A—10 = MAGAZINE PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, _Late Winter Tailored Frock |Nature’s Children V, VAL SIS BY BARBARA BELL. HIS is an easy frock to make at home. It has the verve and chic that are important in late Winter tailored things. An exceedingly youthful effect is produced by the single-breasted closing—the unique collar treatment and the casual cut of the set-in sleeves. Straight, slim skirts continue to be important. This has a back pleat to give the figure a jaunty air of free- dom and comfort. The same detail is repeated in the waist. You'll see this theme introduced in practically all the general daytime frocks for town and country. The vogue for pockets is deferred to with two of the patched variety, made with shaped turned-over flaps and stitched to the skirt. The simplicity influence, which promises to be strong for Spring, is definitely reflected here. Plain though ‘we thought the mannish shirtmaker frocks of a year ago, these later mod- els go them one better. For they are shorn of every superfluous detail. Frocks of this type are at their loveliest in the soft, elusive colorings we find in the new homespuns—the soft flannels—the supple knits. In- teresting things are happening in combinations and designs. Plaids have grown bigger, checks brighter, stripes more complicated and colors more muted. These are reasons _ enough for the spreading influence of simplicity. Fabrics are demanding | their chance. In the matter of belts there is much leeway. If you like them wide, wide you may have them. Five-inch ones, no less, come in col- ored leathers that pick up the tones of the dress they are on. Short- waisted figures look best in narrow, flexible ones of leather rope. Medium types cling to the safe dimensions of the 1-inch variety. In any event, belts, as decorations, are not to be ignoretl. They add the final touch to every well-made dress. Barbara Bell pattern No. 1536-B is designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Corresponding bust measurements, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 (34) re- quires 23; yards of 54-inch material. Every Barbara Bell pattern includes an illustrated instruction guide which is easy to follow. BARBARA BELL, Washington Star. Inclosed 25 cents in coin for pattern No. 1536-B.

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. Returning Partner’s Suit (Continued). I recall setting a contract through not returning the highest card I held in the suit my partner opened. thing, I could see that I was suspected of either having diabolical powers, -or of being the type of player to whom a peek is worth two finesses, yet the PON one memorable occasion Though neither opponent said any- whole play was perfectly logical.

Since my partner had over- called in clubs, there was no reason to assume that the lead was any- thing other than what it would or- dinarily indicate—the fourth best of his second suit. By virtue of the lead, I could count East for three hearts. Presumably my partner held an ace. I placed him for the ace of -clubs; actually, he held the ace of spades. ‘The only problem was to be sure of taking three heart tricks. If my partner was leading away from four hearts to the queen, there would be no play to the hand. All I'd have to do would be to lay down the ace and king of hearts, continue South.

I went up with the ace of hearts, and played a small heart back. This play is almost sure to| win, no matter whether my partner holds the queen of hearts, or whether he holds the jack of hearts. The declarer ducked to the ten-spot in dummy; my partner won with the jack, and returned a third round which I won with the king. Subse- quently, he took in the ace of trumps.

This is purely a duplicate hand, but the tale of how South held East to four spades, although he had failed to open clubs originally, is fairly interesting from the viewpoint of nice defensive play. Some day “ South will set East at four spades by putting up that kind of defense. (Copyright. 1934.)

