOOD ' A good many people even today Sflll cling to the 01d idea that milk being a fluid cannot be a food a a. source of nourishment, says a write;- iu New Health Magazine. They xegard milk as only for in- ' Innis. No doubt the old-fashoned ‘term of reproach, “milksopfl is based on this notion. But though natural enough, all this is bad physiology. For to begin. with, all food, however solid, must be in the flrfst instance be reduced to the State of solution in order to be ab- - sorted and unless and iuitil it is absorbed. it is not a food. Everything we eat, even the most solid-hard- boiled 088$. ham, biscuits, hard cheese-all are brought down to a state of more or less perfect fluidity before they are digested and then pass into the blood. Take sugar for instance; unless is dlsolved in waicr or tea and so me perfectly invisible in its Iolutlon it cannot act as the ' mergy-giving food for which we know it to be. But sugar dimolved In water is more of a fluid than is ' milk. Thus, with milk because some of its contents are in invisable colu- tlon. they are none the less energy- gi-ving foods. 1's not the solid cheese derived from milk by clotting. but the cheese is no more nourishing than was its non-solid 13000111301‘. The fact that a nourishing sub- ptance is in solution does not ren- der it any the less nourishing. Ii DARK AND UNUSUAL CODORS FOR.

LONDON humus manna i - noon wanmnos It is 18 months since the British authorties extended the limit of the legal hours of marriage from 3 am to 6 p.m., yet the most popular wedding hour is still round about noon. This is what I learned Writes 8 woman correspondent of the-Lon- don Daily Mail at register offices and fachinoable wedding churches in Icndon. waditlon, they say. "dies hard.” At Caxton hall, Westminster, where many famous people have been married, they ranain open for marriages until 4 p.m., but the coupis who want to be married at that hour are few and far between, an official told me. "The majorty of couples come to be married round about 11:30 and up to 2:30, then there is a gradual falling off up to 3:30," he added. At Chesley Register Office, where the hours of marriage are from 8 am. to 6 p.m., they yeport that the morning is the‘ most popular time for weddings. “People like to get married early. to have a wedding lunch and go off early on their honeymoon trip. in the old-fashioned way," said a rep- resentative of the registrar. The Rev. Henry Montgomery- Campbell, rector of St. George's, Hanover square, said that the "idea of the late wedding has not caught on at all at the moment-but it may do so later, of course. ‘Inere are only one of two weddings oc- casionally which take place at a. late hour. But on ‘the whole the ex- tension of hours has made no dif- fevenoe. “Tradition dries hard among brides. The weddlfig hour, where fashionable ceremonies are con- cerned, is usually between 2 and 2:30." , The Rev. W. Perryman, of St. Mark's, North Audley street, de- lared that his church seldom sees a wedding after 3 p.m. Tiled Hearth: Washing tiled hear-tbs is apt to split the glaze, so try rubbing them instead with a. cloth .dipped in meythylated spirits and polishing them with a soft cloth.

