An Unusual Romance Of

You're a peach!" Blonde
told Larry. bubbling over with
excitement.
She didn't have time to say
more as Lurline came in with
the hat and tur jacket Blonde
had so hurriedly discarded a
short time before.
Il know these will fit you,"
said Lurline. handing them to
Blonde
Thanks" said Blonde, too
excited to notice the look of
disapprovaI Oh Lu"line's face.
Larry quickly reached for the
coat, as Blonde pulled the hat
on and tucked in her abundant
hair. AS she slipped into the
jacket Larry held for her, she
said to Lurline:
Can I come around back of
the stage and see you after?"
Il hope you will" answered
Lurline, giving Larry a know
ing look.
We'll. let's get going" said
Larry, laughing at Lurline.
Must be going myself"

How do 1 look?" Blonde
whispered to Lurline as she

80 long" they all chorused,
but didn't wait for Lurline's
reply, even if she had any.
AS they reached the hall
Blonde ran ahead to ring for
the elevator.
"Cute!" said Larry, watching
her enthusiasm eagerly.
Yes" agreed Pratt. "You
did some good hunting"
Don't be silly" said Larry
in all seriousness. This will
be as refreshing as a Sunday
school outing"
When Blonde and Larry were
ushered nto their box at the
theater the curtain was already
up. Blonde stood staring at
the stage. wide-eyed and eager.

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

How many football or base
ball stars of other days have
you watched enter the fateful
period of middle age?
How many of them have kept
in good physical condition?
How many do you look at,
shake your head, and say, Gee!
that fellow was a perfect Speci.
men once!" With the emphasis
on the "once."
1t is much more difficult for
the athlete to keep himself in
condition than 1t is for the ordi-
nary young man who has not
developed any especial proweSS.
1t apears to be a rule of nature
that if cell or a group of cells,
especially a group of muscle
cells, has been trained to a fine
hair point, they become flabby
and lose their edge a good deal
faster than cells and muscles
which have been called upon to
do only ordinary work.
The heart is a muscle. In
an athlete, especially one whose
specially calls for endurance,
such as distance runners or
football players, the heart de-
velops like all other body
muscles. 1t acquires an enor-
nous reserve capacity. When
the days of exercise and train
ing are over, when the athlete
gets an indoor job, and sits
around all day, that reserve ca
pacity rapidly diminisheS. The
heart muscles which were once
so lean, tend to be replaced
with fat.
The other cells Of the body
go through the same process.
Fat accumulates very rapidly in
such a body. So in the course
of time we have the anomaly
Of a heart whose reserve is
getting lower and lower, while

very reasonable. There are also
good sports tWeeds, but the
polo coat, or a version of it, is
still the favorite among the
girls who can't have fur coat.
A warm coat without fur is all
right, but one with fur is more
wintry, and yAu have the ad-
vantage of it's extra warmth
for football games, and other
cold winter sports.
Natural CamePS Hair
"Classmate" is the name of
the coat we've skctched. 1t is
of 100 per cent camels hair,
in natural shade, and has a
generous puff collar of raccoon
of a good, long-haired quality.
1t has slim lines, broken by the
belt; big buttons and roomy
pockets. 1t is silk crepe lined
and comes in all junior sizes,
IL to II, and misses sizes, ID
to 20. It's price is $29.75 in a

The Beauty
Box

Lean, lank ladies should not
wear lean, lank frocks. Those
who see with the mind as
we'll as the eye don't trip into
that error. A robe, if it full
fills it's destiny, is flattering,
conceals figure defects, dis
plays the best lines. Many a
dressmaker has become rich
and famous because she un-
derstands the trick of making
poor figure look like a good
one. No cross lines on the
draperies of plumptitudinous
darlingS, no up-and-down lines
on tall, skinny ones. No waist
line belts on bulky shapes.
The sartorial genius doesn't
plan youthful attire for middle
aged women, but gives them
dignified raiment bearing a
suggestion of youth.
Old white kid gloves can be
used on finger nail buffers, the
covering of which should be
changed now and then if they
are not to disgrace the beauty
kit. Conservative femmes, fed
up with CORY finger nails or
shells of green or purple, find
pleasure in using polishes that
came in cake or powder form.
They don't scale off in spots.

Do You Know
That---

Every girl should be a water
baby, drinking six or eight
glasses a day. Through its re-
freshing qualities water helps
to build energy. Lack of Suf-
cient water has a bad effect
upon the circulatory system,
chang lg the properties of the
blood. The tissues of the Iace
are partly water; they neei it
to function properly and to
keep from sinking into a state
of t~-eleSsneSS and instability.
The morning facial tubing of
cold water plants roses in the
cheeks and hardenS the muscles.
So be a beauty wet and reap
the rich rewards of a cosmetic
that doesn't cost a cent and
wor':j like magic.
ToothbruSheS which are not
cleansed properly and daily may
become infected. When
toothbrush becomes old or the
bristles soft, it should be re-
placed by a new one, for the
gums need strong massage to
be kept in a healthy state.
All books in favor of war
have been abolished from school
libraries in Austria.

