WOMAN'S PAGE. Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROTHY N\ STOTE. Dear Ann, Judy wanted a lace dance frock to take away with her. Now, Judy is tiny—but Judy, bless her little heart, is also wise. So she chose a frock with & rather long walstline, so that, in spite of the fact that the dress is a bouffante model, she acquires a nice long line which makes for height. A natural waistline would have made her seem tinier. Yours for knowing whers to waist, if vou follow me, LETITIA. (Copyright. 1926.)

Slowly he took in the mean- ing of Jimmy’s presence there. Then he laughed. “Do I understand,” vou gave an order?” agreed Jimmy icily, his eyes pinpoints of danger. “To be obeyed right now!"” Rogers gave a short laugh, sneer- ingly, and raised the glass once mor There came a short, breathless excl mation: Jimmy's hand darted upward d in the next second the glass shattered on the floor. With an oath, the millionaire drew np his fist: but he was too late. Jim- my had been expecting his reaction. Almost in the same instant, his own st crashed forward straight from the shoulder and struck Rogers just under the jaw. The latter stumbled, caught wildly at the rail, and then tumbled to the floor. “Damn_you——!" he uried sling to his feet. But Jimmy found himself caught at either side by Rogers' two com- panions, and hustled to the door. He was pushed out, while Rogers tumed behind him. Then his anger died as he realized what he had dove. He had violated the rules and the sanctity of the club. he mused, “that strug= He gave an angry jerk and threw off his captors, who were remonstrat- ipg with him, and a moment later, took the elevator to his own rooms. Angrily he tossed off his coat, de- termined to forget the affair, and plunged into his plans. A map of «the world was laid out on his bed. Ila pored over it. He had alresdy noted steamships and schedules for the entire trip. He would flv himself to Cleveland, refueling there and going on to May- wood, on the outskirts of Chicago, whers he could pick up a pilot, for whom he had already telegraphed. From there to Cheyenne, where he would airive the following morning. The last leg across the continent would be by plane from Chevenne to Seattle, where he could board the Adrienne, which left at midnight of the same day, for Yokohama. Thus far, he reflected, if Rogers chose the same carriers and_route they would be neck and neck. Unless Rogers missed the Seattla boat, which was hardly possible, since his money could command the finest of which could make the jump Jimmy was interrupted in his re- flections by the ring of his room telephone. Recalling the scene at the bar, he went to the instrument with a grave face Billy Crane's voleo answered his “Hello. ‘Did you know you were posted Aown here?” his friend asked. “Posted ?” Jimwy groaned. “What does it say’ “You're suspended from the club nginning tomorrow noon until the board of governors acts.

Half an hour Mter, Billy Crane *mok his departure, frowuing over the story. He left Jimmy in his -aom, still bent over his maps. Billy was not at all certain as to what action the governors would ‘ake on the affair at the bar. Though a member of the board him- self, he knew that his friend had committed a grave offense against the decorum of the club. There had never besn a blow struck within its vortals before. It ell depended, as he had told Jimmy consolingly. on the outcome of the trip. For the present, Rogers was powerful and rvich. But if 14 v_beat the world record in the Beauties and Society Leaders the World over secure that bewitching, attractiv touch to their the globe. race and beat Rogers too, his new fame would very nearly assure his standing. Natalie was tn the Ibrary when he entered. She sensed a disturb- ance with & ready comprehension that was part of her makeup.

