Beware of To Affair

Motivated by Jealousy; Uncertain Wife Warned

Mother, Her Face Bearing Scars of Smallpox Illness

After Marriage, Seeks Comfort From Blow Of Husband’s Waning Interest.

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

EAR JANE JORDAN—I am a married woman 27 years old. My husband is 28 and we have two children. I am just as homely as my husband is handsome, although I have many friends. My husband likes better looking women too well. I used to be better looking, but that was before I had smallpox. I had it after we were married and now my face is a mass of scars. I never go any place with my husband because he acts as if he is ashamed of me. He never tells me so in so many words, but what else can it be when he is always pushing me into the arms of other men at dances? But he did it once too often. One of those men fell for me and I for him. I don’t know whether it is real love or not, but I think a lot of him and he says he loves me. Should I continue to see him or wait and hope that my husband will love me again some time? G.C M *

ANSWER—I believe you are still in love with your husband and that the other man hasn’t taken his place in your heart very suce cessfully. Isn’t it true that your husband’s neglect humiliated you so much that you have tried to humiliate him in turn by being unfaithful? To be sure you haven't told him but I'm not sure you won’t arrange to let yourself be caught. I believe you want him to know that you can attract some one else in spite of your appearance. It has been said that a homely woman has a better chance to hold the love of a man than a pretty woman, for she is loved for something within herself rather than her face.or her figure. This idea has a germ of truth in it, for prettiness palls unless it is backed by character, and a homely face becomes beautiful to those who admire the spirit back of it, >

For this reason I feel that you should guard against-ugly, re-

vengeful feelings if you can for fear you lose the thing your friends love in you. A second match made upon this basis would not be likely to succeed. Many a woman accepts the embraces of one man while pretending he is another but there is little happiness to be found in such a fantastic situation. It is possible but not inevitable that your husband’s love might revive if he thought he was about to lose you. Many wives have tried this trick and I have seen as many failures as successes result. The important thing for you is to recognize your own motives so that you do not deceive the other man .and yourself by pretending an at-

tachment that you do not feel. # » » ” »

” Dear Jane Jqordan—There is a girl I would like to go with. I see and talk with her almost every day but I do not have the nerve to ask for a date. There is a fear present that I cannot get away from. I wish you would tell me something to do to help me overcome this fear. LONESOME. ANSWER~—The best way to get over your fear of doing something is to do it. If the girl says no, all is not lost, for some other girl will say yes. Hang on to the old saying that faint heart never won fair lady and push by your own fear of defeat. There is no other way. JANE JORDAN.

By GERTRUDE BAILEY Jumpers are back in fashion for the school girl. One of the smartest ensembles, brought over from England, has a green wool jumper and a green wool topcoat. Sweaters and guimpes and blouses supply the fresh appearance and the various degrees of warmth to the jumper. There are jumpers with jackets, too. They lock like suits. There’s fashion news for the little fella, too. Just in case he’s tired of wearing Dutch boy trousers that button onto shirts year after year. For him there is a draw string blouse of finely striped shirting that tucks inside and stays tucked inside knitted or jersey shorts. The shorts have elastic in the top, to stay in place, too. For today’s smart little girls are two new hats, direct from Suzy in Paris, that we predict wil be snitched by any big sister or grandmother who can don a child's headsize. Has Wide Brim in Front

As far as we know this is the first time the younger generation has gone in for chapeaux instead of bretons. One hat of felt has a peak

“crown and a brim that is wide at the front ahd sides, and very narrow

in back where it is finished with a“ribbon cocarde and short streamers. If she is very young she will wear it far back on the head. The other Suzy hat is an off the face turban finished, high above the forehead, with a tailored felt bow. : Washable corduroy comes in for fashion attention in the old fashioned rose color, as well as light blue, for a party frock with smocking. Mothers who think their daughters are too young for velvet, may be able to turn their attention to this more practical fabric. In cotton, gingham, or challis school frocks you are pretty sure to find at least one smart plaid, one attractive print, and one plain colored fabric at any price, since these three are perennial favorites. The handsomest plaids are of course the American ginghams for dresses, such as the bow dress - | sketched lower right in the group; and the green wool Scotch plaids for coats, like the one sketched top left. This coat has a green velveteen collar and is adorable worn with a Scotch cap of green streamers. : Parents who like to see themselves in miniature will indulge their young with cardigans and pullovers of real cashmere, with navy or wine flannel robes that have foulard Japels just like dad’s, with quilted robes, and for all kinds of weather —a reversible topcoat of tweed and gabardine.

