Printed chiffons at last have
a formidable rival for summer
evenings. For years we've been
satisfied with a cool print, and
considered them almost the
only thing to wear in the sum-
mer. Of course they're still
good, especially when they are
in a particularly individual or
beautiful pattern, but their
prestige has been considerably
shaken this year, and they have
to share honors with several
fabrics. Not only have the
cottons, both starchy and soft,
claimed attention, but now the
pastel sheers are coming in for
their share too. And they have
a right to it, not only for their
long eclipse. but for their many
smart qualities.
Lines Straighter
Some of the new sheerS are
chiffons, but it's not fair to
call them all that, for some
have other qualities that chif-
fons haven't. Nothing is quite
as cool as chiffon. but some OF
the heavier sheers have more
weight and body. so that they

Two Sisters


Two Sisters
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I shall be delighted to have
you help me with a problem
that has been troubling me for
the last two or three years.
1 have only two children, two
little girls % months apart.
Naturally. I want them to be
companions, but they are not
in the same room at school,
and, therefore, sometimes one
is invited to a party without
the other. When the inviting
one is not aware of a sister, 1
thinking nothing of it, and so
far, have always made polite
excuse.
1 have two friends who have
only one daughter each, and
they - separately - of course,
have twice invited my older
girl and not the younger. She
feels this, of course, and I feel
it too. In fact, I resent it. as
they know my family well.
When my children have parties
always see to it that they do
not neglect a small brother or
sister who is anywhere nearly
the same age.
Am right or are they? And
what can I do about it?
MOTHER.
I do not completely agree
with you about this. 1t would,
1 think, be wiser of you if you
begin now to make each child
understand that she must not
expect to be invited to- every
party to which her sister is in
vited.
They are of different ages,
of different grades in school,

ent friends, of different ages
and of different grades in
school.
1 don't think that it is a
very attractive thing to observe
in children-this expecting, al
most demanding. to be invited
to parties-any more than l
think it is attractive in older
people. No matter Of what
age we are, whether tiny tots

Man-eaters are not just or

and even then will not eat the
body. Only a depraved tiger,
usually one that is prevented
by age or injury from finding
his ordinary food, deVelors a
tolerance for human flesh.
But once he gets the uunat-
ural habit, it grows on him,
and he may account for several
human lives unless his wild
career is quickly checked.

Most of the man-eating tigers
are promptly hunted down and
killed by the local authorities.
Once or twice a year, there
emerges a particularly clever
and crafty beast who is able to
outwit his pursuers and con-
tinue his killings once a week
or so for a considerable pc
riod. There have been several
man-eaters in the course of the
past 18 years that have piled
up records of a dozen or more
human lives.

"The Boss" Is a Cad?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have a swell job, and I
need it most awfully, as the
family income has shrunk to
about nothing and I'm keeping
the home pot boiling. One
night we had to work late over
some income tax business and
"the boss" almost paralyzed me
by asking me if I'd dine with
him. I went, and he told me
how much he had admired me
since I had been with the firm.
I was pretty uncomfortable.
Since then he's invited me
to lunch three times. I &C.
cepted once, declined twice. I'm
afraid now either to accept or
decline. He's married, and has
grown children have a sweet
heart of my own, whom hope
to marry as soon as times get
better and my family is less
on my hands. I am terribly

sportsmanship, and can be made

In TIT a shoemaker named
Harris, in Cumberland, England,
found a child's stocking in the
street. He carried it to neigh
boring house to inquire for the
owner. He noticed the people
to whom he showed it called it
a red stocking and he did not
understand what they meant
By that designation because he
thought it was completely de-
Scribed by calling it stocking.
He began to ponder over this
circumstance and finally discoV-
cred that he was different from
everyone he knew in that they
distinguished a peculiar prop
erty in objects which they called
color. He remembered that as
a child other children referred
to cherries as having this prop

self, could not tell the cherries
from the leaves except by the
size and shape.
F--om this mans case dates
our knowledge of color blind
ness. 1t must seem strange that
he did not realize his own Pc
culiarlies until late in life, and
it is even stranger that it was
so late in the history of the race
that color blindness was de-
scribed and catalogued. But so
it was.
Indeed, the Importance of
color blindness is only of quite
recent date. Not until railway
signals and ship signals became
a part of daily life was it i'm
perative to have some way of
detecting color blind people and
eliminating them from occupa-
tio:s requiring color discrimina-
ton.

