Final Bid ............ Played by ..

from partner as to the best suit to
open, or else drive the opponents TO
a suit bid at which the game mlgnt
be more easily defended.
Vests pass of East's informatory
double automatically changed this
double into a business double. 1t is
for this reason that a pass in this
situation is termed a business pass.
A business pass is made when the
high-card values held warrant the as
sumption that the bid informatorily
doubled should be defeated, assuming
the double to be sound.
North, following Vests business
pass, sees clearly that he is in between
two strong hands. To extricate him.
self from this precarious position, he
redoubles, thus asking his partner to
rescue him with his best suit, feeling
sure that the impending loss would be
minimized by playing the hand at a
suit bid instead of at No Trump. His
redouble was clearly informatory be-
cause, if reasonably sure Of making
his contract, all he needed to do was
to pass, which would have closed the
bidding.
East bids two No Trumps, follow
ing South's Spade bid and the two
succeeding passes, believing that this
procedure would result in greater gain
than problematical business double
of two Spades.
Salient Points of the Play.
Trick /. In view of the bidding and
the cards in sight. East visualizes
South's holding as one void of high
cards, and therefore holds up the King
of Spades, thus blocking North s
clever attempt to bring in the Spade
suit.

skin sore. OF course, the first time
the goose pimples are given hard
scrubbing they may feel tender, but
this is because the clogged pores make
the skin unusually sensitive. AS the
cleansing treatment takes effect the
soreness will disappear and the skin
become smooth. 1t is a good plan to
use tincture of green soap for the
Scrubbing. If there is any soreness
after the rinsing pat on a little anti
septic lotion, like boric acid or per.
oxide solution or one of the COM
mercial antiseptic washes.
When the skin feels dry and itching
as well as being rough, a little olive
oil or cold cream may be rubbed in
after the parts have been thoroughly
washed and dried. The water used for
the bath should be softened with meal
water. Add a pint of cold water to a
teacupful of oatmeal or bran and let
it stand for about 80 minutes before
pouring off the liquid into the bath.
Another way to use the meal is to tie
about two te2spoonfuls in q small
muslin bag and immerse it in the
bath tub.
In addition to the thorough cleans,
ing at night the skin that is rough
ened by goose pimples needs cold
water and friction with a coarse towel
every morning. Rub the body into a
glow with the towel before taking a
cold shower or sponge bath. Step out
of the tub and repeat the rubbing,
paying particular attention to the
blemished surface. A brief exercise

Diversity.

Since there are not two homes alike,
it would be futile to be specific in sug.
gestions, but there are certain general
ways in which the finer influences can
be strengthened. They are such pleas
ant ways that they bring happiness to
the family-and then happiness is ra-
dated not by one of the members
only but by all. Accent the nice
things in the home and the place be-
comes cozy and comfortable. The fam
lily and friends will be drawn to it as
if by a magnet, and the delights of an
agreeable home will be appreciated.
The home will be thought Of as one
where good taste and good feeling are
noticeable. These are nice things to
be stressed or broadcast" as well as
nice things to live with. Every home
maker can do the best possible with
what she has If she has a mind to,
and it is amazing what satisfactory re-
suits are obtainable, even when there
is little to work with.
Balance Maintained.
Look at affairs in their most favor
able light. There are always two
points of view. One shows things in
all their worst aspects, the other in
their best. Without being blind opti-
mists, keep the balance on the best
side. 1t will make you think hard
sometimes, but those thoughts in the
right direction will reveal methods of
dealing with problems that are wise,
and the "broadcaSting" will be cheer
full and wise. The influence will be
kindly if you see the best in those
about you. 1t is only when the best
is sought in others that they react to
show the best that is in them. This
stimulates faith in mankind, and of
all the influences that are most potent
and most desirable this stands first.
The alchemy of the highest home in
fluence has faith as its chief ingredi-

ing. If we probe further into the sig
MITIGATION we find that occult is de-
fined as secret, unknown, and so we
may interpret the alchemy of home
influence as the secret chemical power
that is unseen, yet felt, and which
compels respect. Since it is mixing
and combining of chemicals that bring
about changes that are incomprehensi'
BILE in their magnitude. so we find that
it is the mingling and combining of
the thoughts and the actions of the
members of a family and the latent
moral and spiritual elements in the
characters of them especially of the
mother and father that unite to Gre
ate a far-reaching force in the world.
Center Of Force.
The home is but the center OF this
force. which may extend to the far
corners of the earth. For wherever
one of the family goes he carries with
him in his character the results of the
home Influence. And whoever has
been in the home, or even come in
contact with any of the family, feels
the secret power and is more or less
in opinions. thoughts or ac-
tions. The alchemy of home influence
is thus ever continuing its work.
