Margaret Mather's sudden death, fol-
lowing closely upon the receipt of bad
news, brings up again the old question:
Can people die of broken hearts? Curious
TO know what science would say on the
subject, I consulted a leading neurologist
of Pittsburg on hearts in general
1.-The term broken heart is not in the
nomenclature of medicine" he answered.
This fact stands. however. Anything that
constitutes a nervous shock may cause
death from that which is sentimentall2
known as a broken heart. Margaret
Mathet's death is not a case in point,
though. She was suffering from acute
Bright's disease. Fatal results are likely
to follow sudden shock if the person De
suffering from this disease. That is not
death from a broken heart, however.
''In cases of this latter class the ex-
plosion on the human system is not d.
rectly upon the heart, though it. being
a central organ, is wonderfully suscep-
tible and is most dependent upon the ner-
vous system
This is evidenced frequently by the
pain, or the oppression, or the anguish
felt in the region of the heart These
painful impressions that are referred to
the heart under these circumstances are
probably due to the disturbance of the
solar plexus, of which you heard so mucn

"In fatty degeneration of the heart
there may be an actual rupture of the
muscular walls of that organ, but this
rarely occurs. In cases of this class,
however, the rupture is not caused by a
shock, although such a thing might be
possible.
The action of grief and worry is al
ways bad on the nervous system The
man or woman who would have strong
nerves and good health must take lire
joyously. That is the great lesson to be
learned"
Short skirts are IN order for the out
door girl this summer. The outdoor girl
is not the summer girl. She is the girl
who plays tennis and golf, who swims ana
rows and rides horseback. Like men?
Yes, she adores them as companions. but
doesn't care snap about them as possi-
BILE lovers She dresses for comfort to
please herself, and all her skirts are maze
short. No matter whether the material
is thick or thin, the skirt is cut 10 reach

wore one, but, bless you! she doesn't. She
wears a low shoe, because experience has
taught her that leather does not conceal
size or shape, and she gets a better ankle

are worn The most stunning of these
short skirts are made of white cotton chev-
