And Diet

Nerve tonics are all right as
long as they build you up. But
occasionally some of them
break you down. The kind I
refer to are those which con-
tain bromideS. Bromide is
really a nerve sedative, but it
is frequently put in tonics be-
cause the patient who is ner-
vous often thinks he needs a
tonic when the best results
come from a sedative; the man.
ufacturerS of tonicS know this
and act accordingly.
There is no harm in taking
bromides except that it is very
easy to get an overdose. The
symptoms which result from
this overdoSage are usually not
recognized as being caused by
the medicine that is being
taken for a tonic. Hence the
patient goes on a long time
keeping on with the very thing
that is making him worse and
worse.
One sort of bromide intoxica-
ton is frequently missed, even
by the physician. These are
the patients who appear to be
mentally unbalanced and con-
fused.
Thus a man of 80 years was
picked up on the street by the
police and admitted to a hos
pital in a state of mental con-
fusion and inability to walk
straight. He was unable to give
any account Of himself, and
was supposed to have acute al
coholiSm. When he got better,
which he did on very simple
treatment, he told the story
which cleared the diagnosis.
He had been taking a tonic,
prescribed by a physician,
which was equal parts of aro-
matte spirits of ammonia and
elixir Of bromide.
AC CCAlACAlCy " GdhC HlOIC
and more of a tonic as one
feels worse is a reason for so
many of these cases getting
into bad condition.
OF course. the commonest
form Of bromide poisoning is in
the form Of the bromide skin
rash. This appears as ugly
boils or pimples on the skin,
especially of the face or legs.
One such patient recently
drawn to my attention had
large fungouS ulcerations on
her legs and had been treated
in a clinic for several differ
ent diseases. before the fact
she was taking a tonic for her
nerves established the proper
diagnosis of bromide eruption.

The requirements of good
spectator sports clothes are
that they shall look like they
were meant for the out-of doors,
and yet be as smart as any
frock to wear on the street or
in town. They must be per-
fectly comfortable but must
maintain their good lines, and
be attractive. Sometimes it's
hard to find clothes with
enough simplicity and yet chic,
but this year, the number seems
unlimited. And furthermore they
are often made with jackets, so
that their usefulness is futher
increased.
Outdoors COlOrS
This years fabrics, the rough
and dull crepeS, and the in
teresting cotton weaves are ad-
mirably suited to spectator
sports clothes. The vivid COM
binations of color that we use
are loyelier than ever when
they are out Of doors. and the
styles are perfectedly suited,
long straight lines. slim but
with ample room for action.
So we have a fine crop of
jacket frockS, of Shirtmaker
types, and of dresses with
short sleeves, that look like they
were just made for a horse
show or watching a tennis
match, but are practical be-
cause you can wear them in
town afterward.
Can Come to Town
It will be hard to find dress
anywhere much smarter than
the one trimmed with a print

He went on through the
memoranda that disclosed what
was happening throughout the
five boroughs of the Greater
City. A trigger woman had
killed her gangster lover not
far from the Doyers Street
bend in Chinatown. She had
got away, but an hour later,
her body, chopped in seven
pieces, had been found in a
bakers wagon on Third Ave
nue.. From this macabre note,
Colt turned to smile at the
account of what happened to
a young New York university
student while on a walk through
Central Park. A car stopped
by, in which three cookbook
ing girls were riding. They
enticed him into their car and
drove off with him. Hours
later he was discovered stunt
bling along through a deserted
path that wound at last into
the lights of Long Islands Mer-
rick Road. He had been crimi-
nally assaulted by these arm
orous Amazons. Up to a late
hour no trace of his captors
had been found. A case of
penny-weighting of expensive
jewels was reported from one
of the important Fifth Avenue

contrast with the pastel blue
of the dress and jacket.
The printed crepe is encrusted
on the jacket, and ends in a

shut. Then it makes a crossed

dress, as you can see from the
smaller drawing. Flamenga
crepe. one of the new rough
and dull silks is the fabric of
the jacket and skirt, and other
fashion points to notice are the
straight jacket with open
sleeves, also straight down from
the shoulder. The self belt has
a covered buckle, newer than a
composition buckle.
A Better Type
The color combination in
the other suit is brighter, but
Just as smart. White is COM
bined with deep yellow. The
material is again flamenga.
Yellow makes a clever design on
the white crepe where the yoke
joins, and the neckline is held
by two carved buttons. Short
sleeves make the dress practical
without the jacket, while the
open sleeves of the jacket make
it possible to wear the costume
in town too. Another thought
is that as the jacket is plain
without any of the white
crepe on it, you could use it
effectively with plain white
frocks too. Although these
frocks are only $3.50 apiece,
they are decidedly of the
better" type, in both work
manship and design. and will
make a splendid costume for

OF all the griefs by which the
heart is torn,

No anguish is too weighty to be

When two can share the pain.
There is no gleam too far, no

When two together seek, hopes

Through cares obScurity.
Each rosebud grows the fairer,
and each song
OF lark and thrush more clear,
When through life's gardens
two can pass along
Through joyous year on year.
The human heart is such a
happy thing,
So tranquil and elate,
That all the vexing goads must
lose their sting
When it has found its mate.

