bid. For that reason, assume that the dealer has opened with two diamonds in order to illustrate the correct response under the forcing system; east and west continue to pass.
 Note first that North, the deaI- er has at least five high cara tricks, and that these five tricks are distributed in at least three ment of five high card tricks should seldom be shaded. If however, the distribution were 66-1-O; 5-5-2-O or similar freak distributions, the high card re- quirement may be slightly dimtn- ished.
 Since North's original two dia- mond bid is a forcing bid. South must respond with bid of two no trump as he does not nave minimum trump support (Q-x-x or x-x-x-x) and has no takeout in any other suit which is biddable. In order to give partner one raise in his suit, South must also have two supporting tricks; one of these must be in the trump suit as noted above. and the other trick must be an honor trick.
 Holding no adequate trump support, but having nye caru suit headed by at least a king and an added half trick on the side the responding hand should show that suit: but regardless of strength in e.cess of the amount required to take out 1t is rarely necessary to fsmp the bid. as the original bidder must now keep the bidding open un- tii a game contract has been. reach ed. Te-morrow I shall assume the opening bid in the above hand to have been two hearts.

YOUR CHILDREN.

We all think that we are truth full, but oh, those little gray lies.
 I believe the small lie, necessary as it seems sometimes to save peo- ple's feelings, or our own, is the grandfather of those whoppers the children sometimes tell. For how are they to know the difference?
 Children do not develop sense of Judgement until they are well along in years. It is amazing how unsophisticated 15-year-old boy or girl is who has been taught frank ness. How often he or she shames stark truth. Later on they get that sixth sense of "finesse,' let us call il, that learns the saving lie," or the slight equivocation that we have assumed is so forgivable.
 There's No ''In-bctwcen"
 The very fact that children are so direct makes the social lie we use more of a menace. Black is black and white is white to them; SC what are we to do?
 Aunt Hester is coming for a visit. She is fussy old person who makes everyone's life miserable from the moment she enters the door until she leaves. Bob and Betty know what a trouble cranky old Aunt Hester is to their parents.
 Comes the day and Aunt Hester. Mother kisses her and says she is very glad to see her. So does father. Mother listens sympathetic ally at the dinner table while she tells all about her rheumatism and how she can't make her bed any more. or do her own Carning, how she has to have certain dainty | nd hnrIUhf water. Aunt Hester suddenly chal- lenges them over her glasses and says sharply, 'I'll bet you wish, l hadn't come. No one Is ever glad to see me. I'm lonely old wo- man."
 Then mother hastens to protest. Tn five minutes she tells as many white lies. The children look at each other queerly. If they had it to do, the look says, they'd tell her where to get off. They know she will run the legs off mother.
 How Fibs Take Root
 Multiply Aunt Hester by dozen circumstances. The cheeky sales man who has called up there eight times this week to insist that they need an electric fy-eliminator. Mother has the family say she isn't in because she has used up her time. her patience and every other excuse.
 Bob and Betty go out. Bob hasn't his nightwork done. 1T was sick last night" he says to the teacher. Betty gets ink on her dress. "The boy across the aisle threw it,'' she explains.
 Haven't they right to save themselves, too? Mother fibs all the time when she thinks it best. Often they tell some of the Aunt Hester Abs too with motives that are less selfish. What are we to do? We cannot preach one credo and practice another.
 I am sorry, but cannot suggest except to eliminate all fibs of all kinds as much as possible from home life.

NANCY PAGE A Three -Year-Old's Menu Should Remain Simple
 By Florence La Ganke.

Nancy was coming back from her bi-weekly trip to the doctors office when she heard loud screams com ing from her house. She hurried m to see what was the trouble. Joan has spent her weeks allowance for freshly buttered popped corn. She had come home with it and had laid it down near her cousin Peter. He made one dive for it as soon as her back was turned and started gob- bling it down. Joan knew that pop ped corn was no food for three-year- olds, so she was trying to wrest the box from Peter. But he had no in tention of giving it up. Fortunately Nancy reached there before an open battle started.
 She took the popped corn away quieted Peter by interesting him ir something else and sent Joan ou, of doors with her playmates to fin ish the popped corn.

But only the night be- fore Ted had been with Joan. and when he had looked at Joan there had been worship in his eyes. The sort of worship accorded something Infinitely lovely. Worship not comradeship.
 And for Sarah Ted seemed to have merely friendliness, warm friendliness, to be sure, but cer- tainly not one that bordered on adoration.
 "Sarah is the kind of girl who would run down gypsy trail with him and scuff her shoes and scratch her nose and be happy do- ing 1t and so would he.

 Sue and Jack didn't stay very Hong. Sue was restless again, eager Ito go home. She walked to the window and looked into the night. 4 fragrance of something scented. faint land far, stole through a window.

 An opening bid of two indicates a hand extremely powerful in honor strength (about five honor tricks distributed in three suits). The ob- feet of such a two bid is to find out without risk pass whether partner has favorable trump support or an other suit bid. All suit two bids are forcing bids requiring partner to Keep the bidding open uncondi- tionally, the minimum denial being two no trump.
 The Bidding
 First round--North two diamonds forcing), South two no trump (still forcing).
 Second round-North three clubs (still forcing), South three diamonds (still forcing).
 Third round-North three hearts (still forcing), South four hearts. There is very little preference as to North's proper original two

As she sat quietly by when the storm was over she began to make out a list of foods which three year. olds should not have.
 Scratchy foods like popped corn. nuts and bran were taboo. So were fresh strawberries, fresh pineapple, tomatoes or cucumbers with salad dressing or vinegar.
 A child that old should not be having gravies, fruit cakes, spice cookies, ice cream with sauces and chopped nuts, pop or other soft drinks.
 Canned foods come under that classification because they contain irritating fiber. such as bran or popped corn because they are too complex and rich. for example grav- .ies and fruit cake: because they are so highly sweetened and seasoned that children lose their liking for the bland foods such as milk and cereal.

The knitted suit has become
an American classic, worn for
school, for business, by the busy
housewife, worn for sports.
And this year it has received
fresh fashion Importance and
impetus from the fact that
Paris has taken up knitted cos
tunes with fresh enthusiasm,
and now we are getting many
new ideas and color combina-
tions from the French.
Many New Types
Textures are softer, lovelier.
smarter, too. Knitted fabrics
are firm as if they we're woven,
but they retain that sponginess
and lightness that is so at
tractive in any knitted mate
rial. There are boucle knits,
ribbed or old-faShioned shaker"
effects, open or lacy meshes.
and many novelties that are
delightful and new. But moth
ing can quite take the place Of
the zephyr wool suit that is so
comfortable, and that is bet
ter this year for its dressmaker
linen, and details borrowed
from cloth suits and blouses.
Ribbed WaistIine
Zephyr wool wit a bit of
silk in it makes the suit
Sketched. 1t is available in
black and white with a thread
of red, or in q green and white
mixture. The stripes are used
both ways, which adds a bit Of
snap to the design. The blouse
is of white sheer jersey, notable
for the ribbed waist which may
be worn in or out of the skirt,
and for the scalloped revers,
Just like any silk blouse might
have.
This suit is priced mOder-
ately in a local store. If you
would like to know more about
It,, or you want any, other fall
fashion information, write Miss
