bands wish, the widow invited

An Erroneous Point of View
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
The other evening my girl
and I went into an ice cream
parlor and gave our order. AT
ter we gave the order, ray Ster
and my future brother-in-law
came in and were seated at a
table back of us. I think that
it was up to my future brother
in-law to offer to pay for our
check, but he didn't offer and
my girl friend and I walked
out. I was ashamed to face
my friend after this incident,
because in my opinion he was
cheap. Please solve Shls prob
lem for me.
Please don't mind if I frankly
say I don't think that you have
any real basis for your feeling
about this, and I don't think
that you have any right 70 re-
gard your brother-inlaw as

should he pay your check? He
had nothing to do with it, and

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

Nosebleed ranges in impor-
tance all the way from simple
annoyance to occasionally a
fatal outcome.
The causes are various, some
quite plain, some very obscure.
One, of course, is injury, as
any pugilist can tell you. "A
rap on the beak" is the etio-
logic factor in the almost
chronic nasal hemorrhage of
the exponents of the manly
art. Or, in other words, fight
ing results in a lot of bloody
noses.
Many Causes Noted
Simple spontaneous nose
bleed may come from conges-
ton, due to change of tempera-
ture, becoming overheated, very
hot weather and extreme ex-
ertion. In such cases it Is
probably a safety valve. reliev-
ing not only the turgescence
of the nasal mucous membrane,
but also the general blood pres
sure.
High blood pressure causes
frequent nosebleed. So does
heart and arterial disease. You
You, may remember the first
Sherlock Holmes story, "A
Study in Scarlet" The scarlet
which was studied was blood.
It came not from the body OF
the murdered person, but from
the bleeding nose of the mur-
derer, jefferson Hope, who was
the victim of an aneurySrn.
Chronic nosebleed in the vast
majority of cases comes from
small ulcerations on the nasal
septum. To get rid of them
they should be treated by a
physician.
Keep Patient Quiet
If it is serious. the ordinary
treatment of nosebleed, until
help comes, consists first IN
keeping the patient as quiet as
possible. Any exertion may
cause the bleeding to start up
again. The important thing is
to promote clotting which will
automatically stop the bleeding.
and then tt take care not to
break up the clot.
Make the patient sit leaning
forward with elbows on knees.
Get a towel wet in cold water
and have it held tightly against
the nose. This should be con-
tihued for 80 minutes to give
the blood a chance to coagu-
late. If the blood does clot in
the nose, do not pull out the
clots. because removing them
will only start the bleeding up
afresh. Pushing cotton plugs
into the nose will start the
blood to coagulate.

ing me. INDEPENDENT.
The ladies of your fiance's
family must be quite aged and
behind the trend Of modern
ideas if they object to a girl
working behind a counter. Don't
they know that's what a large
proportion of college graduates
are doing to fit themselves as
buyers and other top-notch jobs
in the economic world? Don't
they know that an English girl
daughter of a hundred earls"
worked in a New York depart
ment store last winter? Don't
they know that it's the smart
thing to have a job these days;
that the daughters of many of
our captains of industry and
millionaires work? Do these
ladies wear pantalettes, ring
lets and hoop skirts to match
their antiquated ideas? No, l

because his mother and sisters
are out of step with the times.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please advise a discouraged
girl what to do. I am at the
breaking point. Whenever I
hear screaming or yelling, beast
or man, think it is meant for
me. I have a grouchy, irritable
father, who yells instead of
talking. When I do anything
wrong I'm not corrected, but I
am yelled at by someone who
likes to use the latest cusS
words.
You may say to me: "You
must do everything wrong if
you can't respect your father"
But, Miss Fairfax, I think more
of my father and mother than
I can express, but who could
understand a father that never
spoke kindly or shows that he
loves me. I really try to do
the right thing after 1 have
been corrected, but then I lose
all heart. Every time I am cor
rected I end up crying. How
many young girls do this?
Don't you think he can cor

at me in front of my friends,
because it really gets me sick

Jim Tracy's face now was
drawn and strained.
IF you lay hand on me III

his teeth.
Don't make a fool of your
self or you'll most certainly get
the worst of it," he said. Are
you going to hand over your
wallet or am I going to have
to shake it out of your clothes?"
None present-leaSt of all
Jim Tracy-could doubt that
Carson meant what he said.
Tracy, despite his angry re
sentiment, knew full well that
Carson could handle him cas-
lily; physically the men were
not a great deal different in
size. but Garsons nervous en-
ergy, the force behind it was
tmmeaSurable.
For one instant, Tracy hesl
tated; then, with a sneer he
stepped back and extracted
from an inside pocket OF his
coat the wallet and tossed it on
the table contemptuouSly.
All right, there you are" he
said, acidly. What are you go
ing to do about it?"
That's all; we just wanted to
see it," Carson stated. Put it
back in your pocket now, if you
like. I think that proves you
lied about the hold-up, doesn't
it?"

Tracy restored the wallet to
his pocket. TT must be great

perhaps you can tell Connie

A Correct Wedding Invitation
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A friend of mine received
an invitation to a wedding.
The brides and bridegroom's
parents are living, but the
brides parents are the only
ones mentioned on the invita-
ton. Is this the right way to
send an invitation? 81.
Yes. The correct form is that
the invitation is issued in the
names of the parents Of the
bride only. They are the hosts
of the occasion. The parents
of the bridegroom are the
guests of honor-that is why
they sit on the right of the
church in which the ceremony
is to take place.

BROKEN HEARTED.
You have my very sincere
sympathy in your troubles,
which seem very real to me.
These days almost any man
with a sense of fair play is will
ing to mind the baby occasion
ally while his wife has a breath
ing spell-goes to a movie or
pays a friendly little visit to a
neighbor. All work and no play
is as bad for Jill as it is for
Jack. Perhaps boarding does
take from your husband sense
of responsibility which having a
little home might restore. The
experiment seems worth trying
anything and everything is
worth trying when it's a case
of marriage failing and a little
child not having the right sort
of home in which to develop.
Hasn't he any pride in his little
son? Almost every normal man
has an abiding affection for the
child who bears his name.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am engaged to a young man
whose family do not like me,
and for long time I was puz-
zled to know the reason, as
I'm a Self-respecting girl and,
some say, not hard to look at.
At last a friend told me the
reason for my unpopularlty.
For several years I've had a
good job and salary in large
department store. and it seems
my fiance's family thought it
wasn't stylish to work behind
a counter. The women of his
family do not seem very intelli-
gent to me, and I hesitate to
marry into the family for very
different reasons from those
which keep them from Welcom-