Hence they take no shame tc themselves for losing their husbands to women who are neither younger nor better-lodslng nor more intelligent than they are. For what woman can war with sirens and vam- plres, This, of course, saves the deserted wife's face, but, in the slang of the day, it gets her nowhere. What the woman who has a husband with a wan- dering foot needs ic do is to try to find out the secret of the "other woman's" allure, the way aha makes her magic, how she throws her spell over men, and imitate her. ‘ For, after all, the siren has no cryptic formula for putting the “come here" upon men. What she knows about pleasing men and marking them eat. out of her hand every other women in the world really knows. It is the recipe for HOW TO GET YOUR MAN and HOW TO HOLD YOUR HUSBAND that Eve gave her oldest daughter and ‘that has been handed down from mother to daughter ever since, and it is made up of equal parts of keeping your hair curled and your complexion on, and rubbing a man's fur the right way and making mm feel that in your eyes that he is about seven feet high, better-looking than any cinema hero and an oracle who could settle every world problem in a. minute, if he only gave his mind to it. This, in a couple of nutshells, as Andy would say, is the whole secret of the vamp. Her technique is simplicity itself, and there is nothing in it that the Dumbest Dora of a married woman could not duplicate if she would take the trouble to do it. _ The siren makes herself attractive to the man she - want-s by being easy on the eyes. She dolls herself up and- puts her best foot foremost. Many a man has been caught by the fluttering ribbon, or a fresh wave, or a. pretty frock, just as thousands upon thousands of husbands have been lost by sloppy kimonos and run-dowu-at-the-heel shoes and faces smeared with cold cream. The fatal attraction oi‘ the business girl against which wives rgge in vain is her trimness and trigness and her being always well groome . Then the siren always shows an interest in a man whether she feels it or not, which his wife seldom bothers tc do. She listens with an alert and absorbed expression when he talks to her, and begs him to repeat that perfectly fascinating story about the dog he had when he was a. little boy. She laughs at his jokes, though she may have heard them a hundred times before. She is all sympathy over the way his boss treats him at the of- flce, and she thinks it is perfectly marvelous how he pulled ofl that stock or traded in his cold car for a new one, or was elected to‘ the Joiners u . - In a word, she makes him feel that he is a brilliant conversationalist and a wit and a. spell-binder and that she admires and appreciates him, and he naturally seeks the society of a. woman who gives him this pleas- ant reaction. Probably nine-tenths of the men who wander away from their own flresides have gone in search of a. listener, Their wives derided their opinions, interrupted their best stories w say, “Just look at the cat," showed that they were bored when they tried to talk about their hopes and plans, said, ‘Tor heaven's aalke, are you going to tall that old joke again?" when they mad u) be funny, And so when they found a woman who would lend them her ears they fell for her with- out a. struggle. The siren ewes a man 5.11m for ms money. When he tI-kes her out she makes of it a festive occasion. She makes a man feel that she is having the time of her life and that she is grateful and appreciative of the pleas- ure he is giving her. She never wet-blankets a party by finding fault with everything that has been, arranged for her entertainment. She doesnt spoil a good play, as do many wives do, by wondering every few minutes if the baby is uncovered or if the house has caught 0n fire, or take the flavor out of a. good dinner by counting the cost of every item on the menu- She peps up every little treat and adds to the joy of the oc- casion, and that is why men like to take‘ her out. Finally. the vamp yes-verses men instead of arguing with them and contradicting them. She tells a man how handsome 5nd clever he jg and how much she admires him, and because none of us ever weary of the voice that sings out praises she lays upon him a spell which he does not even desire to break. It is only after the sweetheart Whaling told 5, man how marvelous he was, becomes a wife who tells her husband how dumb ha is and what a poor makeshift of a creature, that the husband begins cocking an ear again for the voice of a fiiarmer. Oh, the technique of the vamp is simple enough. It is the difficulty of following it at which wives balk. i rnonlomy D11; show corded or tucked scams ex- tending from the fingertips to the edge of the flaring cuff.

