POINTERS ON DIETING
By ELLSMERE


-. Perhaps Pm getting a bit out of
my sphere for this weeks column
could well be covered by elizabeth"
for it concerns food; or by Portia
Craddock for it also concerns beauty
of face and form; and then too it deals
with a problem mot of the Beatrice
Small Variety but definitely a Prob
lem-that of dieting. This weeks
article is dedicated to women like my
self who are inclined to be plump but
have weakness for food-particularlv
all the sweet, starchy fattening foods.
OF course there are many slender wo-
men who can eat-and eat-and still
not gain any extra poundage but let's
not talk of them; I always gnash nv
teeth with envy thinking of lucky them,
don't you? To continue: IF you always
arrive at the dinner-table with
healthy, hungry feeling-then you'll
have to get into the habit of Spelling"
your appetite if you want to keep
slim. Here's one way: About an hour
before lunch eat a big apple so that
when meal-time comes around YOU will
not have fully digested your apple and
therefore won't feel like eating much.
Then, perhaps simple green salad,
fruit dessert and coffee-the perfect
lunch for dieters. Eating an apple is
particularly advised for those working.
If you are "at home" you may prefer
to open can of mountaineering beef
cOnsomme or chicken Jelly. That
will hold you until three in the after
noon-the zero hour. At that time
chocolate bar or a pecan sundae
couldn't be more inviting! You think
that one little piece of candy won't
hurt-but "the more you eat the more
You want" 1t still amazes me how one
little pound of Fannie Farmer candies
can make one gain five enormous
pounds-but there you are! It will
take all your resistance to resist the
candy or the sundae-but you can
satisfy your "sweet tooth" with a tan
gerine and you'll feel quite noble about
the whole thing. Or perhaps you'd
prefer a glass of iced tomato, grape
fruit or pineapple juice. The best
thing about going on a diet is that your
skin improves with your figure Visit
any skin specialist or beautician and
She will advise you to avoid chocolates,
desserts, fats, starches and recommend
fruit juices, broiled meats, and leafy
vegetables for the skin you love to
touch. So you're really killing two
birds with one stone-to coin (D a

Spring Fashions
Stick to Boleros
The Latest Versions Appear
Somewhat Longer.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Hear the good news! The bolero
is to be with us again according to
what's showing in advance spring
fashions. And good news It is, for
if there is one type of costume more
f1attering to the figure than another,
it's the young-looking without look
ing too young) bolero costumes that
prove delightfully."- wearable for
women whether they be slim or not
so slim, whether they be maid or
matron.
There will be no difficulty in rec
ognizing a bolero of 1899 vintage for
the new versions are different. To
be specific, the latest bolero arrivals
are longer. Some reach to the waist
line and therefore sort of take on
an Elton jacket look. In speaking
of the longer bolero we have in mind
the new softly styled bolero two
pieces, which is to say bolero that
tops the fashionable pleated skirt
or the bolero that is worn over a
simple one-piece dress.
Fashion is also spotting another
bolero of entirely different type.
This kind is short, reaching just
to, or possibly a little below, the
top line of the wide corselet girdle
that so slenderizes mid-riff in the
new frocks. The thing that indi-
vidualizes this bolero is that it but
tons down the back. If you are
deploring waistline larger than
the law in fashiondom allows let a
back-buttoned bolero costume be
your FIRST" for mid-season or
spring and your troubles will be
over. Don't take our word for it but
first time you have opportunity try
on one of the back-button styles and
see the magic it works in laking
you look wasp-waisted as fashion

If there is one thing more than
another that fashion promises for
forthcoming suits, dresses and
blouses, it's pockets, pockets, pock-

added from the utility standpoint
but designers are trimming with

If the mother of your favorite
adolescent protests over the peasant

mediator and present the girl with
fuzzy angora head scarf, smart
enough to charm any high school
critic, and warm enough to keep the
wintry winds from nipping her ears.
These also have angora mittens to
match.

When You Select
An Evening Gown

Fashion has given special atten-
ton to the career woman's evening
dress problem this year. If you can
have but one, it should be one of
the new sleeved evening frocks,
which are just as smart on the
dance floor as at dinner, or a decol-
lette gown topped by removable
jacket of the same material.

AS winter freshener-uppers there's
nothing to compare with lingerie

THREE Shattered HOUSES
BY BEN AMES WILLIAMS

She eloped, twenty-odd years ago,
with a man named Jerry Leaford.
Leaford didn't amount to much,
Charley said. He said there was
row at the time, and finally she
and Leaford went home to live with
her folks; and then Leaford left her,
and disappeared for good and al"
He added, and his tones were
somber now: 1.-THE reason Charley
had all this stuff so pat, Mrs. Lea
ford died last night, and he'd been
getting up an obit for her"
"Died?" Clint cried. ''She was
alive"
at wasn't her you saw" Tope
reminded him. ''She must have
been past forty now
"You asked something about
children?" Miss Moss prompted.
81 asked Charley if she had any
children" Tope explained. HE
didn't know They just got flash
about her death, from the district
man out there; and they wanted to
give her a good obit, because of
course Hurder is big advertiser.
Charley said the district man was 60
ing to get all the dope, children and
so on"
The others sat thoughtful, watch
ing him; and the Inspector was ST.
lent for a moment He said at
last with an apologize glance at
Miss Moss:
You'll think I'm seeing things at
night, but-there's something wrong
out there!"
Miss Moss urged slowly: why
do you think so? Mrs. Leaford was
sick, and the telephone was out of
order, and they sent someone for
a doctor Isn't that all?"
Tope shook his head.

