BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
ON my travels the mother OF
~ an 8-year-old girl has asked
me how to cure Misunderstanding. !
told her what I have said here
many times-that I do not know
how 70 do so.
This little girl already showed
signs Of a receding lower Jaw.
Without any doubt her teeth were
not articulating properly; sur
faces were rubbing against sur
faces not intended for friction;
they will wear out.
At her age this is especially Sc
rious, because her second teeth are
coming in, the last she ever will
have.
Moreover, wrong jaw conforma-
ton has a lot to do with the gen.
eral health and occasionally with
mental vigor. Otherwise, bright
and pretty, she was one of the
most promising of failures.
Now I said that I did not know
what to do for such an unfortun-
ate habit, but there is one thing
I should do. I should stop it.
I should have stopped it when
she was a year old. should have
liked to say TO her mother.
may have put mittens on her, or I
might have had the doctor recon-
mend some distasteful prepare
ton (harmless of course) to put
on the maltreated member.
Perhaps I couldn't have cured
her in a month, two months, or
six. But by the time she was 2
years old she would not have been
making a perpetual meal Of her
thumb, I am sure of that.
I forgot to ask this unhappy
lady whether her daughter ever
had been stuffed with a ''pacifier"
or comforter" when she was a
baby; If she ever had that habit
there was only one think left for
her to turn to when she had out
grown her baby ways-her thumb.
Both thumbs and pacifiers, by
constant pulling, increase the size
Of the adenoid cells at the back
of the nasal passage.
"Adenoids" or Spongy growths
cause illness, ear and throat
trouble, loss OF appetite and stu
pidity. Since there has been less
popularity of the pacif1er, once
so ubiquitous. there have been
fewer cases of adenoid operation.
TonsilS, too, become swollen
and irritated from thumb sucking.
In fact, everything about the
mouth, throat and nose will suffer
if the habit is not stopped.
l never heard of eyes being af-
fected, but it just happens when
I think of it that this same
mother asked me about the little
girls eyes. They watered good
bit and she squinted just little.
Of course, suggested examina-
ton and glasses, but it seemed
that had been tried; the doctor
merely had prescribed lotion
instead of glasses. There was no
evidence of strain.
u u
There was a lot of sun where
we were, and water, too. A
thought struck me. ''WhY don't
you get her a pair of dark glasses
while you are here; children's
eyes need protection as well as
those of older people"
She approved the idea and said
she would, but we left next day
and I do not know whether my
inspiration materialized or not.
I pass it on, however, for what
it is worth. Why not dark glasses
for children who suffer from the
summer sun?

The king of diamonds is then

carded from dummy.
The nine of diamonds is led and
ruffed in dummy with the ten

led from dummy, declarer winning
with the queen.
A small diamond is played next
and trumped in dummy with the
ace of clubs. Declarer leads the
four of spades from dummy and
trupS with the seven of clubs.
The seven Of hearts then is
played, dummy playing the king,
and South winning the trick with
the ace. South leads the king of
spades which West, the declarer,
trumps with eight of clubs.
The nine of clubs is led by the
declarer, North discards a spade,
dummy plays the three of clubs
and South the six of clubs.
The jack of clubs is then led,
North discardS a spade, East wins
the trick with the king and South
must discard.
He can not discard the queen
Of spades or the jack will be good
in dummy, therefore the nine of
hearts is discarded. The eight of
hearts is lead from dummy, South
must play the jack, and declarer
wins the trick with the queen,
and his ten of hearts is now good
and he has made his contract of
six clubs doubled.
When South won the kin of
hearts with his ace, if he had
returned a heart, the declarer
should take the heart finesse, as
due to Souths double, he is
pretty well marked with the ace
and jack of hearts.

devise new ways of arranging long
tresses. 1t is the milliners who are
holding out against giving us hats that

unless you have a very small head you
will find that a large quantity of hair
is difficult to dispose OF. Because any
thing like bulge at the back of the
head throws the new hats out Of line
entirely One possible solution of the
problem is to arrange the long hair in
soft coil at the nape of the neck

