Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Unhappy Situation


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The man 1 am in love with
and who is in love with me
broke our engagement because,
as he said, we would be unable
to marry for so many years to
come that it would be unfair
to me. I have a good job and
wanted to keep it so that we
could marry, but he will not
listen to this arrangement. And
yet he will not let me alone.
Weeks and weeks pass and I
hear nothing of him, then he
comes to see me and is so ut
terly miserable that it breaks
my heart all over again. What
course would you advise in my
case? VIRGINIA.
The man should realize that
it is very unkind of him to
continually reopen this question
and make you so unhappy. II
he is unable to marry and re-
fuses to allow an arrangement
whereby you could contribute
to the support of the home,
think that the best thing to do
would be to break off definitely
with him and MAKE an end

design is in black, blue or the

CHAPTER XIII

'Mr. Dwight asked me to
bring you to one of his parties"
remarked Lynn, subsiding.
He did? Well" said Jennie,
singing the bone with accuracy
into the scrap basket, that's
the best news I've heard since
the stock market crashed and
show girls lost their Sables.
How about catching a little
sleep?" But it was long time
before Lynn slept. Jennie's
idiocies were barbed. Absurd,
impossible to think that Dwight
was personally interested in
her, Lynn Harding. Why
should he be, with all the
world from which to choose?
She liked him, frankly enough.
But she hadn't a significant
thought for anyone but Tom.
Perhaps she'd been foolish to
think this evening so import
ant. 1t had gone to her head
q little. 1t had been so differ
ent from anything she had
ever experienced. If Dwight
had made pretty speeches to
her it was because his profeS-
sion was partly speech-making,
and because he said just such
things to every woman he met.
Tomorrow night she would see
Tom again and tell him about
the party, and for a little
while she would remember it
with pleasure. and then she'd
forget it; and that was that.
She smiled, and suddenly fell
fathoms deep into sleep.
Blocks away, David Dwight
was walking about his library.
He had never felt less like
sleep in his life.
A pretty girl.
He Knew Women
But he had known girls, and
women, far prettier.
An intelligent girl.
That didn't mean much,
either; he had known women
Of signal brilliance. And after
O. while they, too, had bored
him.
But little Lynn-there was
something tremendously ap-
pealing about her; something
fresh and radiant and un-
touched; something quantity
serious. But she laughed with
Spontaneity, and her eyelids
crinkled and there was an un-
expected dimple in her left
cheek.
He hadn't been so interested
in a girl in-monthS. Or was
1t years?
What about this sex busi-
ness, anyway? he thought
vaguely. Stupid or ugly or
beautiful or mysterious, de-
pending upon how you viewed
it and when you viewed it. Be-
fore and after, like the adver-
tisements. Indefinable, no mat
ter how much print was vast
ed on it. You met someone

z made an opening bid of
only Two No Trumps. Any
system of bidding considers
such a declaration as only a
strong invitation for partner to
respond. Of course Y could
not answer such an invitation
and contracting ceased before
reaching game.
The opening lead was the
j of hearts. The declarer'S
queen won the trick. B dis
carded the 8 of spades.
Dummy's 10 of diamonds won
the first one of a series Of
five tricks in that suit. B
followed suit throughout, but
A had to make five discards.
First of all, A echoed in clubs,
by playing his S, followed by
the 3. Then A let go his 2
and of hearts, retaining a
single winner of that suit, in
case the declarer led hearts
three times. For his fifth dis
card A dropped the lower Of
his two spades.
Having won six straight
tricks, z picked up her seventh
and eighth tricks by leading
her Ace and K of spares. The
second lead of spades forced
A to choose between discard
ing his last heart that could
win a trick, or letting go his
j of clubs; he let go the j.
z won her ninth and tenth
tricks with the K of hearts,
followed by the Ace. B had to
discard two clubs. z had kept
track of the adverse cards. She
knew that A held the 10 of
hearts, that would win a single
trick in that suit. z also knew
that A held the 40 of clubs,
and that A was void Of spades
and diamonds. There was a
chance for an end play that
must net z one more trick.
If z was to lead a club from
dummy, after she had won her
10 tricks, A must win the last
three tricks, but if z led a
heart, A could win only one
trick in that suit, and one club
trick, having to give z the
thirteenth trick, provided the
declarer had rightly read the
fall of the cards.
Having nothing to lose by
such a lead, and probably be-
ing unable to gain a trick
thereby, at the eleventh trick
z led her last heart. A won
the trick; then as z had sur
missed, A led his Ace Of clubs,
followed by the @, giving z
the thirteenth trick, after A
had won the eleventh and
twelfth tricks.
OF course z was mortified at
having won eleven tricks, upon
a contract of 2-No Trumps. She
let a game die in her hand,
because she was not willing
either to bid a game at no
trumps, or employ a demand
bid of diamonds. Counting
eight positive tricks at no
trumps, with two added posi-
bilities to win the ninth trick
in her own cards, rs best
opening bid would have been
3 No-Trumps.

Saws He's Too Good for Her
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS Fh4Nr A<A'
I'm in love with a girl with
whom I went for eight months.
We broke up last August and
she is now going with a former
boy friend. Sometimes we go
out together, and 1 keep asking
her if she will try to forget the
past and start all over again;
but she keeps telling me I'm
too good for her, and that l
should give her time to think
it over. 1 don't know what to
do. I love her so much I do
nothing but think of her.
ANTHONY.
What's the reason this girl
tells you you're too good for
her? Is she wild, or is it just an
excuse to keep yuo at distance
and not put you back on the
old friendly footing? You don't
tell me enough. If she's what
is known as wild" 1 believe I'd
take her at her word and let
things stand as they are.

Don't let an ace die in the

It means, cash your ace be-

equally important fact for a
bidder to keep in mind; if he
holds game in his own hand,

Mark Twain Boy
Play Saturday
at National

When "Huckleberry Finn" is
given its first professional stage
presentation at the National The
ater, Saturday morning, Decem-
ber =, it will be interesting to
compare it, as a play, with the
others recently developed against
the Mississippi River background.
Although It will be produced
primarily for children, as the
second performance given here by
the Children'S Theater Company
of New York, there are likely to
be many adults among the audi
ence, eager to renew acquaint-
ance with Mark Twain's incom.
parable characters, Huck, and
Tom, Niger Jim and Aunt Sally
Phelps. All of these, as in the
story, will move through extra.
ordinary adventures against the
background Of the lazy, powerful,
and enchanting river.
"Huckleberry Finn" has been
given a special dramatization by
Clare Tree Major, director Of the
Children'S Theater Company. The
members of that company are
all professional adults: Harrison
Loomis will be "Huck," Joseph
Curtin, TOM" while others Of
the cast are Josie Heather (who
received her early training in
Sara Bernhardt's company, Phil
ippa Bevans, Phyllis White. John

was one Of this seasons big dis
appointments as a play. It never
reached washington. Yet those
who have seen the picture tell
me it ranks with the best turned
out for Ronald Colman. I loved
the play despite its Indifferent
success.
"Whistling In the Dark" was
another big play disappointment
on the road this season. IT. folded
up in Boston. Hollywood is max
ing it as a picture right now.
Don't bet a dime it will not be
a winner.
bad Girl" was gigantic failure
as a Broadway play. AS a picture
it was the prize money celluloid
turned out by Fox in 1881 besides
making James Dunn and Sally
