cause YOU think this or that is re- sponsible for your distress You are often aroused from sleep in the cold gray dawn with all the symptoms re- fcrrable to a stomach in full activity and not Workin right; and so famiN- jar do you become with the relief afforded by any kind of food you adopt the plan of leaving some bis cults by your bedside, in order to se- cure such comfort as will enable you to sleep again.
 Your skin has become inelastic and greasy, your complexion muddy. You are neglecting perhaps to brush your teeth. You are getting clammy hands and cold feet; waves of heat and cold radiate over your body; you have chilly organizations.
 Soon or later the part of your ner- vous system takes in the disturbance becomes so predominant that the di- gcStVe phenomena take second place. You are now mentally wretched and so obsessed with the increasing evidence of failing health your imagination works overtime here-that you give over taking part in lifes ceremonies and duties. All else is subOrdinated to anxieties about your health; you have become a hyPochrondriac; you fear cancer or some other serious explanation Of your symptoms: and this fear Is fed by, the recurring pain in the region of your stomach and by your heart burn.
 Well. don't worry. Go to your doc tor and be thoroughly examined If fatigue dyspepsia is the diagnosis, you will probably live your three score and ten. If this were a fatal malady a very large contingent of US plenty of company in your misery, especially in these days of unhygien- ic living.

Thrills But No Bruises

Take the Giant Roller Coaster, for instance. This huge pleasure device is the largest in the country. It rises 70 feet in the air and dips 6 feet below the ground. It is $500 feet long, cost sSO,0O0 to build, and is full of hair-raising high spots and low spots, and breath-taking whirls. But-safety is always assured, for there are guard rails, and extra tracks to protect Bridgeport citizens from the slightest possible injury. You get a thrill but no bruises in your trip around this youth-renewing contrivance.
 It is difficult to describe the island, for while it is the same as when it was the old Steeplechase, yet it's diff ferent. All the old amusements are there-and heaps of new ones, too. Folks like the old things-and for them is the park, the swimming pool, the beach, the huge restaurant, the cafeteria, the dance hall and the roll CT skating rink and the ride in an airship. =
 For those who like innova tions there are the Dodeem, the Fun House the Pig Slide, the Kentucky Derby its hard to name them all, there are so many.
 Huge Dance Hall.
 The dance hall must have special mention for it is the second largest in the country-spacious and open to the Sound breezes. There is room for 2,500 couples with retiring rooms to fit as many more, and with an orchestra of forty pieces, playing all the old favorites that just make you get up and jig!
 The floor space takes up 27,oO0 square feet, and there is room, be- sides the dancers for 2,O00 specta- tors There isn't a post in the place, which is a great deal in its favor, for we all know how disa gree able it is to dance about, lodging posts.
 Going back to the new things, the DodGem is one of the most interest ing. You sit serenely with your best girl or fellow in a shiny little round car, and drive it yourself. You

 , All of us know plenty of folks who never stop correcting those they love- And sometimes when we're there at the time the discipline is going on 1t aRnoys us. We call it fault-find- ing or nagg:ng.
 Of course, in case we ourselves do it-thats different It is just be- cause We hold those We love to high standard that We are so dis appointed when they fall below it. We want the best from those we love best. We can't bear to see our dearest ones acting unworthily or in secQHd-Tate manner.
 So forgetting how much we like praise, We hand out a dole of blame and correction and nagging and then wonder why t.le very person we love best in all the world seems happier anywhere than at home with us.

 Did you notice something funny ter our visit to Pat DaltonS apart ment.
 About you, our host or the world in general?" I parried.
 About your hubby-and the way he couldn't get up his nerve to let on to Pat that the news of the pur- chase of the Harrison estate and its transfer to Virginia had reached his ears,'' replied Jim.
 "I never thought of it,' I con fessed. ''I took it for granted that you and Neal had talked it all over with Pat.'
 Cant answer for the kid, but I've never let out peep"
 "No, and you're not lettin' out a peep about a more important sub ject. That's a way you have, Jim, I replied in irritation and unhappi- ness that would not down.

 "Oh, Jimmie-dear, don't make il so hard for me to lecture you" begged, nesting my head against his shoulder. "Cause I have to, dear whether I like it or not.''
 You may fire when ready. Grid ley" quoted Jim. 'Now what have I done to make the wee wife ashamed of me? Wasn't I nice to Tommie? Or was I too nice? Go to it. Don't spare my gray hairs"
 Please. Jim I begged. "1 ou know just as well as I do"-

 A Good Letter Writer.-Here is hint you may use: My friends say they like to get my letters because they are so full of things that inter- est them. I would never give away my secret of writing an interesting letter If | had to put my name to it, but sending it this way, anonymously, I don't mind. and hope it will help others to write good letters. This IS how I do it:
 I keep a cheap little notebook in drawer of my desk and each page of the book is headed by the name of think of. or read of. or see, something that i know will interest a certain friend, I go at once and jot this thing on the page which I have all lottcd to that particular friends name. Ir this way I am able to white to "A" about only the things I know "A' will be interested in: and to 'B" about only what I know "B'' will enjoy reading. and so on. For I wait till I have filled certain friends page with jottings before attempt to write a letter to that friend; in this way I have plenty of material to write about. The trou- ble with most peoples letters is that they are filled chiefly with things that interest the sender. not the re- ceiVer."

