, cause, loss of the body fat, these places all appear hollow or sunk en and abdominal organs are like ly to go on the loose. Burrows
 or wrinkles appear in the skin. You young people who are not
 over ten per cent, too heavy for your height and age, think of these sad results of getting thin without just cause for dieting. And these are only the outward visible signs of what happens in- side. Unwise reduction to conform with a freak standard set by some washion caricaturist is achieved at the cost of youth, beauty and health.
 In any case, even where reduc- tion is advisable and the regimen | is prescribed or approved by the physician. it is generally better to
 reduce at Q moderate rate, say two
 or three pounds a week than it is
 to take the fat off more rapidly,
 both for the sake of good health
 and good appearance.
 Any one who enters upon a re-
 duction fegimen should include a fair amount of daily exercise, at
 least enough to take up the slack
 as the fat disappears. Persons over 40 or those with heart trouble should be advised by their own physicians about this, for of course
 the heart has labored under a handicap as long as the super fiuous fat has been toted about
 and rest for the heart, rather
 than exercise, may be the best treatment for a while.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-One dress with half a dozen jackets is an idea to con- jure with. The Countess Georges Potocka finds it profitable. She de- cided on a black chichi gown from Schiaparelli. The jackets are in eel lophane, ruched tulle and crinkled taffeta in several colors.
 Chichi, in case you've forgot ten, is the material Madame Schi- aparelli launched in her midseason collection that looks like crepe tucked at intervals of an eighth of an inch and then"thumbed down" in opposite directions to give each tuck this-way and that-way ef- feet.
 Brown chichi with blue corn flowers is another "Schiappy" connection, worn by the Vicom- jesse de Lyrot during the Grande Semaine de Paris. It has a low decolletage and a cape of blue rayon threads (long and silky) that is most effective and hor- ribly simple.
 If you want to be a bit spec tacular but within the bounds of discriminating people" you can wear a brilliant blue taffeta evening gown with a jacket of flame colored crinkled taffeta, with or without fins" at the back. The Marquise de Brissac, daughter of the Princess d'Aren- berg does, so that ought to make it al right. It is one of the items from Schiaparelli's "Typhoon" col lection.

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

Stylish life in the country is showing a quick course towards that old Iowa custom of pitching the horse shoes. Horseshoe sets are quite the smartest gift the weekend guest can send his hos tess, he being on the alert to en- close card of apology in case said hostess suffers from bad arteries. or soaring blood pressure. The us- ual procedure it for the guest to select gold and silver shoes as his gift, but if possible, some sentiment should be attached to them too. For example one store sells only shoes forged by the snlithy who shoed horses for a century before it succumbed to a motor delivery. Maybe you might know some good milk horse by name who would give you his shoes. Anyway, the hostess is impressed and serves old-fash- ioneds while the other weekend

f.-If I understand him rightly, Dr John Patson makes this claim in his Psychology" From the Standpoint of a Behaviorist." And, the late Dr George Dorsey main tained much the same position. However, few if any other psy- chologists agree with them and I can at least say that, while Dr Watson is one of the most original present day psychologists, he has not yet demonstrated this state ment to be true by producing such genius. Believing as I do that people are not all born with equal abilities cannot accept such a statement without seeing a live specimen.

 S.-I think far more. In bril- liant article in a recent American Mercury on ''Why Women Become Hoboes." Walter c. Reckless, shows that we rarely. if ever, see a wo- man in a bread line. One observer said: "They do not go to bread, lines nor do they eat in soup kit chens. Any one who has marvel- led because of this should realize that it is not because there are no hungry women. It is because they believe any public parade or poverty is degrading" Woem'ns pride in home and standards of living, as I have previously shown
 is much stronger than that of men.

QUESTION and ANSWERS.
The Haw-Haw Corner

1HC IIdW-HdW SOFncf
 As chemist I am interested in the theory of Dr Hay who says that hydrOchlOric acid in the stomach digcsts prOteins and that starches and carbohydrates need an alkaline system for digestion. Further that these two systems. being inconsistent, cause indiges- tion. .. (J! T.)
 Answer-As student, son, you have considerable ground yet to cover before instance, you will learn if you study diligently, that Dr Hay was born too late. He starches are carbohydrates. Your should have been on hand when the Creator was ordaining these things. He might have prevented the mistake of combining protein (curd) and carbohydrate (milk sugar) in the natural food of in- fants and young animals. Mental Deficiency. It is possible for the germ caus- Ing colitis to get into the blood stream and cause mental def- ciency? Have known two people who suffered with colitis and af- forward had these spells Mrs T. L.)
 Answer-More likely there i; some mentak deficiency in the first place, which makes the individual more susceptible to the "colitis' obsession. If germs get into the blood stream they do not cause mental deficiency in any circum- stance. The functional derange ment popularly called "colitis" is not actually inflammation at all and is not caused by germs. Copyright 1884. John F. billie Col

