FOR THE oII1LDREN's USE

Children IS rooms nowadays may be
fitted with specially made toilet articles
that are exact duplicates Of those used
by grown-ups, and yet are more con-
venient for the little folk to handle.
Complete in every detail from the soap
dish to the tooth mug, these toilet sets
in glazed chinaware are made on sim
pie lines, but are decidedly attractive
and Immediately interest all youngsters
because of the way they are decorated.
Some of them are particularly effective,
as they illustrate fairy tales with
which every child is familiar, such as
Old Mother Hubbard in the Mother
Goose rhymes, the tale Of the goose and
the golden egg, or -Four and Twenty
Blackbirds, = etc, in blue, pink or red
on cream or white background. 9th
ers are ornamented with fish in curious
shapes, all bobbing in and out Of a
stream, or else they depict scenes show
ing boys or girls about to plunge into
a pool Of water, or perhaps nurse or
mother attempting to wash the. face Of
a small boy, who is resisting her at
tempts at cleanliness. These sets, if
crude, are exceedingly serviceable for
small girls and boys and are in keep

other furniture. y, .s.ss

BRIDGE WHIST INJURIOUS

Because it is injurious to the figure,
bridge whist is falling into disfavor.
It's hours with the fashionable set are
numbered, and society soon will be
:ppiiining for some other gambling game.
All this proves that woman Is vanity
is still greater than her craze for
games Of chance. The sudden revolt
against bridge whist came when ply
sician announced that the constant
bending over table tended to destroy
the graceful lines of the waist. The
shoulders, it was pointed out, would be-
come stopped eventually, the chest de-
pressed, and the grace of commanding
carriage would be gone, unless the
devotees Of bridge whist sat up straight
in their chairs when playing the game.
But what woman intent on her oppon-
ent' play could sit upright and think
both Of her figure and her cards at the
same times Either the cards or the
figure must remain uppermost in the
mind. Society women decided that
they preferred to give up whist rather
than look old and bent.

In Defence of the Woman Con1n1ufer

When they all get aboard there is .
regular fireworks of parcels shot up
into the package racks above the seats.
Now observe the woman commuter ,
as she jauntily swings her little wrist
bag in one hand and her evening paper
in the, other. If she has done any shop
ping in her noon hour she has either had
it sent home or has tucked it in that
miraculous handbag. Not being the
head of family, she is not expected
to bring the children s shoes, or new
horse blanket, or collection of garden
ing tools.
Of course it lovely of man to
turn himself into domestic dromedary.
But the point is, and there's no deny
ing it, it IS the man commuter who car
ries the most parcels.
But the aforementioned man writer
has another grievance:
"She loses pocketbooks," he says,
Gin the proportion Of five to one lost
| by a man, and when she has lost
purse with her money and ticket In it,
seeing all hope of getting home again
cut off, her actions are best described
as going up in the air.
Dear me! that is interesting. What,
anyway, does tgoing up in the air
meant Somebody with less limited
slang vocabulary may solve that. The
thing that concerns the commuter ID
that five to one ratio.
I never lost but one pocketbook in
my life, and then it was because had
given my bag to stupid man to carry.
No further argument is necessary.
The fourth and final complaint OF
this fault-fnding male person is that
women commuters care always the last
/ persons out of the trains
Yes, SO they are. And / don't see
how it's to be helped unless they take
Ito dropping out of the windows. Any
body who has seen a morning train
from the suburb steam into the sta
tion, with men hanging from the steps
and from the railing like swarm OK
bees, men crowding into the aisles and
walking all over each other in their
anxiety to get out before the train
stops-will understand why the woman
commuter is always the last to alight.
Do let her have that little privilege.
i On the whole, it does seem as If that
poor fellow who feels spiteful toward
woman commuters had mistaken the
i whole thing. Polly Penn.

pleased with the reports that reach her.
She told Mrs. Bonaparte the other day
she thought it was scandalous, all this

No. 15-Playing Dummy In Declared Trump
Hand.

When a trump is declared and you and dummy to-
play lead trumps and exhaust the adversares espe
cially when either you the dummy hold good suit
to establish and bring in.
The ideal hand in no-trump consists Of suit
which becomes established and the small cards made
to take tricks. In declared trump, other than
forced spade make you and the dummy together prob
ably have the majority Of the trumps and with almost
any long suit that be cleared immediate trump
lead is imperative. First exhaust the adversaries'
trumps and then the small cards Of established suit
become good for tricks.
When holding but seven trumps between dummy
and yourself four in hand and three in the other,
you must study the hand before leading the trumps.
If you hold three commanding trumps and estab-
shed suit you may lead the trumps but if your long
suit is not established is generally wiser to lead
that and force the high cards from their hands before
leading the trumps. When holding seven trumps di-
vided five in one hand and two in the other it is
usually best to lead them regardless Of their value.
If the adversaries have the high they must
take the tricks and if they are divided you can at
least prevent their making them separately.
With five trumps in hand, the only time you
do not lead them is when you let the weak trump
hand trump in short suit; try them to let the
weak hand ruff before leading the ,rumps.
Never force the strong trump hand to trump
less you establish ruff (you trumping
suit and dummy another). This makes your trumps
separately and is almost sure gain. Upon gaining
the lead and wishing to lead trumps 1t may be that
it would be preferable to have the lead from the
hand which is not in, and therefore you may have to
lead plain suit first in order to put that hand in
that the trump lead may be made most advantageousl
In leading trumps the same principle applies as in
leading plain suts-lead that the weak hand shall
be exhausted of it's high cards first. And in fnessng
the same rules apply as in no-trump hand
Holding a tenace in one hand have the lead come
from the other hand and nese the lower card of the
tenace; or having in the other hand the card next
in sequence below the lower card of the tenace lead
that and pass it.
Have the weak and short hand lead up to the one
which is long and strong the shorter hand getting rid
of it's high cards first.
Should the adversaries have but remaining
trump and that the command it is usually foolish to
lead for it, except in the where either hand
you have long established suit which you do not
want interrupted when you begin to play it, because
you have other reentry with which to regain the
lead and continue it.