Correct Manners

or mature people, we should
look at invitations from a
different point of view. we
shouldn't expect them, but
should be appreciative of them
when we are invited. If this
point of view about the social
world is instilled into us early,
We are much nicer to live with
and to observe later in life.
We shouldn't expect what

Cant you tell me?" urged
Dwight, wondering in his turn.
He smiled wryly in the darkness.
Young Shepard, again? OF
course, young Shepard! Would
he have to listen to her con-
fidences, her confession that
hope deferred makeeth the
heart sick? Well, he'd listen,
then.
IT shouldn't" she admitted
slowly.
Why not tell him, in part?
She trusted him: he had told
her that she might. Her inn

help, her relaxed feeling of
physical well-being, all contrived
to blind her to her indiscre-
ton.

mention names or anything.
You understand"
He was becoming more and
more puzzled. quite. Well
consider alphabetically" he
agreed.
How young she was, how in
credibly young! How more than
incredibly sweet! He fought
down the impulse to rise, to
sweep her into his arms, to kiss
the hesitating questions from
her desired lips; the impulse to
say, Forget it all, can't you?
Let it wait. Love me tonight.
Tonight never comes again"
He went pale with the force
of his emotion. He snapped
open his cigaret case and lighted
a cigaret with hands none too
steady. The small squirt of the
lighters blu e-yellow flame
showed her his face against the
background of darkness, grave,
familiar, to be trusted. She

her explanations by a series of
questions.

right to use this knowledge for

Business Ethics
Dwight was immeasurably
astonished. He had thought to
hear twice-told tale of love
and Illustration. Instead. it
seemed, he was being interro-
goted on the subject of business
ethics!
He answered cautiously,
Gould you explain little more
fully without actually betray-
ing confidences?"
Well, then, it all had to do

mentioned was in position to
know that a merger was being
planned. Nothing that this

ance to take advantage of the
information.

plans are" she acknowledged
miserably. But I think it
amounts to selling the informa.
tion at just the right time to
Influential people,"
Dwight pondered the question
IN silence, Shepard, of course,
with his access to the banks
affairs. Lynn would hardly con-
Germ herself with anyone save
Tom Shepard. The business, of
course. was the banks. Upon
what other business would Shep-
ard have advance information9

Dwight was the acquaintance"
Who could it be? Lynn her
self? Yes. it might be Lynn
afraid, after she had made her
suggestion to Tom.
He replied slowly: II don't
know enough about it, Lynn.
It's probably legitimate enough;
that is, in the sense of being
within the law. Ethically, it's
another matter. I shouldn't
worry about it if I were you"

z made a Semi-forclng open
ing bid of 2-HeartS. OF course
A passed. Y had a biddable
suit; he held one quick trick,
and he was very short of his
partners suit; he should have
bid 2-Spades, then z would
have shown his clubs. Y bid
2-No Trumps. Visions of win
ming six spade tricks against
the no-trumps, caused B to
pass. 2 bid 3-ClubS; perhaps
he should have bid 4-Clubs; Y
should have bid 4-ClubS, but
he passed. AS the contract
could not yield game, B should
have passed. Instead of follow
ing that rational course, B bid
3-Spades, without reasonable
expectations of fulfilling his
contract. That afforded the
opportunity z desired to show
his real strength; he bid
4-Clubs; Y raised to 5-Clubs,
and 2 rashly bid 6-Clubs, chiefly
because he held no spades. B
doubled.
Of course, the opening lead
was the of spades. Dummy's 10
covered, and the declarer ruffed
when B played the Q. En-
try was obtained to dummy by
leading a low diamond, winning
the trick with the Ace. The 8 of
clubs was led through B, who
played low; 2 played his 8. Hav-
ing located the K of trumpS,
US only heart was led, and rs
@ won the trick on a finesSe.
The Ace of hearts was led; a
low diamond was discarded
from dummy. Then dummy ruff
fled the third round of hearts.
The 7 of clubs was led; BIS K
went up; rs Ace won the trick,
dropping the last adversely held
trump.
The eight trick was won by
leading a low heart, and trump
ing with US last remaining
club. A low spade was led from
dummy and trumped with the
10. There was little opportu-
nifty afforded the declarer to
make a grand slam. B held
nothing except spades: A held
only diamonds. All the declarer
could do was to lead off his win
ming cards. The last trump
was led; A discarded his 10 of
diamonds, and B let go of
spades. The twelfth trick was
won by the declarer's K of dia-
monds. Il played the J. and he
still held the winning @, so that
the declarer had to yield the
thirteenth trick to his adver
sarieS. but he fulfilled his dou-
bled contract for a small slam.
Think of the difference in
score had B passed the harm
less bid of 3 Clubs that Y
had neglected to raise. When
a player is trapped in a foolish
loss, sometimes his excuses for
his conduct are inane. A took
his partner to task for having
reopened the bidding, with his
silly 3-Spade declaration. BIS
excuse was that he thought his
spades must be established, and
that his two side kings would
enable him to win eight tricks
in his own hand, in case A
could support a strong declara-
ton of spades, although A had
consistently passed. and z had
strongly bid both suits of
which B held kings.
