Difficulties That Can Be Avoided

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D THE rare of the mother-to-be Im •»( extreme importance, not only to the future of the child. but to the mother herself. A number of life difficulties of the child-bearfnxf time can be avoided by intelligent following of | a certain routine. When this la done, the period of waking need not be one of discomfort but. rather, a time of good health. And good health promote* the good spirits and serene mental attitude which may have a direct bearing on the mother's later attitude toward her child Simple Direction* Certain of these matters, though Important, are very simple. For example, the mother-to-be should wear low-heeled shoes and no tight garters. Hur clothes should be light and loose fitting. Tub baths should not be taken during the last month, and enemas or Injections of fluid into the lower bowel should not he employed unless the doctor specifically orders them. In regard to exercise, according to Dr Arthur L. Rivers, of the Medical College of South Carolina, activity should depend on what is usual for the individual However, no patient should take part In athletics. Traveling in general should he restricted. The pregnant woman should gain ealp ebeut 2« peuuds diuiaa tfca| nme-montb period not because

Senator Tom Connally predicts that Mr. Truman will be elected and Secretary of Com merce Harriman, in speaking on the subject, said. "Truman's confidence In the American people has been reciprocated by their growing coulidence in him."

In the South American ; sector of the Antarctic continent i the Byrd expedition found two i cases with ice-free lakes This does not mean that the Solar Polar j regions are yet warm enough to be habitable. There's no hope for aid against bousing shortage there tor quite a while o- —o Holidays A reader asks why no legal holidays have been created for the four month* without them —March. April. June and August. He suggests that this would be A more popular piece of lawmaking than a lot of laws which legislatures enact. .Meditating on this matter, the conclusion comes that June, sandwiched in between Memorial and Independence Days, hardly needs a holiday For March and I April, we nominate St. Patrick’s Day. March 17. already holding its parades, and Thomas Jeffersons , birthday. April 13. as coming nice ’ ly in tbe middle of those months. August presents a harder problem. It'* all full ut suitable days to celebrate. Columbus first caught eight of the American mainland ou August 1. 1948. The Army Air Corps has a birthday on the second Columbus set sail on Aug 3. 1493--an important date indeed Freedom of the Press was established by tb<- courts on Aug 4. 1795. Tbe Coast Guard was established Aug. 4. 1790. Aug. 10. 1790. a ship came into Boston Harbor which had been around the world. Women got the vote on Aug 26. 1920. And there are a dozen others. On the whole, the vote would be likely to go to I "Steamboat Day.” celebrating Aug. | 17.

CHAPTER ELEVEN IN THE hallway, helping Vai Into her fox jacket, Wade's hands lingered caressingly on her shoulders. She smiled up at him obliquely, her pulses racing. Wade said, his voice intimately low, "Suddenly, I wish we weren't going out to dinner. It'll mean another crowd, more noise—and I want you to myself, darling. I want that very much.” Vai said prosaically, "But I'm hungry.” Wade laughed, shrugging Into his overcoat, picking up his hat. "Never fear, sweet I'll feed you. But afterwards—” The Pump Room was crowded, but a waiter in livery led them immediately to the table Wade had reserved. It was a good table— Wade knew his way around. Vai settled back comfortably against the padded leather bench, letting her wrap slip from her shoulders and looking about with casual interest while Wade ordered for them both. The atmosphere here always appealed to her—the little Negroes in their fantastic turbans and gorgeous raiment, weighed down with dignity, the food borne , to the tables on flaming sword points, all against the restful background of slate-blue walls and sparkling crystal chandeliers. As always, her eyes sought the replica of the old pump near the entrance, the amusing anachronism that gave th* smart cupper dub its WM. Wade said, as the waiter left.

“There—that's done. And you shall 11 eat, darling—although 1 always : thought that people in k>ve lost ' their appetites.” 1 “Am I supposed to be in k»ve?" < Vai asked, her smile teasing. “1 hope so." The orchestra started playing and people rose from tables all about them and converged on the dance floor. Wade asked, "Shall we?" Am) then, as Vai got up. he murmured close to her ear, "It's the only civilized way I can put my arms around you In these surroundings.” Dancing, they were beautiful to watch, moving so effortlessly, with such rhythmic and instinctive grace, to the persuasive swing of the music. They danced as though they were so enthralled with one another that they were unaware of the other dancers all about; as though their nearness created a small, inviolate work! into which they had escaped. And even when the music stopped and they went back to their table, their absorption in each other held. Eating, talking, lingering over their cigarettes and coffee, it seemed to Vai that only they two in all the big crowded room were real, as though the rest were shadowy beings, without substance, moving unobtrusively beyond the edges of a dream. She had experienced this sensation before when she was with Wade Carrington. But never had the feeling been so strong, her surrender to it so willing. And it seemed to Vai, remembering how earlier that evening she had fled from herself and from the searing memory ot Rick, that the effect of Wade's personality upon hers was a good thing. If he could stimulate her feelings to quick response, if he could give her forgetfulness—well, what more was there than that? What more in the way of association could she want or need? They danced once more. Then, walking back toward their table, Wade asked, hia low voice coaxing, "Can't we go now, darling? I want to talk to you—really talk. There are things I want to say, something 1 want to ask—and I’ll be darned if I’ll ask it here." Vai smiled, offering no objection as he slipped her wrap about her shoulders. While he paid the check, adding his usual generous tip, she gathered up her purse and gloves with a heady little feeling of anticipation. She thought she knew what Wade wanted to tell her, possibly what he meant to ask. And somehow tonight she felt mc:t certain what her answer would be than she had ever felt before. If Wade's question concerned marriage, her answer would be yes. After all, why not? Vai was too much of a realist to be insensible to the obvious advantages of marriage to Wade Carrington. His fortune was large and assured, even in these times of pyramiding taxes. The family background was good, although Wade himself had little to do with the rest of the Carringtons, whom he considered definitely stuffy. He was handsome, well-mannered, amusing and undeniably attractive. Vai was aware, as they left the restaurant, of several feminine heads turning to **tch Wade with approval it was

