don't care, however, and choose
the unlined perforated shoes
for their chic.
Cool and Comfortable
We've managed to select the
three smartest types and the
three smartest feathers for our
sketches today, which just
shows you how easy it is to
find good shoes. The pump is
of white doeskin, perforated in
a good design and lined with
pastel kid. The higher heel
makes it suitable for simple
white summer frocks as we'll
as spectator sports clothes. 1t
is priced Sc. and so is the strap
shoe with black or brown trim
ming. Although this shoe isn't
all white, it is so different from
last years combinations that
it has a decided look of new
ness. 1t is of pigskin, the con-
trasting leather either brown
p kid or black patent. 1t is lined
and has perforationS on the
vamp. The tie is unlined. is Of
white calf and has small per-
forations in delicate design. 1t
is priced 81. Don't forget that
all these shoes have the added
advantage of being very, very
cool during the hot weather.
For the name of the store
where you can find these shoes,
or for fashian information,
write Miss LaviIle enclosing a
seIf-addresSed, stamped envelope,
or call District $3.50, extension

Dear Miss Fairfax:

ScnOOl Days
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am II years old, and I
like a boy very much who is
also II. My two chums tell
me they think he likes me, be-
cause he looks at me all the
time in the class room. Now
comes the problem, this past
week I have caught him look
ing at one of my chums in
history class and it hurts me
very much. When I catch him
looking at her, some instinct
tells me she realizes the sig
nificance of his glances. She
can be hurt very easily, but
so can l. Shall I wait and
see how things turn out, or
say something to her?
RICKEY.
My dear child, if a cat may
look at a king, surely a boy
can look at another girl in
history class. And even if you
were married to him, you
couldn't expect to control his
glances. Be a good little sport

CHAPTER VIII

; Lynn had a notebook anG a
pencil. She set down figures.
So much for rent; so much for
light and gas. What about
food?
Food" said Jennie, puts
no gray in your bob. Dinner,
that is. Not if you know the
ropes. Sometimes you snatch a
lunch, too"
1t was cheaper to eat at home,
Lynn told her.
mot if someone else pays the
check when you're out"
Lynn looked at the figures
and decided she could do it.
It was not, of course, as cheap
as the club. But with less put
away for savings later to be
invested, it could certainly be
managed. And she considered
that the advantages far out
weighed the expenditure. To be
free of the club was in itself
an enormous lure-to have a
place partly her own to which
she might go at night to which
Tom could come.
She decided, I'll do it,
Jennie. When may I come imp"
Any time after Angles de-
parture, Jennie told her. She
was pleased. She liked Lynn.
Lynn was a good scout. They
wouldn't get in each others
way. Lynn, Jennie judged, would
not be interested in Jennie'S
circle of male acquaintance.
She wouldn't. as Angie had
done. snatch heavy dates from
under Jennie's nose and then
marry them.
Lynn gave her notice to the
club.
Il hope it's for your good"
said the directreSs. shifting and
hoping, of course. no such
thing.
Sarah DiSapprOveS
Sarah was frankly disapprov-
ing. my dear child, what will
your mother Say?" Sarah never
had met Jennie but had heard
her discussed.
Tom was not we'll pleased,
either. ''I don't like it; she trav-
els with a funny gang" he said.
well, I don't have to travel
with them, do /? And oh, Tom,
. I'm so darned sick of the club"
He wanted her to be happy.
so he gave in gracefully. He
grinned. He said. We'll it has
its good points. Can you cook?