 Fl. r. W-.-"1cre is my recipe for RicS and Apricot Pudding: 1-4 pound of rice ? pints of milk. 1-2 teaspoon butter. tablespoons sugar, eggs. and about l , half-pieces of dried ap- ricot (more may be used if one likes the flavor stronger). Put the soaked rice in a saucepan with the milk. su- gar and butter and let simmer slow ly for hour. Then remove from range and let cool: when almost cold add the eggs well beaten. Then butter a mould and place in it alternate layers of pieces of apricot (which have been previously simmered in a little water until tender) and the cooked rice with the egg in it. The layers should be about one-inch thick Bake in a moderate oven for twenty minutes. turn out on a dessert plate. and serve hot. with a boiled custard sauce.

For I am sick and capable of fears.

For I am sick and capable of fears.
 Shakespeare.
 Have you a shoddy nervous system the result of a more or less conn picte breakdown? Are you loslng weight? Is your sleep broken ana dream-disturbed, your appetite capri cious. Have you that inevitable tired feeling. with lack of mental concentration, the memory playing you tricks? Are you irritable, rest less and depressed? Is a conviction becoming firmly rooted in your econ omy that the times are out of joint and the world is going to the dem milton bowwows?
 If you feel like this, then you are probably suffering from fatigue dys- pepsia. Your appetite is not neces- sarily impaired, but you become sus- picious of one thing after another in your daily dietary; and those things you cut out of your menu, hoping in this way to find relief from the mis- erable discomfort you come to expect will inevitably succeed every meal.
 You experience this discomfort not imme diately, but two or three hours after food; then you have a gnaw!ng or burning sensation, even pain be- meath the breastplate. accompanied by a feeling of oppressive distentiOn 50 marked, perhaps, as to make your clothing uncomfortable; and this is waterbrash. You have learn ed by experience that temporary re lief is obtained from sodium bicar- bonate or soda mint lozenges. Ano- ther discovery you have made is that the taking of more food gives you immediate though passing relief.
 Though you fear your food because you apprehend the subsequent dis comfort, you take it well enough, un- til you reach the stage where you try to cure yourself by abstaining from one article after another be

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
RUNNING AFTER A MAN
By BEATRICE FaRFAx

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am thirty-two and in love with man thirty-fiVe, although he has never taken me out or spent any money on me.
 am a trained nurse. and while l was on a case recently this man was also staying at the same house for he was their cousin. He was exceptionally nice to me, and I could see by his actions that he cared for me. I sent him a card but he has not replied. l arr giving a party Should I invite him or is it best to try to forget him.
 The fact that man is courteous to you while you are both staying under the same roof doesn't mean anything more than a passing interest or habit of politeness. A man of thirty-five knows his own mind sufficiently to make an effort to see a woman again if he is particularly attracted by her. The fact that your card was ignored seems to in dicate that you aren't a factor in the mans life, doesn't it? If you want to risk a slight and having a man feel that you're forcing yourself on his attention, invite him to your home. But if you set a high value on pride and dignity-don't. It's a question of your own sense of values

PRETTY NEGLIGEES.

Every woman wants to own any number of attractive house gowns and neligees. Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford the money for many of these and some of us, in deed cannot afford time to wear them even if we possess them. Yet even the busiest woman needs one loose gown.
 Bath robes may be warm. but un- less one pays an extravagant price they are rarely artistic, and cheap be at all practical. The Japanese k;mona solved this problem some years ago. since it served for both bath robe and lounging robe and having simple lines, was almost al- ways good looking
 Butt while negligees are expensive to buy. they are amazingly easy to make. You need only the most eIe- mentary knowledge of sewing to he able to make yourself as many of these pretty gowns as you wish. In fact, 1 know of one woman who could sew only q straight seam. and that not very well. She purchased herself SIX yards of heavy silk crepe, cut it into two three-yard lengths and scwed them together, making a piece of material double width and thlee yards long. At each corner on one side she sewed a large heavy la asscl
 She made a very beautiful Greek neGIisee out of this by throwing it over her shoulders so the material came over the left shoulder and un- der the right arm. using the side with fhe t3Ssel the top. The ends of the material were then flung back over each shoulder. where they were held because of the weight of the ta&sels. The material fell in exqui- site folds. and it left her right arm quite free. though it entirely covered the left arm.

Now, Miss Fairfax I have a married brother who says he is got ing to tell this young man to keep away from me because he is not my age or nationality. Does this seem fair to me or to this young man. as anything said to him would hurt me very much.
