The Beauty
Box

Laughter is the sun that
lights up the beauty scenery.
It shines and polisheS the eyes.
It strengthens the facial muscles,
keeps them strong; it is an ex-
ercise that is good for the soul
and the complexion. It helps
digestion, youthifies, slaves off
signs of advancing years. That
Mrs. Nature gave us the power
to smile and laugh, to find life
stimulating and joyous was one
Of her wise provisions.

Clean hair glistens, shines

it is necessary to use eggs to

Shopping

Yes, we're very much amiss!
Here we've been writing for
months about shopping-telling
you Of all sorts Of grand things
to buy-and until now we've
never suggested a whole cos
tune to go shopping in! Think
of it! So we went, and looked,
and found-the best complete
costume that's available today
from both a fashion and a
price standpoint! Just look at
it-and the whole thing costs
only a little over $50, alto
gether!
What Value for q Coat!
Well, let's start with the coat!
See it up above. We haven't
seen a more attractive model.
this season! It's made Of boucle.
like spongy wool, Of course, in
all the popular winter colors.
Notice how it follows the new
straighter silhouette, and closes
in the very latest manner with
buttons over at the side! And
look at that generous full collar
set off ingeniously to keep
from wearing! Though natur-
ally it can be drawn up close
when the weather'S cold. And
aren't these grand wide bands
of fur at the cuffs?
Lots Of FurS to Choose From
And now here's something
most amazing. You'll see we've
illustrated this coat twice above
with two different fur trim
mings. It comes not only with
two different furs but with five
kinds-Arabian lynx, caracul,
black lapin, French beaver, or
Vicuna fox! It's hard to tell ex-
actly just which of these fur
trimmings will be on hand when
you go to the store, for this
model is being bought like wild
fire.
But keep this list and you
can order any one you wish.
You'll surely want this coat If
you haven't bought one yet, or
even if you have-for it costs
under $50!
Contrast in Piping and
Scarf Lining
Under the same coat on the
second figure you'll see the
dress we found that was just
the thing for shopping! Shop
ping in for days without hav.
ing to press it too, for it's
made of a grand new light
weight wool that's almost wrin-
kleproof! We love the way
it's piped in a contrasting color.
The same shade is used to line
the little scarf that hangs so
neatly down the sides in front.
And the carved round buttons.
holding both the Surplice and
the cuffs closed also match
this contrasting trimming.
Staggeringly Low Price

with this dress in brown with

THAT is a thing that ought to

For q moment Willy gazes
deliciously into Mariechen's
eyes. Eyes, he's a wonderful
fellow!" he assures her. Then
he mods across at Tjaden.
"Just come outside with me a
moment"
Tjaden rises obviously. But
Willy means no harm. A few
minutes later and the two reap

down to Mariechen. We'll, so

Mariechen, astoniShed.
Perhaps he'll tell you about
that, too, some day." grins Willy.
With sigh of relief 'Tjaden
now steams out with his lady.
"You see, they're slaughtering
tomorrow" says Willy. But no
body is listening. We have had
to control ourselves too long
already, and we burst into
shrieks of laughter, whlnnylng
like a stableful of starved
horses. Kosole almost makes
himself sick, he shakes so. It
is long before Willy can tell us
what a very advantageous con-
tract he has been able to make
with Tjaden for a steady sup
ply Of horse sausage. 1--WE got

my hand" he grins.

BY E. V. Shepard

Avoid making lntormatory
doubles on a two-suiter; your
partner expects you to hold at
least two quick tricks and
strength in at least three suits.
More often than not the dou-
bler's weak suit is the one dou-
bled, but sometimes he doubles
with considerable strength in
the adverse suit and weakness
in one other suit, intending to
support partners response in
either of two unbid suits, or to
shift to no-trumps in case part
ner's response happens to be
in the doubler's weakest suit.
When considering making an
informatory double remember
that you must supply all tricks
more than three required to
fulfill the contract into which
you force your partner.
To double 1-Club or Ida
mond you must count not less
than 4 assisting tricks (aside
from trump length or ability to
ruff; if needed to raise partner
you may later on count those
two features for added values).
The next hand shows a holding
justifying an informatory dou-
BILE Of 1-Club.
K-8.6-2 v K-J-7-3 49, A-10-8-5
Full informatory doubling
values for 1-Spade. Heart, of
1-No Trump at your right are
two sure tricks and five assist
ing tricks. The three probable
tricks for which you give part
ner credit will just enable you
to fulfill his response Of two.
Double Heart on the first
hand shown below: double l.
No Trump at your right with
the second hand shown: you
may as well bid 1-No Trump
over Heart as to double, but
an informatory double of l.
Spade is preferable to an i'm.
mediate 1-No Trump. You will
note that hearts probably are
stopped twice, but you can stop
spades only once, hence the
difference in procedure advised.
AK-Q-J-5 vs. JHK-1O-7-4 >A-J-7-6
4 A-7-3 y Q-J-9-6 = K-10-8 = ABA
Your partner will make the
opening lead of his best suit
against a no-trump bid at your
left. In case you hold some
thing in the way Of support for
any lead he may make, why
force him to bid against a dec
laration that can not go game?
Why not collect a. small pen
atty in case your hands fit,
rather than afford your ad-
versary an opportunity to es-
cape into some other make?
OF course you should bid
against a no-trump at your left
in case a fulfilled contract will