It has a fine rec- ord and makes a most wel- come neighbor. It has been cultivated in the northeastern part of our country for some years. Where it has been left to its own sweet will i has established lovely groves, edged streams, and in Canada has covered vast regions that ap- proach the Arctic Circle. ou can always distinguish this variety by its heart-shaped leaves. It is claimed that all the trees are of only one sex and that no one has ever found a father tree. This, scien- tists say, indicates this tree is of hybrid origin and may be from a for- eign source. The tree itself is very handsome and grows to be 75 to 100 feet high, with a sturdy trunk whose gray bark is broken into broad ridges. The branches are greenish and may be smooth or warty. The wood is weak, soft and light brown. The buds are long and slen- der, and glossy with yellow wax. Some folks have said the wax keeps them from freezing. This is not true. The wax coats the bud to keep the water it has within, and prevent it from absorbing more. But in the Winter the glossy bud freezes stiff, a matter that bothers it little. The flowers open in March, some time ahead of the leaves. They are scattered over the trees, in drooping, spikelike clusters. They are hairy, with 18 to 30 stamens crowded on the disc. The anthers are pink or pale red, the pistils are green with spreading stigmas. The leaves are broadly ovate, acute, and are finely and bluntly toothed. The upper surface 1s a glossy dark green, the under side rusty and paler. Usually they are 5 inches long, and dangle from slender stems. In the Autumn they are a beautiful yellow. In May the fruit capsules hang from stems 4 to 6 inches long. The seed is brown and lies on a bed of cotton. The seed baby is thus able to float lightly on the breeze, while traveling, or lie on the surface of the water, as it goes merrily downstream. Besides the wonderful forests to be found in Canada, you will find these trees from Newfoundland to Hudson Bay and Alaska, southward to Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, Idaho, New York and British Columbia. The tree should be planted for its ornamental properties. It is lovely in Winter and beautiful in Summer. It grows gladly and quickly, when transplanted, and asks only for moist ground. What more delightful ex- perience could you wish than to rest unde’r it on a Summer's day. while you waited for a temperamental fish to ‘notice your bait? The fragrant wax is most impor- tant to bees. The moment the sap begins to flow and the wax to soften, myriads of bees rush out to gather “propolis” and store it up. They use the wax to ‘“weather-strip” their hives. Every little crack is sealed with the fragrant wax. In the Far North the Indians know well the value of it and use it to seal their birch-bark canoes, as well as their utensils and dishes made of the same material.

