The barkeeping barber served Adams-that is,
to a shave, and Adams asked where he could find
the undertaken.
''My partner is the undertaken and he tends bar
pretty soon," was the reply
Adams got the partners together and explained
that he was a clergyman from Reno. He asked for
a few facts about the deceased, for he knew that
an eulogy was expected.
"Sure, We'll tell you about him. the partners

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Paris (UP)- Helm, recently in- stalled in more specious and luxur- ious quarters on the Avenue Matig- non, says that his smartest clients are selecting black more than any other shade for new winter clothes.
 Black Is being worn particularly for street wear but is seen at night as well, and is usually cheered up by touches of some very bright color.
 The most popular choices in the new Helm collection include a street suit of black broadcloth with a short basqued jacket trimmed with a large collar of silver fox. Another suit of black wool, which is trim med with the ever-popular astrak- han and is worn over a bright red vest, is proving a favorite. Still a third in black wool is trimmed with bands of astrakhan and is en- broidered in chenille.
 This couturier's three most popu- lar day dresses also are black. One in black marocain crepe is trimmed with accordion pleating and fastens on row of bright green buttons. Another of a sheer black wool, that is corrugated into little ribs, is worn with sash of brilliant red and bright blue. Still another in black wool is trimmed with rickrack at the high neck, at the elbows and at the hem. The rickrack is yellow, red and green.
 One of the outstanding tailored midnight suits is made of bands of black faille and velvet with Q

sasAS a. GlorUying
 Yourself
Ry Alicia Hart

She was fat : and, frankly, she was far from smartloo ooking-but she was red-headed! " :.
 Consequently, when Lynn Merrill, young stage actress. agreed to put herself in the hands of a Fifth Ave- nue reducing salon to see what they could do with her pudgy figure, she stayed by her resolutions and stayed by the rules laid down for her.
 Wears Size IF Now
 That was less than two months aSo- ',shs. r' Y Today Lynn Merrill buys dresses that are size 12, instead of size l6. She lost only 10 pounds in weisht, but her measurements de- creased in startling fashion. Here they are, compared with those talk en before she began the routine of massage: :.
 shoulders: ss inches instead of 37. :s yN.
 Bust /. 34 inches instead; of as .i-2 Waistline: 26i IA instead of 2S 3-4. &.-s;e .+'-' s'@ '@.3t,g' r.
 .IIips: 36 instead of 39 3-4. s x.
 Knees: l4 3-4 instead of IS 3-4. !.
 Miss Merrill did not have to diet, hut she did number of \ other things. one was to get q suitable haircut. Another was to change her makeup. She bought some sleek rather sophisticated clothes to re- place the too, too casual things she had been wearing. She improved her posture. Result-aIl eminently smart, tiy well-groomed young woman! r. .- .s,
 Although the salon experts have worked out methods to make weight reducing painless and almost a mathematicaily exact proceeding any woman with will power enough | to eliminate rich desserts and heavy starchy foods from her diet and with ambition enough to do ever cises. regularly can improve her figure and general appearance, just as Lynn Merrill did.
 Determined Effort Needed
 Unless her doctor has advised otherwise. one who insists, she cant lost weight really means she doesn't want to. At least. she doesn't want to enough.
 Of course, if you want quicker results and can afford to pay TOT Them. the figure experts of the re- d,,cing salons will do the work They do 1t by massage. but it Is not the old-fashioned 6eat-and- pound -the-patient type. The moo- ern masseuse knows exactly how to break down fatty tissues without br,iising the flesh or making muscles sore. Her hands are trained to work effectively but painlessly.
 The best shops insist that each entrant submit to physical ex- animation by a doctor before she is allowed to take a course. They do not guarantee results over night b,it they do guarantee to reduce measurements. @ ''af Sia z

 Oh, yes, saw some boys from Westminster school They, wore top hats and wide white collars and long trousers. Slicked mp no end. You would never believe that up to some few years ago. their fellows had carved their initials all over the soft marble figures of kings and queens in the great Abbey. Even noses are gone here and there. And the Core .:.tion Chair bears the share In the alphabet owned by E!ckie Jones and Johnny Smith.
 One day. someone woke up to t., fact that boys will be boys, and now the young blades are barred from the great church. And the throne is car fully guarded.

