only II years old and, while
I was away working, she left

tresS. I do not know why she
left me. I loved her ever since
the day I met her. We were
married in August and she
left me last January. I have
not seen or heard from her
since. It's been very lonely
since she left and I would give
anything to hear from her.
Everybody says ought to be glad
to get rid Of such a Wife-but
I still love her. I do not know
what to do. I am working for
the city and am only getting
three days work a week. I am
looking for another job but
holding on to this one until
my luck breaks. 1t is hard to
know what to do.

A shining light on the oall-
room floor is satin, and it is
used for some of the newest
frocks. Very smart is an eve
ming frock of black satin, with
a twist of black and pink satin
marking the decolletage. This
terminates in ends at the back
and a black and pink carna-
ton is posed at the base of one
thin shoulder strap.
Looking to the east for in
spiration brings us the minaret
dress. This effect is particu-
larly good in lace. One lovely
frock of sheer white lace has
a stiffened minaret flounce
and a belt of silver kid. The
shoulder straps are of rhine
stones.
Right into the fold goes
fashion for the frock made

smart. Lovely is a simple frock
made of graduate folds of black
silk crepe, posed on black chif"
fon, with a gracefully flaring
line at the hem. There is no

is needed.

sacrifice.
A perfect gigolo-husband
EARNS every penny that he re-
ceives. But, alas, how few men
who marry for money or a soft
snap are willing to pay the
price! How many Of them lie
down on the job and begin
ort-changing and double-cross-
ing the lady, the moment she
has signed on the dotted line.
Very few men possess the
qualifications to be a house-pet.
And, some men are neither pro-
ViderS nor pets. They are too
lazy, too inefficient or too
selfish to provide for any
woman, and they would not
WORK for the best woman
alive. On the other hand, they
have neither the talents nor
the graces of a pet. They are
too clumsy, too unwieldly, too
phlegmatic or too self-indulgent
to play gallant to her vanity
and whims. They are not even
good-natured or sweet-tempered,
which is the primary requisite
of a house-pet.
Here and there, you will find
a husband who is both a Good
Provider and possessed of all
the charms and accomplish

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

SELF DOSING with drugs
over a long period is always a
dangerous practice, and some
times results in serious disorders.
Often these appear on the skin
in the form of eruptionS. The
victim may be entirely unaware
that the eruption is due to the
drug that is being used, and
blithely goes on to treat the skin
disease for eczema or something
of that kind, meanwhile continu-
ing the administration of the
drug. So the eruption gets
worse and worse.
A Deep Mystery
I remember seeing patient
several years ago who consulted
me on account of large, hideous
sores on the legs. They were as
big as silver dollar and formed
fungating masses. Their ma
ture was a complete mystery to
me, and I asked a dermatologist
into consultation. He immedi-
ately recognized them as due to
bromides. On questioning the
patient we found that she had
been taking a nerve tonic for
several months, and that it con-
tanned a large amount of bro
mideS. Taking her off this
tonic" and feeding her large
amounts of ordinary table salt
served to clear up the condition
in two weeks time.
Bromide rashes on the skin
are often on the face, and
closely resemble the common
disease, acne, or, in ordinary
language, pimples. In such in
StitutionS as use bromides for
epilepsy the patients have to
be watched very carefully to
prevent the development Of
such rashes. The treatment, of
course, is first to stop taking
the bromides. BY doing only
this the eruptionS disappear in
three or four weeks. Their re-
moVal can be hastened by the
use of a very simple remedy
salt.

GigOlO Husbands

GigOlO Husbands
The gigolo is no longer a

He has long existed in smart
society, under other names
notably that of tame cat"
Twenty years ago, the society

personable young man, who
played the devoted, ran her er-

Modern husbands come IN two
varieties-providers and pets.
The Good Provider is a fur
buying animal, a cash register
and a producer Of bacon, bonds,
bungalows and automobiles He
is useful, but not necessarily
decorative. He possesses all of
the solid qualities, but few of
the lighter graCeS. He doesn't
NEED them. He is the Big
Shot in the house.
The pet, or gigolo-huSband,
on the other hand, must earn
his keep by the sweat of his
pride, his tact and his dancing
foot. He must know a lot of
parlor tricks, and respond to
the touch on the bride like a
pinto pony. He must be able to
play golf, dance divinely, run
any kind of car, mix a perfect
cocktail, exercise the Peke, pow
der his wife'S back, boost her
game, and act as a background
and foil for her charms.
He must wear his clothes
with dash and dignity, jolly the
servants, play a good game of
bridge, receive his wife'S guests
with a graceful flourish, carry
up her breakfast tray, look after
her correspondence and act as
a table-decoration.

There was a hustle in the

Reporters scurried to "tie up"

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

Not Necessary
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

nouncements Immediately after
the wedding. I am inviting
only relatives and a few init
mate friends. G. ADYS.
For the small informal we'd
ding that you are planning it
is not necessary to send en-
graved invitations; indeed, it
would be quite inappropriate.
The best form is for you and
your mother to invite those
relatives and friends who live
in town, and then for her, as
the hostess of the home and
Of the occasion of your we'd
ding, to write notes of invita-
tions to those guests who live

venient to inform the rest Of
your friends by sending out
announcement, directly. after
the ceremony has been per-
pormed.

One Of the most disquieting international devel-

governments to postpone the general disarmament
conference called to meet next February Paris

ofncialy indicated to France that 1t would not be

petition are so grave is delicate question.
Within the month President Hoover devoted an en-
