Sleep Walking.

MY daughter. 10 years old. scared US last
night By walking in her sleep. She didn't
walk very far and did herself no harm, put
to have your only daughter walk into your
bedroom at night with staring eyes and
lost expression is shock for 2 mother co wn1

other children. both boys. and younger, ana

m M i'~ - : ANXIOUS MOTHER.
What this mother is anxious to know
is whether this tendency to walking In
sleep is apt to grow, whether you can
prevent it. whether 1t is danger sign
of other nervous trouble ahead, ana
other practical questions. She Is not
interested (and properly so), as psy-
biologists are, in the nature OF SOM
nambulism, but In protecting the health
of her daughter.
Now it may be that some one has
studied sleepwalking from this point
of view and has the facts to answer
these queries; I have been anie 70
find very little on the subject.
There are, however, cases enough to
show that sleepwalking may be just
an episode, but that at times 1t becomes
a habit. There are even cases in which
the sleepwalker, aware of the tendency,
locked the door and hid the key; but
the sleepwalking self found the keys
and let herself out. There are stories
of sleepwalkerS, who, under the same
circumstances, dropped the key in a
basin of cold water, counting on the
shock to the hands to wake them up
Among cases that have observed
Is that Of q young girl who kept house
for her father while the mother was
away on visit, and who after wash
ing the dishes late at night to have all
in good order for her mothers return
the next day was found by her father
washing those same dishes again In her
sleep. That was about the only COM
plete bit Of sleepwalking that she could
recall, though she had some evidence
that she had other lighter attacks.
I have another case in which the
get up and light the lamp ian oil lamp
in a farmhouse). AS 1t was known
that she often talked in her sleep, no
attention was paid to it. So the SOM
nambulist got up and lit the lamp her
self, went back to bed and to sleep,
quite unconscious of the whole episode.
We know that sleepwalking is acting
out dream, and there are many cases
In which the dream actor goes through
the whole scene, but without leaving
the bed. The sleepwalker has something
on her mind and in obeying that quest
gets control of the walking muscles
and goes on her errand, but without
awaking. say 'her" advisedly, because
the sleepwalker is almost always a
young girl.
The symptom is a sign OF hysteria
and indicates tendency to trance or
lapse of consciousness. It Is only when
these attacks are frequent and of long
duration that they threaten mental
health: most sleepwalkers lose the habit
as they reach years of maturity. SO !
add case of a woman in perfect health,
the mother of two children equally ro-
bust, who after 20 years of such incl
dents still walks a little now and then.
She laughs about it; so does her hus-
band.
On the whole, we don't know as
much as we should about this tendency

BRIDGE TALKS
NJ MRS. JOHN MUNCE. IN.
ONLY Initial Suit Bid Of Two.

only 4mltiaI suit DID 0k IW0s
There Is only one holding which jisti-
fies an initial suit bid Of two, according
to the agreement reached among ex-
perts after years Of experimenting. It
Is this: II you hold six Of . suit, any
suit. headed by the ace. king and queen.
and not another trick in your hand, you
should bid two. thereby saying to your
partner, II have six carsd or more Of
this suit, headed by the ace. king, queen
and not another trick-taking card In
my hand" This bid Is made for the
definite purpose Of giving your partner
specific information. To illustrate, hold
ing the following cards, you would bid
two initially:
Spades. ace. tinE. queen. s-spot. 7-spot
Hearts. .s-spot and s-spot.
Diamonds .n a,spo pot c,sDo d. and s-spos.
Now to pass on to the initial bids Of
more than two, these bids are called
pre-emptive bids, which is bid higher
than necessary and is made with the
idea Of shutting out an adverse bid
| The bidder making q pre-emptive bid
has good reason to believe that he will
win the game If the suit named by
him is the trump.
"A real pre-emptive hand contains an
| unusual distribution Of cards and one
which requires but little help from the
partner. The large majority Of pre-
emptive bids should be made only In q
major suit, and then only when weak
and short in the other major suit. A
safe rule for beginners Is this: Don't
/ tn sra0f r.ss cffff ~ hr1d
three cards of the other major suit in
your hand" The three cards would
be normal support for your partner Il
he should have strength in the other
major suit and not three cards Of the
suit you have bid. The following are
| illustrations Of when to pre-empt:
Dealer holds:
5-spot and 3-spot.
Diamonds. Jack and lo-spot..
Clubs. king, queen, jack and 10-spot.
Here you have pre-emptiye hand
LookiI1 at it carefully, you VIII see that
| it contains none of the other major
suit, and you would therefore bid three
| spades.
The following hand illustrates when
a pre-emptive bid is not justified
though it Is very similar to the previous
one in high cards held. Dealer holds
the following:
Spades, ace, king, queen. s-spot. 7-spot
Hearts. king. io-spot, e-spot and 4-spot.
Diamonds, none.
Clubs, ace, king and queen.
| You will note that in this hand, while
very strong in spades, you hold
| four of the other major suit, and II
may be advantageous for your partner
to bid hearts. supposing he has none
| Of your suit or less than normal sup
port and q heart bid In his hand
Therefore, you would bid only one
initially with this holding. A pre-emp-
tive bid Is positive. 1t Is not timid
bid.
Whenever you pre-empt in minoi
| suit be prepared to bid four or five
| The following hand Is an example OF
where you would bid four clubs initially
or, In other words, make pre-emptive
bid. Dealer holds:
Spades, queen. 7-spot and 5-spot.
Hearts, 3-spot.
Diamonds, ace.
/ Clubs, ace, king, queen, jack, e-spot, 6-spot,
| 4-Spot and 2-SpOt.

