Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

By LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. ID
SWIMMING is for many rea-
sons one of the best exercises
known. 1t is especially good
for weak and underdeveloped
people because the buoyancy
of the water supports the
limbs and allows free move
ments in all directions. Thus
muscles can be trained in any
desired manner, and muscles
which are not used in ordi-
nary move ments can be
brought into play in the water
and developed.
Governor Roosevelt's much.
described and photographed
swimming exercises at Warm
Springs, Ga, this spring indi-
cate its usefulness in giving
exercise to a victim of infan-
tile paralysis.
Nothing is so deceptive as
exercise in the water. The
sense of lightness due to the
huoyancy of the water, just
mentioned, makes the swim.
mer feel that little effort is
being exerted. Hence a person
may stay in the water swim
ming or diving for hours with
out feeling much fatigue and
be surprised after the swim is
all over to feel more tired
than when apparently much
more strenuous exercise has
been taken.
There is a danger in this fea-
ture when invalids or .underde-
veloped children are swimming
to regain strength or to aid
conValescence. They may very
easily overdo and find them
selves worse off than before.
Strict attention should be kept
on the time such individuals
are in the water, and no mat
ter how we'll or how fresh
they feel, they should be
warned to deSist when the time
limit is up.
Gymnastics in the water for
crippled or paralyzed patients
is one of the best forms of
treatment. The use of water
gymnastics for children with
infantile paralysis in order to
restore the affected muscles, is
one of the best methods we
have.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. How should three unmar-
ried couples be seated (no host
or hostess) at an oblong table
seating only one person at the
ends? I have always under.
stood that the lady sits at her
gentleman's right. If this is
done, lady would be seated at
one end of the table. wouldn't
it be better form for this lady
to give this seat to her escort
and sit at his left?
2. When there are more than
three couples. how should the
seating take place?
3. When two couples are be-
ing seated at a square table and
there is chair at all sides. do
the ladies sit opposite each
other? DOUBTFUL.
i. Isn't your difficulty about
the seating your overemphaSis
of seating a certain man next
to a certain woman? At
small dinner of six, or eight,
the conversation is general, and
at dinners there is never the
idea of partners" as there is
to, say, a dance. AS a matter
of fact, usually it is more con-
ducive to general conversation
if certain woman and a Ger.
tain man" do not sit next to
each other!.
Therefore, usually at a din
ner for six, a woman is seated
at one end of the oblong
table, and man at the other
end. At each side of the
woman is a man, and at each
side Of the man is a woman.
Since. in the party you name,
there Is to be no hostess or
host, there is no reason for
maintaining the "honor guest
at the right of the hostess and
host"
2. At the dinner for eight,
served at an oblong table,
there is either a woman at
each end or a man at each
end. .as you wish to arrange
it.
For both arrangements Of
the seating, the emphasis,
then, is not on partners"
either sitting next to each
other or on certain sides. but
on the general congeniality.
3, Yes.

The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIs

49,. A Dreamer's House
He dwells within a little house
Beside busy road,
Where, though men hasten up
and down,
None sees his true abode. .
For all the rowing passers-by
View shutters, roof and wall
With careful or with casual
look,
Yet never know at all
The dweller there has spacious
rooms,
And from their easements wide
He looks upon a splendid world
To lesser eyes denied.
He sees a world all fair and
bright
With truth and tenderness,
A sphere where noble beings go
In honor's shining dress.
The passers view the little house
With pity or disdain;
They can not guess the dweller
there
Sees life without a stain.