Amy took off her hat, washed her face and hands and tried to compass the utter strangeness of the situation. This was so difficult that she retreated to trivialities. She found herself telling Jane scraps of Marburg news, Vanny Hough's new car. Louise March's marriage to a man from Chicago, Henry Berwyn's accident in his boat. Edgar Moreland's engage ment to a girl who had visited the Pattersons.
 That's funny" said Jane, who had been listening with scant in terest. T never thought Edgar would care about any girl but you. The boys all liked you, Amy. You were far and away the most popu- lar girl in town"
 "Whatever that may mean. Ed gar wasn't serious about me. It was just that we'd known each other all our lives"
 T don't believe anybody really loves more than once," went on Jane. Do you?"
 "I don't know what I believe about love--except-- except that it's the only miracle we ever know. Nothing else explains it." She stopped, embarrassed by speaking out a secret thought. They mustn't talk like this. She looked about the apartment. This is a very queer place. Jane," she con-

Town And Country Coats Provide Study In Contrasts
 sleeu Of Former Cut To Give Wrapped Effect O Shsd Cape
Rv MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Stan Correspondent.
 New York.-When the country hostess. wearing a white coat or linen, pique or gabardine, meets her city guest at the train, the greeting will present a stunning picture of contrast. For the city girl undoubtedly will be wearing a black triple sheer or smooth crepe coat that is so smart for town ana travelling.
 So much is said about frocks and the right accessories to go with them that a woman can be forgiven if she completely forgets about a coat to take to the coun- try. Chances are, however, that she'll never forgive herself when she gets a resort to find that her evening wrap would have. Don't place yourself in any such pre- dicament. Get yourself a coat on the same day that you choose &C., tive and spectator sports dresses and dressier frocks to wear to in- formal luncheons.
 There are lovely, loose-fitting, swagger type country coats that fasten at the neck and swing free the rest of the way down. You'll see them in all the summer fab rics and in pastels as well as white.
 If you're a really practical per- son, you'll probably like the ga bardine coats of this type that can be worn over evening as well as sports dresses. One of these saves the price of summer evening wrap. Right in the swagger coat price department you'll see bean-
 tifully tailored models that are the answer to a well-groomed wo- mans dream. Simply tailored with interesting pockets, they're sure to win great approval. For instance, the coat illustrated here at the left is a model that can be worn over spectator sports dresses. And it's perfect for mo- toring. Made of loosely woven im- ported linen that won't wrinkle, it has an interesting wide collar, two generous pockets and nautical but tons. The felt hat is white with a ribbon band in contrasting colors. The other coat, in perfect taste | for town, is fashioned from black triple sheer. It's very thin but you may be sure that it's heavy enough for these hot days. The three = quarter length sleeves are cut to give the wrapped eect of a shirred cape that fits tightly around the l body.

THE FAT IN THE HEALTHY
 BODY.

THE FAT IN THE HEALTHY
 BODY.
 A healthy man weighing 15O pounds consists of 90 pounds or water, 27 pounds of muscle and blood corpuscles and other tissue clements, 9 pounds of minerals, l # pounds of glycogen (animal starch) or blood sugar, and 22h pounds of fat. Let's see-that doesn't leave much for his brain, does it. But no matter. We've divided the brain and other organs up amongst these component sup- stances.
 There is proportionately more fat in the body of woman. Or at least there was in the nice com- fortable old-fashioned kind. Some of them today have little or no more softensS than New England hired man.
 The fat in the healthy body is distributed in a kind of insulating blanket, called the panniculus, of adipose tissue under the skin. This serves to keep the body warm, as fat is non-conductor or slow conductor of heat. It also serves to give soft smooth rounded out line to the body, especially at points where angles or knobs would pro- ject if the fat pad did not cover them. This subcutaneous layer of fat also protects muscles, nerves and vessels in and under the skin from pressure or injury. As a non- n-conductor of heat it explains why women generally stand ex- pose to cold better than men do.
 Besides the panniculus, con siderable amount of fat is stored in the abdomen, both in the omen- tum or apron that hangs in front of the viscera and in the support ing membranes of the stomach and intestines. Then it is used as padding to support various organs, notably the kidneys. Lighter mass es or leaves of fat are distributed between the muscles, over the hollows of the temple bones, in the breasts and back of the eye balls. With cancellation from any