How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. “All Balled Up.” NOWADAYS people get “all balled up” in numberless predicaments, the phrase being generally used wi indicate either a condition of mental | confusion or some physical situation | from which one can with difficulty be extricated. The expression comes to us from the parlance of the country, as ap- plied originally to horses. Years ago, when our roads were not the gliding rinks of the present, snowplows cleaned rather unevenly. As a result, horses that traveled them would soon get their shoes clotted into hard-packed snow pellets, which caused them to slip and stumble. The driver would then have to get down and clean out the horseshoes Dorothy Dix 'Says Stingy Husband Rare as White Blackbird, Cries Masculine Reader—Can Woman Love Two Men? husband. I think the stingy husband is as rare as a white blackbird, and that when this charge is made against a man, it is generally made by a thriftless wife. He wants to save something for the future. She wants to spend everything as they go along. If you could know the inside of the case, oftener than not you would find that when the abused wife is complaining to you of her husband’s parsimony, it is because he is trying to lay up enough to safeguard their old age and to pay on a life insurance policy that will keep her out of the poorhouse when he is gone. There is a lot of difference between stinginess and thrift, GEORGE A. Dm MISS DIX—In regard to what you say about the tightwad Answer—Indeed there is, and one is as admirable and fine as the other is mean and sordid, but the difference between the two is the difference between necessity and the miser spirit. I CONSIDER thrift one of the headliners among the virtues, and the ability to practice it a test of character., Thriftless men and women ~ are invariably weak and self-indulgent, lacking in foresight and judg- ment, and they never amount to anything in the world. You remember that the great railroad builder, Hill, once declared that he could tell what any young man would be 20 years hence. If he could save, he would succeed. If he lacked the ability to save, he would be a failure. I think thriftiness is a matter of duty and honor, because, if we do not lay up something for the rainy day, we become burdens on others. All of us know plenty of young people whose lives are blighted by having to support thriftless parents who should have provided for their old age, but who did not. They spent everything they made as they went along. AMONG my acquaintances are a couple who lived for 30 years on the fat of the land. The husband earned a big salary and they blew it in, to the last cent on travel and fine clothes and expensive cars and entertaining. Then the husband died, leaving the wife without a cent, and she is now a parasite on a poor brother with a house full of chil- dren, who is not able to support her. ‘When people who could provide for themselves selfishly refuse to do so, they are as dishonest as any sneak thief who ever picked the pocket of a relative or friend. . TH.ERE is no man I have more genuine sympathy for than the one who is working hard and trying to save something for the future and who is balked in his endeavor by a spendthrift wife. There are many such women, through whose fingers money slips like water through a sieve, and nothing that their husbands can do ever stops the leaks. No matter how hard the husband works, he can never keep up with the bills. No matter how much money the husbands make, the wives have always spent more. No man can ever make a woman of this type see the necessity for saving, or make her perceive the difference between thrift and stingi- ness. So long as there is a dollar, she burns to spend it, and when her husband refuses to give it to her, she accuses him of being closefisted. THE husbands whose stinginess I deplore are those who have plenty and who refuse to give their wives a fair divide. And there are many more husbands like this than liberal men surmise. You would be amazed to know how many of the wives of rich men never have a penny of their own. They are dressed beautifully. They have jewels that cost thousands of dollars. They ride about in limousines because they are their husbands’ show windows and their husbands ltke to make a good display. But many a woman who carries & hundred-dollar bag in her hand hasn’t carfare in it. NCE a woman told me of having her dressmaker pad her bills so she could get $50 in cash to send to her sister and her little chil- dren, wh‘? were starving. “God knows I have earned it,” she said bitterly, “living all these years with a man so stingy he has neyer given me a dollar of my own. I en servi i on Saturday night.” Vy my servants, who get their wages It is the rich man who begrudges his wife the mone 'y that she earns over and over again that I call stingy. And he deserves the mean man’s medal. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—Is it possible for a woman to be in love with two men at the same time? I love my husband. He is a wonderful man and a good provider and I have been very happy with him, but he is not the romantic type, never says nice things to me, thinks I should take his love for granted, while I am just the opposite type, very sentimental, crave affection. Now I have fallen in love with another man, who is exciting and thrilling. He flatters me, entertains me, and my life is fuller. Of course, I know my place is with my husband, but must I live forever as I have lived with a man who takes me for granted? Has my husband failed me in not trying to keep our love alive? How can I keep this other love from growing deeper? I have no children. C.R. C. Answer—TI think you are having a grand time playing with fire. and that if you don't stop it, you are going to get badly burned. Love aflairs are no safe sport for married women. They always end in disaster. You have a good husband who is a good provider, and a good home, and, if you have a grain of sense in your head, you won't risk losing these by having a flirtation with a man who is probably Just amusing himself and who hasn't the slightest idea of marrying which were “all balled up” with the Snow.

POST: My son and daughter would like to give a dinner party at our club before one of “ these should be mailed?” Answer: The following invitation should be mailed two weeks before the evening of the dinner: Miss Mary Brown and Mr. John Brown request the pleasure of (name written in) company at dinner on Tuesday, the eleventh of December, at 8 o'clock, and to go afterward to the Debutantes’ Ball. “Dear Mrs. Post: I am at a loss to know how to answer an invitation my husband and I received this morning, in which five couples ask us to a dance. We know only the one couple, but even 50, I don’t know whether I dare ignore the others in acknowledging the invi- tation.” Answer: This question is always rather troublesome, because certain of these sharing hostesses sometimes re- sent the omission of their names. It is possible to include five names in the body of your acceptance or regret, but Yyou couldn’t write such a list of names on the envelope. Therefore, it is usual to say. “Mrs. John Jones accepts with pleasure your kind invitation for,” etc. And address the envelope to the one at whose house the party is given, or else to the one you know best, or the one who leads the list. In other words, the only way to answer this type of invitation is to address your letter to whichever of the hostesses you think best. “Dear Mrs. Post: If a boy is forced to break an engagement he has made to go to a dinner, should he offer to get another boy as a substitute? I think the only reason my hostess was ‘put out’ when I had to give out, was that it left her short a boy and she didn’t know whom to ask.” Answer: It is considered bad man- ners to break any engagement, and practically unforgivable to break an engagement for dinner, for the very reason that you give. But unless she asked you to find some one, it was scarcely your place to offer to supply her with a substitute—since it rather implied that she herself would be un- able to persuade any one to fill your place.

