, live with a patrOnlzlng anger
on stills who has forgiven me.
And just what does she mean
by bringing things to a "crisis" %?
Maybe she wants to threaten
suit for separation with sup
port, or divorce with alimony.
That's a far from happy thing.
Lawyers have to be paid.
Courts don't act without speci-
,fic and definite facts. Suspi-
cionS don't go.
Perhaps. my dear young lady,
you are bored with an unpro-
ductive life. And I am not
blaming you. If you had a
job-something real to do
you would not be spinning
webs and worrying because
flies don't trap themselves.
A job that calls for definite
hours and definite results day
by day leaves no time for non
sense. 1t isn't play. No excuses
go. You are up against a
grind that demands that you
make good in comparison with
others.
Find Work To Do
OF course, the position in
which you find yourself is in
tensely annoying. You used to
be the focus of all your hus-
bands attentions. If there were
others, you did not know it, and
now you are ready to believe
anything. Why? Because you
have made the mistake of en-
tertaining the thought of your
inferiority to a namelesS some
one else. It's like opening the
door of your home to thieves
and gangsters-inviting them to
come in and rob you.
There is trouble enough with
out making trouble. Thank
your lucky stars that things
are not bad really. Look about
you at the people who are worse
off, and take a hand at helping
them. I am sure you will have
no trouble about finding worthy
and grateful objects for your
helpfulness.
Don't Bluff
Have I fully answered your
question, Forgive or fight?" #
not, let me add this word about
fighting. How about the person
that sowS a wind and reaps a
whirlwind? Granted that you
know what you want to fight
about, take stock and figure on
this: Can I win the fight?
There is little for you or any
body else in bluffing. Get the
best out of your life by putting
into it all you've got of COM
mon sense and faith and love.

When z dealt, his side was
not vulnerable, but ABB were
vulnerable. z could count
nine tricks in his own hand.
Being void Of spades, prepared
to bid for game, and able to
double any very opposing dec
laration, z opened with a bid
Of 5-Clubs. trusting his partner
for two tricks, or able to go
game with the missing ace of
hearts or clubs, provided his
finesse in diamonds went
through safely. rs bid was a
good one: he could not be
seriously harmed with 100
honors to offset any bad lie of
cards. The full hands are

between a butterfly net and a
bathing suit, we have linen,
cotton or English print suits,
cooler, crisper and easier to
launder. And they are much
more attractive. They come
in such individual types as the
sinC-song suit, sketched, with a
bar of music across the front.
Or they are printed with the
alphabet scattered in profusion
over the suit, or in dotted de-
signs, flower prints, with a boat
sailing across the youngsters
manly chest and many other
equally amusing designs. They
are only 81 to $3.50 apiece and
are nicely finished. The suit
sketched is $3.50 and is in
white with colored trimming and
edging of ric-rac braid. The hat
comes with the suit and is of
matching fabric. Notice how
well it shades the eyes and it is
washable.

practitioners who have handled
such cases believe the injec-
tions should be begun six to
IL weeks before the attack is
expected. In some cases the
treatment is completely success
full. In others there is no
benefit obtained whatever.
The second method is the
use of pollen filters in the
bedroom. If economically
feasible also in the room in
habited in the daytime-office
or house. These filters fit into
any window. If the room is
otherwise kept closed they act
efficiently in practically every
case. Their cost is no more
than the charge ordinarily
made for a course of vaccines.
Employers who have many en-
ployes with hay fever would
probably profit by installing
such filters in their offices.
The third method of preven-
tion is the destruction of rag
weed plants early in the season.
If city departments of health
in neighboring cities would
agree among themselves to cut
all weeds in vacant lots, along
fences and railroad tracks,
from July'1 to August IS. it
would undoubtedly mitigate
this nuisance considerably.

