Secrets Of II cath

fidgets and moves about almost
necessarily. Suddenly he will
blink the eyelids, jerk the
shoulders upwards and convulSe
the face muscles. The arms,
hands, legs and trunk may also
become involved. The twitch-
ings may cease for a short time,
only to be renewed with per-
hapS greater force. Suffering
may occur.
The child also becomes more
and more emotionally unstable,
and cries on the slightest provo
cation. Its sleep is restless;
there may be night cries and
"sleep STARTS" dreaming may
be excessive and disturbing.
Although a patient with
chorea is able to arrest the
twitchings Of his muscles by a
supreme effort of the will, he
finds it impossible to stop
them permanently. In fact,
when his attention is drawn to
his condition he is likely to be-
come worse.
Children are very prone to
initiate other children, and so
we find that association with
a choreic child makes the dis
order catchy Parents should
therefore not allow their chill
dren to play with those who
twitch, or who indulge in any
peculiar h bits Of walking,
talking and the like.
Chorea in all it's forms is
durable. This, however, often is
diff f cult of accomplishment.
Average mild cases last a week
or two; chronic cases run into
months. Always there is a
strong tendency toward relapse,
and it is therefore highly i'm
portant that the patients gen.
eral health be built up in every
possible way.
Chorea usually requires a
physicians care; often, indeed,
that of a specialist in nervous
disorders. Certain types Of
medication are useful; also COM
plete bed rest in a darkened
room. In fact, the latter should
always be tried first, even if it
is not a pleasant regime for
the patient.

Fashion
Flashes

Just the same in line as the
regular town coat are many of
the new coats for beach wear.
A typical model in white terry
towelling is fitted and tailored
and has silver buttons from
the high neckline to the fitted
waistline. The pockets have
tailored flaps.
The dotted line is important
in fashions as dotted Swiss
and dotted organdie attract
attention. A charming dance
ensemble has a frock of white
organdie with small black dots,
while the jacket is in black or
candle with tremendous white
dots. The frock has a belt Of
the black organdie.
A sure bet for neatness and
charm is the tucked chiffon cos

WASHNGTONF FASHIONS ByWImo LoViNe

The so-called August fur sale
has moved up to July this year.
Some stores have been showing
and selling fur coats for a week
or so already, and others are
about to present their shoWings.
There has been a reason for
these sales for many years, and
this year there's an added pur-
pose in them, an added induce
ment to us to buy early instead
Of waiting until time to wear
furs.
There's always been the ex-
cuse that the best furs were
used first, in the early coats,
and so by buying then, you got
better pelts. Most years the
prices are substantially the same,
before and after the early sale,
but you could usually count on
better quality of both furs and
workmanship by m aking an
August purchase. And this year,
with prices rising rapidly, nearly
all the stores assure us that
they cannot possibly get more
coats for the same prices. and
that all later purchases will nee
essarily be much higher.
Trimming in Contrast
Aside from practical purposes,
the fur coats are so interest
ing that we will be tempted by
them at any time, and it's i'm
possible to conceive of the later
coats having more style, more
interesting detail. Sleeves again
are important, and carry most
Of the fashion points. Scanning
Is cleverly used in flat furs, to
shape and trim the coat. PeltS
are cleverly worked to make a
pattern of the furs, more so
than ever it seems. Many long
haired furs and contrasting furs
are employed as trimming, and
the small details such as but
tons and fastenings are a de-
light in themselves. often in con-
traSting color, and of new and
different materials. Innings are
often colorful, and in new, smart
weaves, both of wool and silk.
Short FurS Best
Most of the popular furs are
those that are flat, light weight
and easily worked into a coat
as soft and well fitted as a
cloth coat. Broadtail, flat cara
cul, kidskin, pony and other
flat pelts are used to good ef-
feet, and closely following them
come the longer-haired skins,
mink, weasel, seal, lapin. squir-
rel. Black. brown and gray are
the favorite colors, and there
will be many good coats of
muSkrat, raccoon and other old
favorites.
Conservative Coats
We have photographed two
coats that present the conServ-
alive side of the mode, coats
that are new in detail rather
than in fur. and that will be
sure to be popular, throughout

Bidding TwO-Suiters


Here is an important ques-
ton: What is the present
method Of bidding two-suiters
most commonly in use among
experts?"
For several years the great
majority of our most promi
nent players first show the
longer of two biddable suits,
provided, Of course, that both
suits are biddable. A biddable
suit may be any one Of the
following: Any suit of six or
more cards (provided the hand
contains 21a quick tricks for an
opening bid, and further pro-
vided the hand contains at
least five probable playing
tricks; any suit of five cards
headed by as good as the @
or J-10; any suit of four cards
headed by the Ace or by either
the K-Q or K-J-10.
In case two suits are Of equal
length first bid the suit Of
higher value; spades before
any other suit; hearts before
either minor suit; diamonds be-
fore clubs.
Hand one, first bid 1-Spade,
then show diamonds, if ad-
visable. Hand two, bid hearts
first, and the same is true Of
Hand three.

