MISS VIRGINIA BROWN
is CALLED BY DEATH

The sad news reached town late
yesterday telling of the passing OF
Miss Virginia Brown at 4:3O in the
afternoon in st. Vincent's hospital in
Billings. Miss Brown was taken to
Billings Sunday, in the hopes of if
benefltting her, but the Angel of
Death was lowering near and little
could be done for her. Mrs. Matte
Brown, her mother, went to Billings
with her daughter, and was at the
bedside during the last moments of
life.
Miss Brown was one of the most
popular ladies of Red Lodge and for
the past eight or ten years had been
an instructor in the Red Lodge public
schools, as has been her mother for
the past eighteen years. She was
porn IN California about 35 years ago
and later lived in Missouri before
coming to Red Lodge eighteen years
ago. Her father passed on when she
was but a small child and she is sur
'lved by her mother and a brother
Bard Brown, who is acting vice-presi-
lent of the Locomotive Super-Heater
company of New York City. 1t is
doubtful if he can attend the funeral
Which will be held in Hollywood, |

MISS Brown has been in failing
ealth for some time. Last summer
he went to Battle Creek, Mich, where
ne spent some time in sanitarium
hopes of getting back her health.

solved are ID by cutting out Of the
straight hair, or (2) using 1t as foun-
dation knot over which the upper layers
of waved hair may be arranged in a
number of different ways. When mi
lady's neck is rather thick and short a
French twist will give pretty effect
over the foundation knot.
Large masses Of hair are difficult to
handle, so that the hairdresser usually
divides milady's hair into several sec
tons with foundation knot under
meath comprised of the lower strata of
back hair. The upper layers may be
divided into two equal strands twisted
and crossed over. When the hair is
quite long the ends may be pinned in
loops suggesting butterfly bow, but
If it Is short the ends are turned under
and pinned.
When the side hair is just long
enough to reach to the center of the
back, after being waved dressy effect
IS obtained by inserting two jeweled
hairpins about an inch behind each
ear. The ends of hair may then be
folded over at the back. If the back
hair is long it may be made into sew
eral round curls and allowed to hang
in cluster at the nape of the neck,
secured by round, jeweled barette to
match the ornamental hairpins.
Curls are always pretty for evening
coifures. They may be pinned over a
foundation coil, worn loose in a cluster,
or pinned fiat against the head as
sculpture curls. A dainty couture for

BRIDCETALKS
By MRS. JOHN MUNcE, IN.

Further discussing the doubles Of
the original one no-trump bid, we now
come to the fourth hand, and what the
fourth hand should do after dealer bids
one-no trump, second hand doubles and
third hand passes. If strong, fourth
hand should pass, this makes the
double a business double. If fourth
hand passes, confirming his partners
double, and the dealer holds a five-card
suit he will likely bid that suit; but If
his hand is so made up that it contains
only four or three card suits, he should
redouble, and his partner, not having
declared, cannot possibly take this as a
business double, and should, therefore.
bid his best suit, no matter how weak.
Or fourth hand, II strong, may bid two
no-trump, showing great general
strength; or he may bid two or more OF
his strongest suit.
When weak, fourth hand should never
pass a partners informatory double.
This is one of the greatest errors of
bridge. Always remember, the greater
the weakness, the more essential the
take out. The hands given below are
an example:
Dealer holds:
spsdes-Aes, jjssk and and e s!Sn;
Diamonds-9-spot. s-spot. 6-spot and 2
Ciubs-Ace, 7-spot and 4-spot.
Second hand holds:
spades-King. queen, 4:spot and 2.spot:
eufsesn spoe sRS sDos
Ciubs-Jack and 5-spot.
Third hand holds:
Spades-s-spot, 7-spot and S-spot.
Hearts-,7-spot. 6-spot, 3-spot and 2-spot.
CiubsUs-spot, 8-spot, 6-spot and 3-spot
Fourth hand holds:
Spades. 1O-spot. s;spot and 3-spot.
Diamonds. king. queen, Jack and 7-spot.
Clubs. king, queen, 1o-spot and 2-spot.
Dealer, as you will see, would bid
one-no trumpS Second hand, having
the requirements for a double, would
double, and third hand being bust"
would pass. The fourth hand. being
strong, may pass or bid two-no trump.
If passing, this would be called bust
ness pass.
When fourth hand holds an average
or weak hand and dealer has bid one
no trump, second hand doubles, third
hand passes, there is no question as
to what fourth hand should do. He

