MAGAZINE PAGE. THE E\ENING Shows Dressmaker Influence | The Hay Diet BY BARBARA BELL HE smartest of this Winter's woolen shirtwaist frocks show subtle suggestions of the dress- maker influence in the sof ened treatment of neckline de- and in fullness at the lower sleeve. Our pattern for today is an ideal one for making up the new plaids, stripes and animated checks, because the limited number of seam lines reduces the problem of matching the fabric design. The woolens that make the styl news of the season are soft in tex- ture and active in hue. Some of them achieve their design through a process | of weaving, while others are printed on the fabri¢ in bias patterns, like the one in the sketch. The latter type is easier to use. and gives better wear | over a prolonged period of time. Be- cause of the dramatic quality of these fabrics, dresses are cut on plain, slim lines. Skirts are Mlade in two gores. Bodices are free from intricate details. And sleeves, in general, are made from a straight-line pattern, gathered into & cuff at the bottom. | The chief diversion in this dress is | the back and front yoke onto which | the waist sections are attached with | a fullness that gives a free and easy | fit above the waistline. The dressmaker type of shirtwaist' tails, | frock is obviously less mannish than s rototype of last Summer. And in French eyes it is far more charming, for Paris does not consider it chic to be masculine. Spring will find em- phasis placed upon a general fem- inization of the mode. Softer colors will be used in occasional dresses. And conservative styles will be in- terpreted in newish browns, dark blue, greens and beige.

Choosing Suitable Coiffure BY LOIS N DECIDING the kind of coiffure to use, milady must consider more than the mode. She must think of the shape of her face and features, her neck and throat, as these have more to do with the kind of coiffure suited to her than does the prevailing vogue in hairdressing. As a matter of fact, so many different coiffures are always popular, that it should not be difficult for any girl to find a style particularly suited to herself. Many girls like to wear bangs, and these are usually very smart on tall girls, whose faces are a perfect oval and whose features are fairly promi- nent. They are not at all suited to one who has a fat face and small nose. To those who have a round face with a rather high forehead, the fol- lowing coiffure is particularly be- coming: Part the hair just to one side of the center. The large section of hair should have the merest sug- gestion of a wave across the top of the head, but it should be waved rather deeply at the side. The smaller section of hair recedes from the top of the forehead. comes for- - ward in & wave above the eyebrow, recedes again, showing the temple, | and comes forward in a wave on the cheek. The ends are tucked under and fastened with a wire clip behind | the ears. The back hair is twisted into a small coil on the back of the neck or arranged in sculpture curls. The girl with rugged features— | large nose and prominent chin—must avoid sleek, straight coiffures. She needs a distinctly feminine style of hairdressing with graceful waves and curls around her face. A becoming style is to part the hair on one side, wave it high in the center, and draw it over the ears. Hair that is in the awkward-grow- ing stage may be parted down the middle at the back, then brushed for- ward at each side and on top, to form Filly Polly A Little Chat on Etiquette. BY JOS. J.

Long sidecombs may be inserted be- hind the ears to hold the short hair in place, This is a distinctive coiffure, | the formation of | and is becoming to one with rather ! sharp features, pointed chin and high | cheekbones. The girl with a long, thin neck should avoid short hair. Her hair should be drawn down over her ears and coiled at the nape of the neck or worn in a long bob, with curled ends. On the other hand, the girl with a short, thick neck may wear a bob, if it is molded rather close to the sides of her head. If her hair is long, it would be attractive arranged in a French twist or turned up in a flat bun at the back. If one’s face is thin, it can be made to appear fuller by choosing a coiffure which shows the ears. Other points to keep in mind when selecting a be- coming coiffure are that the face which is inclined to be wide appears wider and fatter when the hair is brought too low over the forehead. When the forehead is low, the hair should be brushed well back from it. The woman with a large nose should arrange waves and curls around her brow and temples. Peach Candy.

BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY, M. D. Atonic Dyspepsia. NY atonia means a lack of normal pep or tone or re- siliency, and atonic dyspepsia is merely the same thing as regards the stomach and in- testinal digestion. Dyspepsia means only difficult digestion, originally confined to stom- ach digestion, but more broadly applied, can in- clude also the digestion of the small intestine. In neurasthe- nia, or deep types of nerve exhaustion, Wwe find this atonic dyspepsia as & prominent symp- thing means Wm. H. Hay, M. D. lack of nerve force, and we must not lose sight of the fact that every organ and every function of the entire body depends on its nerve force for performance. Atonic states of the body are ex- pressing very directly and very plainly a deficiency of some sort in the food, and without the restoration of this deficiency we do not think of getting well and strong again, for this is im- possible. It is safe to say that no case of nerve breakdown ever occurred in the face of full and complete nourish- ment, and as safe to say that back of v such case is a long history of deficient feeding. This does mnot mean that not enough food has been taken for need, but that no matter how much food has been used this did not contain enough of certain ele- ments or salts of some specific kind for the body's every need. With atonic dyspepsia the appetite is very fickle, though the persistent weakness and digestive discomfort are taken to mean that not enough food is used, and the victim is urged to eat more, usually still more of the very foods that had failed so far to supply the deficiency. Frequent eating, forced eating, con- centrated foods, tickling the palate with sapid foods, usually makes up the day of the atonic case, and with every effort to eat more foods of more concentrated character, the gas in- creases, the digestive discomfort grows+ worse, the flesh declines and weak- ness is more and more apparent, till it is not at all infrequent that the sufferer takes to his or her bed for a long time, suffering from what is gen- erally called nervous prostration. It is alwa a simple matter for such case to stop eating entirely, in spite of the urging, for the appetite has for a long time been unreliable, jand is not very positive at any time, but more mental than physical, If all food is barred for a time, till | there is keen hunger and great relish | for food, the atonic state will largely | vanish, and such case is often far ’s(mnger after two weeks of absolute fasting than formerly when consum- | ing far more food than could be i properly digested even in a state of | health. When hunger returns, it is then im- | portant to eat the foods most desired, | | making sure they are not refined or | processed in any way, and combining them with due regard to their chem- | ical necessities. If treated so, it is a simple matter to recover in a few | weeks to such state of health as will | make the suffering seem like a bad | dream. Nervous prostration and atonic dys- pepsia are both the same thing. Both | are a creation of civilized habits of | living, habits far too civilized to have | | embraced the really good mnatural | foods that mother nature is contin- i ually preparing for her children in | every land, and without which it is not possible to be as well as she in- tended us to be.

BY LEE PAPE. ‘WAS around at the firchouse tawk- ing to Mr. Riley, the hooken lad- | der driver, and I said, Did you ever help to put out a fire in a millionair's | house, Mr. Riley?

It appeared he | had to announce us to the family be- | fore we could begin working on the fire, but unfortunately we had no card with us, Mr. Riley said. What kind of a card? I said, and Mr. Riley said, Why a visiting card, |of course. A dook’s butler couldn’t | possibly announce a visiter without having their card on his silver tray. | He'd lose his job and his pride all at { one stroke, and a butler without his pride is even a sadder site than a butler without & job, so a butler with- out either would really be too pitiful an objeck to be imagined. Well, for- tunately there was a printer a mile or 2 away who was willing to oblige by striking off a card with Engine Co. No. 6 printed on it, and we dashed back with it and the butler announced us in ferm but strangled tones and the dook instructed him to admit us and we rushed in just in time to save the family from being permanently suffo- cated, Mr. Riley said. Did you save the house, I mean the mansion? I said, and Mr. Riley said, We saved the outside but the inside was a mess owing to the delay, and the dook was so heartbroken at not be- ing able to invite us to tea that we took him back to the firehouse and fixed up a little tea for him there, but I'm afraid the taist was spoiled for him on account of all the soot on his mustash, and now I got to polish up my hooken ladder.

