HOW 1T STARTED
By JEAN NEWTON.
Calling It Bluff. "

Bluff" is q word with which we are
all familiar too familiar), some Of us
may say for boasting with the inten.
ton to hoodWink or deceive people.
When some one succeeds in this, 1t is
said that he put up a good bluff" or
that he is a good bluff" Though the
term has been accepted into our gen.
eral usage, II has no right, etyIno-
logically speaking, to existence. 1t
comes TO us not from IL legitimate
word source. but from n detail in q
card. game which exists on bluff"
Correctly speaking. a bluff" is a
high steep bank. 81 cliff with a broad
face. The significance which the term
has acquired in everyday speech
originated in the game Of poker from
the circumstance that an experienced
player sometimes wins with poor cards
by betting with an air of assurance
and inscrutable face, which deters his
opponents with better cards from
entering the betting. Having put up a
good bluff he takes in the pot! His
success depends entirely upon his abil-
ity to carry out the deception as to
what he holds in his hands, hence the
reference to broad 'or blank" face,
which describes the "bluffer" at cards
as well as the hill or cliff that Is the
original bluff.

music was excellent. The picture was

with expensive French perfumes and

OutWardly she was calm, composed.
but always her eyes wandered toward
The door.
He wasn't here. Perhaps he wasn't
in training and tomorrow was the
same. She longed to ask some one
about it, but her pride kept her from
letting any OF the men suspect that
she cared one way or another about it.
y Mechanically, she slipped out of one
mans arms and into those of another.
They meant nothing to her. they were
dummies she was hardly aware of
Them save for the fact that their dance
steps varied. The saXophones moaned,
the Violins walled, the even rhythm
rose and fell and all over the large
hall feet moved to the tempo of the
music.

THE EMARRIACE MEDDLER
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR

and was leaning against a column at
the end of the room. His eyes were
roaming about as though in search of
some one. And then through blur
she saw him coming across the room
toward her and her heart was weak
within her. She tried to tell herself
that he was not looking at her, that he
was coming to dance with some other
girl.
How large he bulked among the
other men. No wonder they called
him big Morgan" And how he car.
ried himself, shoulders thrown back,
his head set proudly on his shoulders.
Fool" Jean called herself viciously,
little idiot!'
And then almost before her brain
had formed the words, she was in his
arms, her fair head with it's silver
fillet was near his shoulder. She
could see the strong curve of his chin
and the firm set lips above it.
A man dashed up and tried to claim
her, but deliberately Conrad eluded
him and they danced on. Another
man appeared as if by magic, but Con.
rad shook his head slightly, almost
impatiently and they danced on.
Then suddenly he was speaking,
hurried words that came from his lips
jerkily.
''Win You come outside with me q
moment? 1 have something to say to
you. Don't bother to get your wrap.
l have a coat with me-
AS if in a dream, Jean let him dance
her down to the end of the room and
through the columns. A door opened
magically and they were outdoors.
Overhead the sky was peppered with
silver. Under the heavy coat in which
she found herself muff1ed, she shiv-
cred. She was suddenly afraid, afraid
of herself and of the emotion that was
surging up in her. How many times
before had she sat out dances under a
starry sky. How many times had she
flirted gaily, evading kisses, or giving
them as her mood prompted? She
hadn't been afraid then, but this was
different.
Was Conrad Morgan going to kiss
her? There was something SO precipi-
tate about this, something so headlong
that she felt unprepared. With her
self in such an upset state she hardly
knew how to handle the situation.
Usually she had Zine" that was
smart and f1ippant, but how could she
use line when she felt as she did?

Pathological Bleeding.