suit, preferably a major, if he holds
four of major suit, and four or five
of minor suit in the same hand.
The hand below is held by fourth
hand, dealer has bid one-no trump,
second hand has doubled and third
hand has passed. What would you bid?
Spades, e-spot, 7-spot, 5-spot and 3-spot.
Hearts, 5-spot, 4-spot and 2-spot.
Diamonds, king. queen and 4-Spot.
Clubs. king, 10-spot and 4-spot.
Two spades would be the bid, as
you have four, also several high cards.
To illustrate the necessity of taking
your partner out of double, no matter
how weak your hand, and again en-
phasizing "the greater the weakness,
the more essential the take-out," dealer
has bid one-no trump, second hand
doubles, third hand passes and fourth
hand holds the following cards:
Spades, 9-spot, 7-spot and 6-spot.
L. 6-SpOL, 5-spoJ ana 3-spot.
Diamonds, 9-spot, S-spot, 5-Spot and 3
spot.
clubs. 6-spot, 4-spot and 2-spot.
What should fourth hand bid? Two
diamonds. his only four-card suit.

Straight Talks to Women About Money

vance Of the final Matching, and regret
their haste.
It is wise to adjust your standard of
living to your expected rather than
your unexpected income. If you were
bit modest in your estimate, it will
be no trouble to raise your standard.
1t is lowering the standard that Is diff
f1cult and so painful.
This Is no move on our part to in
spire or encourage pessimism. Quite
to the contrary, optimism thrives best
when it is unworried. If your first
profits are safely put away, you will be
all the more bright with hope, and
laden with happy enthusiasm.
Until your first year of work is past
1t will be impracticable to work out
or to determine your probable income.
During your first, and possibly second
year, be conservative. Err on the side
Of the bank balance rather than on
the side Of high rentals, gasoline bills
and installment collectors. A mind and
spirit freed Of practical worries will
achieve permanent success more speed
lily and more happily.

know of woman who has just entered
the investment business. Her friends
favored her with a flock of "compli-
Ynentary orders" She is flushed with
what she thinks is success. Already
she. is assuming heavy obligations In
rent and installment payments.
That Is the sort of counting" to
beware of. There are many businesses,
outside of insurance and investments,
whose first returns are likely to be
richer than succeeding ones for some
length of time. It Is not wise to expect
success to come with rush. II it
comes apace, few viii grieve about the

If, perchance, you are wrong about
the pace at which you attain success, a
healthy bank balance will not cause
you to regret you did not spend the

The eyes of King Chilperic widened
when he first saw Fredegunda. This
peasant girl, from the vicinity of Mont
didier, In Picardy, was unbelieyably
beautiful.
who could have thought that beneath
her beauty she carried heart stepped
in villainy and crafty scheming mind?
Who could imagine that one so ignorant
could be SO ambitious?
Her beauty and her favor with the
King won her a position as lady In
waiting to Queen Andovere, wife Of
Chilperic, despite her low birth. But It
was a fatal day for the King when he
came to know her.
She soon had him so much enmeshed
in her charms that he repudiated
Andovere and banished her to a con-
vent.
He was not yet ready to marry a
peasant and doubtless the clever Frede-
gunda herself saw that more time must
pass before she could become Queen.
At any rate, she permitted Chiperic to
take as his second wife GalSuinthe,
daughter of the King Of the Visigoths.
Waiting decent length Of time, she had
Galsuinthe strangled in her bed. Soon
she was Chilperic's wife.
This summary disposal Of Galsuinthe
did not sit well in certain quarters.
There were family complications.
The ancient French kingdom founded
by Clovis (466-511 A. d. had, by the
time Of Chilperic (539-584), become
divided into three parts-Austrasia,
Neustria and Burgundy. Chilperic ruled
over Austrasia. It so happened that his
brother, Sigebert, was King of Neustria,
and that Sigebert's wife, Brunhilde, was
sister of Galsuinthe. Brunhilde nat
urally was upset by what had happened
to Galsuinthe. She persuaded Sigebert
to war on Chilperic.
This suited Fredegunda very well. At
the height of the campaign she ar
ranged for the ASA ssination of Sigebert,
leaving the Neustrians leaderleSs. They
succumbed to Chilperic.
