"TwO Irishmen Too Much"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am % years old, and I've
been going with a delightful
young Irishman for three
months. We care a lot for
each other but the trouble,
according to my family, is a
difference in nationality. I
have a sister who is also en-
gagged to an Irishman; but the
older sister, with whom I make
my home, is pretty strict, and
she thinks I should not go
around with Mike on account
of his nationality. We are
Scotch, and she says two Irish
men in the family will be too
much. I don't know what 1
shall do if I have to give up
this boy. He has treated me
well in every way. Besides, I
think at % I am old enough
to decide this matter for my
self.
The only thing I can think
of better than having two Irish
men in the family would be
three. Think of all the wit.
and fun, and humor, and gen.
eroSity you'd have at meals.

have led the of clubs. That
was the only possible way to
beat the contract. ALB then
would have won one diamond
trick and five club tricks, put
ting down by one trick the
doubled and redoubled con-
tract. That was the one error
chargeable to A, but it was a
very serious error, giving Y
game.
Instead of leading back a
trump, A led back a heart, on
the ground that the lead could
do no harm, because dummy
held solid tops in that suit and
could win three heart tricks at
any time.
The declarer made no at
tempt to lead trumps, of course.
Instead of that the declarer
took two spade tricks in his own
hand. Then he took his @ of
diamonds. Dummy won third
trick in hearts.
At the end of the seventh
trick there had been taken from
BIS hand every non-trump card,
leaving him only his six clubs,
with which he had to win five
tricks to defeat the re-doubled
contract.
A spade was led from dummy.
A followed suit. The declarer
discarded his last diamond,
leaving him his five clubs only.
B had to trump the trick.
Had B led his lowest remain
ing club, his partners 9 either
would have won the trick, or B
would have been obliged to play
his Ace, which would have given
the remaining four tricks to A.
B, thus defeating the contract.
But B did not stop to think that
his partner held one club, as Y
plainly could hold only five
clubs. B dashed out with his K
of clubs, and in turn he led
each of his four honors. Y won
the fourth honor led, and his 8
won the last trick, just giving

For two or three seasons,
beach and bathing clothes have
been headed toward extreme
simplicity and wearableness.
We've known for long that the
smartest women wore clothes
that could stand the gaff, that
looked like they were meant to
play and swim in, and not
lounge for the benefit of spec
tators. But this season they
seem to have reached their
zenith, with more attention to
cottonS and woods as against
silks and froth. And as these
beach fashions are an accurate
forecast of summer bathing
things, it's of interest to us all
to take a look at them.
COlOrs Are Gray
Everything is designed to give
us more sunlight, to tan skins
if you want them tanned, but
there's often a little extra
jacket for those who do not
want a healthy brown. And
everything is comfortable.
SlackS, or bags, as they are
now called, have legs not too
wide. so that they are practical
to walk or sail in. Beach
dresses are much more popular
than pajamas, because they are
easy to get in and out Of, and
because they're more becoming.

smart color combinations. and

Germs are very minute or
ganisms. In fact, they can
only be seen with high-powered
microscopes. Some are vege-
table in origin, some are on
the borderline between vege-
table and animal, ana some
are animal and frankly para
site in nature.
Germs are everywhere: in the
air we breathe, IN the food
we eat. on the things We touch
and come into daily contact
with. Germs lodged in the
mouth and nasal passages, for
instance, may enter the body
proper by way of the lungs or
the digestive tract. We do not
Succumb to their ravages, how
ever, when natures defenses,
which might be summarized in
the two words Sound health,"
are strong enough TO fight
them off.
All disease germs of whatever
kind are composed of an outer
covering of cellulose and an
internal substance, protoplasm,
which is alive. But the vege-
table ones do not, like plants,
contain that special coloring
matter known as chIorophyl.
We therefore find germs of
vegetable origin to be colorless.
There are germs which are
round, oval, spiral, rod-shaped,
or formed like a thin filament.
When round they are called
cocci. Because they are micro
scopic they are often desig-
mated as micrococci. When
looking like rods they are
known as bacilli or bacteria.
The size of the various germs
varies from one fifty-thou-
sandths of an inch to one five
hundredthS of an inch.
Germs multiply either by
simple division or by the pro-
duction of eggs or spores.
Strange to say. these spores are
very hardy. Indeed, the spores

Plans for a Shower
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My sister is to be married in
a few months and I would like
to give her a shower. I am
married and have my own
home, and, of course, would
have the shower there.
I am not quite. sure whether
it would be proper for me to
do this, so I would appreciate
your advice. r.
This is a question that must
be answered by the person her
self. The fact is that, generally
speaking, it is not considered
the best of form for a close
relative of either the bride or
the groom to give showers for
the bride-to-be. The reason is
obvious. "a shower invitation
is, from it's very nature, "bid"
for a present, and this, from a
close relative, does seem bit
out-of-place. Don't you think?
We think of showers being
planned by a group of the
brides close friends, or by her
club.

The Beauty
Box

Now and then a complexion

anything to do with a lather.
But there's a way of deceiving
it. Cleanse the skin surface
with two applications of cold
cream, removing the first one
so as to free the epidermis of
makeup and atmospheric dust.
Dip the washcloth in soapy wa
ter, place over the face, let it
steam. Not much friction, just
a gentle laving. There will be
no dryness of the skin after
wards, or any irritation.
