a Re Romance in Story Of Bread Found Traveller in 30 Countries Found 100 Varieties of Bread Romance in the story of bread was found by A, C. Williams, Tor- onto globe-trotter, who in the world tour from which he returned re- cently found in the thirty countries visited some 100 varieties of bread, He unearthed many strange meth- ods of preparing and baking it. Mr. Williams was sent by the Long Foundation of Food Research, un- der the sponsorship of the Museum of Science and Industry Rockefeller Foundation, New York. Strange Methods of Baking Egyptian women travelling with their caravans are able to bake bread on the backs of their cam- els, he explained. Three women take part in the process. The first one has a small mill on the back of a camel and grinds the grain in- to flour. She passes this on to the second woman who works it into dough, while the third woman has a brazier of coals and bakes the flat loaves for these desert travel- lers. Dough Left on Roof Egyptian women also bake sun- bread by leaving dough on a roof under the sun for four days, he con- tinued. He told of herdsmen on the Hortabagy Plains, Hungary, who exist on bread for periods of ten days while herding. At the end of this ten-day period their wives bake fresh loaves, and carry them to their husbands. Bread is a symbol in some coun- tries and at a wedding in Czecho- slovakia which he attended the bride walked through the streets with a basket of bread, which she distributed to people she met. This gesture was symbolic of the hope that the bride would never want for bread. Ears Are Now Emerging From Former Hiding Upswept Coiffu:as Are Chiefly Responsible With upswept coiffures becoming more popular by the minute, ears --for the first time in years -- are in the spotlight again. This Is in- deed the time to resolve to stop letting your beauty treatment stop at the hairline. Get {nto the habit of placing the towel or makeup band you tie on to protect your hair behind your earg instead of fn front of them. - Then scrub ears with soap and water each time you wash your face. This will give the man-alive look which they 'may lack now, In addition, cleanse them with cream whenever you use cleansing cream on your face. And don't skip them when it comes to skin tonic or a might cream or whatever, Trouble With Large Ears If your ears are larger than you wish they were, try powdering them with powder about two shades darker than your regular face powder. Don't be tempted to rouge their lower edges, wear ear- rings or do anything else that will draw attention to their size. If they are large enough to be all out of proportion to the rest of your feat- ures or if they stick out enough to be really conspicuous, just forget about upswept coiffures. And fig- ure cut a hairstyle that looks new and in tune with the upswept trend but which does cover up your ears, Lace Curtains Are Back In Fashion Revival of Hangings Buried for Such A Long Time Lace curtains are stealing the fa- shion show again when it was thought they weve dead and buried long, long ago.

There are per- fectly lovely sheer nets, both white and ecru, not to mention the hearty looking heavy meshes. Lace ruffles and ruching edges are the last word for curtains.

A knock at the door, He opened it wide, and found Joan standing outside, the strap of her satin frock slipping down over her arm, and her wild green eyes ablaze with light, Dick grew pale but con- trolled himself. He couldn't forget what this devilish girl had done to Miss Mudge. "What do you want?" he de- manded. © "I want to speak to you, Dick. 1 want to tell you I'm sorry. I swear 1 didn't mean to hurt her--or you. I swear I didn't." "Joan, I hope never to sce you again as long as I live," said Dick, in a voice that stung like a lash, "Oh, oh, Dick, you can't mean ft! You can't have forgotten our night together." "I've forgotten everything except your unkindnesses." The door moved in her face. "No, no, Dick, don't do that!" She was looking at the closed door. He had meant it, then, It was all over with Dick, who had seemed for a brief space to find her desirable. She knocked at the door again. There was no response. She would go to the bar. An hour later Joan. was on her way to the top deck again, with the vague idea of having a plunge to cool herself off. That idiot Mac- duff was standing at the top, star- ing down at her. Now would be as good an occasion as any to tell him what she thought of him. There were times when Joan burned to express her true opinion of some of her fellow passengers and here was a good chance. An Empty Tank "Looking for Mrs. Wynant?" she enquired, reeling up against him. He pushed her off. "No," he said. "That's funny." a piercing note. her with disgust. "l don't like your looks," said Joan, "and I don't like the way you're staring at me now. Who do you think you are, anyway? You're scarcely human." She prodded him in the Macduff did not move. "But I like the way. you can grew confidential, "Let's have a brandy together. Come to my room." "No, thanks." "All right, big boy. Joan's going to have a swim." She made a gamine gesture and followed a twisting course to the pool. Macduff watched her, won- dering if she weren't tipsy enough to drown. What an appalling girl! Even before she had reached the door she stoopéd down, caught her frock at the hem and began to pull it over her head. He could see her long, slim legs. The pool was dark, except for the green light in the far corner. Her dress came off and was flung to the floor; then she spread her arms for a dive. He caught a slimpse of her gleaming back in the second before she jumped. He waited for the splash, hoping that it would sober her up. She laughed on Macduff regarded ribs. It was his duty to sce that she did , not drown. But no splash came. Only a dull crash that sickened Macduff and hurried his footsteps through 'the door that Joan had entered. God in Heaven, the tank was drained! For a moment he sliut his eyes, then leaned over the edge to look. The green light spread its sickly suffu- sion, and there, on the tiles, lay Joan.

