Is Woman Tender. Hearted ?

You may think this is the craziest
question in the world, for woman ap-
pears to be the very symbol of tender
ness and the model of all mercy. But
that isn't saying that she doesn't have
her heart under control.
Woman may want to shed tenderness
the way a flower does its fragrance,
hut her heart has its silent reservations.
| If there's suffering, she's right there
with the warm heart and hot-water bag.
But under normal conditions woman
saves her sympathy for somebody.
Something in the life of all woman
kind has taught the individual woman
that it won't pay to expend any too
| much sympathy upon her sisters or the
sex. Children come in for their share
of her compassion, but woman does not
waste tears on another female OF the
species.
for man. He may not need or desire
it half as much as the suffering sister,
but still It's natural for woman to let
her heart go out toward the opposite sex.
| You see, girls, we're placed in po-
sition where we have to be in competi-
ton for the male members of the
| human bunch. It's a horrid idea, /
know, but we've been taught to grab
the man as husband, just as though
| he were the brass ring in the merry-go-
round. We can't have the other girl
butting in when we're getting set for the
eligible man.
When you 60 to the department store
on bargain day, you don't find the
| other woman stepping aside so that
you can grab the half-price hosiery.
do you?
Well, it's the same on the marriage
| counter. There are just so many OF
these possible bubbles, and we can't
afford to be sweet and unself1sh when
marriage is in sight. We've got to put
| the brakes on our natural sympathy
and give the other girl the cold shoulder.
Women are quick to believe ugly
things that are said about the mem
bers of their sex. Then they are just
as slow when it comes to forgiving one
of the sex for some bit of ''turpitude."
Do you suppose that men are like
that? No, they are likely to excuse
the other mans faults, and II it's pos
sible, they lie for him and say that it
isn't so.
We are naturally tended hearted. but
we just can't afford to waste our valu-
able feelings upon our matrimonial
| rivals.
Business may change all this, for It Is
| making husbands less and less r 9
| sary. AS soon as we have a Ii
money in the purse, or stocking, we CO;
| afford to have more tenderness in ou-
| hearts.

cabinet of his predecessor and tried to

visit to the White House during the

I'VE entered large hall and, hav-

the ground floor, as divers other gen.

their hands in their pockets) were doing
very leisurely.
I'VE looked into chamber fitted all
round with a great bare wooden desk
or counter, wherein lay files of news
papers, to which surdry gentlemen were
referring There were some Is or 20
persons in the room. One, tall, wiry,
muscular old man, from the West, sun
burned and swarthy, with a hat on his
knees and a giant umbrella resting be-
tween his legs. He sat bolt upright In
his chair, frowning steadily at the car

his mouth, as If he had made up his
mind to fix the President on what he
had to say.

How to Play Contract Bridge

The offensive play of the hands in
contract bridge is the same as in auc-
ton bridge, with the one exception
in contract bridge you play first for
the contract, then for additional tricks.
In auction bridge you play for game,
regardless of the contract.
The defensive play of the hands varies
likewise in this one point; Defensively
in contract you are playing to defeat
the contract. in auction to defeat a
possible game. In every other respect.
once the bidding is over, the play OF
the cards is the same.
In this last of my series of contract
lessons am going to stress some points
of play. Those of us who have been
playing bridge for years were brought
UP on the old story of the babies who
were walking barefoot on the streets
of London because their mothers didn't
lead trumps. Recent study of the game
tends to show that this old admonition,
"lead trumps at once is not infallible.
/ had the opportunity to hear Mr..
Work last week when he spoke here. He
said: eff table Of bridge were being
played at the far corner Of a room-So
distant that could not see card held
nor hear bid made-still in a very
few minutes could tell whether those
were four good players or four poor
players. If after dummy were spread
on the table, the declarer, without
moments pause, played a card from
dummy-that is poor player. II the
declarer. after the dummy cards go
down, stop. look and plan-that is
good player"
Plan your play. There lies the secret
of good bridge. After the opening lead
and the rs cards of the two combined
hands are before you, decide how you
will play those 26 cards. First let
us say the contract is no trumps. Count
your winning tricks Your winners are
only those which are sure winners be-
fore you play your stopper or shoppers
in the opponents long suit. II your
sure winners are short of your con-
tract, then take any reasonable chance
to bring your winners up to the re-
CURED number.
The first and most usual probability
lies in establishing the longest suit In
the combined hands. Length Is
strength in no trumps.
Hold control of opponents suit until
the third round. Why? Leaders part
ner may hold no more cards of suit to
return when in the lead, and leader
may hold no side card OF re-entry.
When one round of suit must be
lost, lose the first. Why? This gives
you a re-entry in the suit itself, and
keeps control Of the suit.
Holding three touching honors divid-
ed between the two hands, play an hon