Sensitivity To Foods And Other
 Digestive Ills Cause Headaches

regularly concerned with disturb ances of digestion.
 People who are constipated may insist that they always have a headache if they do not have an action of the bowels every 24 hours. Such. people sooner of later be- come slaves to the cathartic habit. They should have competent medi- cal attention, with complete regu- lation of the hygine of the bowels.
 Other people who are chroni- cally tired and who suffer from indigestion have headaches fol- lowing the eating of food. If their diets are regulated SO that they eat small quantities of food at fre- quent intervals; if they take ade- quate rest, with mild and limited exercise; and if they give suitable attention to the conditions of their digestion, they will improve in general health and their head aches will disappear.
 A third type of headache asso- ciated with digestion is that while follows senSitiviIy to certain foods. If the suffered can find out what food brings on the tack and elim- mate it from his diet, the control will be brought under control.
 This type of sick headache was first understood 75 years ago.
 One observer says that when a headache Is due to sensitivity to food, the pain begins in or near one eye anC spreads over one side of the head.
 The onset of such headaches may be accompanied by confusion or forgetfulness, sweating or flush ing of the tissues, and a feeling of numbness of tongue, lips, or nose Occasionally, also, there may be a feeling of nausea, the eyelids may become puffy, and canker sores may break out in the mouth. Excessive fatigue, worry, and excitement may bring on the symptoms or intensity them.
 People who are regularly subject to sick headaches should avoid sub- stances to which they are sensitive The foods most frequently associa- ted with sick headaches and food sensitivity are chocolate, onions cabbage, cucumbers, apples, pork, and melons.
 In cases of this type the doctor will make a test of the sensitivity of the skin to the proteins of the foods concerned. When these foods are eliminated from the diet, this form of sick heada he often will disappear.

WHO WANTS A HERNIA
 OPERATION?

Some years ao I had a hernia on the left side, writes man (E. F. O from the near west, and was cured by operation. The operation was complete success, for the hernia has never recurred.
 well, with experience like that, one would naturally think the man would know what to do next time he had hernia. So he would-f the world stood still. But the world moves and this man has moved along with it. 4
 About three years ago, he con- tinues, I developed hernia on the right side and having read your articles concerning ambulant treat- ment, I wrote and asked for the name of physician in this vicinity who was competent to administer the injection treatment. You named pr. -. He administered the treat ment and the hernia seems to have been cured. At least I have had no sign of recurrence.
 Now what in the world made the man choose injection treatment when he knew that operation cured his first hernia? He explains that as follows:
 In the case of the operation l lost about three weeks time; had the expense of hospital, surgeon operating room, anesthetic, dress ings, etc. Tn the case of the injection treat ment I lost no. time, simply walk ing from my place of employment to the doctors office twelves times, and suffered none of the discom- forts that one must endure in a surgical operation. I want to thank you. I for one am sure that hernia can be cured by the ambulant treat ment. X
 Does anybody, layman or phySi- clan, dare to doubt today that her. mia can be cured by the ambulant treatment? Name any physician, surgeon or specialist of standing who has the courage to express such doubt and will show you that the man is simply ignorant of the prog ress in his profession; or else he is emotionally unstable or downright dishonest.
 Another correspondent q. D. VI writes:
 After reading several of your ar- ticles in the paper about the ann bulant treatment, of hernia. I de- cided to take the treatmen. I did not expect 1t would give me a per- feet cure as was 72 years old Ind had been ruptured about thirty years. But T. am cured. I cannot thank you enough for your valu- able articles and for your kindness in directing me to pr. -. l found him gentle and skillful, and ais fee for the treatment was very reason able.

