$3.50 alone, and $25 with the

black, brown or blue with

checked design, most attractive,
and new this season. The
tweeds and the checks are cut
a bit differently, the checks
with a scarf of the material
and no buttons, the tweeds
with two buttons to hold them
shut if you desire. The tweed
is a coarse weave, but soft; the
checks, smooth finished and
mannish. They're very easy to
wear, and fit practically any
figure. And, of course, their
swagger lines hide any possible
The Washington times., 1932-05-02

In discussing suits with Swag-
ger coats, we've predicted that
swagger cut coats would be IA
vorites when summertime ar
rived. Now it seems our predic-
tions are going to be fulfilled
sooner that that. All indications
point to their quick acceptance
in New York, and although they
have just been introduced as sep
arate coats here, they are well
liked by all who see them, and
are already bought by women of
good taste and judgment. You'll
hear on all sides when you're
shopping, I'm going to get a
coat with straighter lines, for I
think it will stay in longer"
Skirts Now Show
At last the separate coats are
here, but you can get a skirt to
match if you want it, and make
a suit with your coat, using
blouses or sweaters, just as you
prefer. These coats are simply
superb for travelling, as they will
go over any sort of costume,
bulky or not. They swing free
from the shoulders, are seven
eighths lengths, and are always
plain and tailored. They will be
worn over all sorts of summer
dresses, simple street frocks,

part of your figure that you
might not think so good.
Ever Popular Polo
We can't sketch sports-like
coats without at least mention
ing the polo coat, however, and,
as we find that many people
are already buying white and
light polo coats, we decided to
put in one lovely white one.
There are many slight varia-
tions from the regulation polo
coat, and this year the coats
with different collar or
sleeve seem to be the popular
ones. Some of them have two
or three rows of stitching
around the collar, others a
draped cuff. some button far
over in the Lyolene manner,
and some are simply wide
shouldered and double breasted.
This coat is $1395 and comes
in white, with pastels on the
way. No need to tell anyone
what uses i ~"'0 oe put to.

Since publishing, few weeks
ago, a portion of the Holy
wood diet, there have been
so many requests for the full
list that it will be reprinted
in full this week. It, how
ever, takes up too much space
for one days column, so that
it will be distributed and dis
cussed through the week
three days diet in each article.
It was called the Eighteen
Day Diet, and, according to its
originator. is calculated to re-
duce a pound a day. This is
quite in accord with the best
modern theory of weight re-
duction. It is common eXper-
ience that when a person goes
on a diet no loss of body
weight occurs during the first
few days. This has been found
to be due to water retention.
In the course Of about a
week this water retention dis
appears and the effects Of the
dieting begin to appear. So
that on any diet for reducing
purposes, weight will not De
gin to fall until the second
week. The eighteen-day stretch,
therefore, is about the right
length for effective results.

It was here that at Thatcher
Colts request l turned over to
Inspector Flynn the note Of
warning which Nola had shown
us at Mayfair.
Flynn studied the message
obviously.
Trace the manufacturers of
the paper and ink-after that
the retailers" instructed Colt,
and Flynn nodded gravely.
"They sell this sort Of cheap
stuff all over town." he said,
''but of course if we find a shop
in this neighborhood-I'll get
right to it."
Colt now called for DR.. Bald
win.
Doctor" he began, "some re-
marks have led me to believe
that you had some personal diff
ferences with Lola. Is that cor
rect?"
The gray-haired and athletic
physician looked only slightly
taken aback.
1T is true" he admitted, that
we disagreed. But it was only be-
cause she did not like the treat
ment I recommended. For the
last few weeks I have seen little

Colt seemed hardly to hear DR..
Baldwin's reply for the door
opened. DR.. Multooler. in his
shirt-Sleeves, stood in the door
way, waiting to give his report
to the commissioner.
With a glance that bade the
assistant medical examiner to
wait, Colt turned abruptly to
Dr.. Baldwin.

Goodnight" he said in a
brittle voice. Il shall let you
know when we shall be needing
you. Please hold yourself in
readiness"
willingly" returned Doctor
Baldwin with a weary glance at
the commissioner. In silence he
took his leave. Still Colt did
not turn to the medical ex-
aminer. Instead, he spoke to
Flynn.
Shadow Baldwin, too," Colt
advised. mo one else is to leave
the house until the results of
the autopsy are known. That
goes for Lola's mother, the maid,
and the Chinaman. Keep them

She's Going to Overcome 1t
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am a sophomore in high
school and am afraid 1 have
an inferiority complex, which
I hate and would like to get
rid of as quickly as possible.
I am considered nice-looking
and dress we'll.
But whenever I see a group
of girls and boys laughing and
talking together as I approach,
I always think they are laugh
ing at me. I know this is ridi-
culous, but I can't help it. I
san sing a little, and have
hoped someday to become a
concert singer, but I am afraid
this inferiority complex will
stop me. Please help me, Miss
Fairfax, as I do want to be a
success. ANN.
The first step to take, Ann,
towards being a success, is to
make up your mind firmly that
you are no, going to worry
about what other people are
thinking about you. Make a
plan for yourself, start work