Latest Fashion
Flashes

Welcome home to fringe
which is being used again by
some of the leading houses for
evening frocks. An evening
frock of white crepe roma has
a scarf of fringe that can be
worn in spiral effect, reaching
from shoulder to hem. The
fringes are heavy strands of
red, white and blue silk.
Quite correct is printed chit.
fon even if some women have
declared themselves against
prints for evening. A pretty
evening frock is of black chiffon
with a small florial print in
green, white and red. Wide
shirrings give the waiStline a
wide belted look and the frock
has a tiny veStee of Alenoon
lace.
A new finish to- the colorless
neckline is made by using neck
laceS. Thus the neckline of a
black coat was completed by
a necklace of heavy ivory rings
strung on a coarse black silk
cord. A beige frock is finished
by strand of bronze medal
lions on a black cord.
You may wash some of the
new evening frocks since the
linen frock has become the
thing. A new frock is made of
white linen plaided in pink,
blue, lavender and green. 1t has
harness back and a sash Of
linen ribbons in the various
ColorS of the plaid. The skirt is
long and full.
Seeing black these nights is
a frequent happening. since so
many women are wearing
frocks of coarse black silk net.
This cool fabric is used for a
lovely frock with bands of jet
outlining the rounded neckline,
and marking the hipline. The
skirt is pleated.

Card Sense

z made an opening bid of
One Club. A overcalled with
One Spade. Y bid Two Clubs.
2 showed that he held a
good suit of more than four
cards, by bidding Three Clubs.
Feeling certain of defeating a
higher Club bid than four, A
bid Three Hearts. Y overbid
his values by half a trick
when he vent Four Clubs.
z bid his full values by going
Five Clubs. A doubled.
The opening lead was the
King of Hearts. The moment
Dummy was boarded, 2 saw
that his work was cut out
for him. Evidently A held
what he considered one Heart
trick, one certain trick in
spades. with chances for max
ing second trick in that
suit, and almost certainly A
held the missing King of
Clubs.
The Declarer knew that he
must go down on his contract,
unless he could oblige A to
lead Spades, SO that only one
Spade trick and one Club trick
need be lost The first thing
was to play along and dis
cover the card distributions.
Dummy's Ace won the first
trick. z ruffed a heart led
from Dummy. He led a low
Diamond. Dummy won the
trick, and z trumped a third
lead of Hearts. rs King of
Diamonds was led, then Dunn
my trumped a third lead of
that suit. z noted that A
held three Diamonds. Dummys
last Heart was led. B fol
lowed suit, showing that A had
bid Three Hearts upon a suit
of only four cards. Surely
A held the missing King of
Clubs guarded, and only four
Spades. z ruffed the Heart,
leaving A with no more hearts.
Now was the time to put the
acid test to deductions, so the
declarer won his eighth
straight trick by laying down
his Ace of Clubs. Noting that
B played the 8 and B the 2. z
led his Q of Clubs. z played his
last trump, but A was in the
lead with the K, and BIS last
trump fell.
When A won the first trick
for his side the cards about
the table were as follows, just

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

There is no greater irony in
the whole reptilian realm than
what happens to the mighty py-
thon after it has made a kill.
1t becomes as inert as the
creature it has swallowed, and
is practically helpless. Captur.
ing a python after it has eaten
greatly simplifies the task of
the collector. In my own case
I don't mind saying that I
have no objection to my work
being made easier. Unless there
is no way of avoiding it I can
not see the sense of attempting
the dangerous task of landing
a big python when it is in full
possession Of its faculties. There
is nothing to be gained by tam.
pering with coiled lightning.
Nothing stranger has ever
been seen in the streets of
Thaton-a city that has had
its quota of bizarre sights

below him, when Larry and

and Lurline'S voice was as hard
as her look at Blonde.
"Oh, I get you. Il would
put my foot in it," Blonde
smilingly confessed. Lurline was
almost sure she saw Blonde
give Larry little nudge.
"Well-well-Well!' Lurline
said, and then beaming at
Pratt, Don't YOU think she's
terribly naive?"
I'm what?"
Not unattractive!" replied
Pratt, looking at Blonde with
his usual validating gaze.
Were you kidding about the
Follies?" Blonde asked Larry.

Blonde added threateningly. :.

She Has His Pin
Dear Miss Fairfax:

young man for several months

me to wear a pin that belonged

on me and I have not heard
from him since. I would like

not know his present address.
I would appreciate any Sug-
