He was still looking at Judith

"PLAyG|RLS IN LOVE" ::
FASHIONS By Wilma LdVNe

There's one problem that's
always with US, in and out of
season. That is the question
of what to wear around the
house. It must be smart, it
usually should be washable, alb
solutely cannot be uncomfort-
able, and at the same time, we
must consider such things as
becomingneSS and our own
taste. In shopping for such
combinations Of all the vir-
tues, we found two garments
that might be of interest to
you, so, we're sketching them
today.
The Cats Whiskers.
On the left you see the cats
whiSkerS pajamas. They are
grand to slip on when you
get up in the morning if you
have breakfast to get and jobs
about the house. If you go
to work, they are just as good
to put on when you come
home at night, if you're having
a quiet evening at home. Then
If you don't wear them out
berore summer comes, they will
fit into the many needs Of
summer play time, for the
house, for over your bathing
suit to and from the pool, and
the many other uses you can
think Of. They are priced only
81, and come in plain color
linene, or cotton printed broad
cloth. The prints have white
organdie sleeves and bow, the
plain colors have stripped or
candle. They come in all the
gay colors.
Longer COOlie Coat
Many people do not like pa
jamaS, so we've Sketched the
best garment we could find Of
it's type, a pongee coolie coat.
It's foremost feature is that it
is long enough to cover your
slip, and to afford some real
protection if you want to use
it on the train, or about the
house. It has a colorful decora-
ton on the back, dragon em-
broidered in red, blue or black.
It comes in natural color pom
gee, and is priced at $2.95. You
are sure to see it worn many
places this spring and summer,
for cruising, lounging, on the
beach and especially for travel
ing, as it packs so well and you
can wash it cut as often as you
want to.

where you can find these gar
gents, write Miss Laville, enclOs-

w were vulnerable. ABB were
not vulnerable. Worse yet, w
had so points on the score.
ABB had no score. It was the
worst possible time FOR w to
attempt overbidding. z made
an opening bid Of 1-Spade. Con-
tracing went as follows: Y,
diamonds; z, 2-Hearts; Y,
2-Spades; B, IT double 2-Spades,"
as a call for partner to bid.
z, Pass; A, 3-Clubs; Y, S-Dia-

Y, 4-Spades, ignoring the score;
z, 6-Spades, although his major
suits were both spotty; B,

auction.
The opening lead was the 6

rs ace won the trick. The
next four tricks z played per.
fectly. He led his K OF dia-
mondS. A low trump lead was
won with dummy's K. Upon
the Ace of diamonds the de-
clarer discarded his last club,
and at the fifth trick a heart
was led from dummy. BIS

trick.

have drawn heavily on sta
tistical data because they are so
startling. The lesson to be
learned is plain. The only way
to prevent so costly an expert
ence as being sick is to do every
thing in ones power to remain
we'll!
To be sure, there are free
clinics aplenty. and be it said
to the glory of this country that
the poor nowadays can get as
expert medical attention as the
rich. The majority of the popu-
lation pays, however, and heav-
lily!
The worst of it is that when

woefully negligent. Often we

tions. People won't. be vacci.
mated or take prophylactic
treatment against typhoid or
diphtheria. Comparatively few
make it a rule to visit their
doctor and dentist at regular
intervals. Still fewer pay at
tention to proper diet, sleep,
care as to the use of stimu-
lantS and a host Of other essen
tials which must be considered
if general health and strength
are to be maintained and the
life-span heightened.
Mans conceit certainly has a
great deal to do with this in
different attitude. He persuades
himself that it is impossible for
him to fall sick. Indeed, he
may even boast that he has
never consulted a doctor.
But does such a short-sighted
policy really pay?

She No Longer Loves Him

She No Longer Loves Him
Dear Miss Fairfax:
may seem just like child
to you, if that's what you c(n-
slider a boy of 16. But at IA I
fell deeply in love with girl,
who also fell in love with me.
For two years 1 went on ador-
ing her, and she cared for me,
too, but few days ago she told
me she no longer loved me.
Miss Fairfax, it doesn't seem
true. I can't realize how this is
possible. Am I just another
fool, or am I justified in hop
ing she'll reconsider?
"B. B."
This is no time for me to add
to your troubles by rubbing in
your youth. accept your state
ment that you've been in love
for two years; that the girl has
now given you up. Well, why
not accept this calamity as a
springboard to real success? At
16 you've got the whole world
before you. Begin by making
something of yourself. When
George washington rode to his
Inauguration two ladies, who
had rejected him when they
were sweet Is, tainted dead
away. Here's hoping you'll make
that girl faint with regret after
you have achieved real success.

