THE MERRIEST LADY IN AMERICA| peciared Way to Cure

Amusing Idea Is First Essential for a Really Successful Party And Prevent Pellagra

By ELSA MAXWELL (Copyright, 1937. NEA Service, Inc.)

F people ask me about my philosophy of parties, 1 must answer that I'm not sure that I have any. But of one thing I am certain. No one should give a party without a new angle to it. People are jaded these days. They seek to be amused. A hostess is successful in the degree in which she succeeds in being amusing. About party ideas —1 never struggle for them. If I get an idea, I give a party. That's what it amounts to. All I do is, as the Yogis say, go into a state of “suspended animation,” and if the idea comes, well and good. A hostess ought to remember one thing about a party: “Important” people are dangerous. They are not flexible enough to become merged in the general give-and-take of social merriment. They have been so busy being “important” that they've all too often forgotten the natural childish notion of how to play. The enjoyment to be found in parties does not please them. The greater they are, the more aloof they become, until finally they really only enjoy their own society. Another thing—almost all real lions hate to be stared at!

Dried Yeast and Plenty of Milk Aid Fight on Disease; Liver Extracts Administered in Most Advanced Cases.

(Fourth of a Series)

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal Goldberger and his associates, who investigated the prevention and treatment of pellagra, claim that they cured 47 cases by a daily dose of dried yeast, also that other people were cured by being given a daily allowance of fresh lean beef, In institutions, asylums and homes where the diet is under a centralized control, the prevention of pellagra is not difficult. Here a

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column.

EAR JANE JORDAN—Last summer I met a fine young man whom I later learned to love deeply. For about six months we went steady. Then we split up. Why, I don’t know. I have gone out with other young men but can find none to compare with him. I just can’t keep from thinking of him although I have tried hard not to. I see him quite often and once in a while he comes to see me. When he does he tells me he still cares for me and that no other ever will mean as much to him. He never lets me know in advance when he is coming and sometimes I am not home. Must I try to forget him? This would be very difficult as I have tried. Or is there some way I can win him back? PERPLEXED.

ANSWER—Before I reply to your letter I wish to print another from a boy which contains almost the same problem: Dear Jane Jordan—I went with a girl 13 months. To this day we both agree that they were days of bliss and contentment and the memory of them is golden. We never argued once, and the date be- | fore out last she said she loved me dearly. Could she change so quickly? She is not the type to fall for everyone and she said there was no other boy. In the last year I've had a few dates with her again and she said she believed she could love me again. I'm terribly lonely for a new girl who could make me forget how lonely I am. How does a fellow find these old-fashioned girls? I may have been around but now I want a more quiet life. BOB.

use of simple additional substances such as yeast as a more certain method of overcoming the incidence of pellagra. Diseases Are Factor

It has been found that cases of pellagra frequently occur after people have suffered with hookworm, amebic dysentery, tuberculosis or latent syphilis. All of these diseases tend to multiply and to thrive where people are poor, where hygiene is bad and where sanitation is absent. In addition to the control of the diet, some patients may be so severely sick that it is necessary to put them to bed and to feed them by the use of a tube. In these cases doctors sometimes administer liver extracts through the tube, since the liver is not only nutritious but helps to overcome the anemia and provide additional vitamins. Since the skin is sensitive, it is necessary to prevent bed sores and secondary infections. Because of the inflammation in the mouth, it is necessary to keep the mouth clean and to provide suitable washes and lotions to control the irritation. If chemical studies show that the gastric juice contains an insufficient amount of hydrochloric aeid, the doctor is likely to recommend additional hydrochloric acid for such pa« tients, Pellagra is primarily a disease of the poor rather than the wealthy.

O, if somebody is planning a party, she must usually make up her mind whether to have fun or to have a celebrity. If she chooses the celebrity, she must all too often give up the idea of her guests really enjoying themselves thoroughly, unless they get pleasure out of being in the same place as a famous person—and that can be a very much overrated pleasure, I assure you. No. The perfect party should be made up of different ingredients—people from every walk of life, but not too many from the same playground. A party, like a cocktail, must be well shaken. Unlike a cocktail, it must be served “hot.” That, as much as anything else, made the cowparty the success it was. And it gives a very fine idea of how anyone should hang on to a love some of my parties come into bewhich is dead but should accept the | ing. other person's “no” as final.

» THY not’ give a cow party? Such a thing had never been given before in a New York hotel, much less the greatest

hotel. So I conferred with my friend, Capt. Willy, who, with superb disregard of practical considerations, assured me that it could be done. I gave my party in honor of Mrs. William Randolph Hearst and Mrs. James Corrigan, and I asked everybody to come in country clothes or overalls. I then looked at the magnificent jade ballroom, the last word in ornate and gilded splendor, with great marble pillars, mirrors, chandeliers. My heart sank at first sight. It was as far removed from a farm vard as could be imagined. I was faced with the greatest job I ever tackled, to transform this ballroom into an old-fashioned,

thing. It happened that shortly afternormal person does get over disappointment, no matter how severe— and refuses to use his grief as a screen between him and further experience. Love never grows when we fret about it, Our agitation imparts nothing but disturbance to the other fellow, and does not recall his love. The boy who persists in his suit after being refused, or the girl who languishes after she has been left, tries to put the responsibility for personal happiness on the shouiders of another. It is better for them to accept the defeat and take up the search all over again than to cling forever to an attachment because it once gave promise. You two young people can find others if you make a determined effort to do so. You can throw yourselves 11t0 other activities and lett the love problem rest for =a while. Love seems to hide when it, is too ardently chased, and is found most edsily by those who are interested in many other things. JANE JORDAN.