SPRINGTIME
BY D. 9. PEATTIE.

Ask your friends what 1t Is that
makes the sap rise (for that, Of course,
is the secret of the, Spring.. You viii
not bear the answer. this year or the
next, think. But you Will learn much
about your friends. The people who
call themselves practical simply say:
what difference does 1t make2 Spring
comes on, sap rises, whether you know
how it does it or not A poetic soul
may reply in an injured way that you
are trying to rob Nature Of her charm,
by stripping away her mystery.
But I have noticed tfis--that before
science dawned on the modern world
there were but few Nature lovers. st.
Francis was called the first modern, be-
cause he climbed hill to look at a
view. Practical people took no time to
look at views. Poets wrote only OF hui
man passions; painters never painted
landscapes, and never gave landscapes
anything but subordinate place In
their canvaSes. Wildfiowers were vile,
unuseful weeds" Hares and little foxes
existed to be harried down and MUIR
dered for sport: cruel falcons were
loved, and little larks were hunted.
Virgil thought the ocean q dismal place.
full of monsters; the King OF Portugal,
a QTdCtlCdl HAL, 4C1OSC0 W A1CAP w.
lumbus. It was q man who understood
the mariners company and believed the
world was round that made the ocean
safe for sailors and poets.
And so, each year, the sap. far heavier
than water, rises In the trees, a hundred
feet, in defiance of gravity, bringing
green beauty to tipmost branches-and
still the practical people do not have
enough curiosity to want to know how
this can be so. The poets are angry
that you strip the mystery from Ma
| lures body.
| Does it strike no practical person as
! important to know why the maple sugar
gatherers tap their trees in February,
when the ground is still frozen six
inches deep on Vermont hills and water
pipes are bursting? Does it strike no
poet as beautiful that today, as you
| walk down city street, so feet over
head the elms are beginning to show a
greeny gold, while the lawns are still
dingy on the ground? Neither osmotic
pressure in the roots, nor capillarity in
the stems, nor both together. can, ac-
cording to the laws Of physics, lift a
column of water to the top of Sequoia
gieantea. But this predict-that when
| science has found out how this may be,
poets will suddenly discover how beau
tiful is sap.

The cocktail jacket was 50 named, I
suppose. because It was convenient to
wear before dinner. when in Paris and
London - sometimes elsewhere - cock
tails are dispensed. And the casino
Jacket is SO named because 1t is o con-
venient little wrap to wear over q
sleeveless gown in the Casino at Monte
Carlo and other French resorts. But to
Americans who neither drink cocktails
nor frequent casinos 1t has still many
advantages.
The sketch shows one Of Premet's
new casino ensembles made with a
white sleeveless blouse with a long,
sleeved jacket of the same soft black
lace used for the frock. In some of the
shops here one may buy separate lace
Jackets Of this sort, sometimes of lace
combined with chiffon, which may ef-
fectively be combined with frocks made
of chiffon to match.
