Fresh vigour to >'ts will, Not. with the morning does it spring Nor with the eve be still. Tin; happy family: A GOOD DEFINITION The happy family, is the one whose members, do not measure one an-, other by outside #&tndards. In too many families the belief nourishes that home is a place where failings ale noted and remembered while one’s good qualities arc ignored. Ft is easy to see faults at home and virtues everywhere else. But it is healer to reJy upon instinctive affection than upon comparisons. lIIGH-HEELED SANDALS FOR THE FRENCH TO WEAR The shops in Paris this summer were full of' tar ous forms of sandals ranging from gold and silver Grecianlooking ours, wh ch arc the latest thing for evening wear, to strange day time u,fTairs with a few strappings of lizard or coloured leather attaching the high-heeled solo to the foot. As far as afternoon- shoes are concerned ,velvet is on old-fasl»ioncd favourite which seems to have come hack to stay.

ItlZMtn L NOVELTIES Among the many novelties in costume jewellery is one known as 1 he “tremble pin.'’ This naiilo is mure than usually d ; scrip ivc, as the nov- » lty consists of a design ot marcas-te or rhinestones attached to the pm proper by a dedicate spring. Thus * ho design becomes movable, enhancing (lie brilliancy of the stones. Bowknots, butterflies, floral and leal designs are favourites in pus and of this type. An undulating necklace is another l.oveity. which because,.of its peculiar construction, changes somewhat .in appearance with every motion of the wearer, 'lids unusual effect is produced by stringing, very t small stone 3 on fine wire, kike the “tremble piny* it augments tbo scintillating qual.ty by increasing the surface exposed to the light. Seed pearls and tiny mock jewels are host suited to this type of necklace. Another comparative novelty is the above the elbow bracelet, this Being ©-.her a single broad band of .jewels or a number of slender circles Bold w'ill a. jewelled bar. A l the present tine, the abo v e- the-elbo w bracelet serves a. very practical as well as ornamental purpose. It can be ]K>sed j n vs lK ;h a way as to ho VI in place the iop of one’s long evening gloves or at least one of them. It also serves as a. delight-fill finish for the fashionable little puffed sleeve. novelties in paths ODDS AND ENDS IN JEWELLERY No one can quite beat the Parisian modiste at the business ot i>vov - ding ecutinual novelty (says a London Dail,y Express correspondent). At. the moment, wh.cu th© dress seejets have been fully revealed, new odds and end-: of jewe’lcry and offer accessory:.* are being brought forward i acn day. course, there is something new , : ii .©very direction. bu,r jr -.rffaps the most interesting of all is the new v bite jewellery. Ill's year many <_>! the necklaces ami bracelets serve a double purpose. As we 1 ! as being entirely original ornaments, they lake the (dace oi ty } it collars and cuffs with the all papular black and white ensembV. CHILBLAINS Th« coming of cold weather brings hack the discomforts of ohilb La ins to manv unfortunate people. The chilblain is really a, mild form of “ frostbite" which..chiefly affects those, who-have a “sluggish circulation.’’ Sudden change, ol teinpeiatui<‘- is the exciting factor, and clulhlaiiiM can bo prevented to some extent bv avoiding this anu paying atrenLion to the general health. The din N-iu-ukl be plentiful, and supple meiited with cod-liver od and malt in (I’.iildreii. Outdoor exercise i..s another Igu'id tiling, biit gloves, must he worn if thi- weather is cold',, and --dockings | niiist he warm. In a chilblain sufferer two tilings am at fault —tuo blued and the tiny vc. -cl it which it iloWs. Without going into details, it will suffice to- say Dint exposure to cold* causes the fluid to leak away from these minute vessels in Ltr the surrounding- tissue. T his results in tire red. itching, and paiui‘u[ swelling which, we- know a-s. a chilblain. Bo for© the swelling forms the toe (or whatever part is affected) becomes white and cold, and it is in this early stage that simulating liniments ii.ro niost valuable. The rest of the treatment aims at making the bleed and its vessels behave properly .relieving the discomfort of the itching and protecting the c/hilhlaiu from contamination if it lias ulcerated. Bathing in ■warm water and electrical treatment deal with tile fault in the blood vessels. Antiseptic, applications are required if the skin surface is broken, and the affected parts should he kept covered up. The odd fact is noticed by fcotoie winter sports enthusiasts that a visit

lo tlie TungarLro Cl i a lean or to Mount Cc ok ot ton ; oil u sets the mowt obstinate chilblain tu* disappear. This is probably due to the tonic effort of the life—exercise, fresh air, good appetite a.ud general fitness —rand yku to the fact that people take more ea.re in protecting themselves against the cold.

DIET FOR IJLSINEsS WOMEN The problem of the b its in ess woman’s diet is net an easy one to stive, writes. Sir. Bruce Bruce-Porter in a Loudon, journal. Many women aro obliged to prepare their breakfast in the morning before starting out in a hurry to w ork, and then, have to prepare their evening meat on their return homo ■when tired out. Their places of. occupation, usually being iu .crowded cities, are in such situations that -restatjra.nts•’capable*of providing a good meal within reach of their udehets -are relatively few a.ud far between, the workers «ro all turned out about the same time, and tin* ‘hpiiek lunch’’ counters are not very satisfactory places fur a substantial meal.

Maniy of the more onterpri.~iiig business firms have realised this fact, and provide canteens, in vv.iieh their employees' can obtain a good meal at a. price tor i *cs p aiding to th ,oj r saJuries., and accommodation wliQre they t an eat their ow n meals if they pre for to bring them. In casys. within my ow n knowledge where the firms have made this* possible, and contributed handsomely towards, the cost of the food, they have be mi more than repaid by the imoruved health and efficiency of their employees. Unless sufficient time and the means of obtaining their meals bo convenient, business womoii would be. far wiser to make a very light mid-day meal of fruit, wholemeal bread and butter,. and a glass of milk, and have their substantial meal at the end of trie day. Tim average person does uot realise dial the food eaten ou any given day docs net tiro vide the energy fur the actual day gin which it is taken. Food must, first be digested and built up into the tissues, when some time later it is broken down toi provide the Leal and energy which mean liic.

IMPROVING A FRUIT SALAD AYlien you are mixing a fruit salad add a light sprinkling of finely-chop r>f*d nuts—■•almonds, walnuts, or any kind you like. Tt makes the salad mm*o interesting and improves the flavour. As a foundation. for t'io ;Mad use a tin of peaches or apricots, ns- their ia*te is delicious and the syrup mingles well with raw' fruit.