Her face he could not see. It was crushed on the tiles. Slowly he realized that the girl must be dead. Through a mist he saw her dress lying on the floor beside him, flame red, still warm from her body. There was no other trace of her, not a scrap of underwear. She had died as recklessly as she had lived. The ship was heaving gently, rocking her white body. On every deck people were packing for land- ing. No one could know that he was standing here alone, guarding a lifeless form. He must do some- thing about it. He must start the horrible chain of machinery "mov- Ing. Two girls dead across his path! Jenny in the China Sea and the click of her heel on his wall, Joan with her braing dashed out be- fore his eyes. He had sworn to avold all human eontact, yet fate had caught him twice in the orbit of death. Was it punishment for vowing that he would travel alone and apart? Were people not in- tended to avoid one another and the burden of mutual care? Had he been ducking life and had An- gela touched his sensibilities at last? Was there something else that one must heed besides the in- violability of one's solitude and the warmth of a glass of whisky? Mac- dufi's strong Highland sense of su- perstition was aroused. Sweat stood on his brow. ed through his mind in molten mas- ses. The numbness of forty years was wearing off, and each nerve was a red-hot needle, coming to life and pricking his flesh. (To Be Continued) Guarding Child's Eyes Important See That Your Child Reads In the Right Position, the Right Light; Avoid Strain It is important to remember that these first years of reading, studying or doing any sort of close work at all may easily be a strain on your child's eyes. Up to the time he is four or five years old, Johnny has used his eyes rather vaguely. He has done a lot of staring at the sky, for instance; he has watched peo- ple and animals and things, but as a whole rather than in detail. Now, when he learns to read, write and do little sums, he is also learning to concentrate both his mind and his eyes. Rest Them Off and On Besides the obvious precautions of seeing that when he is reading or writing he is sitting at the right height, in the right light (which should always come from behind him), and is dealing with a good clear print, you should make a rule that at first the child doesn't work any more than an hour a day. - Encourage him to rest his eyes when he is not working, Teaching children to wash their eyes carefully every day is really as important as teaching them to brush their teeth. You can start by bathing them with a piece of cotton wool soaked in eye lotion, but. the best way is to use an eye- bath, Even if your child's eyes seem as strong and healthy as you could wish, it's always worth while hav- ing them tested now and again.

Thoughts flow- married in: Tiredness May Be Due Te'Worrying Often Fatigue Is Not Caused By Organic Trouble At All A patient visited a physician and complained of a tired feeling all the time. After a careful examination he advised him to visit his dentist and bring a report as to the con- dition of his teeth including an X- ray examination. When the pati. ent returned with a statement from the dentist that there was no in- fection of the teeth or gums, the physician simply turned to the pa- tient and said, "Suppose you tell me the whole story, I find no cause for your tiredness nor does your dentist, so that your tiredness is not due to organic trouble of any kind. . Yon have something on your mind, something that has you think- ing most of the day and part of the night; it is this constant thinking --worrying, or puzzling of your brain--that is keeping you con- stantly tired. And until you get it settled in some way you will re- main tired." Not The Work Itself Tiredness is sometimes said to be due to overwork but it may be the worry about the work, not the work itself that causes the tired- ness. And if the individual cannot adjust himself nicely to his 'work, then the constant upset state or this lack of adjustment is going to. keep him tired. Perseverance Is Always Required If You Want to Be Slim and Have Beautiful Hair A thorough, nightly brushing is just about the best treatment for hair. And this is true wheth- er it is too dry, too oily or just plain lifeless looking. One who brushes her hair every single night, using upward and outward strokes, of course, is sure to see an improvement within three months and a great deal of im provement within six, : The simplest, most painless way to lose weight.is to take a long, brisk walk and do a few reducing exercises. every single day. And to eat smaller portions of every- thing. No fad diets, mind you-- just smaller portions and, of course, no rich desserts. .

