The Borrower

The Borrower
So many things borrowed
And took them home once
more,
A bowl for figs, a strip Of silk
To drape across the door.
So many things borrowed
And, when their use was
through,
I took them back with utmost
pains,
All just as good as new.
And one day when I needed
Loves hand to ease my care,
To weave a potent spell Of joy
Like rainboWs in the air,
I borrowed love to soothe me
And make my hours bright;
And now I find I cannot live
In lack Of its delight!
So it has made me liar,
And it has made me thief;
I'll hold love here forever,
And that will be too brief!

When gray has a blue cast,
rouge and lipstick of raspberry

gray is kinder to the skin,
doesn't mind if the blush and
lipstick are a fairly bright,

one should use rouge of a de-

Hysteria. Due to the Mind, May
Have Serious Effects

HySteria, Due to the Mind, May
Have Serious Effects
Although hysteria is dis
tinctly a functional nerve dis
order and does not involve
structural changes of any kind
in the nerves themselves, it
may stimulate any known phys
ical disease, no matter what its
kind.
Hysterical states, therefore,
may give rise to fever, or a
rash and lead to the aSsump-
ton that an individual has
contracted a contagion. Men
tai upsets in infinite variety
may be caused by hysteria.
Pain may be present and may
be severe. Even so serious a
condition as blindness or pa
ralysis may not be organic at
all but only hysterical in char
aCter.
One must not assume, how
ever, that hysteria is not Sc
rious, or that such patients do
not suffer. HysteriCal states
may change the entire course
of a persons life, rendering
him or her, as the case may
be, positively miserable. What's
more, such a condition may
readily become chronic and
run on for years, and the
longer hysteria has lasted the
harder it is to cure.
Yes, whatever the hysterical
manifestation may be, it is al
ways due to the mind!
Probably this is the reason
why a patient with hysteria
receives so little understanding
and even less sympathy. Peo-
pie are inclined to believe that
if a cause is mental the upset
is more or less imaginary and
"fake" anyway, and that the
patient in question could over
come his symptoms if he really
tried hard enough.
Nothing could be further
from the truth. Mental dis
orders, no matter what their
specific origin. are as devaS-
tating and as real as any bona
fide" organic disease. When a
person is laid low with an
hysterical paralysis, he is un-
able to walk, he cannot move a
muscle, and the fact that the
nerves and muscles in the af-
fected limbs are sound can
scarcely be considered a COM
forting thought.
During the Great War, I had
occasion to diagnose young
man of 20 who was in the
Navy, and who had contracted
hySterical blindness. The cause,
of course, was mental. In sum-
mary this was the story.

Advice For
The ove|0rn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Do Boys Think College Girls
Are Too HighbrOw For Wives?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
was graduated from the
high school last term, and was
elected class president. Mother
and Dad want me to go on to
college, but I'm undecided
about that. Do boys think of a
college girl as highbrow and
give her the air? I've heard
they do. Besides I'm not fond
of study. I haven't any particu-
lar boy in mind as a husband,
but I don't want to be an old
maid.
My dream is a nice little
houSe-not an ap rtment,
thank you-a garden, an ador-
ing husband and three well-be-
haved children. I shouldn't
want to sacrifice this dream
of mine, even for a college edu-
cation. What do you think?
LUCY w.
I hope you may get all these
things, Lucy, but they strike
me as rather a large order,
considering the times. Still,
Women-everyday women, not
fairy story ladies-have actu-
ally realized such multiple
blessings as house, garden,
adorlng husband and three
Well-behaVed children. And
here's hoping you do as well.
AS you're only II and have
no particular boy in mind,
you probably imagine the
dream husband as only a few
years older than you are.
Trut' tn tell, my dear, very
young husbands are not apt
to remain adoring.
House and garden are uSu-
ally the prizes of thrift over
a lon period, unless the dream
husband 4.appenS to have in
herited money, a condition that
is increasingly rare in these
days.
Unless you have a real urge
to go to college, why consider
it at all? Students who go
to college to please their
parents are more apt to be
liability than an asset.
To answer another of your
questionS-modern boys do not
regard college girls as their
grandfathers did. There are
too many jolly girls with de-
grees today who contest in
athletics with boys-swim, hike,
row races with them for the
old smile of the sturdy oak
and the clinging vine to hold
good.