A Sermon for Today
BY REV, JOHN r. QUINN.
Lies Hills.

Text: "The land, whittier We go in to
possess it, is a land of hills. -Deut.,
Kill.
Thus Moses describes to the children
of Israel the land of Canaan, the prom
ised land, into which they were about
to enter to possess it. 1t was a land
flowing with milk and honey" as it
had long been pictured to them; but 1t
was also "a land of hills"
So it may be said of life. It, too, is
land of promise pictured to us as a
land flowing with milk and honey; but
let it be known to all who would pos
sess it that it is also a land of hills.
Yes, life is very much hill country.
1t has some valleys-valleys of delight,
! valleys of pleasure. valleys where the
going is easy. But wherever you go
in to possess it," there will be hills TO
climb, mountains to scale.
How fortunate 1t is ~that we have
these hills to climb! If life were all
valleys and no mountains, it would be
a pretty fiat, monotonous thing. We
would soon tire of its easy-going ways,
If 1t never presented any rugged and
difficult sleeps to challenge US. Be-
sides. valleys are never fully appreci-
ated until viewed from the mountain
top. Not until we climb some of life'S
hills and attain the hilltop view do we
ever come to appreciate fully its flower
covered and restful valleys. To possess
life's promised land with its flowing
milk and honey we must possess its
hills also.
What about the hill you are trying to
make? Steep? Hard pulling? Seems
a long climb? Never mind Every hill
has top. There is a top to yours.

or from the two-honor hand first.
Why? BY keeping an honor in either
hand, you keep your suit balanced.
Lose to the preferred adversary-and
of course, the preferred adversary is
the opponent who does not hold the
long established suit.
When playing a suit contract, once
again stop, look and plan. Count your
losers, first in the trump suit and then
in the side suits. Plan your play. Have
you secondary suit to establish, or
will you use Dummy's trumps for ruff
fling? With long side suit already es-
tablished, lead trumps at once, then
play the secondary suit. But how rarely
we have established second suit!
With an establishable side suit, estab-
lish suit first and then lead trumps
With no side suits to protect, try to
make separately the trumps held be-
tween your hand and Dummy. Lead
trumps only when your winning cards
may be trumped by the opponents.

Soon we won't have to worry about
the story at ALL Everything save the

bill would prohibit the drinking OF In
toxicating liquors. Actors who could
faint at the sight of bottle of cold tea
will welcome that one. Ginger ale,

trapped Oolong have been the liquid
diet of the studios these many years,
wild reports to the contrary.
Now and then famous director boil
sters up his powers of endurance with
carafe of Scotch on handy table,
but such scenes are in the minority
Hard work is seldom done on alcohol
and Hollywood is no exceptio' in this
regard.
Since speeding would be cut out OF
films, the good old comedy chases, with
their weird cops and dizzy tempo, will
be no more if Senator Sims gets his

Maybe Senator Sims has had his I'LL

revenge. Splitting on the sidewalk Is
another violation of the law which
would have to be cut out of tomorrow's

have to go with it.
