CULTIVATE THE PINK

a famous beauty. doctor says:
don It advise my patients to wear
pink; that would be too extreme, but I
tell them to get in shape SO that they
can wear pink. It is a hard color and
makes you look as black as sin unless
your skin, is fitted for it. Wear pink
right next to the face, so as to bring
out the pink of the cheeks, and the
tpinks Of the chin and the ear lobes.
Pink cheeks should not be too deep
in hue or they can not show the blush
as it mounts into them. The pink
should not extend over too large an
area or the whole face will seem
flushed.
For red lips / am advising spinach
and summer vegetables. make my
patients eat celery or spinach or let
tuce for breakfast with their rolls and
coffee, and ask them to cut out acid
fruits. III
The acids do not work we'll with
some women. They break up the COM
plexion and the result is a strawberry
rash or q breaking out Of some kind. It
is. only on the surface, but for a. time
! it is destructive TO beauty.

One Of the mysterious questions
scribblers love to debate is, "What
sort of woman does man like best?'
am not man, and l don't know
what sort Of a woman a man likes
best; butt do know one kind Of 'wo-
man he always likes, and this is true
whether he shines in society, or wheth-
er he is a domestic man with natural
preference for home-loving little wo

stockings and making fancywork un-

In the first place, she is woman who
makes a good appearance. She needn It
be "smart," or even stylish, but she
simply must be well-groomed and be-
comingly dressed. That kind of woman
attracts man, tho he be born blind.
She holds the leading card and has the
start in the game. No man ever yet
admired "dowd' because she was a
"dowd.' If her other qualities are
such that they win out in spite of her
dowdiness, you may be sure the latter
is always thorn in his side.
Next, she is the self-possessed wo-
man. A man may pity the shy little
thing, who bushes and stammers in
company; but she has no magnetic
qualities to levy on his admiration. He
is invariably attracted toward a woman
who is capable of holding her own
among others. She needn It be witty OF
sparkling. AS matter Of fact, the
average man is a. little afraid of the
brilliant women. Her flashes of wit
are too often directed upon himself. But
that. she should walk serenely among
men and women, in perfect possession
Of her wits, is one of the things he re.

No. 13-Playing Dummy on No Trumper.
(An Rights Reserved.)

AS soon as you gain the lead, your best plan is
usually to play for the suit in which you and dummy
together have the most cards; having two suits of
equal length, choose to lead the one which is most
unevenly divided. suit wherein one hand holds six
and the other two is better than which is divided
five and three Having two suits equally distributed
ana Identical as to high cards. play for the having
the strength exposed in dummy rather than the one in
which you hold the strength The adversaries already
know about dummy s strength; do not give them
unnecessary information.
1t pays to establish suit When the best card of
your long suit is against you force it out at once
Then while you making the length Of your estab
shed suit you can force the opponents to discard and
can thus secure information which will later prove Of
value
Having decided upon the best suit to lead consider
which side the lead had better come from Of course
if have high cards of equal value in the hands,
it makes little difference from which side the lead
comes the thing to remember then is to exhaust
the high cards from the short hand frs not to
block the hand which is long But if the high cards
are of unequal value it is usually better to have the
lead come from the weak hand up to the strong.
Remember these two points: Let the weak hand
lead to the strong and make the hand which is shorter
give up it's high cards first
The Value of an Entry for Your Long Suit
An established suit is of no value unless the lead
be gotten into the hand which contains it, there
fore the preservation of a reentry card is of the
greatest Importance. ...
reentry card, or an tsentry,o as 1t is sometimes
called is card by means Of which hand that has
lost the lead again secure it. ~
In no trumper the highest card of a suit is a
re-entry The ace is re-entry, the king and
queen in one hand is reentry, Of these
must win the queen, jack and ten in hand for

Sometimes when dummy has established suit you
build up entry in his hand by sacrificing high
card in your own hand Suppose dummy holds several
established cards and his only possible reentry is
guarded king queen if you should lead up to that

thus prevent him from ever making his suit, but if
dummy has the king and you lead the queen, if
he has the queen and you lead the king, the
opponents by winning your card with the ace at

Of course, under such development, it is the adver

THE REASON WHY.

D ACKGANIMON boards made to look like books
- because Eudes, bishop of Sicily, tried to stamp
out backgammon in the fifteenth century.
Eudes decided in 1467 that his clergy devoted
time to backgammon and chess than good for
their spiritual welfare and therefore he ordered that
all the backgammon and chessboards in the Siciian
monasteries should be destroyed a.-;S
The willy monks only pretended to obey. They
bound their boards in calf put pious titles their
backs, and put them the book shelves along with
the monastic works. ...e....
Thus Eudes was satisfied and the monks not de-
prived of their innocent games, and thus the
custom of constructing backgammon and chess boards
to resemble folios.

into whose ears she pours them is bored
and repelled. He may not know why
it is SO, but so it is.
For when an inscrutable Providence
made man, he left out of his compost

thy, and this is more often than not
consumed in contemplation of his own
miseries. Of womankind he demands
an unfailing cheerfulness, and woe unto
her if she cannot turn her very back
aches and weary limbs into jest
But while he may not himself have
much sympathy to spare, it is quail
ity he never fails to appreciate in 9TH
ers, and one of the strongest attractions
that draws a man to a woman is the
never-failing interest with which she
can put aside her own troubles and
listen sympathetically to his.
He does not mean to be selfish. 1t is
born in him. Nor does the genuine
woman consciously assume this sympa-
thy. 1t is part of her motherliness.

to admire her for this.