voluntary, and he had joined
up out of a sense of patriotism.
This was his conscious reaction.
On the other hand, deep down
in his unconscious mind, his
self preservation instinct had
caused him to be afraid.
A mental conflict arose. His
ego instinct, which had prompt
ed his patriotism, began to fight
his self-preservation instinct.
For a time the former was the
victor, and he entered the war;
but as soon as he was assigned
to a submarine chaser. the self
preservation instinct-plus fear
got the upper hand.
AS is the case in all mental
conflicts, a compromise was et-
fected. In consequences his
mind made him blind; that is,
unable to see danger. At least,

Although all cases of hysteria
do not have causative mental
mechanisms as dramatic as
this, there can be no question
but what unconscious conflicts
are always responsible.
DIR. BiSCh'S Daily Diet Hint
Overeating is as bad as un-
dereating. Just because we like
a certain dish is no reason for
overlooking. Not only does this
put a strain on the digestive
apparatus; it may also pro-
duce a mental effect by way
of a "defense mechanism" to

An Inappropriate Gift

[AA OAAV
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please inform me
whether it is appropriate or
necessary for a secretary to
give a gift to her employer who
is about to be married? If so,
what is an appropriate gift?
The secretary has been con-
nected with the concern for
about five years.
It certainly isn't a bit "neces-
sary," and to my taste it isn't
a bit appropriate" for a secre-
tary to give a wedding present
to the bride-to-be Of her en-
ployer. If the gift is given, it
must, you know, be sent to the
bride to-be, at her home; and
this is true whether or not you
know her.
You seem not very enthusi-
astic about sending the gift,
and so, if l were you, l wouldn't
send it.

We'll make it up on Honey
wonder. What thoroughly
uncomfortable, unsatisfactory
afternoon! To think that she
had chosen to come here de-
liberately.
The second race was run.
Then came the third, the
Blanchard Handicap, the fea-
ture of the afternoon. Despite
herself Patricia felt stir of
interest. This was Clark's race.
Honey Boy was not a general
favorite but the horse was con-
fidently expected to win by
Tracy's friends. People called
encouragement from adjoining
boxes and sent over notes
scrawled on the edges Of pro-
grams. A woman caught Clark's
eye, raised gloved hands and
clapped in silent pantomime.
One man lifted his flask, bowed
to their party and gravely drank
to victory. Clark himself was
II hope so" said Clark
shortly.
Startled by Clark'S tone, Pa
tricia suspected that the two
men were at outs. For q fleet
ing instant she had the curious
feeling that Clark hated Julian.
An insane idea, of course. She
dismissed it Immediately. Clark,
she thought, was still offended

night of the tournament. No

flushed and excited, all horse
man now.
(Which one is Honey Boy?"
demanded Patricia.
"Our colors are purple" said
Clark absently, watching the
huddle at the starting post in
tently and anxiously through
his glasses. will you excuse
me, please?" He hurried away
to lose himself in the crowd at
the fence.
Honey Boy Wins
The gun went off. A false
start. One jockey seesawed up
and down violently attempting
to get his horse into line again.
Now they were off! The girl
was swept by the excitement
around her. She Surged to her
feet with the others, clutched
at the nearest arm, Phil's arm,
shouting wildly for Honey Boy.
The track was a blur of color.
Honey Boy, Honey Boy,
Honey Boy"
They were all chanting it.
Patricia picked out the purple
silks as the horses thundered
past, swift, incredibly beautiful
in action. Honey Boy was lead
ing. Three times the horses
circled the track. Honey Boy
was leading. He was an easy
winner. The crowd went in
sane with joy.
"I guess" said Phil, weak
from reaction, II guess the
drinks are on Clark tonight,
after winning that purse. I'd
rather own Honey Boy than
the mint"
The amount of the purse
made Patricia gasp. Thrilled
and proud to incoherence,
Clark rejoined them, praising
his jockey, praising his stables,
praising his splendid, splendid
horse. Honey Boy would be an
other Man of War! That horse
had a fighting heart! It was
evident that the money end of
it had for him no significance.
His pride was the pride of the
discoverer. From the first he
had known that Honey Boy
had the stuff. He had known
it from the moment that he
saw him as a colt.

