WOMEN’ Buttercup In Blossom, . Lace Motif Springtime Efforts May Produce This Floral Feature. BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ONE of the ways crocheted lace and stitches often take their names is from their motif forms which re- semble flowers, leaves, etc., as found in blue bell lace, rose leaf insertion and edging, moss lace, pineapple lace and the buttercup lace, directions for which I am giving today. This is oot & new edging design but one which dates back to the days of the designer, Eleanor Arnold, to whom credit is due. A lace with motive of Spring flowers is delightfully season- able. To this is added the fact that lace is 50 much in evidence now. The fashion of the hour may be followed | by the woman who crochets without | the trimming for lingerie costing | more than the spool, or spools, of fine | thread of cotton or linen, as may be | preferred. ; The buttercups are made separately | and . joined.

Each buttercup as made is joined to the strip. The heading is put on when length desired is made. The lace can be as deep as wanted | by adding more rows of buttercups.

S FEATURES., MYRTLE'S GUILE Jessica Loved Clothes, and That Everard Would Provide Them. BY FRANK KERN LEVIN. HEN Myrtle introduced Jessica to Ev- erard she was wearing her new red corduroy dress, trimmed in blue. That made things so much better. For the dress was 5o beautiful, and Everard in his heavy, direct way was so handsome. “This is Jessi-a,” said Myrtle flip- pantly. You could tell from the in- tonation of her voice that she was 4 entirely certain that Everard would not be in the least interested, and she went on. “I've told you about Jessica. Really, she’s the strangest creature. Aren't you Jessica? She just doesn’t care about anything but clothes.” | From the very beginning it was ap-/ parent that regardless of whether “One dress af less, in fact, of what she was or was a mistake. Everard stood tall with his head| of shaggy brown hair thrown back.| Myrtle might just as well not have| been there—for he saw only Jessica. He saw a little girl with blond hair that was all curls, with impertinent and very red lips, and in a red cordu- roy dress trimmed in blue that made her look very like a doll. “Well, Everard, I think we should | “Going where?” Everard asked. | “If youre not going anywhere,’| said Jessica, “why don't you stay? | We'll have tea. And Myrtle can play | the piano. Have you ever heard Myrtle play the piano? She’s just so talented. So different from me—I| can't do a thing. I guess all I really| care about is clothes.” | “Yes,” Everard said to Myrtle, | speaking to her for the first time since his eyes fell on Jessica. “Why don’t you play the piano? You play, and Jessica and I shall dance. I know | you really don't care to dance any- way.” “And I don't care to play the piano | either right now,” Myrtle snapped. “I'll tell you what,” said Jessica. “What?" asked Myrtle trying to be | sarcastic. “I'll show Everard some of nly new dresses. They're the loveliest dresses, | Everard. Would you like to see them?” “There she goes. I told you she| wasn't interested in anything but clothes,” Myrtle declared. “Well,” said Everard in a matter- | of-fact manner, “there doesn't seem| to be anything else to do and besides | it might be interesting.” | Jessica needed no more encourage- ment than that. She brought forth | one dress after another. She not only | showed her new things, but some of | her old ones. Everard became ever so much more interested. He helped | Jessica carry the dresses out of the clothes closet; he helped her carry | them back in. And once as they stood together at the door of the clothes closet, and out of sight of Myrtle, he sai I Finer---With ‘SALADA ‘oF GO | glad to see anybody. | said after five or six minutes, when | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1935. DAILY SHORT STORY-: She Made up Her Mind “Is it really only dresses that you care about? Don't you think you could learn to care 4 about = something else?” “What, for in- stance?” asked Jessica. “Me stance,” for in- returned Everard. Jessica looked up at him. Hand- some, smiling, un- kempt, clothes needing a press— but handsome. And with a little twin- kle in his eyes that made him appear to have a secret that he would tell if he wanted to— funniest Hitle twinkle. Any wom- an could learn to love a man with eyes like that. “Well—I don't ter another.” But Jessica said: know.” But that was enough for Everard. Everard took Myrtle home, and the | he came back to see| Jessica alone. She was wearing a dress of white satin that clung to| her, and swayed with her when she| moved, and seemed to make her every | gesture a thing of beauty. Everard and Jessica had a very good time together that night. Everard found Jessica so beautiful, and Jes- | sica found Everard so different. It| wasn't his handsomeness alone; there | was a clean healthiness about him.| He was part of the earth, as men | thould be—he bore about him an aura reminiscent of tall trees and swiftly running rivers. It seemed to Jessica and Everard that one good time deserved another. It kept on seeming that way to them. And after six months Myrtle learned that Jessica and Everard were en- gaged to be married in the Spring. And it was only a matter of days be-| fore Spring would be fully come. Myrtle immediately went to see Jes- | sica. “I'm so glad to see you!" Jessica exclaimed when she saw Myrtle, and it was a fact. She was happy and “I hate to tell you this,” Myrtle | it didn't appear too abrupt, “and I| only tell you because I know how much you love clothes. But did you know that Everard is & devout nudist? Did you know that he was thinking of starting a nudist colony. It's all right now; but think how it'll be after you're married. You'll just have to be a nudist, my dear.” “It's funny,” Jessica said holding back her tears, “it's funny, but he never told me. Oh, what shall I do?” “Do, nothing,” a voice said, and it was EVerard’s voice. He glared with such harshness at Myrtle that she half ran, half stumbled away. “Do noth- ing. I stopped having any ideas about being a nudist today. I just got a job as salesman in a men'’s clothing store.” (Copyright. 1935.) ‘Tomorrow—"Honored Guest.” by Marie Stewart Smith, is a rollicking account of a husband’s attempt to aid friend wife's plans for a formal luncheon. Richer Flavor Enlarged Heart Has Rare Peril Worry Should Not Be Aroused if Hard Work Is Cause. BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. I!’ der about about it. . The heart enlarges because it is doing more work than usual, elther due to working and exercising or be- cause there may be some obstruction to the blood flow somewhere in the body—the kidneys, for example. Now a heart that increases in size from hard work or exercise is usually a strong, slow heart. It has been called on to do extra work regularly and it increases in size up to a certain point. However, a heart that increases in size due to the blood vessels not having enough elastic tissue to open widely when blood is pumped through them gradually loses some of its power de- spite its increase in size. It becomes larger on the left side, because this is the part of the heart that has to pump the blood to all parts of the body—to In some cases of heart ailments the weight may go up to 16 ounces—1 pound—and in some very bad cases the weight of the heart may be nearly 2 pounds. You can thus see that enlargement of the heart need not be any cause for worry—in fact, worry may increase the blood pressure and actually further enlarge the heart. . Th;—éardener Cabbage Group. YOUR physician tells you that your heart is slightly enlarged, it is only natural that you should won- it and perhaps worry THE cabbage group includes early | and late cabbage, caulifiower, broccoli, kale, collard, Brussels sprouts and kohlrabl.

Now the heart may be gradually enlarging for years without the indi- vidual realizing it, as there may be no symptoms whatever. Should he find himself getting out of breath easily and decide to take things more easily, the enlargement may increase very slowly and no symptoms oceur. The natural question is just how much larger a heart can become be- fore there is real danger. Your doctor will tell you that if the blood pressure is not too high and no complications are present, the heart may actually increase to half as much or even to twice its natural size and the body is able to do the usual amount of work safely.
