Habit is a strange thing. biting the nails for instance.
 Actually, biting finger nails i not different from many othei mannerisms. Nature seemed tC have 1t in for us by planting some unusual coordination betweeI hand and face. Babies, before they are born, often suck theil thumbs, we are informed.
 Is it any wonder then that after they come here to live they con. tinue to enjoy their little pinl
 Perhaps nail-biting is just z hangover from a pre-Ip tai gesture who knows? But one thing i. sure, it is harder to break up the hand-to-face urge than almost any other unconsciously repeated ges. ture of the body.
 Effect on Muscles
 In time the arms muscles fee more at home in that position than any other. It does not necessarily denote nervousness, although the worried child may do it. It ac- companies deep thought, concen. tration and even extreme happi. ness as often as it does fear ol strain. But even extreme happi- ness as often as it does fear ol strain. But even these things may be absent and a child will bite hi: nails for no reason whatever.
 Emotionally there seems to bt no real reason behind it at all.
 A man may scratch his ear, or 6 woman smooth back her hair pulling at the nose. brushing tht lips with the back of the hand strengthening the glasses, rubbing the jaw, stroking the mustache ol beard-all are hand-to-face hab its; the same crook of the arm re. sorted to without apparent reason
 It is not necessarily 8 nervou: or unhappy person who does these things, as I have said. Some o1 the most even people we know have a habit trick of some kind or other that lifts the hand to the head.
 So, without a tangible cause how can we overcome 1t The usua lway to cure anything is tc get at cause and remove it.
 Don't Punish or Scold
 Another thing that blocks us is this. We have learned that any habit, either physical or mental, is more deeply set by scolding or shaming the child.
 What then is to be done? Il seems to leave us entirely dis armed, doesn't it? Nothing real to get at or remove, and no scolding or punishment. Not even tying the hands is recommended because construction damages the temper more surely than it can ever be repaired.
 Yet there are three things that, patiently pursued, may do won- ders. One is to appeal to the child's pride. The next is to keep his hands so busy-and his arms too-that the face-urge won't pre- sent itself, and to see that he is tired enough at bedtime to go right to sleep. The third is inn portant-to get him a nail brush and a simple manicure set. If you can afford it. have his nails mani cured once in two weeks so there will be no rough places to bite off Nail biters are hand uncon- scious. To make them hand con. scious is to win the battle.

And do you drink only champagne, wear your dresses once and bathe in a marble pool?" "Tell her 'yes,," Barney laughed. And add that your Pekingese has real diamonds in his collar and a special chef cooks his food" "She'd be surprised to know how little it costs me to live" Joan said.
 They were having dinner to- gether again. Barney leaned across the table. "Joan," he said, "I want to talk to you about that place where you're living. I think you should move."
 Joan wouldn't hear to 1t, she said. She was comfortable. Why should she move? She explained about Benny then. He was improv- ing steadily under a specialists s care. The generous salary Barney was paying her had made this possible. Barney told her then about his stepmother, She had been shar- ing an apartment on Park avenue with him. but he found 1t neces- sary to move to hotel near the night club. It was more convenient and practicable to be near his business. He had been racking his brain, wondering what he would | do about his mother. She didn't like hotel life.

ingredients make the perfect bridge dress.
 If you are "cold-blooded," by all means get a wool bridge dress. If you never notice if the radiator is on or not, then silk or satin is the thing for you. Red is one of the first choices, unless you have to wear it to many bridge parties. Then be satisfied with red touches. New hyacinths, old golds, rusty caramel tones, rusty rose, turquoise blue with an overcast of beige or gray, new medium greens with a strong blue cast to them, vivid greens-these are all excellent col ors. Several of them,appearing on the same day, give a gala look to

 The soft wool dress (left), vii brant turquoise blue, has a squar- ish notched finish to a shoulder and top arm tuck and to the edges of its Ascot tie that are new and nice. The waving brown belt is fine leather. Below the full top of the raglan sleeves are very tight cuffs that have to be opened to get into and then snapped shut. The bit of a hat is the identical blue, with brown underpart.

Patrick, philosopher of Iowa university says: "If there is kind of under ground communication among the members, if there are certain sec- ret symbols-the spirit of loyalty. and devotion burns brightly. We who are adherents-never suspect that in our devotion, our loyalty, our sacrifice, even our fanaticism we are simply IivIng; that we are experiencing life's great realities, that we have here the fulillmenf of function.

 There's something about a smart, bright dress that ut-psychologizes your opponent. And then, too, if you yourself were giving a bridge party, wouldn't your day be bright CT if your guests came cheerfully arrayed in attractively colored frocks?

