Doctors recently have been puzzled y a number of cases where people ve complained of pains in the ab- fominal organs, of headaches and ner yous troubles of various kinds, Upon $xamination nothing had "been dis- povered and a few days' rest in' bed had generally been found to cure the trouble. But on the patient's return fo work sand here is the mystifying part-- he pains have invariably returned as geutely as ever. Careful investigation of these mys- fery cases'has recently been made by a well-known specialist. His conclu- Blon is that they are due to faulty pos- ure, the misalignment of muscles rom leaning over desks, and the inching of nerves from not carrying the body erect. The business man who slumps over is desk--the typist who hunches her ack over her typewriter--the house- Wife who reads over her meals with ent shoulders--the girls who adopt the fashionable slouch--the office hoy jwith his head forward and his chest] {n--are all flirting with death just as pudaclously as if they spent their luncheon hour dodging beneath "the wheels of motor-cars.

It may be shell-pink and as do- ~~ By Weare Holbrook An ear, according to the latest de. finition, is something to tuck hair be- corative as a rose leaf, but its purpose is practical, The hair is gathered in- to a sort of sheaf at each side of the head and is deposited just back of the plnna, or outer fold of the ear. And there it stays--sometimes for as long as a minute and a half, At the rpesent time most of the boy- ish bobs in this country are at the awkward age. Women are battling against overwhelming odds and ends. The feminine silhouette is deckloy edged, and there is a fringe ai the nape of the neck which defies the best efforts of hairpins, nets and pomades, Even doll-faced debutantes have a frowsy, intellectual look as if they had stayed up all night reading Oswald Spengler instead of dancing at the Sherry-Netherland. The couturieres of Paris can length- on skirts from knee to ankle over night, but it takes at least six months for bobbed hair to catch up with the procession, Ten years ago, when the era of short skirts and short hair be- gan, it was possible for a woman to achieve the heights of fashion at a single leap. She simply rendered unto scissors the thing that were sclssor- able. Tresses and dresses were ab- breviated simultaneously, and a new woman sprang into being--a new wo- man who lpoked exactly like all the other new women, and was therefore content. There were two feminine factions in those days: the conservative Cavaliers and the radical Roundheads. The Cavallers boasted of hair so long tivat they could sit on it; the Roundheads boasted of skirts so short that they couldn't sit on them. They had fre- quent skirmishes during the Turbul- ent Twentles; it was hairpins versus scissors--and scissors usually won. But now the Cavaliers have every- thing their own way. Their curves, coiffures and sweeping trains, which used tor excite ridicule, are objects of envy today. The Caviliers are ar- rayed in the height of fashion, and-- which is more important--in the length of fashion as well, They are the only ones who are able to make both ends neat, I can remember, as if it were yes- terday, the time Phodbe bobbed her hair. She came into the house, took oft her hat, tossed her head defiantly and said: "Well?" "Well what?" I asked without Took: ing up from my newspaper. "Oh, nothing," replied Phoebé. She was strangely silent during din- ner, Then suddenly she said: "Tell me honestly--what do you think of i" "It's all right," I said, the steak would have with mushroom sause onions." She stared at me. "What on earth are you talking about?" "The dinner," I replied. "Didn't you ask me"-- . "Good heavens!" exclaimed Phoebe. "Are you blind? Don't you notice any- thing different about me this even- ing?" "No," I admitted, "except that you seem to have a sort of Ajax-defying- the-lightning expression." Phoebe sighed despairingly. "I've had my bair bobbed," she explained. I looked. "So you have," I agreed. "But, don't you care?" she demard- ed, "Doesn't it mean anything to you? Why, when Alice Miffle bobbed her hair her husband was furious, He threatened to divorce her, The Pilk- ingtons didn't speak for two weeks after Mrs, Pilkington got her bob, Mr, Wassup orderéd his wife out of the house when she c1me home with her hair cut off. And you--you don't even n-notice mine!" That was a lesson to me, Since that day I have tried to be mora ob- servant in matters pertaining to the feminine coiffure.

AN the ets look like golliwogs or Bulu vom. the eck ub: : Like t of her sox, Phoebe was caught short in an almost bare market last fall, Her dressmaker kept calling for more margin, But Phoebe did not confide her troubles to me, and my first intimation of the new lengths to which fashion had gone occurred one day in November when she literally swept into the room. like a rells of the Nineteen-Naughties. Only her toes were visible below the edge of her skirt, and she actually had a train. It was a short, rudimentary train that switched to and fro as she walked; probably a shuttle. 4 But it was her ears that impressed me most. They were entirely uncov- ered and exposed to the elements, They seemed to spring from her head, full-panoplied, like Minerva from the head of Jove, "Well, well," I sald brightly. "I see you've had your hair cut shorter. It's very becoming. Bang! went another faux pas, Phoebe leveled at me a glance that was devastating. Then, turning her head, she showed me a few wisps of hair tucked away behind her ears. "I am letting my hair grow," she in- formed me coldly. "All right, darling," I replied. "It shall be our secret--yours and mine." That was more than three months ago, She is still letting it grow, It is 80 long now that she can 'wrap it around her ears. But that is about all that can be done with it, It is still too short to be coiffed; there is plenty of it, but not a. colt In a car- load. Lately she has taken to sticking hair-pins into it by way of encourage- ment--just as a suburbanite decorates hig backyard garden with empty seed envelopes impaled upon stakes, in the hope that the pictures will inspire his radishes. "Growing out" parties are popular among the younger set this winter. Every few days Phoebe and her friends get together and discuss crops. They compare scalp-locks, count curls relate various hair-raising adventures and exchange advice on the digposal of wisps, cowlicks and looses ends. Sometimes their contests are quite ex- citing; at the.last meeting Mrs. Pilk- ington's and Mrs, Mixe's ex-boyish bobs were running neck and neck, But in spite of all feminine artifices and attempts to rehabilitate the de- vastated areas, there is no disguising the fact that this is a period of storm and stress. If a fairy prince stood be- neath the window of a modern damsel to-night and called, "Rapunzel, Rapun- zel, let down your hair," she would have to tell him to uss a ladder or come back again in about three years. For the modern damsel is measuring her tresses not by ells but by milli- meters, and Dame Fashion Is the wicked witch who is responsible for her deplorable plight. Woman cannot, by taking thought, add one cubit to her colffure. Gazing into her mirror, she inquires anxious- ly: "Curly locks, curly locks, wilt thou | be mine?" To which the mirror re-| plies, "Say, what's your hurry?"

The thing is never to criticize, but always to seek to under- stand. If you do learn to understand the point of view of others, I can ven- ture to make this promise, that the longer you are in contact with human nature the more you will admire it. "And when you are up against the real thing--the real difficulties, not only of health but of lite, you will of- ten turn round and say to yourself: "It I had been placed in that position, I don't think I would have done as well." ete Use Minard's in the Stable.
