WASHINGTON FASHIONS ByWAmo LoNNe

IT want an inexpensive dress,
but a smart one, to fill in from
now till Easter" That has
been the desire of so many
women, that we decided we'd
better round up some and
sketch them. OF course, there
are many types to choose from,
but from all of them we de-
cided that perhaps the best
bet is a printed frock. There
are plain and printed combi-
nations too, especially good
when they are composed of
dress and jacket. There are
new sheer woods, especially
smart when they are in pas
tells or rather vivid colorS. But
for general all-around wear,
and for something you can
carry into the spring, nothing
can surpaSS a print.
Year after year we've been
expecting prints to suffer an
eclipse, because it just didn't
seem possible for anything to
have such a long run. But
then each spring they come
back in such new patterns,
such fresh colors and comni-
nations, that they look better
to uS than ever. And there's
nothing more practical. Not
only are they splendid for wear
right now under a winter coat
that would look too dull ether
wise, but they are the most
practical of all garments for
wear on the street when the
weather gets really hot. They
do not show wear, and look
fresh much longer than any
thing else.
We've chosen two frocks for
Sketching that are as remark
able for their price as they
are smart. On the seated fig
ure you see a rough crepe
printed in striped flower pat
tern. 1t comes in green, red
or blue. The buttons down
the sleeves, the high-tied neck,
and matching suede belt are
good fashion points. The
other dress is of printed
plaid effect also on rough
crepe. 1t comes in brown or
red, with puffed sleeves and
white crepe ascot tie. These
frocks, in junior sizes, II to II,
are priced only $3.95. There
are other styles of the same
prints and of other materials,
equally as smart.
For fashion information, or
for the name of the store
where you can find these
dresses, write Miss Laville, en-
closing Self-addressed, stamped
envelope, or cali District $3.50,

Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Bisch


If there is one country in the
world where creature comforts
are taken care of it is the
United States. Nowhere are
there so many convenienceS
thought out for ease, saving of
labor and enjoyment. We lead
all nations in the way we are
housed, fed, clothed and cared
for generally. Indeed, we make
of perslSAal comfort a sort of
fetish, to be worshiped with un-
tagging zeal.
Excellent as such a program
of life may be, there is no gain
saying the fact that when a
human being becomes used to
comfort, and even luxury, it
does not take long before he
accepts them as a matter Of
course; that values such as
these which we might designate
as materialistic pleasures quickly
stale.
Then what's left? Do we
really feel satisfied when the
craving for comfort and owner
ship has been appeased? Are
we content and happy simply
because we have managed
finally To own a car, palatial
home, yacht, perhaps, or a
kitchen in which everything is
run by electricity?
No; life demands more than
creature comforts if it is to be
a full and well-rounded life
the only kind of life that is
deeply gratifying. AS a sort Of
background, life must be COM
Portable; but, in addition, it
must rouse within ourselves that
Intangible something which may
be called the spirit.
The needs of the spirit, the

CLOGGED BOWELS
EXACT THEIR PRICE

Don't imagine that you can shock
your system every few days with
laxatives and fail to pay the price.
Laxatives and purges rob the deli
cate membrane lining of your bow
els of moisture and elasticity, so that
you have to continue drugging more
and more to spur your reluctant
bowels to action. Almost before you
realize your peril, you're laxative
slave. Digestive troubles develop,
headaches, dizzy spells and bilious
ness follow. An operation for piles
or other intestinal trouble may
result.
But you can free yourself from
laxative slavery and constipation
quickly and easily with Cream Of
Nujol treatment.
This new form of Nujol is spe-
cially suited to sufferers from
chronic constipation. It soothes and
comforts the bowels, absorbs poi
sons, and helps the peristaltic action
which alone can dispose of wastes
naturally.
Start the new harmless Cream of
Nujol treatment tonight. 1t is deli
cious to take and costs you only a
few cents day.
Stop at your druggists and get q

ease. Material blessings alone
will not do; superlative living
demands nourishment for the
spirit as well, no matter how
hard we may try to ignore its
insistent demands.
Therefore, while increasing
our creature comforts and max
ing use of all the wonderful
adjuncts for enjoyment that
present-day life has to offer.

our emotional character which
has to do with the subtler
values.
Let us not be satisfied merely
with detective fiction, for in.
stance, but let us learn how to
enjoy books that deal with
more searching character analy-
ses. Let us also look for the
beauty that lies in poetry. Let
us experiment until we have
developed a taste for sculpture,
painting and the better music.
Let us not merely pass the time
witnessing any old gind of mo-
ton picture, but let us, instead,
be selective, choosing for our
dram tic fare mostly that
which is truly inspiring and
stimulating.
Then be sure to get your fill
of nature. Consider the fields,
the woods and the sea. Seek
out the joys of color harmony,
of color contrast; likewise the
esthetic delight to be got from
pleasing design.
Lastly, it must be remem.
bered that, just as the gratifi-
cation of the animal side of us
quickly loses it's thrill from
overdoses, so also does the
spiritual side of our natures die
from disuse. IN fact, the longer
we wait the harder it is to
elicit the richest responses; and
it may easily happen, when fl
nally we are satiated with
worldly comforts and turn to
the spirit for help, that we
find we have waited too long.

