THRILL FEATURE,
 EARLY NEW YORK,
 AT 10TH CENTURY

The lush and lawless Tenderloin district of New York, as the big spenders, gunmen and police knew it at the turn of the century, is the setting for Paramount's newest Pine- Thomas release, Gamblers Choice" which is showing at the 20th Century.
 Gamblers Choice stars Chester Morris and Russell Hayden dressed up to their celluloid collars in the Esquire manner of the day, and Nancy Kelly, beautiful in lego mutton, ankle-length "figger' dress es. The film moves at fast pace drought the gas-lighted streets of New York to the wide-open gamb- ling houses where the wheel is fix ed as is the district alderman.
 Opening in the year of 1896, three youngsters are nabbed by the police for lifting a mans wallet and one of the boys is sent to reform school. The film jumps to the time of his release. Chester Morris plays the part of the man as he again enters society - his first job that of croupier in big gambling house where he attracts the atten- tion of one of the heaviest betters, 8 handsome widow. With her money he goes into competition with his boss by opening his own club-and the gambling war is on.

This Springs bride will look just as beautiful, and perhaps even more demure, than did her great-grand- mother. She may wear creamy satin or billoWy organdy, but her dress will fulfill her fondest dreams.
 New York's famed designers of wedding gowns are showing lots of bridal dresses inspired by Southern Belle fashions, complete with hoop skirts and bonnet headdreSses. The charming dress pictured is typical, with it's shorter but fuller train, it's wide full ruffles and its quaint ber- tha neckline.
 Other bridal dresses feature apron skirts and peplum effects, and a number have set-in- midriffS to show off tiny waist.
 Very few sleeves are short, since tooay's bride prefers the long, tight sleeve pointed over the wrist or a full, bracelet sleeve. A few dresses have detachable sleeves and trains which may be cut off, to make a lovely dance dress for wear the Summer through. For the most part, though, this Springs bride wants the heirloom type of gown

| BEAUTIEs' HINTS Choose Shoulder
 Pads To Fit You
MIA Staff Wrilrr By ALICIA HART

Squaring of or widening your shoulder lire with dress pads is a good device which many a clever girl uses to improve her figure by making her hips look simmer: by glosSing over the most glaring pos ture fault-slumping.
 But shoulder building can be car ried too far. It goes too far if ex- aggerated padding makes you look like halfback in full football line up. Misunderstanding goes too fa, if you're little bit of thing and you use it to lop off height which is what happens when you widen your figure at any point.
 Pint-sizeS are better off settling for a bit of stiffening at the shoUl- der line-which can be achieved by an inconspicuous shoulder pad with a crinoline base-and not trying to build themselves out to lock like little brigadier generals.

Babin realized Goldsmith had a pretty good hand and that the spade bid was probably control showing bid.
 The play of the hand was cer- tainly good. Babin won the thirc round of hearts and then ran otY the six club tricks, leaving himself with the jack and ten of spades and king and qeen of diamonds.
 A found myself hopelessly squeezed. barred down to the blank king of spades but my opening bad marked me with the king of spades, ace of hearts and ace of diamonds, so Babin went right up with the ace and dropped my king and made his queen of spades.
 If had tried to hold the king and one spade, a heart and the ace of diamonds, he would have thrown me in with a diamond and forced me to lead into the spades.

LOiLlS Ol LIlC Dc" ginning stages, and after the pa. tient has been released from the hospital. she may find it necessary, with special instructions from her physician, to give after-care for a long period of time.
 Like many other types of com- municable disease, poliomyelitis manifests early symptoms such as headache. sore throat, nausea. vomiting, diarrhea or constipa- tion. This is one of many rea- sons that a child with these symp- toms should be put to bed away from other children, and kept there until doctor can diagnose his illness. Especially if the child is known to have been ex- posed, or if there are cases of poliomyelitis in the neighbornood or surrounding community, this precautoin is absolutely neces. Sary.
 CLEANLINESS NECESSARY
 Sometimes the first sign of the disease are increased irritability and pain on being moved, weak ness of muscles, or actual paraly- .is. The doctor should be called 1t once when these signs are present. He will give instruc- tions about supporting the feet, legs, and arms so that the sick person my be completely re- faxed. The crippling after effects of poliomyelitis are caused by the stretching of affected mus cles.
 Another important thing that also applies to the care of al communicable diseases is abso- lute cleanliness. All dishes used by the patient should be washed In soapy water, boiled and kept apart from other dishes. The home nurse should wash her hands thoroughly after handling anything about the sickbed. As In typhoid fever. there is evidence that the injecting organism leaves the body in the intestinal dis charges, be disinfected promptly. that these, ana all other body ois- charges, he disinfected promptly. The physician or health depart ment will give instructions about how this should be done.

down any other important job but home-making without some special training or previous experience, but It IS a common assumption that any women ought to be able to be a good home-maker if she just fol- lows her feminine intuition and her common sense.
 That is probably why both men and women have such little funda- mental respect for the job of a home-maker and why women who are devoting their lives to that job say apologetically when asked what they do: "Oh, I'm just housewife" MUDDLE THROUGH
 It is probably also why so many women muddle through the job of home-making the same women who, with some training, can cap- ably fill jobs in business and in- dustry or make a career for them selves in one of the professions.