Feather in Her Hat IYIUIJIANNIHOOII when any m. ‘riding back w Washington, Rita found herself seriously speculating on the possi- bility that Carl meant mom to her than she had lot herself believe, and in an unguarded moment- hardly aware of what she was dolnl 411s dropped her head on Carl's shoulder and said, softly, “You're nice, Onrl . . . You're the sort o! man's man a. girl would fight for." It all happened so quickly that the first Rita knew the car was motionless at the Sldg of the high- way and she was being gently crushed in arms so powerful that resls‘ was useless. Star-tied and a little frlghtcned by the unexpect- edness and violence of his impetu- ous embrace, Rita strained against him. But when his lips were press- ed to her own and his hot breath beat against her face, she felt as if all the strength of her body had gong out of her and she lay limp and unresisting in his arms. "Rita . . ." . Her eyes were closed, but her lips moved, soundlessly. “You do love me, don't you?" She opened her eyes then and because it med the right and natural thing to do, and the thing she wanted to do, she slid her hands along his arms and over his shoulders and slowly drew his face down-to hers. O O O Both Mollie and Ann were‘ in bed when Rita came in, but Ann was awake and asked, “Why don't you tum the light on, Rita? You can't see to undress in the dark." But Rita was thankful for the darkness, thankful that Ann could not see the high flush of her cheeks. “I'm getting along splendidly, thanks," she said. “How did you and Mollie find everything at Run- breckers " "About as you'd expect, I imag- ine," Ann replied without intention- al mallce. "The Senator's suffering from a bad conscience over Deane —and Selmas grieving her heart out about Carl." Rita. said nothing to this and after a. moment Ann asked, “Why don't you be a good egg and let her have him, Rita? If you loved him, it would be a dif- ferent matter." » "You couldn't, I suppose, be wrong about that?" Ann's eyes strained through the darkness, seeing nothing. "Why, yes, I could be." she conceded. "Am I?" Out of a new-born conviction Rita said quietly "I'm afraid you are, darling." But she had no in- tention of amplifying this-it was all too new and thrilling to be sub- jected to prosaic discussion. "What's all this about Senator Runbreckers conscience? You don't think he kill- ed both his secretary and his own son?" "You're not serious, of course," Ann said after a. moment's silence. "but if you want a plain answer I am not thinking."- Rita sat on the edge or the bed and kicked off her shoes. “Some- times we think whether we want to or not. But still I don't know where tflg Senator comes in." ‘Selma says he and Deane never got along as well as they might have," Ann told her. "And they had a hot battle the day before we went to Boston.

You can't imagine what that is do- ing ic the Senator." Casually, Rita u-ld, "You know, there's a possibility the police ought not to o ‘ ‘ The Senator al- ways seemed to mo a nice sort. but you never can tell." The morning papers told of Lee's failure to break the trans-contin- ental speed record, but before Ann saw a paper she had the news dir- ect from Lee himself. His wife was delivered while they were having breakfast and she read it aloud: "Motor trouble prevented break- ing record Stop Heart trouble m- sponslble for fact i I didn't care whether I did or not Stop Mother ‘ ppolnted you not with me Stop Just told her I would make good next time Stop I love you Stop I love you and I'll never stop loving you Stop Ignore last Stop. L I-lls first letter arrived Thursday and the same afternoon Ann had a. wire from her father: "Your mother and I in receipt of long leticr from Ice Monday Stop Is it true Stop Hope not. DAD" “Dad and I are cut ofl/ the same piece of muslin," Ann said when she showed the telegram to Mollie that night. "We're both afraid of money and of people with too much of it. He likes Lee enormously, but he doesn't like the idea of my marrying him." Mollie smiled. “He'll feel better about it when he knows you're real- ly in love with Ice. Why don't you go home for a little visit Your father and mother will feel hurt if you don't go back and tell them all about it before Ice pops up with a license." But Ann knew what her father's first question would be when she walked into the house . . . "Do you love him, Ann?" . . . And she knew she would need long and diligent rehearsing before she would be able to lie to him. So she wired. that he was fc believe nothing he heard and only half he saw until she came home for a visit. Ices gay, exultant letters ,and her earnest efforts to reply to them in kind wrought a noticeable change in Ann during the next two months. He was so whole-heartedly devofcd to her that it was impossible not to share his enthusiasms. During all of February and the first two weeks of March Ann saw Bill Hudson but once, and then only for a minute. She thought of him a great deal more often than she cared to admit even to herself; but even so, her bad moments over him came at increasingly greater intervtls and she fold herself that once she and Lee were married. they would not come at all. » Lee's letter announcln, that he hoped to zetum to Washington about the middle of April was de- livered 0n Monday o1 the last week in March and the next day Ann arranged to be away from the of- fice and wired her mother she was coming home for a. week's visit.