ter how big the hurry is, without

what was the matter with Mrs.
Leaford?"

or stabbed, he dies of heart-trou-

the tooth, pain results. Medicaments
will give temporary relief, but mod
ern thought is that the best way to
stop tooth from aching is to re-
ieve its nerve from exposure.
Of course ancient people knew lit
tie Of the why's and wherefores of
toothache and even today many peo-
pie know little of the pathology of
the teeth, with the result that many
of the ancient recipes based on
superstition are still being pre-
scribed today. The ancients did
know, however, that toothache is a
painful thing.
There is story told of a Turk in
Bosnia, who upon encountering a
weeping child, asked, why are you
crying?" When the child replied,
ga snake bit me-" the Turk said,
''That's nothing. I thought you had
a toothache."
The English of old had proverb
which pointed out that ''He Who
Hath Aching Teeth, Hath III Ten
ants" The proverb embodies more
truth than the author realized, for
modern dental and medical study
has shown that aching and dis
eased teeth can upset other tenants
IN the human structure, such as the
heart, eyes, tonsils, joints, etc.
Shakespeare Was Right.
Shakespeare immortalized aching
molars In Much Ado About Moth
ing" when he said:
@For there sUas neuer yet philosopher
That could endure the toothache
patiently"
The majority of toothache rem
edies since time unrecorded have
been applied to the aching member
of the dental arch, but relief of pain
has been sought by the application
of toothache cures to cheeks, nos
trils, ears and even to more distant
parts of the body.
Folk dentistry In all parts of the
world uses almost every type of
plant life for relief, from acorns
to Zulu cherries. The Polish Jews
eat an apple which has been roast
ed with a species of palm leaf over
a fire for tooth comfort. East Indians
inhale an infusion of bamboo.
In Brandenburg a dental genius
discovered" tooth ailments could
be relieved if the sufferer ran
around church three times with
out thinking of a fox.
Another Central European physi-
clan of the Middle ages advised his
patients to bite the head off mouse
and then suspended said head from
the neck. 1t was believed, too, that
a youth would be free from aching
teeth for the remainder of his life
if he wore the canine tooth of a
lion around his neck.
Just as surely" as plants and
animals were infallible cures for
toothache, so were treatments with

it takes something to make heart
fail. Takes quite a lot, too. These
hearts of ours go on pumping pref
ty steadily, unless something hap
pens to them. I'd like to know what
made her heart fail"
He took up the telephone, and Miss
Moss moved to his side. "Inspec-
tor" she urged, sit isn't our bust
ness"
He smiled at her. Let me poke
my nose in," he begged. ST can't
keep out of a thing till I know
He used the phone for a while,
turned back to them again.
"That was Inspector Heale," he
said. "At Headquarters out there.
He hadn't even heard about Mrs.
Leaford being dead. l guess it's
nothing" He grinned at Clint.
Son." he demanded, "what do you
mean, coming in here and stirring
us up this way? Can't a girl 60 for
walk Ii her nightie along a country
road In the rain without starting so
much talk? I don't believe there
was any girl, anyway. How much
did you drink last night, young fell
low?"
Clint chuckled. Had one high
ball." he confessed. "It bores me
to see these kids lushing it UP the
way they do" He spoke to Miss
Moss. This girl I took home, Ma
bel Gaye-she was tight. Bound
she'd kiss me good night. Wanted
me to stay"
Miss Moss smiled at the austerity
behind his words. Shell be CRATE
full to you today" she suggested.
Tope said in a mirthful tone:
"And you no sooner get rid of her,
than another one comes out in her
nightgown to waylay you, Clint.
What is this strange power of
yours?"
Clint laughed, and then the tele-
phone rang. Tope went briskly
across the room. He said:
"Helloi Yes, speaking
Oh, yes, Inspector"
A silence, while he listened Then:
"Yes, thanks"
Another silence; and then Tope
said:
why, I'll come out and see you,
and bring him along. Sure"
He put up the receiver and turned
back to them; and Miss Moss saw
that his eyes shone.
What is it," Clint demanded.
Inspector Heale tells me he
called up the Medical Examiner"
Tope explained. Doctor Derrie
had had no report on the death, so
Heale called the family doctor. Doc
tor named Cabler. He says Mrs.
Leaford died from an overdose of
some sleeping-powder." He added,
after a moment: Accidental"

There was moments silence,
and then he added:
Inspector Heale wants to know

this service and began carrying pas
sengers, cutting the time to 80
hours. Today it is 1914 hours.
This year at least million and a
half airline tickets will be sold in
the United States, officials estimate,
representing public outlay of be-
tween Is and 80 million dollars.
Observation-Disclosures transports
will fly about IS million miles in
1889, or the equivalent of $500
flights around the world.
Just as air travel has increased,
so have airplanes, ground facilities,
and flying aids been improved to
such a point that airlines of the
United States have established world
safety records.
The year 1899 also marks inaugu-
ration of 'round-the-world'' plane
service costing approximately 81, 300
