sleek dinner coat on his back.
Great drum shaped searchhghts

look of waxen artificiality. d,
Here in the balmy open air,
amid Babylonian columns with
the starry sky overhead and
marble mosaicS undertoot,
mingled the most beautiful
women and the best-fed men on
earth. The rabble-too far
back to smell the expensive
perfume+was held in check by
ropes and policemen who wore
white gloves for the unusual
occasion.
Whenever a polished motor
car brought up another star, or
even an established featured
player, the multitudes on the
sidewalk cheered and clapped
hands. The announcer's ex-
cited voice began to fall over
itself.

Have Your Blood
Pressure Taken


Why should one have ones
blood pressure taken regularly
at least once a year, let us say.
First of all, as we grow older
our blood pressure mounts, and
it may and often does go higher
than is normal; secondly, if we
can catch high blood pressure
in the making, as it were, we
can accomplish great deal in
checking not only disorders Of
the arteries, but of the kidneys
and heart as we'll.
Perhaps you have been i'm
pressed by the number of promi-
nent persons who in recent
months have been reported in
the newspapers as dying Of
heart disease. These accounts,
Of course, did not include the
thousands of others who have
succumbed t oheart disease but
did not achieve headline dis
tinction.
The point I am trying to
make is that high blood pres

itself, a disease. 1t is, however,
a sign that all is not as we'll as

frequently is caused by disor-
dered heart or by kidneys that
are not functioning normally,
and often the first suspicious
sign that presents itself to the
patient, or specifically to his
physician, is a blood pressure

than it should be.
There are cases, to be sure,
where the primary cause for
high blood pressure and conse-
quent hardening of the arteries
or a reverse condition where
hardening of the arteries caused
the high pressure-was some
thing different from kidney or
heart disturbances. Worry can
send the pressure up-a purely
mental cause-while excessive use
of alcohol, overeating, too much
work and too little rest, or too
much coffee, tea or drugs may
also be melting factors. Never
theless, even in such cases there
is the likelihood that the heart

more or less fatal. The high

for white, bead-like masses in

Advice to the LoveIorn

7 don't know? I cannot bear
to lose this fascinating boy
friend who already is all the
world to me. And pretty soon
he is sure to find out how
stupid I am"
Dear little Simplicity" I'm
sure you are unnecessarily
alarmed. You seem to me in
no danger whatever of losing
your boy friend. A boy whose
usual girl associates are just a
little too knowing, just a little
too indiscreet in their speech,
is likely to be enchanted by a
girl who, like himself, is genu.
inely honest and good, and who
reveals her delicious unWorld-
illness in every word she utters.
It would be a great mistake.
I should say, for you to try to
enamel yourself with a hasty
coat of unreal sophistication. I
am sure the boy you wish to
please wouldn't like you half as
we'll.
And anyway, it couldn't be
done. Unless you are a greater
actress than I suspect you Of
being, you wouldn't deceive
single soul.
Since you are bent on know
ing the alphabet of worldly wis
dom, acquire it by degrees. In
your present environment, this
will require no effort on your
part.
Meanwhile, let your romance
develop naturally and happily.

that the boy friend likes you for

Once more we go into the
question Of American designed
clothes, and this time because
they are being exploited in
Washington at prices that
might tempt us all. It's the
first time that these things
have been shown with the
names of the designers given
out. Instead Of a Chanel copy,
you can have a Claire Potter
original. Not that the Amer
ican designers are necessarily
in competition with Paris, be.
cause they take many ideas
from across the water, but they,
too, have to present collections
at the same time the openings
are being held in Paris, and
they must think Just as far
ahead, must be just as right in
their planning. They work on
the same principles, follow the
successes at the end of last sea-
son, adapt their ideas to the
women they design for and the
, lives those women lead. The
results are pretty much the
same, no matter where you
find them.
Now In Washington
You may be familiar with
such American designers as An
nette Simpson, Elizabeth Halves,
Muriel King. But these women
will not make clothes for most
of us, simply because we can't
afford them. Other American
designers make them for us,
and most of us never heard
their names. But a clever New
York store, realizing how much
we owe these women, has de-
cided to give out the facts
about them, and to give you
their names along with the
clothes. A washington store
followed suit, and is showing
things by three Of them, Alice
Smith, Claire Potter and Ruth
Payne.
Smart Cord Belt
Claire Potter is well known
for her clever use of silk, the
ways she cuts it, puts colors
together, makes a smooth dress.
Alice Smith is better known
for the way she uses textures,
particularly those with a rough
surface. We've sketched two
of her dresses that show you
better than I can explain. One
is of blue or brown linen with
a natural crash jacket. Not
only is the coat rough and tull

other dress is of black or navy

while the other dress is $29.50.

South went 3-No Trumps; West,

The opening lead was the K
of clubs. Dummy'S Ace won.
Two rounds of diamonds pulled

one trump in dummy. The de-
clarer led one spade, to gain
entry to dummy, to lead an
other club, which he trumped.
He found that West had no
more clubs. To have bid 2
Hearts it was probable that
West had the K-Q of that suit.
If that were true, the declarer
could make a small slam.
The declarer led his last spade,
taking out dummy's last spade.
West held neither clubs nor dia-
monds.
Declarer and dummy held no
spades. A low heart was led
from dummy, through VESTS
K-Q-10. What was West to do?
If he passed the trick the de-
clarer's j would win, and
dummy's Ace of hearts must
win the next trick. This would
insure a small slam for the de-
claring side. Vests Q of
hearts won the trick. # West
led back a spade, the declarer
would discard a heart and
dummy would ruff the trick.
Then dummy's Ace of hearts
would win the next trick. That
also would yield North a small
slam. If West led back a heart,
after having won his single
trick in that suit, declarer's j
would win a low lead, and
dummy's Ace would win the last
trick. If West led back high

then declarer's j would win the