The all-white shoe is back at
last. After summers and sum-
mers of brown and white COM
binations, and black and white,
we at last have white used alone
as the smarteSt of them all. Not
that combinations with black or
brown are out of the picture
entirely. Far from it. But
they are not the newest this
year, nor the SmarteSt, though
you will see them in the dozens
and hundreds, and though
they will no doubt be worn for
sports for some time to come.
And of the new white sports
shoes, the majority are perfora-
ted. Big holes, little holes,
grouped, scattered, or in regular
rows. perforations are the fash.
ion feature of the moment.
Newest are UnIined
It doesn't matter whether
you choose pumps, ties or strap
shoes, all are good. But to
line them up more accurately,
we might say that for golf and
the more active sports, ghillies
or ties are the most popular,
and for spectator sports, pumps
are in the lead. Strap shoes
do not seem to be sports-like,
so are more usually reserved for
afternoon and evening. One
of the better fashion magazines
says that if you can have only
one pair of spectator sports
shoes, your best choice is white
perforated buckSkin pumps. Or
they might be doeskip, or pig

Optimist

Together
Can we go back and find again
Old ways where once we trod
Before we drained the cup Of
pain
And kissed the Christening
rod?
Not I alone or you alone
Can find those paths so dear;
If We would win to roads well
known,
We two must journey near.
We must keep close together,
Sweet,
Throughout the whole, long
way
Back to glad pathways where
our feet
Danced many an April day.
And if we seek it hand in hand
I think that We may find
That lovely, lost. enchanted land,
Still beautiful and kind!

Wants More Salary

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
This is not about love,
though if I get a step up in
salary I know just the girl.
I'm a boy of 20, and do odd
jobs for q certain substantial
firm. Often they get me to
write easy business letters, ana
sometimes I'm stumped by
questions in English. My girl
friend told me that you recon-
mended some helpful little
books on that subject some
weeks ago. Would you be good
enough to publish the names
of them for
AMBITION DAN.
So sorry 1 can't publish the
names of those handy little
books on English, but this col
umn never prints anything in
the way of advertising-eVen
the names of helpful little
handbooks. But if you'll send
me a self-addressed and stamped
envelope I'll be very glad in
deed to mail you the names of
the books. They were recon-
mended by the U. S. Govern
ment to help soldiers who were
ambitious to get better jobs and
to be a little more ready in
speaking and writing. 1 have
sent out more than 500 lists of
these books, and a good many
boys and girls have written in
to me to say that they have
found them extremely helpful
for just the purpose you re-

When Manners
Are Correct

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper to send a letter
of thanks in typewriter form?
A boy has secured a position
through a Mr.. Smith who
spoke to a friend of his, who
hired this boy. I think he
should write a letter of thanks
to Mr.. Smith in his own hand
writing. But he says my idea
is old-fashioned. We hope you
will help us. H. K.
For this kind of letter, a
typewriter letter would be as
appropriate as a letter written
in handwriting. This letter is
in the nature o. a business
letter, and so tho &Jping would
be consistent. =.

of the world is unchanged, and young folks it
in its first Eden-ke cOlors. Fourteen leans
upon a farm fence, the pure heart in the young
chest vowing be great, believing it will be good,
pledging to be rich, hoping to fail. And all
of these: greatness, goodness, wealth,

luminous and splendid and unselfish greatness good
ness, wealth and than often is the grown
up idea of these desirabes. And the ship does not
always sail back, and "come in" with the
goods it left with-untarnshed!