He Was Not In Earnest

ne was NOC III EaEHeSC
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man % years
old, and go to quite a few
dances. About four months ago
a friend of mine introduced me
to a couple who were engaged.
I happened to be acquainted
with the man, but that was the
first time 1 had met the girl.
She and I were quite attracted
to each other almost at once,
and naturally I danced with
her quite bit. The man
seemed to resent my being so
much with his girl. and, of
course they quarreled constant
ly. Last week they parted COM
pany because she insisted that
she would not stop dancing
with me. I told her that we
should stop being so friendly,
but she tearfully refused. She
also gave me her fraternity pin
to show her affection. Now I
think she would be happier with
her fiance, and that it would
be best if they made up. I
would appreciate any advice
you give me on this subject.
LARRY.
Well, my dear Larry, you're
not the first man who has ex-
perienced some of the diSad-
vantages of his own fascina-
tions. The facts of the case ap-
pear to be that you've broken
up a couple, and the girl would
like to become serious with you,
but it would appear that you
have only been flirting. Better
make yourself scarce as far as
that girl is concerned. You're
not involved in any way, except
for the pricks of your own
conscience, which really should
prick. It's not honorable to
break up a couple when you're
only flirting and seeking a good
dancing partner. The girl prob
ably will go back to her original
boy friend when she sees you
were not in earnest.
Two Young for This Under
taking
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of 18 years of age
and considered not only good
looking but good. I was very
much in love with a boy 21
years of age. He works, but
he drinks on Saturdays and
Sundays, as those are his days
off. Many times he's even
drunk when he comes to see
me. He says if we were mar
ried he'd quit, but he has made
so many promises, and always
breaks them.
While I was away on trip
I met another young man who
fell in love with me, and I've
learned to care a great deal for
him. My home town boy
friend called me up two weeks
ago and told me he was drink
ing more now, because he
thinks I am angry. Do you
think he would quit drinking
If I made up? B. E.

held the contract.
The opening lead was rs
Six of Spades; dummy'S nine
and Y'S K covered in turn, and
the declarer's Ace won the first
trick. The return lead was the
Five of Hearts. Evidently z ex-

trick, as he refused to put up his
Ace; dummy's lone. 10 won the
trick.
The third trick consisted of
the 4, 3, 10 and Ace Of Clubs.
z won the trick and he had to
lead. Resolved to win at east
one trick more, z led his Ace Of
Diamonds, and B won by trump
ing with his Seven of Clubs. B
led back a Spade; dummy's 10
won the trick. The sixth trick
was won with dummy's K OF
Diamonds, affording B an op-
portunity to discard one Of his
losing Hearts.
Dummy's last Club was led,
and the trick was won by BIS j.
The eighth trick was taken with
the declarer's K of Clubs. Dunn
my'S Eight Of Diamonds was dis
carded. B put dummy in the
lead by playing his last Sp,.de,
and winning the trick with AS

The tenth trick went to AS @

with the thirteenth trump, but
he had left in his hand only
the 10-7 of Diamonds, and he
had to lead that suit up to AS

which diamond Y led, dummy

giving the declarer five-odd at
Clubs, or one trick more than
his contract, upon a trump suit
that most players would heSi-

No Effect
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

0AdG&AS 0N44AO \ kA4&NG 61<As
I've known a certain man for
about three years and love him.
It's not an infatuation. Al
though we have never gone out
together. I see him several
times each day, but he doesn't
seem to have any further in
terest in me. How can
rouse an interest. Is it pos
sible? It's not possible for me
to have a party; that's out Of
the question. ANN.
About a fortnight ago I had
a very amusing letter from a
girl who solved a problem like
yours triumphantly, so I'll pass
along her brand Of magic. The
young man to whom she is now
engaged is passionately devoted
to music. That was the snare
that drew him. even as the
smell of gingerbread is said to
draw the bears to the hotel
kitchen in Yellowstone Park.
In the first place she imag-
ined a cousin who had two tick
cts for a PadereWSki concert,
and said to the young man,
whose desk was near hers in q
downtown office and who, like
your young man, seemed un-
aware OF her existence: Il have
two tickets for the Paderewski
concert. My cousin can't go,
has backed out at the last min
ute. Would you care about 60
ing in her place?
She's now shopping for her
going-away gown, and it remains
to be seen whether she will bless
or otherwise that non-exiStent
cousin.
Their Standards Are Different
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man 20 years
of age. have been going with
a girl for two years, and we
love each other. The other
night I saw her with a man
10 years older. This man is
known to be no good. I saw
them go into a public park, and
sit down and kiss. The next
night I told her about it, and
she told me she loved me, but
she would do what she pleased.
would like your advice on
what to do.
T. G. o.
If you're not engaged to the
girl, you really can't object to
what she does.
Perhaps it might be we'll to
try to find nice girl who meas
ures up more to your standards.
Petting in a public park with
a man such as you describe
doesn't sound so good.
