Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Bisch


Despite the invaluable help
that modern science can give
the prospective mother, even
to making birth a painless pro-
cess, there still remain women
who approach their first con-
finement with fear and dread,
or at least with grave misgiv-
ings.
1t is true that the mortality
rate at parturition is fairly
high. 1t is also true that child
bearing often leaves the mother
in poor health after the baby
is born. Yet where should the
blame for such deplorable in
stances be laid? Surely not
on the doctors or on the expert
nursing and hospital care that
nowadays are available every
where!
If the fault is anyone's it is
more than likely that Of the
woman concerned, herself!
For too many women, despite
the knowledge that they are
taking chances, put off seeing
their doctors too long, with the
result that faults in the phySi-
cal makeup cannot be cor
rected in time. On the other
hand, if a woman engages a
competent doctor just as soon
as she knows she is to become
a mother-in fact, if she makes
it point of consulting one
even if she only suspects-then
follows his advice consistently
and conscientiously, she may
look forward to the coming of
her child with real joy, un-
clouded by apprehension of any
kind.
It is exactly that state of
mind that she should have; for
the mental has a strong influ-
ence upon the physical. Even
the Greeks recognized the pow
erful influence of thought pro-
cesses under such conditions,
and they were accustomed to
surround their women folk
when approaching motherhood
with beautiful statuary and
scenery, to keep their point of
view cheerful and hopeful.
To be sure we do not, in these
modern times, go in for art un-
der these circumstances, al
though it wouldn't be a bad
idea, at that. Nevertheless, we
do counsel our women folk to be
as happy as possible. deliberately
exercising and resting and en-
tertaining themselves so that
their minds may be as free as
possible from worry and routine
duties that bore them.
And why should a prospective
mother place herself so soon un-
der a doctors care? Because
the body as well as the mind
must be made to function in the
most efficient manner, SO that
the extra burden of the growing
child may be borne without un-
due strain and with no damage
to the system.
Besides, diseases often exist,
perhaps in a mild form and
without giving symptoms, of
which the mother may be en-
tirely unaware. Particularly is
this true regarding the kidneys
and lungs, although the liver

Response to Invitation

Response to Invitation
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:'
am a reader of your column
and I wish you would inform
me if the following is a correct
form of acceptance to formal
invitation:
Mr.. Henry Clark Allen &C.
ceptS With pleasure your kind
inUitntion for luncheon at the
Hotel St. Morits on Sunday,
January the eighteenth, at one
o'clock.
San Francisco, California,
January tenth.
Or should it read
Mr.. Henry Clark Allen &C.
cepts with pleasure the kind in
Uitotion of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Runyon Upton for luncheon at
the Hotel St. Moritz on Sunday,
January the eighteenth, at one
o'clock.
San Francisco, California,
January tenth.
2. Will you also kindly inform
me how one should formally re-
gret an invitation? A.
l. The second form is the cor
rect one. The entire wording
of the acknowledgment should
be kept in the third person.
And the you" of your first
form is, of course, in the second
person.
Also, it is better form to space
the Acknowledgement as the in
vitation was spaced. Like this:
Mr.. Henry Clark Allen
accepts 1Dith pleasure
Mr.. and Mrs. George Runyon
Tipton'S
kind initiation to luncheon
at the Hotel St. Morits
on Sunday, the eighteenth of
January
at one o'clock
It is not necessary to add the
name of the place from which
we are answering, or the date.
Often, indeed, this gives an i'm
preston of cluttering up the
acknowledgement, which should
contain only the n ecessary
phrases.
2. There are two forms of re-
GREETING an invitation: one, the
short form of merely regretting,
and the other, the giving of the
reason for the impossibility of
accepting. The latter. obviously,
has an added grace, but the for
mer is more often used.
Mr.. Henry Clark Allen
regrets that he is unable to
accept
Mr.. and Mrs. George Runyon
Tipton'S
kind inDitGtion to luncheon
on Sunday, the eighteenth of
January
or
Mr.. Henry Clark Allen
regrets that a precious
engagement
preUentS his accepting
Mr.. and Mrs., etc.
In the regret, we need not
repeat the place or the hour,
since, obviously, in the regret,
they are not important.
Placing Knife and Fork
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
We had a little argument
the other day as to how a

