A PuIse-TngIing Novel Of Modern Youth
BY the Author Of "A FlaPper Wife"
WASHINGTON FASHIONS

The fairly rapid changes in
styles of hairdressing makes

too. They keep the hairdress-
ers busy, inventing new ways
and means of making your
head just the right shape,
your waves just the right
tightness, and in adapting the
new fashions to the individual
head. When a new perma-
nent wave comes out, it is
usually because there is a style
change that demands it, and
not because the old method is
no longer good. If you will
let your hairdresser advise
you, and give you the correct
wave for your type coiffure,
you will probably be happier
in the long run, for it's very
difficult to adapt the wrong
wave to the right coiffure.
Soft and Glossy

the ends than further up. 1t
is heated the same way that
waves have been for a long
time, so that there's nothing
experimental about it. It makes
a marvelously soft, natural
looking wave, and the hair
around your face, which has
less wave in it than the ends,
falls into beautiful loose waves,
and is gloSSier than usual with
a permanent wave. Another
advantage in this type wave
is that you can push it into
place yourself, with a little
practice, though of course you
get the best results by having
it finger-waved by a profes-
Sional.

where's Eddie?" he asked,
his face working. How badly
hurt is he?-where have they
put him?"
Sharlie shook her head help
lessly. The building seemed so
huge and so silent when they
walked into it.
A nurse was coming down
the entrance hall. They asked
her where they could find Ed
die. They told her what had
happened to him.
Just wait here a minute.
I'll find out where he is," she
told them in a half whisper
and vanished into a room be-
hind a swinging white door.
In a minute or two they could
hear her talking over the house
telephone.
Then she came back to them.
IF you'll go up to the Sec
ond floor" she murmured,
waving them toward a stair
case at the left of the hall.
Another nurse was waiting
for them at the head of the
stairs. She led them down a
long, white dimly-lighted cor
ridor to a small white room
furnished with a table and two
straight chairs.
She left them there. They
could hear the soft, slipping,
sliding sound of her rubber
heeled shoes on the cork floor
of the corridor. Then there
was silence.
MOmentOus Words
And then, after ten minutes
or so, the nurse came back with
a doctor in a long white coat.
He was very grave, and what
he had come there to say he
said in a very few words. :.
Eddie had died on the way to
the hospital.
"Dead?" Eddie's father be-
gan to shake all over. Tears
rolled down his unshaved
cheeks. 1--WE got to see him
I've got to see Eddie"
The nurse and the doctor
took him away down the cor
ridor between them, and
Sharlie was left alone in the
white room. She had no de-
sire to see Eddie. Eddie with
his grin and the twinkle far

The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALTNE MICHAELIS
tn a Poet

To q Poet
Weave me music out of words
Like the song of Violin,
Clear and sweet as mating birds.
Weave them blithely, out and in,
Rhymes involved and intricate,
AS a spinner joys to spin.
As a weaver is like fate,
Weaving threads in fair design,
So your verses, soon or late,
Weave a story, line on line,
And, like fate, unfold a tale,
Merry, tragic, base or fine.
Weave me music, do not fail,
Silver music, like the flute
Whose sheer magic can prevail
When the violins are mute:
Weave me music like the flute!

CHAPTER XI
Eddie lay on his face on the
pavement.
A man ran out to him from
the other side Of the street.
He reached him before Sharlie
did and carried him into the
cigar store.
Sharlie followed him, sobbing
under her breath.
Have to telephone for an am
bulance," she heard him say.
His voice sounded faint and
far away. The lights in the
store seemed to turn purple as
she looked at them-then
everything went dark.
She never knew that she
tainted. 1t seemed to her that
she closed her eyes, and when
she opened them again the
little store was filled with
people. She was sitting on a
chair behind the counter.
Two men, all in white, were
putting Eddie on stretcher.
She had a glimpse of his face.
It was white as wax and his
eyes were closed.
where are they taking him?"
she asked the man who had
brought him into the store.
ITO Charity Hospital"
She got up from the chair
where she was sitting.
"I've got to go, too," she said.
~I'm his wife"
The man nodded. "I'll call a
cab if you think you feel all
right" he answered, looking at
her doubtfuuy. Sure you aren't
feeling shaky?"
I'm all right. thanks. But
don't call a cab. I have a
car" she told him. May I use
your telephone?"
She telephoned Eddie's father
and told him she would meet
him at the hospital in IS
minutes. Then she went across
the slippery wet street and
climbed into Eddie's car.
A Horrible Dream
It seemed to her as If she
were driving through a dream
that night. Nothing seemed
real. Even the thick, dark, sub
stantial walls of Charity Hos
pital looked unreal to her when
she drove up before them and
stopped the car.
She was going up the steps to
the front entrance when Ed

Advice to the Love|orn
By Beatrice Fairfax

does not make any effort to
find work, and nags her son for
money night and day. He is will
ing to help her whenever he
can, but there is a limit.
What shall I do? Shall I tell
this boy to choose between his
mother and me, or shall I give
him up entirely? I can see a
very miserable married life
ahead, with his mother inter-
fering and causing trouble.
WORRIED.
To give the older woman her
due, it Is almost impossible
these days for such women to
find work, even if they are will
ing and anxious to be indepen-
dent. You find so much to
criticize in this young mans
mother that 7 cannot possibly
see how you two would get
along together under one roof;
and it would be most unwise to
attempt such an arrangement.
All said and done, it seems to
me that the decision is up to
the young man-whether he
wishes to put his mother in an
institution, or marry you.
There seems to be no other so
luton Of the problem. But be-
fore influencing him to do this,
it might be well to bear in
mind that a good son is sup
posed to make good husband.

