Rheumatism is a very loose
term that may imply a variety
Of conditions. One who has
pains in the joints or a stiff
back is likely to say he is suf-
fering from rheumatism, es-
pecially if these symptoms come
and 60. But many disorders go
by the same name Of rheuma~
tiSm are not rheumatism at all,
while at the same time real
rheumatism may arise from
some source that is extremely
difficult to find.
Persons past middle life are
particularly prone to rheumatic
pains. Usually they come on at
intervals, but now and again
there are cases where they are
continuous. With pain in the
joints there is, usually a de-
gree Of stiffness, and the attack
may become so severe that the
involved joints are red and
swollen. and very tender to pres.
suree. Several painful joints
at the same time are the rule,
but the pain may appear at one
time in the shoulder, then in
the fingers, then in the knees,
or elsewhere.
AS an example, many persons
believe they are suffering from
rheumatism, when actually their
disease is neuritiS, an inflamma-
tion Of q nerve itself and there
fore just as painful or even
more so than an ordinary rheu-
matte attack. In like manner
people have pains in the chest
which they aScribe to neuralgia,
when actually some lung or
heart disease is at the basis Of
the trouble. Others may Suf-
fer discomfort in the abdomen,
especially on the right side,
and think the cause Is rheuma-
tism, when actually either the
appendix or the gall bladder is
to blame.
Medical science does not yet
know as much about rt1euma-
tiSm as it would like, to know.
Various poisons in the blood
and tissues, an acid condition,
exposure to damp and cold
any or all Of these may be re-
Sponsible; but exactly how these
operate in the system to cause
the joints to become enlarged
and tender is not quite clear.
It may be said, however, that
those who are subject to rheu.
matte attacks should always
avoid sudden changes of climate
If possible, also climates that
are too severe during the win
ter months. Moving into a
warm climate from a cold one
often prevents regular rheu-
matte attacks. Treatments with
electricity seldom does much
good, but baking and heat are
valuable. Great benefit also
may be had from wrapping the
painful parts iH cold, wet cloths

Now, secretly, she had blossomed
into a creature Of infinite posi-

Why had she hated it so that

So Elizebeth began to look
over the golden frock. Was it
pretty enoughP Was it smart?
She had been going out" Of
course, for some years, staidly,
with Louisa. Dinners, concerts,
theater, bridge. But this would
be quite different---a dance.
Could she still dance, she
wondered? She had never
danced much, at home, before.
Lennox had taught her, really.
She remembered the dances on
shipboard, the colored lights.
She hummed under her breath,
she turned her slim body and
spun silently about the polished
floor, the frock over her arm.
Her eyes laughed. her mouth
curved. Thirty-one! Surely, not
such a gerat age. Lennox-you
wouldn't want me not to have
o little good time9
She felt achingly tender to-
ward Lennox as If he were a
dear, younger brother, 10 years
away-10 years away.
Joyce, running down the cor
ridor, stopped at her mothers
half-open door and looked in.
She saw q stranger.
She leaned there. fascinated,
her hlue ewes fixed, her dark
hair falling.
Elizabeth looked up, saw her.
Elizabeth stopped dancing.
She asked, with an effort, her
breath coming fast, "You want
ed me, dear?"
'No, +"
Joyce turned, in a sudden
hot embarrassment: fled down
! the hall. 1t was as if she had
seen her mother standing on

Through the Glass
There was a window seat at
the end of the hall. Joyce
clambered upon this, and louned
! through the wide sheet Of plate
, glass. She saw trees, lawn, a
! small, ornamental pool; she saw
! the. westering sun. Her chin in
! her hands she pondered on the
! revelation she had had Of her
! mother. For the first time she
considered her mother, gravely,
as a person. Hitherto, she had
taken her for granted; back
ground, merely, part Of her
! little world, not an important
! part. Now she saw, her altered,
| young, dancing, her lips con.

