Real hidden treasure which has eluded searchers for generations is the material motive of Straight Is the Way" the Ouija board romance. The treasure is concealed Somewh ere about the old Sands homestead, at Sands Point, Long Island. which is the location of the story
 This old homestead which is own ed by Mrs. Mumford, the author, and used as a summer home, was built in 166S-more than 250 years ago-and has been the scene of many romantic and thrilling incidents. But none is more interesting than the known presence of hidden treasure there abouts. Every means of locating this mas been tried in vain - including clairvoyants, divininS rods and tip ping tables, but no treasure.
 Mrs. Mumford has taken adyan- tage of this concealed treasure in her story She makes it the property of one Uncle Henry Ort-the ancestor of Aunt Mehitable and her orphaned

Health means happiness. Why jeopardize both when there are easy ways of maintaining health? One does not have to take medicine when there is that sluggish feeling.

 It is their idea of justice; also of practical sympathy because the women need the money to satisfy a mortgage which threatens them with the loss of their home.

 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 l am to be married soon. Several of my friends whom 1 am interest ed in and wish to be my bridesmaids are already married q have already chosen a n1atron of honor.) Is it permissible or proper to have them as such? have heard comments pro and con. Won't you please ad- wise me? B. M. s.
 Permissible" and proper seem weak words to me when applied to things that are so largely individual as a wedding ought to be. Don't you want your wedding attendants to be dear to you? Don't you want to share this occasion with the friends to whom it will mean most? If you insist on being a slave to form, then the very name bridesmaids as op- posed to matron of honor suggest that they should be single girls. But most women of any intelligence and independ ence know how to bend an inmaterial custom to the common sense view of the occasion Don't think I'm being harsh with you I'm answering dozens of girls who have , written to me making mountain out of this very molehil.