Flat Diaphragm and : Trim Hips are Decreed For New ‘Dresses.

There are no two ways about it— you simply cannot wear the new slim fall dresses which give a “corseted look through the middle of the body” unless your stomach. and diaphragm are flat, hips trim, Therefore, if you like the new styles and intend to wear them, better get busy with exercises and plans for a new diet. Anyone can reduce her dimensions. But seldom is this a simple matter. On the contrary, it usually takes more time and patience and

Because of the relationship of the thyroid to other glands, extracts of the thyroid have been prepared in pure form and are used in the treatment of many different diseases.

night in the Columbia Club. Decorgfions and appointments

OGRESS

£7:

If a person who has developed the condition called myxedema, which is the result of lack of thyroid extract, is given some of the artificial extract, he begins to feel better immediately.

In a few days he becomes warm- ©

er and less sleepy; his thoughts, his speech and his muscle movements become more rapid; fluid begins to disappear from his body due to the action of the. thyroid on the kidneys; the skin is stimulated to growth and peeling takes place; the hair loses its thick, coarse texture and grows faster. -

Effects Are Dramatic

There is nothing more dramatic in medicine than the effects of thyroid extract given to a myxedematous dwarf or a cretin. In case of overweight due to lack of thyroid

secretion, the results are equally |

striking. " In many of these cases the fat begins to increase considerably immediately after childbirth and the fat acumulates particularly on the hips, buttocks, thighs and breasts. It is necessary in every instance to make certain that the overweight is definitely of the thyroid The administration of extra thyroid for the control of overweight not of that type may produce symp- . toms of extra thyroid action which ' are far more serious than the overweight itself. In such cases, the rapidity of the heart, the nervousness, irritability, warmth and sweating are indications and warnings of the danger.

Relieves Skin Dryness

In certain skin diseases with severe dryness of the skin, thyroid extract is sometimes used to advantage, and it is frequently given to pregnant women in order to supply the extra material that they need at this time. The disease most definitely related to the thyroid gland, beyond . the. signs of its overactivity or underactivity, is the condition called goiter, Goiters are of‘ two main types—the simple enlargement of the gland and the enlargement which is associated with excessive action. i Whenever the thyroid gland is insufficient to supply enough thyroid secretion to the human body, it enlarges. Sometimes this enlargement occurs because the body is getting an insufficient amount of jodine; in other instances, it occurs because the gland itself is insufficient. ,

Solution to‘Previous Problem

By W. E. MMKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary A SUIT response to an opening : bid of one no trump conveys different information to the player using the TNT system of bidding popular with many New Englanders. The minor suit responses are not used to show strength in those suits necessarily but are barometers of the honor strength’ of the hand, and thus tell the opener whether. to bid further or stop, as his hand justifies on the basis of the information given. East, who had opened the bidding fourth hand, had many high cards, but no desirable suit. Users of the one over one bidding systems would probably have opened with one club which South would have overcalled,

but even then the no trump game contract should Pe reached, : :

In this system, however, South vulnerable, could not overcall, and West's bid of two diamonds showed a hand containing one honor trick and no five card major suit or four card major with two honors. While stronger than a two-club “bust” re-

nor one necessarily containing a five-card suit, as would be the case with other systems. When East rebid to two no trump, West was re‘quired to bid three, holding more than the minimum required for this bid, namely a king and a queen. The contract, of course, is easily made, as East clears the club suit at once, then runs clubs and diamonds and throws South in the lead withthe third heart for an end play in spades, making five odd. South could have saved a trick by discarding the king of hearts. ~~ .
