There are Summer girls and Winter girls
Girls for Springtime, girls for Fall;
Girls for morning, noon, and night;
Girls for sorrow-and delight!
But the girls with Personality
Are rare.
Beauty may be theirs or not
Makes no difference what they've got,
So long as Personality
Is there.
Tall girls-short girls;
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
With eyes Of brown and eyes of blue
And eyes of every other hue
But the girls with Personality
Are few.
Men drink the health of all these girls
And toast their charms in wine;
So, let them drink-but not for me
There's just one toast that's mine.
I'll drink not to the rank and file,
Nor to the beauty, shape, or style
OF many-or of few;
But PN drink to PersCnGlity-
And YOU!

Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

Shirtmaker frocks, after sew
eral seasons of only partial
recognition, have now come into
their own, and are acclaimed
by all authorities as cne Of the
summers SmarteSt dresses. Per
haps it's because this promises
to be more SportS-like season
than we've had for some time,
and because the clothes that
are tailored seem to look best
in such a season. At any rate,
Shirtmaker, or ShirtWaist frocks,
as some people call them, are
quite the Smartest thing you
can find for golf, for country
wear, and sometimes in town
if you have a mind to be sports
like.
Although they are very SIM
pie, they have nearly all been
designed in Paris, and perhaps
that is the reason they are so
good-looking. Patou brought
out the first when we first
raised our waistlines, and now
most of the couturiers make
them for their private clientele.
The one sketched is copied from
q Schiaparelli model, which no
doubt accounts for its trim,
good lines, for Schiaparelli
makes some of the very best
sports clothes. Checks and
stripes are usually used for
them, though theirs no rule
against a plain material, Of a
Self-Striped silk.
Silk pique in navy and white
is the material Of the shirt
maker frock sketched. The big
white IS" clips are typical of
Schiaparelli, and the clever
collar may be worn down, or
tied into a neat knot, as shown.
The short sleeves give enough
freedom for a good swing in
golf, and the pleated skirt has
ample width. A touch Of white
cotton pique shows at the edges
of the belt. This same dress,
which is priced $3.50 by the
way, may be found in brown
and white or green and white
too. 1t comes only in misses
sizes. but there are others for
women Of larger proportions.
One splendid dress is Of shan

Playing With Fire

DEAR MISS FAIRFAA:
While in a local hospital I
became friendly with a young
inferno. He was so kind at all
times that I loved him as I
hoped I could love a brother.
After I left the hospital we
continued friendly. He visited
my home, and we both enjoyed
this very much. But when he
finished training and left for
a Southern city was heart
broken, for I found I loved
him, not as as a sister. I am
sorry about this for I know it
is wrong, as I am married.
My husband is cold,hearted and
does not seem to love me. The
doctor made love TO me, but
my husband is not that type.

One Heart, that Y jumped into
Four Hearts, ending contract
ing. Of course, z should have
gone game, but the play Of hts
opponents enabled him to do
still better.
AS opening lead was sound;
he led his Queen of Spades.
Dummy won the trick. When
B played the 5, z put up his 7.
to make it appear as if B was
starting an echo, to show pos
session of the missing King.
That play started AS downfall.
1t was an even chance which
way Hearts should be fineSsed.
rs wrong guess as to the proper
method Of playing the hand
brought him only good luck.
The King of Hearts was led
from Dummy; then the Nine
was finessed on the return
lead, losing to AS Queen.
Thinking that B held the miss
ing King of Spades, A led back
q low card of that suit, where
as he should have led trump.
Declarer won the low spade
lead with his Ten. He led back
his Two of Spades and used
Dummy's last Heart to ruff the
trick. Return was obtained to
the declarer's hand by leading
Dummy's lowest Club. winning
the trick with rs Ace.
The Ace of Hearts pulled the
last opposing trump, giving the
declaring side six Of the seven
tricks played, and leaving six
good tricks in the joint hands
of w; there were the two
top trumps and the high spade
in rs hand, and three top
clubs in Dummy; upon the
third lead of Dummy's clubs,
the declarer could discard his
lone diamond, giving him six
odd, or two tricks more than
his game contract.
When z guessed incorrectly
which way he should take his
trump finesse, it would have
been possible for A to save
two tricks, but in any event
he should have saved one
trick, by leading back a trump
to prevent Dummy from ruff
ing a spade. Had A dared lay
down his top diamond before
leading back a heart to remove
Dummy's last trump, ABB
would have won one heart
trick, one spade trick and one
diamond trick. In any event
z could have discarded one
losing spade trick upon Us
long club.
In case 2 had happened to
guess which way to take his
trump finesse, he could have
made a Small Slam, without
being kicked upstairs" To
win a Small Slam proceed as
follows: Win the first spade
trick with Dummy's Ace. Lead
US last Spade; win with rs
K. Lead the Jack of Hearts.
If A puts up the Queen. win
with Dummy's King. then win
a second trump lead in the
declaring hand. If A refuses
to put up his Queen Of
Hearts, stop leading trumps.
Lead a spade and trump in
Dummy. Lead Dummy's King
of Hearts. Return to the de-
clariIS hand by winning a club
lead with the Ace. Lead rs
Ace Of Trumps, picking up the
last adverse heart. Take the
three club tricks in Dummy:
upon the third trick discard
rs only diamond. Trump q
diamond; quite possibly A may
have discarded two spades: in
that case a Grand Slam will
result, but in any event a
Small Slam must be made.