Correct Manners

should the girls mother invite
the young man? B.
The girl may properly sug-
gest the invitation first, but
the girls mother should follow
up this indirect invitation by
a. direct one from herself, the
hostess of the home. A short
note of invitation, or a tele-
phoned invitation, if the
mother knows the young man,
is the way to do it. This sort
of social gesture is very i'm

Are your glasses focused
properly?" asked Clark.
'Not quite"
Here, let me fix them?"
His hand touched her hand,
fingered. He said in low
voice, You are very beautiful
this afternoon"
Exquisite words. They fell
like healing balm on Patricia's
spirit. Maybe the situation
was not so terrible after all.
Perhaps soon she might explain
everything to Clark. Surely he
would understand and see her
side Of it. She had been fool
ish, reckless, imprudent. But
she had done nothing wrong.
He would understand that she
had done nothing wrong.

dreamily, you must love your

ly as he edged his chair around.

''What do you mean ON YOU?
You have no interest in the

What are you two quarrel
ing about, Philip" demanded
Marthe, diverting her attention
from Julian for the moment.
"Patricia," replied Clark
promptly.
Cross Purposes
$50 you are a heartbreaker,
are you, Patricia Haverholt?"
asked Marthe, cooking her head
On one side, openly measuring
the other. ''I might have
guessed it Of Julian's niece"
"A base canard," rumbled
Julian. "I've never found a
woman willing to be faithful
to me-"
Liar" said Marthe softly.
Her eyes and Julian's met.
Patricia happened to glimpse
Clark's face just then. 1t was
very dark. The afternoon was
full of undercurrents, strange
and disturbing. Patricia had
an illusion that they were, all
of them, at cross purposes.
Her own fear was comprehen-
sible. The rest was not. Marthe
and Clark seemed oddly aloof
in their treatment of each
other, too polite, too studiedly
careless and Indifferent. Had
they quarrelled before their ap-
pearance at the track? Was
Marthe striving with Julian's
help to make Clark jealous?
Was Clark carrying on a coun-
ter campaign? 1t wasn't fun
any more. Nothing was fun.
Patricia smiled fixedly, listen
ing to Clark's tales of Honey
Boys prowess, nodding occa-
Sionally.
Am I boring you with this?"
he asked anxiously.
"Not Bit" she said brightly,
unconvincingly. Il love horse

why not watch it them"
suggested Phil, bitterly.
Clark and Patricia looked
hastily and guiltily toward the
track. People around them
were shouting and screaming.
Women waved their handker-
chiefs. The first race was
under way. The favorite was
neck in neck with a rank out
slider, exciting if you liked it.
Patricia for one didn't care
whether Black Son out of
Black Sire ran faster than

cared, though, once his at
tention had been brought to
the matter. He had fifty dol

North, 6-Clubs; East, Pass;
South, 7-Clubs, to show solid
tops in diamonds. There should
be no double when both MEM
bers of the declaring side show
no losers in both opposing suits.
The hand should be bid for
a grand slam, and a grand slam
can easily be made against any
defense possible for East and
West, regardless Of what the
opening lead may be, but North
must not try to trump more
than a single spade.
If an opening lead Of spades
is made, play as follows:
dummy will trump; take two
rounds of trumps, pulling down
every opposing club, then lead
declarer's Ace of hearts. That
will give the declarer his first
four tricks, leaving each player
with nine cards. The declarer
will have three spades, one
diamond and five trumpS.
What East has does not matter.
Dummy will hold seven dia-
monds and two hearts. West
will have four spades and five
diamonds.
Now squeeze West by lead"
ing five rounds of trumps. On
the first four trumps West will
let go three spades, retaining
his Ace, and he will let go
one diamond. But what Is
West to do when all players
excepting himself have dis
carded to the fifth lead OF
trumps? The holdings about

either his Ace of spades or an
other diamond.