Interesting Bird se Hands
By E. V. SHEPARD

z made a fatal slip through not
thinking clearly. The six
hearts against him stood only
35 in 100 chances of being held
3-3 by the defenders. Even
had they been held in that
manner, rs next lead could
have served no useful purpose.
There were held against the de-
declarer the K-10-8-4, after the
first lead Of that suit. Instead
of leading his lowest heart,
z led the j, and BIS K won the
trick. Of course B led a trump.
The trick was won by the @,
dropping the J from AS hand,
and leaving only the 10 ~in
dummy. z led his 9 of hearts,
A played the 10. Dummy

his own hand by leading a club
and trumping it. Unfortunately,

trump, AS OF neaCCS haQ TO
win a trick, putting the re-
doubled contract down one
trick.
At the sixth trick z should
have led his lowest heart, let
ting BIS K win the trick. B
would lead back a trump, and
the declarer'S @ would hold the
trick. Dummy would trump a
low heart. The declarer would
trump a club, and pull the last
opposing trump. His hand
would consist of two good
hearts and the only trump left,
with which to win the last
three tricks, and fulfill his con-

to toot his horn, but on sight

his hand from the button on

KIDS AT MOVIES

An educational research man, address,
ing gathering of club women on the eff
feet Of movies on children, repeats statis-
tics which have already been widely pub
lished but which need to be emphasized to
parents, says the Palm Beach News.
He tells his audience it has been prov
ed that boy or girl remembers 80 percent
of every movie six weeks after seeing it,
and that young children remember three
out of five things remembered by adults.
When it is realized that 28,000,000 chill
dren week attend movies in this country
and that 20 percent of the average movie
audience are youths under 81, it is plain
that movies may be called supplementary
system of education for American children.
It might be just as well,to make an eff
fort to educate children's taste in movies,
to enable them to see good pictures and to
cultivate other interests which may keep
them away from bad pictures.
It is not an impossible task, either.
When the Silly Symphonies, Little Women,
Alice in Wonderland an dother pictures
both delightful and wholesome are box of
flee successes the country over, it seems OBJ
viouss that the inwholesome pictures have
no monopoly on popular approval There
will be more good pictures if the public
supports them.

sPEEDERs OF OLD

The traffic problem, especially in our
larger cities, has long been acute, and
added to the congestion, which appears I'M
avoidable, is the menace of the inattentive
driver and the willful speeder
But we should not imagine that
similar problems did not concern city
jewellers of the past In an editorial
which appeared in the New York Mirror in
the year 1884, the reckless Broadway bus
drivers were severely criticized for their
disregard of life and limb. It said:
'"The inconvenience and danger of
this is no less felt by those who ride than
by those who walk It has not only become
dangerous to cross Broadway on foot, but
persons who venture or trust themselves in
side one of these carriages run the risk of
having their brains turned by the rapidity
of the motion"
Not only was fear expressed for the
safety of pedestrians, but the writer of that
editorial appears to have believed that too
rapid speed would scramble the very brains
inside ones Uranium.

ING an airplane at the rate Of more than

NEW YEARS DAY

Festivals in celebration of the begin
ming Of new year have been traced back
as far as 5000 B. c., to ancient Babylon.
They may have been held long before that
Throughout the ages various peoples have
observed various days as New Years Day.
In view of the many calendars which
have been employed to mark the passage of
time, much confusion has resulted. Differ
ent peoples have counted the years from
some real or imaginary event, and the
length of the year itself has varied accord
ing to the calendar used.
The Mohammedan year, for example,
is governed by the moon, instead of the
sun, and consists of IL lunar months, or on
ly 354 days. The Hebrew calendar also
consists of 354 days ordinarily, but an ex-
ira month is inserted once in g years, max
ing 384 days in those embolismic years, as
they are called.
The ancient Egyptian year had IL
months of 80 days each, but five supple
mentary days were added at the end, maxi
ing 365 days. Similar peculiarities mark
ed the year of various other peoples. At
one time or another every day in the year
has been considered New Years Day ac-
cording to some calendar or other.
Our present calendar is modification
of that established by julius Caesar in the
year 46 B. C. Augustus made some re-
arrangement of the number of days in the
various months, so that August, named for
him, might have as many days as July,
named for Julius, for originally August had
only 80 days. The calendar we now use
was established by Pope Gregory in 1882.
So, when we observe New Years Day
we may understand that it does not mean
anything in particular, except that it is the
first day of the year arbitrarily established
as convenient means of reckoning the
flight of time.
