COUNSEL IDENTIFIED During the hearing of a case in an American court counsel confronted each other for the first time. “You dirty, double-crossing four- flusher,” snarled one. “I’ll show you up for the crooked ape you are.” “Oh, yeah!” returned the other. “You needn’t take that line with me, you ham-faced liar.” At this point the judge intervened. “Now that learned counsel have identified each other, the case will proceed,” he announced. Don’t Be Haughty The editor handed the manuscript hack, after hastily scrutinizing it, and said loftily: “You needn’t be so haughty about it,” said the author. “You’re not the only one who won’t!” Mistake Straphanger — Madam, you’ve placed your bag on my foot. Lady Straphanger—Oh, I’m so sorry. I thought it was the foot of the man sitting down.

Hour-Glass Silhouette Is a ‘Must’ Fashion 'T'HIS is really a “must” fashion -*• for this season, when your fig ure should by all means have the delicately rounded, small-waisted look that distinguished the gra cious ladies of the eighties. Gath ers on the shoulders and at the waistline, gathers on each side of the front skirt panel which flat tens your diaphragm beautifully— that’s all the detailing there is to 8567, so that anybody can make it without any trouble at all. And the result is a charmingly elegant, tiny-waisted fashion that you’ll love for afternoon and general wear. Make it of wool broadcloth, faille, flat crepe or sheer velvet, and revel in the satisfaction of having an ultra-smart dress that looks expensive and costs really very little. Pattern No. 8567 is designed for sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Size 14 requires 414 yards of 39-inch fabric with three-quarter length sleeves; 4% yards with short sleeves. ’ -> ; • V For a pattern of this attractive model send 15 cents ip couv.ypur... name, address, style;, number, and. size to The Sewing Circle, Pattern Dept., Room 1324, 211 W.

The other way. is to avoid having it by getting at its cause. So why not save yourself those dull headachy days, plus- the inevitable trips to the medi cine chest, if you can do it by a simple common-sense “ounce of prevention”? If your trouble, like that of millions, is due to lack of “bulk” in the diet, “the better way” is to, eat Kellogg’s All-Bran. This crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal has just the “bulk” you need. If you eat it regularly-and drink plenty of water—you can not only get regular but keep regular, day after day and month after month! All-Bran is made by Kellogg’s in Battle Creek. If your condition is chronic, it is wise to consult a physician. Ease Up “Where did you get those trou sers, old man? They fit like a glove.” “That’s just it; they should fit like trousers.” wurCHILOS [HEST [OLDS’Sbs ^ QUICK.. RUB YOUR CHILD WITH SUPER-] MEDICATED PENETRO. LET UJjj IN ITS GOOD WORK.
