WASHINGTON FASHIONS = By Wilma LoVhe

The crocheted blouse and the
smart little bag for which we
sent out directions, have been
such huge successes, that we
feel sure women are interested
in more things to make, so we
have obtained other pictures,
other directions for our read
ers. Dozens Of women have
already finished the sweater
and bag, and are working on
last weeks dolly. So now comes
another bit of wearing apparel,
a collar and cuff set. Every
bit of hand work you can put
on your clothes this year makes
them smarter, and every known
stitch may be used for bits of
trimming, such as collars and
cuffs.
An Easy Stitch
This particular set is made
with the simplest of stitches,
and is very easy to do. The
directions call for china silk
collar and cuffs, with mercer
lied cotton edge, but you could
easily convert it into direc-
tionS for wool or silk, and
could use linen or silk crepe
for the collar and cuffs. The
same edge may be used on
other things, too, on children'S
clothes, and on household arti-
cles, such as dresser Scarfs
and doilies. All such hand
made bits are fast coming back,
along with the revival of Vic
torian fashions in both cloth
ing and home furnishings.
A Christmas Gift
This year, when so many
Christmas gifts will be made
at home, and when they will
have added value because they
are in fashion, a collar-and-
cuff set such as this naturally
suggests itself as a gift. The
cost of making it is small, and
if you have never crocheted be.

one Of the instructors in down.

a direction sheet, which we will
be glad to send yoN.

Secrets Of Health
BY DR.. Louis A. Bisch
(FamOus Authority on Health and PsychOIogy)

and radium are what we must
still depend upon now. They
are the only cures to be relied
upon, and then only when
they are employed promptly.
Beware Strange Growths
1t must be emphasized that
cancer frequently starts from
apparently harmless growths,
which in the beginning are
not cancer at all. All manner
of Jumps in the skin may be
starting points. Moles and
birthmarks should always be
watched to see If they are
growing into cancerous tissue.
Persistent sore places on the
tongue or anywhere inside the
mouth should be held under
suspicion. Even ulcers of the
teeth may cause cancer trou.
BILE. Persistent pains IN the
stomach or joints should in
variably be investigated. Breast
cancer-a comparatively com
mon affection-may come from
chronic nipple irritations.
Whether or not cancer is
hereditary still remains a
moot question. So skilled a
surgeon as DR.. Charles Mayo
of the Rochester Clinic, has
made extensive experiments
on plants and animals and his
conclusion is that a direct
heredity factor in cancer does
exist. Some other scientists
dispute such findings.

Persuaded Her to Turn Over
Insurance Money
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I was a widow up to- a year
and a half ago. Against the
advice of my mother and two
daughters, ages Is and II,
married a man who though not
well educated seemed very kind
hearted to me. My first hus-
band had left me a life insur-
ance policy Of $4,000. This
my second husband got me to
make over to him, for some
business interests" which I've
never been able to understand,
nor have any evidence of their
existence.
He stays away from home a
good deal, claiming my mother
and daughters do not like him.
While this is true, they've never
been as rude to him as he is
to them What would you ad-
wise me. to do about this un-
fortunate marriage?
LUCY B.
Please let me implore you
with all the vehemence at my
command not to waste another
"a hours, but to see a lawyer
without delay and get an i'm
mediate accounting of your life
insurance money. And 1 only
hope it is not too late to get at
least part of it back. Don't
tell your husband you're going
to take this step, as he may
leave before he can make ex-
plantations. I hope you'll write
me aagin and tell me how things
have turned out.
A Mistake to Stand Beating
I am 19 and have been mar.
ried for three years. My hus-
band is 10 years older than
I am, and honestly I don't
know what's the matter with
him half the time. Some
times he is good to me and
again he is awful, even going
as far as beating me up. And
I don't know what can be
the matter with me for stand
ing this kind of treatment.
Time and again I have made
up my mind to leave him, but
have never been able to do so.

