Why She Came

Deems Taylor is telling a
story of a well-known politician
who was married to one of the
homeliest women in New York.
Yet, as the years went by, he
seemingly remained extremely
devoted to her. No matter
where he went, she was always
with him. Regardless of the
occasion, she was by his side.
He was a big man-but it
seemed to some of his friends
that he could be still bigger if
his wife could be left out of
the picture at certain times.
One night at a large dinner a
pal asked him about the situa-
ton.
John" he said, Il know
you'll forgive me for getting
personal because it's for your
own good. We all like your
wife and all that, but she does
get on our nerves sometimes.
Why do you always bring her
with you?"
The politician grinned rue
fully.
ITS very simple" he replied.
"Tf l didn't take her with me
I'd have to kiss her good
by"
The old order changeth. In
other days, it was news when
man bit a dog. Today it's news
when the same guy bites a
sandwich.

Inasmuch as 1 week-ended

that I ran true to form by WIS.,

wasn't any sunshine. But even
if there had been. I wouldn't
have known anything about it.
The clubs in this section are
managing passably well. That
is, a few of them are. The Lido
had a neat crowd the night I
was there. And the RoSs-Fen-

beautiful dine-and-dance spots
in the United States, was do

E Street Troupe
Shines in GAY
FroIic

Some poet has sung that no
love on earth can compare with
that of one dead drunk for an
other. Development of that
theme, in "As Husbands Co." the
amusing comedy by Rachel
Crothers which the National The
ater Players are presenting at
the hoSpitaple E Street house
this week, brings about a most
delightful solution of a trans
atlantic romance and preserves
the sanctity of the great Ameri-
can home against any and all
foreign invaders.
How 1t Works Out
We learn much from this en-.
tertaining thesis. One thing, for
instance, is that the old lady
from Dubuque no longer stays
home and reads what the maya
zine editors elegantly term "slush
for the women" She goes to
Paris; she has the time of her
life, and she comes home oh, so
continental!
"AS Husbands Go" recounts
the adventures of Lucille Lingard
and Emmie Sykes, who have been
doing Europe and who have sue
cumbed temporarily to the lure
of continental culture. Lucilles
variety is a youthful and charm
ing British poet. Emmie's is a
continental mixture, eager, after
many conquests, for peace and
security His intentions are hon
orable, so long as Emmie's money
holds out.
Romance RecedeS
The real problem arises when
Lucille falls in love with Ronnie
and seriously considers leaving
hubby, who has remained home,
10 miles from Dubuque. But
when Ronnie comes to her home
to bear her away in triumph.
hubby takes him fishing, and
under the stimulus of lots of
Scotch-neceSsary to ward off
chills-the men become fast
friends and romance recedes into
the distance.
Leona Powers, Kathryn Givney,
Raymond Bramley, Forrest Orr
and Donald Woods have congo
nial roles, and make much of
them.

take a good poke at her nose.

HOW TO KEEP WELL
By Educational

A prematurely lined face may be the
result of worry or disease, or it may be
the result of ill-fitting shoes.
TuS members of the Minnesota State
Medical Association warn all women
whose choice of foot wear is based on
good looks rather than comfort.
"a better fitted shoe, roomier and
not quite so high in the heel may make
all the difference between a smooth
attractive face and wrinkled worried
one," says the bulletin.
There is no valid excuse either in
good looks or economy for the prevail
ing tight-shoe phobia. 1t has caused
painful irremediable foot defects,
damage to internal organs and bad
dispositions" The doctors point out,
Mine times out of ten the weakened
deformed feet that are almost universal
in adult women were caused simply by
insiStence on shoes improperly fitted
and might easily have been avoided
AT best modern society places a
greater strain on the feet than nature
intended, the bulletin notes Our feet
are called upon by occupation and dress
to function under unfavorable con-
ditions Nature meant us to stand and
walk in such a position that the heels
are on the same level as the toes. High
heels tend to force the body forward.
They force the weight upon the toes,
deform the arch of the foot, shorten
the muscles on the back of the calf and
disturb the relations of the internal
organs.
1.-The best we can do to offset in
evitable strain is to refrain from wear
ing exaggeratedly high heels, at least
for walking" says the bulletin. And
we can refrain from forcing our feet
into torture-instruments of shoes that
are too short or too narrow.
Anyhow, the woman whose feet are
buldging from shoe that is manifestly
too small is as unbeautiful as she is
uncomfortable.
IAN orthopedist can help sometimes
in the fitting and correction of defects
in feet that have been seriously de-
