BIGGEST SURPRISES

The downfall of the New York Yankees in baseball. the debacls of the American tennis team in Davis cup competitor aboard and the collapse of Notre Danes foot ball fortunes undoubtedly furnish the main surprises of 1883.
 Individually the defeats of Hell en Wills Moody in tennis and Els worth Vines supplied sensational episodes. Johnny Goodman's first round defeat by the veteran Cham dler Egan in the national amateur tournament was golf's major upset, but this game is accustomed to such developments.

Observing
Wedding
Date
BY Mrs. Beeckman-

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. I have been invited to at
tend a formal dinner given by
a young couple to celebrate
their first wedding anniversary.
Should one send a gift in ad-
vance of the dinner to the
couples home? Or should it be
presented the night Of the din
ner? The affair is not to be
held at home, but in a hotel.
2. What would be an appro-
pirate gift for this occasion?
8. Then, too, does one con-
gratulate the couple upon greet
ing them the night Of the din
ner? q.
/. It isn't necessary either to
give or send a present on such
an occasion, but is a pleasant
thing to do, if you wish. 1t
depends somewhat, too, on what
is the custom Of the commu-
nifty in which you live. Some
communities are more present
giving conscious" than others.
Since this is to be q formal
dinner. and is not to be given
at their home, it would seem
more appropriate to send the
gift to their home on the morn
ing Of the anniversary. This
procedure also would be simpler
where there is any doubt as to
what the other guests are plan
ming to do about giving pres
ents to the couple.
2. Some gift for their home
would be the proper and ap-
propriate kind of present to
give. For such an "early" ami
versary, the gift wouldn't be as
consequential a one as you
would probably give for an an
niversary that registered more
= years, such as the twentieth or
the tWenty-fifth. But again
this would depend on what you
wish to do, and how well you
know these hosts. Your gift
might even, if you wish, take
the form Of a lovely box Of
flowers to be sent that day
to their home. This would be
in especially good taste if you
do not know these hosts very
well.
8. Yes, as you greet your
hosts, you would include in your
greeting your friendly congratu.
lations on the occasion. And,
indeed, too, as you leave, you
would say something about the
significance Of the occasion and
your wishes for many more
such happy anniversaries for
them.

alCernaCeIy over one eye anu
then over the other.
When, say, the left eye is
covered and the right eye makes
lis really forced to make-an
outward or inward movement
in order to keep the object
gazed at in focus, then it means
that that particular eye, the
right, was squirting previously,
either inward or outward.
Although this test may be
made by anyone, the exact
measurement Of StrabismuS is a
difficult matter and requires the
services of a specialist.
There are cases in childhood
where the squint is eventual
ly outgrown. Suitable glasses
should always be used and no
chances taken. In such cases
correcting lenses are employed
which force the eyeball to ro-
tate to normal positions while
the individual is focusing on
any object, and without delib-
Grafton. In this way weak eye
ball muscles are exercised con-
tinually and therefore strength
ened. After a while the patient
can do without such correcting
glasses altogether and finds
himself cured of his disorder.
Operation on one or more
eye muscles may also be done.
This is usually advisable in
stubborn cases and in those
which have existed for a period
of years. The results of opera
ton may be permanently bene-
ficial and they may only be
partially so. An oculist's opin-
ion on such a procedure is al
ways to be recommended as a
guide.
At any rate, before an opera
ton is considered it is always
wise to try corrective lenses
and special eye muscle exer-
ciSes for six months or a year.
AS regards children, operative
interference for Strabismus is
not indicated before the age Of
seven years.

WASH SHIINCTON FASHIONS

The two-piece is back. It's
been on the way for two or
three seasons, but this spring it
will undoubtedly stage the
comeback that has been prophe-
cized for it so long. It's a most
comfortable and flattering style,
much easier for most women to
wear than the high-fitted waist
line and skirt with no break in
it. It's practical fashion, too,
in this year Of compose cos
tunes, when you can wear a
blouse of one color and a skirt
of another, for with one good
skirt, you can have several tops,
and quite a change Of costume.
In WOmen's Sizes
We've sketched a typical two
piece costume, with so many
fashion points that 1t will take
a good deal of space to enum-
crate them. But the most i'm
portant thing about it Is that
a woman's dress, becoming and
suitable for a person Of quite
large proportions. It is of a
light weight corded crepe, al
most sheer, but not transparent.
This is quite a departure from
the very rough crepes we have
been having, and shows some
tendency toward change, back
again to the smooth fabrics. It
is black, but may be obtained
in colors, too. The blouse is
tucked all the way up, to give
1t that necessary weight fora
smooth fit, and the tucks run
down on the skirt, to give long
lines.
Necklines Higher
All necklines have a tendency
to be higher, and this boat neck
is one Of the newest ways Of
gaining height. You will see
it on many new dresses this
spring. The cuffs and large
bow are of organdie and lace,
easily removed for laundering,
and they are white, of course,
snowy against their dark ground.
The black belt with covered
buckle keeps the figure from a
possible cut-in-two look. This
dress is of very superior quality,
and shows it in every line, yet
it is medium priced in a down.

