Jane Jordan will study your problems for you and answer your letters in this column each day.

DEAR JANE JORDAN— I often wonder if people write to you with the intention of taking your advice, or to ease an over-burdened, aching heart. It is very different to write your secrets to a stranger than to tell them to a friend who in turn will tell them to their best friend and so on. I am a married woman in my middle thirties. 1 married very young without any real knowledge of love. | I never have cared for men in gen- | eral and would grow tired of them no matter how entertaining they were. I am ognsidered nice-looking and have had my share of compliments. Four years ago I met the one man in this life who was meant for me. He might not look so good to you, but to me he is the best of God's earthly creatures. May I add he is married also. When we first met he wanted both of us to obtain divorces so we could marry. I refused to do so at that time; so the subject was dropped and has not been taken up since. Now that I am sure I do love him I would like to marry him but he never refers to the matter and I hate to bring it up. We have no children and come from excellent families. Please help me if you can. TROUBLED ONE.

ANSWER—Would you divorce your husband and go alone even if you knew the other man would not do likewise and marry you? Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe that when a woman really finds her husband intolerable she will make the break whether there is another pair of arms waiting to receive her or not. Even though she has never earned a living and fears the outside world intensely, she still will make the effort to break her bonds. When she has done so she is ready to éonsider a new matrimonial deal. Is it fear alone which keeps you from making the break, or a feeling that the husband you have is better than no husband at all? Tf the latter is true then you still have some feeling for your husband. He may not be love's young dream, but still he stands for something in your life which you won't give up unless you can replace it. Perhaps you've read in this column before a theory that the secret

Come as Your Opposite’ Party As Psychologically Revealing

By ELSA M. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.) FTER I had given innumerable parties in Europe, and my life there had threatened to wean me from my native land, I was strongly seized with the desire to return to my own country and people. with my American friends, and was never an expatriate, Americans were always in my mind and heart.

ships were made, enough, during my abroad. So, in October, 1929, I came back, after several years’ absence, to give my first party since attaining some fame as a hostess in Europe. This party I decided to give in the old Orystal Room of the Ritz Carlton Hotel. I stayed in the Ritz Carlton during the war, and there was a certain Capt. Willy, a most enterprising and smart little gentleman if there was ever one, who was in charge of the banqueting department there. So Capt. Willy, who is now in charge of the same department in the Waldorf Astoria, was the lure which impelled me to give my first party in New York City after vears.

5 n ” HIS I decided to call a “Come as Your Opposite” party. I thought that psychologically it would be most amusing to see

what people in New York society imagined to be their opposites. People can little grasp how important a part psychology plays in the giving of a party. The revealing traits in the most ordinary people would be quite startling to great psychologists such as Drs. Jung and Freud. I have always thought that every guest at a party of mine should have himself psychoanalyzed. They really half do so by the costume or part they play when they come. For instance, take two short people, such as the charming sportswoman, Mrs. Henry A. Alexander—one of the finest bridge players, shots and golfers on Long Island—and Howard Maxwell of Glen Cove. They came on stilts! How they managed to walk on these implements of torture, which gave them a height of between 7 and 8 feet, I cannot imagine. But they did wonderfully well and were highly entertaining. Cole Porter, my greatest friend, a most amusing and fascinating creature, America’s best composer and lyricist, came as a football player. This also is re= vealing. Cole Porter is certainly the last man to resemble a professional athlete.

‘Forward’ Head" Corrected Bv Neck Exercise

By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer A head which is thrust forward so that the chin seems to arrive before the rest of the body is just as | attractive as one which droops with | chin almost touching the chest. And the way to correct either of these posture defects is to learn to make the muscles at the sides of the neck support the head and to straighten the top vertebrae of the spinal column, To straighten the neck and at the same time eliminate the dowager's hump on the back of it, simply relax your neck, letting head fall backward as far as it will go. Now place fingertips below ears and pull head upward. Make your hands— not neck muscles-—do most of the lifting job. Keep shoulders back and up. Place your hands on the back of your neck and see whether or not it is straight. If not, repeat the exercise until it is. Shoulders should nov be held back stiffly, of course, but neither should they be allowed to sag. Plenty of hollows above collar bones would disappear if shoulders were carried correctly. Two things make a woman's figure graceless: Too many extra pounds and stiffness of muscles in legs and waistline. If you want to walk lightly and look younger than you are, watch your weight. And, whether you are fat, slim or just right, get into the habit of doing a

candies in some and flowers in others. Mrs. Cameron Tiffany, one of the most interesting and compelling characters in New York, a very fascinating woman, came as a Salvation Army lass. Poor Emily Davies, whose tragic and untimely end occurred some short while ago, came as the Prince of Wales. Oddly enough, she resembled his Royal Highness so much, it was hard to realize he was not there in the flesh. Mr. Ashbel Barney came as George V of England. Mr. Barney had grown a beard, and bore a startling resemblance to his late and revered Majesty. It was unusually cheering to see the Prince and his noble father eating supper together in great cameraderie. 5 n n THINK two of the entries were amusing inasmuch as they were the two great Presidential opponents of the year before. Mme. Frances Alda, the opera singer, who has a wonderful sense of makeup, and lacks the usual

