WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LoVi|e

Some of us find, to our dis
may, that the grand clothes
we bought in May and early
June, are not so very prac"
tical when the really hot days
come. Smart silks and things
that have to be cleaned are
fine for the occasions when we
want to look particularly well,
but there are endless sticky,
sultry days when we want some
thing washable, something cool,
a. fresh dress each day. And
when the hot days just keep
coming, one after the other,
it takes a rather extensive
wardrobe to be able to have a
fresh dress each morning, and
perhaps a change in the after
noon.
Cool Eyelet BatisteS
The answer to the problem
is to have several inexpensive,
washable frocks or suits, in
addition to our rather swanky
silks and prints and things
that must be cleaned. So for
several days to come, we're
going to show many of these
cool, practical frocks that will
form the backbone of any per-
sons hot weather wardrobe.
Today we suggest evelet ba-
tistes. either in suits or dresses,
for nothing is so cool, and they
are marvellous in their ability
to keep a fresh appearance
through the whole day.
The Swagger Suit
It's matter of opinion
whether suits or dresses are
more useful, so we've sketched
one of each. On the left is
charming white batiste with
navy embroidery, and navy
handkerchief linen making the
bib effect and the epaulets over
the shoulders. The puffed
sleeves make the dress suitable
for the street, but they're not
hot in the least. The suit on
the right is of yellow batiste
with yellow embroidery, and is
particularly practical because
the dress has tiny sleeves so
that it can go without the coat.
The coat is the popular sWag-
ger-length, and the dress is
particularly youthful looking.
These are just two of the sew
eral styles available, and other
good combinations are brown
and white, red and white, and
other colorS embroidered in self
color. The price of the dress
is $3.95, the suit is $5.95, and
they are both in junior sizes,
II to IT, suitable for small wo-
men as well as young girls.

the room to table where
three men sat.
The Argument
To the nervous, anxious girl
it was apparent that two of
the men, assisted by the at
tendant were arguing with the
third. She guessed why. The
fat, short man, his round face
red now with annoyance, did
not wish to risk an unknown
as a partner. Eventually though
he shrugged and gave up. A
moment later the attendant
beckoned and Patricia threaded
her way past the concentrated
players toward that table. She
acknowledged introductions to
Sam Gillis and Arthur Ray,
her opponents, and to Wally
Edge, her partner. The latter
was still sulking.
What system do you play?"
he asked shortly.
ANY system" Patricia in
formed him coolly. Edge looked
at her with sharpened interest,
unsure whether she was posing
or telling the simple truth. At
the end of the first rubber he
was sure. His abrupt respect
was almost funny. Patricia
waved aside his lavish compli-
ments and settled to the Sc
rious business of playing bridge.
She won just as she had
thought she would win. She
had not thought she would win
$35. The sum seemed stu
pendous. In q haze of in
credulous joy she heard Edge
urge her to return the next day,
heard herself promise. She
sped from the hotel. She ran
all the way to Leda's, burst in
hreathless, so excited she could
scarcely speak. Leda and Phil
were at the table.
I'VE waited dinner" Ieda
began in a tone of mild re-
proach. where have you
been?"
"I've been winning at bridge"
cried Patricia joyfully. Look,
look, will you, at what I've
won" She displayed a handful
of bills. Leda sprang from the
table, nearly as excited as her
friend.
Neither of the girls noticed
Phil. His face was thunder
cloud. In the midst of the
feminine jubilation he pushed
back his chair, rose.
"You can take your money
and get out" he shouted at
Patricia. II won't have my
fiancee living with a common
gambler!"
Stunned Silence
There was a moment of
stunned silence. Patricia's face
was white. Her hands, still full
of bills, dropped. Even Phil
felt that he had gone too far.
He sat down heavily.
"Phils crazy" Leda declared
at length. Turning on him, she
said with an undercurrent of

Advice For
The Love|orn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
One Is Jealous and the Other
Jokes
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My friends consider me pretty
and I'm 18. For two years I've
been going with a young man
who says he loves me and I'm
sure I love him. The trouble is
that he is so jealous he objects
to my talking with anyone, par.
ticularly to a neighbor's boy,
with whom I enjoy joking. I
like this one only as a friend,
but the other young man
threatens to quit me if I don't
stop talking to this neighbours
boy. Which one would you ad-
wise me to give up?
PUZZLED.
Don't give up either, my dear.
Just learn to manage both a
little better. The jealous young
man is only trying to scare you
into giving up the boy with
whom you talk and joke. The
more you feed jealousy. the more
you will have to continue to
feed it. There are women whose
entire lives are given up to ex-
planning, excusing, apologizing-
for nothing at ALTO jealous
men.
You and the jealous young
man are net engaged, and you
are within your rights in talk
ing with whom you please. If
you have any intention of marry
ing this gentleman. it would be
most unWlSe to yield to his un-
founded suspicion at this stage.
Jealousy is form of fear. Very
skillfully you will have to hint
to the young man that he
should have more confidence
in his powers of attraction than
to be worried out of his wits
by neighbor's boy. Meantime,
I hope you'll continue to talk
and joke with him. That sort
of jealousy is distinctly old
fashioned.
Doubtless the older boy
friend has gotten over his
mad" by this time and you're
as good friends as ever; but
if that's not the case, why not
write him a little note and
say. as you have to me, that
you didn't say the thing that
offended him.
If you were not positively
engaged to p, you were
within your rights in accept
ing the invitation from the
other boy.