CHAPTER XXXVIII

Christine was in the room at
the time, so was Guy Everett,
so was Mrs. Carewe. None Of
them seems to remember that
Rowland did anything suSpl-
cious with the sleeve. should
fancy it would be a deliberate
and delicate-and certainly
dangerous-operation. But even
granting that he was able to
manage all that. what more are
we asked to believe? That the
scorpion remained quietly in the
sleeve all the time Lola was
out of the house? 1t seems to
me a man of Rowland's in
telligence would hesitate before
taking such a riSk?"
by jumping juniper" ex-
claimed Dougherty, Il must
say Thatcher, that I didn't
figure all that out. Is Vincent
Rowland cleared in your opin-
ion, them"
by no means. If he was
mixed up in any crooked
schemes, and Guy Everett and
Baldwin we're threatening
complete exposure he had a per
feet motive for wanting to get
rid of those two girls. He had
the intelligence to plan it. 1t
is even possible that he con-
nived with Lola, and made her
his, dupe in getting the scor-
pions-she thought they were
to murder someone else, never
dreaming that they were in
tended for her. That is a
possibility. Whoever is guilty
made Lola purchase the Scor-
pions-I feel sure of that. But
we have no complete case yet,
against Rowland, or anybody
else. Until we find the modus
operandi of the murders, I
think we should let the case
seem as unsolvable a puzzle as
possible"
Dougherty poured himself his
fourth cup Of steaming coffee,
and ordered another serving Of
stuffed Long Island duckling.
Plenty of. Clues
agreed, Thatcher. Have you
found any indications pointing
to anyone else?"
Plenty. There is a distinct
possibility that the murder was
committed by Mrs. Carewe"
Thatcher! Good God, man
what are you saying? You
don't really mean that seri-
ously?"
Thatcher Colt was calmly
lighting a cigarette.
st am in deadly earnest
about it. There has not been
since the moment we walked
through the penthouse door
anything that seemed spon-
taneously affectionate or gen
uine in the relationship of Lola
and her mother. All the outer
signs were there but not the
inner spirit. Mrs. Carewe has
grieved nobly, but as far as I
am concerned, unconvincingly.
Her Mysteries and her excite
ment have not moved me.
Only once have I seen genuine
emotion in that old lady. That
was when 1 reused all her ex-
citement by the mention of the
name Of BASIL"
But that has nothing to do
with this case" interjected
Dougherty testify.
Perhaps not. At all events,
there I found a real reaction"
But a mother-to kill her
own daughter?"
Thatcher Colt shrugged his
shoulders.
"It happens every year-al-
most every month";" he re-
minded the District Attorney.

In Bondage

In Bondage
He boasted Of his freedom and
his land
So rich in promise for all
men, all creedS.
It's fruits so ripe for every lifted
hand,
It's answer quick and sure for
all mems needs.
He gloried in his freedom as
the bird
That upward scars in glad.
unfettered flight;
The proud, rebelliouS spirit in
him stirred
At thought of all life's unre-
strained delight.
Yet he was chained by bonds
he could not break,
BY fetters stronger than q
prison cell,
Chained by the vices he could
not forsake,
BY the fair foes he served
and loved too well.
He talked Of freedom, yet in
bondage went,
Unwilling prisoner Of a base
content.

