Can z Go Came at Clubs?

diamond. Lead the Jack of
Spades. If B declines to win
the trick (Which will be his
first one), force him to win the
next spade lead. Then he will
have to lead away from his
King-Jack-Six of Clubs, giving
2 two club tricks, and giving B
one club trick, which will be
his second and last trick won.
B might as we'll win the first
spade trick with his K, then
throw 2 in with his last re-
naming spade. In that case
2 must lead his Q of clubs,
throwing B in the lead with his
K of clubs, and forcing B to
lead his J-6 of clubs up to rs
A-10, giving 2 his contract of
five-odd.
There may be a variation in
the defense. For example, sup
pose that A does not allow Y to
win the second trick with the
j OF hearts; suppose that A
obllgeS Y to win with the Ace
because A puts up his @. That
Will not matter in the least to
q. He can still lead the 9 of
clubs through B, followed by
Us only spade, and in case
b splits equals" by covering
with his WV @, the Ace will
win the trick, then Y will ruff
rs lowest spade, just as he did
IN the first description. A re-
turn diamond lead will be
ruffed by 2, and he will throw
B into the lead, by leading a
spade up to BIS K. If B lead
back diamond, z will trump.
and the @ of clubs will force B
to win and lead up to rs club
tenace. 1t will not matter, if
Y does have to win the second
trick with his Ace of Hearts
winning with his j does not
really make any difference in
final results.
Another variation in defen.
SlVe play may be caused by
BIS refusal to split EQUALS"
when dummy'S lone spade is
led. In that case rs 10 will win
the trick. z will lead his Ace
OF Spades, winning the second
trick. Y will trump the third
trick, so that B can win only
single spade, regardless of
what he does.
Against perfect defense. A
will force Y to win the first
heart trick with the Ace. To
surely win five, Y must lead
his only spade before leading
clubs, to make certain that only
one spade trick can be lost COR
B might put his J on the first
club leaG to prevent Y from
leading spades through. Be
fore trumping a spade in dunn
my, z must lead his K of
hearts. Have dummy trump a
spade, and lead his last club.
If B does not cover, Y will
lead the j of hearts; then B
must ruff or z will discard his
last spade, if B ruffs, z will
have only one spade and one
club to lose. In either way he
must win five-odd.

For Cape Dresses

Every spring lots Of capes in
new shapes and variations wing
their way into dress fashions.
And this year their coming is
heralded with more acclaim
than usual, for capeS play such
an important part in the pres
ent wide-at.the-top silhouette.
Dignified New Simplicity
And to live up to this posi-
ton of prestige, capeS have
taken on a new and simple
dignity. No matter whether
they're tiny epaulettes or full
fledged collars, they fit Snugly
at the shoulders and their full
ness is always discreet. Usually
in tailored things they lie al
most severely flat; in dress
maker, afternoon or dinner
gowns they drape or ripple
gracefully, but in modification.
There are cape and cape eff
fects in all kinds of dresses
solid colored and printed
designed for street, afternoon
and evening. And the three
models we've illustrated, each
with a different cape, fit right
into each of these categories.
And their price certainly should
fit in with anyone's sense of
value. Any one of them costs
less than $40!
Keep Cool in Airy Sleeves
A clever way to make a street
dress cool and airy for warm
weather is to have the cape
idea take the form of sleeves.
And it couldn't be done to
better tailored perfection than
in the model on the left. Set
in to the neckline as these
sleeves are, they make a sort
of shoulder yoke effect at each
side. The buttons that you
see on top are metal and they
hint, very slightly, at a mill
tary feeling. So does the braid
that makes the tricky little
scarf and edges the suede belt,
too.
White on Dark or Dull Shades
The straightline skirt seems
even straighter than it is. It's
on account of pin tucks, that
most popular new detail!
They're grouped in rows and
run up and down. The fabric
of this dress is that grand
crepe called Jericho" that's
Semi-sheer but not transparent,
and so wonderfully cool. Black
and navy blue set off the white
braid nicely, but the dress is
good looking, too, in flame,
beige, rose, gray or grayish
blue.
Stop and Go Print
The center sketch an after
noon dress. also has cape
that acts as sleeves, but this
time it's a whole wide collar
that goes all around in back.
And isn't it quaint and attrac-
tive the way it crosses over
flchu-Style in front? The sash
continues from the ends of
the fichu, wraps around in back
and then ties in front. Though
contrasting in color, it matches
some accents in the wild flower
print.
And what an original print
it is! Looks like a border pat

Treat Your
Respect
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage
Nv REATRI

