SHOPP|NG--Wth Alice and Evelyn
For Tucked Dresses

Modern women won't put UP
with a lot Of fuss and feathers.
Look what happened to the
plumed Eugene hats!
This spring, smart dresses
are anything but ostentatious.
Nevertheless, they're extremely
interesting by very subtle means.
How much greater an achieve
ment to design dress with in
genious details, that are simple
in effect, than a dress which
has to count on lavish trim
ming to be interesting!
Tucks Go Places and Do Things
One of the cleverest details
that gives charm to the new
dresses is tucking, and it's amaz-
ing in how many widths and
ways tuckS are being used! Pin
tucks and wider tuckS, novel
and inverted tuckS, running
croSSwiSe, on the bias and into
odd ShapeS!. But no matter
what they're like or what they
do, they never seem to detract
from the simplicity of the dress.
Each of the three attractive
dresses, illustrated up above are
quite unlike in style and each
has different tucking! What
workmanShip'S involved. Yet
any one of them may be bought
for under $50! And they're all
three made of canton crepe.
TuckS on the Bias
The dress on the left has
rows of diagonal pin tucks in
the bodice that accentuate the
wrap around line. Accentuates
it all the way around the back,
right till it all comes to an end
under the white pique flower at
the side. Pin tucks also swirl
diagonally around the moder-
ately bell-Shaped sleeves. And
then they stress the StraightnesS
of the skirt by running verti-
cally. But at the hips Slighly
wider tuckS are used to make a
yoke effect in Slenderizing rows.
Up and Down and Across
It's very smart the way quar-
ter-inch tuckS cover the entire
dress part Of the center model
illustrated! In the contrasting
top these tuckS run horizontally,
except for the band that edges the
neck, and also where they run
down the raglan shoulders and
into the sleeves. Then in the
skirt section, as you see, these
tuckS run up and down.
The tailored looking buckle
of the self-belt is a triangular
single line of closely studded
rhinestones with the long prong
dividing it in two. And to go
back to the contrasting top of
the dress-it's made Of triple
sheer crepe and comes in white
with black or navy blue, or
shell pink with navy. And
don't you love the way it's in
serted in a sort Of pyramid
blocked fashion?
The full bloused sleeves ef-
fectively show below the shorter
sleeves of the jacket. And this
little jacket is fitted very

Laughter? Well, without it
Earth indeed would be

How its echoes quicken thoughts
Full of cheer and hope!

Lovely cadences. Of mirth,

Your Health
And Proper
Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

By LOGAN CLENDENTNG, M. d
After an engineer calculates
the weights that a bridge must
support he does not install
beams of just exactly that
strength when he begins to
build a bridge. He installS
beams from 10 to 20 times
stronger than his higf est esti-
mates call for in order to have
a good margin of safety for his
structure.
What kind of a bridge, or
machine, or boiler, is the hui
man body? Have its functions
been calculated on SO narrow
a basis that the slightest extra
strain throws the whole fabric
into confusion?
Many people seem to fear
so. They write men wondering
what will happen if they eat
fish and ice cream 1T the same
time. I have even heard of
club where the directors have
paternalistically passed a house
rule that no member shall be
served a meal which has fish
and ice cream on the menu to-
gether.
Then there are those who are
afraid that they will do some
thing which will lower or raise
their blood pressure so much
that some calamity will follow.
And so ingrained are certain
beliefs that I am almost afraid
to mention the possibility Of
taking a bath after a meal or
drinking ice water after exer-
else.
For all such, indeed for all
of us, there is great comfort in
the words @ DR.. Walter B. Can
non, of Harvard, in a volume
called, "The Wisdom of the
Body"
He points out the width of
the margin of safety for many
processes of the body. For in
stance, the normal systolic
blood pressure is 100-120 milli-
meters of mercury, but it may
drop to 70-80 ii. e., about a
third before reaching the criti-
cal level at which the volume
flow in the tissues becomes in
sufficient. The quick restora-
ton of normal blood pressure
after a hemorrhage which with
draws as much as 80 to 40 per
cent of the blood volume, shows
the splendid organization of the
circulatory system for safety.

Flashes

In the moonlight there is a
certain shade of pink that looks
almost white. This shade in
satin is being worn down South
for al fresco affairs. A lovely
model in this shade has a triple
halter decolletage, all three
straps being of rhinestones, as
in the neckline that holds the
back straps.
The hour means nothing to
the jacket costume that is so
liked for late afternoon and
evening affairs. A charming
new jacket ensemble is of black
crepe, the sleeves being en-
broidered in Russian motifs in
rose, scarlet, yellow and silver
threads. The frock has a girdle
of silver discs and a high
wasted, finely pleated skirt.
The short jacket has q silver

He Seems To Be Bored

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am 18 and considered
popular. For the last few
weeks boy for whom I care
a great deal has been coming
around to my home every eve
ming, usually bringing another
boy with him. He acts very
bored, but his friend says that
is just his way. He has never
offered to take me any place,
even to the movies. I have
other invitations, but usually
refuse them because I am al
ways afraid that 1 will lose a
chance with this boy, and al
ways hoping that he will begin
to show that he cares for me.
What do you think, Miss Fair
fax? FREDA.
Dropping in at your home
seems to have become a habit
with this young man. No doubt
he finds you attractive and
pleasant and wants to become
better acquainted with you. His
appearing bored may really
mean that he is a little shy
and that may also account for
his bringing the other boy
along. Why not invite another
girl to come over to your home
the next time they come, and
then suggest turning on the
radio so that you may dance.
If you show plenty of poise in
handling these boys, and do not
appear too much concerned
about whether they are in love
with you or not, you WILL find
that you will get along much
bettere and the young man will
gradually become more sociable.

