CHE glanced at the clock. It
- lacked but 10 minutes of the

struggled into her coat she added
another prayer to her litany.

and spoke about the weather. To.

Hurry. hurry!" Her footsteps
kept time with the words. A traffic
light delayed her at one corner.
The policeman seemed maddeningly
slow. It seemed ages before she
found herself again in the elevator
Of the Office building.
Bob would be there still. He
would be coming out Of Mr.. Heath's
room as she took of her hat. They
would have just a moment together
but he would finish what he had
started to say. Susan hesitated be-
fore turning the knob. savoring the
flavor Of anticipation. Then she
flung the door open, trying to re-
member just how she behaved on
ordinary days.
Quickly she went to the closet
, and hung away her coat. She would
not look in the direction Of Mr..
Heath's private Office. It would all
happen easily and naturally. She
would be patient. As she crossed
the room to give Pierson the bank

And Bob Sherwood, oldest Of the

of a writer, recalled another tough
era. Grover Cleveland was president.
The circus was playing Washington.

only trick President Cleveland can do
is to take off his collar without un-

Two organizations of tanbark ad-
diets exist in New York. One is the
Circus Fans; the other, the Circus
Saints and Sinners. The latter meets
weekly at the Park Lane hotel where
a special room is decorated with
white top trimmings, printed back
grounds and lurid four-sheets and
autographed photos of performers.
The members are, for the most part,
staid business men who have never
brushed all the sawdust from their
coats. At the scheduled gatherings
they forget business affairs and talk
circus lingo. Whenever possible, they
have as guests of honor famed stars
of the tent show.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS :: By Wilma LoViIe

This seasons dinner hats
have appeared, and hav>
been looked over with a great
deal Of pleasure by women
who are buying them, and by
those who are merely checking
up on what's smart. Not only
are they extremely suitable and
chic for use with the rather
modified gowns we wear out to
dine or dance, but they are so
simple that they can be worn
for afternoon too. So they serve
a double purpose in this year
when we try to make everything
practical and economical. Most
of the extremes have been elm
mated, and in nearly every
shop, you will see only the sim
pie hats that are, after all,
much the Smartest.
Satin First Fabric
Satin is the material used for
most Of these formal hats. Ham
mered satin is newest, a rough
type that goes well not only
with satin, but with gowns of
rough crepe too. You will see
a few metals, but they are far
outnumbered and we might say
outsmarted, by the satins. Tur-
bans are the general rule, and
there are such a variety of
them that there's a shape for
every face. Occasionally you'll
see a sailor or other brimmed
hat in satin, worn with a din
ner gown, just for variety's
sake. Some turbans have stiff
wells that flare so abruptly that
they suggest a Shadowy brim,
but most of them are simple
and untrimmed. Black is the
most popular color, though you
can get turbanS in all favored
colors to match your gowns.
For Larger Women
We've sketched a sailor that
shows how smart they can be,
and this 90 one is particularly
practical because it's made Of

Psychology.
Every now and again the
body and mind seem to go a
bit stale and to require a little
popping up. It is then that
the individual begins to think
Of taking a Stimulant. I'm
fortunately, the word "stimu-
liant" has disagNeab1e associa-
tions. We connect it invariably
with alcoholic beverages, cof-
fee, tea, cocoa, tobacco, tonic
medicines and the like, and
usually think of such indul-
gence in excess amounts.
But food. too, should be
looked upon as a stimulant.
Indeed, all things that tend
to revitalize are stimulants.
There are those who boast
Of never taking any Of the
ordinary stimulants, such as
tea, coffee or alcohol, but who
eat daily large quantities Of
chocolate or bon-bonS, and mix
several heaping teaspoonfuls Of
sugar with their breakfast
cereal.
Yet sugar is one of the most
important Of the Stimulants.
1t oxidizes readily in the body
and produces warmth and
energy, just as does alcohol.
In fact, many persons notice
a sense Of renewed vigor after
eating candy. In Switzerland
in particular it is the custom
for mountain climbers and
those who go on long hikes
to carry a quantity Of choco-
late.
Graves His Sugar
When an individual has been
accustomed to taking one or
more alcoholic drinks each day,
and then suddenly quits en-
tirely, a pronounced craving
for sugar in all forms invari-
ably follows. The same de-
sire for sweets is noted when