ANVN~ s%AANA @'ANNA
"Mother-in-law" is the very
dear mother of your wife or
your husband, as the case may
be. She can be an angel to
you. If she appears at times
to be very trying-whose fault
is it?
A young married man, COM
ing home across wintry seas
from a visit to his mother on
the continent of Europe, brings
this unusual story. Telling his
mother all about his charming
wife and lovely children, he en-
larged as we'll on the perfections
of his mother-in-law, to point
where his mother was nettled.
She felt bound to say: II sup
pose this lady is human enough
to have some faults as Well?"
Troubles With "In-Laws"
And 1 know of a case in
which the wife of an officer in
the navy, while he is on sea
duty, has not only her own
mother but his mother as we'll
share the home. They make a
happy household and the rea-
son is not far afield. They are
all women of understanding and
of many interests. They waste
no time minding each others
business. If anything, there is
a petty rivalry between the
older ladies as to which one
should attend to the chores of
the little household. They di-
vide the weeks between them.
With these outstanding cases
before us we wonder what is
the basis for so much of this
talk and cheap jeSts aimed at
mothers-in-laW, and 1 am led
to think it largely is exaggera-
ton.
We hear about it when there
is trouble in a household. If
there is an elderly unattached
woman around it may be easy
to blame it on her. That is
from the outside.
We don't hear of the millions
of true angels in the home
whose services cover a day of
"a hours.
Keep Your Illusions
But from the inside of your
own consciousness, Mr.. Uncon-
vinced Husband, can't you re-
call when this lady was in her
prime, the hostess in a home
where you received such charm
ing hospitality? Can't you re-
call the flowers you sent her
and the many compliments you
paid? True, she was younger
then. So was your wife. Are
they the only ones that have
grown older and perhaps dis
illuSioned? Keep your illusions,
and with them preserve your
happiness.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
FeIicitatiOn and Coincidence

Dear Mrs. BeecKman: WonI
you please help me? I have
lived out of town for several
years, thereby losing contact
with my most intimate friends.
Today I read of the engage
ment of one with whom I had
shared many secrets, and I was
surprised and grieved to read
that her father had died, appar-
emily over a year ago.
Of course I shall send this
friend a note wishing her hap
piness, but 1 feel that note Of
coincidence might not be appro-
pirate at this time. Since I
know the family so well, I feel
that I should say something. I
thought that perhaps I could
send some flowers to the
mother, with a brief message
of sympathy. A note sent
through the mail would have to
be longer than a card enclosed
with flowers. Do tell me what
to do, and what to say on the
card, and I assure you that you
will have my heartfelt thanks.
M.
I think, as you do, that it
would seem rather inappropri-
ate to combine message of fe-
licitationS on the engagement,
and an expression of condo
lence. I suggest that you write
two notes to the engaged friend,
one a letter of fluctuations, tell.
ing her about seeing the an.
nouncement of her engagement
in the newspaper, and wishing
her every happiness in the
world. Then continue your let
ter in a chatty manner, per-
hapS reminiscing a bit, as it
would be natural to do in such
a letter.
Then write another note, tell
ing your friend of your surprise
at rea ding Of her fathers
death, and assuring her that
of course you would have writ
ten before if you had known
about this. Then tell her of
your sympathy.
Your plan for sending flowers
and an expression of sympathy
to the mother is also in excel
lent taste. and I highly approve
of this. But I do fell that you
shouldn't enclose card with
a message on it. Rather write
a real letter of sympathy ex-
planning to the mother that
you did not know of her hus-
bands death, but that you
have just read of it, and wish
her to know of your sympathy
and understanding. A card at
this late date couldn't contain
sufficient explanation and mes
sage. And you write such an
unusually charming letter that
I want these friends to have
the happiness that they will
inevitably get from a letter
from you. CYour letter to me
thoroughly enjoyed, you see,
and thank you for your kind
and friendly wishes and greet

We must keep on preaching
the gospel of ricketts,. In spite
of the completeness of our
knowledge of how to prevent it,
the disease still occurs with
great frequency. To reduce it's
incidence can be accomplished
only by educating all parents to
the necessity of eternal Vigi-
lance.
Rickets is disease only Of
children. And that is another
reason we must keep on work
ing at it. The children are our
most important assets. We hope
the next generation will turn
out better than ours. And their
health is in our hands. They
are not responsible. Let's see
to it that they have strong;
straight bodies and good bones.
Very largely that means they
must be free from riCketS.
One of the dangers is that
ricketts, is so inSidious in it's
onset. There is no sudden
change in the health of the
baby. No sharp pain, to call
attention to the disease. Just
gradually increasing listlesSness
and disinclination to move
around or play.
1t is more especially than any
other disease a spring condition.
Every baby, every child, should
be examined in the spring months
to see whether there is any
trace of ricketts,. 1t is lack of
sunshine that brings it on and
works at it during the winter,
and in the spring the effects
show up.
The earliest definite signs are

A heritage of cares,