Interesting Bridge Hands
By E. V. SHEPARD

B let the 10 of spades hold
the trick in dummy.
Dummy led a low heart, and
the declarer ruffed, trying to
establish that long suit in
dummy. Then the declarer led
his Ace and K of spades, but
he was unable to pick up BIS @.
Dummy was put in the lead
by winning a low club with its
@. Another heart was led from
dummy and trumped by the de-
clarer, establishing three hearts
in dummy, upon which to dis
card the declarer's two low dia-
monds, provided he was able to
do this without having B ruff
and spoil the play.
The declarer felt morally Ger
tain that A held the missing K
of diamonds, because that
player had not led a diamond.
Most players would have led a
diamond and attempted to win
the trick with dummy's J-and
thus have lost the game. z was
an old stager, who never liked to
gamble upon his ideas when he
had a certain way of accom-
plishing his purpose with safety.
z led his last trump, putting B
in the lead with his only trump,
and obliging B to lead up to
dummy. B led a club. 2 won
the truck. Dummy'S Ace of dia-
monds enabled z to discard his
two diamonds on dummy'S
hearts, and go game.

Threatens To Send Her Away
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 18. and feel I'm at an
age where I should be allowed
to go out and enjoy myself.
But my father is much opposed
to it. When occasionally I go
out, my dad makes a row and
tells me he can send me away
till I'm 81 for bringing boy
friends to the house.

as work Is scarce, and that's
the reason he says he can do
with me as he wants. He has
old-fashioned ideas in choosing
the man he wants me to marry,
and especially one of his own
nationality. I'm very heart
broken while writing this.
Please advise me.
DEPRESSED.
When a girl has reached the
age of 18; it seems to me that
her parents should let her en-
joy her youth a little. And
they would be very wise to let
her bring the boys and girls
with whom she associates to
the home, where they may have
an opportunity of judging their
daughters type of friends.
If a girl is a well-behaved
and creditable girl, there is no
law by which her father can
send her away till she is 81.
Hard as the situation is, try
to be patient. Eighteen is

UnwelcOme Because He Drank
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I went for six months with
a girl and we both fell in love
with each other and are now
engaged. She is an orphan,
who lives with her brother and
sister-in-law, but the latter
won't let me enter the house
because I drink too much. I
love my fiancee so much that
promised her I wouldn't
drink any more, but it is no
use-if I go with her she'll
have to get out of that house
and have no home. I'd marry
her, only my job isn't enough
for two to live on just now.
L. E. r.
"The way of the transgressor
is hard" You are paying the
penalty of drinking too much
and having to prove to your
girls family that you really in
tend to do better.
Either see them, or write
them a letter, and ask them
to put you on probation for a
given time. Then, if you keep
straight and don't drink, per-
haps they'll accept you as the
girls fiance. But don't think
of marrying till your salary
will enable you to have a
home. It's a great mistake
these days to marry on next
to nothing.

CHAPTER XVI

When the toasts were drunk.

tilted her glass of sparkling
red burgundy, and trilled a
line or two of a little French
song about Amour" in the
prettieSt manner.
The little Toronto bride who
was very much enamoured of
the six-foot husband at her
side, sprang up with glass OF
champagne in her hand, calling
out loudly: "Yes, yes! Let's
drink to loves young dream
to us to Barry and
Loranda!"
Judith contrived to laugh, as
outWardly gay as any of the
rest, though her heart was a
raw anguish.
When dinner was over, Barry
came directly to her.

when they've had a drink or
two! It's only their fun" he
said awkwardly.

all out for a good time? I'm
enjoying myself tremendously"
declared Judith.
And-so that he would not
see the misery of her hurt
just as the music of a
jolly orchestra struck up, she
grabbed Jack Ordway by the
arm, exclaiming: Come on!
Let's dance! Let's show 'em
how! I've some new steps up
my sleeve, big boy! Let's at it!"

her off, pleased at the turn of
events. and holding pretty Jul
dith close to him.
Not only the first dance, but
the second dance was his.
Driven by her disappointment,
and a bitterness that Barry
should so be made a tool,
Judith determined to be gay
and flirtatious as the rest of
them. Her pride was hurt.
That toast at the dinner table
that had coupled Barry with
another!

She overdid her part, as
amateurs usually do, and per-
mitted Jack to lead her off to
q cosy nook that was screened
off by a bank of ferns at the
far end of the entrance hall,
and sat with him there for a
long time.

fact to go unmarked. She

when he wanted to go in
search of Judith.

In the sweetest way in the

the effect that she did hope the
naive little country girl, who

back-of-beyond into a social at