When Manners
Are Correct
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Does one EAT or DRINK soup
served in the ordinary soup
plate with the regular soup
spoon? The soup I refer to is
not a bouillon. but say, a noodle
soup. The noodles, Of course,
have to be eaten, but the liquid
soup in itself is what? S. L.
The word EAT is customarily
used when we speak of soup.
and especially is this true when
we speak of soup served in the
conventional soup plate. We
may with propriety speak Of
DRINKING our bouillon from
the small two-handled bouillon
cup, but even in this case the
word EAT is usually used.

LEN|ENCY SHOWN
TOWARD DEBTOR
New York Lenders to Fore
close Only as Last Resort,
Realtor Reports.

Mortgage lenders in New York City
have been notiveted By spirit CT leni-
olcv toward the honest debtor. Anton
L. Tran!i, president Of the Real Estate
Board Of New York. Inc. declared this
week in a stctemcnt published in the
newspapers Of that city.
I'VE have had many SO!enoid evi-
6cnces of the wisdom OF lcniency to-
ward honest debtors" he declared.
"The major lending institutions-th
mortgage co!npsnies, banks and insur-
ance cc-npsnies-heve shcwn no desire
70 rush heaGlong into the unfortunate
business Of legal debt collection through
foreclosure proceedings, except as
lasS resort.
Fairness Acked.
Had they done So real estate values
would have decreased much more rap
idly and the financial structure of the
metropolis would have becn further
inreriled. Lst us be fair to
them. They might easily have yielded
to the panic Of the moment. Instead
they helped to allay the panic by their
clearhe2ded action.
There has been long list of fore
closure proceedings, but they have rep
resented only very minor percentage
of the owncrShips that were in jeopardy
during the most acute stages OF the de-
preston. Analyzed without bias, it
would be found unqusstionably, that
in a ajority of these cases the action
was unavoidable and in many instances
for the good of the feeholder. When
a man is hopelessly in debt, with no
perceptible prospect of eXtricating HIM
self, it is a doubtful kindness to burden
him with more debt. In such case
the depositor, the policy holder or the
investor in mortgage certificates who
has contributed toward the loan has
an equal claim to consideration.
Helping Hand Given.
ION the other hand. where the own
er has legitimate reason to ask that
he be tided over end has shown an
earnest desire to work CuS his own
problems, he has had little difficulty in
inducing the reputable lending institu-
tions to give him helping hand
through the reduction or suspension OF
amortization.
.fOf course there were some deviations
from this practical and humane policy.
but it must be remembered that the
lenders in this untoward situation we're
hsrasssd by many difficulties Unscru-
pulous borrowers we're only too Wiling
to take advantage Of the shortage OLE
money. Many chronic debtors sought
to escape their obligations behind the
veil of public sympathy for the victims
of the depression.
''Unscrupulous practices grew up
overnight which ware just rs repre-
hensible as the harSh practices OF the
less reputable morsg sgagees.

NAVY SHIPS Be
STRIPPED

A drastic change in naval pol
icy which would decommission
every firSt-line ship in the Ameri-
can Navy will be sought at the
coming session by Representative
McClintic CD of Oklahoma.
Ranking Democratic member
OF the House Naval Affairs Com.
mittee, McClintic declared he
would push the measure as "econ.
omy and good sense"
Also Army Slash
At the same time, Representa-
tive Collins CD of Mississippi in
dicated he would again seek a
sharp reduction in the officer
personnel of the Army.
Collins proposed to force the
retirement of 1000 officers in
the Army appropriation bill now
effective, but was defeated.
He is chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the War Depart
ment supply bill. His stand
followed publication of the de-
mand by General Macarthur,
chief of staff, for an increase of
$4,000 men.
McClintic said his proposal
would force out many naval
officers, as there would be no
room for them with the huge
fighting units laid up. This
saving, plus the saving Of the
large expense incident to keeping
the ships in fighting trim, would
be considerable, he said.
Calls It Silly
He added:
eve have developed planes
capable of carrying 10O-pOund
bombs at a high rate of speed
with a ceiling of about four
miles. There is no nation, in
the world prepared to go to war
with us, or that has any remote
idea Of such a thing. In these
times Of depression, and in view
Of these facts, it is silly to keep
our first line ships in full COM
