Into this fruit nature has poured an
essence Of sunshine compounded subtly
on non-injurious fruit acids and vola-
tile oils that happily solve many beauty
problems. Lemon juice contains strong
bleaching and cleansing properties, and
it should always be diluted when used
on the hair, hands, face or neck.
Lemon Hair Rinse.
Probably the most popular and best
known use of the lemon as an aid to
beauty is the lemon hair rinse. After
washing the hair with liquid soap
shampoo and rinsing with clear water,
fill the washbowl with warm water and
add the strained juice of two lemons.
Rinse the hair thoroughly with the
lemon rinse. A final rinse in clear,

faster pace. All of US felt more in
clined to come out of our shells, to bid
more freely and to take chances. some
thing which we were quite reluctant
to do in the beginning of the week.
Behind Schedule.
We have fallen considerably behind
our schedule of an average of eight
rubbers per session and, therefore, we
shall also play tonight, in spite of the
fact that We originally intended to use
Saturdays for rest.
Our plus balance at the beginning of
last nights play was ,815 points.

West passed and l then showed nv
other suit by bidding four clubs. East
could not find another bid in her hand

No Necessity to Jump.
There was no necessity for him to
Jump the bid, as his three heart over
call was a definite command not to
stop short of game. bid five diamonds,
which was passed all around, although
Jacoby did SO with hesitancy.
His hand had very favorable dis
tribution, and if he had held two clubs
and one spade instead of two spades
and one club he would have been en-
titled to bid six diamonds. OF course
there was nothing to the play of the
hand as I could lose only two spade
tricks
In the second hand we set the Cul-
bertsons two tricks on a two-spade bid,
collecting 100 points. On the next
hand we bid three no-trump, Jacoby
playing the hand. He made four no.

The Marionettes
In The Rose and the Ring"
I OVERS of literature have always
chuckled over that inimitable
satire Of William Mskepeace Thack-

is safe to conclude, however that
the classic has rarely produced more
hilarity than when Tony Sargs
Marionettes interpret the piece on a
diminutiVe stage with unbelievably
human originality.
AS the lilliputian figures appear
on the stage, the illusion that they
were endowed with flesh and blood
faculties, became increasingly in
tenSified as the story progressed.
UnconscIouSly, one found sympsthies
stronger with this or that character,
and the applause which greeted the
performance of the Yeoman of the
Guard could not be more enthusi-
astic if inspired by the trained
chorus of a musical comedy
Naturally, chief credit for the
reality of the performance goes to
the actors behind the scenes, who
pull the strings. and speak the
clever lines which give life to the
puppets, and a generous share of
praise should be granted to Charles
Searle, under whose direction the
performance is given, as we'll as to
Rhys Williams, Elvira Jones, Elsie
Dvorak and David Pritchard, who
assist in the string pulling and
voice contributions.

duced with infinite attention TO
detail by Mr.. Sarg's puppets.

delightful figures of subtle and
clever satire.

it seems a shame, for instance. that

sound however, is primarily the
score which orchestras played
