The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS

BY ALINE MICHAELIS
The Magician
Dark days and drear days,
And days too dull to name;
Long days and slow days,
And many days the same.
Till there comes beaming
A day made all of gold,
Brimming with beauty,
More joys than the hours can
hold.
Shining like stars shine
Against the deepS of night,
Hiding the dark days
Behind its lovely light.
How does it happen,
This miracle so strange?
What is the reason
A day can bring such change?
Only when love cores
Are days transmitted so;
Love, the magician,
Who sets the days agiow!

She left the room, went to

indecisive, her face paling. She
bit her under lip, took a step
toward the door, waited, and
then, drawing a deep breath,
walked out and to her room.

she found Elizabeth waiting.

B to put up his Ace to win the

led. All that the defenders
won were the two tricks taken
with the two minor Aces. BIS
Ace of hearts went to sleep,
because he failed to lead it
when in with his Ace of clubs.
He might have seen that he
never again would gain entry,
as dummy's clubs and spades
must afford the declarer ample
discards to rid himself of any
hearts held.
Could go Game"
Neither side was vulnerable.
OF course it did not occur to
B that his opponents possibly
could go game, and they could
not have done so without the
aid of B. That player could
have made five-odd at hearts,
provided his opponents helped
him as he had helped them.
With normal play B should
make four-odd at hearts. He
must lose one spade trick, one
club trick and one heart trick
or one diamond trick, accord
ing to the way the defenders
happen to play their cards. It
would require great ingenuity
on the part Of his opponents to
give B five odd, but perhaps no
greater philanthrophy than B
displayed when he refused to
put up his Ace of hearts, to
win the one trick required to
defeat the doubled contract.
The loss of points is very
great to side able to go game,
when their opponents oVerbid
to save game and are penalied
only a single trick. Even when
the overbidders are vulnerable,
collecting 200 points from an
adversary going down single
trick is poor compensation for
having to lose a certain game.
In some countries the first trick
down is heavily penalized as a
sop to the side that could have
gone game.

1t is not only that sweaters are in
smart fashion, but the sweater dress
or costume seems to be taking prec-
edent over most every other type
for practical daytime wear. We
were almost going to say that one
needs dozens Of sweaters and skirt
outfits to keep pace with the mode
well, anyway, the well-equipped
wardrobe should at least include
several. Sweaters of the now have
taken on a decided blouse-like char
acter and are as fanciful as one
may desire. The first model pic
tured is one of those sweaters which
look like a blouse. 1t is as sheer
and filmy as a dainty lingerie
blouse, being knit Of delicate
zephyr in a very lacy openwOrk
stitch. The frill and jabot effect
adds to its dressiness. Worn with
a white flannel or novelty wooden
skirt, or a pastel shade with the
skirt identical in color, this two
piece represents a leading fashion.
The sweater centered in the group
stresses the idea Of stripes, for
striped effects are going strong in
the sports realm this season. The
last sweater adopts the very popu-
lar tie-tO-one-side movement and
suggests somewhat Of surplice
contour.

Many children come to hate tooth
brushing because they dislike the
taste of a certain toothpaste. The
American Mouth Health Associa-

bare brush for awhile, then trying
some mildly favored toothpaste
and, if the child dislikes it, stopping
the use of that at once and trying
another brand. Never leave the

cling to them after candyor sweet

THAT a costume can be success
= full and outstanding only in so
far as 1t is underwritten with acces-
series which are pre-eminently cor
rect and attractive is a lesson
which is being instilled into the
minds of the present generation
with ever increasing emphasis.
This sensitiveness to perfection
down to the minutest detail Of the
costume is becoming more acute
among the fair sex with each pass
ing year. Especially is the call for
that which is beautiful and chic
heard in the realm of modern foot
wear. Full well does every style
minded woman of today realize that
shoes are far more than a mere COW
ering for the feet.
AS every woman knows there is
no media for dainty shoes which
so convincingly carries an air of
refinement as soft, exquisite kid.
Brown-trimmed white kid shoes
are particularly good style. The
young woman in the picture who is
gazing so admiringly at her smartly
shod feet has subscribed to the
brown-andwhite vogue. Her dress
Is a two-piece brown-and-white cot
ton mesh. 1t is everything it should
be to qualify as supremely modish.
Her swanky white kid pumps are
trimmed in two tones of brown.