If a man has to work and provide a home and then be an angel on top of it, will you please state what & husband has & right to expect from his wife?—C. P, D. Answer: A husband has a right to expect love and tenderness and appreciation from his wife. He has a right to expect her to give daily and hourly indication that he is something more than a meal ticket to her. Women are always wailing abou t being heart-hungry, about having husbands who never pay them a compliment or give them a kiss that isn't just a peck of duty or manifest EART-HUNGER is not an excl suffer from it just as much as any sign of affection. usively feminine complaint. Men women do. Husbands want to be petted and fussed over and made much of just as much as wives do, and every husband has a right to expect his wife to make all of his work and sacrifices for her worth while, by being just as much a lover after marriage as she was before. He has a right to expect his wife not to throw away the bait with which she caught him. This goes not only for personal appearance, but for the way she treats him. Before marriage she kept herself dolled up and easy on the eyes, else he would never have picked her out for a wife. him as an oracle, Before marriage she gave him to upderstand that she regarded She was amiable and pleasant to get along with and put his pleasure before her own. AFI'!.'R marriage he has a right to expect her still to keep herself looking neat and pretty and to treat him with the same considera- tion that she did before marriage. If she goes slovenly and doesn’t think it worth while to dress up for husband, and if she becomes peevish and fretful and fault-finding, she is nothing but a cheat who has got goods under false pretenses. A husband has a right to expect his wife to be a good housekeeper and make him a comfortable home. ‘That is her part of the bargain, just as much as supporting the home is his, WHEN a man marries he puts his happiness, his prosperity and his health in his wife’s hands. No man can be happy unless he goes home at night to a clean and orderly home that is filled with the spirit of peace and cheerfulness. No man who is thrifty and economical and proverb says, “A woman can throw teaspoon than a man can put in at can prosper unless he has a wife a good manager, for, as the old more out of the back door with a the front door with a shovel.” And no man can be healthy uhless he is properly fed. Whether a man is able to stand up under the strain of modern business competi- tion and win out or whether he is a physical wreck at 40 depends mainly upon the way his wife keeps house and the kind of meals she sets him down to. failure to support. Bad cooking is just as legitimate an excuse for divorce as is HUSBAND has a right to expect his wife to accept marriage with common sense. After all, every girl knows when she gets married that it is the end of her playtime and it is settling down to the real business of life. There will be hard tions. Sacrifices must be made. But she ever enters matrimony. And the work in it. There will be depriva- the woman knows all of this before husband has a right to expect her to have character and courage enough to take whatever knocks she gets on the chin and not howl because marriage isn't a perpetual petting party, or consider herself a martyr because she has to keep house and bear children. A husband has a right to expect his wife not to offer him up as a sacrifice on the altar of his children. He has a right to expect her to give him as much time and attentio: baby and not to regard him, after th n and affection as she does to the e first child is born, as nothing but a slave to the children. A man has a right to expect his wife to read and keep abreast of the times, so that she may be a companion to him, (Copyright. DOROTHY DIX. 1934.)

Nanny Meadow Mouse, visiting Mrs. Short-tail in a shock of corn in Farmer Brown's cornfield, peeped out to see Black Pussy around a neigh- boring shock. Even as she looked a half-grown young Mouse scampered out from the next shock and started for another. He didn't see Black Pussy, but Black Pussy saw him. Be- fore he was half way to that other shock she had him. Nanny Meadow Mouse shut her eyes as Black Pussy pounced on the young Mouse. When she ventured to open them again, ex- pecting to see the young Mouse dead, she saw at once that he was very little hurt, if really hurt at all. He was just starting to steal away while Black Pussy's head was turned. “He's | going to get away after all,” whis- pered Nanny to Mrs. Short-tail. The latter shook her head and sighed. “I'm afraid not,” said she. “Black Pussy is letting him do that pur- posely just for the fun of catching him again. See that! What did I tell you?” Black Pussy had again sprung on the young Mouse. Now she crouched and knocked him about with first one paw and then the other. She didn’t hurt him. She took care not to do that. But she frightened him terribly. ! “Isn't it dreadful?” whispered Mrs. Short-tail. “I am so glad it isn’t one of my children. And there isn't a | thing we can do about it. She will | play with him that way until she gets tired of it and then will kill | him.” Black Pussy got to her feet as if to walk away.