Tweedy-looking fabrics are rap-

You may now skip after your share of the hickory nuts in beige and navy woolen plaids. or beige, navy and red checks that have all the warmth and appearance of the early school, but none of the weight.

yet, as Mr.. Hammond so wisely
pointed out last week, the screen
has done far better with some
dramas than the stage itself-and
he holds up the Hemingway story,
"a Farewell to Arms" as a perfect
example.
Just why, at this time, Mr..
Nathan should want to slap the
cinema for being naughty is
something beyond us. While it
may and should be chaStised for
such weakling offsprings as
Laughter in He'll" THE Dream
Kiss" RAIN" and one or two
others, it is sponsoring on the
whole better productions than
ever before-productions which
are done deliberately and taste
fully. The stage, for instance, has
no better entertainment offerings
at this time than The Animal
Kingdom" The Bitter Tea OF
General Yen," "Cynara." "a Fare
well to Arms" "Rasputin and the
Empress" "One-Way Passage
Trouble in Paradise" and Silver
Dollar" While one may be an
noyed with the foolishness of
The Mummy" and complain
against the inSinuations in mo
Man of Her Own" (which never
tF1eless was a highly diverting
finn, the screen is not rich with
the thing which Mr. Nathan de-
cries.
After all, the theater has never
catered primarily to juvenile au-
diences. The Grecian theater
wasn't kindergarten, and its his
tory in England has not always
bloSomed with serene and goodly
gospels preached for the benefit
of gentle audiences. Yet, while
many of it's moments have been
rough and ribald, the general
tempo has been sophisticated
rather than bad, and clever
rather than salacious. You have
only to turn, to current-day Mr..
Coward to realize that the the
ater'S juciest moments are apt to
be provided by sudden verbal
plunge from the heights to the
depths mot too deep.
The screen has had its downs,
of course, but at this time it is
having a decided up. It bristles
and shines with splendid acting,
splendid directing and words
which are cften believable. It's
general average is a far higher
average than BroadWay-which,
besides the strictly strict drama,
has scandals" and "revues" to
contend with-and vaudeville of
such a low order that if any
charge is made against the
cinema the latter should be con-
demned a hundred fold. In fact
and it Is a fact, right here in
Washington many pleasant screen
entertainments are spoiled by the
commonplace and even disgusting
vaudeville acts which appear
every now and again. Why audi
ences sometimes don't jump up
all in body and chase some of
these delinquents off the boards
is a question we have often de-
bated within ourselves.

Big Broadway Shows
Go to Bargain Basement
Old Man Profit and Not Philanthropy Figures in
Cut-Prce Admissions. and Now All the Box
Office Needs Is Cooperation From Public.
By Percy Hammond.

TN announcing a reduction in the
high cost of drama loving the pro-
ducers let it be known that they
i are not moved by any spirit OF
philanthropy. As Mr.. John Golden
said when he applied his knife to the
Quivering tariffs of When Ladies
Meet it Is more profitable to sell two
tickets for 81 than one ticket for So.
Other brilliant economists OF the thea
ter, after consulting their arithmetic,
come to similar conclusion, and now
most Of the Broadway hits" are in the
bargain basement. All that is needed
is cooperation from the public. Anx-
ious accountants are at present audit
ing the box-office statements with a
hope which the cold and skeptical
editor of Variety considers forlorn-
that this tardy rubbing Of Alladin's
lamp will result in overfowing tills.
1t has been substantiated theory OF
show business that it was above the
sordid laws of finance. If its patrons
wished to see a play they saw it no
matter how painful the price. 1t was
Broadway axiom that IF they want
it they'll buy it at any cost; if they
don't you can't give 1t to them" Out
ragged customers frequently complained
about the dramas rapacity, but sub
mitted to it as an essential evil. They
seemed to regard the theater as a ne
cessity more urgent than food or cloth
ing. I, whose playgoing costs me little,
used to try to tell them that it was
one Of life's luxuries, and that if they
refused to indulge in it no harm would
be done. But my clamoring, as usual,
was as a voice in the desert, and until
the cinema grew up to be mature and
gigantic, the populace permitted its
wallets to be filched by a voracious
stage. Now, when the drama is no
longer a menace to the budgets, We
shall see how amenable are the vacil-
lating play fanciers to the new deal
1t has been said by Mr.. MacIntyre, Mr.
Brisbane or some other sage that when
the devil Is ILL., the devil a saint would
be-" Let us, therefore, welcome show
business to the mourners' bench, trust
ing little doubtfully that it will kneel
there until temptation lures it again
into the sodden realms Of avarice.