years are now wearing hand
made and embroidered dresses
almost entirely, when the oc-
. casion demands more than a
sun suit. They are in pastels
this year and the most popular
color is yellow, with pink and
blue next. The one sketched
is of batiste, though they are
of nainsook too and is priced
$1.95. Others are priced from
81 up. With these dresses,
little girls wear cunning bon
nets of organdie, batiste, of
other sheer materials, usually in
white, though they may be in
pastels to match the frock.
They are inexpensive too. Wide
floppy hats are the choice Of
the girl of three or older and
the new hats are reversible,
with chin strap and some
times white on one side and a
color on the other. They are
priced 81.
Just Like GrOwn.UpS
AS sun suits are no longer
like bathing suits, the young
fry must have bathing suits
this year and the new suits
are so adorable that mothers
will all be glad. They are
just like grown.up suits, except
for their proportions. A pop
ular suit is the rather manly
one-piece that looks like a two
piece, has striped top and
a belt. Both boys and girls
like this suit and are particu-
larly fond of the belt. Another
favorite is the sun-back suit
with a pirate on the front,
Captain Kid" we might call
him. The extreme sun-tan back
appeals to youngsters who like
to be like their mother. These
suits, in sizes 2 to 6, come in
all good colors and are mex
pensive, prices ranging around
$3.50 and $2.95. Of course
there are many others to choose
from. When a beach robe Is
necessary, coolie coat is in
order and they come in many
attractive colors and styles.

A made q StabHn-the dark
bid of 5-Hearts, that Y passed,

was void of spades, and he
risked a bid of 6-Clubs. A
helped his partner, by bidding
6-SpadeS. z doubled.
If you hold two unbid suits,
or one unbid suit and a longer
suit bid by your own side,
provided equal tops are held
in both suits, unless you want
to weaken the declarer by
forcing him to ruff, always
lead your shorter suit. Had z
observed this common sense
rule, he could have defeated
the small slam contract. But
q made an opening lead of his
<: of clubs. Dummy won the
trick. Dummy's 8 of spades
was led, overtaken with the
declarer'S @, and the 9 Of dia-
monds was led back. 2 played
MS Ace. and attempted to
rectlty his opening mistake by
leading his K. of hearts.
Dummy won the trick, and
dummy's J. of Spades was
led, overtaken with the de-
clarer's K, and two more leads
OF trumps picked up all oppos-
ing spades.
The only chance to fulfill his
contract was for B to estab-
hSh dummy'S diamonds, to
secure discards of one losing
club and one losing heart.
When there exists only one way
by which your aims can be &C.
compllShed, try that way, no
matter how improbable your
plan may appear. In this
instance. 2 had put up his Ace
OF Diamonds, second hand,
with the K. ]. and 10 appear
Ing at his left. If z lacked the
missing Q of Diamonds such
play as he made would be al
most inexcusable. The play
plainly marked z as having
possession of the missing @.
But in any event B had to
risk a fineSse in dummy, to &C.
compliSh his purpose, unless
the bare @. went up second
hand.
B led his last remaining
diamond. z played the 8.
Dummy's 10 won the trick, and
the lead of dummy's K. tumbled
the Q. from rs hand. B dis
carded his last club. The tenth
trick was won by dummy's ].
of Diamond, upon which B dis
carded his last loser-his 8 of
Hearts.
B had won nine of the ten
tricks played. All he had left
in his hand were three good
spades. When a hand has
reached a stage when no.
body can deny the remaining
tricks belong to one side, to
save time it is customary to
claim the balance of the tricks,
and spread the hand. But B
belonged to the class that de-
lights to play out the past
card, so he trumped a lead of
a heart from dummy, and
then led this two good spades,
one after the other. Such
senseless play is annoying,
and should be avoided.