The control Of bleeding from
wounds is a first-aid question. The
control of spontaneous bleeding, as in
the case of a true "bleeder (hemo-
philia), III purpura, scurvy and certain
septic or toxic conditions in which the
normal clotting function of the blood
is impaired, Is not a first-aid question,
not even d surgical question. This
bleeding calls for the spe
cial knowledge of pathology which
only the physician has. Pathology Is
the study of science OF disease, and
disease is abnormal physiology, dis
turbed function. OF course. Il physi-
clan can't understand disease until he
has first acquired a pretty thorough
of physiology. This knoWl-
edge, however, Is not essential In OPP
erative surgery. Many skillfui or
deft operating surgeon has only q
superficial knowledge OF pathology.
When a doctor receives his degree,
NJ. D., the diploma granted by the col
lege or university designates him doc
tor Of medicine, but says nothing
about surgery. The brandnew doctor
then passes the State examination and
receives q license from the State, and
this document reads, License TO
practice medicine and surgery" and 1t
entities the doctor to engage in any
or all branches or specialties he may
prefer without further qualification.
l mention these facts merely to show
how confused and absurd are the pub
lies notions about healers and the
legal regulations controlling the prac-
tice of healing. There isn't q State or
province which doesn't make ridicu-
lous mess of the attempt to control
this matter. People often say doctors
are a queer lot. Doctors have to be
queer to conform with the regulations
or requirements people impose upon
them.
One doctor succeeded In stopping
the bleeding from Il trifling scratch
on the forehead OF a 'bleeder" child
by cutting his own finger and allowing
a few drops Of the normal blood to
drop on the scratch.

Baked Rhubarb.

Much Of the flavor Of rhubarb is
contained in the skin, so that II is
best not to remove 1t. unless It is old
and stringy. especially for baking.
The lowest white part OF the stalk Is
best tested before using or discarding,
a 8 1t may or may not be bitter. The
pink coloring also depends greatly
upon the skin. To discard 1t will
usually result In a greenish color. Cut
the unpeeled stalks into inch pieces
and place them in an earthen baking
dish with one cupful Of sugar to one
pound Of rhubarb, but no water.
Cover close and bake slowly in mod
crate oven for an hour or longer. The
time must depend somewhat upon the
quantity. The rhubarb will be clear
and a pretty red when done. II there
Is danger Of the oven getting too hot,
set the crock in an outer receptacle
OF water. If the rhubarb Is to be
served as an accompaniment to meats
or fowl, less sugar may be used
Merely sprinkle each layer and add a
sprinkling of flour to each OF the
lower layers. On the top layer
sprinkle instead q little sugar and

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
A Number of Things.

Mrs. n. NJ. Fl. writes: "My baby girl
Is l0h months old and has been on
the bottle for the last seven months.
I want to change her milk before hot
weather and put her on pasteurtZed
milk instead of certified. VIII this be
all right?"
Answer-If the milk that you use
comes from a reputable dairy / see no
reason why the baby will suffer any
by being put on pasteurized milk. The
difference is not so much in the con-
tents of the milk as In the care and
cleanliness surrounding its bottling.
For that reason certified milk Is
always advised for babies.

Mrs. G. j.: II the milk you mention
is milk from Jersey COW, that Is ordi-
narily too rich for the average baby
to digest. You may not have noticed
this because you are still nursing the
baby and your milk may be very poor
In fat content, which would be bal
anced by the richer cows milk.
When the baby is on all cows milk 1t
may cause trouble. Whole milk, Of
an average cream content, about per
cent, plus boiled water and sugar Is
| sufficient to nourish g. child up to SIX
months Of age. It Is not necessary to
use barley or oatmeal water.
Mrs. NJ. K. D.: There seems to be
nothing in diet of milk and vege-
| tables that would cause canker sores.
But the diet is far too limited for
child Of 1S months. Won't you please

velope and ask for the leafiet on early

exactly how TO feed the baby at this
age. Wash the mouth daily with a So
luton of one teaspoon of baking soda

CHRISTMAS BONUSES OF
 S5 TO 50 MILLIONS
This Is What Employes of Wall Street Business Houses Prob-
 ably Will Receive This Year

New York, Dec. 2 Pl-Employes of Wall Street business houses will get Christmas bonuses this year es- timated at from $35.000,000 to $5o.oo0, 900.
 Last years total was estimated at S50,000,000, the most generous ever given except possibly during few War years.
 The year 1926 has been prosper ous for practically every department of business, finance and industry. and many firms which never gave bonuses will be given by the banks, which have enjoyed unusual pros perity. Gifts ranging from a weeks to a months salary are usual in such institutions. The banks prosperity is reflected in the increase of the general level of bank stock prices, many of which are selling at the highest quotations ever recorded.
 Stock exchange firms, always among the most generous distribu- tors of bonuses to employees did not in general profit as well this year as last but business has been good and they are preparing to give employees a substantial percentage of their earnings. New York stock exchange workers share in Christ mas pot contributed by members and liberal gifts of cash are assured for all employees.