Admit 1t when you know you're wrong; The truth will out e'er very long —Danny Meadow Mouse. ANNY and Nanny Meadow Mouse disagreed. Danny was for moving on at once and starting & home elsewhere. Nanny announced that he might go if he wanted to, but she was going to remain right where she was in their home in a jug in a fence corner of Farmer Brown's cornfield. She was not afraid. Farmer Brown's Boy had picked that jug up, but he had carefully put it back just as he had found it, and to her this meant that he would not again bother them. But Danny refused to believe this. | He had been so badly frightened that he had not yet recovered from it, and he told Nanny that she wa. crazy even to think of staying. When he | found he couldn't make her change | her mind he went away in a huff. | e sees me really going she | thought Danny. But in this he was sadly mistaken. | He started at a smart rate, but when | he looked back after going a short | distance, Nanny was not in sight. He waited. Still no sign of Nanny. He crept back a short distance, and still no sign of her. | “Shé thinks t if she doesn’t said he to him- | self angrily. “Well, I'll fool her. If| she doesn't care enough about me to come with me she can stay where she is. She needn't think that I am al- ways going to do what she wants to do. That isn’t a safe place for a home, and she’ll find it out.” With this Danny once more started off. and this time he kept going. ‘There were many little paths through the grass of the Green Meadows, paths made by other Meadow Mice, and Danny kept to these for a while. Once he looked up to see Roughleg the Hawk just as he started down from high above. Danny flattened himself under some overhanging grass and held his breath. It had looked as if it was at him that Roughleg was swooping. But it wasn't. He heard the whistle of wind through stiff wing feathers, there was a sharp squeak | from just shead of him, and then | Roughleg was mounting into the air | carrying a Mouse which had been running just a little way ahead of him. Danny shuddered and abruptly changed his direction. He had gone only a short distance when he had another fright. Yes, sir, he had another fright that caused him to freeze in his tracks. This means that he stopped instantly and re- mained perfectly still, as still as if he had been truly frozen. What was | it that frightened him so? It was Reddy Fox stalking another Mouse é&r‘.

It was long after Reddy had moved on before Danny dared move, and when he did it was with fear and trembling. Once he caught a glimpse of Butcher the Shrike, and once he was sure that Black Pussy the Cat was after him, and for a long time he squatted motionless, his heart | going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with fright. It seemed to him that all the hunters of Mice were on the Green Meadows. As a matter of fact, there was an unusual number of them.

This their hungry enemi~s had found out and had promptlv gone hunting them there before th’ should find safe hiding places. In running now this way and now that to dodge his enemies, Danny had lost track of directions, and so most unexpectedly at last found himself back very near the fence corner from which he had started. There was the old coat from the scarecrow and under it was the jug. Probably all the time he had been having such terrible frights Nanny had been safe and comfortable in that jug. She had been right all the time. That was the safest place after all. He admitted it to himself. He would admit it to her. So Danny turned back to the jug under the old coat and meekly told Nanny that he had come home. “I expected you would,” said Nanny.

All the local care necessary is ordi- nary cleanliness and the injgction of the cold water with lemon juice, as described. The general care is the same as for any illness of any kind anywhere. Eat of the wholly alkalin foods for a time, as the vegetables, the salads, | the fresh unsweetened fruits or their juices, and milk or buttermilk, to build up a measureable alkaline reserve. When again resuming the whole diet- ary, take the starches and sugars at one meal and the meats or other pro- tein foods, together with the acid fruits, at another and separate meal, thus separating the foods into com- patible groups. Empty the colon fully every day by means of the 2-quart cool enema.
