to follow the present fad.
for anklets are trying to dc-;
cide whether to wear them under
their filmy. flesh-colored stockings
or to follow the fad to its logical
conclusion and wear them with
no stockings at all. That is
what some of the motion-picture
stars do.
At French seashore resorts bare
legs were not unheard of this
summer, but they were not espe-
cially noticeable. In fact there is
nothing at all striking or shock-
ing in the effect of stockingless
legs, for they look so very much
like all other legs—covered only
by the slicerest of light stockings.
At one of the race meets in
Paris earlier in the season a
woman was seen with bare legs
adorned with a water-color floral
design. The amazing thing was
that she was an American and she
was not a mannequin. From the
Parisian point of view of course it
seems quite ununderstandable how
any woman not a mannequin and
not an aciress~~in no way obliged
by her position to make herself
WOMEN who have determined
i no

of that sort. i
Women ot'tcn excuse themselves-
for new fashions —-~ absurd or
otherwise—~on the ground of
economy. Now they say that siieeri
silk stockings are very expensivci
and that send is very bad for them}
At the seashore they wish to go‘
without. But as yet the number
of women either here or abroad
who have given up stockings is
surely not. great enough to war-
rant any alarm on the part of the
stocking makers.
In the meantime stockings are
increasinglyimportant in the ward-
robe of a wolbdressed woman. and
it is more and more important to
choose stockings wisely and know»
ingly. Some well—dressed women
follow the rule of wearing stock-
ings always that are just a shade
lighter than the shoe with which
they are to be worn. This rule
they apply save when for evening
they wear the very palest bois tie
rose satin slipper iind then the
stocking matches exactly.
One must indeed have well~
trained eyes nowadays to be able:
to. wear shoes and stockings of’
just the right shade. There is!
really a deal of difference between ’
such shades as "atmosphere" and}
"champagne'f “bran" and "toast."}
French nude is one thing and ordi-i
nary nude another. There are!
aziec and almond and a number of’
other shades of which stocking!

might describe as beige or lighti

RUIT for the first course at

There are many delicious and

than any of them is half a grape-

people prefer the fruit in the form

pineapple juice and the sweetness
of the other fruit may make it

Diced watermelon added to any
frcsli~fruit cocktail is good.
Oranges. peaches and watermelon
make a good combination.
If the cocktail tastes flat, add a
little lemon juice.
Another thing to add flavor «is

Apples diced are good in cock-

WHIPPED CREAM

DOES PEPSIN AID DIGESTION?
tant ferments which go to

is the substances known as “pep-
ONE of the extremely impor-
sln". a ferment. which has the
property of converting tissue-
building foods into peptones.
which. in turn. can pass through
the membranes and be absorbed
into the biliod. In chemical coni-
poaition, pepsin is not unlike the
saliva ferment. ptyalin. but its ef-
fects are entirely different. and it
is because of its action upon the
proteids which reach the stomach
that it is an essential to good
digestion.
When a person's system fails to
produce a sufficient. quantity of
this ferment. physicians often
supply this deficiency from outside
sources. utilizing the dried mucous
linings of pigs and calves which
contain a high percentage of this
substance. In this day. the
patient is enabled to compensate
for the lack of pepsin in the gas»

“COSIPRISE” AND

ECAUSE of the similarity in

though they look alike. there is
no likeness in meaning.
“Comprisc.” means “to contain,
to encircle. to inclose." etc. as in
the sentence. "A few words com-
prised his entire stock of French."
"Compromise" li a 5 various
meanings. as “to adjust or settle
by mutual agreement. to put in
danger. to expose to suspicion or
discredit. etc." We speak of a
person being found in a "compro-
mising" position.
it is this last definition of
that makes ludi-
crous the error in a recent "Book
of Etiquette." This book gives as
a sample invitation to the opera:
