"BL LONDIE OF THEF EFOLLIES"
An Unusual Romance Of
Life Back-Stase

one has to be cultured, you
know"
Blonde didn't know what it
was all about, but she was
properly awed. There was ST.
lence for a moment as Lurline
reached for a cigarette.
Whats the dirt?" asked
Blonde.
Lurline lighted a gold-tipped
cigarette and held out the
cigarette case to Blonde.
"Aw. gee, Lot, is that silver?"
Platinum, child" And Lur-
line pointed to the initials on
the case. IL. C.-Lurline Cav
endish," she said.
"L C.-Lucky Chump!" re-
torted Blonde.
Not so lucky-I've worked
hard"
Work. SO do I work hard,
but"
1t All Depends
We'll, it depends upon the
ilieu,"-impressively-"I mean,
how and where you work"
Yes, that's true. Like the
President works at the White
House
Precisely. Think I've i'm
proved?"
I'D never have believed it."
"I followed my star, that's
all"
DO you know any to speak
off"
"What?" Lurline looked in
creduously at Blonde.
STARS. Say, like. .Garbo?"
Seeing Lurline's astoniShment,
Blonde hurried on: "Lottie,
I'm nuts about that dame. She's
one that's got refinement. Did
you see her when she sat back
in the car with Clark Gable
and all sort of languid like?"
Blonde picked up the fur
and put it around her neck. She
pretended to be carried away
emotionally, and started an i'm
itation of Carlo: Il don't know
what you mean when you say
you love me. So many men
have said that" mimicked
Blonde, in a husky voice.
She continued her description
of the scene: And then-when
Gable leans over and grabs her
and she kind of melts up into
his arms. Oh, boy! Oh, boy!"
Blcndie gave a long sigh. I've
seen all her pictures-and here
YOU are following the stars
around like you say you are.

CHAPTER VIII

n was the first time Rolls
Royce limousine had ever
poked its aristocratic nose into
this tenement district, and
fire couldn't have attracted
more attention. There at the
curb stood the Lurline Caven-
dish limousine, surrounded by a
wild mob Of bowling street
urchins. The liveried chauf-
feur was vainly trying to un-
load grimy children who had
crowded into the drivers seat
and tonneau. His curses and
shriekS in French were drowned
out by shouts and catcalls. AS
Lurline and Blonde arrived at
the car the chauffeur had sue
ceeded in grabbing one urchln
off the shining top.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
Lurhne commenced hauling the
squirming, shouting humanity
out of the tonneau. pausing only
to point to a smashed tomato
on the gliStening door. When
she yanked out the lost child,
Lurline turned to Blonde. Her
eyes were flashing.
Come on, jump in! We can't
talk before all this rabble!"
"Okay," answered Blonde.
Then she turned, looked up at
her windows and called out:
"Oh, Pa! I'll be back" But
her message trailed off, sWal-
lowed up in the cat-calls and
boos of the children.
AS Blonde jumped in the car,
the cries grew Shriller. The
car leaped ahead, scurrying
children right and left. and
Lurline turned to look out the
rear window. AS she did an
over-ripe tomato squashed
against the glass, and Lurline
yanked down the little curtain.
The Last Time
"That's the last time I ever
swing my hips down into this
dump" The old Lottie was
talking now. For crying out
loud, and I wanted to do the
nice thing-ixnay!" Then, ad-
dressing the chauffeur, Lurline
became the lady again. "JamaiS
encore! Vite, Andre, vite; al
Ions a maiSon."

Comic Strip
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

It's a dull day when Sister"
Aimee Semple Mcpherson Hut
ton-have I got it all in?-or
some of her family fails to
make the first page. The
latest is Ma" Kennedy Hud-
son, mother of the Titian-haired
evangelist.
Ma" the bride of less than
a year, announced that she
was cutting loose. Our mar
ried life has been just a comic
strip-and is getting funnier
and funnier."
1t seems that Mrs. Hudson
had been called upon to write
a good many checks for her
husbands debts, but she could
never quite keep up with the
schedule. The more checks, the
more debts, so Ma" quit; but
says she has no hard feelings.
Women Are FIattered
This is not running true to
form. Mrs. Hudson should have
shouted "zoWie!" and thrown
things, as the comic strip wives
do, and with rather better aim
than their counterparts in real
life. Cartoonists always flatter
women in tNc matter of pitching
ability.
Girls write me almost every
day asking whether marriage is
as bad as the comic strips show
it. To which I always answer:
Are the funny things which
happen to you as funny as the
things you read in the comic
papers? Are girls in real life as
Spectacularly beautiful as the
girls on the backs of magazines?
Do the flowers you raise in your
garden or window box equal the
gorgeouS-colored blooms in the
SeedSman'S catalogue?
This is an age of exaggera-
tion. We have to be squeezed
to laugh, and the slapstick con-
ception of marriage is intended
to amuse and entertain you. It
is almost as old as the art of
drawing. We had Punch and
Judy shows before women had
rights or jobs or were entitled
to hold property in their own
names.
WedlOck Will Win
These meek creatures were
depicted hurling things at
brow-beaten husbands, just as
comic strip couples do today.
The ancient institution of mar
riage has survived, nevertheless,
and will continue to survive, be-
cause it is our best bet for
homes, for the protection of
children. and for the state, as
it exists today.
Cheer up, all you prospective
brides and girls who worry.
When Ma" Hudson got tired
of writing checks, she walked
out. The rolling pin didn't
come into play.

CHAPTER XVIII


The bird of paradise was
greedy. Obtaining one bit of
rambutan, he would stand over
it, protectingly, while he spoke
his piece again, and secured a
second morsel-and so on, until
all the visible supply was in
his possession.
The nina used to watch this
performance from the back of
the cage, trying to figure out
why he never got any rambu-
tan. It was not given him be-
cause the fruits were hard to
secure and were not an 1ndls-
pensable part of his diet. But
the nina could not quite make
out why we were playing favor
ties. OF course, he had too
much respect for the Earl'S
fighting ability to do any open
thieving-for the paradise bird
is one of the most ruthless and
powerful battlers in the bird
world.
The Earl's vocal efforts re-
quired complete concentration.
Talking was a difficult job for
him, and when he started to
say "Hell-o-hozbzz" it required
every faculty he possessed to
accomplish his purpose.
It was his concentration that
gave the nina a chance at the
rambutan. Carefully watching
the Earl, Gabby would come up

BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NO, M. u
The secret of the popularity
of the Olympic games is the
universal human emotion of de-
light in seeing someone perform
an act with superb skill. The
basis of that emotion, I believe,
is envy. How I would like to
do that as easily and as accu-
rately," we say to ourselves.
A great master of billiards
makes the ball move for
ward to the exact spot he
wishes. then glide over to a
cushion, and then, apparently
defying all the rules of reflec-
ton and incidence, turn a cor
ner and move backwards to the
other exact spot required, and
then roll away an inch or two
SO as to be in position for the
next shot. How graceful and
how perfect it all is! How diff
ferent from our own clumsy eff
forts! And how easy it all
looks
The same feelings inspire us
when we watch a pole vaulter,
a supreme tennis player or a
hurdler.
How easy it looks, but what

practice lie behind it. Herbert
Spencer, the philosopher, was
proud of his game of billiards.
Once he played with an officer

badly. AS he put up his cue in
a disgruntled manner, the phi
losopher said: Sir, skill in bill
lizards is the mark of a gentle
man, but the amount you dis

youth"
Strength, we said at the be-
ginning, mere strength, is the
least important part of the
athletes equipment. Endur-
ance, coordination and skill
are all properties of muscle
and all can be and must be de-
veloped and trained just as
much as strength.
The question of skill is
merely a matter of practice.
And the differences are in,

itesimal to be measured. Sight,
hearing, balance, rapidity and
control of muscular contraction,

WASH H|NGTON FASHIONS
~ ANI IE--

So far we've only shown very
conservative coats, as represent
ative of the marvellous selection
that there is in the August
sales. But that's only half the
story, for there are some very
decidedly new things, some diff
ferent fashions for those of us
who are tired of the same gen.
eral type of collar, and of coats
that are not startingly different
from those of last fall and
spring. Most popular among
these new features are the cape
collars. They are to be ex-
pected, after the enormous sum-
mer run that capes had, and
they are just as lovely, if not
more so, now that they are out
in fur versions.
Cape Lengths Vary
Some capes are short, just
covering the shoulders, and
practically all of them can be
worn high, as a collar, or rolled
down over the shoulders, which
way looks much more formal.
Short-haired furs make most Of
the capes, though you see some
lovely ones divided in the back,
and made of two bands of long
haired furs, such as foxes. We
also have a few cape collars of
the fabric of the coat, edged in
wide band of long-haired fur,
so wide and luxurious that it
looks at first as if the whole
cape were of the fur. Then we
have cape collars like the one
sketched, so deep that it's al
most like jacket on the coat.
AS Separate Wrap
A practical suggestion is that
you can take this cape off the .
coat and wear it as a jacket,
or as an evening wrap, if you
wish, for it's only stitched on
by hand, and it would be easy
to have snappers so you could
take it on and off easily. The
coat is beige, but comes in dark
colors too, and the cape collar
is sable-dyed squirrel, a dark
rich brown. Notice how beau
tifully shaped the sleeves are,
coming to a point at the elbow.
This coat is only $69.75, in spite
of all its loveliness, and is
typical of many others ss
smart.

made an opening bid of /.
Club, third hand. B passed.
2 bid Heart, forcing Y to re-
spond. To show that he re-
quired very little side help and
no suit assistance, Y jumped
into 4-Clubs. z hesitatingly in
tended saying 5-Clubs. Through
a slip of the tongue he said
6-Clubs. B doubled.
The opening lead was, of
course, the Ace of Spades.
With a doubieton it is obliga-
tory to echo when your part
ner makes an opening lead OF
the K. unless the Ace shows
in dummy, but you never
should echo on an opening lead
of an Ace.
When A stupidity dropped his
nine on the Ace, of course B
thought it come-on, and he
next led his seven. To make an
added entry in dummy, Y
dropped his @ of Spades on the
first lead, thereby helping
along in BIS deception. A played
his two on the second trick, and
US K won.
You may be certain that Y
breathed more freely when the
second lead of spades was not
ruffed by A. Tricks three
through seven we're won with
leads of trumps. B followed
suit on the first four leads of
clubs. He discarded a spade
upon the next lead. Dummy
discarded three diamonds. A
had to make four discards. His
first two discards were the
seven and three of Diamonds,
showing B that A held the Ace
of that suit. OF course, the de-
clarer already knew that must
be true. B could not have the
Ace of Diamonds. and not lead
it before he attempted to give
his partner a spade trick. AS
third discard was the two
Hearts, and his fourth was the
live OF diamonds.
1t appeared to the declarer,
as if sight of the four hearts
in dummy was causing A to
save four hearts and two dia-
monds. If that were the case
B must hold, with his two re-
naming spades, three diamonds
and only one heart.
z could not afford to go down
one trick if he could avoid do
ing so, but he had better delib-
erately 60 down a single trick
than to go down two tricks, if
he happened to midjudge the
adverse holdings about the ia
BILE. In any event, z must not
lead out his last trump at that
time. If his half-formed con-
cluSions were correct, a lead Of
his last trump at the eighth
trick would not squeeze A, who
could still retain his Ace of Dia-
monds and his four hearts. The
time had come to lead hearts.
Y led his Three of Hearts and
the Nine was played by B. Un-
less that player was deliberately
attempting to deceive, either B
held no more hearts or he held
the Jack. If the latter we're the
case, heart finesse on the re-
turn lead would lose to the lone
Jack, and the Ace of Diamonds
would also win a trick, causing
Y to 60 down 900 points. Y
knew that the chances for B to
hold 5-4-2-2 division of cards
were to the chances that he
held a 5-4-3-1 division, as 4 is
to 5. He depended upon those
figures to fulfill his contract.
The Ace won the trick, and the
finesse of the Ten of Hearts en-
abled Y to discard his losing
diamond on z, fourth heart just
giving him Small Slam.

Card probabilities is almost
an unknown subject to the ma
jority of fine players. The de-
clarer of the hand shown be-
low knew something of that
subject. He had to choose be-
tween voluntarily going down
one trick on an inadvertent
over bid, or depending upon
his knowledge of card distribu-
tions where a mistake would
cost him two tricks, doubled

The matter of grip in the putting
stroke is important. Although stars
vary in grpping, they aim for one
thing, touch.
Jones achieves his putting touch by
using the grip as taught him by Wal
ter Travis. Travis placed the right
hand on the shaft and overlapped
with the first two fingers of the left
hand. Jones slightly modified this
grip by overlapping with the index
finger only. This is the reverse of
the grip used by Jones for the drive
and for iron shots. Gene SaraZen
switches to this grip for putting al
though he uses the interlocking grip
from tee to green.
Some stars place the index finger
down the shaft to increase the sensi-
tlveness OF touch. Others grip the
+, putter in the same manner as the
other clubs.
ONE THING THEY ALL DO: Ac-
| quire touch by gripping the club with
the fingers and not with the palm of
the hand.
