How women used to suffer to
be smart! Billowing wigs
strained graceful necks, wasp
waists made breathing difficult
and relaxing totally impossible,
and high-laced boots bound feet
up almost like a Chinese in
fant's! Then, few years ago,
the pendulum swung over to
the casual comfort of boyish
clothes. Today, though, we've
gone back again to clothes Of
old-time charm, we have the
ease and comfort that modern
busy women can't get on with
out. And active women on the
60 all day, outside or in the
house, feel more than ever that
feet come above everything else
in comfort Importance. (Hoof-
ing it around all day, the way
we do, we certainly can heartily
agree.)
One-Strap With a Built Up Heel
The one-strap model way over
at the left is made of suede,
with calf appliqed at heel and
toe and all around the edge.
Perforations on the calf ap-
plique further the tailored ef-
feet. The built-up leather heel
makes it look. all set for lots Of
walking. And what q pleasure

1t will be with the shank rein
forced to give increased sup
port! What a pleasure, too, to
pay So, or about that, for a
shoe that has so many assets.
SOIes Like Footprints
Next to it is another one
strap of q more formal type,
yet with a covered heel. It's
made Of either kid or patent
leather, with reptile appliqued
around the smart cut-out at the
base Of the strap.
Though the shoe is absolutely
brand-new, it's already broken
in! The sole is so constructed
that it follows the natural lines
of the foot, as if it had been
moulded out of clay! And
$3.50 is about the price we'll
have to pay.
Perforated Alligator and Suede,
The lady in the illustration is
trying on an oxford that has
exactly the same kind of sole.
This shoe is made Of brown
suede with matching alligator
trimming the heel and toe. Here
perforations are used again,
both on the alligator and on the
suede part. The built-up leather
heel gives 1t quite an informal
air. If you feel you need more
support than q one-strap can af-

there ordinarily occurs q dupn-
cation Of values, or a misfit Of
holdings, that causes estimated
tricks to exceed those won in
actual play.
Y knew this, so he did not
jump his partners bid to
6-Spades, as his 8 probable
tricks might suggest; he jumped
the declaration to 5-Spades,
thereby saying: Partner, even
minimum bidding strength in
your hand should give us 5-odd,
perhaps 6-odd. If you hold a
single probable trick in excess
of bare opening bid require
ments bid 8-Spades; pass in
case you have declared upon
minimum values"
OF course 2 had made a very
weak opening bid and he had
to pass, but had the missing
king of hearts been held by A
a small slam could have been
made. On the other hand, had
B held the missing king Of
diamonds only 4-odd could
have been won.
An Important Principle
The principle Of at once show
ing full assisting strength is i'm.
portant. If you have a timid
partner and raise his opening
bid of Heart only once upon
5 assisting tricks, when he also
holds 5 probable tricks, you may
lose game because he does not
advance the declaration one
trick, thus allowing you to bid
game. But if you at once jump
partner to 3-HeartS on your 5
tricks, probably even a timid
partner will venture to bid
game upon his own 5 tricks.

With Shoes

ford, here's an oxford that will
answer the need of a shoe for
everyday wear. The price is
about $40, and it's one OF the
best-looking ones we've seen.
A Colonial Pump Is Comfortable
And women can be perfectly
comfortable in pumps, you
know. The Colonial type over
on the extreme right is one Of
fashions very latest. It's
Step-in model, and. therefore,
gives more support than an
opera, and, besides, it's ever so
much newer. The covered buckle
might be alternated with cut
steel for more formal occasions.
In kind or patent leather, the
price is just around Sc. And 1t
comes in sizes to fit any foot
no matter how wide or narrow,
long or short, or unusual the
shape. And we feel that it's Of
the utmost Importance to make
sure that shoes exactly fit in
this quest for comfort in the
feet.

Peter took me through the

1t was only partly furnished.
We sat out on his sun porch
and I tried to thank him.
Come here:" he said, from
the depths of a big chair.
I went over to him and he

We were married the next
day.
That was a year ago. An
other spring is here. The house
is beautifully furnished, the
garden full of flowers and my
heart full Of happiness.

me on the swinging hammock

Anything you say, Katie,

the furniture was all right, but

to get up.
