The materials are getting
more and more interesting as
we go along! That love of a
blouse sketched third from the
left is made in a knitted mesh
with hand-fagoting interspersed
in stripe effect. But whatever
it was made of, we'd adore the
way it looks when you have 1t
on-that very short and very
new overblouse style that gives
the natural high waistline to
perfection. Notice the high,
round, buttoned neckline, and
the narrow self belt-interest-
ing new fashion points.
Scarf to Flatter
High necks get that way by a
dozen different devices. Not
often. though, will you find one
as flattering as the scarf effect
on the right. The scarf's of
self material and grows right
out of the neckline in the most
reflective manner. The material,
by the way, is something to
wait in line for! It's a loose
novelty knit, mesh-like in ap-
pearance. In fact, it reminds
you of that incest even knit of
stocking mesh. Long, fitted
sleeves, you see. And they have
a purpose-to wear with short
sleeve jackets, for that clever
touch Of contrast!
The Washington times., 1932-01-09

That smart and proper sill
houette with it's high. fitted
waistline, comes naturally with
a blouse and skirt. With the
new blouses, that is. For they're
cut that way. And they're built
high around the neck, because
Fashion says it's the new and
smart thing to do. They're so
original, in fact, that it's a joy
to look at them-and much
fun to wear them!
No Time to Lose
The most intriguing of the
blouses just at present are
those for sports wear-chiefly
because of the lovely new ma
terials. Of course, crepeS and
satins are as nice as ever-and
we're always needing one or two
but the new knits and woods
and cottons go with winter
suits, too-all but the really
formal ones. And they go lots
further. With separate skirts
they're making stunning sports
costumes. You'll see them worn
that way a lot this spring and
summer, for the fashions taken
hold already at resorts. It's the
kind of blouse sketched above
that is causing the excitement.
and we advise your buying one
and one of the new built-up-
above-the-waistline skirts as
The Washington times., 1932-01-09

soon as you can get downtown!
There's no better news in
Sportswear than the mannish-
tailored blouse at the left
above. It comes separately, in
blouse departments. For it's
one of those predominating
fashions that you'll find all
around the store as an i'm
portant sports dress feature!
But, so far, only in the separ-
ate blouse have we seen that
marvellous new Rodier silk
jersey with a suede-like finish,
that we've sketched. (More'S
the pity the material doesn't

Square With a Point
Right next door is a cotton
blouse-one of those miraculous
new cottons that you'd never
recognize! It's in a ribbed eff
feet, and very sheer-they call
it "ribbonette. Here's that
new high neck again-squared,
this time, with contrasting but
ton trim on the pointed flap
that broadens out the shoulder.
And matching buttons on the
square patch pocket at the
other side. It's an over-blouse,
as you can see, fitted at the
normal waist, and boasting
short, short sleeves.

His father was waving his pen

teer fire engine on the roof of
the lab! The time we stole the
sign off the police station! Dan,
that was big night"
Buckley wished that father
would stop pushing him around.
Suddenly father caught his eye.
He paused and slowly lowered
the pennant and looked over at
the new gymnasium.
How about getting in and
finding our seats, Dan?"
yeah, I think we better

Father took his arm as they
turned.

In Winter
Now, when old Winters hand
is on the earth
And the crisped leaves are
buried under snow,
I wonder. does the oak tree
long for mirth
And wings that stirred it's
foliage long ago?
Does it regret the springtime
overmuch,
The mating songs, the nests
so softly lined,
The winds of April and their
gentle touch,
The primrose, that with May
was left behind?
The oak tree wears its ermine
robe with pride
And bravely meets the north
winds fierceSt blast;
No weakness of regret for song
denied,
No murmurS for the sunlight
of the past
Life'S wintry bleakneSS comes;
but should man be

Your Health
And Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

Dy Logan NIcIiucllAlS' u" -"
A reader writes to ask about
the possibilities of curing vari-
cose veins.
It may be said with conf
dence that most cases of this
affliction are durable with the
modern method of injecting the
veins. Formerly the only meth
ods of treating the condition
we're surgical, requiring more
or less prolonged stay in ed
in the hospital Nor we're the
results by any means SatiSfac-
tory. If surgery was not en-
ployed, the only treatment was
by elastic supports to the leg,
which were troublesome and
time consuming, and besides
held out no hope of per-
manent cure.
Treatment Recommended
Today the injection treat
ment has been used over suf-
ficiently long period of time
that it can be recommended to
all who seek relief. If any
sufferer with this disease has
not heard of this method Of
treatment and does so through
this article, it will not have
been written needlessly.
In any surgical clinic today
one may see a number of these
patients who have received he
treatment. I have seen one wo-
man who had an ulcer on the
leg, resulting from varicose
veins. for % years.
Her life had gradually mar
rowed down to the point where
she did virtually nothing else
but dress and care for the
ulcer. She had been treated
by lights and SalveS and every
known form of treatment. Yet
a month after the veins were
injected the ulcer was nearly
healed and she was comfort
able and happy in her return
to an almost normal life.
A Happy Woman
It is not difficult to imagine
the happiness of this woman
who had for all those years
tried vainly to heal up this
ugly spreading sore. No won
der she thought healing was
impossible. While that is the
longest period I have heard
of the existence of an ulcer
which responded to treatment,
similar cases are common
enough.
The treatment is by injec-
ton in the veins of solution
which obliterates them. The
subsequent healing of the skin
disease is due to improved
nutrition, from better circula-
ton.
The treatment must. of
course, be carried out by a ply
sician. The method has be-
come so widely known, how
ever, that in any community
in the United States today, such
treatment can be obtained.

Sitting second hand A made
an opening bid of Heart. Op-
ponents had nothing to say, but
B jumped the declaration into
4-Spadess His partner reasoned
that his opening bid had caused
him to be trusted for three or
four assisting tricks, and that
B counted on winning six or
seven tricks in his own hand.
AS A held much greater values
than his opening bid had
shown, he bid 6-Spades. That
ended the bidding.
The opening lead was rs
K of clubs. While it appeared
almost hopeless to fulfill his
contract, B played dummy's
Ace. He led back AS lone spade
letting it run, as he was obliged
to take a finesse with five
trumps missing, including the
@. To gain entry to his own
hand, a low heart was lead from
dummy, and trumped by B.
When the K of spades was led,
z showed out of trumps, and
the declarer found that he had
to play a double grand coup,
necessitating twice shortening
his trumps, so that he and Y
would each have left just two
spades.

dryly. It seemed strange to be

them in his hat-band. He
looked at Buckley.
II got two-oh, yes, I wanted
to take one back with me. I

Buckley exhaled with relief.