LAUGHTER IS BEAUTIFY1NG

LAUGHTER IS BEAUTIFYING
Cultivate happiness, smiles and laugh
ter; they keep you young.
Take exercise in the open air daily;
air is all essential.
Begin from your earliest day to sleep
with your window open, and not only
have bath every day, but rub and
stimulate the skin from the head to
the heel.
Never neglect to go thru some exer-
cises which will keep the muscles in
order, the head erect, the shoulders
well thrown back; carriage stands you
in good stead, even in old age.
Believe that people like you and ad-
mire you; it is more than half the bat
tie, and takes you more than half on
the road that leads to universal admira-
tion.
Never let yourself 60.
Rich or poor, you can always do the
best for yourself; and be most careful
Of your diet.
Study what suits your digestion; do
not eat too much meat or drink too
much tea; indulge in good draughts Of
! pure water at least twice day, hot or
| cold, as suits you best.

It is wise to whip the cream in
china cracker jar. It is high, SO the
egg beater cannot overbalance and fall
out, if left in the bowl; and it's shape
keeps the cream from spattering.
Cherry toast is good breakfast dish.
Pit the cherries and place on buttered
toast, sprinkle lightly with powdered
sugar and bake. Serve very cold.
Various icings can be easily made
with confectioner sugar. Mash
banana and mix to paste with con-
fectioner IS sugar. Mash strawberries
and stir into confectioner sugar.
Make paste of cocoa or chocolate,
cream and confectioner' sugar. Mix
confectioner sugar with evaporated
cream to make plain white icing.
The housewife has many uses for
picked nasturtium seed. After the
flower has dried from the nasturtium
plant, lay the seed in salt and water
for two days; then drain and lay in

and season it with mace and pepper
corns and little white sugar. Fill
jars to overfowing and seal.
The French use watercress as an anti
dote to nicotine, heavy smokers some
times partaking freely Of it to avoid
the consequences of excess in tobacco.
Rabbits inoculated with nicotine AMI
suffering in consequence with tetanus
have been restored to health by the
injection Of watercress juice and a
minute quantity of caffeine.
Dried mushrooms are not expensive,
are easily procured and give delicious
flavor to soup, gravjes and meat sauces
+ Don't use more than three or four
small pieces, or the flavor will be toe
strong. Soak them for at least an hour
in cold water before using. They are
especially good in tomato soup or sauce
This salad, going by the name to-
mato cups, is delicious: Scoop out the
center Of some carefully peeled toma

The man who says uncomplimentary
things in the newspapers about women
never affects woman much.
She reflects amiably that that's prob
ably the only sort of woman he knows.
He is really to be pitied because of his
limited acquaintance.
But when he makes sweeping state
ments like, the following, she feels
monstrate> in behalf Of the slandered
woman commuter:
"As commuter the woman traveller
shows to poorest advantage. She is
more likely to miss a train than is
man.
I want to know!
If you had been riding on commu-
ter's ticket for three or four years,
and had been missing your train on an
average Of once in two years, that
statement would ruffle you slightly,
wouldn't itf Particularly if you knew
a man who missed his on an average
of once week during the summers out
| of town!
| And more especially If you generally
! arrived at the station In time to read
the first page Of your newspaper, and
then witnessed the male population of
the suburbs dashing up highways and
byways at the last minute, and scram-
bling red-faced and breathless aboard
the last platform Of the last car.
But the man writer has more to say:
HShe carries more parcels than a
4 man and she loses four times as many
Of them in transit. -

North and South score eight tricks.

Comment
Trick 1-Pone knows his partner has either
queen Of diamonds The rule is not to trump partners
lead Of king but Pone figures if his partner holds the
queen and the dealer the ace, it will be better
trump this trick and exhaust dummy of his reentry
in clubs before his spade suit is established Notice,
if Pone passes this trick North and South make
little SIAM Dealer is certain Pone will lead club,
taking out Dummys only reentry. The only possible
way to make another reentry in Dummy hand is for
the dealer to keep both his small diamonds to
be able to lead twice thru the queen on his left.
Trick 3-Dealer first exhausts the trumps then
tries to establish Dummy's spades
Trick Dummy must keep his two diamonds al
a re-entry for his spades.
Trick 6-Dealer leads the ace Of spades first to
unlock
Trick dummy overplays East 50 as to continue
the spade suit if East is holding up the king.
Trick s-Dummy must keep his two diamonds.
Trick n-Dealer leads low diamond thru East s
queen if East plays the queen, Dummy's ten becomes
good for the next trick and he then make his
queen of spades. East must win this trick; if he
passes it, dealer will discard his losing diamond on
Dummy spade. /,
