w OMAN'’S PAGE Treatment of Spots and Stains BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Spots and stains are two different things, although a stain is a spot in the sense of being 8 mark on another material. A spot, however, is not a stain. t is caused by the addition of A s some liquid or substance extraneous to stance unchanged from its original tone anc unmarke Not even a ‘“ring’ should remain. The textile is not actu- ally affected. lX stain is a discoloration. This change in hue may be a deepening of tone, an actual change in color or the elimination of color. The stain has to be so changed that the textile is altered to its original color. The agent, there- fore, acts as a restorative rather than a remover. Most_spots can_be removed without great difficulty. Stains are not nearly so easy to manage, and a combination of spot and stain is the most difficult of all to take out and leave the textile unchanged. The combination spot and stain is caused by a compound sub- stance. As many foods consist of va- rious ingredients in combination, the spot-stain is frequently found. A sim- ple spot-stain is caused by ice cream in which the fat of the cream makes the spot, while the acid of fruit juice causes the stain. Such a mark has to have two agents used to change it, one a removing agent, such as hot water, gasoline, etc., and the other a restora- tive of a chemical nature. The latter may dye the textile if the color has been taken out, or restore the original color if it has been changed. Fresh fruit stains, for instance, can be removed in the majority of cases if the stain is immediately put under a stream of hot water. It is essential to know that the color of the textile will not be changed, made lighter, for in- stance, by such a stream of water. If the textile is white, as table napery, the hot-water treatment is excellent.

Diets are such tricky things that any woman who is overweight and wants to | reduce must really take a little thought | about what she eats or does not eat. I know one woman who had colitis, though she did not at the time know it, who was sure the obvious enlarge- ment of the abdomen and the bad feel- ings she had were due to too much meat and too much starch. It is well dgown that starch ferments when too much is taken or when the system does not absorb it. So she cut off meat and almost all starch and lived for some months on fruit and vegetables. As it happened, it was the worst things she could have done. She reduced, but the inflammation grew worse. Eventually. an intelligent specialist put her on a diet containing no fruit at all, and the only green vegetable was spinach! S0, in the end, we drop fancy diet systems and come down to one very sensible idea. Eat what you generally | eat; that is, the food you know agree with you and that you like. Cut out simply a few of the most fat-producing ones—ham, bacon, pork or sausage. Don't eat pieces of fat. Don't eat any food fried in fat—it is well known that fried foods are much harder to digest. Cut out the most fattening of the starches—potatoes, bread. Cut out rich mixtures, cakes, pies, ice cream, pud- dings. You've plenty of foods left. Work 1t all out s0 you do not eat more than a certain number of calories a day. ‘The number comes to 1,100 or 1,200. On this amount you reduce about 2 pounds & week, which is the healthiest rate. If you lose less, several weeks count up your calories, for there is something wrong with the counting. ‘You must lose weight on this amount. If you lose more, increase the number of calories a little, for 3 pounds is enough to lose—after all, it's 104 pounds in a year! C. A—Stop the sun light treatments, since you they cal the fine fuzz to grow on your face, and this may never get any further. Sometimes per- sons become alarmed when they notice for the first time that their faces are covered with a fine soft down. Every- body’s skin has this, and it is not seen, and it really softens the appearance of the skin. If it becomes conspicuous in places, bleach it with peroxide; it is gods, but the lemon vould take color out of dyed fabrics. It requires an expert to treat difficult spots and stains. Amateurs may make Jad matters worse by attempts unless backed by knowledge. It is amazing how many times experts will refuse to guarantee success. They do not wish to assume responsibility of failure. This indicates, however, that difficulties lie |in the way of one who tries to do that in which experts decline to give assur- ance of success. i Salmagundi.

A stick of camphor ice rubbed over your chapped lips would heal them and without any bad effects afterward. M.

Fifteen years later I was a doc- tor myself, had an occasional diph- theria case, and an occasional kid of my own. I never worried an instant about the possibility of carrying diph- theria home to my own children, Didn’t I could carry it unless I caught it myself or happened to be what we now call a *“ r.” For it is pretty generally conceded that vermin excluded, no known disease is carried in or by clothing, the hair, papers, books, money and the like. We know that even the most con- tagious of the communicable diseases are not carried from person to person in or by the air. Whether we under- stand these things clearly or not, it is certain that intelligent folk today do not w much about a case of diph- theria in the neighborhood, as long as they are satisfied there has been no in- timate personal contact with the pa- tient in the incubation stage, or since the onset of the iliness.

BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JOMN MUNCE, JR. Today's talk is a continuation of the discussion of the plays from dummy. If the dummy hand contains the ace, queen and one small card, or the ki and two small cards, and the cl hand holds nothing but small cards, the proper play would be the small card on the first trick. By dninf this you find out what h_cards of this suit are held l;y third hand. Should the closed hand contain the ace. jack one small card, or the ace, 10-spot one small card, or the aueen. 10-spot and one small card, and thec dummy contain tke king and one small card, 1t is better to Pll! the small card from dumnty. It will usually mean iwo tricks in the suit for the larer when the queen, 10-spot and one small card are held in the closed hand, but i#f {nu lay the honor, the king, the result mfgh be only one trick in the suit. When the dummy holds the queen and one or more small cards always play the small card from dummy when the closed hand contains the jack and two small cards. In this play of the low card you are insured one frick in the suit, and more cannot be inade with is holding. If the honor should be the adversaries would win every , whenever the ace and king are divided. Should dummy’s hand contain the played from dumm Needless Pain! Some folks take pain for granted. They let a cold “run its course.” They wait for their headaches to “wear of?.” f suffering from neuralgia or from neuritis, they rely on feeling better in the morning.

This means declarer will win two tricks in the suit, whereas had he played the honor the result might have been the winning of only one trick. All the plays given above are from | Th the dummy when the contract is no trump, and the leader is leading his own suit, and there has heen no bid from leader's partner. ‘When you are playing a suit contract | there are several things to be consid- ered which do not enter into the no- d| trump declaration, and we, therefore, have to adopt very different methods for tlt:e play dummy when playing a suit. When a small card is led against a suit bid declarer realizes that it may be from a short suit, or it may be a singleton, and with the ace in dummy, it it is not played on the first trick, it | may be trumped the next time. t| that if the lead be from a long suit the partner of the leader is likely to be short and will be able to trump Don't alitosis RES :.:le uu;ned time f-hllflult is led. may necessary for the dumm: take the first trick, so as to lead a trump up to the el Unless a king is led in a suit tion the leader would not to have th 3 It is really impossible to of plays from dummy in a tion which would be of any real value. e declarer often can determine whether the lead is from a long or short suit by the size of the card led, but in many cases he has to guess, being guided largely by the bidding, as well as the general make-up of his two hands. For example, if dummy holds the ace, queen and jack of the suit led and declarer thought the lead was from a singleton, he would play the ace, if he thought it was from any other combination he would play the jack.
