there no Lifeline" for one
who is
ADRIFT.
The poets have written some
of their most beautiful lines on
the exquisite pain of such love
as yours. In your case, the
break was not caused by the
fickleness of your beloved, so
that there is no reason for bit
terness in your sadness. In.
stead, you have an inclination
to stand by, like the knights of
old, to protect this young girl
in any emergency. That is a
generous thought, which, am
afraid, would not really be to
her advantage. She has mar
ried the other man, and if she is
to be happy with him, she must
trust him.
For you, it would be better
to 60 away-new scenes and
faces will gradually come to in
terest you, for you are very
young after all, and 1 believe
life has much happiness in store
for you.

Your Health
and Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. D.

Drugs are frequently attacked
by faddiSts. Yet they remain
one of the two or three most
useful methods of treating dis
ease in the modern age. Spe-
cific serums for infectious dis
eases are the finest fruit of
medical science, but we have
only few of those, and cor:-
paratively few sick people are
proper objects for their use.
Their value is to that extent
limited.
Dict. rest and surgery are
all useful in many conditions.
but none are so continuously
valuable as different drugs.
Objection to Drugs
One reason for the faddists'
objection to drugs is that he
considers that the term includes
only narcotics and habit-form-
ing substances. He does not
remember that many things he
constantly uses, such as soap
and baking soda, act as drugs.
Another objection he voices is
that drugs are not Natures
method of healing. "Drugless
healing or Natures way he is
constantly reiterating. 1t is
difficult to know what he
means. If he means that ami
mails or primitive man die not
use drugs he is only Partially
correct.
Dogs eat grass when they
are sick. as is we'll known, and
wild monkeys have been known
to apply certain leaves with
antiseptic properties to their
wounds. AS for primitive man,
he had more drugs in his cave
than the average modern citizen
has in his medicine closet
which is saying a good deal.
Why eating fruit should be
any more of a natural"
method of healing than eating
the leaves of a plant like the
foXglove is hard to say.
Narcotics Often Are Abused
1t is true that drugs of the
narcotic series are often abused
and often do much harm. But
they do a vast amount of good
also; they are, in fact, the alb
solutely indispensable drugs.
There are many poor sufferers
whose existence for a while
would be intolerable without a
local anaeSthetic like cocaine.
And one of the most encour-
aging features of medical re-
search today is that drugs are
being discovered which will do
the essential things the old
drugs did and yet be free from
the Objectionable features. For
instance. there is an excellent
drug, butyn, which does what
cocaine does in the way of relief
of local pain, yet has no mar
cotizing or habit-forming prop
critics whatever,

proved it's so by wearing ours
continuously for days, now,
without the slightest ripple in
the shape. Success at last!
How Many Pieces
There's no doubt about our
going back for another knitted
dress. And when We do, it's 60
ing to be just like the first il
lustration here, or the second.
We're facing the question of
another one-piece type or wheth-
er to get a two or three-piece
knitted dress this time. And the
more we think about these
three, the harder it becomes to
choose between th-m. You'll
agree we're in quandary when
you hear what each is like.
Tie Knit In
The dress in the first sketch
couldn't be more up-to-the-
minute. It's in that wide vale
\ knit, inaugurated in woolens
by the corduroy fashion. You've
been hearing talk about knits
like this-and wanting one.
The Ascot tie on this dress
helps to make it newer than
the new. That isn't a separate
scarf at all-it's self material
encrusted on the dress, to look
just like one. And looks as
smartly different as anything
we've seen. The sleeves are
fitted to the wrist, but deeply
slit. and metal buttons hold
them closcd-three to each
sleeve. There's q very tailored
pleat in front and one in back
that's an excellent means of
walking and sitting comfortably
in these strajght-line clothes!
The contrasting leather belt
likes its buckle in the back,
of Course-as all well-educated
belts this season do. The belt
Is black in this sketch, because
the dress is green-that gor-
geouS brilliant green we're see
ing everywhere. But belt and
dress both come in other colors
almost anyone you'd like
for somewhere around $40.
What a smoothly fitting knit
ted dress for underneath a
coat!
FOOled-and Liking 1t
About the dress that's sketched
below, we confess to fooling you
just as we were fooled. We could
have sworn it was knitted, but
it seems it's not at all! Just as ,
smart as any knitted material
we ever saw, this is filet de laine
"a soft. sheer, lacy-looking
wool that takes to bias cut like
the proverbial duck to water.
And no material less lovely
could do justice to this stunning
two-piece style. How seldom is
a tunic blouse as truly smart!
This one hugs the hips so snugly.
And hugs the neckline, too, if
you like it buttoned one lap
higher than the way its Sketched.
That little Side-down collar is
part of the contrasting yoke of
self material, Squarely set in
front and back. The edging, on
the side that faStenS, matches
the color of the dress, and the
big bone buttons-and the
leather belt.

you at once lead partners suit.
Against a trump declaration

old idea of leading the top card
of partners suit only holds

is wise to assume that suit

your partner should be better
to lead than your own suit
that was not worth bidding. 1

CHAPTER 19

N14EAI i 94b AZ
I work my way around and
come on a group where a char
tered accountant is airing his
views. Just think of it'll" he
is saying, all worked up. "A
saddler! A Saddler, mind you,
and President of the Empire!
Imagine it, a court levee and a
saddler giving audience! 1t
would make a cat taught"
He makes himself cough, he is
so excited. What do you think
about it, my young WARRIOR" he
says, patting me on the shoul-
der.
AS a matter of fact, I have
never given the matter a
thought. I shrug my shoulders
doubtfully. Perhaps he knows
q thing"
The. accountant looks at me
fixedly for a moment. Then he
chuckles. "I should say he
does know a thing or two! No,
no, my young friend. These
things are inborn! A saddler!
If so, then why not tailor or
cobbler even?"
He turns again to the other.
I dislike his talk; it goes against
my grain to hear him speak so
contemptuously of cobblerS.
They make as good soldiers as
the finer folk, anyway. Adolf
Bethke was a cobbler, for that
matter-and he knew a sight
more about war than a good
many majors. It was the man
that counted with us, not his
occupation. I eye the accourfs'
ant dispraiSingly. He is throw
ing about quotations now, and
it may we'll be that he has
ladled in culture with a spoon
but if it ever came to that
agai-. and someone had to bring
ne in under fire, I would sooner
put my trust in Adolf Bethke.
At the Table
I am glad when at last we
sit down to table. Beside me IS
q young girl with swan's-down
boa around her neck. I like the
look of her, but have not the
faintest idea what should talk
to her about. AS a soldier, one
did not talk much, and to ladies
not at all. The others are con-
versing freely, so I try to listen,
in the hope of picking up an
idea or two.
Farther up the table the ac-
countant has just been explain
ing how, if only we had held
out a bit longer, the war would
have been won. Such bllge
makes me almost sick; any sol
dier knows that we had no more
munitions and no more mem
and that's all there is about 1t.
Opposite him is woman talk
ing about her husband, who was
killed, and from the way she
goes on, one might think it was
She had been killed and not he.
Lower down, they are talking
about securities and peace terms,
and all of them, of course, know
much better what should be
done than the people who actu-
ally have to deal with the mat
ter. A fellow with hook nose
is talking scandal about the
wife of a friend of his, but with
an air of Slch SanctimOniOuS
sham sympathy I should like to
pitch my beer into his face as a
reward for such ill-concealed
malice.
All the talk makes me stupid
in the head, and am soon quite
unable to follow any longer.
The girl with the swan boa
asks scornfully whether I be-