anu QedIG are scarcely second In
Importance in this regard.
1t sometimes happens that an
undiscovered and incipient tuber-
culosis of the lungs suddenly
flares up to a woman about to
become a mother, and, before It
can be checked, claims it's VIC
tim. In a similar manner q
mild kidney disturbance in
some cases has suddenly become
aggravated, finally resulting in
that most dreaded of all child
birth disorders, eclampsia.
In the early months Of the
prenatal period the usual house
work can be carried on without
difficulty. In fact, if a woman
is accustomed to doing her own
work it is better that she carry
on for a while, because of the
exercise it entails. After the
weight becomes increasingly
noticeable, however, all bending,
heavy lifting and reaching
should be avoided entirely.

Gift for a COnvaIeScent
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you kindly let me know
what would be appropriate for
my husband and me to send
to our doctor. who is i'll in the
hospital? We would like to
send him a token of some sort.

Since the doctor will probably
have a great many flowers
sent to him, and since flowers
aren't too easy to care for in a
hospital, I suggest that you
send him a perfectly-chosen
book. for him to read during
his convalescence. Or a group
of the latest magazines, such as

hospital, since it is easy to turn

The Rhymins

BY ALINE MICHAELIS
Rose Jar

Rose Jar
Her life is like a rose jar now
Wherein the petals of her days,
Dropped down from youths
full-lowered bcugh.
Breathe agrant hints Of
Springtime ways.
Long dimmed by time, each
bygone hour
Like withered rose leaves laid
away,
Keeps still some vestige of the
flower
That crowned the golden sum-
mer day.
The rose jar now, and not the
rose,
Her life is with such sweetness
filled
1t seems that, drawing to its
close,
A rarer essence is distilled.
From these crushed petals Of
her hours
A scent elusive now is given
AS fragrant as celestial flowers
Must be. if roses bloom in
heaven!

Correct Manners

using them. Is there any def
mite or established rule on
this matter, and if so, won't
you please tell us about it?
The Bunch.
Yes, this rule of how we
place our knife and fork on
the plate after we have fin
ished a course is one of the
most definite rules in the world
of good manners. In fact,
even if this seems to be a
comparatively small question,
it is one of the very definite
details by which our manners,
our table manners are judged.
The knife and fork should
be laid side by side, in the
center of the plate. The han
dies rest on the rim of the
plate nearest to us. And so
that the knife and fork won't
be knocked off the plate, the
handles are turned slightly to
the right.

According to many authorities,
some 800 of the people of today
have acid stomach. This because so
many foods, comprising the modern
diet, are acid forming foods.
1t usually makes itself felt in
headaches, nausea, "gas," "bilious-
ness" and most frequently in
stomach pains that come about
thirty minutes after eating. So you
can easily tell if you have it.

OTeWeS on IIle screen.
Watch her method of developing
the character of the greedy and
selfish mother who was jealous of
the legitimate sex experiences of her
own two sons. The exposure of the
real cause of Mrs. Phelps feelings
toward the wife of her eldest son
as we'll as the fiancee of the younger
son, makes a tremendously dramatic
scene.
The speeches are long, but the
cast knows how to put action into
every word. Irene Dunno is cast as
Christina Phelps, the wife of David
Phelps. 1t is Christina who decides
that a mother-in-law has no right
to rob her of her husband.
Miss Dunno is excellent as she
battles helpleSSly for awhile against
the selfish schemes of her mother
in-law. Then the big scene.
I have been asked many times
what 1 think of the ability of
Frances Dee as an actress. AS
Hester, the fiancee of Robert Phelps
played in the desired weak fashion
by Eric Linden) Miss Dee has con-
WINGED me that she has exceptional
dramatic and emotional ability.
AS Hester, Miss Dee is able at all
times to keep pace with the eX-
cellent acting of both Miss Crewes
and Miss Dunno. And that think
answers your question.
Joel McCrea is all right as the
son who nearly ties himself once
more to his mothers apron strings.
Here is a big theme. 1t has the
hight to your patronage if you enjoy
big and fine acting and an in