Of the Seacoast Building. The

are now passing over the Sea-

The passengers in the plane
look down. They see a finger
pointing into the sky: they see
a pinnacle falling leagues short
of its arrogant endeavor. They
see pyramid, built with the
blocks of some gigantic child,
blocks placed one upon an
other, setback, step-off.
They see something small
and aspiring, lifting itself
above the striving of other
buildings yet never attaining
that blue height which their
pilot, chewing gum, his hand
easy upon the stick, attains.
They feel confident and secure.
They look down upon this
insolence of steel, and it is
dwarfed. They are above it.
1t is all in the point of view.
Empty Streets
On Sundays the street is
empty. Now and then a car
goes by. Now and then a man
walks past, talking to his COM
panion. The Seacoast Building
stands half in sun and half in
shade. The offices of the great
bank are closed. The other
offices are closed also: insur-
2nce, wholesale sport clothes,
lecture bureau, publishing, in
veStment securities, lawyer,
cafeteria, luncheonette, reStaur-
ant. Only in the towers are
people active in studios and
control rooms. imparting news
of the world, secular and
church music, sermons, jazz, to
other people who, slippered, sit
at home.
This is on Sunday. But Mon
day releases some spring animat-
ing the routined gestures of
men and women. Monday be-
gins the workers week and the
Seacoast Building opens it's
doors Of green bronze set in
black marble and invites them
within, to struggle, to attain,
to fail, to succeed, to love and
to hope. to laugh and to weep,
to suffer and rejoice, to envy
and wound, to hate and to
pity. In short, to work for their
existence.

August Is is the date, but
whoever is interested had better
be getting ready for it now. The
opening of the American hay
fever season is usually prompt
and according to schedule.
The number of people in the
United States who are affected
can only be determined by guess
work or calculation, but it is
probably not fewer than one in
ten. In the Mississippi Valley,
including the valleys of the
Ohio and Missouri, the home of
the ragweed. it must be higher
than that. The ragweed in these
regions is extremely abundant,
and it gives more people hay
fever in a more virulent form
than any other plant. The Mis-
sissippi Valley, then, it's favorite
habitat, is the plague spot Of
the world for hay fever.
Something like IL to 20 mil
lion people, therefore, are more
or less incapacitated during the
last two weeks of August and all
of September from this disease,
in the United States alone,
every year. The amount Of
their incapacity ranges from
mild discomfort to complete
prostration. For most of them
there is a considerable economic
loss.
In view of such a situation,
methods of control of the
disease are extremely important.
Methods of treatment are prac-
tically useless. Of methods of
prevention there are three with
any possibilities of success.
First, is the vaccine treat
ment, using a solution of the
ragweed pollen for the vaccine.
To be successful the treatment
must be begun early. Most

It's amazing what sun suits
have done to children's fash

chased everything else off the
map, for nowadays the young
ster dons a sun suit in the
morning and with the exception
of a change if he falls in the
mud, or to freshen him up for
the evening, he wears nothing
else all day. And think what a
comfort it is to his mother.
Instead of numerous shirts,
panties and suits or dresses,
not to mention petticoats for
the little girl, she merely has
to buy lots and lots Of sun

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

It appears that this young
matron knows a little and
suspects more, and that she
wants to bring things to a
crisis. Nothing is to be gained
by watchful waiting. The lady
is young, unhappy, welded
three years, has no children
and a husband perhaps too
charming.
The wife doesn't tell me she
is jealous in so many words,
but that fact is obvious. She
says she knows things against
him, but she doesn't say what
these things are. That's why
think that she suspects a lot
and knows really nothing.
Bored With Life?
There is to my mind some
thing not so attractive about
the attitude of any person who
talks of forgiving another. I'd
rather have an honest scrap
and be done with it than to

Suggestions FOR
Housewives

Should the clasp of your
handbag be broken or inse-
cure, flat patent fastener
sewn to the lining as near to
the top as possible will hold
the bag securely and invisibly.
This is a safeguard, even with
a new bag.
When you have washed and
ironed loose covers in the
usual way, put them on the
chairs and settee. Then take
a hot flat iron and run it over
the covers on the chairs. This
removes all creaSes.
Use a comb with blunt teeth
and set wide apart. Use a hair
brush with grouped bristles,
fairly stiff and also set wide
apart. Thorough brushing of
the scalp once or twice 3 day
promotes healthy hair growth.
