CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX TTTOPE had burned high when Dana and Scott hung their challenge at destiny by standing before a minister and promising, in singing tones, “for better, for worse.” Dana told herself that things must surely grow better soon. For' of course they couldn't be worse. The problem of living without a bank account seemed absolutely unsolvaIt was bad enough, Scott said, to allow Dana to make petty adjustments during the first few months of their marriage. But the time came when even petty adjustments weren’t enough. More rigid economies faced them. Opportunity appeared to be knocking at Scott’s door when Dr. Morton decided to leave the city. Dr. Morton’s suite was in a building that housed 10 of the city’s outstanding physicians. Each had his own suite, and shared, proportionately, the upkeep of the building. The rental of Dr. Morton’s suite was considerably more than the cost of the extremely simple quarters Scott was occupying. But Scott knew the value of having his office io the more impressive building. Then, too, he would have the use of X-ray equipment, an indispensable adjunct. Scott moved. His new' office adjoined that of Dr. Osborne, dean of the city’s surgeons. But, though the reception room always had its quota of patients waiting to see Dr. Stanley, they were not the type to swell a deflated cash box. Most of them had known Scott’s father. Most of them owed his father money. And most of them would ow'e Scott money from now on. But what c nld lie do? If a mother brought in her small son, and an infected appendix was revealed, there was noth'ng to dn tint take it out. Or maybe the patient was a pale little girl with a bad cough. There must be a careful examination to discover the trouble. It might be lungs, bronchial trouble, or a sinus condition. Again it would be an adult, a harassed man or w m■m who had waited years—sometimes too long—because there was no money for a doctor. There was no money now. But the news spread that young Dr. Stanley was practicing. And it was remembered how good his father had been, how generous and patient. Every doctor, Scott knew, had a percentage of patients who couldn't pay. That was one of the hazards of the profession. But the equation was usually balanced by a number who were able to pay, and did pay, for skillful medlical treatment. a a a SCOTT moved into the new quarters with a sinking | feeling in his heart. It was probably the wisest step of his career but, at

the moment, it was a costly experiment that meant revising a budget which had already undergone more revision than a normal budget would stand. He groaned at the thought of asking Dana to cut expenses further when she had faced so many problems of adjustments with such a gallant spirit. It wasn t fair to ask her to eliminate the modest entertainment fund altogether. That would mean staying cooped up at home. Or rather, staying in that “damned little apartment.” The place was beginning to get on Scott’s nerves

He longed to be back in a house like his own, where he could really stretch out. He had a suspicion that the close, heated atmosphere was bad for Dana. She was looking pale lately. The thought was another to worry him sorely. And there was that business of confessing to her that the more expensive office would put another crimp in their mode of living. Scott was discouraged, moreover, because so far the move had not brought him a single patient he had not had before. Dr. Osborne had been the first of Eve doctors to come in and glance about Scott’s immaculate quarters. Dr. Osborne had given him a hearty welcome and then had apparently forgotten all about him. He needn’t have worried about breaking the news to Dana. Her intuition was positively uncanny these days. a a tt QHE said one night: “I’m simply O sick of partying, Scott. Don’t you think we might stay home ■ome for a change? We’ve paid all of our obligations. I think we should rest on our laurels for awhile.” It was Dana who desided to send back the new brown coat with the warm and flattering fur cellar. "Those sleeves are too exaggerated, ’ she said. “They will be completely out of style next season. And who wants a coat that isn’t good lor two years?” "But I thought you liked that coat,” Scott said. “I’ve changed my mind. I don’t like it at all.” “Be sure you get another one,” Scott said firmly. Anew coat was iomething Dana needed and must have. “I intend to when I see something I like,” Dana replied lightly. Somehow, the time flew by and Dana couldn't seem to find the right coat. “Honestly, Scott, the more I see of the new coats, the more satisfied I am with my old one,” she told him. "The styles are dreadful on me. Os course I bought mine in Paris and it was a lovely material.” But if Dana managed to pull the wool over her husband’s eyes, her grandmother was not so easily fooled. “Prettiest girl in the city, and she can’t even afford anew winter
coat,” Mrs. Cameron said scornfully. “Well, she's get to have one. I'll have a talk with the young lady. If she starts out this way, ; that’s how she'll continue. You’ve “ot to expect things of men. It's the only way to make them suc- ; cessful.” Dana emerged from the long talk with her grandmother, white and shaken, but still firm in her resolution. “The first .year,” she said, repeating the old phrase slowly, “io the hardest. Grandmother. Scott has all kinds of obligations. Next year we’ll be able to have more and, play more.” Fiddlesticks! If he has so many obligations, he shouldn’t have married. lie had no business dumping you in a kitchen and expecting you to wear old clothes. Tie didn’t dump me in a kitchen.” Dana’s face was flushed now’. “He insisted on having a cook, but I wouldn’t have one. And he bothers as much as you about my clothes. “You're a mighty big goose if you don’t get some new ones,” Mrs. Cameron said. “If there’s any class of women in the world who have competition, it’s doctors’ wives. If Paula Long were married to Scott, you wouldn’t see her parading so many conscientious scruples.” t ana has her own money, A Dana said. Then, because her grandmother had made her very angry, she retorted, 'T can’t imagine Paula married to Scott under any circumstances.” “You can’t? Well, he ran around with her a mighty long while.” “That’s why,’ Dana flashed back. "He went with her a mighty long while. If he had been in the least in love with her, he’d have married her." “But the grass in the other pasure always locks greenest,” Mrs. Cameron said shortly. “I’m not easily frightened,” Dana said, adding “and I trust Scott fully. There isn't any room in my heart for suspicion.” Mrs. Cameron said, in an injured ’one, “I wasn’t trying to make you suspicious, Dana. I was trying to persuade you to buy something new. I say again the man isn’t made who doesn’t admire a well-dressed woman. And no man is proud of a dowdy woman, even though she's the best wife in the world.” When the door had closed Dana wiped tears from her eyes. Why were people always prating about dowdirflss and shabbiness? She wouldn't believe she looked that way as long as her clothes were neat and well-pressed and she kept herself immaculately groomed. Scott and Mrs. Cameron almost bumped into each other on the stair. Mrs. Cameron had come charging along with her head bent, in one of her towering rages. She spoke curtly. At the stair landing, she stopped and flung upward at him, her eyes cold and unforgiving: “Dana seems to think being married is some excuse for being a martyr. I wish you'd talk some sense into her.” Scott fitted his key into the lock soberly. So the old lady thought he was taking all the shine and sparkle out of life for Dana. Well, maybe she was right, at that.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem by w. e.