A young woman with regular profile
has adopted this fashion. She brushes
her slightly wavy hair straight back
from her forehead. allowing the hair at
sthe sides to wave slightly over the ears.
The smooth straight line is continued
down the back of the head and at the
nape of the neck the hair is twisted in
a long coil that is held in place with

nape of the neck at the back. If you
like you may simply brush your short

However. most of US have an aversion

Soft Curls
In New Mode

Are you taking advantage of the
new, more becoming fashions In hair
dressing?
You have. of course. accepted the new
longer skirts and higher waistlines.
You have learned how to wear the new
picturesque evening dresses with suit
able insouciance You have found the
more feminine silhouette decidedly
f1attering, and you have acquired the
knack of wearing your hats off your
forehead without embarrassment. And
perhaps you have devised a new waycof
arranging your hair that is as UP to
date and as becoming as your clothes,
your accessories and your hats. But. II
you have not. then this is an excellent
time to go about it.
Remember that the severely simple,
bobbed couture is as unsuitable to the
new more feminine fashions in dress. as
an elaborate pompadour couture was
with the short skirts and straight sill
houette that prevailed a few years ago.
And remember, too, that the most up
to-date dresses and hats will not make
you look smart if you persist in ar
ranging your hair in a bygone mode.
From the point of view Of the hair
dressers. all the world of women is di-
vided into three groups-thoSe with
short hair, those with long hair and
those with hair that is partly grown,
and for the time being the third class
has the advantage. 1t is for them that
most of the newest modes of hair
dressing are devised.
If your hair is long. you had best
keep it we'll thinned and trimmed, be-
cause there is no place within the
present-day scheme of things for
bullying chlgnon, and unless your head
is exceptionally small you will have
difficulty in wearing the new hats as
they should be worn II you have large
knot of hair to dispose Of
If your hair Is still really short, our
advice is to let 1t grow little-that
is. unless you want to resort to false
hair to attain the more picturesque
coiffures required for formal afternoon
and evening wear. Many French wom-
en- follow this method.

PARIS. Nav %.

A COSTUME which created a real
\ stir of interest was glimpsed in the
Bots on Sunday. The skirt was OF black
fat crepe, while the jacket was of soft
dove-gray peau DANCE, and the blouse
of georgette in the same color. The
coat was a clever little fitted cutaway,
caught In at the waistline with single
button. The material of the jacket
also was used for the hat, modined
tricorne. given shape by regular rows
of silver stitching, which matched the
button on the jacket in tone.
Chanel again has startled the world
OF fashion with her iewelry and match
ing bag clasps which look like assem-
blies of porcelain beads but are in
reality of galilith. White and the
lightest shades of pink and blue are
her favorite colorS, and make the &C
cent notes of the dark costumes with
which they are seen.
This light accent note is one to be
considered in Connection with hand
bags. Everywhere one goes these, days
one meets the white leather bag. The
rage for light purses has been antici-
pated in linens, but had not been ex-
pected to invade formal town wear at
such an early date.
A radiant brunette at the gala open
ing of Ambassadors wore a frock of
pale lime-green satin, with full-length
coat of ivory satin. The coat had
rounded corners at the front, but
actually touched the floor in the back.
A draped collar of the heavy satin stood
up to frame the face. while the short
sleeves. ending in turnback cuff just
over the point of the elbow. were fiat
pleated all around the top and released
70 a puff above the cuff. The dress had
a simple bodice, with square decolle-
tage both back and front. A folded
drape in the skirt at about yoke depth
descended q little in the back and was
suggestive of the Greek chiffon. The
skirt gained its width by circular cut
ting.
Wine-red velvet made another outfit
that attracted a good deal Of attention.

out-turned seams extending about half
an inch for the bottom four inches.

Style for Each Type

The cotton evening dress differs from
the silk one in style and silhouette as
we'll as in material, for there is a def
mite difference between what one may
expect from chiffon or georgette, from
satin or taffeta, and what we look in
an organdie, dotted swiss or batiste.
For each type of material there are
different styles and generally speaking
the cotton styles are more picturesque,
more demure and perhaps more youth
full than the silk styles.