I am sick he is very good to
me. He has a very quick tenn

With the lash employed in
several States as a cure for
fe-beating, this particular
form of brutality to women
seems to be on the wane. AS
one judge has said. no man
whom he has ever sentenced to

second dose. In your place,
should apply to the courts to
have your husband bound over

not quite right mentally and
need a dose Of their own medi-

CHAPTER xxx

The last time she saw Basil
before she left town he an
nounced obstinately. "As soon
as can get away I'm coming
down and tell them we are to
be married in the autumn"
II forbid you!"
His face darkened.

In his anger he tried to per

Sleepiest sound in the world
She was free, she thought.
Free from the distracting, en-.
meshing influence Of sight and
sound and touch. She was

Little by little she did so,

Nothing i'm Common
They had, she thought. moth.
ing in common save the youth
and beauty.
She could not build a mar.
riage upon such a foundation.
II she could. she realized. she
would feel married now. It
would not take church and
music and the splendor of the
service to make. her feel that.
Nor would she deny him his
wish, she would have acceded
to it at once, would have felt,
as she did, that she must have
recognition Of their union, must
be bound by every tie.
It seemed to her extraordi-
narily weak and inconsistent
that, feeling as she did, she
could not bring herself to make
the definite break; to say the
word that would mean SO much
more than a refusal to marry
him, that would carry with it
an absolute severance. "It is
over and done with. I will not
marry you, I will not see you
again"
What, she wondered, had
brought about the whole situa.
ton? Not curiosity. never that,
but a complete surrender of her

Unity, an urgent demand to

When I make the statement
that cancer is really durable
do not intend to intimate that
any new discovery has been
made which will bring about
that result in short order.
Nevertheless, cancer can 'be
loked upon as a durable disease,
simply because its early treat
ment may be 100 per cent ef.
fective.
In other words, although
cancerous tissue. when it spreads
throughout the body, still kills
in large numbers, if people
would only discover soon enough
that they are suffering from
malignant tumors, the removal
of these would doubtless save
thousands of lives each year.
It has been estimated that
because of cancer some 1875. 900
individuals succumb each year
in the United States alone.
The actual cause of cancer
still battles the persistent re-
sarches which are being car.
ried on throughout the world.
Of late, however, doctors have
put more faith in special ef-
forts to educate the laymen
concerning this dread condition,
and to warn them that. with
our present comparatively
meager knowledge of the dis
ease, the only hope Of check
ing or curing cancer lies in
it's early recognition and
prompt removal.
Do Not Worry
People, however, should not
become unnecessarily alarmed.
It is unfortunate, but certainly
true that, if one stresses the
Importance of some particular
dread disease, and emphasizes
the beginning signs and symp-
toms, certain nervous and Sug-
gestible people always will start
to worry. They may even be-
come convinced that they &C.
tually have the disease in queS-
ton, even if they have not.
Yet health propaganda can
not and should not be side
tracked simply for fear Of alarm
ing the exceptional few. On
the contrary, such persons
should consult their family doc
tors when the, fear is upon
them, and find out definitely
whether or not their miSgiv-
ings are justifiable.
If only the average indi-
vidual would have himself
examined at regular intervals
say once a year-not only
would he prolong his own life,
but he would likewise be able
to discover a possible cancer
Gus growth in the making.
Thousands of lives would be
saved every. year if only peo-
pie could be made to realize
that the harmless mole, for
instance. which has lately be-
come enlarged, is really de-
veloping into cancer. But the
trouble is that we are mighty
careless about ourselves and,
even when we know we should
seek medical aid, we tend to
put it off and put it off until
the disorder in question is be-
yond remedial help.
A sure cure for cancer will
probably be discovered some
day. That time, however, is
not yet! Every now and again
one reads in the newspapers
that some new idea has been
brought out. even under scien-
tific auspices. which may prove
to be the long-awaited cure.