Spades are trumps. Y is to
lead. How many tricks can
w make against the best play
Of ABB? The answer is that
w can win all 10 tricks against
any possible play Of ABB.
It is evident that Y must take
two rounds of trumps first, to
pick up AS two spades, or the
latter will be able to ruff any
lead Of diamonds. AS Y can
win just as many heart tricks as
z can, or one heart trick and
a substitute trick, the latter's
two hearts must be discarded
upon Y's two spades. A must
follow suit on the two spade
leads. What shall B do? AS a
matter Of fact B cannot make
any diScards that will prevent
w from winning all 10 tricks,
but B can make it most diff
cult by discarding his two lowest
hearts upon the two spade leads.
In case P discards two hearts,
Y must lead his two good hearts,
forcing B to discard one card
from his clubs or diamonds upon
the second lead of hearts. In
either event, rs discard upon
Y's first heart lead must be
king of clubs.
OF course A follows suit up
on the two heart leads. What
z must discard upon the second
lead of hearts depends wholly
upon whether B discardS a
club or a diamond.
Suppose B diScards his low
est diamond upon the second
heart lead, retaining his two
clubs. Then z must let go his
Z Of clubs, retaining only his
Ace of clubs and his five dia-
monds. Y will next lead his 10
Of diamonds: If B puts up his
K, the Ace will win the trick.
The return lead will be won by
Y's 9, and the last four tricks
will go to rs three good dia-
mondS and his Ace of clubs.
If B allows the 10 of diamonds
to pass without covering with
his K, Y's 9 will follow. If B
covers he will be picked up; if
B refuses to cover the balance
of rs cards must win tricks.
In case B decides to let go
one club, upon the second lead
OF hearts by Y. and to save all
his diamonds, rs AT of clubs
must be kept, and rs lowest
diamond must be discarded.
Then Y's 10 of diamonds will
win the first trick in that suit;
rs j will win the second trick.
The Ace of clubs must be
led to catch BIS only card of
that suit. The Z of clubs will
be overtaken with Y's 10, and
Y's last diamond will be led
up to rs 40 of that suit,
giving w the two last tricks of
their 10.
II B decides to hold three
hearts and five diamonds, let
ting go his two clubs upon the
lead Of declarer's two spades,
rs two hearts will be discarded
and Y will lay down his good
heart. rs j of diamonds can
be discarded, which will allow
Y to lead his 10 and 8 of dia-
monds through B; Y can re-
turn to his own hand by lead
ing a low club, winning with
the 10, then leading his 6 of
diamonds through B, thus win
ming a total of two spades, one
heart, four diamonds, and
three clubs. Ten tricks are
assured w, with proper play.

The four walls stifle me today.
And from the tyranny
Of the grim clock that ticks away
My life I must be free!
must have rest from weighing
word.
With word for sound and sense;
And oh! to sing as sings the bird
With blithe inconSequence!
To sing and soar into the blue,
AS lark that seeks it's mate;
To sing with thought Of none
but you,
And minstrel heart elate!
The four walls stifle me today.
So I shall leave behind
The sombre city, grim and gray,
To dance through sun and

Is voiced by joyous birds,

that w could not win all 10

When Manners
Are Correct

Wedding USherS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Lear MrS. beecKman:
/. am to be married soon,
the ceremony in the afternoon
to be followed by a reception
in the evening. Instead Of
bridesmaids, 1 want to have
only ushers. Is this proper?
2. Also I want to have your
suggestion as to whether lace
is to be more popular this
spring than satin. What par
ticular color is being featured
for the maid of honor?
3. Is the groom supposed to
give gifts to his uSherS? If so,
what would you suggest, some
thing inexpensive?
Bride-to-Be.
l. Yes. It is correct for the
bride not to have bridesmaids,
if she wishes. One of the love-
liest metropolitan weddings that
I have seen this year had no
bridesmaids. Only a maid Of
honor and ushers. The ushers
walk first in the professional,
two by two; then the maid Of
honor, alone; last, the bride and
her father.
2. Lace and satin seem to be
sharing honors this spring, with
lace perhaps a bit ahead. The
family of pinks, from pale pink
to very deep pink, and yellows
are very popular. And so are
light blues.
3. Yes, the groom gives gifts,
usually, to his attendants. Gig
arctic cases, wallets. cigarette
lighters, pocket or wrist watches,
key chains or key cases.

ing it out, and you will find
yourself so busy and interested
that you won't have time to
think that other boys and girls
are laughing at you. If you
have a 'ood voice, and haven't
already done so, I advise you
to join your school glee club,
and your church choir. That
will be a start, at least, toward
what you want. 1t will also
give you an opportunity to
know other young people, and
you will soon overcome your
inferiority complex.

A Feeling of Distrust

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am engaged to a girl who
says she loves me, but for some
reason I have a feeling of dis
trust. I can't understand this,
because I really love her. What
do you think is the reason for
this? j. G. T:
It is hard to say what causes
you to feel this way without
knowing more about the girl and
yourself. Are you sure it isn't
just a little jealousy on your
part, perhaps because you see
her being pleasant to other boys
occasionally?

Indifferent To Girls
ear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young girl, considered
nice-looking and dress attrac-
lively. The problem is that I
am in love with a young man
who goes about in our crowd
there are eight of us who go
cut togethe er-but he just
doesn't seem to care for girls.
He is clever and very much
liked by those who know him.
1 wonder if you could tell me,
Miss Fairfax, how to win this
boy? Please let me know as
soon as possible.
There's hope in the fact that
he is willing to go about in
your crowd of girls and boys,
also in the fact that you know
he isn't interested in anyone
else. Match his cleverness with
your own. What is he inter
eSted in-books, a thle tics,
sports? Understand nough
about these things to listen
intelligently. You'll have to
be very diplomatic, however,
and not appear to be too much
interested in him, for that will
frighten him away.
