Feed your Nerves & Forget them
WHEN you are "run-down" and "nervy
the reason is simply that your nerves need food. The wastage of nerve cells and tissue that is continually going on has not 'been made good by sufficient restorative
material.
Make “Ovaltine" your daily beverage in place of tea, coffee, etc., for it is abundantly rich in the nourishment which rebuilds worn nerves and restores lost energies.
"Ovaltine" is a scientific combination of the nutritive elements extracted from the best, of Nature's tonic foods-ripe barley malt, creamy milk and eggs. The essential food elements are correctly proportioned in "Ovaltine" for all needs of the nerves and body, and are presented in the form of a delicious, easily- digested beverage.
Feed your nerves with the nutriment they need and you will no longer be a prey to them.

In olden days, Sybil Lawrence, it was taken for granted that girl's education ended simultaneously with the no- tion of putting up her hair and coming out socially. The marvel WHEN that much an ignorant cra should have produced any women with braids at all.
We may be Eron-eropped and shingle-hended to-day, but at least we have learnt the all-important lesson that education does not end with our college days, but con- tinues throughout our lives.
I was very interested in the pro- gress of the recent Conference, held at Cambridge, by The British In- stitute of Adult Education," and especially so, because it dealt with, and advocated the education of alluita, and got only of children.
Still Learning
I remember a friend telling me e day how she had been listening in the House of Commons to, a debate on the subject of educating children. The chief anxiety seem ed to be to catch them young was the burden of her complaint, and to obtain a closer co-ordina sign in order to equip the boys and girls for the responsibilities of "citizenship."
Excellent in principle no doubt, but why do so many people confine their educational suggestions to children ?
HAVE YOU AN OLD FASHIONED' FACE?
SOME PARIS TRUTHS ABOUT FACE AND
FIGURE MODELS.
[BY P.L
Your clothes may rome from Vionnet or Cheruit, your hats from Maria Gay or Reboux, and your shoes from Bunting or Julien, but none of these things will make you smart if your figure is not fashion- able or your face is a little out of | date. Until a few months ago women were slim, straight chested. Now, however, a figure is up-and-dow, in fact, almost fat-

Women must still be slim, but no longer flat-chested.

But they are no criterion. Al the years that smart English and American women were Bat and boyish, the mannequins of the Paris dress houses that cater for the French and South American woman have had plenty of figure, and made no attempt to conceal it.

My Governess.
AN. for domestic science, my governesses had either never heard of the subject, or else considered it beneath their notice! The re- ault of this attitude of theirs was that I married without knowing anything about either the care or welfare of children. Yet of all careers, that of motherhood and housewifery is one which requires the utmost study and preparation. It is indeed a higher form of educa- tiun in itself.
I see that Lord Eustace Percy, in addressing the recent Conference at Cambridge, emphasised the "dan- gers attendant on students over- estimating the importance of ob taining a degree. This is a point of view with which the majority of thinking people will surely concur, since to concentrate on one subject to the exclusion of all others, is apt to narrow a person's mental vision to a dangerous extent:
The science of higher education Bs we understand it to-day, is to aim at developing the growth of our minds in as many directions as possible, and not to retard that growth by "cramming" the brain with an individual subject.
Personally, I venture the opinion that if we agree with the principle laid down, that education does not erase with one's college days, but continues throughout one's life, then we should take steps to put such a principle into practical exe- cution with as little delay as pos-
sible.
For instance, the institution of a series of lectures for adults, similar in character to the Oxford Exten- sion lectures, would go far towards minimising many educational de- fects. Then, in order to give’girls living in the country an equal chance with town dwellers, these dould be held in the villages as well a4 the cities.

A tragic story was told at Thames Police Court when Mrs. Chrissie Saville, aged thirty-two, bound over on remand on a charge of abandoning her two babies, aged two-and-a-half years and mine months. The condition of the bond was that Mrs. Saville went into the workhouse.
The woman, who was homeless and destitute, left the children, Billy and Johnnie, late at night in a street in Stepney Green. They were afterwards taken to the work- house.
No Prosecution,
Mr. Fail, for the Stepnes guar" dings, now said that in view of the woman's poorly nourished con- dition and other circumstances, the guardians did not intend to prose- Gute under the Vagrancy Acts.
Detective Sergeant Christopher said that the woman had been mar- ried three times, and had five child- ren. One by her first husband, who was killed in the war, was being enred for by a relative

ing just recently the Mayor of this fashionable Mediterranean resort really was so, thanks to a wedding party:
"We want to be married" said the two principals of the party. There was nothing unusual in that, but even the wise Mayor of such a town like Antibes where anything might happen any day had rever heard of people being married in bathing suit.
Wearing the most stunning swim- ming suit ever tailored in the Rue de La Paix, Miss Hilda von Her- rlich, of Kansas City, smiled coyly at the blinking mayor and gripped tighter the art of her bridegroom, M. Maurice Chalom, of Constan tinople, likewise attired like a. beach lifeguard.
Surprise for the Mayor. Behind them were the wedding guests, ench and all dressed to swim.

WEDDING STOPPED BY

COUPLE NOT ALLOWED TO MARRY.
The law which came into force in May prohibiting the marriage of girls under sixteen years of age prevented the marriage of a young couple in Bath after the banns had been called three times at St. Mat thew's Church, Widcombe.
The Mayor thought it was a joke. but the bride with the typical in- sistence of American feminines soon showed otherwise. The papers were all in order and, since Napoleon when he drew up the legal code governing marriages which still exists made no regulations as to Lype of dreas there were no objec tions in the way. So the Mayor, ripening his wisdom of the eccen- tricities of love, there and then tied the knot, whereupon husband and wife and their guests went back in- to the sea to finish their bathe.
The bride afterwards explained that the marriage was decided upon months. while she and M. Chalom were