The ratio Of chances favor
ing an event to the total num-
ber Of chances for and against
it is known as a mathematical
probability. For example: What
is the probability that you will
cut an ace from a full pack?
There are 13 cards in each suit,
only one of which is an ace;
consequently the chances for
cutting an ace are one in 13;
the chances for not cutting an
ace are IL in 13. The odds
against cutting an ace are IL
to /. AS either you must cut
an ace or you must fail to do
so always must equal unity, we
express the probability Of cut
ting the ace as 1-13, and the
probability of not cutting the
ace as 1918. The total prob
abilities are / plus IL, divided
by 13 equals l.

advantage you must follow the

ings. Other things being equal.
one most closely adhering to
mathematical probabilities. It
had been proven beyond doubt
that in the long run cards
closely follow just the course
that the mathematical prob
abilities indicate.
For practical reasons or
through curiosity, questions so
often arise as to probabilities,
that it pays to keep handy the
answers to some of the queries
most commonly heard.
There can be dealt just $685.
013,559,600 different hands.
Against a particular hand there
can be held by the three re-
naming players 8,122, ,425,4 ,444
different holdings. Having de-
termined the hands of yourself
and dummy, the two remaining
players may hold 10, 400, 800 diff
ferent hands. If you multiply
together the three numbers
given above, the product will
be the total number of ways
that the pack can be divided
among four players. This
product is: 53,644,737, ,765, ,488,-
1872, 1886, ,237, 100000. Few players
can put so vast a number into
words. In French, or American,
numeration a billion is 1000
millions, but in English numera-
ton a billion is one million mil
lions. This method extends
through the trillions, quadril-
lions, quintillionS, etc. Accord
ingly in our own numeration q
cardinal number, followed by
% ciphers, is read as an octil-
lion. In English numeration
a trillion corresponds to our
Octillion. We would read the
above number as SO octillionS,

765 quintillions, 488 quadrillions,

TuckS Do GeOmetrics
Now the dress sketched on
the right has such tiny pin
tucks that they almost look
like stitching or seams. They
make those odd bands of over
tapping hexagonalS around the
lower part of the bodice and

used?

beg pardon, dearie," the
lahdlady said, "but I always
get my rent in advance. I
knew it just slipped your
mind, SO I thought I'd speak
of it. did I do right to speak
of it? You wasn't expecting
to move, dearie?"
Lily Lou was surprised. she
had not realized. time goes
so fast.
She paid the rent for an
other month. You must have
q place to live, even if you
haven't enough to eat. no
body's really hungry when it's
so hot. Perhaps there were
cheaper places to live, but
she hated to think of them.
This was bad enough, so dark
and musty, with it's damp,
soapy-smelling linoleum COW
cred halls, and the huge, cold
looking bathroom that reeked
of lysol.
Always at 1t
"I pride myself on keeping
q clean house." the landlady
told Lily Lou when she moved
in. "I can see you like things
nice, dear. Well, I can promise
you I'm always at it,"
Lily Lou had not known
that cleanliness could be SO
dismal. The linoleum that
Mrs. Grampas sluiced down
every day with strong suds
was always family sticky un-
derfoot. There was always the
smell of damp, and dust, and
laundry soap. Half the time
there were no curtains at the
windows. Mrs. Grampas, skirts
pinned back to show Sagging
cotton hose, and the late Mr..
GrampaS' slippers, was perspir-
ing over the laundry tubs.
And when the curtains went
up again they were as gray
as when they came down.
Lily Lou began a humorous
letter to BeSS about it. She
wrote a page about poor Mrs.
GrampaS and her "dearie" and
darling" and all the other
endearmentS which dripped like
honey from her tight, pale lips.
Her GDon't mind my hair,
dearie, I was just goin' to sneak
over to the avenoo for a finger
wave, but I thought I'd just
clean up the house good first.
I do like a clean house, even If
some don't appreciate it," She
smiled to herself as she wrote
about the landlady'S futile strug-
gle with dirt and the sticky
heat of summer and her fallen
arches.
Not So Funny
But it did not sound funny
when she read it over. It
SOUNDED sad. Poor Mrs. Gram

She tore up the letter.
Thought wildly, 'What can I
write about? About the funny
places I eat? I've filled pages
about the automats, and the
basement tearooms, and the
shops, and Fifth Avenue buses,
and Grants Tomb, and the
Bowery, and the Statue of
Liberty"
And the family asked oues-
tions in their letters: Are you
studying with Tolari? What
kind of piano did you rent? Is
it a grand? Do you mind the
heat? Is your work hard?
How much do you get? Is
