The Rhymins
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
You Who Have Prayed

YOU VINO nave tTaycU
You who have prayed until your
life becomes
A shining chalice for the wine
Of prayer;
You who have prayed while
Earth's insiStent drums
Flung futile fury on the cring-
ing air;
To you alone the fluent years
reveal
Some measure Of the peace
which passion bars;
On you alone are laid the Hands
that heal;
You hear the Voice that
speaks beyond the stars.
You are the Beggar with the
Yellow Bowl;
You are the Penitent on bleed
ing feet,
The Saint who bargains for an
others soul,
The Sinner who has learned
that tears are sweet.
I search you as I pass, and I
divine
The secret in your eyes you read
in mine!

The majority of players in
rs position would have made an
opening bid of Diamond. Had
z done this, A would have bid
1-Spade, possibly he would have
used a strong invitation bid Of
2-Spades, but in any event w
would have encountered oppoSi-
ton that might have run as high
as 4-Spades, which neither Y nor
z would have dared to overcall.
Had they overc&lled they would
have been defeated. If ABB had
played the hand at 4SpadeS
they might have fulfilled their
contract or they might not have
done so; the result would have
depended upon what Y did. If
Y led two rounds of hearts, A
would have ruffed the second
lead. Then he would have lost
only one heart, one club, and
one diamond. easily going game.
The C-ntract could have been
defeated two tricks in case Y
led his lone diamond, and then
ruffed a return lead. Provided
Y next led q club he could have
ruffed a second lead of dia-
monds. These four tricks plus
one heart trick would have de-
feated the contract by two
tricks, but going down two
tricks, not vulnerable, would
have been a small price to pay
for saving the first game.
Instead of making an open.
ing bid of diamond. z bid
1-No Trump, which A passed.
Y bid 2-HeartS, B passed. z
jumped to 4-Hearts. Now the
bidding was too high for A, and
he passed.
B made an opening lead of
his fourth-beSt spade, and ABB
won two tricks in that suit. Not
daring to lead back either
minor suit, A led his lone
trump as certain to do no harm
that the declarer could not do
himself. Y had too many los
ing clubs to venture pulling
trumps. He led a club. finessed
dummy'S Q, and lost his third
and last trick. A led back a
club. removing dummy's last
card of that suit. The declarer
led rs Ace of diamonds, fol-
lowed by a low diamond, which
he ruffed. Y led a club, for fear
that A might be able to trump
also. All opposing clubs were
down, and Y held in his hand
only trumpS and two long clubs.
Dummy'S @ of hearts was led,
followed by the five of hearts,
which Y overlook with his Ace,
dropping the last opposing
trump; then he spread his
hand, claiming the balance of
the tricks.
Most bridge players have not
become contract minded as yet;
they continue auction strategy.
At auction A should pass the
1-No TrumpS. He could later on
bid 2-Spades over Y's 2-Hearts.
But at contract the bidding of
strong hands does not stop
short of game. Consequently
at contract it is better for A to
bid 2-Spades, directly over l'No
Trump, to show his great
strength, before Y can shift the
make. Otherwise bidding may
go game before A has another
chance to show great strength
to partner.

Advice for
LoveIorn
Youth
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going with my
friend for over a year. On my
birthday he bought and paid
for a muskrat coat. Should I
accept such a costly gift if I
am not engaged to him and
have no intention Of marrying
for a long time yet? 1 like
him better than I do anyone
else, but I am very skeptical
about taking anything from
any man. I have refused to
take it and he seems quite an
cry and says other men give
their sweethearts more expen-
sive gifts than fur coats. MY
inner self tells me it Is wrong
to take such a present. What
am to do? I do not want to
hurt him. WORRIED.
It's not considered the thing
to take such an expensive pres
ent as a fur coat from young
man If you're not engaged to
him. The young man is un-
doubtedly generous, warm-
hearted and admires you very
much and in his enthusiasm has
overlooked the fact that until a
promise of marriage has been
exchanged, gifts are supposed
not to be too lavish.

CHAPTER 40

The Lansings, as a family,
were forever afterward to date
all events as before or after
mother died.
For years certain scenes we're
to be written on Lily LOUIS heart,
to flash on and off in her mem
ory, like isolated stills from
moving picture.
She had never realized that
her mother was beautiful. She
had just been mother, a little
tired, little shabby, altogether
beloved.
Now she was to remember her,
wrapped in the majesty of her
isolation. Her hands serene on
her breast, her dark, silver
streaked hair brushed back from
her beautiful white forehead in
an unfamiliar manner. Her
lovely mouth, too often tighten
ed into a worried line in life,
younger and infinitely more gen.
tie now. All the tired wrinkles
gone. All the absorbed interest
in her children gone. The soul,
the motherly soul of her, fled
away. Just the clay of her
body, the body that for years
nobody had noticed was beauti-
full, left.
Certain other things impress
ed themselves almost as poign.
antly in Lily LOUIS memory.
The round eyes of Bess' three
children, sitting in a row on the
table that somebody had pushed
in at the last moment, their fat
legs straight out before them.
The drone of the minister's
voice. The heavy fragrance of
florists flowers, just a little past
their prime.
The little procession of cars,
one limousine, half a dozen
flivvers, winding down the un-
paved road, past willow trees
and the dry creekbed, to the
Protestant Cemetery.
At Home Again
Two workers who waited, blue
Shirted, shovels at their feet, in
the shade of a magnolia tree
near the LanSing'S family plot,
for the last words to be over,
SO they could pile back the
earth.
And when it was decentl.'

