WE, THE WOMEN Guests, Not the Hostess, Are Important at Party

tiful woman at a party, just for decoration and to make the eve- ming exciting for the men, they are careful not to have anyone who will outshine them.
 And instead of worrying about getting the right group of people together-moSt hoStesseS spend their energy and thought on put ting on a good show-beginning with themselves.
 They spend most of their en- thusiasm on fussing with details that no one will notice-instead of using it to think up some good ideas to start things off easily, and later on to keep the party from dying on its feet.
 Wouldn't it be smart if the aver age hostess, on the day of her next party, skipped the usual last minute Stewing over her own clothes, shook of the temptation to change the living room around and met her guests, untired and in a shining, really good-natured mood? If she were secure in the knowledge that Sue, the best-looking girl in town, would keep the men on their toes trying to amuse her and outshine each other?
 And, if she knew that when, and if, things should begin to lag-she had three ideas that ought to jerk any party out of a decline?
 With ttcse assurances in mind, a hostess wouldn't have to force her smiles and pretend to be having a swell time. The party-and not the hoSteSS-would be the thing. Copyright, 1938, NEA Service, Incl

 But Mary had dozed of again. Rebecca thought. well, I'll have to do her job for her-go down. stairs and start breakfast" But she had to shake Mary again. What does your father like for breakfast? And Bert?"
 ''Mothern get breakfast" grunted Mary, wondering what was going on. You crawl back into bed like good girl She hates us messing up her kitchen"
 T won't mess it. Don't you ever get breakfaSt?"
 "Oh, don't chatter so much, Pol lyanna," said Mary. T never go to the kitchen. Spells my hands for art class. And am too tired any, way. I'm always tired"
 Criticism Overheard
 The country girl got breakfast. She knew her aunt would be the better for some help. Rebecca went to high school, too, but she and her brother, Bob, had this week of. Bob was downstairs, waiting.
 T can't get Bert up," he said. My lands, out home they've been up for hours. Do you s'poSe they always sit up until twelve and one o'clock this way?"
 T don't know, but if you and I didn't get around and help with the work before we went to school, Dad would think the devil had us sure. How does it feel not to milk and get wood? I think the best part of the day is early morning.
 Mary called me 'Pollyanna.' I bet I did sound like Goody Two Shoes when said so virtuouSly I would get breakfast. I hate that. But really Mary never turns a hand"
 Mary stood in the doorway. T heard" she said. Couldn't sleep. Thought I'd walk as you said. Don't look so silly, the two of you. I'm not going to bite you. You've both dead right. I'm getting my own conscience aired for me. Here I'll attend to that sausage. What? No butter? I'll be out to your house, Becky, soon. You're going to teach me to cook"

MOST ENDOCARDITIS
 UNRECOGNIED


 The popular notion of "rheuma- tism of the heart" is a vague one of some dreadful pain around the heart. In fact when damage to the heart occurs as a complication or result of acute infectious arthritiS ("inflammatory rheumatism" or rheumatic fever") no pain or other distress marks the occurrence. Indeed, unless the physician exam ines the heart daily in the course of the illness even he may not be aware that endocarditiS has devel- oped, until weeks or months later, even years after the original ill- ness, when the circulatory deficiency due to valvular damage becomes manifest.
 What happens is that some of the bacteria responsible for the arthritis, or perhaps only tonsilitis, or scarl.t fever, or chorea (St. Vitus' danctJ, or septic sore throat, lodge upon the lining of the heart and set up some inflammation there. If this happens to be an area of the heart lining covering a heart valve, the exudate or "vegetations" associated with the inflammation, or the sub sequent contraction of scar tissue left by the inflammation, may dis tort the valve slightly so that it no longer closes the orifice com- pletely, and hence some backfiow or leakage of blood occurs with each beat of the heart.
 While there is no pain or other distress pointing to the heart, and indeed no indication of heart mis- chief in most instances, still, if the physician has the patient under close observation he may make a fairly accurate diagnosis of acute endocarditis if there occurs a markedly increased rapidity of the hearts action, perhaps slight ir- regularity, and an increase in the fever without apparent aggreva- tion of the joint trouble or other primary illness. It is this compli- cation the competent physician has in mind when he insists on REST, perhaps rest in bed, in the early stage of the illnesses mentioned, even though the patient would like to be up and about. Not because the heart is weak" but because bac- terial misunderstanding of bac- teria from the primary lesion through the circulation to lodge elsewhere in the body-is less likely tn ncciir if the Ylofiort Yoy,no inc n,,,iot and the heart beat is correspond ingly slow and easy.
 The characteristic sign of endo- carditis the physician hears listen ing to the heart is a 'murmur," but this abnormal sound is produced only when the trouble occurs in valcular area. A "murmur" alone by no means indicates endocarditis, valvular or other heart trouble, for

