sweaters are worn with? Well
fashionable separate skirts
aren't very different from the
skirts of dresses or Jacket cos
tunes. There's nothing about
them to mark them as an
extra" skirt. And when they're
combined with these blouse-like
sweaters, you have the effect
Of an enSembled costume.
Pleats Give FuIlneSS
We've shown the yoke top
sweater with a yoke top skirt.
And yoke tops on skirts are q
fine fashion-in dress skirts or
suit skirts. The pleats in the
front give the fullnesS every
fashionable skirt has. And
keeps the sides Of the silhouette
straight.
The second skirt has its wide
side pleats released low down
another much-in-fashion dress
detail.
You can wear these skirt and
blouse costumes at any infor-
NAL general daytime event.
And you'll find them comfort
ably warm for right now.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-Have
you noticed how much sweat
ers are being worn again? For
they are in fashion again.
A while ago they were out Of
fashion-and far out. And
one reason was because with
all this femininity and indi-
viduality that's come into the
mode. nobody wanted to be
clothed in a straight, shape
less sack such as all
sweaters were,
And one reason sweaters are
in fashion again is because
they're no longer all straight,
shapeless sacks. In fact, If 1t
weren't that they're knitted,
you'd be hard put to tell them
apart from blouses.
Have Dress Details
They have dress-like details,
Just as fashionable blouses do.
They have yoke effects, crushed
girdles, bows, belts, collars and
cuffs-even collars Of lingerie
materials.
What about the skirts these

Told him that because of the
time he'd spent in the tropics
he needed heat and light, and
began treatments Of a special
kind. Sometimes I think I'll

Jim Bradford purposely ma
nipulated his grapefruit spoon
so that juice spurted toward
the girl. In the apologies that
followed the morbid subject
was abruptly dropped. He had
to go to town, he told her, but
he promised to be back that
evening. He went into the
sick room, to see the patient
for a moment, only to find

him sleeping. He took occa-
sion, while the nurse was in an
adjoining room, to take some
of the medicine that stood in
a glass, pour it into a bottle
and slip it into his pocket.
Three hours later, in town,
found him in the office Of De-
tective Lieut.. Tommy Lovett,
already known on the force as
THE Chemical Dick" because
of his use of applied chemistry
to the business Of crime detec-
ton. For half an hour their
heads were close together.
He Makes . Decision
"Beth," he told the girl, at
dinner time, I'm going to have
a specialist friend Of mine look
over your granddad, If it's all
right with you. He has studied
in Europe, under the greatest
experts in mental and nervous
disorders. Surely DR.. Marshall
wouldn't object if you told him
you wanted to have the spe-
cialist make an examination.
There was deep inquiry in
the girls eyes, but some in
stinct told her not to ask ques-
tions. She told him she'd be
delighted to have the opinion
of the man he had recon-
mended. She didn't seem to
think it odd when he told her
he'd anticipated her acquiesence
and told DR.. Lovett to come
to the Hardy home at 8 o'clock.
DR.. Marshall was told too,
when he came in an hour later.
A sharp glance toward Brad
ford and the girl indicated dis
taste, but he made no other
comment than to say he would
appreciate help on a case that
was truly battling.
Eight o'clock in the sick
room found Jimmy, Beth, DR..
Marshall, the nurse and DIR.
Lovett" grouped about.
A Mere Subterfuge
Lovett looked Marshall in the
eye. "These lights" he said,
are harmless, O. mere subter-
fuge, but this red liquid"-and
he took from his pocket the bot
tie Jim had brought him
"this red liquid is one Of the
most insidious poiSons-"
But he didn't get any fur
ther for suddenly DR.. Marshall
did q surprising thing. He
leaped for the door, and the
others heard him running down
the hall.
"Dr." Lovett started in pur-
suit. The sound of a shot out
in the grounds halted him. He
turned back into the sick room.
He looked on a tableau in
which Beth Hardy placed her
head on Jim Bradford's shoul-
der, and Jim, looking down at
the old Captain, put out a hand
which met that Of the old sea-
farer.

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

THE ANATOMY and nature
of nasal sinuses render them very
subject to disease. They COM
municate with the nose by very
narrow openings. They form
secreticns inside themselves
which must drain into I pc nose.
If their openings are stopped
up these secretions are damned
back and accumulate in the
sinuses, furnishing a fine breed
ing ground for germs. AS the
openings are small, they are
easily stopped up. Hence the
frequency of sinus disease.
What causes the openings to
be closed? Well, if you look
into somebody's nostril you will
see that there is not much
room inside the nose at best.
And if the bones and cartilages
inside these get crooked they
can very easily press against
one another and close things
up.
Congestion is Present
Everyone experiences the ease
with which the nose can be
closed up when they have a
bad cold. Just the congestion
consequent on the Inflammation
will do it. Also, everyone must
have experienced the sensation.
