tie say the precordial pain they de- scribe may occur in persons whose cardiovascular system is normal they mean that the ordinary meth- ods of examination. reveal no sign of organic disease. But we must re- member that the art of diagnosis has not yet compassed the recognition of the earliest stages of chronic de- generative diseases when the mani- festations or symptoms are purely functional. For instance, the physi- cal examination an applicant for a large life insurance policy undergoes includes no functional tests of the circulation, the heart, the respira- tion, the liver, the kidneys. Neither does the thorough physical exam ination" the client gets from the most capable physician today. This shortcoming of diagnosis will be cor rected in the course of another gen. eration as the art of medicine catches up with the advance of the science. The principles on which medical practice is based at present are those of morbid anatomy. per- manent, demonstrable structural changes which are generally ire versible, and hence, well, not too responsive to treatment. It is un- derstandable that therapeutic nihil- ism," lack of faith in any form of treatment, prevailed among prac- titioners trained in that tradition.
 Drs. Moia and Battle, having ob- served the beneficial effect of in- creased vitamin B intake in various cases of nervous diseases attended with pain, tried giving these pa tients with pain in the heart region vitamin B. The pain disappeared completely in forty out of seventy eight cases.
 I believe vitamin B (and I think the B-complex is always best) is specifically helpful in weak heart. It seems to me that an adequate daily intake of B-complex really does for the heart function what old time doctors imagined or hoped digi- talis would do.

VITAMIN B-COMPLEX FOR
 WEAK HEART

A type of pain in the region of the heart, discussed by Drs. B. Moia and F. F. Battle in the May-June, 1889. number of Revista Argentina de Cardiologia, Buenos Aires, must be distinguished from angina pectoris and the pain from coronary occlu- sion.
 The Argentine doctors say this type of pain may be either mild or acute and persistent or repeated but never paroxysmal (that is, in sudden severe attacks like angina) or con- stant. They say it may occur in per sons whose cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) are normal or in patients who have cardiovas- cular disease.
 Right here or Doc Brady, who doesn't know enough to get out of draft, diffidently remarks that in most instances it is difficult to draw 8 line between, say, normal arteries and the early stage of arteriosclero- sis; as difficult as it is to determine precisely when an individual ceases to be young or youthful and begins to be old.

 He will probably lead the ace and a small diamond from dummy West will win and return a trump, Dummy wins with the ace and a diamond is ruffed by South. His other small heart is ruffed in dum- my, but now declarer finds himself in a jam. Whether dummy plays the fourth diamond or the ace and a small club, the defenders are bound to win two trump tricks and defeat the contract.
 The correct play is to win the first heart, then play small club and duck. If the defenders lead trllmps to limit the heart ruffs. dummy's entries are intact and the club suit can be set up and run. If hearts are returned to try to weaken declarer's trumps, the cross-ruff will be adequate be- cause South gets quick re-entry through ruffing the third club.

figured draperies. But if you have lowered wallpaper, the plainer the curtains, the better.
 Generally speaking, over-curtains should be lined and weighted. Plain inexpensive sateen in a neutral shade is most popular for lining. Glass curtains need no lining, of course, and only the draw varieties are weighted.
 The greatest single mistake you can make is to have skimpy drap- cries at a window. Use material no less than 40 inches wide at .36- inch windows. Fifty-inch material is even better. In formal rooms, bottoms of over-curtains may touch the floor. Or they may be from three to ten inches longer than necessary and allowed to lie on the rug in soft folds. In the average room, however, over-curtainS just miss touching the floor. They should be no more than one inch from it, however. f

 PINCH-PLEATING
 IS MOST POPULAR
 Practically all over-curtains are pinch-pleated at the top. So are many glass curtains. They should be as carefully made as fine lingerie with as little as possible of machine stitching showing. Fixtures, whether simple poles or more elaborate cor nices, should be of first quality. Cheap poles, haphazardly put up, have a tendency to sag in the mid- dle. When they do, the entire room takes on a don't-care-nobod lives here-anyway air.
 Seldom are glass curtains and overcurtains put on the same rod. For the former, simple poles are fastened across the top of the glass inside the window. The latter may hang from poles above the window, from underneath 8 cornice made of wood, glass or mirror or may be

 Heads turned and admiring eyes followed the dark -haired girl who walked across the hotel lobby.
 Other women, every bit as at- tractive as she, melted right mo the crowd.
 Why did the dark-haired girl stand out from the others?
 Because she walked with a proud knowledge of her beauty.
 Her head was high, her walk Tree and easy and graceful. Her carriage said two things quite plainly. I'm 9 beautiful woman" And, I'm very much alive and alert" I
 None of the. other women, for all their good looks and expensive clothes, had that easy, graceful car riage.
 one stood straight enough, but he- head was thrust forward.
 One, teetering on high heels, took short, nnincing steps, making her look anything but graceful. Another slumped eS the waist. Had she stood correctly she would have been a full inch taller. One of the greatest assets a woman can have is graceful, proud walk. And yet the majority of wo- men, often even those who experi- ment and experiment to find the right lipstick ana the perfect hair arrangement. dc nothing about their carriage.
 TAKE DAILY
 CHECK UP Make it rule to check up on your walk several times day. When you are conscious of being tired, alter hours of shopping, take a peek in a mirror and see if you are adding to your fatigue, as well as broadcasting it, by slumping and sticking your head forward. - If you are doing that, stand as tall as you can, lift your chest, but avoid an exaggerated hollow in the middle of the back. Then walk as though you were starting out for an early morning pleasure jaunt and see how much less tired you feel.
 Don't forget, many a woman with just average features and figure has won reputation for beauty by 8 spirited, confident, glad-to-be-alive walk.

The more success g. woman ex- poets to achieve in the business world the more she should fight to retain her femininity.