donnas, came as Al Smith with his brown derby and great cigar. She wore a mask that was so lifelike that everybody said to me, “What nerve you have, as your guests are mostly Republicans, to invite the Democratic leader!” But as I happened to be made up as Mr. Hoover myself, you can draw your own conclusions. I thoroughly respect and hold Mr, Hoover in the greatest esteem. Notwithstanding this, I feel that in choosing him as my opposite I was really paying him the highest compliment, So you see how I tried out my formulas the first time in New York. ” ” ” HOPE this party proved to be the right cocktail, the mixture which a good party must have. For this was the first time, I believe, that a hostess dared to include so many people from the artistic world and that of the theater—and without them there would have been no party, for they are the greatest additions, if hostesses only realized it, without which no party is a success. The lovely Gertrude Lawrence came as Mozart, which Yvonne Printemps and Sacha Guitry at that time were playing on Broadway. The late George Gershwin came as Groucho Marx with a black mustache, his great cigar, eyebrows and spectacles. You couldn't have told the difference, and when he sat down and played his most famous song of the moment for Gertie to sing, believe me, it would have stopped any show. Clifton Webb and Beatrice Lillie came as Roman gladiators. This was an interesting point in psychology, as with all their

vanity that inflates most prima

Cole Porter and Ina Claire make up as campus hero and coed.

(and they are two people whom I most dearly love), I cannot say that either of them ever remotely resembled a Roman gladiator.

n ” ” REMEMBER the famous Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean came as her own “Hope Diamond,” and tucked away, one could see this great jewel faintly glimmering through her domino. The indomitable, dashing and fascinating Countess Frasso, one of the greatest characters of this age, and Bertram Taylor, popular governor of the Stock Exchange, came as peanut vendor and organ grinder. This was laughable, as the Countess owns probably the greatest house in Rome, the Villa Madama, with frescoes by Raphael. So naturally, opposite would be an Italian peasant, and Bertram Taylor's opposite would certainly be an organ grinder with a monkey. My first New York party, which might have proved a boomerang, fortunately was a success. Today when I read of “Come As Your Opposite Parties,” which are given in many different places throughout the globe, I feel instinctively that they must be good parties, because when people get out of themselves and become somebody else, they also throw off inhibitions and are carefree. You cannot be a good hostess or guest unless you remember the old adage, “Let joy be unconfined!”

When adequate trump support is found in the responding hand, there is, of course, a good fit. When the hand which is tO become the dummy has even three small trumps, there is fair insurance against a real misfit. With voids, singleton or doubletons, there should be careful probing of the possibilities at the very lowest range in order to avoid heavy penalties. The most recent development in modern bidding 1s the employment of one-round forces, almost unknown a few years ago, which eliminates the need for jumping the bidding and thus have the hand get out of control. Today's hand illustrates putting on the brakes, and avoiding a probable heavy penalty, taking a part score instead. North’s opening, after two passes, is in accord with all present bidding standards and East is plenty strong enough to make an

to 40 years of age. Women have it died of this disease in the United States and it has been believed in the past that hundreds of thousands were affected. The symptoms of pellagra usually come out in the spring and new cases are rarely seen in the fall

or winter. While the cause of pel-

lagra has hot been completely established, it is now rather generally accepted that a lack of Vitamin B2 is the factor. It seems also to be obvious that in some cases the lack of Vitamin B is due to inability to absorb the vitamin, as in certain cases in which prolonged consumption of whisky has interfered with the taking of food. There are also conditions affecting the stomach and the digestion which make the absorption of the Vitamin B ‘difficult. In addition to a lack of Vitamin B, it is possible that the diet is deficient in certain proteins, The work of the celebrated Joseph Goldberger of the U. 8. Public Health Service seemed to establish quite definitely that pellagra does not develop in people who take a mixed, well balanced and varied diet. During periods of depression when some people find it difficult to secure sufficient amounts of food of the right kinds, the incidence of

Lack of Vitamin B and Some Proteins Believed To Be Cause ot Pellagra

Skin Eruptions, Nausea and Sleeplessness Are Among Disease Symptoms; Incidence Rises In Times of Depression.

(Third of a Series on Deficiency Diseases)

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal

Considered formerly a disease largely limited to the Southern portions of the United States, pellagra has now been found in Minnesota, Illinofs, and indeed occasionally cases are found in every state. The condition was first described by a Spaniard in 1735. Later it was seen in Italy. Now it is seen all over the world. It may affect people of any age, although the majority of the cases appear in persons of about 30 more often than men,

In 1915, more than 10,000 people ®

pellagra are those affecting the skin, the digestion and the nervous system. The eruption on the skin resembles ordinary sunburn and is usually seen first on the backs of the hands, later involving the neck, the forehead and the feet. Damage to the skin may result ultimately in scarring. Since the inflammation of the skin appears chiefly on those sec= tions which are exposed to sun= light, this is also believed to be a factor.

The mouth frequently is in= flamed and sore, and there is also a persistent diarrhea in about 75 per cent of the cases. This diar=rhea is, of course, responsible for the loss of fluid from the body and for the elimination of much of tha food before it has been digested and before the body has been able to get its full value, Along with the bowel disturbe ances, these people suffer with headache, dizziness, nausea, sleep= Jessness and sometimes with come plete mental disturbance. Pellagra should apparently not be difficult either to prevent or te cure.
