was alone with the Temples in
a rather desolate looking room.
The walls were beautifully dec

rich in color, but there was some
thing definitely wrong with the
room. The fireplace was empty
and black. There were no flowers,
no comfortable litter of magazines
and smoking things. the furniture
was pushed stiffly against the
walls.

Too Tall
Dear Miss Grey: Are low heeled
shoes considered as dressy as high
ones?
The reason I want TO know Is
this--I am way too tall. am
only eighteen and am five feet
ten inches tall and It makes me
feel terrible. ] know the men and
boys don't like tall women and
am extremely self-conscious about
my height.
The reason I like to wear high
heels Is because they flatter the
ankles and make the feet look
smaller. But I don't want To look
like an Amazon and that is what
happens when put high heels
on.
TALL and MISERABLE.
Why should you be miserable ?
There are about as many people
who admire tall women as there
are those who prefer shorter
ones, and many men, am sure,
who think that tall women are
beautiful. / think you are
miserable because you, yourself,
do not admire tall women. but
forget your own opinion and
consider the preferences Of
others. II you do this you will
find many persons who think
the tall women are the real
beauties.

offered them assistance In many
ways, but never at any time did

any time did he pay any real

matter. In case she might have
gosaped to the neighbors as well

To begin with. I think your
husband was right. It Is silly
to imagine that some indirect
letter meant yourself. when you
consider the many similar let
ters that come To a column
like this.
Now let me tell you some
thing funny. Whenever I print
an indignant letter from some
jealous wife. I get about ten
or twenty from women In all
parts Of the city. vowing that
the letter meant each and every
one of them.
| have had letters from sus-
picious wives that occasioned
replies from as many women
out of town as in 1t. If they
knew how common 1t Is for a
column like this To get letters
from jealous wives, they would

agining each and every one of

the case.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER White Rats and Sunshine Vitumir

When Prof. Steenbock found the
way to put Vitamin D in foods he
decided to obtain q patent. The
patent was granted, and was turned
over to the Wisconsin Alumni Foun-
= dation.
From the earnings of the patent,
the foundation has given more than
q million dollars to research work
Brilliant young students from many
places have been granted funds on
which to live while adding to their
knowledge, perhaps paving the way
to some new discovery.
No less important is the work of
checking" which has been going
on while companies have been using
the Steenbock process to put Vita
min D in foods. There is need to
make sure that all products which
claim to have a certain number Of
these vitamin units are giving them
to the public In proper amount.
To carry out the checking, the
foundation has a special laboratory,

Part Score a Boomeruno

A partial score is usually an asset
because many opportunities arise
wherein an additional part score
can be made that will produce the
game. Sometimes, however, q part
score Especially if 1t be only 20 or
80 points can prove boomerang
The reason is this: When once q
player with part score has opened
the bidding and his partner has
responded, the partnership is COM
fnitted to contract which, if made
will be sufficient to complete the
game. Knowing this, a willy op-
ponent may contentedly pass a

Is reached.
