Washington Fashions
By Wilma LaVille

About this time of the year,
most Of us are pretty used to
our clothes, and no matter how
enthusiastic we are about them,
we could do with a little
change. Just one costume
added to your wardrobe to
give the old stand-bys a little
rest is usually all you want.
and if you're ingenious, you
may be able to concoct very
good looking one from things
you already have. This is a
season when two fabrics are
better than one, and when
color contrast is almost a rule,
so don't despair if you have
nothing that matches. The
clever ParisianS have found
many ways of doing it, and we
can not only copy them, but
invent our own combinations.

The Rhymin9
Optimist
BY ALTNE MICHAELIs

Only a Garden
Life is only a garden,
That, and nothing more;
Wind-kissed, sun-sweet roses
Nodding by the door.
Lovely in the moonlight
Joyous as the spring,
Life is only a garden,
Blithe with birds that sing.
Dreary when the leaves fall
RuStling in the wind,
Sadder for the memories
Summer strews behind.
Life is only a garden,
Wrapped in winters snow,
Shorn Of song and sweetness
Where all bleak winds blow.
Life is only a garden;
You, my calendar,
Always life is blooming
With summer where you are!

When Manners
Are Correct
Letter Of Thanks

OSSOA VA 4AA0AAA6
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
It has just occurred to me
that perhaps I am being very
rude or at least neglecting one
Of the nice little courtesieS.
My problem is this:
My 20-year-old daughter is
visiting her friend at her
friends country home. She
has been there all this month.
The girls are returning very
soon. My daughter and her
girl friend have been working
together dancing. They Nroom
together on the road and in
New York.
/. Should I send a small
note to the mother? I have
met the friends mother. Or
to the young girl asking her to
thank her mother? I know
the young girl very well.
2. If I should send a note,
should I send it direct to the
mother or daughter, or put it
in with my letter to my
daughter? L.
I'm so happy that you have
decided to write this gracious
note of appreciation of this
great courtesy and hospitality
to your daughter. It is very
important that you do this;
first, because such goodness
should be recognized and
thanked for; and second, be-
cause it is an excellent thing
for a mother constantly to
show her daughters friends
J that that daughter has a back
ground Of graciousness and ap-
probation and mannerlinesS in
her home and in her parents.
!. Write your note to the
mother, who has been your
daughters hostess. If you wish,
you may also write q note to
the girl who is your daughters
friend, but the by far more i'm.
portant note is the one to the
mother.
: 2. Send your letter direct to
the mother. Don't send it in.
directly to your daughter.

One need not emphasize now
embarrassing suffering and
other speech defects are, nor
that they constitute a tremen-
dous handicap in social and
business relationships.
Most individuals who suffer
from speech defects, no matter
what their kind, at one time or
another have resorted to speech
exercises to overcome their diff.
ficulty. Yet it is surprising
how many Of these people either
improve for a while and then
relapse, or practice the exercises
diligently day by day and find
no improvement.
The reason for such failure
is surely not far to seek. What
has happened is that emphasis
has been laid upon mechanical
means alone, the patient for
getting all the while that in
all probability his suffering
has a nervous origin.
Now a man or woman may

He Couldn't Fool Her
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am deeply in love with my
stenographer, but she does not
seem to care for me. One night
the firm gave a party for the
employees. I persuaded her into
my car and took her for a ride.
When we came to a lonely spot
I pretended the car broke down.
While made believe I was fix.
ing it in the back, she drove
away and I had to walk home.
The next day at the office
she caught me rubbing my feet
and laughed. I wanted to tell
her I love her but from her in
different attitude I feel she
would lust laugh" I feel en-
barraSSed when I see her
every day. JACK.
Use your imagination, and
don't try any more Of those
ancient lodges, like the one
you pulled the night she drove
off. I don't wonder you're in
love with this girl. She has a
real sense Of humor. Just
keep on trying.

Bidding Systems

Ballyhoo may change noVlces
or unthinking players from one
system of bidding to another.
without in the least benefiting
anyone except the one bally-
hooed, and few who seize the
excuse for writing a new book.
AS a matter Of practical fact,
all well-known systems Of bid
ding are about equally efficient.
I have to play all Of them in the
various clubs where fancy diff
fers, and every sensible teacher
gives clients what they desire In
the way of instruction. The
best system for you is the one
best understood by yourself and
your partner. It Is well to
understand all popular systems,
so that your opponents mean
ings may be clear, even if you
wish to play only one system.
For some time the majority
of club and tournament play
erS of New York have favored the
"one-over-one" system. For the
past few months the trend has
been to modify this system into
the "suit-over-suit" system.
think that the latter is more
logical, and somewhat superior
in holding down bidding until
partners decide upon their best
final call.
Opening Bids
To be thoroughly modern and
sound, under any system OF
bidding, an opening bid re-
quires 21a tracks and cards
worth five probable tricks. Un-
less a powerful two-suitor. Is
held. or a suit requiring pre-
emption, do not bid a suit lack
ing some quick trick strength
on the side. Reserve such hold
ings for secondary bids.
Although all do not agree,
T prefer bidding no-trump on
a hand having some strength
in at least three suits, if the
division between suits is 1888.
One biddable suit and another
suit of at least four cards is
better adapted to a suit bid
than to no-trumpS. Bid the
hands shown below as indi-
Gated.

First show the longer Of two
biddable suits. Show the higher
ranking suit if beth suits are
Of the same length. Bid 1-Club
on the first hand shown below,
as it is longer than spades.
Bid 1-Spade on the second
hand, as spades and hearts
are equal in length.

There are suits worth bidding
in any position, although the
hands contains fewer than 212
quick tricks, but such unusual
hands will be considered later.
In general third and fourth
hand positions may be opened
with a sGit bid meeting the
following Requirement is. If
strong in both major suits, bid
as dealer would. If weak in
one major suit, open if 3 quick
tricks are held. If weak in
both major suits open if 312
quick tricks are held.
The reason for being SO care
full about making opening bid
after partner has passed are
these: your opponents may
make secondary bids that may
go game If you are weak in
major suits; there is small dan
ger Of their going game if you
are strong in the major suits.
If your partner is inclined to
pass strong hands as dealer or
second hand, you may make
third hand or fourth hand
opening bids just as if you had
dealt.

CHAPTER TfIIRTY-ONE

In washington Square the
news Of Yvonne's engagement
was received variously. Mrs.
Sheldon said something about
a good match. Shed heard Of
the Carstairs family. Eliza
beth's eyes filled with tears.
Both women were thinking
not Of Yvonne. They were
looking at Joyce, the little,
eager face, the cropped dark
hair-that had been a strug-

with excitement.
