Comfortable Corsetry Affects
Facial Expression.

"A poorly fitted or uncomfortable
corset can add years to q womans
facial expression" says an expert In
the study Of style and health trends
In corsetry.
While women appreciate what the
proper foundation garment can do
to improve figure lines, they often
fail to appreciate the importance Of
correct, comfortable corsetry. Like
footwear that is too tight or improperly
fitted, corests can make facial express
sion dull and stiff-can absolutely
ruin ones appearance and make body
movements awkward.
while too tight corset may take
an inch or SO off the hips or dia-
phragm," continues this expert, that
excess flesh will bulge out somewhere
else. And the strain and tension put
aging lines and wrinkles onto the
face"
The growing trend in corsetry Is to-
word a foundation that follows the
natural figure lines OF the body-and
a properly fitted garment must always
be q comfortable one.

Bedtime Stories
Peters Itching Heels.

because it's Springtime. Listen, now,
and you will note Sammy's voice, no
more discordant, is as lovely as his
coat. Why should I keep sticking
round here, when you know that 1t
is true you've the children to look
after, while I've not e thing to do.
Tommy Tit was here this morning;
told me he would show me where
Bobby Coon had spent the Winter,
and the bed of Buster Bear. Says
that Buster woke up early, while the
snow was still quite deep; came out
then, but didn't like it, so went back
once more to sleep. Really, now, my
dear, you're silly. Guess I'm old
enough to go where and when chance
to want to. No ones caught me yet,
you know. When I feel my long heels
itching, then I know it's time to
roam. Itching heels were never meant
for people who must stay at home.
Don't you fret and don't you worry
I'll be back, all safe and sound, when
I've made some calls and had little
chance to look around"
So it was that Mrs. Peter talked
and argued all in vain Peter very
rudely told her what she said gave
him pain. Then it was that Peter
left her Never once did he look
back There are times when Of po-
liteness Peter shows distressing lack.
Kicking up his itching heels, he
leaped as only Peter can. Then away
across the Meadows toward the Smil-
ing Pool he ran. Peter simply couldn't
help it; go he did. for go he must.
Always every Spring you'll find that
itching heels mean wanderlust.

Delicate Touch.
~ CARTON CHURCHILL, New
- York attorney and recent au-
thor of popular book on
~ contract, is well known for
the subtlety that he displays in giving
delicate inferences to a partner. In
recent rubber bridge game Mr.
Churchill made defensive play that
would ordinarily be classed as a
bridge crime-that is, he flnessed
against his partner. However, there
is always some particular situation
that warrants the commission Of what
would ordinarily be called a bridge
crime and the success of Mr.. Church
il's play was its justification.

worth another bid, but it should have
been four hearts.
"a A double would be foolish, as a
diamond opening could hardly be ex-
pected.
When West opened the four OF
clubs and dummy played low, Mr..
Churchill's natural play would have
been the jack. However, the play of
the jack would be of use only if part
ner had underled the ace-king, a
practical impossibility since declarer
could hardly be bidding three no-trump
with both minor suits completely un-
stopped. Mr.. Churchill decided that
1t was of vital importance to discour-
age his partner from continuing clubs.
Hence, he played the three. De-
clarer Immediately played the king
and ten of hearts, and when West got
In with his ace, in desperation he led
a diamond, Mr.. Churchill running off
six tricks in that suit.
Mr.. Churchills partner congratu-
lated him warmly on his delicate play,
remarking: IF you had played the
jack on the first club lead, would
surely have continued the suit when
got in. It would have looked to me as
though you might hold the king of
clubs over dummy's queen. and that
the club lead would be the only pos
sibility of defeating the contract"

THERE is a heavy odor Of musk
that hangs about the common
musk turtle. This, you can
L see, is carried out in his SCI
entific name.
In the warmer parts Of his range
Musky may be seen now. He is well
known from Southern Canada to the
Gulf Of Mexico and westward to Illi-
noiS in the North and to Texas in
the South.
He has what would be called q
NASTY disposition" He looks the part,
don't you think? Perhaps it is be-
cause he has spent his life in Slow
running streams and muddy rivers.
Such places may have dampening
effect on his temperament. Mud has
little beauty In itself, though to Musky
it means protection through the VIM
ter from the cold blasts, and hunting
grounds in Summer.
Like people, some of Natures Chill
dren are born with good or bad dis
positions and that is all there is to it.
We have to learn to curb our out
bursts of displeasure. Musky lets his
have full rein. So when you go
to his homesite to pay him a visit,
remember 1t Is said he is the swapping
turtles apt understudy.
OF course you have learned how to
catch a turtle so that it is unable
to bite you with his sharp knifenke
jaws or give vicious dig from his
sharp claW-nails.

banker; the other a store owner. One
day the store owner sent messenger
to the banker, and at the same time
the banker sent messenger to the
store owner. One messenger ran
faster than the other and they passed
at point 100 yards from the store
owners store. Each messenger stayed
10 minutes at his destination and then
started back. This time they passed

Constipation May
Lead TO COLDS

Every doctor will tell you the first thing
to do to avoid suffering from colds-is to
be sure you are not constipated Consti-
patton clogs up the system. 1t weakens
resistance. and infections take hold.
End common constipation by eating
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN regularly. This
cereal supplies the bulk your system
needs for normal, natural action. 1t also
gives vitamin B to tone UP the intestines-
and iron for the blood.
In the body. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN ab-
serbs twice its weight in water. 1t forms
a soft mass. which gently exercises and
sponges out the 1ntestines.
Eat two tablespoonfuls q day. either as
cereal with milk or fruits. or in cooked
dishes. Chronic cases. with each meal
Will help you stay regular without having
to axe pills and drugs-tkat often make
conditions worse.