always like that. As for the dia- | advantages of marriage with Wade, Vai went on with her thoughts, there was the first, the i obvious one--the fact of his having been so many times married. A year ago, Vai knew, she would * have dismissed the idea of marrying a man who had already had three wives as completely ridiculous. But one changes in a year. Susan Pyle, all that gay crowd Vai had met through Susan, took Wade's marital adventures entirely for granted. So many people they knew were twice divorced—why not three times? It simply wasn't important. That was the attitude of Susan’s crowd—and gradually it had become Vai’s attitude, too. One's viewpoint to invariably changed by the attitude of the people with whom one associates a great deal. Vai sometimes thought, with wry amusement, of how naive she used to be before she started going around with Susan and her friends—how absurdly unsophisticated. Well, she had got over it now. Wade's interest was proof enough of that The Valerie Kent of a year ago, the wide-eyed girl Rick Colby had loved and wanted to marry, simply would not have attracted a man like Wade at all. The passing thought of Rick was like an agonizing prick of pain through hazy layers of anaesthesia. Vai's mind hurried on, leaving Rick purposefully behind. He was a part of the past and, as Wade's wife, she wouldn't have time to dwell on the past, which was exactly what she wanted. Wade would fill her days with gayety, her nights with passion. Their life together would be made up of all the glittering things that money could buy, the amusing people who are drawn by wealth, the fascinating places which are invariably expensive. And yet, Vai thought in all fairness to herself, she wouldn’t be marrying Wade merely for his money. He was attractive to her, whether what she felt for him was, in the purest sense, love or not. Marriage to Wade would be, Vai thought with hardness, a flippancy of which she wouldn't have been capable a year ago, fun while ft lasted. And if it didn't last—as it very weU might not—well, no hearts would be broken and no one hurt too deeply . . . They had been standing in the lobby, arm in arm and curiously i quiet, as Vai’s thoughts raced on. Now the doorman indicated, that 1 he had a cab for them and they went out through the chill wind off the lake and got into the car that waited, warm and a bit stuffy, at the curb. Wade's tone, giving the address of his apartment to the driver, was a bit tentative, Vai realize.!, as though he wasn't quite sure how she would take their destination. But she offered no objection. She had been to Wade's apartment with others on innumerable occa-sions-infrequently akme with him. A year ago, Vai wouldn’t have g<me with a man to his apartment at almost midnight Now she thought nothing of ft For that matter, Wade's wasn't the only apartment she had visited under such circumstances. And nothing had arisen yet *hfch she eeulda’t handle quite competently. ilo Bo Continued! —

where marriage was concerned? Vai tried to recall what Busan had told her of his ex-wives. One, the first, had been a debutante, one of his own social circle in the northshore suburb where the Carrington family home was. That had been when Wade was in hW twenties. It had lasted only a couple of years. Then there had been Irina Bordova, the dancer. Vai had seen her last year when th* Ballet Russ* de Monte Carlo was in town and she was lovely, sheer poetry tn motion. But Susan, who had known Wade for years, said she had a horrible temper and that no man on earth could get along with her—she had had four husbands all told, before and after Wade. Then, only five years or so ago, Wade had married a young movie actress. Leigh Van. Dine. Wade himself had told Vai about that. "My gosh, it was awful," he had said. "She used to get up at six o'clock in the morning. And if she stayed up later than nine at night it showed tn her face the next day. We were married six months and she was dieting all that time —and dieting is very hard on the disposition. She was—stilt is, for that matter, a very beautiful dish, but she haa the mind of a highgrade moron. And I hated Hollywood, and her friends bored me to death and she wouldn’t consider giving up the movies. It was purgatory in technicolor, I assure you . . „■ Maybe, Vai thought, he Isn't considering marrying me at allafter his experiences, why should he want to marry again ? Maybe—she groped wryly—l'm counting my chickens before they're hatched, Weil, she would know quite soon at any rata Wade was paying off the taxi, was holding the door tor Vai, taking her across the deepcarpeted lobby to the elevators She was aware of her heart, beating rather fast, as th* car slid silently upward. Wade's unobtrusive Filipino servant let them in. A slight brown shadow in hia spotless white coat, seeming almost faceless in his anonymity, he took their wraps and faded away like a ripple on water. Wade's apartment was tastefully masculine, with decorator touches that wer* obviously expensive. The rugs were deep; so were the chairs and couches. There was a fire in the fireplace and the heavy mossgreen drapes were drawn across the windows. Vai walked across to hold her cold finger tips toward th* fire. Her mirrored face looked back at her from the glass wall above th* mantel. She saw Wade's face there, too, turned toward her, the dark eyes ardentShe looked away from th* mirror and into Wade's face. Then his arms went around her and she felt their muscular hardness with a kind of exultation. Her eyelids closed aa h* kissed her. In the darkness of her mind, her thoughts whirled in a confused pattern. She was aware of her physical response to him. of the totosd thsobbing in her temples, of bar arms going up and around Wade's neck, feehaz