WASH H4|NGTON FASHIONS

Perhaps the reason tennis
dresses aren't as popular as
they used to be is that they
can't be worn on the street.
Everyone loves them, with their
freedom of movement, their
comfortable sleevelessness, and
their lack of fussy detail to
make them hard to wear or
keep fresh. But, after all, they
are just a sleeveless dress, and
good only for active sports or
for wearing at home. Some of
them have had Jackets, but
usually the fabrics tennis dresses
are made of aren't so attractive
in Jackets, so they just haven't
progressed very far.
For Town Too
But this year there's a new
type jacket appearing on tennis
: frocks, and because both jac--
ket and fabric have a streety
look, you won't mind going
right off the court to town,
with just a change of shoes,
and putting on a hat. Think
how convenient for girls who
work and want to play tennis
afterward. The jacket is the
shortrSleeved bolero you see so
much or the capelet type, either
equally attractive, and the frock
and jacket are made of chalk
crepe, the seasons most popular
fabric for spectator sports
clothes, good on the street, and
wear, as it launders beautifully.
Bows on Dress
Both frock and jacket
sketched are of white chalk
crepe, the dress cut low in the
back, and squared in front. The
dress has bows where the straps
end in front, and when you put
the little cape-sleeved jacket on,
the bows pull through Sits, and
decorate the jacket. There is
a plain stitched belt. This
dress, capelet and all, is only
$12.95, and it is beautifully
made, and of good quality.

2 made an opening bid Of
One Spade. Y jumped the bid
to Five Spades. upon seven
probable tricks. Having six
probable tricks in his own hand,
2 ventured bidding Six Spades,
although he knew that trick
counting beyond 10 is uncer-
tain.
The opening lead was the
Queen of Hearts. Dummy's Ace
won the trick. AS you do not
echo with two cards upon a
Queen lead, BIS play of the 2
gave z no information. Dummy's
King of Spades won the second
trick. Even if z had intended
taking a fineSSe he would have
lost one trump trick, but 2 had
from the first intended to 60
for the drop, with four trumps
missing. Dummy's 3 of Spades
was led, covered with BIS 10,
and won by the Ace; A discard.
ed the 6 of Hearts.
Things looked a bit blue for
the declarer. He must lose one
trump trick, and he had to lose
one heart trick, apparently.
There was just one chance that
z might not have to lose a
heart trick. Suppose that B
happened to hold only two
hearts? z saw the point and
he played for that one chance
to fulfill his small slam con-
tract.
z started his campaign, by
laying down his Ace of Dia-
monds. to note what fell. A
played the 2 and B played the
6. Those were the two lowest
cards missing from the suit,
and so far all looked we'll. Then
z switched to clubs, winning
the first two tricks with dunn
my's Ace and K. Then dummy's
9 of clubs was led. If B
trumped that third lead, 2 was
ready to discard his losing
heart. When B followed suit on
the third club led, z trumped
BIS @ of clubs.
The eighth trick went to
dummy's K. of diamonds, and
the ninth trick was won with
the declarer's @. of diamonds.
B played the 9 on the third
diamond trick, and AS j. fell,
marking the missing 9 as be-
ing still held by B. So far B
had shown three spades, at
least three clubs. and four
diamonds. B still held one
spade and one diamond. The
question was how many clubs
and Eearts still remained
among the four unplayed cards
held by B.
z led his K of Hearts, and
B played the 9. Now the de
clarer could read that B held
no more hearts. and that he
held one club. The hearts could
be counted in this way: A had
led the @; he had discarded
the 6 of Hearts upon the lead
of dummy's of Spades; he
had played the 8 upon the lead
of rs K of Hearts. A could not
possibly have made an opening
lead of the @. from Q-10-8-6; A
still must hold the missing j.
Therefore B held one Spade,
one Club and one Diamond, as
his last three cards, assuring
fulfillment Of the contract.
z led a Spade, and it made
no difference to z whether B
led back his club or his Dia-
mond. In either case the de-
clarer could trump the trick IN
dummy, and z could discard,
winning the last trick with his
good trump.

CANADIAN DOLLAR
 AGAIN APPRECIATES

Hopes of local dealers that the Canadian dollar would con- tinue to maintain its recent po- sition of close parity with the American dollar were rudely shattered Monday when De- minion currency dropped sud- denly to S8H cents in New York following a series of fractional declines.
 Prospects of impending con- trolled imitation of Canadian currency Is ascribed as a fact or in the decline by Canadian newspapers. Canada is said to be contemplating an increase in her monetary circulation by $35, 100000 through bank bor- rowing, with a view to lower ing interest rates, increasing the quantity of available mon- ey, and stimulating industry.
