Curiosity
Probed
BY LOUIS E. BISCH, M. D., PHI. D.
Famous Authority on Health and
Psychology

BY LOUIS e. BISCH, M. D., PHI. d.
Famous Authority on Health and /,
Psychology
Curiosity, which has brought
about many inventions and dis
coveries, is one of the most help
full of the instincts we possess.
Yet there is such a thing as al
lowing our curiosity to run riot
and permitting it to become a
dominant force in our lives. 50
that we snoop into this and
into that without benefiting in
the least thereby, and only open
ing ourselves up to criticism. ''
In short, it does not matter so
much how strong our curiosity
urge is, but, rather, what do we
do with it,
AS children we were curious,
and we protited by it. Through
curiosity we learned almost
everything that we now know.
That was curiosity of the right
sort. 1t was the curiosity that
educates. 1t was the kind, also,
that keeps us learning. -
Nevertheless, just as there are
varieties of curiosity that are
useful and educative, there are
also kinds that are useless and
wasteful.
Running after fire engines
and ambulances, for example, or
being attracted like magnet
by every crowd that gathers in
the street, is the sort Of curios-
ity that does no good. Especially
in large cities, there are individ-
uals who become excited over
the slightest commotion and
who will stand for hours, neg
lecting their own work and
duties, simply to watch mouse
that happens to have escaped
from a nearby building.
Such persons would reply, II
questioned, that they were be-
ing entertained and that, there
fore, their behavior was justi-
fable. But is it not also true,
since there are just so many
hours in the day, that it is
best to employ them in ways
that will be stimulating and
productive of benefit?
Being curious in the right
way makes us find the best
there is in life. We should be
curious, for instance, to investi-
gate the character of people
with whom we are associated
or whom we consider as posi-
BILE friends; to discover whether
or not their friendship would
be an asset or a hindrance.
In reading a book we should
be curious enough to want to,
know the authors purpose and
whether he is portraying life
accurately; we should allow our
natural-born curiosity free play,
in order to discover earnestnesS,
merit. sentiment, sincerity and
knowledge of attested worth.
Yes. curiosity of the right
kind should be fostered. At
the same time it should also
be controlled.

The Beauty. Box

At the age Of 80 a woman
usually reaches normal weight
and if she lives a healthy,
highly energized life she will
not increase in tonnage as she
gets older. Fat is no help; it
is an annihilator of youthful
lines. Two sessions a week at
a gym class, together with five
minutes of setting up exercises
every morning will provide so
much muscle action that adj

In spite of the manufacture
er's best efforts, many women
report to us that they have
difficulty in finding smart
dresses, made on youthful lines,
but to fit larger figures. So
we've been shopping around
for some dresses for holiday
evenings, smart, individual,
cut for the woman of larger
proportions, and not too high
priced. We think our efforts
have been well rewarded, for
we have found some stunning
ones, beautifully made so that
they are bound to fit if they
are in your size, as smart as if
they were for a girl of 16, and
at moderate prices. We've

black velvet dress, long Of skirt,

down the back opening, and
with beautifully cut sleeves,
finished with more brilliants.
1t was a dress of great elegance

"You did not!"
"I meant to, then. He's a

very fond of him, however"
He put her into a taxi, and
stood a moment on the curb.
His eyes met hers, a little wist-
fully underneath their friendly
smiling. A question, an appeal
seemed to hover on his lips.
But he did not speak save to
wish her goodbye.
Driving home she remem-
bered that he had probably
wanted to ask her about her
mother. To send a message,
perhaps.
In a moment she had forgot

Staines. She'd never met any

He was charming, he was light.

he had, she decided, a fascinat-

one would never know whether
to take seriously or not. Cool,

She sketched little triangles

Said 1t Would, Break Her Heart
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I went with a nice girl for
about a year, and then because
she disappointed me once,
though it really wasn't her
fault, became angry and told
her was through. She said
if I left her it would break her
heart. Since then I have never
seen her. I have gone with
other girls and tried to forget,
but cannot. I know I have
made a mistake, because I re-
alize now love her dearly. I
don't like to visit her, because
her mother knows I turned her
down cold. I have seen her
girl friend and asked with
whom she is going row. She
told me she has not gone with
anyone since we parted. I asked
her if she ever thinks of me or
talks of me. She said some
times, but when she does she
always cries. Do you think it
would be possible for me to get
her back? M. h.
No doubt the girl will be only
to glad to make up with you;
but frankly, wouldn't recon-
ciliation with SO jealous and
overbearing a man be a doubt

