DYSPEPSIA used to be called
by the English "The American
Disease" Soda water foun-
tains, hot bread, ice cream
sandwiches, business hurrieS,
rush, push, strain, gulp, swal-

such were the obvious things
the calm and serene Anglo
Saxon lords of creation saw as
the causes of the American in
digestion.
How much dyspepsia In
America has increased or de-
creased of late I do not know,
but since the war, and since
British empire (almost but not
quite consolidated) stock has
declined somewhat, it seems to
have made great progress with

Albion.
Which is to say that much
indigestion is due to emotions.
It is nervous indigestion. And
just to show that there is such

A recent study was made of
the patients complaining Of
stomach trouble who entered q
large New York clinic. Few of
them had any actual disease Of
the stomach-most of them
had worry and fear, economic
and domestic trouble, love af-
fairs, business worries as the
cause of their symptoms.

The patient may have become

CHAPTER ~

Connie sat perfectly still,
looking at Duke Carson and
trying to decide, out Of her
amazement, whether she was
angry or not. While she had
been trying to impress him with
her wisdom she had produced,
apparently, nothing more than
a cynical disregard. Carson
had spoken to her as though
she were all wrong-cool and
without any trappings Of gal
lantry he had questioned both
her motives and her common
And in the midst Of this,
most disconcertingly, Connie
found herself thinking what an
attractive man Duke Carson
was! OF all thoughts this should
have been the very last, but
Duke Garson's personality, per-
versely, intruded into her mind
and diluted her resentment.
She was mystified that he did
not see the case as she saw it;
obviously, he had sufficient in
telligence.
Now, while she did not feel
at all romantic, it was impossi-
BILE for her to ignore the dra-
matte aspects of GarSon's
charm. For one thing, his eyes
held her fascinated; impenetra-
BILE dark pools, curiouSly alive.
He was still, she guessed, un-
der 30; vaguely, he was hand
some, but this was lost, some
how, in the aura of unusual
ness that hung around him.
His Life History
What, she wondered, was his
life history? It was hardly pos
sible for her to realize that he
was a crook, a criminal, yet
she knew obscurely that he was
connected with the underworld.
This, however, did not give
him any glamour beyond that
Of his natural self. His mys-
terry was a challenge to her
feminine curioSity-here was q
lure that led her on.
II thought you would agree
with me about Kitty and JIM"
Connie said, her voice a little
hurt. "It'S not pleasant to have
you disagree entirely with every
thing I say"

The poor doctor may not have

the doctor makes no mention OF
it, no special denial of its pres

poisoned. When the question,
What disease are you afraid
you have?" is asked, the
answer may be Cancer" or
Tuberculosis" or Heart trou-'

To all such fears the stom-

the symptoms of indigestion.

Something in the stomach? Not
at all. A gruesome sight, an
accident, news of someone's
death, loss of money, presence
of a rival in love-in short, the
stomach responded to some as

about chronic emotional dis

be translated into chronic stom-

Love and Marriage
Does the modern husband
think more Of his home than the
modern wife? Is love for chill
dren as strong in men as in
women?
When the crash comes in fam.
fly life, is it the young husband
who is more willing to pick up

than the girl wife?

answered "yes'' to the above
questions. He specializes in di-
vorce, his clientele the young

be taken for straws showing the

Initiating the Brides Linen
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN::
am to be married soon and
I would like to know if it Is
proper, when using an initial
on linens, to use that Of your
fiance or your own? I have
read where both are proper.
My girl friends and I have
had many discussions on this
subject but their opinions seem
to differ. e. r.
And opinions always do and
probably will differ about this.
I wish that I could tell you just
which is correct, but that is q
matter Of individual choice. For
merly there was a definite rule,
that the bride-to-be used, on her
silver and on her linen, those
gifts that she took to her new
home, the initials of her maiden
name. And conservative and-1
think - well bred brideSto-be
still abide by this traditional
and fine custom. But there has
grown up a new school Of brides
who radically use the initials Of
the name that is to be theirs
when they are married.
This last custom I do not
agree with, as to correctness, for
many reasons: To begin with
the name is not yet theirs, and
therefore, they have not yet the
right to use it; too, they are dis
regarding tradition and conven-
ton and fine custom, and, also,
believe >that a census Of who
uses which form will show that
the well-bred girl still uses the
initials Of her maiden name.