you can find this dress, write

For
Youth
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A Tragedy Of Drinking

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am married and have three
lovely children, and the most
wonderful husband in the world;
but he is easily tempted in
drinking, and I don't know how
I can get him away from the
habit. When he takes one
drink he will take more until
he falls down. / have saved
enough money to buy q home,
but I am afraid to take the
chance. I have talked to him
in a nice way and we are very
devoted to each other. He
would never hurt me by saying
a cruel world. He thinks the
world Of me and the children.
I have always worked and
helped him out since we were
married, and saved the money.
We hope to have small farm,
and what fun it will be making
it pay and saving the dollars.
Is there a dose Of anything I
could give him to turn him
against drinking, or could you
get something from a doctor.
VERA.
These days so many men
drink to get a. few moments of
forgetfulneSS, anything to take
their minds off joblesS despair.
But that dosen't seem to be the
case with your husband, who
is happy in his family life and
Is blessed with a thrifty wife
who has saved enough to make
a home possible.
Cures have been claimed for
the alcoholic habit, and there
are institutions where addicts
are received as patients. Why
not consult your family doctor,
or physician in charge Of the
public health service in the city
from which you have written
me? You would want the best
possible medical advice, and 1t
would be risky, it seems to me,
to attempt a home cure unless
you did so, under the direction
Of a competent medical mar.
You have my very deep SYM
pathy, and I hope you'll write to
me again and be able to give me
a happier account Of your huS-
hand

A cross-eyed condition is
called, in medical parlance,
''strabismus." People sometimes
speak of it as "squint." There
are several varieties of this dis
order, often very disfiguring
and causing no end of en-
barraSSment.
One type of strabismuS is oc-
casional and periodic. In other
words, it comes and goes. The
cause may be eye-Strain or a
rundown state Of health. These
render the eye muscles weak
and they pull unequally, so to
speak, the result being that
the eyeball is turned more or
less to one side. A pair Of
proper glasses to overcome the
strain and plenty of exercise.
fresh air, nouriShing diet and
other hygienic measures often
correct periodic StrabiSmus.
In cases Of constant" stra-
biSmus the problem is often not
so simple of SolutiOns OF this
many varieties also are to be
noted. In the alternating kind,
one eye fixes for far vision and
the other for near. In monoc-
ular StrabiSmus, one eye de-
viates, or turns habitually from
the axis it should.
Strabismus may also be inter.
nal, external or vertical, de-
pending upon the direction in
which the eyeball turns. Inter
nal squint is the commonest
form, the eyeball turning in
toward the nose. Vertical
SQuint is the rarest form.
Usually an experienced per-
son can discover a strabismus
and its type by looking at the
eyes and noting the eyeball
movements. This, however, can
not be done when the degree of
divergence is small.
A rough test can be made, in
cases of slight deviation, with a
card or the hand. The subject
Is asked to fix his attention and
his gaze upon some distant OBJ

Oldest and best families in the
city played golf and danced and
gave dinner parties.
So Mary Faith, who had no
social ambitions Of her own,
was filled with a sense of pride
in Kim as she turned away

noon. He was beginning to
know the right sort of places to
be liked and respected by his

It was a beautiful afternoon,

Faith put the baby into his
perambulator and started off
for a walk through the park.
The baby, pink and bright eyed
from his afternoon nap, sat up
against the pillows of his little
cart and played with a rubber
rabbit that Jean Bartlett had
brought him.
It was cool and green under
the trees. Mary Faith spread a
blanket for him near her fav-
orite bench and sat watching
him in great contentment while
she darned Kim'S socks. BY the
time she had finished them and
put them into her mending bag,
it was 6 o'clock and the factory
whistles were blowing in the
distance.

said to the baby. Time to go

The Beauty
Box

To be attractive and charm
ing, a woman has to have
brains that get up and go
round like a wheel. The dumb
ones if blessed with inherited
good looks, can make pretty
spectacles of themselves but
the intelligent woman goes
considerably farther along the
road of pulchritude. She is
gracious. She has poiSe. She
offers no rude criticism; she
purrs and never scratches.
Most of all she learns how to
get along comfortably and hap
PLY with her fellow creatures
and that is half of life'S bat
ties. She cultivates tolerance,
which gives to her countenance
a beautific radiance.
Cleanliness is the first law of
beautifying and a number Of
the other ones besides. The
daily bath, promoting skin
health over the entire body sur
face is a marvellous complexion
brlghtener and tonic. SubaceouS

skin to such an extent that the
old powder pad can't keep up
with them. Their job is light.

Feet Are Growing

American women'S feet are
growing larger, according to
the 500 representatives Of the
National Shoe Retailers Asso-
citation in convention at
Chicago. over the past decade,
they assert, the 4-B size has
given place as the majority
selection to 5 and even 6.
Many years ago, size 3 was the
favorite. The change, it is
said, is due not only to actual
increase in size of feet but to
recognition by women that
tight shoes cause nervous strain,
indigestion and other troubles.
They are willing to wear larger
sizes nowadays, retailers report,
because they know the modern
design of shoes make the feet
look well regardless Of size.