She sat with the letter in
her lap. Basil was head Of his
house now.
He was going away-for al
ways. This dreadful thing, this
tragedy, had had its lesser ef-
feet. Her hand was forced
now, in a way neither of them
had dreamed. Either she must
go with him, must follow him.
or she must say goodbye to
him for as long as they two
lived.
Never to see him again!
Never to watch his absorbed
face harden into those lines Of
beauty and rebellion, soften
into tenderness?
She wept, beating her hands
together. She saw a clouded
g.. a seaplane falling, twisting
like an autumn leaf-like a
leaf, reddening into flame.
She rose, went into the
house. 1t was, she saw, early
not yet half-after eleven. Pass
ing to her room she stopped
twice, once to Straighten a rug,
again to brush away with her
handkerchief some water spilled
from a vase upon a table. She
performed each trivial act Sc
riously, as if after deep
thought.
Upstairs, she changed her
frock, selected a small, close
hat, counted the money in her
purse, looked at a timetable.
There was no train until after
noon. She would drive up.
She paused. leaving the
room, to destroy the letter. 1t
was a gesture of habit, unmo-
tivated. She had forgotten
Louisa and her mother. She
was herself. She and Basil
were alone, in a world of Shad-
owS. She would see him again.
She would rest her eyes on his,
she would know, in that mo-
ment, what she must do.
Not At Home
Ten minutes later she drove
the car from the garage, down
the drive. She left no word
with the servants. Louisa and
Elizabeth were not in the house.
Had they been she would not
have remembered it.
She stopped once only, on
leavingI the village. There she
sent her wire to Basil. She
couldn't telephone him. She
couldn't hear his voice over a
wire, now.
She drove very carefully but
very fast, combining caution
with speed. The wind sang
past her. the long road un-
wound itself before the wheels,
a little cloud of amber-colored
dust followed her through the
villages, the country.
She was in the city within
two hours. She parked the
car, she rang his bell.
She got out of the lift and
went to his door. He drew her
into the room, too preoccupied
for greetings or caresses. She
saw, with a throb of tender
ness. that his eyes were red. as

Presents
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN::


I have a host of friends with
whom I have always exchanged
gifts at Christmas. This year
I cannot see my way clear to
continue this practice, yet I do
not know how to stop it.
Would you suggest my writ
ing a note to my friends, and
what shall I say? Or do you
think it would be better for me
to talk the matter over with
them? My friends are so much
more financially able than I
am that I know my inferiority
would pop" forward should l
find it necessary to talk the
matter over with them.
What would you suggest, Mrs
Beeckman? I shall do whatever
you think Is proper. S,
wouldn't at all recommend
that you talk this over with
your friends. It's a most awk.
ward ching to do. and Just can't
be done gracefully. This ques-
ton rises every year with many,
many people. And certainly it
will rise this year with many,
many more people. The only
thing to do is just not to send
presents. and your friends will
thoroughly understand.
Perhaps a good thing to do
is to write charming Christmas
notes to your friends. This
would be less sudden" than Just
sending Christmas cards, and in
the note you would make your
Christmas wishes and your
friends will enthusiastically vel
come this spiritual gift"

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
- Second Marriage.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

I have a girl friend who is to
be married for the second time.
She is divorced and has a small
child. She eloped when she was
quite young, so never had a real
wedding. Her fiance likewise
eloped. Now this is the ques-
ton: They want to know if
she can wear white wedding
dress and veil? They both feel
as though they missed such a
lot by not having a wedding.
and he just doSen't think it
would seem like wedding with
her not in white and a veil.
Please let us know if it is pos
sible for this, or does she have
to wear something else. R. e.
You make your plea for your
friend very appealing, and /
wish that I could say that she
would be allowed, by the rules
of etiquette, to wear the tradi
tional wedding white for her
welding, complete with veil"
But this really can't be done,
and shouldn't be done. The
traditional white wedding dress
and bridal veil are appropriate
only for the bride-for- -the-first-
time. And wearing this wedding
finery in this case, where there
is a child, would be especially
inappropriate. If this bride
wears the white wedding gown
and bridal veil she will lay her.

lovely clothes of this kind are
