what is the remedy for an. attack of
hiccups? ". r. z.
One good remedy Is to take deep
breath Study the hiccup first of all and
see what its rhythm Is. If you find the
hiccup comes once in seven seconds. that
is. you hiccup and then wait few sec
onds, that Is the rhythm. If 1t comes
once in twenty seconds. that Is the
rhythm. When you find what the
rhythm Is, notice when you hiccup and
then walt few seconds until It Is about
three or four seconds before time for
you to hiccup again. Then take a very
deep breath--as deep as you possibly
can. Then take in just little more and
hold the breath. Look at your watch
until the period has gone by five sec
onds and you have interrupted the
paroxysm you have broken up the
rhythm and If you do that two or three
times IL will, in the great majority Of
cases, stop the hiccup entirely. Another
good thing Is to drink a little hot water

In the style shops they are
called "tunic frocks" and Goat
dresses" but as a matter of
fact they are nothing more than
revised versions of our old
friend the Russian blouse.
Sometimes the coat tunic or
peplum is a part of the blouse
itself, and in other models it is
a separate tunic, to be worn or
not worn, as ones fancy die
tates. When the tunic is not
worn the costume becomes a
very simple morning dress, suit
able for shopping or for strictly
informal luncheons. One of
these "tunic frocks" is pictured
in today,,s sketch. The material
is tobacco-brown broadcloth,
with black silk braiding serving
as the chief embellishment. The
velvet and the buttons and
buckle are covered with the
velvet.
