, NEW COLOR
PROCESS

A new process has been developed
in England whereby photographs
can be printed in color. An ordi-
nary camera is used and from
three black and white negatives
positive prints are made in the
primary colors produced by
slight variation and blending of
the primary coIors involved.

When these very large handker-
chiefs first came in few months ago,
they were used only in the evening.
Then they were adopted for sports.
This one is a silk print bold
and blazing with a design Of red and
orange and black. It will make
lovely cover for a sofa cushion when
she is through with it as handker-
chief. Cherie thinks.

Does jealousy Mean Love?

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Is 1t a sign that man loves
girl IL he is very jealous of her
that is, if he gets angry every
time she recognizes a man she
knows or goes out with anyone
but himself?
The man I refer to is not go
ing steadily with me. Every
young man I know seems to be
alike - this regard. | thank
you. ANXIOUS.
Yes. jealousy is a sign of love
of self-love and love of posses
sion. Although it Is very com.
mon, jealousy Is entirely selfish
and always makes trouble. It IS
not sign of affection. Do not
cater to this unpleasant trait.

invited him especially to meet you,
Professor Arkwright teaches Latin
in our high school here.
You two pedagogues ought to have
lots in common. -. Professor, this
is Mile. Dumont, who taught me
French at Bradley. Now, Pat, you
can run along and help Peg receive

looking little Latin teacher.
I'm sure Mademoiselle won't
miss you. She and Professor Ark
wright are soon going to be deep in
discussion which you couldn't

Then, as her father strobe hastily
away, after giving his dutiful
daughter a look that should have
withered her, Look how he hurried
back to Peg!, He's really the most
devoted old thing. I suppose every
girl thinks her parents are just
about perfect, but I know mine are!

spoke with bitter emphasis.
Tony, after curtsying and smiling
guilelessly, fluttered away happily
to help her father and mother re-
ceive the four other couples who
were arriving almost simultaneously,
with middle-aged punctuality.
There were the ,Harrisons. from

who had once been an actress; and
Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln Pruitt.

Within half an hour there were
three tables of bridge, to which
the players had settled down with
the deadly earnestneSs that marks
the middle-aged confirmed addicts
Of the game.
Crystal and Tony, freed tempo
rarily from their duties as little
rays of sunshine" looked in upon
the drawing room from the doorway
whispering gleefeully.
From Tony: Such luck, darling!
I thought I'd burst with Joy when
Mile. said she couldn't play bridge
and Professor Arkwright, already
head over heels, the poor thing,
ecstatically acknowledged that he
couldn't either, so they two could
just sit and talk!
"And 1t was killing the way you
kept him trotting away from her
to trot to your mother on some
service or other! I'll bet Peg thinks
the worlds coming to an end, Pats
so awfully attentive!
"Of course he could STAY you and I
advise you not to eat anything to-
night, if Mile. has a chance to slip
out of the kitchen first. The fair
EloiSe has murder in her eyes.
ooh. Pats dummy, and he's max

looks as if he may pick up poor little
Professor Arkwright and drop him
out of the window. Oh! Mr..
Pruitt's dummy at his table, too.

help rejecting that she could not

Look how adroitly she handles
Pat and Mr.. Pruitt together" Tony
whispered. Well, guess it's up to

Reduction Rules,

If you are reducing, here are a few
rules to remember which have nothing
to do with your diet but great deal
to do with the effectiveness of what
ever reduction method you try.
The first rule is, don't sleep 100
much, and don't sleep at all during the
day. Eight hours is quite enough II
YOU are stout. and you can really man.
age with seven,
Don't ever ride If you can POSSIBLY
walk. stout people generally do not take
enough exercise. and especially in the
early stages of dieting they are apt to
cut down their exercise. claiming that
lack of food makes them weak This
is not so. Exercise Is particularly
needed to tone up the muscles and
keep them from getting flabby. AS it
is almost impossible to make women
faithfully do physical exercises at home,
the next best thing Is to substitute
walking for riding or driving. The
walking should be at a vigorous pace,
an idle stroll is no use. nor is there any
proper kind of exercise in walking about
the shops Start at good swift walk
in the open air and keep it up for a
few miles
Don't drink water with your meals.

Mrs. Jane Bacon was employed AS
librarian at the Palmer School for Girls.
The position carried with it unusual re-
sponsibilities. causing Mrs. Bacon a
great deal of work and many worries.
She also performed voluntarily many
duties not required of her. but which
were of great benefit to the school and
to her employer.
After several years of such d.ltgent
toll. Mrs. Bacon suffered a nervous
breakdown. She was forced to relin-
ouiSh her position to take a rest cure.
Her condition. however, became worse
and suicide followed a short period OF
insanity.
Her children's claim for compensation
under the workmen's compensation act
was contested on the ground. first. that
her suicide was too remote result to
connect 1t with her employment and,
secondly, that her condition was caused
by the exercise of duties not called for
by her contract of employment.
The court, however, allowed the claim,
stating;
Compensation will be awarded for
death BY suicide resulting from insan
ity, if the insanity is traceable TO en-
ployment or its conditions as the direct
cause which produced 1t. In this case
such cause is proved.
Where services rendered. although
voluntary. have connection with the
contract of service and are accepted by

arises in the course of the employment

the body weight of a sedentary person
