Disagrees: On Advice Jane Gives

‘Great Lover’s’ Letter Is Welcomed Despite ‘Criticism.

" Yon are invited to disagree with the -opinions you read in this column whenever you feel like doing so.

PEAR JANE JORDAN— Each evening when | pick up The Times, 1 unconsciously turn to your column. Why? Well, 1 don’t know. You give me a pain in the neck with your advice. Surely your advice to others does not come from experience, else you would

have a “Mrs.” tacked on the front i

of your name instead of a “Miss.” How can one be so young and yet so cynical? Then one of your admirers presents you with a problem and I say to myself, “This time she is stumped.” Surely wou are not infallible, and we are all capavle of making mistakes, so please appease this wrath within my soul and once in a while admit you have found a problem that is too much for even you to unravel. If I have punctured your

ego I am sorry; but it seems as | though I say or write the wrong | things. Intentionally I wouldn't hurt anyone, although I am, THE *GREAT LOVER. " : » - ANSWER—Are you the same «Great Lover’ who stirred up so much interest in the column recently by betting you could get a date with a girl who had refused you? If so I am glad to hear from . you again. I have no doubt that my answers are often a pain in the neck to the people who write letters, particularly when they are in disagreement with the person's own ideas. I am not a god, but just a guesser. How good a guesser I am I do not know, for few people take the trouble to do what you have done; namely, write a second letter. I should be interested to hear from people who have written to the column in the past, telling me | whether my guesses have been right | or wrong.. : | After all you ‘only have told me what I already know—that no one is infallible, particularly one guess- | ing in the dark with access to no | information except what some unknown person has put in one letter. How would you answer the letters which caused the pain in your neck? I really did not know 1 was cynical, though anyone who ° looks at life as it is, is apt to be irritating to those who want it to be something else. JANE JORDAN. P. S.—I am married and have two half-grown sons.

Summer Wardrobe, Goes on

ighland Program

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

When wives of Highland Golf and Country Club members met for luncheon today on the terrace surrounding the club swimming pool they were given a chance to see the “importants” of a chic summer wardrobe. Country club ensembles with gay color highlights, active and spec-

tator sports wear, and glamourous summer skies were the features of Club members and mannequins from the William H. Block Co. sponsors of the parade, presented the showing. For sun fun Mrs. Benjamin Perk modeled a two-piece white shark-

| skin play suit with a separate skirt

which buttons from the waist to the hemline. Mrs. William Nixon in natural porosa shirt and slacks, accented with pine green acces-

sories portrayed the picture of what ||

America should wear for play. Miss Joan Fox's white wool lastex swim suit with colorful red button trim, was one of those sculpture-your-figure sea fashions which will be seen on the beaches this season. Sharkskin bathing suits are flat-

| terers that are slick fashion news,

It is made of brown pigskin, nine inches wide by 10 inches long, with an isinglass cover on {front and back so that maps in the pockets show varough. The case is made in accordion construction that permits expansion for extra maps which are carried in indexed pockets. Included are two colored routing pencils.

Use Cosmetics Frugally, Advice

Don't waste beauty preparations. Whether your budget is limited or not it is a splendid idea to learn to use cosmetics frugally. For instance, ' skin tonics and astringents last twice as long if you always dip cotton pads in ice water, wring them as dry as possible, then saturate with tonic. A thin layer of night cream, applied correctly and really patted in, does more good than a thick layer smeared on haphazardly and removed almost immediately. 1 Unless your bottle of bath oil has a special shaker top measure it with an old teaspoon, kept in the bathroom for that purpose. Half a spoonful of the concentrated varieties is sufficient to soften and scent the water. * | Offer Snakeskin Gloves Snakeskin gloves for the outdoors: manufacturer.

with blue and white polka dots and a fitted beach coat to match. Easy-to-tub fashions that make for a “love” of a tennis game were seen when Miss Margaret Raney promenaded in a knee-length pleated natural linen skirt, with shorts beneath, and topped with a perky calico shirt of water-rose print.

As a recommendation for lunch(ing or dining informally at a coun- { try club, Mrs. Howard Williams showed a Persian print dress of blue i and white silk jersey. With it she wore a matching crownless turban of the type which is claiming success this sultry weather. Among the afternoon costumes presenting a cool appearance was a Charles Armour original worn by Mrs. Paul Hinkle. It is a striking combination of navy blue sheer with a lime green sash for contrast.

‘Molyneux’ newest black taffeta afternoon dress also was shown. Miss Marge Brullow paraded its pleated fullness and displayed the skirt which is iined with Molyneux gold. With this exotic summer costume, she wore a gold turban fashioned of velvet. The fashion parade closed with a June wedding party. ) Other club members who modeled were Mrs,: Paul - Browning, Mrs. Irvin Wesley and ‘Misses Margaret Ramey, Patty Stark, Mary Lou Westfall and Helen Marie Madden. The party was given under the direction of Mrs. Raymond C. Fox. Bridge was played during the afternoon.

Art of Fighting Troubles “Alone Should. Be Taught Early.

It is said that most people never grow up. As this seems to be meaningless to many, perhaps a short discussion will show us where we fail.

want to’ correct it. - We would be satisfied with the sympathy in many cases, as a child is happy with a kiss | and pat that does not cure the! bump. Those who possess this sympathy- | hunger to an abnormal degree are “emotionally immature.” They can- | not bear trouble alone. Or, if they do, they are consumed by self-pity, which makes everything that much hearder to bear.

It is natural for misery to want company, if just in thought. But ' when it seeks relief to an exag- | gerated extent and hopes to infect another with its own complex, it is not mature. The childs looks for sympathy. The adult (mentally that is) should not, and will not, if he is emotionally stable.

