YOUR CHILDREN As. N @F N

Does there happen to be in the family one child that is very. very good and one that is very, very bad? Does it happen that Billy is as clean as new wheat, as polite as a salesman, as quiet and generous as a saint. while Jack is everything the reverse.
 We'll, now-let's look. First at Billy. Why is he so good? I think we will rob him of his halo for a little while and suspect him of the worst. Of course this probably is not your Billy, but I have known some like this. and anyway we are just supposing.
 Billy came into this world first. He had no rival in his parents af- fections. He had no sisters or broth CTS toward whom he had to develop any relations. His world consisted of three people, with himself in the center.
 The baby king could do no wrong. He grew for two or three years, alone, in complete atmosphere of self satisfaction. He just knew he was good. He needed to resort to no subterfuge to get attention and praise. It was there, his without earning.
 Then-thc Newcomer One day along came the pink bundle-that ominous package of fate that upsets the whole apple cart of an only child. I feel sorry for these poor little tykes who suddenly feel themselves out in the cold. but not all of them need too much sym pathy because, as in, Billy's case, some are instantly antagonistic and proceed to build around themselves a perfect network of defense. or rather, plan of attack.
 Being older they naturally are used as examples. Billy, we'll say, proceeded on his way much as be- to live up to. That was easy, .be- cause he had such an interesting inc centive. He wanted to be thought good so that little interloper would lose out beside him. He was quick to see that comparisons were odious. to brother Jack at least. and made the most of 1t. That part of 1t was great. He loved life better than ever.
 4 More Complex sphere.
 But Baby Jack came Into more 'compiicated world. There were four in his. he playing left center. The two endss were kind and loving, but there was something about that other that was puzzling and not quito friendly. Gradually he estab. lied reciprocal feeling Of resent ment and defiance.

 By Florence La Ganke.

; "I came over for you" he said defensively.
 "But you will remain to help Berly get herself out of this latest mess," she tossed back with q false smile.
 Beryl saw herself being left hjgh and dry in time need. "Plea9e, Tommy" she said boldly. ''just Eo up and tell Angie you'll find his father for him. Mrs Reed Is only exciting him more every minute. He'll listen to you-you're a hero to him since you saved his life" Tommy felt his responsibility. "Will you wait for me?'' he asked Irene. I've got something to t&lk to you about"
 "Yes?" Irene mocked. then sur prised him by adding: Don't be too long. I've something to tell you too."
 Tommy started up the stairs. which were in the living room. and Beryl was about to follow when she caught an expression on Irene's face that halted her. It accused her as plain as words of running after Tommy. She thought for second or two of turning back. then she went on, hurrying. and caught up with Tommy as he reached the door of Angles room.
 "I'll get his mother out she said softly. "and you will find his father. won't you?"
 Tommy walked over to the bed without answering. "I'll look after Angie" he said to Mrs Reed. You'd better go with Beryl and lie down."
 The way her son greeted Tommy treasured his mother. She got up from the side of the bed. but seemed reluctant to go. You'll rub his legs and back good?" she asked doubtfully.
 Tommy nodded. and Beryl led her to her own room. There she real ized that some of the charges Irene had brought against her in Mrs Reeds hearing had taken per- manent lodging in the latter's mind. I'm afraid Charlie will blame me for letting Angie go to the beach without one of us along" she said.
 Beryl felt the wound of the ufl- spoken accusation-that she had failed in her charge. That is what Irene had said. in other words. lt was not the first time Irene had intimated to the parents of her gang that she was risk. but there'd never bsen anything to bear her out before this. Suppose they agreed with Irene--and broke up her gang!

A few of the principles involved never have been met by the writer in an actual contest, notwithstand- iyss his lengthy experience at bridge.
 Hand No. 1 illustrates the neces- sity of removing the only possible gentry card from the dangerous opponent before finessing into the other hand.
 Fortunately No. presented no difficulty in the bidding as all con- testants bid and played the hand at no trump. West opens the seven of hearts, the fourth highest of his suit.
 More than 95 per cent of all blind opening leads are highly con- ventional, leaving only q small per- centage of hands where the experts would disagree. In these cases. however. the number of arguments which arise are legion because 1t usually means the losing or win ming of an additional trick.
 Directly the first trick is taken with the heart queen, tho declarer should spend a few valuable mos ments in observing where thes two hands will dovetail; how many tricks he is certain Of winning and in what suit real danger appears imminent.
 The expert immediately notes that the dangerous cards held by the adversaries are the ace of spades and the king of clubs. and particularly the ace of spades. There Is no chance Of capturing that card.
 As a general rule. the declarer ct no trump should so at once for the suit in which he has the great. est numerical strength between the tWo combined hands. Naturally he favors the club suit. if the club is played, East will help his partner astablish the unfortunate hearts before the adyersaries have lost thsIr enly recently card, the zee ef

