By E. V. Shepard

Some players require five and
one-half honor tricks, instead of
my own more rigid requirement
of five quick tricks, for an
opening bid of two clubs, but
usually the five and one-half
honor tricks are no stronger
than possibly not as strong
as) the five quick tricks. Some
players also require partner to
hold one and one-llaf honor
tricks for any response to two
clubs, except two diamonds; but
again : find my one quick trick
sufficient strength to make
another reply than two dia-
monds. Were I to wait until I
had one and one-half quick
tricks to show another suit
than diamonds, would expect
to lose golden opportunities to
reach our best make. The idea
that five and one-half honor
tricks in one hand, with one
and one-half honor tricks in the
other hand will enable partners
to obtain more slams, Is In my
opinion of small consequence
compared to the necessity of
agre ing as early as possible.
and as safely, upon a game
make. Good bidders will usually
smell out any possible slam
without the assisting hand hav-
ing to wait for more than one
quick trick to at once show a
biddable suit. Such minor de-
tails are more a matter for
local option than for any gen.
eral rules.
More important than any pre-
else number of quick tricks are
consideration of the number OF
strong suits helG and the prob
able tricks held. With three
biddable suits, like the three
hands next shown, five quick
tricks and seven probable tricks
are ample strength for making
an opening bid of two clubs.

MA-K-7-5 ~K.Q-J-6 6b3 = ~A-k.7-2
MK-Q-J.5 VK-Q-J-6 "a \A-K.7-2
In case of the next hand
shown there are only two bid
dable four-card suits, but there
is compensation in the fact
that 512 quick tricks are held.
A7-3 WA-K-S-5 &A-K-6-4 ~A-Q-9
With two biddable five-card
suits, provided the probable
tricks count al least nine,
there may be only three quick
tricks required for an opening
bid of 2-ClubS, as illustrated
in the next two hands.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About six months ago my
wife deserted our home, leaving
two older children and taking
our little son, aged 2, with her.
No attempt was made at con-
cealment. She left me a letter
saying she had gone with a
man she really loved. About a
month later a brakeman, a
friend of ours on the train
from Canada, brought me back
the child. She had put the
child in his arms as the train
pulled out and told him to re-
turn the boy to me. Happily,
the child was no worse for the
adventure. I didn't apply for
divorce Immediately, as I
didn't want to act in haste or
anger. Now I've a letter from
the man with whom she eloped.
He wants to send her back to
me and I doubt if it would be
wise to take her. She was
always flighty-too keen on
amusement. at the expense of
our children's welfare. What
do you think of our case?
E. F. j.
1t would be easier to forgive
her elopement than her sending
the child back in the care of a
brakeman. A woman deficient
in maternal instinct is a doubt
full influence in a home, even if
she is the mother. A bare out
line of your letter is all I am
able to print, but from some of
the facts given wonder if your
wife is really responsible for her
conduct. She seems morbid,
and I think a physician special.
izing in mental diseases should
be consulted. In the meantime,
please let me say that I think
you've been magnificent in the
way you've handled your domes-
tic tragedy. You've got those
three precious children to whom
you're devoted, and that's bet
ter than being alone in the
world. Please write to me again
and my best wishes to YOU.

circles the waist, and velvet

color. where it ties in a bow at
the side!
COwl and V.Shape
The draping of the cowl
neckline is smartly modified
though the softness of the folds
retains the flattering qualities
that make cowls so widely popu-
lar. In back, it goes into a
deep V, that's cut to within
several inches Of the waist.
You can have this dress in
almost any color-pink, blue,
green, peach, purple or black.
We were crazy about it in white
with a dash of brilliant green
for the velvet bow. And you'd
never guess how much this
dress costs. It's under $40,
too!
A Knockout for q Slim Girl
The designer must have had
slender young girls in mind
when he or she originated the
last dress, illustrated on the
right. For a stout or heavy
person would look a perfect
fright, wearing such an enor-
nous bow! But on a slim
young figure-it'S tremendously
chic!
A Big Crush
It's a most obvious example
of the new hustle effect that
we're hearing so much about,
and Patou is responsible for
this particular big idea. The
whole dress being made Of
faille taffeta, the bow cruShes
in the prettieSt crinkled effect.
And its quaint long streamers,
as you see, reach way down to
the hem.
Now be prepared for a shock
when it somes to the price Of
this dress. Only about $10.95.
You can choose it in any Of
the seasons smartest colors,
too! And won't it look too
stunning with a cunning short
evening wrap?

What usually happens in a
case of this sort is that driver
gets his car into the garage,
leaves the motor running until
he closes the garage doors.
When the garage is connected
with the house it happens in
cold weather that the driver will
elect to go into the house from
the garage rather than walk out
in the cold. When he closes the
garage doors the exhaust quickly
fills the garage with fumes, and
before he can turn off the en-

A Dangerous Stunt
Especially dangerous is it to
leave the engine running in Or
der to heat up the garage, or to
heat up the engine in the garage
before going out on a cold day.
If a victim is found uncon-

overcome by carbon monoxide
gas, the emergency treatment
consists in dragging him into
the air and giving artificial res

this is to place him face down,

after four hours work.
The testimony Of those who
have gone through this expe-

they were rendered unconscious

them said.
A Terrible Experience
The most horrible I ever
heard in this connection was
related in the news columns
last summer. A man was driv-
ing a closed car, with his
three little children in the
back seat. He had closed a
window between the drivers
seat and the the back. He hit
a rock in the road, which cut
a hole in the exhaust pipe and
in the bottom of the car, let
ting the exhaust gas into the
back part. Entirely unaware
Of this, he drove on until when
he came to a filling station
he discovered two Of the chill

der through the night
Cold winter rain, that mocks
my lonely mood
With slanting barriers that
shut out the light
Of moon and stars that would
have brought some share
Of comfort with their silver
loveliness:
But searching now I do not
find them there,
For grieving Night has donned
her sable dress.
Yet even from this, one bit
of hope I wrest-
From cold and StarleSs night,
from falling rain;
I hug one solace warmly to
my breast,
Forgetting now the angry
winds refrain.
This rain, which now obscures
heavens starry arch,
Will help earth quicken violets
IN March.