In every tennis club, every office, every seaside ho- tel, one or two girls make all the others look uninteresting. " Do ypu ever wonder Why? : Do you ever wonder what makes a Plus Girl? Let's analyze in detail the points that make them Plus. She's Natural You will find that her charm is based on probably unconscious obedlence to a few simple rules. She does not obey all of them .al- ways, but she does so more than the other girls. Conform to these rules, and you can be a Plus Girl yourself, 1. She {is natural. She doesn't try to be somebody else. 2. She is not afrald of being snubbed or misunderstood, doesn't waste time thinking of people as possible enemies, . 3. She looks happy. It is easy to like some one who looks happy. That does not mean put on a non- stop hyena act, but it does mean that you should make a -genuine effort to smile a lot. Make your- self look happy and you'll soon be happy. 4. She seems to be genuinely in- terested in the people she talks to. She really wants to know, about their children and their inferests. She pays them the compliment of appearing wholeheartedly interest- . ed in what they have to say. Hats For Autumn Will Be Practical The hat silhouettes for autumn are largely practical, and with an occasional exception in a tiny hat for formal wear, are designed for. general acceptance. There are pillboxes/with bright trimmings or irregular formations, tricornes which are of comfortable propor- tions with bows for height, and many spectator sports hats with brims that expose the hair at one side and with conical, high crowns, the height augmented by off-shooting quills. Among the brimless styles are a number of very high fez shapes, made of suede in a combination of two or more colors, striped or in patchwork effect. Also numerous are the visor effects, which com-' plement different small silhouettes with or without brims. " Her Cake Won the Prince » By KATHARINE BAKER The honour of being the hos- tess of the first tea room at the Canadian National Exhibition goes to Mrs. Ella Ward, of Toronto, who pioneered in this field in , 1907. With a dozen _cups and saucers, she opened the first tea room on the grounds and when the number of cups increased to 150 she sold her concession. Mrs. Ward remembers going to the Ex- hibition at the age of 6 when the only means of transportation was a horse car. Later when she went into the tea room business, open electric cars brought her to the grounds. Among Mrs. Ward's first customers was the then Prince of Wales, now Duke of Windsor. She recalls that he ate enormous quantities of her 'chocolate cake. Though the methods of trans- portation have changed and 'there are dozens of tea rooms on the grounds today, her chocolate cake is still a royal treat.

Bride Makes Home In Mining-Camp Finds it Fun, But She Misses Labor-Saving Devices Making a home. in a_ mining town may seem like work to most people, but to Mrs. John Fergu- son, Sachigo River, Ont., it is a "lot of fun", Mrs. Ferguson went to the mining centre as a bride in November. The frontier type of housekeeping doesn't bother Mrs. Ferguson. Although she misses the labor-saving devices that electric- ity makes possible, she doesn't mind a little extra work "in such pleasant surroundings." "Never Bored" : With only "three white women at Sachigo River during the win- ter, things might have been rath- er dull. "We knitted and visited and sometimes played bridge, so we were never .bored," she ex- plained. "There is a small library at the settlement and we read a great deal," k ? Living in the north is economi- cal, too, according to Mrs, Fer- guson., "Spring hats? Why, we never even thought of them. I have only one hat there and I wear it when absolutely neces- sary. In the winter it is too cold, and in the summer I don't need one." Mrs. Ferguson is a graduate of the University of Manitoba. She obtained her Master of Arts. de- gree. in 1935. p Variations of 1880 Dresses Are Show PARIS. -- Francevramant is showing charming modernized var- iations of 1880 or 1890 daytime dresses.