You see, I've not printed all
of your letter about her plead
ings and tears. It seemed to me
you were unnecessarily cruel
about as little a thing as a
broken date, for which you ad-
NIT she had a perfectly good ex-
cuse. Men who enjoy brow-beat-

angry deity seem fine subjects

Not Exactly a Model Husband
Dear Miss Fairfax: My hus-
band has everything-a beauti-
full cars, nice clothes-and goes
- places. I sit home wondering
how I am to pay the next gas
and electric bills. I have been
married 16 years. We have one
boy IS years old, and it is for
him that I stand so much. He
goes to high school, and I work
at whatever / can get; of late.
in a bakery. I am good plain
cook, and if I could I'd like to
get a position in some mother
less home; but it's hard when
you have a boy to take with you.
My husband meets certain
young lady every morning, some
times waiting half an hour for
her: takes her out in his car,
and spends much time in her
apartment. He pays our rent.
1 keep the table, the boy and
myself. When he does work he
never earns less than $75 a
week.. Sometimes he would get
as much as 5000 a week, and he
never gave me more than $40.
I am alone, as my friends have
all forsaken me, saying I was
and still am a fool. I am grow
ing old, but am just over forty.
When I married I was cut off,
and have had nothing since
but hard work. I am wonder
ing if I can get divorce with
out it's costing too much.
ANNIE.
It seems, as yeu state things
in your letter. a very unequal
division of responsibility; and
if you have definitely made up
your mind to a divorce, better
have good legal advice. I would
suggest that you see the clerk
of the court in your county seat.
He will tell you what steps to
take to secure proper mainte-
nance for your son. Even philan'
dering husbands have obliga-
tions which they seem to over
look until they come up against
the proper legal authority.

Bidable Suits

In considering what consti-
tutes a .biddable suit, we must
consider the number Of trump
tricks that average to be won
by a declarer at a suit make,
and we also must consider ex-
pediency, including the fact
that modern bidders show their
own suits over partner, instead
of following the ancient custom
of letting him play a suit of
which they hold only three
small cards.
In general, ability to win five
tricks total justifies considering
any of the following suits as
biddable: A-10-X-X or better,
K-Q-X-X, K7J-10, Q-X-X-X-X,
J-1O-X-X-X, any suit of six
cards. You may at times be
justified in bidding even weaker
suits than the above minimums,

CHAPTER xXXIv

what, for heavens sakes?
no such thing as love?" asked
Van Alstyne, interrupted in a
rather middle-aged dissertion on
little Sally Morgan, Lady
Staines, and her son.
you've found that out at
eighteen?" he laughed.
"Going-on-nineteen."
Van Alstyne was silent. She
asked, mischievously, "Is there?"
81 think so. Joyce"
They went into the Ritz.
Young Staines was not in the
lounge and Joyce and Van Al
Styne went downstairs and
found a table and presently,
after her healthy order had
been given, Van Alstyne left
her and went in search of his
friend. She sat there alone,
looking for, and not finding,
any one she knew, speculating
on the Standardization of wom-
ems looks and clothes, tapping
her foot to the beat of the or
chestra, smiling happily be-
cause she was young and pretty,
because she was endlessly
stimulated by the new world
her work was opening up be-
fore her, because she liked
crumpets, drippy crumpets, and
had a good digestion.
A very tall, lean young, man
was approaching the table. Van
Alstyne was beside him. They
sat down, the informal intro
ductionS were made, StaineS
commanded quantities of tea
and then sat back to look at
Joyce.
He thought her the prettiest
girl he had ever seen. She was
not, really, but he believed it.
which amounts to the same
thing.
Basil Staines had very blonde
hair and a short, clipped mus
tasche. He had steel gray eyes
and a beaked, imperious nose.
His skin was ridiculously pink
and white, he had that decep-
lively innocent appearance
which seems peculiar to his race
and class.
At The Play
''I've seen you BEFORE" he
told her, staring frankly.
Really? Where?"
He named the play, the ap-
proximate date, a week or so
earlier.
"You were in a box"
"How nice of you to remem-
ber!" said Joyce.
"Quite involuntary. one
wouldn't, you know"
wouldn't what?"

"He has a marvellous line"
Joyce remarked to their host,
and Van
Hes rather noted for it,"
he agreed.
Basil was no strong, silent
hero, the taciturn Britisher of
fiction. He consumed quarts Of
strong tea, he waved crtl,npets
perilously in the air and talked
an amazing amount Of sense
and nonsense. He likej Amer
lea, He liked New York, He
liked his job. He liked every
thing. And it seemed perfectly
obvious that ne liked Joyce.
Shortly after six Joyce
looked at her wrist watch and
came to her feet with an audi
bic gasp.
For Pete's sake! I'll be
drawn and quartered and
maybe boiled in oil. Uncle
Fred, will you get me a taxi
or something? They'll be tele-
phoning to the police station
and the hospitals"
"But you can't possibly be
married." said Staines in
round-eyed horror. "Old Fred,

Cant possibly?" asked Joyce
Indignantly and Van Alstyne

"Oh, I see, we had one of

When they reached the lobby
Staines remembered an engage
ment and rushed off to tele-

own.