This is why a goodly part of the

Craving Should Not Be Set The real meaning of the word

| Constructive help is one thing; to laid in deepening his self-pity is another. To try to remove causes is constructive, To condone his sorrow for himself, and set the eternal craving for a partner in trouble, is destructive. The American System of - child rearing has had one great defect the last few decades. The very matter of over-emotionalism above discussed. Actually it is cruel to allow our children to grow to manhood and womanhood without sufficient calcium in their moral legs and backbones to “take it” when adversity comes. Adversity in any of a hundred forms. All life is about twothirds adversity and more than that if we are inventive or overly-. apprehensive or overly-sensitive. No one suggests the Spartan training.” That carries its own danger, too. But the one who can take upsets in his stride, and not brood, has a better chance of success and health, too. ’ (Copyright,

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary ECENTLY I discussed one of the less familiar forms of the holdup play, the type which experts recognize but which less experienced players are apt to misplay. Today's hand presents a still more unusual type of holdup in which the declarer, despite a very attractive opportunity to win two tricks in a suit, should content himself with one, so that he may play the contract with per{fect safety. When the opening lead was made South could count three sure heart tricks, one sure spade, and one diamend. Five or even six club tricks

Trend to Shorter Evening Gowns Seen

The trend now is definitely toward shorter evening gowns. Designers continue to feature anklelength dance dresses for more or less informal parties. ; Many truly formal, floor-length gowns are slit or intricately draped to look shorter in front than at the back. Judging solely by the past, drapes and slits always indicate that, within a season or two, hemlines themselves will be shortened.

gardless of the location of the club king, if the spade suit could be shut out. However, a number of declarers, holding the ace, jack and nine of spades, decided that it was safe to win the first spade trick, and trust that East held the 10. As a result, when the club finesse was lost, the hand went down, The proper play was to refuse to win both: the first and second rounds of spades, and then finesse the clubs. If East held a fourth spade and the club king, nine tricks would be won after two spades were given up. As it turned out, the safe play netted an extra trick for good measure, South losing only two spades and one club. (Copyright, 1937. NEA

Attractive Wall Paper Old-fashioned wall papers, in. allover floral designs, are smart for summer rooms. Motifs are larger than formerly, and background colors are softly muted. You'll like little red cherries on a pale gray ground for your kitchen or rather large clusters of strawberries on pale blue. For country Kitchens, there's a white wallpaper with bunches of fresh vegetables spaced far apart.

Bathing mn Surf Calls for Special ‘Hair Attention

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer So| long as you shampoo care- | fully| once a week and brush your | hair levery night, you do not have to | bother to rinse out the salt water after each dip in the surf. Scalps which are brushed and massaged daily and kept meticulously clean are not going to be harmed seriously by a little sea water.

save drying time, get a bathing cap which really fits and under the edges of which the water doesn't pour in. If you cannot find one wrap a narrow band of chamois around your head before putting on a rubber cap. You should, of course, Land dry your hair as soon as you have finished swimming. Do not set it, then let nature do an unaided drying job. .

Keep Hat On

Wear a hat on the beach, when playing golf, riding in a rumble seal and so on.. Too much bright sunshine is likely to fade your hair and make it exceedingly dry. After an unavoidable, too dangerous dose of sunshine, massage warm olive oil into hair and scalp, leave it on all night and shampoo the next day. Watch out for the drying effects of summer winds, too. Use softening cream every night, and do wear a powder base under your makeup. If you tend to freckle or burn, use a special suntan foundation in a color to match your complexion. As all people who have freckles during the summer months will tell you, there really isn’t much one can do to prevent these small brown spots—except, of course, stay out of the sun as much as possible. And, when in the sun, to wear a hat. foundation lotion or cream, and plenty of makeup.

Gland Action May Cause Poor He alth

Condition May Result in Development of Low Blood. Pressure.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor American Medical Association Journal. There are sore conditions that affect the glands of internal secree tion which result in low blood pres= sure. The glands are an interlocking chain so that not only a deficiency

of the thyroid secretion but of some - of the other glands which depend on the thyroic or may be in association with the thyroid, may ® bring about a low blood pressure. A weakness of the heart, a deficiency in the materials or in the amount of the blood also may be found in cases of low blood presse sure. ; Thus any patient with this condition demands a careful and come plete examinztion in order to deter= mine whether there are any factors Wien may be brought under conrol. : Symptoms Indefinite

The symptoms associat>d with this condition are rather indefinite, including | headaches, short= ness of breath on exertion, palpitations of the heart, dizziness, inabil~ ity to concentrate, vague digestive disturbances, and sometimes the feelings of palpitations of the heart, Just how long low blood prese stire| lasts in any person is dependent on a number of factors. Some times the pressure will rise and reHiain Higher following plenty of rest and [recreation and an improvement in the diet. Sometimes an extra cup of coffee or tea will stimulate the blood pressure to a point at which the person feels better. : Sometimes a record of the basal metabolism ' will show ‘that this 1s ~ low and that the action of the thyroid gland is deficient. In such cases the taking of small doses of thyroid will bring about a rise. Thyroid, however, should never be taken except with the advice of a physie cian who has made a study of the patient. Build Is Factor

There are some people who incline by the very structure of their bodies to have low blood pressure. Slender, | narrow-chested, low= waisted people whose hearts are on a lower level and who blood is, therefore, pumped around sharper bends than occur in the blood ves« sels of people of different types, are reported as a class to have low blood pressures. ? People with. low blood pressure may live longer than many others, but may not always be up to par. Thus they may not have the vim, vigor and vitality associated with a normal blood pressure. They may, however, have several advantages over people with high blood pressure. Their doctor will not tell them what and when to drink, nor what to eat and how much.