Getting married is like flying
the Atlantic. A lot of men are
intrigued or fascinated by the
idea of it, who would never
think of taking the risk.
Many a housewife looks for

she can reach the preserves on

stumbling over the gin-bottles.

a cold shower followed by a rub
down, particularly if massage is
included, will often do more
than a highball and a pack Of
cigarettes.
But whatever form of Stimula-
ton we employ. let us be sensi-
BILE about it. To say that we
will never indulge in any of the
ordinary stimulants is perhaps
just as foolish as to indulge in
all Of them every day. After
all, we are entitled to enjoy our
lives as much as we can. And,
surely, stimulants may be used

provided the individual equation
is always considered.

smoking is cut down. When
prohibition first went into ef-
feet, candy stores reported that
men who had never crossed
their thresholds before were
buying confections by the
pound.
Stimulants may do you good,
but common sense must be en-
ployed in their use, and the
general health of the body
should first be thought Of.
If we feel tired and worn out
we must not at once think Of
mixing cocktail. Very often
it is merely lack Of sleep. i'm
proper diet or too little exercise
that is slowing up our general
physiological processes.
The Washington times., 1932-12-08

On the other hand, if Stimu-
lants are chosen wisely they are
not likely to do us any harm,
and may even be productive Of
much good. Recent researches
show that even alcohol, in small
amounts and daily, is harmless
for the average individual. To
old people it gives feeling Of
wellbeing that is distinctly bene-
ficial.
But the trouble is that we are
all inclined to do things to ex-
cess. Although tobacco may not
harm a particular individual
when used in moderate quanti-
ties, that same person is likely
to overdo the habit and thus
vitiate any possible benefit he

ing effects.
Select Your StimulantS
The important thing is to rec
ognize that you may only need
stimulation temporarily, and al
ways to select a stimulant that
will not leave a secondary and
inSidious harmful effect after
ward.
Mental stimulation also may
be obtained in other ways be-
sides foods. Music, for instance,
may act as a stimulant. A

serve as an adequate antidote
for torpid mind. Bathing may

took the lift, Elizabeth beside
her. At the door Of the apart
ment Louisa raised a steady
hand and knocked.
Joyce was limp in a big
chair, a little sick from lack
of food, from heat, from ia
tigue. Basil got up from a
footstool beside her and said
briefly, THE man back, I sup
pose."
Ill at Ease
He went to the door. He
walked like an old man. Three
hours had passed since Joyce
had reached him, and. he was
no nearer to persuading her
than before. He had stormed,
pleaded, even wept.
He opened the door and in
stantly stood back, allowing
Louisa Sheldon and her daugh-
ter-in-law to pass into the room
before him. They had no word
for him, no greeting. He was
aware Of a tremendous and
shameful embarrassment and a
resentment. He knew that in
his present position no man
has yet succeeded in looking
like q hero. He blamed Joyce
bitterly: he hated her, he loved
her. Now, she would have to
marry him. He was conscious
of this wild, underlying hope.
These women would force her
to it, she. had no escape.
Joyce had risen. She stood
quite still, her face drawn, her
eyes heavy, her frock creased,
snfudged with dust. She said
nothing, looking from one wom-
an to the other.
MAY I ask what you are
doing here, Joyce?"
Basil tried to speak. Louisa
silenced him with a gesture.
Joyce lifted her chin. Her
pallor was flushed now. She
answered.
Basil is sailing for England.
T came up to say good-by."
II understand that" re-
marked her grandmother. "I
can also see that you have
made yourself quite at home"
Mrs. Sheldon!"
"Be quiet" Louisa ordered the
boy, her eyes upon Joyce. "Is
this the first time you have
been in this apartment?
"No!"
Elizabeth Sheldon put out q
hand and felt for the smooth
support Of the wall. Her heart
was beating so she thought she
must die Of it. She kept her
eyes riveted, torn wide open, on
Joyce's face.
What a Fool!
"No? I thought as much.
What a fool you must have
considered me-" commented
Louisa bitterly. IT am to take

Basil jerked forward. He
did not notice the form Of ad-
dress. He shouted.
"Stop that! I love Joyce and
she loves me-"
Mrs. Sheldon looked at him
a moment.
"But that is beside the ISSUE"
she explained, with a very
dreadful gentleneSs. "The real
question seems to be, are you
going to marry her?"
Basil was beside himself with
rage and resentment. He felt
that he despised Joyce for fore
