A nervous trembling had seized

down upon her. Scorching her.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I am about to take advan-
tage of the excellent tact and
understanding which you show
in your suggestions published
in answers to inquiries.
Although no more proficient
in bridge than most of the
other members of a friendly
club to which I belong, I
have had a persistent run of
luck this year, winning a prize
in five out of eight meetings.
Should continue to accept
prizes if my luck continues?
OF course I am delighted
with each of the prizes. It
seems to me rather unappre.
ciative toward the hostess who
presents the prize to give it
away again. To refuse to ac-
cept more prizes also seems
to me to Cbe affecting a rather
superior and condescending at
titude, which I would resent
in anyone else.
On the other hand, it has
become an embarrassing Situa-
ton, inasmuch as I feel more
piggiSh every time. I have
thought Of making deliberate
mistakes when it appears as if
am in for it again, but this
does not seem fair to my part
ner. What would you do?
