legged furniture, pale muralS,
immense cut-glass chandeliers,
and many servants. Lily Lou
never got them quite straight,
and Mailman didn't even try
to. She had rented them with
the apartment. What little
managing there was was done
by the rather silent Susanne.
Silent with Lily Lou and Nahl-
man, loquatious with the serv-
ants. Lily Lou envied her her
gift of languages.
French Terrible
"All Swiss speak many Ian
guages," Susanne said. Lily Lou
wished she had been born in
Switzerland. instead of Wood
lake. She knew now that Gwin
had been right, her French r'as
terrible. She couldn't under
stand the French, and the
French could not understand
her. Mailman, born in Phila-
delphia, educated in the public
schools there some 35 years
before, spoke French like a ma
tive.
There were times when Lily
Lou thought wistfully of Gwin
and Maxine, and even Mrs.
Manchester and Wanda Pills
bury and the artists. None had
bothered to write. Probably
they cared not a thing about
her, but now that they were
distant they seemed nearer to
her than Mailman would ever
bother to be.
Inspired Teacher
Whenever she did she cried,
and it upset Mailman to see
her red-eyed and depressed. If
there was to be any tempera-
ment, any display of feeling, it
was to be done by Mailman
herself. So Lily Lou, mindful
of her own good, kept her
thoughts from home as much
as she could, and put her
whole heart into the tasks that
Mailman assigned her.
Mailman was an inspired
teacher. But she was an in
different and irregular one.
Sometimes there was a two

dummy's Ace, then spread his
cards for the remaining tricks,

Note how differently things
would have turned out had A
bid Three Spades over BIS
Three Hearts. The latter
would have bid Four Spades.
The opening lead would have
been the Four Of Diamonds.
z would have won the trick,
and the return lead of the
Queen of Diamonds would have
fallen to the declarer's king.
Having eight trumpS in the
declaring hand and dummy, A
would have started off with
rounds of winning spades. All
opposing trumps would have
fallen in three leads, leaving
one trump in dummy and one
trump with the declarer.
Then A would have led his
K of clubs, giving z one trick
in that suit. No matter what
z led back, all the remaining
tricks must have been won by
ABB. The only possible two
tricks that w could have won,
either at spades or at clubs,
would have have been with the
ace of diamonds and the ace
of clubs. Winning five-odd and
game is quite a different mat
ter from having to go down
one trick on a bid Of 3-No
TrumpS.
Suit makes ordinarily are
safer than no-trump declara-
tons. Two-suitors in partic-
ular are better makes than no
trumps. Usually even a poor
suit make is to be chosen in
preference to a no-trump with
a singly stopped adverse suit.

The total number Of calor1eS
is less than half enough for
a 150-pound man at moderate
activity. For a rapid reducing
diet this is satisfactory.
The protein intake is very
low, but for the short period
the diet lasts no great harm
can come from that.
In general, from a nutri-
tional standpoint, I should say
the diet is satisfactory. It
could only be recommended
for a short squirt, on account
of the low protein, but that is
what it is recommended for.
It's worst feature is it's
deadly mcnotony. The reducer
consumes Al half grapefruits.
Only seven meals are without
a half grapefruit. Eggs and
head lettuce are frequently re-
peated. "A large T-bone steak"
appears three times and broiled
steak twice. Surely a resource

other ways of supplying fruit,
green vegetables and protein.

Ace, and returned the Q which
A took with his last diamond.
A saw that he was in a hole.
Even if he at once took his
four spade tricks, and risked
the heart fineSse, he must let
in his opponents after he had
won seven tricks. Then they
would run off three diamond
tricks, which, together with the
one diamond trick already won
and the one club trick that
they must win, would give
them a total of at least five
tricks plus one heart trick.
This would put A down two
tricks. If he led clubs at once
he would save a heart trick,
giving opponents only four dia-
monds and one club trick, so
that he would go down only a
single trick.
A led his King of Clubs. He
knew that z must hold the
ace to have a thoroughly sound
opening bid. z won the trick.
Then he took his one diamond
trick, while Y won two more
tricks in that suit. Y led back

That A would not dare venture

absolutely necessary. AS A

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 81 years of age and
married three years. There are

I was in love with man

the marrying type-young, good
looking, and with every woman
he knew in love with him. I
knew that my husband, whom
I shall call "B," loved me and
wanted to marry me, but
loved "a" with all my heart.

of this affair with "a" so
told "B" that I did not love
him, and of my love for "a"
I played fair, kept nothing
back. "B" still wanted to
marry me, insisting love for
him would come later. Funny,
isn't it, but I thought it would.
I married him because
wanted the security of a home
and babies.

I saw "a" again. I forgot B."
everything for just few short
hours of happiness. 'B" found
out that I was meeting "a"
and since then we have been
living in the same house al
most as strangers. I still carry
on this affair. "a" does not
know just how deep my feeling
for him is. I'm afraid to tell
him-afraid of myself and my
love.
Miss Fairfax, the last three
years have been unbearable.
Should I get a divorce and find
what happiness I can with

behind the responsibility of a
wedding ring? M. o.
OF course you have been
miserable for the last three
years. we are always mlSeT-
able when we do things that
we know, deep down in our
hearts, are unfair. Another
reason for your misery is that
you do not trust GA" He is
not a real man, and I have
not the slightest notion that
he would marry you even if
you did secure a divorce from
'B." Why not break with him
now, entirely, and tell ''B" that
you mean to begin to show
some appreciation for his kind
ness and forbearance with you?
You have never been fair to
him. Try doing your part for
a, little while, and I believe
that life will have a different
meaning for you.

