Along Lines of Interest in Womans Spe
Annoyance
In Hunaning
Recognized
BY ANGELO PATRI,

7 KNOW of nothing quite so irritating,
so certain to rouse wrath and indig-
nation against the offender as hum
ming and whistling through the teeth.
And when such creature stands be-
hind ones chair and let's himself go
In a wholehearted performance, 1t is
too much. Human nature can stand
| Just so much and after that it Is any
body's fight.
Children like to hum and drum and
whistle in the most annoying fashion.
They can keep it up endlessly. You
suffer for the first five minutes in the
hope that something will draw the
attention of the murderer of peace
Nothing does. For the next five min
utes you hope he will get out Of
breath. He does nothing of the sort
He has surprising resources.
I have known him to run up and
down a scale and on the way down
pick up enough breath TO whistle home
I and back again. When at last en-
durance can no further go you turn
on him and demolish him utterly, he
looks at you In open-eyed amazement.
well, you needn't get so sore about
1t. need you? I was only whistling.
/ Gee, can't a fellow even whistle in this
house,"
mo, he can't Try the garage"
yeah, and be chased out because
Hans only likes Swedish tunes"
Grown people suffer torments under
the inf1iction Of these noises that chill
| dren enjoy so much. The only thing
to do is to send them to some wide
open space and tell them to take it
| out on the air. At least the birds can
| fly of to where he isn't, and the small
creatures don't seem to mind. They
just 90 away from there to somewhere
else.
| 1t was not about our own suffering,
bad as it Is. that / wanted to write.
It is about the children who cannot
bear these noises which their sturdier
brothers and sisters make. There are
| children whose nerves Quiver at the
sound of fingers drawn over glass. a
droning whistle through set teeth
drives them frantic. A steady rat
! tat-a-tat with hard finger ends on a
table makes them tremble. An inces-
SAINT humming drives them to tears.
| Rudy stood by the edge of Rita's
chair, Just behind her ear. He hum
med Good by Sweetheart" somewhere
back in his threat. did something with
his left heel and drummed with his
right hand on the little table whose
top was hollow He was having a
lovely time sounding like an orchestra.
"Motheri" cried Rita. and her voice
rose to a screech. will you please
make Rudy stop? I've asked him and
asked him."
rs that you. Rudy? thought it
was a band outside and ! was just
going to send you out to tell them
to go away. Go outdoors If you want
TO make such noises. Rita. don't be
so fussy about such things. You make
too much of trif1es."
My sympathy is with Rita. Nobody
has the right to make such noises in
the room where there is another per-
SON Nobody has the right to stand
behind snother's chair and hum, or
chew gum, or whistle through his
teeth. or make noises in his throat as
though he were about to choke and
didn't like it. Ill such noises are to
be carried out to the vacant lot beyond
the last stone wall and left there.
They are inhuman.

that his wife can do will domesticate
him.
60, TOO, II a man is a go-getter. he
- will always get more of a thrill
out of 10-point rise in stocks than
ne will out of a kiss His wife will
play second fiddle to his business and
he will say it with checks instead
of in poetry. But If he is a great
lover who makes beautiful and tender
speeches to his wife and holds her
hand, the chances are 10 TO l tnat she
will have to take in boarders 10 sup
port him.
And there a woman is. No matter
what sort of husband she has he is
not quite up to specifications. He is
not just exactly what she wants. He
may be as good as gold, yet not excit-
ing. He may thrill her to the marrow
of her bones, yet tear her heart to
tatters with his selfishness and cruelty.
He may be the most faithful of hus-
bands. yet so disagreeable to live with
that she would gladly hand him over
to any other woman who would take
him. Or he may be lovable and pleas
ant around the house. yet rounder
who keeps her green-eyed with jeal-
ousy.
THESE and similar faults such as
forgetting anniversaries and being
bored by their wives relatives and
grumbling over bills and making
satirical remarks about wives new
hats are the universal characteristics
of the common or garden variety of
husbands. No woman has ever seen a
single member of the species who was
not marked with these stripes, but
every woman believes that somewhere
there exists a husband without flaw
or blemiSh who would never contradict
her or get on her nerves or rile her
temper and of whom she would never
tire, and with whom she would be
blissfullly happy if she could only find
him.
He would always wipe his feet on the
mat before he came in the door. He
would tell her every day how young
and beautiful she looked. He would
brag about the dinner. He would love
dressing up of an evening and going
out to play cards with the Joneses.
He would be gay and entertaining
companion, full of good stories. He
would urge her to buy more clothes
and to spend as much as she liked at
the beauty shops. He would lavish
cars and jewels and fur coats and
orchids upon her.
HE WOULD never have any nerves
and tempers of his own. He
would never come home tired, worm
out with work and anxieties and filled
with despair. He would never expect
his wife to make any return for all he
did for her. He would never think
that she should wait on him like a
servant and make him comfortable
He would never find fault with her If
the food was unfit to eat and half he
made was wasted in bad management
and senseless extravaganza. Oh, no.
He would just think his wife perfect,
no matter what she did, and spend his
life on his knees adoring her.
OF course, there are no such hus-
bands as these. They exist only in
women's imaginations. But every
year thousands of wives divorce the
good men to whom they are married in
the belief that they can somehow find
the ideal husbands Of their dreams.
And the poor women don't know that
the only perfect husband is the man
you didn't marry. DOROTHY DIX,

Prevents
Blood Ills
RY LANES ". BARTON. N. D.