to the house, the women'S voices

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
The Wedding Hour

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Is it proper to have two
bridesmaids and no maid OF
honor?
2. Does the bride ever give
the groom a wedding gift?
3. Is $50 a proper time for
an evening wedding? Or is 4
O'Clock a better time for a we'd
ding? M.
1 Yes. A bride may plan to
have just the number and kind
of attendants that she wishes.
Two bridesmaids, walking to-
gether, and no chief attendant
is quite all right. The duties
of the attending to the brides
train, if she is formally dressed,
and to her bouquet or glove, If
she has to wear gloves, may be
assigned to one Of the brides
maids.
2. Yes. very often the bride
gives the groom a wedding
present.
3. Five-thirty is still daytime,
and so a wedding held at this
time would be a day wedding.
Seven o'clock is really the
earliest hour for an evening
wedding.
Four O'Clock is the most popu-
lar. and probably the most con.
venient, hour for a wedding.
The hours of $50, 6 and $50
are probably the most incon-
venient hours, if the wedding
is to be a formal one, and,
therefore, will make the guests
wonder what kind of clothes

also, if I should address the

AS soon as you can you
should write a note of thanks
to this friend, thanking him
for his kind letter and for his
thoughtfulness in sending you
the box of candy. In this case
the letter would be addressed
to the man only. II you know
his wife, you would naturally
in the letter send greetings and
best wishes to her. If you DO
not know her, it would be gra-
cious and courteous for you to
say that you are looking for

RED LODGE VOTE
ELECTS SIMMONS
TO LEGISLATURE
Sheriff Contest Decided by
the Results in Sage
Creek Precinct

Reports from the election in the
Sage Creek precinct, last of the
20 to be heard from, assured Wal
ter Lamport's victory in the close
race for the sheriff's office. H. A
Simmons, candidate for the state
legislature, was assured of a plur-
atty over M. F. Emmett when the
votes in three Red Lodge wards
were counted late last Wednesday
evening.
Mr.. Simmons, from all precincts
except the Red Lodge wards and
Sage Greek, had gathered ITO less
votes than M. F. Emmett, his
Democratic opponent. Votes cast
in the second ward of Red Lodge
brought him closer to a tie, how
ever, and the first and third ward
polls brought him victory. His
margin in 20 precincts is 205.
1t was possible that returns
from Sage Creek precinct would
swing the balance against Walter
Lamport, Republican candidate for
sheriff who still retained a lead
after a heavy vote was counted
for Jack McFate in Red Lodge.
Leading by 81 votes before returns
came in from Sage Creek, LAM
port retained a lead Of 20 after

HUNDREDS HAVE
RECEIVED HELP
FROM AID BODY
Applicants Are Advised
Not to Conceal Any
Personal Assets

Report Of F. /. Johnson, secre-
tary of the Carbon County Emer-
gency Relief Committee, to the
governor of Montana says that
237 families received aid from the
organization during October, the
relief values, including donations
of Red Cross flour, amounting to
$2,867.34.
Mr.. Johnson, continuing a care
full administration of relief, has
recorded the ministration to 800
families to date-about 1000 in
dividuals in the county.
While men who have drawn re-
lief supplies r being given oc-
cupation on public projects, check
ups r being made by the Com
mittee for assurance that only the
deserving ones are being benefit
ed. Instances have come to light
showing that some men have Sc
cured relief while in the possess
sion of fairly comfortable per-
sonal funds and securities, in spite
of the Committees rule that all
personal securities must be dc
clared upon application for relief.
"All applicants are advised to
read carefully the application
form which they sign," says Mr..
Johnson. "This application au-
thorizes the Committee to investi-
gate finances of all applicants.
Concealed assets, such as building
and loan stock or postal savings
will spell bad luck for the person
who fails to declare them in draw
ing free supplies from the relief
organization. We are anxious to
help everyone who stands in need,
but we demand the courtesy of
honesty on the part of all appli-
cants."
From the list of 800 men who
have availed themselves of the
Committees help, the county has
already drawn about 20 for assist
ance in road work. County Sur