Some days that I have known,
And only take them out at times
When I am quite alone.
I take them out, these days I

The unforgotten bits of time
That brought my hours of sun.

So I hold fast the memory

CHAPTER SO

There was time, much later,
when Lily Lou was to love
Paris. A Paris of lights, and
laughter, of gayety and beauty.

the Bois, the great French
dressmakers, with their exotic
manikins, their breath-taklng

eraderie on the left bank OF
the Seine.
But she did not love it now.
The cold of a wet November
chilled her to the bone. The
Grand Hotel Grivy was an an.
cient vault of a place back OF
the Opera, with sagging floors,
damp smelling velvet hangings'
and vast, unclean beds.
Hunting a Bath
"With bath" she read on the
letterheads. But she never
found the bath. Nobody could
tell her where it was, or how
to make the necessary reserva-
tions for hot water. On the
second day, determined to track
down that bathroom, she wan,
dered from door to door ana
from floor to floor, ad finally
on the top floor she found a
door with no number. Boldly
she opened it. A bearded gen
tlernan of large proportions, at
tired in a red flannel under
vest and sagging blue trousers
was sitting on the edge, OF a
bed. eating bread and cheese;
He looked up sleeplly, ana
slowly showed his teeth IN a
broad, welcoming smile.
Lily Lou banged the door
shut without even stopping to
beg his pardon, and fled down
three flights Of winding, mar
row stairs to her own room.
At the table d'hote that eve
ming she hardly dared look up
from her plate. She was afraid
Of seeing the bearded man.
When Madame Mailman ar
rived, not on Friday, but on
Monday, at the Ritz, Lily Lou
moved over there, and had a
cot in the dressing room ad-
Joining Nahlman'S boudoir.
Many Callers
At least it was warm there,
and there was a bath. Susanne
Coin, the maid, bobbed in and
out, silent and efficient. She
was more company than Nahl-
man. Mailman was always
dressing to go out somewhere,
and someone was always call
ing to see her. Men mostly.
Men who wore striped trousers
and long-tailed coats, and
handed stick and gloves to
Susanne as they came in the
door. But a few of the callers
were women. Tall, angular wo-
men, mostly. Women with black
gowns, a great many pearls
and diamonds, and immense
fur coats.
After a week or two at the
Ritz they moved to a large
apartment in the Boulevard
Housman, out near 1.-The Arch
Of Triumph" Here Lily Lou
had a small room Of her own,
and the use of the piano when
Mailman was not using it,
which was not often.

ing, including a black veil, when
ones husbands mother dies, or
is it proper just to wear a
black dress until after the
funeral? H.
It is not necessary to wear
the mourning veil, even for the
funeral, but one should wear a
black costume. After the fu-
neral, the black dress might
be relieved with touches of
white, for a little while, say
for two months. The wearing
of mourning these days is so
casual that almost it resolves
itself into everyone doing what
she or he wishes.

|RALIBUT BOATS TIME. TO STAY IN PORT
Fishing Vessel Owners As sociation Curtails
 Activities

KETCIIlKAN-Owing to the de pressed condition of the halibut market, the Advisory Board of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association in Seattle. consisting of Harold E. Lokken, manager; P. B Gill, sec- retary, of the Deep Sea Fisher mems Union, and Edward Gun ningham, manager of the Pacific Marine Supply Company, has urged vessels to stop fishing for a spell, declares the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Photographed To Ketchikan
 The decision of the Board was telegraphed by the Seattle Vessel Owners Association to Thor Hen ricksen, the agent in Ketchikan, and is as follows:
 "HaliIbut Production Control Board requests all vessels to stay in six days each, effective immediately. Day of unloading counts as first day.
 How To Figure Layup
 "Layup does not include time used going from port of sale to port of outfit. Thus boats that sold March can leave March 10. Please keep record of boats and dates of layin. This action effective for one round of fleet. This action taken on representation of buyers that time until April 1 needed for disposal of frozen stocks. Six days delay will bring boats in April l."
 Cooperation Is Promised
 J. E. Berg, manager of the Alaska Halibut F'isflermen's Co-op- erative Company, stated that all of the vessels belonging to the company, whether members of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association or not, would abide by the decis- ion of the Advisory Board, and would cooperate in every possible manner with view of bettering market conditions.
 Vessels of the Juneau halibut fleet are not associated with the Fishing Vessel Owners Association but virtually all of them have sus- pended operations for an indefinite period. Some of them have been stripped of their hahbut gear, and may not fish for halibut again this spring.

TORRANCE HERE ON LAST MAIL
 TRIP OF SEASON
Army Vessel Will Leave April , for Seattle
 for Overhaul

With a party of Arrny officers and men from Chilkooot Bar racks, including Col William c. Miller. Commandant of the Bar racks, and several residents of Haines, the United States Army boat Torrance arrived in Juneau last evening. She will return to the Barracks tomorrow morning. The primary purpose of her visit is to get mail from the south that will come here on the Admiral Evans tonight. The Army vessel during the winter has been com- ing to Juneau regularly to get mail arriving here from the south on the Evans. The latter craft has not been calling at Haines.
 Under the summer schedules of the Alaska Steamship and Pacific Steamship Companies, effective next week, Haines will be port of call every week by vessels from the south and the mail visits of the Fornance will be discontinued after her present trip. She may come here on other missions, however. She is scheduled to leave Chilkoot Barracks April 5 for Seattle to undergo general overhaul.