ward, Grace came to New York to sail, with her handsome Spanish husband, Valentine Perara, on the same boat on which I had taken passage for the Riviera, where we both spend the summer. How she ranted on the subject of cows! As her hate was expended on this hapless beast, my admiration and belief in the cow was doubled, just to make a controversy. Then, aboard ship, we were both interviewed by reporters. I always long to say something outrageous when they ask, “Why are you going abroad?” “Gentlemen of the press, I have just murdered the president of the Chase Bank,” or “I have just blown up Mayor La Guardia at the City Hall, which seems a good reason to leave at once.” Alas, being a respectable and rather tame citizen, I have to resort to other extravagances to please my newspaper friends. So I blithely assured them I was geing to Europe to rejoin a most remarkable cow, as I cculd not find another such cow in the whole of New York State. I had, I said, spent long and distracted months in the Tower of the Waldorf Astoria, and I was going over there to get a small but definitely live cow to bring back with me and keep in my Tower, where it would look down on the follies of a great city. Well, the reporters were puzzled by my long peroration, but one very hardy individual said, “Aw, cut it out! What is your next party going to be, Elsa?” This lowered my dignity . . “My next party is going to be a cow party.” “Where is it going to be?” pursued my relentless inquisitor. “In the Waldorf Astoria.” “Do you mean it?” he asked. “Sure,” I said.

” n ” HIS incident naturally was quite forgotten, and when I came back in November, I was as free as air and as far from cow thoughts as a ranch hand from the West when he strikes Broadway. But did those reporters allow me to remain free from cow thoughts? The moment I arrived, ting-linga-ling went the telephone. hen is your cow party going on»

Todav’s Pattern

VERY line in this frock is designed to conceal unflattering bulges—yet the design is so simple that even a beginner can make it with confidence. The soft jabot at front softens the bosom without adding width to the shoulder, for the jabot extends from a yoke. The set-in sleeves are loose and deftly slim the upper arm. The skirt with tapered front panel gives a tall, slim look to the silhouette. For mid-summer wear, it's a lovely design for voile and other sheer cottons. Designed for sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 46, 48, 50 and 52. Size 38 requires 43% yards of 39-inch material, plus 2% yards of lace or embroidery to trim.

It is a wonderful cow, made of papier-mache, from which you can milk not only milk, but real champagne as well!” Excited and thrilled, I exclaimed, “Send me that cow at once.” It proved as lifelike as any cow could possibly be. It moved its head back and forth, and gave forth the most beautiful milk and, of course, also iced sparkling Moet & Chandon champagne. I called it the “Moet” cow instead of the “moo” cow and everybody tried to be milk and bar maids at once. I wondered: What is the most familiar sight in a farm yard? The family wash—red flannels and petticoats! Could I produce them anywhere, to hang up with the wash? After some search, they were found. The family washing hung in the Grand Jade Ballroom of the Waldorf was a picture that is hard to duplicate.

Envy of Fortune of Others Is Futile and Dangerous Business

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON As mothers are only human, it is natural for Mrs. Brown with her stirring family, to envy her childless neighbor, Mrs. Jones, the lovely leopard coat she bought at the summer fur sale. “If I had no children,” sighs Mrs. Brown, “I could get such things She loves the quiet peace of Mrs. Jones’ lovely home, and the

Mrs. Brown can do more mental arithmetic in a minute than a college professor. “Junior's teeth cost so much. That would have bought the lovely rug by the door.” “Sister's music lessons—a term would pay for the gold wallpaper in Mrs. Jones’ library.” “Baby's doctor bill would buy the leopard coat.” So reasons this little mother between sips of tea. It does little good to say that Mrs. Jones is envying her family, and that if she, Mrs. Brown, could trade her children for all this luxury, she would hold them tight to her heart and ery, “Never.” She knows all this, and yet she is just a little unhappy. Why can't John make enough to keep the family as he is doing, and still get her some fine things, too? This is her answer to herself. John naturally becomes the peg on whom her troubles hang.

There is a better answer to her problem, if she is willing to spend a quiet moment with herself and think it over. : This is to cease comparing her lot with people she thinks are more fortunate, whether they really are or not.

he was the real star of my barn yard party. No one knew of this little stunt, and many of the charming, beautifully gowned women of New York society were down on the floor as milk maids, languidly discussing their Schiaparelli and Molyneux frocks at the time the hogs were to appear from one end of the ballroom, and Tom Bevington was to call them from the other. 1 gently advised these ladies to move a little out of the way, but they disdained to budge. Then to their dismay 12 husky hogs raced squealing toward them, eager to reach the seductive “master's voice,” which they must obey. This was certainly an unexpected and diverting incident. I also had a whole town come to my party that night. It is not customary, I know, to include a whole town in your guest list. But this was the self-invited town of Saugerties, N. Y. They had heard

Every one of us can look across our streets and keep a-sighing for the cake of our neighbors. We want our own cake plus theirs, but we are not willing to take their potato skins with it. We want our best with their best always, and such thoughts are hopelessly wrong. No, dear mother of little children, throw these things off.

HIS is the sixth of a series of 12 articles explaining the “Standardized Code of Contract Bridge Bidding,” expounded in a new book which is sponsored by many leading bridge experts. The great differences between 1032 and 1937 methods of contract bidding are clearly shown in the Standardized code, just made publie. These differences are: 1. The modern method of smooth, oneround forces, which keeps the bidding low instead of jumping the bidding on the slightest provocation. 2. The new tendency to prove for a 4-4 suit fit so that losers may be discarded on longer established suits. 3. The tendency today to show a powerful hand by reverse bidding, that is, bidding a higher rank-
