That Silly Grin.

Jimmie was playing in the yard. He
had been digging for a while. Now he
stopped and began throwing the piled
soil about the yard. 1t was his way Of
stretching the muscles that were feel
ing the cramp Of the fatigue that dig
ging had brought.
Jimmie, you stop that" A strong
voice that, with anger in it.
Jimmie stopped, looked toward the
voice, and foolish grin spread over his
face.
"You come here. Come right here"
The voice was louder and the anger
fiercer
Jimmie backed against the fence and
the grin spread.
IN teach you to grin at me when
call you. Take that. and that" And
the big woman struck the little child
again and again across the face with
her open hand. The child'S head struck
the fence each time the hand landed,
and he sank TO the ground, sobbing as
though his heart would burst
"Oh, yes, you can cry now. The
neighborS are looking. But you are not
going to grin at me when tell you to
do something. Throwing dirt all over
this yardl When your father comes
home he'll fix you'
It is too bad that person with such
a habit of thought should have any
power over a child. There are still
enough of them abroad in the land to
make societies for the prevention OF
cruelty to children necessary. Perhaps
though, we might teach some of the
younger generation, who will some day
be mothers and fathers and teachers
that it is inhuman to frighten child
and monstrous to strike him in the
face with the full force of ones open
hand. Perhaps we can teach them
that such conduct is beyond the pale

Youth in a Hurry.

Among the few advantages which
men enjoy over women these days is
the following sort of face treament,
favorite of barber shops. I am recon-
mending it now, because it will bring
youth back to your face when you are
so tired you look haggard and old, and
because 1t is simple to do, and quick.
It has no permanent advantage, ex-
cept that it gives the skin an extra
thorough cleansing. In fact, it's a
sort of Turkish bath for the face only.
Take two small Turkish towels, or
one old one which you have cut in
half, since the pads you make Of them
must not be too large. Fold them
into pads of four or six thicknesses,
long enough so that when they are
held around the chin they come UP
over each side of the face, and wide
enough so they cover the face when
held over 1t.
Fill your wash basin with very hot
water. Wiring one towel out of 1t. Hold
over the face while the other towel
soaks. Keep on changing hot wet
towels, using new one as soon as
the old one cools. After about six
changes, when the face will be quite
red and the pores well open from the
heat, spread on a little thick cold
cream. In q minute you'll see why I
do not want the very thin cleansing
cream used. Massage gently with the
fingertips for minute only.
Then repeat the hot towel COM
presses. Gradually the towels take of

Winning bridge is based on balance
bidding. This applies equally to con-
tract and to auction bridge. Contract
is a new variation of the older form,
the chief difference being that game
cannot be scored unless game De olo'
The play of the hands is the same,
the scoring is higher. .
Balanced bidding is based on the in
trinsic value of the high cards. An ace
is worth one quick trick a king Is one
half a quick trick. Holding two honors
in sequence, the lower takes the value
of the higher-thus ace-klng Is Two
quick tricks, king queen one quick trlck.
In combinations, ce-queen- JACK Is Is
worth two quick tricks, king queen JACK
or ace-uueen-10, one and one-half
quick tricks.
Every opening bid is definite infor-
nation given to your partner. IL Is as
If you leant across the table and SAID,
Partner, may hand contains two ana
one-half quick tricks. I guarantee to
take two or three tricks with my cards
If we are playing defensively against
the opponents bid, or five tricks II the
hand is played Extensively, with either
you or me as declarer. What have you
got? How do our combined rs caros
f1t?" For bridge is game OF 70 caroS,
not 10.
The object of bidding 'is to find the
bid best suited to those 26 CARDS. l
often think it is as if you went to
restaurant with a friend. shall we
start with some soup?" mo, don't
care much for SOUP" you reply, now
about oysters?" And you finally both
agree on hors d'ouvres. Bidding is just
that-finding the suit on which you
both agree.
The requirement for bid OF one
in a major suit-spades or hearts-ls
two and one-half, three Or three and
at least one of these quick tricks IN the
five-card suit that is bid. Eighty per
cent of all suit bids come in this
category. This is classified in the card
insert as "a" "B" and &c" are the
so-callled compensated bids. In the
first of these the suit contains but four
cards, therefore this shortage must be
compensated fors by greater strength
in the suit itself and greater strength IN
the hand. A four-card major suit must
contain a minimum of one and one
quarter quick tricks; that is, 1t must be
headed by top cards as good as ace
queen, ace-Jack-10 or king-queen-1O,
the three combinations that are worth
one and quarter quick tricks. In
the second compensated bid, &C." the
suit itself is weak 1t lacks the quick
trick. This weakness in the suit must
be offset by greater strength through
out the hand. In both the compensated
bids the hand contains three quick
tricks. You offer this greater than
expected strength to your partner as
an apology for the weakness in the suit
you have bid.
In auction bridge there is a saying,
"There is no such thing as two bio"
In contract the need for two bid
was quickly realized. How else were
the hands, strong in top cards, but
without suit length, to be shown? A
bid of two indicates four quick tricks,
probable trump length of but five cards,
strong outside cards. The type of hand
that will often be played as successfully
at no trumps as at the suit declared.