 You'll be more attractive if you remember to-
 Set your lipstick properly. (This means putting it on lavishly, let- ting it set moment or two, then plotting lips with cleansing tissues before moistening them) Garry a tiny whisk broom in your purse. (Use it often to re- move dust from your hats, suede gloves and purse as well as your shoulders.)
 Make couple of little tests be- fore deciding to pour perfume on your fur jacket or the fur collar of your cloth coat (Some per- fumes are ideal for use on fabric, others are not.)
 Shorten at least two slips each time you buy a dress that is shorter than the ones you have been wearing.
 Spend at least one hour week anchoring loose shoulder straps. alarming tiny holes in the toes of your stockings, replacing missing AOOho anu oAAdPo, SOUtAA6 A41o put on your heels and doing other small chores that make for metic- ulous grooming.
 Ask your hairdresser to use only very thin wave-set lotion on your hair. Chick wave-set prep arations, applied undiluted, often leave tiny white flecks in your freshly washed curls.)
 Insist upon having your hair thoroughly brushed just before your weekly shampoo and be positively fussy about the amount of time the operator spends rins- ing out the soap afterward. (She simply cannot rinse too much.)
 Change your nail polish once between manicures.
 DO posture exercise now and then. (You should walk with your chest high, backbone as straight as possible, stomach in. An exaggerated hollow in the center of your back makes stom- ach protrude and hips seem wider than they are.)

murmur may occur from simple anemia and in other conditions where there is no question of val- vular or other heart disease.
 This being health column, we shall not suggest symptoms of val- vular disease, further than to say that the chief reason why any form of valvular disease is Q handicap is that it decreases the margin of re- serve power in the heart. In other words, it renders the subject less capable of coping with any exc tion or strain which calls for, extra work by the heart.

 Mother-in-law says it is unneces- sary for a child aged II years to have vitanlin D, that it is waste of money to buy vitamin D milk, that he can get the necessary vitamins in his food. (Mrs. F. S.)
 Answer-C Children from 10 to 18 years of age have as great or per- haps greater need for extra vitamin D daily than infants do Fair daily ration of vitamin D for child in early teens is 5000 units-which should cost not more than 3 cents, if you are well informed about vitamins.

 Smart as whips-these two! And are they proud of their clever trick!
 Training your dog isn't difficult. Treat Rover kindly but firmly and in no time he'll respond to your commands.
 Start by putting him on a long leash, keeping one end in your hand. Get as far away from him as you can and call out Come here" Repeat several times in a firm even tone. Pull him only as a last resort.
 If he gets tired, don't try to force him. Let him find a corner and rest.
 To teach Rover the snappy "Sit up" act, start when he's in sit- ting position. Force him gently up on his haunches by slipping one hand under his forelegs, chucking him under the chin with the other. Say over and over, "Sit up!"
 Soon he'll be able to retrieve and carry, to speak" to shake hands. In our 32-page booklet we'll known expert tells how to teach these and other tricks. Gives right steps in dog training and care. Pointers on feeding, grooming, treatment of distemper and other dog ills.