Afternoon Frocks That Platter Need Not Flatten Family Purse
BRIGHT aEMBRO OIDERY AND FUR FABRICS ADD
 FESTIVTTY TO FORMAL COSTUMES
By MARIAN YOUNG

(NEA Service Stan COErespondsnt)
 New York.-After years Of ob- Avion, afternoon dresses have De- come important again. This is sea- son when a smart woman does not put on | tailored suit or street dress in the morning and wear 1t straight through luncheon, tea and informal dinner hours. Instead, she has at least one fcrmaiized street length outht that turns an ordinary event into an occasion. .%
 Not All Are Expensive
 Not that you have to let the pres entsvogue for more formal clothes and entertaining ruin your budget or your nervous system. Expensive af- ternoon suits and dresses, lavishly trimmed with fur and photograp aphed with precious jewels, are widely dis cussed, of course, but one who has little. to spend can ind 3 formal day., time dress that is, really, sflattering and which she can afford. S
 Janet Hollander's tea; dress Of beautiful silk crepe or sheer, sheer wooler in that new bluish-gray col- or, London fog, has slightly exag- gerated shoulders, swing skirt and collar and hemline band q. woolen fabric which looks like Persian lamb. With matching hat also trimmed with. Persian lamb cloth, this is just the costume for any body's luncheon, tea, or informal dinner and the theater. And it is not ex-. penSive.
 Another Hollander afternoon frock of suave black crepe, has the new push-up sleeves and is finished at neckline and hem with bands of colorful embroidery in small floral motif. A royal blue velvet model, featured in the same collection, has push-up sleeves, a youthful, surplice bodice effect. and a jewelled belt of silver kidskin. s
 Fur Capes Shown
 In upper-bracket collections are woolen afternoon dresses with fur lozerges appliqued here. and there or with fur capes or matching jack cts, banded and finished with fur. Here, too. are the sunapttlous velvet suits with metallic blouses and fur collars and plastror,s. :. E, xxss .s,. The formal street dress that you don't wear on the street and never to the office calls for dressier ac- cessories, of course. Look at sleek, suede shoes. cut high like old-fasa-' toned storm rubhers, more elaborate hats with wells, velvet flowers or eye arresting feather fahcieS and small- CT suede band bags. ~.

shouldn't let his
 heart get acrobat
 ic over a woman with two former marriage licenses-has nothing to do with my contention that women will rejoice because Cinderella has moved out of the story book to the worlds front page.
 There is talk abroad that the reigning British sovereign, after thanking Parliament for his crown next May, may wed Mrs. Simpson and ask the governing body to give her something royal for her own head, too. It may not be and 1t may be just talk, but it certainly picks up woman's belief in love.
 Henry WITS Precedent
 Henry VIII went to lot more trouble to make his Cinderella queen than Edward VIII would have to do. Anne Boleyn made romantic place for herself in history and it is nice to know that otner women still may have a chance. When Henry VIII spied the Irish beauty at his court, he learned that she was commoner. Moreover, Henry already had wife, Kath- arine of Aragon. For state reasons 1t was necessary to get Papal con- sent to a divorce and for state req sons the Pope refused it. Thereupon in l533 Henry married the Irish giri without 2 divorce and then ffxed up the matter by practically serer- ing the connection between the English church and Rome, so he didn't need special dispensation Tor loving where he pleased. ."..
 Even If Anne's reign was prieI, she did climb on the throne ana also bore a daughter, who became the great Queen Elizabeth. That, in feminine eyes, was something out of a book. though 1t would nave been much nicer without the sordio nolitical details-and if Anne had not lost her head. Now. with such obstacles removed, this modern TO- nance in which a king has to ask nothing but that the lady of ms heart be crowned a queen, IS seiz- ing the feminine fancy. Since 1853 has been a long time to wait--more than four hundred years If you count them.
 Romantic Page In History
 If Mrs. Simpson is the woman King Edward loves, certainly ne shouldn't marry anyone else. "Wo- men are proud that he believes in letting his romance be told, what ever their views may be of his con- iectured marriage to the twice married charrner who was the daughter of Q Baltimore boarding house keeper.
 From the waitress who serves you your melon and oatmeal, to the woman who sends her four small children of to school each morn irg, to the high-powered executive who controls capital and men from the smooth plane of her mahogany desk. women dream of romance. There isn't one of them who doesn't wish that a fairy-tale could come true. sometimes, in her own picture.
 whether King Edward and Mrs. simpson marry, whether they con- tinue only as friends, or she comes back to America to live quietly, doesn't make any difference. History at last, has romantic page for the school girls of tomorrow. Cinderella went on a yachting trip.