} support for spades z jumped to
3-Spades; A topped him with
4-Hearts; Y ventured 4-Spades;
B doubled, expecting his Q of
spades to win a trick. Both z
and A passed. Y should have
done the same. Had he done
so his doubled contract would
have been bagged. Instead, Y
redoubled, B and z passed, but
A went 5-Hearts, which was
doubled, and went down only
single trick. This was far
better than allowing opponents
to fulfill a game contract
doubled, to say nothing Of the
redouble.
Ordinarily a redouble means
two things: that the one
doubled can fulfill his contract,
and that further bidding by the
opponents will yield the equal
of the doubled contract. This
was far from being the case
with the above hand.
Sometimes a redouble is made
when the one doubled knows
that the contract cannot be
made, and expects that the
redouble will drive an opponent
into further bidding, so that
the adverse contract may be
doubled and defeated. The
hands below illustrate this
phase of the redouble.

Doesn't Look Very Hopeful
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 20 and in love with a
girl year younger. She is
awfully pretty, but alas! I
am no prize-winner. I saw
her last night, and I haven't
got over it yet. We were at a,
dance, and when I asked her
to dance she got out of it, but
danced all evening with other
fellows, and sometimes with
girls. I asked her for date,
but she said she wasn't go
ing out yet. Her cousin told
me she is conceited, and thinks
far too much of herself. Still
I can't help being attracted to
this girl, and I'd like very much
to win her. S. q. {.
I am afraid the only con-
ISOLATION I can hand out to
you, my dear boy, is that girls
sometimes change. And when
they downright unfriendly, as
this girl seems to have been
in refusing to dance or accept
q date from you, they some
times turn around and go into
reverse, and are as devoted as
they were once capricious.
He's 13 Years Older and Married
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I'm
a girl of II, and am very much
in love with a man of 80, who
is married. He is quite fond
Of me, too, and sees me every
chance he gets. His wife isn't
jealous, but makes opportunl-
ties for us to be together. We
have been going together for a
long time, and I am so much
in love with him that I care
nothing for boys of my own
age. Would you advise me what
to do. DOT.
Sometimes wives act like this
lady and throw their husbands
with girls, when they are look
ing about for a convenient CO.
respondent III ulVOLCS CdSc'
It's not a very wholesome sign
on the part of wife. my dear;
and I would advise you to
watch your step. You're en-
tirely too young to be thinking
seriously of any man, especially
one who is married; and I sin
cerely hope for your own sake
that you are going to quit this
most undesirable friendship.

IF you feel you know pretty much
all there is to know about the
common wildf1owers, and that on
i sight you can recognize the family
of plant at once, it is time to
take an interest, certain to make you
feel more modest, in some OF the un-
common flowers
Even without involving yourself in
the technical difficulties of grasses and
sedges and rushes, there are some
fascinating, really very lovely wild
flowers belonging to odd families that
will give you an exciting chase through
whatever manuals you use. Indeed, II
YOU employ only those little pocket
book guides. in somewhat bleary colors
and best adapted to New England in
Spring, the probabilities are that you
will get nowhere in piecing your puzzle
together. There are more things IN
heaven and earth than are dreamed
of by botanizirg, ladies.
One of these <is the valerian family.
The names sounds familiar, but few
of us could exactly tell you what
valeriaf1 looks like. At flower show
in Washington one year some valerian
was brought in and mystifled even
botanists who were present; its pale
pink tubular corollas and its curious
numerology-five cordoba lobes, but
three stamenS-and its curious calyx
lobes like the down on a thistle seed,
are mystifying.
The flower of valerian seems to have
borrowed a little something from many
other families in structure; 1t remlnos
you of half dozen families and be-
longs to none. Its actual technlcal
definition anybody can look up 1or
himself; a few people, perhaps, grow

Garden heliotrope," really valerian,

restaurants around Paris it Is consid-
cred a first-class delicacy, when 1t is
tender, and I am of the same per-
suasion. But I rarely see 1t in the

Our wild valerian Zone species) is a

It seems, like SO many OF our most
interesting plants, to be confined to-
the islands and shores OF the upper
Potomac, from High Island to Plum
mers Island And the odd part OF this
is that so are the rest of the family;
at least, all the native species, which
consist of three kinds of valerianella,
with white flowers. They are found
only around High Island, Chain Bridge,

you control the time factor in your
own suit. You may expect to run f1Ve

and the no trump bid would no longer
be advisable You cannot run the clubs
until the ace has been forced out; only
if your partner has hearts Is the hand
safe in no trumps. If the adversaries
have the other heart honorS and the ace

play clubs and let them in to run the
rest of their hearts against you. The
time factor is not in your favor, as
they will establish their suit before you

If to three hearts or three in another
suit, bid three no trumps and that will

If your partners first response was
not a heart, but no trump, bid two
no trumps-a strong invitation to him
to rebid unless he was on the verge of
passing your original bid. If your part
ner's first response, over a club, is a
diamond or spade, bid two no trumps
and continue to three no trumps, as you
now have his suit to play for immedi-
ately instead of your own club suit, and
it is important that the probable OPEN

The very interesting question now

The chairman of such q committee

one is taken the chairs word is the law.
Senator Glass has shown on several
occasions that the conduct of the Nor

and has been open in his criticism Of
the way the counsel has handled the
different witnesses.
These clashes with Ferdinand Pecora,
