Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Bisch

Unfortunately we hear a lot
about physical bravery, but sci.
dom does mental bravery come
in for its proper share Of the
plaudits.
Yet in the last analysis, to
stick it out despite adversely, to
remain courageous, to fight ones
way through worry, doubt and
an uncertain future, to smile
when the heart aches-such dis
plays of mental bravery, quietly
carried on without the fanfare
of trumpets or the glare of the
spotlight, are equally fine if. in
deed, not finer than going over
the top into mo Mans Land"
No man, woman or child can
go through life without set
backs; and life often hits us
not with one telling blow, but
with several. Nevertheless, if
we all stopped at the first i'm
pact and went down, what
would become of us? What, in.
deed, would happen to the en-
tire structure of civilization?
Although most people are
mentally brave, there are alto
gether too many who display an
opposite trait, namely, self-pity,
and self-pity, of course, ranks
among the greatest undermining
influence within the realms of
human thinking.
For Self-pity signifies not
only an admission of defeat,
but it saps the very life-force of
our personalities. It stands for
flight instead of fight3 it often
is synonymous with cowardice;
it is cringing and begging; it in
suits Self-reSpect. Worst of all,
self-pity kills our initiative to
try to begin again.
Every time an individual
pities himself he shuts the door
of hope. Figuratively speaking,
he slams it in his own face.
And if he develops the habit of
self-pity-a chronic state which
is far from ncommon-he bolts
that same door and seals it
tight.
Realize defeat, if you will, but
never allow it to overwhelm
you. Find out why you got the
worst of it: seek OUT the CallSeS.
Once that is done, it is rela-
lively easy to prevent a similar
catastrophy. And if you keep
on learning from the lessons of
life, your mental bravery is
bound to increase as the years
go by.
Should you, my reader, hap
pen to be one of those who has
fallen victim to Self-pity, make
up your mind at once to give
the habit no quarter until you

A Pulse -TingIng Novel Of Modern Youth
BY the Author Of "A FIapper Wife,
WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LouMe

There's more significance to
our drawings today than you
see at first glance. If you think
we selected two dresses because
they were merely pretty and
becoming, you're wrong, for
those two gowns mark the first
steps of a trend, one so strong
that in another season or SO,
it will outmode all our clothes
that have not followed it.
That's a strong prediction, but
one that is well founded, If
you follow fashion news. It's
the trend toward more fullness
in clothes, especially skirts, and
it is startling with fullness in
the back. All the better authori-
ties are talking about it, and
you can probably see it for
yourself already.
A New Silhouette
Last years skirts were slim
through the hips and below. If
they didn't have that tight,
cut-under look, especially for
evening, we tho ught they
weren't so smart. Almost imper-
ceptibly they've widened below
the hips, so that now they flow
straight down from the hips,
almost from the waist, in a
gradually widening line. Full
ness is more pronounced at the
top of the silhouette too, and
tightly fitted clothes are de-
cidedly on the out. Be careful
in buying that you get things
with this new feeling, or you
will probably regret them be-
fore they're worn out.
In Eleanor Blue.
These evening gowns show
two very beautiful ways Of
achieving this new back full
ness, through ruffles, and
through godets that leave the
silhouette slim, but give grace
and sweep to the skirt. The
dress on the left uses the latter
treatment, and has a detach-
able cape that makes the even
ing dress beneath into a din
ner dress. Notice the fine
details, such as covered but
tons and loops up the back.
This gown has a decided prin-
cess silhouette. The other
gown uses ruffles down the
back, for the new movement.
It has the new high neckline
in front, and a moderate line
in the back that may be
lowered for greater formality,
by the neat line Of buttons.
Both these gowns are of
chiffon, newest material for
evening, and are in Eleanor
blue, that soft color named for
our Presidents wife. They are

JUST WHAT does the hair
brush do, in the way of pre-
serving the hirsute halo? It
whisks away dust that has
gathered during the day, and
that's a good deed. It puts on
the high polish that makes hair
attractive. It removes those
shafts that have served their
time and are on the way to
whatever heaven hairs go to
when they die, giving a chance
to new fuzzers to come along,
and keep the crop abundant.

there's the rub. So do double

Women who are distinguished

have job-lot wardrobes. Every
article is selected with consid-

The well-dressed woman doesn't
spend any more money on her
sartorial treasures than the
buddy one, she only spends
more thought and time. Be-
tween hat. coat and frock
there should be color harmony.
Shoes and stockings might just
as we'll look as if they belonged
to the family group, instead of
being outsiders. Gloves and

'CLOGGED BOWELS
EXACT THEIR PRICE

Don't imagine that you can shock
your system every few days with
laxatives and fail to pay the price.
Laxatives and purges rob the deli
cate membrane lining Of your bow
els of moisture and elasticity, so that
you have to continue drugging more
and more to spur your reluctant
bowels to action. Almost before you
realize your peril, you're laxative
slave. Digestive troubles develop,
headaches, dizzy spells and bilious
ness follow. An operation for piles
or other intestinal trouble may
result.
But you can free yourself from
laxative slavery and constipation
quickly and easily with Cream of
Nujol treatment.
This new form of Nujol is spe-
cially suited to sufferers from
chronic constipation. It soothes and
comforts the bowels, absorbs poi
sons, and helps the peristaltic action
which alone can dispose of wastes
naturally.
Start the new harmless Cream of

cious to take and costs you only
few cents a day.

it far afield.
Constantly watch your re.
actions to unfavorable circum.
stances: be on the alert for
signs of weakness; catch fear
and depression in the making,
and before they take a firm
hold of you.
Counteract your timidity by
reading heroic novels which
will inspire you, Study the
biographies of great men and
note how they overcame ter.
rifle obstacles. Feast your mind
with stories of gigantic accom-.
plishments. Allow your ambi-
t1ons to soar! Hitch that pro-
verbal chariot of yours to the
stars! Make it a practice to
think lofty and inspiring
thoughts!
Then, in order to do a real,
good job against self pity, back
up the mental side by building
a sound foundation of physical.
health. Go in for exercises in
which large muscle groups are
employed. Take up combative
sports such as boxing, fencing
and wrestling. All games where
tho element of competition
enters are excellent.
Everybody can make himself
mentally brave, even if by
nature he seems a bit timid.
It's the start that's the hard.

started, courage develops with
astonishing rapidity.

After the Secret Wedding
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have been secretly married
for the past three months and
my husband and I have de-
cided to have a church we'd
ding next month, but we are
omitting a reception for finan-
cial reasons.
What would you advise as
the proper way to. announce
this to our friends? We are
anxious to have them all attend
the church wedding.
Would you have announce
ment cards made, and if so, how
would you suggest they read?
Is it proper to include the date
of our secret marriage on the
announcement cards? j.
Under the circumstances I
should think that it would be
the best taste to have the sim
plest kind of wedding, just 60
ing to the church with your
parents and his parents. And
it would be the best taste to
omit the formal announcement
cards.
Very sincerely yours,