FEATURES of INTEREST to WOMEN
MAKE ONE DRESS
DO WORK OF FOUR
Highly Important Now to Buy
Practical Clothes.

The girl who has to dress well on
q limited budget should embrace
this seasons styles with open arms
for there are more ways of making
one dress do the work of four this
year than ever before
Addition or subtraction of a jack
ct, substituting sweater for a
blouse, changing scarfs and belts
presto-change-o-a new costume!
1t is highly important just now
to buy practical clothes.
You should consider just how
many ways you can wear each cos
tune, and govern your choice &C.
cordingly.
For besides being thrifty, it's fun
to see how different you can make
one simple frock look by changing
gadgets.
And the new accessories such as
Jackets, gilets and so on can be add
ed to last years dresses to make
them look like 1882 models.
A plain navy blue or black crepe
frock may be completely trans
formed by the addition Of a little
tie-on waistline jacket Of printed
silk. Or you may prefer the sleeve
less printed gilet which slips on
over the head, bib fashion.
Any little tailored dress left over
from last year may be miraculously
transformed by adding a bow Of
crisp striped taffeta.
You may make a few cape-collars
which slip on over the head, in varl-
Gus pastel tints, with belts to match,
and wear them with plain navy or
black crepe frock with striking eff
feet.

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
Building Good Teeth

Teeth, very much like humans,
need food, exercise and cleaning in
order to grow properly.
Good teeth, like anything else,
cannot be built from poor materials.
When the teeth first begin to grow
inside the tiny jaws, which is about
five months before birth, the ex-
pectant mother can puild them of
strong material and give them a
good start in life by including plen-
ty of milk, fruits, and vegetables
the BODYBUILDING foods, in her diet.
It is during the preschool years,
while the child is going through the
baby tooth" stage, that what he
himself eats has the most influence
on his teeth. It is then that the
permanent teeth are growing in
side the jaws, although they do not
begin to appear until the child is
about six years old. Teeth are
made up mainly of lime salts, and
scientists have found milk an ex-
cellent source of lime. Dentists
recommended between pint and a
quart a day for all children who
can drink milk. Children who
merely dislike milk can often be ac-
customed to it by fiavoring it slight
ly with chocolate, vanilla, or what
ever appeals to them.
Malputrition and ricketts, cause
poor jaw development, which, in
turn, crowds the teeth or causes
them to come in crooked. Give
every child plenty of leafy vegetable
and whole-grain cereals, plenty of
rest and sunshine, and in the whit
err months, a teaspoonful (more for
an oil der child) of cod-liver oil
daily. Sunshine, and its winter sub
stitute, cod-liver oil, are important
sources of teh BODYBUILDING vita
min D.
If the teeth do come in crooked,
take the child to an orthodontist at
once. This is the branch of den
tistry which actually corrects and
changes theg rowth of the teeth
and jaws, and the earlier such
treatment is begun, the easier it
will be and the less time it will
take to obtain results. If the baby
teeth are shed too early, or if ca
vities in the baby teeth are not
promptly filled, an important grow
ing force is lost.
The permanent teeth begin ap-
pearing around the sixth birthday.
Baby teeth look like small images

sympathy to the point that will
bring a lump into your throat and
tears to your eyes.
Briefly, it tells a story of two
families. The fathers are engaged
in a fued over supremacy in the
bootlegging racket. Their practices
in attempting to secure control are
anything but ethical. AS a result,
their families live in a constant
reign of terror. Their life is I'M
bearable. When the son of one fam
lily falls in love with the daughter
of the other, the situation becomes
crucial and the consequences in
volve those concerned in a really
vital drama.