Just imagine a little card game so fascinating and absorbing that one can forget all his worries and troubles and argue over a deck of 52 cards! The more thought you give to bridge, the more fun you get out of it. While I don't believe a player is justified in scolding or nagging at his partner because he misses a play, nevertheless I do believe that a man who misses a nice play should be glad to get some constructive criticism, to improve his game. Suppose you were playing today's hand and had missed making four spades, and your partner said to you. “Well, if you had been a little more careful, you could have made your contract”? That would be constructive criticism, because the contract can be made. The Play When West opened the ten of diamonds, was a very good

other diamond, and the dummy hand will be killed. Tire proper way to play the hand is to go fight up with the ace of diamonds and lead the jack of hearts, winning with the ace. Now the ace of spades should be played, followed by the queen of spades. This trick West will win with the king. When West returns a diamond, of course, East will win with the king and lead back the diamond. But the play will then be in dummy and declarer can cash the king and queen of hearts, and discard the three and four of clubs. Playing the hand in this fashion. South loses only a spade, a diamond, and a club, making four odd. iCoi vfcght. 1935. NEA Service. Inc.). Quality HOSIERY • PERFECT FIT 59c 2 for $1.15 NISLEY N I,ENX ST
Boys of Sissy Type Suffer From Deeply Imbedded Fear
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Does your boy like to play with girls? Are you worried? Are you afraid he’s going to be a sissy and never grow up to be the big manly fellow you have dreamed about? And when he isn’t playing with girls, is he off by himself reading a book? If he is this way, I think I can tell you something else about him. He is crazy about movies, rough, tough shows with all men casts, the kind where the hero walks alone into a dark mine to catch an armed bandit, or in which he fights it out alone with a dangerous gang, and like the little tailor of the fairy tale, “kills seven at one blow.” This makes your problem more puzzling than ever. Here is a boy who admires courage and every, to his mind, masculine quality, yet he won’t play with other boys, and his own private, idea of fun never so much as includes a baseball bat or a football. Secret Fear Harbored Moreover, the more you coax, the worse he gets. What in the world can be the matter? Is he a coward? , “Well, yes, but not at all in the ! sense you are thinking. Every person or earth is a coward in some way. There isn’t a soul living who doesn’t have his Achilles heel. Our particular vulnerable spot, the cause of our. cowardice, is nearly always some particular sensitiveness that we wouldn’t tell for worlds. We won't even admit it to ourselves. Somehere, sometime, this boy of yours har. learned to fear other boys in his heart. When he was very little, perhaps a big boy teased him, or perhaps he even abused him. It may not have been one, but several. Or else they hurt him by saying. "Oh, you’re no good. Dummy. You You can't do anything. Jimmy can’t run! Jimmy couldn’t catch a ball as big as a house! Jimmy, the nitwit.” Once or twice might not matter. All little boys go through this hazing more or less, but the chances are that some real special thing cut deep enough to leave a scar, or it was repeated so often he eventually got to believe it himself. Movies Aid His Ego At any rate, something happened early to make him anti-social toward boys. He is more himself with

girls. They look up to him and he gains back part of his self-respect. The movie angle is wish-fulfill-ment. He loses his inhibition and projects himself into the part of hero. He is the great hero. The latent courage in him has outlet. Don’t nag at him to make him more unhappy. It does no good. Try to find a younger boy or two, or gentle ones for him to be friends with. Let the boys and girls play together in a crowd. Gradually his confidence may come back. “Escapes” must be regarded with intelligence and sympathy, and removed by tact rather than force.

