Make Marriage
Your Career
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage
Lucy is asking a question. she
Is engaged to a man. He Is well
connected. Her family approves
him. She has no fault to find,
but somehow she has doubt;
she's not head over heels in love.
"Is a career the alternative"
she wonders. Let's consider the
question.
The way you put it, Lucy, it
seems to me, your fiance ILLS
neither your eye, your imagina-
ton nor your heart. No girl
can be enthusiastic about man
Just because his family connec-
tions are fine and her parents
heartily approve. These, while
important, are side issues. You'd
have more chance of happiness
With this young man If there
were some fault to find with
him-something to scrap about.
Perhaps he is not colorful
enough?
Human Relations
Human relations are not all
made Of concessions and adjust
mentS. When these come, they
usually follow a stand for opin-
ions and rights. People really
get to know each other that
way. A man may say, This is
my wife's idea" and follow it
with reason underlying the idea,
proudly, not slavishly.
Why don't you really get &C.
quainted with this fiance Of
yours? You might fall in love
with him. And if you don't
then try somebody else.
Failing in love, you write me,
you may try a career. But no
one ever achieved a career that
way. It's never an alternative.
1t demands work and ability
especially work.
Make Career Of Marriage
Many of us think that wish
should be followed Immediately
by achievement and, lacking
this desired result, we flop back
into encouragement. Wasn't it
Kipling'S Mulvaney who had the
wit to see that the best part of
any possession was the effort
that won it? He called it "the
fight between" When you get
things by contributing some
thing of yourself, you become
stronger and richer day by day.
Judged by what you put into
life, it doesn't make so much
difference whether you go in
for a marriage or a career. II
you are real person, you will
be a success at either. And
why not make a career of mar
riage?

Eyelet embroidered batiSte
seems to be starting off as
summers most popular fabric
for daytime dresses. That's
due to two reasons, because
they are so practical, and be-
cause they have been developed
and improved so that they are
superior to the eyelet embroid-
cries of last summer. There are
other materials embroidered
like the batiStes, linen, lawn,
handkerchief linen, but for pur-
poses of convenience we will
class them all together. Or
candle is embroidered too, but
is usually used for late after
noon frockS, or for evening.
Variety of Design
Last year the materials were
usually embroidered in white,
but this year they can match
or contrast in any way. Often
the fabric is embroidered first
and then dyed, so that the
thread matches the background.
Sometimes the embroidery is
done in one color on another,
or on white, and again we have
colors embroidered in white, so
there's quite a variety. Then
there is a profusion Of designs,
floral patterns, geometric ef-
fects, big splashy things, and
fine dainty patterns, with big
holes, so again you can get
something that's different, and
of course they are made in as
many ways as any other ma
terial, so you needn't look like
your neighbor even if you do
choose the same material.
Cooler than Cool
The practical and comfort
able features Of eyelet en-
broideries cannot be over-esti-
mated. Because of their open
effect, and crispnesS which
keeps them from sticking to
you, they are very cool. They
do not muss, and are very easy
to launder. They will not
shrink if you buy them pre-
shrunk, and they will not fade
if you get a reasonably good
quality. They are in the fore
front of the fashion ranks, so
they have every summer ad-

ding. AS a matter Of fact, I
have heard Of only a few, a
very few, brides who bought the
outfits for their attendants
very rich brides, and very
generous ones.
The bride, your friend, should
have made it very clear about
all plans. I cannot understand
her indecisive way Of doing
things and Of making her
plans.
I suggest that now however,
since the plans have gone so
far, and since the bride is such
a dear friend of yours, that you
strain every effort to be the
maid Of honor and buy the
costume, even if it means a
great deal of sacrifice on your
part. This is distinctly the kind
of circumstances when we must
be good sports. even if it
does pinch and hurt.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: - ..-
I am IS years old and have
been married IS years. We have
two well-behaved and lovely
children, but I don't like my
husband because he has al
ways mistreated me terribly
and we do nothing but fuss
and quarrel. I am living with
him solely for my children'S
sake, because he also loves
them, but it is almost impossi-
BILE to live this wretched life.
Please tell me what to do.

My dear, have you ever
thought that your sacrifice in
continuing to live with a man
you no longer love is utterly
destroyed by the fuSSing and
squabbling which goes on in
your home? Better that chill.
dren should grow up in an
orphanage than be submitted
to the dreadful quarreling Of
their parents. This not only
makes them unhappy at the
present time, but is likely to
wreck their nervous systems,
and have far-reaching and dis
astrous effects on their future
J lives. Do please stop tussing
for their sakes. You know that
wise old adage, ut takes two

z made an opening bid Of One
Diamond. To induce B to re-
spond, in case he had even min
imum declaring or assisting
strength, A made. an unneces-
sarily high bid Of Three Clubs.
B was glad to respond with
Three Hearts. Right there A
made a serious blunder; instead
of showing his second suit, by
bidding Three Spades, that B
would have carried to game, A
merely bid Four Clubs, that B
passed.
The opening lead was the four
Of diamonds. z won the trick
with his ace, and very properly
led back a spade, to dummy's
great weakness. A did not want
spades led again; there had
originally been only five spades
missing; it was possible that Y
might hold no more spades, and
that a second lead Of the suit
might be ruffed by Y. It was
obvious, Of course, that z held
the missing ace of clubs, to give
him opening bid strength. A
had no desire to see another
spade lead when z gained en-
try with the ace Of trumps. A
realized when too late, that he
should have made a secondary
bid of spades. If A allowed 2
to know that he held. ace, king,
queen, eight Of spades, which
would be apparent II A played
the eight and allowed dummy to
win the trick, z would certainly
know if Y held no more than
one spade. If A played his king
on the first trick, permitting z
to believe that Y held the queen,
which might later win a trick, z
doubtless would lead another
spade when he won his club
trick. But if A won the first
trick, with his queen. as if he
held just the ace, king, queen,
almost certainly would lead
back a club, rather than a spade.
The imaginary single spade did
not exist in US hand, but the
care with which trained play
ers consider all possibilities is
interesting. A won with his
queen of spades, and when z
won the return lead Of a club,
z did lead back a trump, Just
as the declarer had calculated
would be the case.
The ace of diamonds and the
ace Of clubs were the only two
adverse cards that could win
tricks. A won four spade tricks,
one heart trick, five club tricks
and one diamond trick-eleven
tricks in all-giving him one
trick more than his contract.
Declarers usually win the same
tricks at either Of two strong
makes. It was q very serious
matter to have failed to show
spades. Five-odd could be as
readily have been won at spades
as at clubs. An adversary haV-
ing opened contracting, AS I'M
necessarily high bid was taken
by B to be intended only as an
invitation, and not as a demand
to bid, consequently B did not
consider that the rule "once a
forcing bid, always a forcing bid
until game is named" was to be
observed. Loss of game was AS
fault. He should have shown
all that he held.

bridal attendants should pay

question which has aroused
much misunderstanding be-

confusion in the minds Of all
concerned.
When I was asked to be the
maid-of-honor, I was told that
I had the privilege of wearing
anything I thought would be
appropriate. Later the bride
wanted all the dresses alike
and had a buyer from one of
the stores bring them back
from New York at her quoted
price, all of which was put
forth before asking the girls
about it.
1t was all most embarrassing,
as I was not able to pay such a
price and at the same time l
did not like to hurt the brides
feelings by refusing to accept
the arrangements. What would