YOU are hearing and reading much
about high blood pressure. In a
general way. if a person tells you that
he has high blood pressure you under
stand that the pressure OF the blood
against the sides of his blood vessels
is so strong that one of the tiny YES
sells may break and cause trouble; II
it breaks in his head, he may have a
stroke" of paralysis.
You know. in a general way. also
that if the pressure is high. 1t IS be-
cause of obstruction" somewhere,
which makes it necessary for the heart
to pump much harder to force the
blood through the obstructed vessels.
In real high blood pressure, where
the obstruction is always present. part
of the walls of the blood vessels. made
up of elastic tissue, lose some OF this
elastic tissue. Where there has been
any infection in the system, some OF
this elastic tissue may become in
famed. and deposit of hard tissue
takes the place of some OF the elastic
tissue.
You can thus see that when the
heart pumps the blood into these YES
sells the walls will not stretch open or
give" to the pressure of the blood. as
they would if their elastic tissue had
not been damaged.
Where there is high blood pressure,
and yet the walls of the blood vessels
have plenty of elastic tissue. it is be-
cause the nerves that supply the mus
Gle of the walls cause the muscle fibres
to tighten and partly close the YES
sells
What causes the nerves to tighten
the muscular walls of the blood YES
sells, and by making it hard for the
heart to pump blood through them,
increase or raise the blood pressure?
Excitement, keeping the body too
tense most of the time. emotional dis
turbances. all tend to tighten" the
blood vessels.
Now this increased blood pressure,
which is caused by the emotions
Tightening" the walls of the arteries.
is naturally not considered so serious
as when the blood vessels have lost"
some of their elasticity, but neverthe-
less continuous increase of blood pres
sure against the blood-vessel walls
can, in time, actually damage the
elastic tissue and cause true or real
high blood pressure.
The thought, then. is that calm
ness" of spirit, which means keeping
ourselves relaxed instead of tensed.
will prevent our blood vessels becom-
ing old before their time.

@HE tunic blouse was the first
indication that fashions were
going oriental And now look
L what's happened. We're all to
look like East Indian prin-
eesses If the designers have anything
to say about it. But the tunic blouse
goes serenely on, secure in the knowl-
edge that it is pretty nearly indis-
pensable in the smart woman's ward
robe, and although its flavor is slight
Iy oriental, it has become acclimated
to Western shores.
Tunics are such agreeable things.
For instance. take white one, wear
It with a dark skirt-nothing could
be smarter. Or. have a skirt to
match, and presto. an entirely diff
ferent costume. Or, have the tunic
of print and wear it with skirt of
the same material, or one of con-
trasting color. The variations are
endless and very welcome to the
woman who watches her clothing
budget.
Today,s blouse is a simple one,
easy to make. and very chic. Sleeves
are cut in one with the blouse, and
the skirt is about knee length, and
slightly flaring. 1t closes down the
front with buttons set on in pairs at
nicely spaced intervals. The collar is
q tiny turnover affair with tie.
The skirt is simply made, in two
pieces, slashed at the side seams.
Printed linen, silk, or taffeta, each
Is beautifully adapted to this frock.
Or white, waffle weave pique would do
nicely with black skirt Have sew
eral blouses to wear with the same
skirt, and to juggle about with your
accessories. A limited wardrobe
would seem much less so.

a the delusion that if they could
only get rid Of the ordinary,
commonplace men to whom they are
married they could find their ideal
mates 1t is no: that they have any
real grievance against their Toms,
Dicks and Harrys, or even that they
are not fond of them. 1t is only
that the said parties do not come up
to their hearts desires. and they have
persuaded themselves that somewhere
there are husbands who are godlings
awaiting for them.
The man you marry is as tull of

EOR in real life even the best of
husbands have the defects of their
virtues and if they are long on one
good quality they are apt to be short
on another. If, for instance. man
is domestic. he is almost certain to
be so welded to his own heartnstone
that his wife virtually has to use

"HERE are so many enchanted

Summer that il is quite worth
L while anticipating them in ad-
vance and having an extra
frock or two ready for last-minute
special invitation to a roof garden
or a dance at the country club that
might prove full of romance and
glamour.
We have been looking around in
some of those attractive small shops
again; some that are tucked away
from public gaze, and have to be
sought out. But you always find
something Unexpectedly nice and
worth the trip. So it was when We
found the little shop all done in sill
yer and green, almost hidden in an
Office building. OF course there was
the announcement in the elevator
to help you on your way, but its semi
seclusion formed much of its charm.
We found a delightful hostess and
an equally delightful group Of dresses.
First, there's the lovely pale blue point
d'esprit sketched above. with its trim
ming bands of hollow rolls, its quaint
neckline. its new lifted front hem
line. all so crisply cool-looking. The
next frock is a yellow brocaded or
CANDY made over yellow taffeta slip.
1t has a frilly neck with shirring on
the shoulders. small puffed sleeves
and a straight fiounce around the
bottom.
or COURSE, there's a f1owered
~ seersucker organdy This one has
a square neck with pleated ruffle. a
pleating around the underside of the
armhoIe and a pleated skirt f1ounce
Bowknots of soft green velvet are
tackled at the corners of the square
neck and on each side of the skirt
fiounce.
We noticed dainty charm about
all the frocks. which have been chosen
with such good taste. The lilac
f1ounced organza is trimmed with mar
row lavender velvet ribbons and pleat-
ings in an unusual manner. and
white diagonally striped seersucker
organdy has the edges of all it's ruff

bon sash. There's a bright plaid
mousseline made on the more tailored
lines with high neck and extra large
shirt waist collar A bunch of cher
ries and a red velvet ribbon make the
belt of special interest.