Dr.. Bisch' S Daily
Diet Hint

There are those who are not
hungry upon arising in the
morning, and hence they eat
very little breakfast or none at
all. The system is at a low
point of vitality, however, when
we step out of bed; therefore
nourishment is needed for pur-
poses of creating heat and
energy. A regular but light
breakfast is therefore always
advisable.
Use the head of a sulphur
match in the water in which
you keep flowers and they will
stay fresh.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I like a boy very much and
would like to get him back, If
only as a friend. He got in
with a wrong crowd when very
young, and has reputation OF
being fast. He is decent sort
of boy and knows decent girls
when he sees them. He believes
that my mother is inclined to
think we are better than he is,
and imagines my mother wants
me to go with person with
money.
1 am the only girl in our
family and naturally my mother
is careful about me. She likes
this boy very much, and is the
type of a mother that let's her
daughter bring all her friends
home. So you see he has a
wrong impression of her. We
both have high ideals, and I
would like him to remain at
least a friend. Should I speak
to him about this matter Of
friendship? DULCY.
How fortunate you are in
your mother! I wish more
mothers would do the same, and
get to know their daughters
friends we'll. If you are privi-
legged to have this boy call on
you, I can't just see why any
special offer Of friendship Is
necessary. That seems to be
understood.

Unpaid

OAPeAAW
There are so many debts we
never pay.
Unthinking, carel eSs through
the flying years;
Who can recall the hope Of yes
terday,
The bliss of laughter or the boon
of tears?
The strength that was a staff
where we might cling,
The face that was a torch to
fire our souls -.
Who goes through chance and
change, remembering
The loves that lifted him to by
gone goals?
There was one hour in the long
ago;
It seems another self, another
earth,
So far away, so great the debt I
owe,
For which I rendered coin Of lit
tie worth;
MY tardy gratitude will never
wane,
Though this debt, too, unpaid
must still remain!

An excellent exercise to de-

Lie on the back on the floor,
lift one foot in the air, roll over
in the other direction, touching
the floor with the toes as far
as the leg will reach; back to

of muscle pull and rolling will

last act of the drama. On the way l.e was forced
to run the gauntlet at every village through
which he and his captors passed.
Al Wappatomika the first of his miraculous
escapes cam to pass. For there he was recog-
nized by Simon Girty, the white renegade, as
"Simon Butler (Kenton had taken that name
when he fed from Virginia early In his ~career),
q comrade In arms during the Dunmore war,
and Girty succeeded In winning over the Shaw
nees to freeing their prisoner. But his freedom
was short-lIved, for a war party which returned
from an unsuccessful raid In Virginia demanded
that his torture proceed. Even Girty could not
prevail against them, but he did succeed In hav-
ing the date for the torture postponed until the
gathering Of all the tribes at Sandusky.
On the way to Sandusky the famous Mingo
chief. Logan, befriended Kenton and spared him
some sufferings, but near Sandusky he was
again forced to run the gauntlet, his ninth time.
Then when preparations were going forward for
burning him at the stake, again fate INTERVIEWED.
AS the torch was applied to the wood piled up
around him., a heavy rain started to fall and put
1t out. 1t was two days before the wood was
dry enough to try again. In the meantime Peter
Druillard, a British agent from Detroit, arrived
and ransomed Kenton so that he could be taken
to Detroit for questioning by Gen. Henry Ham
1ltOn. the briLlSD cOmmhUuer lneTt. henLOn was
held a prisoner at Detroit until June, 1779, when
he escaped and safely made the perilous journey
back to Kentucky.
AS for the story of how Simon Kenton, the
frontiersman, became the subject for a famous
picture by two celebrated artists, Ii came about
when Karl Bodmer, a Swiss artist. accompanied
Macmillan, prince of Neuweid, to America to H.
lustrate the book his royal patron was to write
on Travels In the Interior OF North America,
1832-1834."
After Bodmer's return to Europe he lived for
awhile at Fontainebleau In France, where he was
a neighbor of Jean Francois Millet. He told Mil
let some of the classic stories OF the American
border, especially that of Kenton's Mazeppa ride,
and Millet began to make drawings Of Indians in
crayon and charcoal. Eventually he and Bodmer
elaborated in a series Of autographs, Bodmer
doing the landscapes and horses and Millet doing
the human figures, both Indians and white men.
These we're published In 1852 and one of them
was Simon Butler, or, Mazeppa American"
And this was another curious manifestation of
the fate which INTERVIEWED repeatedly In the life
of Simon Kenton-that his last portrait" should
be painted more than q decade after his death
by a foreigner, a man who had never seen him
and who, noted for being the dellneator Of quiet,
pastoral French scenes, would be about the last

an ugly mood, for Daniel Boone had recently es-
capped from them and returned to Boonesbor-
ough In time to help beat off an Indian attack
on that fort. But now they had a captive who
was almost as great a foeman as Boone and
they had no intention Of allowing him to escape.
They knew him for a brave man and they were
resolved that he should show "how a brave man
can die" which meant that he was doomed to
the torture stake.
However, they would wait until they had re-
turned to Chlllicothe, where all the members of
the tribe could enjoy his death a~gonies. In the
meantime they would infict upon him a long
series of beatings, kickings and other c~ruelties.

on this animal they fastened their prisoner, ty-
ing his hands behind him and his feet under the
horses belly. Around his neck they tied a halter
with its ends fastened to the horses neck and
tall. When this was done they released the
horse and gave 1t a sharp bloY to start 1t on its
way. AS they did so, one of them exclaimed,
"You like Indian horse. huh? You ride one now. I"
At once the horse began to rear and pitch
to rid itself of its burden, then started to run
through the woods. Bushes and brambles tore
at Kenton's feet and legs and low-hanging
branches of the trees raked his face and body.
But his greatest danger lay In his being shaken
loose from the horse, for then he would be
strangled by the halter around his neck before
his captors could stop the fear-maddened anil
