The Beauty
Box

With bodices getting more
seams in them the feminine
shape must be elegant, not a
Slinpy figurette. Whereas a
few years ago the girls were all
de-buSting themselves, strap
ping upper stories into tight
brassiere, there is now an ef-
fort being made toward grow
ing boSoms. What to do?
Swinging Indian clubs will
bring results, but lazy girls
won't do that. Gentle mas
sage at night with lanolin or
cocoabutter is recommended.
Also alcohol rubS and cold
showers. Hands mustn't be
chilled; water directly from
the cold-water tap must be
sprayed upon the chest.
Germs that cause skin erup-
tions may lurk elsewhere in the
body-in the tonSilS, intestinal
tract or inflamed gums. That
is why, when treatments fail
to overcome a chronic case Of
acne the family doc should
make a thorough physical ex.
animation. Skin specialists EN-
ploy serums and lights, often
with success when the infec-
ton is a local issue.

Advice to the LoveIorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax

I was 18 years old, and was just
going into my second year at
college, my father married girl
one year younger than I. Com
ing home from school every eve
ming, instead Of living at the
school, / fell in love with my
Stepmother, who is very beauti-
full. When I reached 20 my
father died and left us quite a
bit Of money, so I completed
college. -.....:.
We have been living together
as stepmother and stepson now
for two years, without my
father, and I know she loves me
as sweetheart, and I love her
the same way. It seems awk-
ward whenever I introduce her
to my friends as my step

To use a much-abused Victor

me as "unwholesome." You do

Fashion Fads and

The famous milliner, Agnes,

by much velvet, and some novel

right or left, and is worked

fur encircling the entire hat.
Agnes is inSiStent that the hair
should show at one side.
Marcelle Lely, another splen-
did milliner, is making a great
point Of new square pressed
draped crown, in both velvet
and felt, which are her favored
materials. These hats usually
have a narrow brim, sometimes
all around, and again only in
front, like a cap, but rolled up
instead Of down. Sports hats
are largely made Of stitched
feltS and stitched woolen mate

An emergency may occur az
any time where hemorrhage
must be checked promptly in
order to save life. BY hem
orrhage I mean an escape Of
blood from the blood vessels,
no maCCer what part Of the
body 1t escapes from or how
severe the bleeding may be.
It is always well to distin-
guiSh at once whether the blood
flow is from an artery or from
a vein. Blood from an artey
is Enthusiastically of a bright
red color and Spurts in unison
with the heart beats. Blood
coming from a vein is dark or
BLUSH in color, and its flow
is steady and uninterrupted.
It doesn't spurt. If q small
veSsel-what doctors call q
capillary-is wounded or cut,
it may be difficult to deter
mine whether the blood is Of
arterial or venouS origin. In
these cases, however, the dis
tinction Is not so essential,
because the flow is of an ooz-
ing character and is very
readily controlled by direct
compression.
But when the hemmorrhage
is from a larger vessel and
this happens to be an artery,
pressure should always be eX-
ercised at some point between
the cut vessel and the heart,
because the blood in an artery
flows from the heart and in
the direction Of the wound. BY
pressing above the artery and
toward the heart, therefore,
the flow Of blood is stopped
from. entering the wound and
escaping.
The reverse. process, Of
course, Is to be resorted to
when there Is venous hem
orrhage, for the blood in the
veins is flowing toward the
heart, therefore pressure should
be used at q point near the
wound, but away from the
heart. -,
When doubt exists and the
hemorrhage Is severe it is al
ways the safest plan to exert
pressure both. above and be.

jured part, then twisting the
band tightly with piece of
wood or some other convenient
object.
It must be borne in mind
that as soon as any blood YES
sci has been injured, the body
Immediately tries to repair the
damage done. If it be an art
cry, the muscular walls con-
tract, thereby making the open
ing through which the blood
Spurts smaller. When it is
vein that requires repair, the
thin walls collapse so as to
obstruct the flow of blood as
much as possible. After that,
in any hemmorrage, severe or
small, nature tries at once to
form a clot to act as a kind of
stopper to the wound. Ma
turally, when blood flows pro-
fusely the opportunity to form
a clot is not favorable. BY
stopping the flow of blood,
therefore, we are helping to
give nature chance to do its
repair work quickly.
Every person should really
become used to seeing blood.
This does not mean that one
should deliberately seek out
accidents, in order to steel
ones self to upsetting sights.
. On the other hand. to be
squeamiSh about the sight of
blood usually means that we
are not used to seeing it and
often indicates, in addition,
that we are afraid that the
flow of blood may have dis
.astrouS consequences. AS a
matter of fact, for a wound to
bleed for a little While-pro-
yided it is not too severe-is
really a good thing, for this
helps to clean the wound and
prevent infection.
It goes without saying, Of
course, that every wound
should be kept as clean as
poe-ibIe, because germs are
everywhere. Washing a wound
with sterile water is desirable,
but not always possible. At
any rate, after emergency steps
have been taken to control the
hemorrhage and the patient
has been removed to a suitable
place, it is best, when posi-
BILE, to remove the bandages
and to employ proper antiseptic
solutions and sterile gauze.

Provided each player bids just

the above hand will 60 as in
dicated below.
Glancing over their respective
holdings, the various players
found they held the following
quick tricks: z, IN; A, 2: Y, 3;
B, /. The total quick tricks
held by the four players was
71a, which was just the average
number. In these diagrams, z
always is the dealer, following
the old English custom. Ordi-
narily 212 quick tricks is re-

ing that z would bid If he held
anything of value. Note that
Y did not count 11a probable
tricks for his Ace Of Diamonds.
It held doubtful promotion
power, as he held only two
cards Of the suit.
B had to pass, but z shifted
into 2-Hearts, as it Is not Gus

Spades, having a total of 3A
probable supporting tricks. Y
ended the auction with 4 Spades.
While the joint holdings of
declarer and dummy total 1914
tricks, they can win only ten
tricks. Trick counting beyond
ten is uncertain, but up to that
number of tricks what should
be won ordinarily may be deter
mined with surprising accuracy.
A and B jointly hold just 3
quick tricks, and they must win
two club tricks and one heart
trick. To win the ten tricks
that should come to him the
declarer has to play his cards
with care. Ordinarily players
Of small experience lose one
or more tricks through poor
strategy.
AS played, B led his K Of
clubs. and held the first trick.
A gave his partner a come

down dummy'S chances to. ruff

Dummy's 9 held the trick,
which was Of no consequence,
and dummy'S K Of hearts was
led. AS Ace took the trick,
but that player had no more
trumps to lead back, so he led
a small club, which B won with
his @, and B led his 8 Of
spades. The declarer won the
trick. Not needing to trump
clubs in dummy, as now the de-
clarer could discard both his
losing clubs upon two good
hearts in dummy, the declarer
took another round Of trumpS,
picking up all the trumps out
side his hand. He won a dia.
mond trick with dummy's K,
led the two high hearts from
dummy, and spread his hand,
claiming the balance Of tricks.
Had the declarer pulled trumps
before leading hearts, he could
not have gone game, as he
must then have lost four club
tricks and one heart trick.