He took them slowly, carefully. Nothing happened. Black Pussy appeared to have for- gotten all about him. He took some more and still nothing happened. “I do believe she really is going to let him go this time,” whispered Nanny excitedly. It did seem so. That young Mouse vas almost near enough to the next schock of corn to reach it with a quicic short run. He darted straight He was almost to it. “He’s going to make it!” squeaked Nanny. And then Black Pussy whirled about and sprang. A paw came down on the tail of that Mouse just as his nose touched the dry leaves at the base of the shock. Then Black Pussy seized him and gave him a little toss to one side, in- stantly springing after him. He lay quiet, too frightened to move. Black Pussy poked him to make him move. First with one paw and then with another she poked him. She stretched out on her side and played with him between her paws. You would have thought she meant him no harm. But he knew and those watching | knew that in the end she would kill him. She was tormenting him. She would have said that she was having fun with him. “Isn't there anything we can do?” whispered Nanny. “Not a thing,” replied Mrs. Short- tail. “This sort of thing happens over here every gay. It is bad enough to be caught and killed at once, but to be tormented that way is just awful. And nobody around here does it but Black Pussy.” How It Started Magazine, BY JEAN NEWTON. $¢THE English nation,” wrote Ten- nyson, “is Saxon and Norman and Dane,” but the English language, which has gorged upon the lingual delicacies of every quarter of the globe, is not only these, but Egyptian, Hebrew, Persian, Indian, Greek and, among many others, Arabian. This brings us to our word “maga- zine,” which we have from the Arabic “makhzan,” meaning “a storehouse.” This was the meaning it enjoyed for a long period after its adoption by various languages from its source, particularly in military usage, where a magazine was known as a depot for army material. As time passed the word “maga- zine” became enriched in meaning, and from its original sense of “a storehouse” as for grain, military needs and the like, it acquired its modern meaning in addition, of a storehouse of information, knowledge, papers and literary compositions of various sorts, (Copyright. 1934.)

It is so scantily clad in Winter, and looks rather tattered and torn. Its leaves have a sticking quality, that defies the most blustery winds, and when you inspect one of them, you can see what a really determined leaf it is, through and through. Post oaks are not evergreens, just because their leaves are loath to desert their mother. It is just one of the little quirks this tree indulges in. id y&l try to crumple one of the brown, dry leaves in the Winter, you get a distinct shock, as they are so coarse, hairy and tough. In the Sum- mer, when they are new, they form a black, mass-like cover over the tree, that is very pretty. As for the figure, this oak is not what you would call striking. The trunk is straight or continuous, the branches are heavy and crooked, and project almost at right angles with the trunk. Add this to the lonely leaves, and see what you have. The flowers appear in May, when the new leaves are half-grown. The male flowers are in catkins, and are yellow and hairy. The female flowers are almost sessile, and have bright red stigmas. When the leaf is fully grown, the upper surface is a dark, glossy green. The under surface is coated with rusty-brown hairs. Under a magni- fying glass, they are star-shaped, hence the second part of the tree's name, stellata. Each leaf is from 4 to 6 inches long, and with the arrangement of the lobes, gives you the suggestion of a Maltese cross. Should it happen that you see the tree for the first time, and it has for once got rid of its leaves, look for the | short, blunt-pointed buds. usually hairy and covered with many reddish-brown scales. There is also a cluster of four to eight buds, to be | found at the tip of each stout twig. ! When these develop, they are fan- shaped. The acorns of this tree are smaller than those found on most of the oaks. They are not over half an inch long, and one-third of this length is seated in a shallow cup that is made up of light woolly scales. The acorns are sweet and edible. In the early days of our country, | when the woods were filled with hand- some wild turkeys, they fattened on! these nuts. So in time this tree be-| came known, in parts, as the turkey | oak. You will hear the post oak spoken of as a Southern tree. The largest ones are to be found in this part of the United States. In Texas it is the better-known oak in the forest, and in the lower Mississippi Valley it reaches fine proportions. As far north as Massachusetts, and through Penn- sylvania, Kansas nad Iowa, the post oaks are very happy in the sandy soil { and limestone hillsides. There is a close relative of this tree in some of the Southern States. It is | known as the swamp post oak and | over oak. There is little difference between them, except that the acorns are stalked and their cups almost | cover the nuts. Where this tree reaches a large size it is always an important timber tree. and its wod is sold as white oak. Be- cause the wood is so durable, when | placed in contact with soil, it has | been referred to as “iron ocak.” It is used for railroad ties, fence posts, boat timbers, casks and fuel. The “knees” of the post oak always bring a good price. (Copyright. 1034.) . Shrimp With Eggs.

Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 national champion- ships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the one-over-one principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. Double End Play. OME four years ago, Murray Elis of New York City played the following hand in a rubber bridge game. Recollections of its charming and unusual dis- tribution have cung to his memory during the passage of thousands of other inferior hands, so he laid it out for me, triumphantly and accurately, in all its pristine glory, during the re- cent American Bridge League tourna- ment at Asbury Park. It may have been bandied about in hundreds of bridge columns since it was first dealt, but it appeals to my fancy as well as to his, so I am presenting it to you. Mr. Elis, sitting South, reached the normal contract of four hearts. East evidently got discouraged after he had bid clubs five or six times, or perhaps he was vulnerable. At any rate. the opening lead was the eight of clubs, and South tramped East's jack.

RALEIGH y HIS CLOAK ON THE GROUND FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH TO WALK ON IT. INGLISH historians find no valid evidence that Raleigh ever laid | his coat in the mud for Queen Eliza- beth to walk on.

BY IKE everything else that has to do with daily living, borrowing has its psychology. And here are some of the mental developments of those | who chronically live beyond their | means. 1. The borrower develops a forget- tery. In time he forgets that he owes certain debts. Have you any bor- rowed books at your hpme? 2. He tends to look with suspicion upon his creditor, and to assign to him all sorts of faults which he really Is there a big banker in any city who has escaped unjust imputations? 3. The borrower loses a sense of values. Borrowed dollars, like bor- rowed books, are easily “lost.” 4. The borrower multiplies his obli- gations. This leads to playing one friendship against another. Have you ever noticed the number of new friend- ships that the chronic borrower digs up? p5. Finally, the borrower develops that mysterious mental disease known as kleptomania. He has abused the | instinct to gather wealth so long that Dodsons, which was given the name | of “Dodson’s Plantation,” in America was in 1631 in Virginia. During the Iatter part of the Revolution and at its | close Dodsons began their penetration ' further inland, and many of the Vir- ginia family settled in the Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri. Among those settling in Kentucky were Jesse, Jethro, Leon- ard, Willilam and Rollo Dodson.

Quarreling BY ANGELO PATRL THY do children, even brothc and sisters, quarrel so amon themselves? For the same reason that grown people do. The children have not acquired the art of covering their wish to dispute with their neighbors, and the grown-ups, for the most part, have acquired it. Children quarrel because they think differently about things. One wants to make a bridge and the other says. no, & house. One likes a playmate and the other dislikes him and each | defends his side. That is all there is to it. Differences make occasions for quarrels. When children think about alike they seldom quarrel. They may disagree, but usually without violence It is when the difference is wide and deep that the span cannot be bridged and they fight. The span of difference between ages is one reason for quarrels among children. A 3-year-old child and a 5-year-old differ widely in social ex- | periences. The 5-year-old child usually | has a maturer outlook, broader fields | of interest, deals with more complex ideas than the 3-year-old. In conse- quence, the two cannot bridge the span of their differences. They ir- | ritate each other. The stronger one | tries to force the weaker one to his way and the quarrel is on once more. Girls and boys of the early teens, the 12-year-old and the 13s, are often at loggers ends. They have little in common. They irritate each other because of the difference in interests. The boys are all for noise, action, rough play, the rough-and- | ready swagger of the playground, | while the girls are missish and nice and superior. War is inevitable be- tween them. ‘The best we can do to keep the | peace is to frown upon the rows and the minute the trouble starts separate them. Keep them apart long enough | to allow the isolation to impress itse!f | to their inconvenience. Half an hour |is no use. A half day, a week, s better. When you find that & brother and sister cannot meet without a fight, try to arrange things so that each has friends closer to his own social age. Let the boy have his group and the girl hers, and avoid the mistake of making brother and sister play together because “he is your brether,” or “she is your sister.” Let the boy go his way and the girl hers for the time. They will return to each other when this stage has been passed. It is not fair to force a brother to escort his sister when there is antagonism between them. Let it pass and provide other associa- tions for both. (Copyright. 1934.) FOODS recommended by DR. HAY Trotose Meat Loaf Batile Creek Veretal s,
