or fresh spinach in December were u These are but a few of the developments that have brought changes in our food habits since Great Grandpa’s day. What some of these changes have been and how they have affected our diets is pointed out by Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. “Today, we eat fewer naturaleand more precessed and fabricated foods than we did before, Today we have a far greater variety of foods available. Tastes have changed. And there is much less difference than before in the foods eaten in different parts of the country—or from season to season.

“Prom the nutritional “standpoint,” said Dr. Stanley, “one of

the past 50 years, is the sharp inerease in the amount of milk, tomatoes, citrus fruits and leafy green vegetables that we eat.” On Debit Side These are all included on the “protective” list of foods. That is, they are foods noted for mineral elements and vitamins in which diets are likely to fall short. On the debit side. of the- nutritional ledger, Dr. Stanley places some of our ‘developed food preferences. “A modern standard of fastidiousness,” she says, “has led many of us to use the lean-muscle cuts of meats to the neglect of the organs of animals. An association of goodness with richness in fat has led us to overlook the values of skim milk. Though skim milk lacks the fat in whole milk it is as rich in protein and in much-needed calcium. “Some food-processing practices, such as a high degree of milling of wheat, refining of cane sugar, and bleaching of vegetables, have stripped natural products of certain nutritive qualities. Because we have come to associate whiteness with goodness, we often eat these foods to the exclusion of others. As a’ result, unwise food choices tend to offset the benefits -of the increased use of protective foods. And diets as they stand today often are short in calcium, and in vitamins A, Bl and C. Sometimes, Doctor Stanley believes, food habits can be reshaped on a national scale. A current in“stance of this may be the public adoption of the new “enriched” flour which mills plan to put on the market soon. This flour will be enriched with vitamins and other food

Flower Colors Popular for Spring Brides

Bride's Magazine Executive Here

Costumes of spring brides and their attendants will be more blended than contrasted in color. That’s the word from Mrs. Alexandra Potts, merchandising editor of Bride's Magazine, who has handled more than 5000 weddings. Mrs. Potts is in Indianapolis this week for consultation, by appointment, with brides-to-be, in Block’s Bridal‘ Bureau. She will comment this afternoon at the Bride's Fashion Show to be given in the store’s auditorium. Flower colors, like the hyacinth shades and the sweet pea colors, are to be high fashion for spring weddings she predicts. Jewel tones, especially the aquamarine .shades, will be fashionable. These colors will be used in the sheer fabrics, tone on-tone. The spring fabrics, says the onetime head of Lord and Taylor's Bride’s Shop in New York, will include marquisette, net and lace. Taffeta is her suggestion for the early spring bride. She emphasizes the popularity of lace aril says it will be used extensively for bridesmaid’s dresses and headdresses.

Bouffant Silhouette

The silhouette? Definitely bouffant. The waistline will be low, continuing the long torso lines popular this season. Necklines on the gowns of the brides and her attendants also will be low. The deep V, the square and - the off-the-shoulder lines are tagged for popularity in the spring gowns by Mrs. Potts. Ribbons are rather passe for the wedding “party's bouquets, she declares. Tulle in bows or in ropes with the flowers caught in loops at intervals are to be outstanding floral notes in the spring weddings. The garden baskets and the garden hat, the bridal authority predicts, will be further revived. Another floral innovation to be stressed in the spring bridal scene is giant size blossoms (petals of roses, tulips, carnations, etc., plucked and made into oversize blossoms). The all pink-costumed wedding party is giving way in popularity to the blue one—the bride in cloud blue and the attendants in a darker tone with accents of lilac. A smart wedding, suggested by Mrs. Potts, would be done in green and white with the bride in white and the attendants in light green, carrying white flowers. Another combination would include the bride in a creme au lait shade with the attendants in costumes of pink.

Increase in Consultants

Mrs. Potts has visited over 2000 retail stores throughout the country during the regular trips she makes from coast to coast, advising and assisting -stores’ with problems in connection with the bridal business. Four years ago, she reports, only 15 full time bridal consultants were in stores in this country. Today there are over 200 of them. From her observations while trav=eling over the country she visualizes the fashion consciousness of women as a large building. The windows she said are on the: outside (the West and East Coasts), and there the women “see” the fashion trends first and the Middle Westerners have them passed on to them later. In general she sees the coast people dressed “smartly,” the southern women “fussily” and the Middle Westerners “stereotyped.” Weddings are sefiting all-time records for numbers throughout the country this year, according to Mrs. Potts. In August and September, the Bride’s Magazine, which has an extensive clipping service on brides all over the nation, had more engagements on file, than ever before in its seven year history.

H. A. C. Guild to Give Valentine Party

Among dances at the Hoosier Athletic Club soon will be the annual St. Valentine’s party planned by the Woman's Guild tomorrow. Danvers Julian and his Latin American orchestra will play for dancing from 9:30 p. m. to 12:30 a. m. Mrs. Theodore Klippel, general chairman, has announced that reservations should be made at the club. At the annual club business meeting Wednesday, following election of directors, A. B. Montani will present the financial statement and yearly report.

Society Sponsors Dance

The annual Valentine dance sponsored by the Holy Name Society of St. Roch’s Catholic Church will be given in the church hall, 3603 S. Meridian St., tomorrow evening. Harold Beckert is chairman, assisted by Lawrence Daily.

Mrs. Lamb to Speak

Mrs. Russell W. Lamb will speak on “History and Heroes of the Argentine” tomorrow at 8 p. m. at a meeting of Junta Pan-American in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cravens, 2212 W. Washington St.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a wretched girl. I am 20 years old and love a man 15 years my senior who is a widower with a small son: He is a fine, clean man, well-educated, and has a wonderful personality. He is good looking with the exception that his ‘hair is slipping. We have gone together some and found that we

-are very congenial, but the kids my own age ridiculed me so much that I stopped seeing him only once in awhile, but the love is still there and grows stronger. We are both miserable even though we do go out with other company. I have other boy friends, one in particular, who is my own age. He is good looking and good company but he drinks and is a spendthrift. He asks me repeatedly to marry ‘him but I just can’t. I want a home of my own and children for I love them, and the only career I crave is to-be a wife and mother. Although I feel that life without this older man would be dust and ashes I can’t bring myself to say yes to his pleadings because of the fear of what people will say and think. LONELY.

” 2

Answer—It is my opinion that where yes is such a hard word to say it should not be said at all. If you loved this man enough to marry him, would you care what people say? Isn't it the fear that your friends may be right in ridiculing such an unequal union that holds you back? In almost every marriage you hear people wondering what she saw in him and what he saw in her. Rare is the perfect match which is approved by all who know the couple. Usually the girl isn’t upset at all by the pessimistic opinions of her friends but clings to her choice the more stubbornly when she meets with opposition. Now that the man is going with nother girl you are torn by jealousy. Even though you ‘are afraid to marry him ‘yourself you don’t want anybody else to have him. This is a very human’ attitude, but still rot a: good basis upon which to marry. You miss the flattery of his devotion.and would like to have it back. Still you don’t want to commit yourself. : Why be in such a hurry to marry? At 20 you €an afford to wait for a union which does not arouse so much conflict. The young man of your own age is obviously unsuitable, but there are others. Perhaps you feel that should marry while you have the chance for fear no one else will ask you. Have the courage to hold off for a partner whom you can love without so many doubts. JANE JORDAN.