Veils Popular Sheer crisp veils adorn many new reversible hats. They may be worn falling over the eyes or cascading down the back of the neck. Stiff veils of wide mesh are arranged on other hats so that they stand forward around the face like the brim of an old-fashioned sunbonnet and are tied under the chin with a little velvet bow.
BY GERTRUDE BAILEY Cn OLDEN sands the smart world J plays on furnish a fascinating, sunny back ground for the new, exotic beachwear that is being shown to lure winter vacationists Florida-ward. One Fifth-av house has introduced a harem beach dress in white woo’l textured crepe and jasmine buds to wear in the hair, and a matching bracelet and anklet. Will the lei be next? Beach dresses threaten the leading role pajamas played in previous seasons because they are designed for informal sports wear and they all have their accompanying play or swim suits that range in materials from printed linen to blue denim. The redingote beach coat is another new departure from the usual that is being introduced for the coming Southern season. Made along evening wrap lines, a long redingote of white linen is faced with blue and white printed linen to match a halter play suit beneath. a a a LIGHT-HEARTED prints are ’ for sportswear. There is the alphabet prints, with the ABC's sprawled a 1 ! over its surface, the Monte Carlo print with a variety of gaming devices, the newspaper print, slated for headlines in chic, and the astrological print, with which to win sartorial stars. White with very bright accents will give prints a race for popularity. White cloque crepe with
Roman striped silk for accent, for one, made its bow recently. Although not quite so extreme in other seasons, swim suits maintain their brevity in one-piece styles rather than halter and short divides. The smartest ones have careful y moulded brassiere tops. Their colors highlight the berry shades, plumberry and strawberry particularly, in two or three color combinations. Anew, practical feature of some of the swim suits is a lastex band which makes it possible to drop the straps for an even suntan. Beauty Is Not an Essential for Elusive Glamour BY ALICIA HART To be glamorous you don’t necessarily have to be a raving beauty. In fact, if we use some of the screen stars as examples we discover that natural beauty doesn’t have much to do w'ith the elusive quality which all women want. Many an actress has achieved glamor and fascination for ner public by emphasizing what might be called a bad feature or simply by playing up one good point. First of all, keep in mind that you have to stand out vividly as an individual. You must be you—no copy-cat tricks. Just because your best friend with the too-high forehead has emphasized it and made herself look fascinating, don't go ahead and point up your own high forehead unless you are perfectly sure the effect will enhance your allure. The best idea, of course, is to < study your features—the bad ones | as well as the good. Then learn how to make the most of the nicest ! one. If vou have unusually large eyes, but a rather bad chin line, use a touch of mascara on your lashes and keep rouge well up on your cheek bones. If on the other hand, you have a good moutly but just average eyes, omit the mascara, use plenty 5 of lipstick and place rouge just below cheek bones

Dear Jane Jordan—Tire problem I am bringing to you is as old as the world and I have read all the answers Still when it comes into my home I am afraid of my judgment.

little more understanding for me. I felt I had renc!rt my limit one night when he would not leave his mother alone for an hour’s Christmas shopping with me. I said I thought his mother should suggest we go out occasionally together and if she would not. then certainlv he should. He replied that as long as his mother lived he would not leave her because of her fear. It seems to me that three people grown up and of at least average intelligence could discuss the situation and arrive at a happy solution, but he will not discuss it. I have a high regard for the feelings of others and a very deep love for my parents, but I have considered my husband first in many ways as I believed it to be right. What of the years after sh° !s gone? When a wife’s feeling of importance to her husband °is destroyed there is little 1 :t for her. I will appreciate your oninion. PUZZLED. Answer About all you can do is to thank your lucky stars that your husband's mother only is with j'ou for four or five months instead of all the time. You are up against a tie too strong for you and I doubt if you will be able to break it after all of these years. Every time you mention the situation to him you i simply raise his resistance and make the situation worse. If he is a good husband otherwise and you love him, the best you can do is to accept the situation and make the best of it. I doubt if there is any approach to your mother-in-law which would succeed. Her timidity is a very useful quality, indeed, for it enables her to dominate her son without appearing to do so. I do not believe she would part with her fears without a terrific struggle as long as they are successful in getting the result which she wants. Please do not think that she plans her behavior on purpose to make you uncomfortable. She simply takes your husband’s devotion for granted as her natural right as his mother and would be pained beyond measure if you pointed out the truth to her. After all why can't you get used to going places without your husband? Os course, it is more pleasure lor you to have him with you, but you have a right to use your own time in the way that you choose. Perhaps if you learned to leave him silting at home with his mother he would not find the situation very pleasant, and eventually would go with you rather than be left. It would be folly to go out in order to punish him. But if you proceed quite casually to do the normal and natural things which you honestly want to do without depending on your husband for an escort, he might see more light on the subject. In every marriage the partners have to adjust to something which is not altogether pleasing. Your problem is a mother-in-law who rules by weakness. Believe me, you might have a much tougher problem. Brie/htens Corners For a neglected corner in a sunrocm, try a set of glass shelves and on the shelves put bowls of trailing ivy. Or put your aquarium there. If you own lovely pieces of colored glass set them on glass shelves in dining room windows arnmged so that they will catch the sun and see how much joy they will add to daytime meals.