J There was resentment in the
child's heart. What right had
her mother to hide this playing
person from her? She felt, in
stinctively, with the worldless
insight of childhood, that the
woman with whom she had

called by the most intimate

complete stranger to her.

not take things too seriously,
and sometimes go out with
girls of your own age. If
you're twenty-five or more,
then six years makes less diff
ference. Nearly all boys be-
gin their romantic lives by fall
ing in love with older women.
These ladies have more poise,
know how to handle situations
better, and there is less strain
and embarrassment in being
with them than in being with
a young creature who is per-
haps as shy and tongue-tied as
the boy himself. Friendships
with older women are good
and help to. form character.
I'd just keep on being friendly
with this lady.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

There's been so much talk
about accessories for gray,
that we've decided to review
the matter. It is an opportune
moment to do so, as we have a
very lovely picture Of Q New
York actress, wearing gray,
with accessories that look un-
usually well. She follows one
of the three schools Of thought
on the subject. and it's hard to
tell which one is smartest
Hers is the gray with black
idea, and the other two well
accepted themes are gray with
darker gray, and gray with
brown.
Black Accessories
The girl in the photograph
is wearing q simple gray dress
Of rabbits hair wool, such as
we can get at any washington
store. Over that she has a
gray caracul jacket, just a
shade darker than the dress
It has an attractive rolled col
lar, buttons tight around the
hips, and has three-quarter
sleeves. Her hat Is q knitted
affair Of gray wool, matching
the dress as nearly as possible,
and there's o little black bow
on it, to remind you that her
other accessories are black, too.
Plain black pumps, gloves and
bag are best, as she needs no
elaboration except her scarf,
which is black and white with
Just a touch Of bright blue in
it for that added snap she
wants. I'm sure you'll agree
that she couldn't look much
better If she tried, and that
the costume is one that might
be very easily assembled.
Brown With Gray
When gray is worn with
brown, it is usually a costume
that is nearly all gray, with
accessories in brown. Perhaps
q gray dress and gray coat
with brown fur will be worn
with brown hat, shoes, bag and
gloves. You'll see some gray
dresses trimmed in brown, too,
which is q direct lead as to
what the accessories shah be.
The Paris way Is light and
dark gray combined, but that's
a little difficult here, as there
are so few gray accessories
available. Perhaps by spring
we will have them though, and
if gray is a popular color then,
we will be able to assemble it
in many ways.

Neither side was vulnerable,
but w had played in hard
luck, and they had been penal
lied for no faults of their own.
They felt that something un-
usual must be done to square
accounts, or they would come
out barely even in case they
won the rubber. When the
above hands appeared, con-
tracing went as follows: z,
Heart; A, 2-Clubs; Y, 2
Hearts; B, 3-Diamonds; z, g.
Spades; A, pass.
Most players in Y's position
would have jumped back to
hearts, knowing that suit must
be longer than spades, but Y
stopped to carefully consider.
The bidding had shown that z
held either six hearts and five
spades, or at least five hearts
and four spades. Presumably
any losers held in either suit
must be lost whether spades or
hearts became the trump.
With spades as trumps Y could
expect to obtain at least one
discard upon his partners long
heart or hearts, while there
probably would be no discard
in case hearts became trumpS.
On that account Y bid f.
Spades. B had to pass.
Y's reasoning was plain to z.
Either Y calculated upon OBJ
tanning a discard upon Hearts
held by the declarer, or Y held
enough Spades to afford the
declarer a discard. In either
event Spades would be better
for trumpS. It seemed unlikely
that Y had supported both suits
merely upon trump length. AS
z held the Ace Of Clubs it was
probable that Y held a diamond
trick, or a singleton in one Of
or minor suits. There was little
to risk and much to gain by
bidding 5-Spades, to discover If
Y held a trick of the major
suits. z bid 5-Spades and Y
responded with 6-Spades. B
doubled and play began.
Lacking the Ace of his own
suit, A led the top Of his part
ner's Diamonds. Dummy's Ace
won the trick. Three rounds of
Trumps exhausted spades from
both opponents, leaving one
Spade in dummy and one in the
declaring hand.
Five rounds Of Hearts fol-
lowed. Upon the fifth Heart
dummy discarded its last Dia-
mond. The nine tricks taken
by the declaring side has re-
duced holdings around the
board to the following: z, one
Trump; A, 5 Of Clubs, and one
low Diamond; A had just four
Clubs; dummy held one Trump
and his original three small
Clubs; B held one Club and
the K, Q, j of Diamonds.
There was no possible chance
of squeezing either A or B, as
each had only a simple suit to
guard. It is part of a players
business to know when he can
not hope to squeeze an extra
trick out of either opponent. z
wasted no time. He led his
last Diamond and ruffed it in
dummy. Then he spread his
hand saying: 'I get one Club
trick and one Trump trick. You
take the other trick. Give us
six-odd, doubled"