Bidding went as follows: Y
made an opening bid of l.
Spade, third hand; B doubled;
A bid 2-Clubs; Y bid 2-Spades;;'
B went 3-Clubs; A shifted into
3-Hearts; Y passed; B bid A.
Hearts; Y doubled.
The opening lead was the J
of clubs. B won with the K.
The K of Diamonds was led
back, and Y won with his Ace.
Y returned his 10 of Diamonds;
B won with his @. The de-
clarer led his Q of Hearts, let
ting it run, and US K won the
trick. OF course Y might have
cashed his Ace of Spades, CIV
ing his side their third trick,
and trusting that Y might win
another trump trick. Instead
of doing this, Y led his last re-
manning diamond; BIS 7 forced
rs j and declarer trumped.
The Ace of Hearts was led,
followed by the s; H held
the Jack-9 over Y's 1913, and
the declarer picked up both
of US trumps. Eight tricks
had been played, of which
Y had won only two. The
last five tricks went to the
declaring side; they held four
good Clubs, upon the last
two of which B discarded
his two Spades. BIS fifth trick
was made by means Of his
top Diamond. Instead of hav-
ing their declaration of Four
Hearts defeated, ALB won one
overtrick. It seems as if Y
might have employed more ef-
ficient strategy. What was his
best defense?
While Y cannot defeat per-
fectly executed contract, he
can at least win three tricks,
and unless the declarer is very
careful Y can put the game
contract down one trick.
I think Y's best chance to
defeat the contract consists Of
the following defensive STRAIT
egy: Y should lead his lone
Club, BIS King will win the
trick. BIS Queen of trumpS
should be led, but Y should
not win the trick with his
King. Unless the declarer is
very careful, this hold-up by
Y will enable Y to defeat the
contract.
Baffled in his attempt to
oblige Y to win the first lead OF
trumpS, the declarer must next
lead his King of Diamonds. II
Y refuses to win the first dia-
mond trick. BIS Queen Of Dla-
monds must be led, to clear that
suit, to enable A to ruff one dia-
mond. AS a matter of practical
play, Y. may as we'll win the
first lead of diamonds, but
when he leads back, Y must
lead his lowest diamond, not
his highest remaining card OF
that suit, as that helps the de-
clarer.
Regardless of what Y does,
A will trump the third lead Of
diamonds. Then A must lead
his Ace of Hearts, followed by
his last remaining card of that
suit.
If Y wins the third lead OF
Hearts, he should lead back his
last Heart. In case Y declines
to win the third round OF
Hearts, B must lead his last
Heart, putting Y in the lead.
and obliging him to lead
Spades. In any event Y can
win only three tricks against
perfect play. He can win one
Diamond trick; one Heart
trick; one Spade trick.

AnAbsorbins Narrative Of
Love and Big Business

with apparent irrelevance.
Lynn wondered if she could
persuade Jennie to get rid OF
some of the dolls and pillows.
She could, it appeared. Most OF
them belonged to Angie, any
way, and with her departure all
but the ShabbieSt vanished.
Lynn drew out some OF her saw
ings and Scurried about second
hand stores in her spare time.
Mrs. Harding, from Florida,
wrote that she was so glad Lynn
had settled in her own apart
ment with a nice friend"
Sarah, it seemed, had held her
tongue.
Tom painted furniture and
built a bookcase and radio
set.
Lynn made the living-room
into her own. The bed-divan
was now hers, and she con-
tributed a cherrywood chest,
which served as a bureau, and
a slim wall desk. Jennie had
offered her the bedroom, but it
was darker, smaller, more air
less than the living room, and
besides, Lynn knew that Jennie
would be lost without her dress
ing table.
So they settled down for the
winter. Jennie was out most
of the time. Now and then she
threw party at which lynn
was welcome. But generally
Lynn went out and stayed
away as late as possible so that
on her return the place would
be empty of everyone save Jen-
ME.
Yet the apartment did not
work out. Oh, as far as Jen-
ME was concerned it did. But
when Tom came into it, the
apartment was proving danger.
Gus. They were in it alone far
too much.
A Big Difference
1t was spring. Spring makes
difference. The poets are
right, whatever we may think.
Tom. please, dear! Jennie
will be home any moment.
Let her come. No, I hope
she stays away. Why isn't this
our place, Lynn, just yours and
mine? Why do I ever have
to leave you-at night?"
Toni"
"Oh, I won't hold you against
your will" He would loosen
. his arms and watch her gloom
lily as she walked away from
him. Toms kisses were no
longer bQyish. They were a
little desperate.
One night he burst out,
Lynn. we've got to get mar
ried. I can't stand things this
way"
Tom, we can't. Don't be
absurd, darling; you know we
can't!"
He crossed the room in three
strides, came and stood behind
her, so that she was forced to
turn and look up into his face.
"I'll-I'll cut out all the ra-
dio business, he said, a little
pale.
This was an authentic sacri-
flee. No one knew what radio
had brought him. To Tom
music, lectures. dramas meant
nothing. But the things which
brought them to their audiences
meant much. There was SO
much more to be discovered, so
much more to learn. But it