"You can't see Phil Banning. He's married, Sarah Ted said 1t as though 1t were Gibraltar which couldn't be surmounted. "Oh, yes?' Sarah had jumped up and stood with color flaming in her cheeks, and her hands clenched at the sides of the ridiculous pink gingham dress. That's all right. I'll see whom l want to see, when I want to see them. And I won't have you telling me what to do! Of course Joan is perfect. She's a golden angel who ought to sit on a pile of boudoir pillows or a fieecy cloud and play a Tyre. Take her. But leave me alone!"
 She stamped her foot. And get out now! Quickly! And don't you ever come near me again! Never!
 Sarah was aware that Ted's face registered consternation and sur- prise. Then it settled into firm sort
 He didn't answer. He merely crossed to the door. opened 1t, and
 Sarah caught a stified breath. He was going. She had sent him away. told him never to come back. And now he never. never would. Not that he would have anyway. ...... Only....
 He turned as though he was going to speak.
 sarah's head went up proudly again and her eyes flashed.
 "Go on Ted, tell me if ever need a friend you'll be waiting. That's the way. the thing is done on the stage" she said then.
 But he didn't answer. He closed the door and she heard his step on the stairs. Fainter and fainter and fainter. Now the outer door was opening. Now 1t had closed. He was gone. And it was night. Street lights were shining in the streets.
 There was all of her life before her, So much time. And she didn't have anything to do with it.
 But Ted had thought that he and Joan could tell her what to do. Sarah smiled ruefuliy. If she could stay mad it would not be so hard. A sense of her own injuries swept over her. Then suddenly the meaning of Ted's words dawned on her.
 He had said that Phil Banning had a wife. That he was married.
 Well. Phil put one over on me mighty smoothly" Sarah told herself. T thought he was a nice boy. sort of Lonesome, who appreciated my smile and voice. But I certainly didn't think he had an attached look. I don't mind at all. But. Oh, good grief, I'll have to see him again just to let Ted know that I'm doing as please"
 She dropped into the chair where Ted had been sitting.
 Maybe Phil will steer clear now that the woman who has first claim on him Is here. If he does that solves the problem. I'll stay away. But t he doesn't. Tomorrow will de- eide"
 Mechanically Sarah bathed. The cold spray of the shower stung her and she lot tt como while the water grew colder and colder.

and over to Irene's house. But he did not find her at home. Mrs Everett told him she was at the Reeds.
 "She's got some wonderful news" " she added importantly. Miss Spangle telephoned this morning but there, I'm sure shed want to tell you about it herself. Anyway she had to rush right over to prac- tice with Mrs Reed. She's Irene's accompanist. you know," she ex- plained, quite unnecessarily, for Tommy knew it as well as she. But she liked the word; it made Irene seem so much more a singer to have an accompanist. A strange feeling of uneasiness welled up in Tommy. If Irene was at the Reeds house she would hear about his part in the rescue of An gie before he himself could tell her of 1t. She wouldn't like the way Beryl was mixed up in it. And he couldn't blame her, either. because he seemed forever to be getting mixed up in things with Beryl.
 Guess I'll go over there," he said to Mrs Everett and hurried away before she could tell him he mustn't interfere with the vocal izing.
 There was quite a lot of commo- ton at the Reed home. Angie was an only child and the thought that she had nearly lost him trove his mother close to hysteria. Beryl had tried to quiet her but Irene made that impossible, being provoked to an outburst of temper by the interruption of her voice work.
 If you could only realize that even in this day and age a girl has no right to act like a wild In- dian, you would spare your friends and your family a lot of trouble and humiliation" she declared hotly.
 Beryl did not answer. She was telling Mrs Reed what they must do for Angie.
 Look at you!" Irene went on. Driving all over Long Island in 2 bathing suit. It's a wonder you didn't get arrested"
 LAW say" Angie put in. who'd arrest Miss Beryl? Besides we uiun SeS oHy S0PS VI" s"S wy home"
 "It's a good thing you didn't" Irene insisted. ''or we'd be thor ougly disgraced by now"
 We must get Angie to bed" Bery, said to Mrs Reed. Angie developed a sudden trucu- lence. "I don't want Q lot of women fussin' over me-" he protested. 'I want my daddy"
 "oh, where Is charlle?" Mrs Reed walled, her thought, like her sons leaping to the man of the family. "someone must find hint"
 And then tho telephone rang. The families of tho other boys iu the party were beginning to call in to ask about Angie. Even Beryl was scarcely equal te this situation. {. And when Tommy walked Into it she turned Co him in obvious relief.
 "i'm glad you've come" she nald with unaffected sincerity. We cant do q thing with Anslei"
 Tommy looked beyond her at Irene who sat at the plano. picking ont song melodies.