SYNOPSIS

JANE TERRY comes to New
 York determined to show her
 home town and especially AMY JACKSON that she can make a success of her life. Amy had
 been her best friend until HOW- ARD JACKSON broke the en- gagement Jane forced on him and married Amy. Unable to
 bear the sight of Amy's hap piness, Jane obtains a job in Q New York real estate office.
 Jane is clever and soon is making an excellent salary. She has an affair with ROGER THORPE, a business acquaint- ance who Is married. Later she tires of him. and when he offers to bear the expense of their child she dismisses him con- temptuously.
 In her desperate plight Jane turns to Amy for help. Howard is touring Germany with an- other professor and Amy comes to New York. She is mortified when Jane tells her she plans to give her child away.
 CHAPTER XVI
 .Amy's voice was reproachful. .But helpless child, Jane. who didn't ask to be born"
 "None of us asked to be born," Jane answered. T wish to heaven I'd never been. wish I were dead. I've wished 1t a thousand times ever since"
 "But Jane, this man. Hasn't he any decent feeling? He ought to be looking out for you. Doesn't he care? Don't you care anything about him"
 "No, don't. even loathe think ing about him.
 Amy knew Jane was speaking the truth. But you must have loved him." she persisted. After all, you couldn't have lived with him without caring something about him, at first, anyway"
 T loved Howard" said Jane duly. "This man was exciting. and he fiattered me and made love to me. and met him half-way, if you want to know. Oh, you can look at me. Amy, and be mortified, but I don't see why women shouldn't have affairs like men, and think no more about it. There's no reason why not. Is there, honestly?"
 q don't know that there is, only I can't think so. It's one of the things that sound all right, but never work out.'
 T can see that last pretty plain myself, now. But I did love How ard, Amy, and after I knew he didn't love me can't you under Syt0 0r.d Tai nf v,o crazy about me made me feel bet when I'd been hating myself. I was awful to you about Howard, Amy. But you knew it was because it hit me so hard"
 "Yes, I did know. Jane-I'm so sorry"
 There's no use being sorry. We won't drag that stuff out again. You're going to stay with me. aren't you. Amy? If you only knew how glad I am to see you, and to hays somebody I can talk to and be natural with. Stay little while, Amy. even if it S only few days. I'll die if you leave me-"
 "Yes," said Amy, I'm going to stay. I'll send Mother a tele- gram. I'll have to get my bag. It's checked at the station. And I ought to cancel my Pullman"
 And have your ticket extended. I'll send the maid. She's smart too smart sometimes. You don't want to go out in this heSt again." Jane had become normal. practi-, cal. She shat down at har desk, wrote directions, addresses. then rang for the maid and started her off. Emma, Kitty's successor, was another West Indian, quiet and in- telligent.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF

Care of the legs becomes more important in the summertime. Stockings are very sheer, beach bathing is popular and most girls hate to wear hose when playing tennis. Therefore, legs must be free from superfluous hair, smooth and well groomed. .-
 Try a good wax depilatory on your legs. There are several types on the market and they certainly do an efficient hair-removing job. One particular brand actually dis courages the growth. Just be sure to follow the directions carefully.
 If you knees and heels are slightly discolored. use a bit of pumice stone to remove the stains. If they persist in being rather un- beautiful when you're on the beach or tennis court. try a new cosmetic preparation that is very much in vogue this summer. It is called a film instead of a cream, comes in' a tube, and when smoothed on the legs, gives them a fiattering sun tanned look. In other words. you can squeeze yourself a pair Of stockings. #
 Of course, if you're one who likes to have arms and legs match, put the new cosmetic on your arms too. It not only gives the skin healthy glow butp revents sunburn.

 This Columbia picture surpasses every expectation. It is the prod uct of the same minds that gave us Lady for a Day" directed by Frank Capra and adapted to the screen by Robert Riskin, from the novelette, by Samuel Hopkins Ad- ans.
 ? Ut Happened One Night" may not send you out of the theater a nobler man or woman, but 1t Will most certainly make you a hap pier person. It has that sparkling. entertaining, realistic yet romantic quality that no one between the ages of eigh and eighty can re- sist The situations are hilarious, the dialogue is scintillating, the di- rection is brilliant, and the acting well. just what would you ex- pect from Gable and Mis- Colbert ?
 Gable is cast as an adventurous newspaperman who insults his women first and loves they after wards.