impossible.
Young and IntOlerant
Phil was a constant visitor to
the apartment. He and Pa
tricia tore at each others
nerves, were barely on speaking
terms. The girl was too young
to make allowances for the
man; he was too intolerant to
make allowances for her. End

wretched at the impaSse of her
own affairs, wondered if her
friend did not tire of the role.

that. But she was helpless.
Then came the afternoon she

casual as she strolled through
the lobby and turned off into a
pleasant chintz hung room
where several dozen people
were playing cards. She was
not casual. She had come de.

She paused at the desk where
an attendant was seated. Her

Secrets OF
Health
BY LOUIS E. BISCH, M. D., Phi. D.
Famous Authority on Health and
Psychology

Psychology
Copyright. 1888, King Features
Syndicate. Incl
Mental Hygiene is rather q
new term and it has come into
being because it is only within
comparatively few years that
the mind as a functioning organ,
has been studied as carefully
as have been the heart, the
liver, the kidneys, and the
others. Hygiene means the
preservation of health; mental
hygiene the preservation of the
health of the mind.
There can be no doubt but
what we are more careless
about the way We take care Of
our minds than we are the rest
of the body.
This is due partly to the fact
that it is extremely difficult to
get outside oneself, as it were.
and obtain a proper perspective
of oneself; partly is it due to
the intangibility of mind as
such.
When we think of the func-
tioning of most organs it means
something to us. The liver, for
instance. secrets bile: the heart
beats; the works of the kidneys
is to form urine. But the
brain! 1t m anuf actures
thoughts, yes. But nobody ever
saw a thought. How is thought
made? What does it consist
Of? How is it stored up? And,
of course, how can it be con.
trolled or influenced?
That our thought processes
can, however, be controlled and
influenced, despite our inability
to answer with certitude the
other questions, are the very
reasons why such a conception
as mental hygiene has validity.
Mental breakdown, nervous
exhaustion, obsessing fears.
doubts, inferiority ideas and the
like, even insanity, can be
avoided! The practice of men,
tai hygiene means taking care
of your thinking machinery in
the best possible way in order
to achieve the best possible re-
suits from every possible point
Of view.
Months may, and usually do
pass, before people realize that
their thoughts, and the be-
havior that results from them,
are in any way unusual. Mem
ory and concentration may be
poor, their dreams may be dis
turbing, they may develop a
strange feeling of impending
danger. they may gradually re-
frain more and more from min
Cling socially-yet such persons
may never suspect that special
lists in psychology exist who
quickly could place their finger,
so to speak. upon what is wrong
and so prevent possible mental
disaster.
Every man and woman-ev-
cry child, too, for that matter
should learn how to observe
the workings of his own mind.
At least a censory knowledge Of
psychology is desirable and this
can be obtained readily from
any number of popular books.
Next we should all be fear
less about calling a spade a
spade" when it comes to our
thoughts. We must be honest
with ourselves. If we think
morbidly we must not hesitate
to admit it.
Thirdly, we should discuss
with our family physician the
way our mind is working the
same as we report on the gen.
eral efficiency of the rest of the
boly. His advice here can be
most valuable. And if he is ur1.
able to help he can at least sug-
gest where specialized aid my

CHICAGO, Aug. % G.N.S)-
Mayor Edward ]. Kelly, Of Chi
cago, has no intention of resign
ing, he announced today.
The revelation last week that
Mayor Kelly had been compelled
to pay the United States Govern
ment 5000 taxes on unreported
income for 1926, 1927 and 1928
had caused agitation among civic
leaders to prevail upon the mayor
to step out. He said today:
Il am not going to resign. I
have not even thought Of it, and
see no reason why 1 should re-
sign"
The Better Government Asso-
citation took a leading part in
the movement to force out the
Mayor. The Association drew up
for formal adoption resolutions
demanding that Kelly resign and
that a special election be called
to elect a successor. Kelly was
selected by the city coucil to fill
the unexpired term of the late
Mayor Anton j. Cermak.
Meanwhile leaders Of other
groups laid plans for big parade
and demonstration in front of the