If he 1s, he’s the kind of a fool I——" She stopped suddenly, her éyes falling. Billy nodded. “TUh-huh. You, too. T suppose it's a case of birds of « feather. But it won’t do you &ny good, so hop into your laces. We're due at the dance in two hours and I've already had experience with your speed in dressing.” With that he stalked heavily from the room. Natalie regarded the closed door with & dubious ex-~ pression in her slightly amused eyes. Then the amusement left them aad she ran into the corridor. 'Oh, Billy “Huh?" came & grunt from brother’s room. “ls Frances Lassiter .coming to the dance?” “Yes. Why? But there was no reply. Natalie hurried into her room and with the assistance of & maid, began to dress for the affair at the Long Island Country Club. Natalie Crane had elready guessed, piecing together what Jimmy and her brother had previously told hex with the report of the quarrel at the club, that the proposed trip was in- timately connected with a rivalry be- tween the two men over Frances Lassiter. Woman's intuition had told her that in the first place, when Jimmy had admitted where the wager had been made. How deeply Jimmy was involved, of course, daid not know. But she did know that she wanted him to win, whatever the stakes, for his own saka Consequently, she was et pains to meet and talk with the girl whom she had seen but once befors-— Frances Lasster, darling of the younger set, into which she and Billy were just returning, after a pro- longed period of mourning following the death of their father, which had left them alone with each other. Frances Lasaiter, however, showad no particular disposition to cultivate her. In fact, it became quickly evi- dent to Natalie, @8 the dance in the big ballroom began, that I'rances was not particularly interested in cuiti- vating any of the girls about. Jimmy was not present, but she danced with first one and then an- other of the numbers of unattached young men about. Rogers was there. her Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Simple Goiter. The word goiter is used to express an enlargement of the thyrold gland. It is due to a need for fodine existing in the thyrold gland, and this lack is brought about by a deficlency of fodine in the food, the water and the alr. There are definite goiter sections existing in the United States, and the prevalence of goiter is far more marked in these regions than in other territorfes not so deficient in fodine. mple goiter is a swelllng in the thyre gland and this occurs quite frequently in young girls and boyvs and in women during the pregnant period. When the amount of fodine takon into the system is ‘nsufficient it | .5 during this period, when greater de- mands_are being made upon the thyrold gland, thut the swelling oc- curs. it has been found that even in goltrous reglons young girls may, without the use of drugs or any out- side alds, show a gradual reduction in the size of the golter after puberty is passed. ‘The sources in fodine in nature are milk. cereals, leafy vegetables, some fruits, and water derived from non goltrous sections. Sea salt, seaweed, soa foods and sea water are rich in lodine, so that sections of the coun- try where use is made of sea foods and where the air is rich in fodine will show many less persons suffering with goiter. It is conceded that if one eats a generous and wholesome diet contain- ing those foods rich in fodine one is hardly likely to develop goiter, ex- vept a slight enlargement due to the causes stated above. It 8 not neces- sary. In fact, to give much thought to one’s iodine intake unlees such an eulargement has begun. Then one should coneult a physiclan, who will describe proper doses of iodine, which will make up for the systematio lack.

Most of these lacks can be taken care of without eny more thought than should be given to & con- sisting always of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grain cereals, or breads made of whole grains instead of refined white flour. Providing one sees that these foods appear on the table daily, in one or another, one can squeich any panic due to & fear that one won't have all of the necessities for bodily health and vigor. ‘When goiter i{s present even in its simplest and most easily curable foria one must then make up the lack by the use of iodine in greater amounts than the person is able to get in the diet, since it is plain that for this particular person his system needs more than his dlet can or does Bupply.

But something more poignantly real is there, too, in a little corner room, on a quiet corri- dor in the basement floor. The after- noon sun was streaming into it pleas- antly when the writer visited it to talk to its chlef, Miss Margaret Moc- Guffey, and it was full of the soft noises that are habitual to a reading room. It is not an ordinery reading room, however, but a place set apart for the blind.

Occastonally now in the lagp end Bift shops one sees a modern reproduc- tion of an old Astral lamp. These lamps belong properly to the empire peri and when true to type have color: bowls mounted on bronze pedestals and are decorated with prisms to catch the lamplight and be- dazzle the eye. The simpler Astral lamps were often made in two colors, having opaque white bases with green or blue opalescent bowls. During the Victorlan era a new and hopelessly elaborate version of the Astral lamp came into being. It had a heavy marble base, frosted globe and countless prisms.

She is a_ graduate of the Albany Library School, and was for many years in charge of the circulation department of the Bos Public Library, beginning at the time when the Sargeant and Abbey pi tures were being installed. Then for six years she was here in Washing- ton as secretary of the Library of Congress, with a subsequent year as chief of the order division. But the desire for closer contact with people than she was able to get in her library seclusion sent her out to Cincinnati and into social service there for 12 years more. After this she went to New York with the Na- tional Girls' Friendly Socfety, and later with the New York Bureau of Labor, where she was particularly interested in the immigrant aliens and their problems. The fact that she had spent, in all, flve years abroad at ene time and another made her especially sympathetic with their point of view. ‘These human contacts were prepar- ing her for something still different, however, and when she was offered the opportunity to come back to ‘Wash! on_ to take up the helping of the blind, she realized that here was @& call that would use to the utmost all her experience and under- standing.
