ARTICLE No. is

Many times in these articles the
writer has strongly urged the necessity
of making original bids mean something.
There are certain definite require
ments of bidding that should be COM
piled with at all times, if the player
wants to become a sound bidder. These
requirements are nor or less arbitrary
and vary with the position of the
bidder. For example, if you hold five
hearts to the ace, king, it is a sound
heart bid as dealer but if three players
have passed, it is not a sound bid by
fourth hand. In the same way a bid
may not be sound on the first round of
bidding but may be perfectly justified
on the second round
The real reason for these ~so-called
conventions of bidding is the fact that
all sound bidding is part of an harmoni-
Gus whole. Each bid, if it be sound,
should consider not only the bid itself
but also its effect upon and interpreta-
ton by ones partner. If it tells him the
truth, it is a sound bid; but if it de-
ceives him or may be misconstrued,
it is not sound. Whenever you make a
bid, think not only of your own cards
but also of your partner and what he
may do after he hears your bid. You
should also consider your own course

of action if the bid you intend to make
should be overbid by your opponents.
Have you started something that either
you or your partner can carry to its
logical conclusion7 If so, it is a sound
bid but not otherwise.
When you are dealer and bid one
no trump or n of a suit, you should
convey the exact information to your
partner: First: In case of a no trump
bid, that you have at least two andi
one-half quick tricks, distributed in att
least three suits; Second, in case of a
suit bid, that you have a suit of at
least four cards and two and one-half
quick tricks in the hand, one of which
is in the suit bid. Original bids shouldi
always give exact information for they
are the first bids of the hand and have
the chance to start partner off on the
right foot by telling him what you have.
This is the time you should tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. If you don't tell the
truth, you are laying up trouble for
yourself.
Lay a firm foundation for the part
nership and you will get good results;
but, if you build your house on the
sand of untruth or transformation,
look out, for trouble is sure to result.

Your Health

The world awaits a scientific
study of itchy ears.
In the first place, they are
embarrassing. When you are
waiting to meet a grand duke
temporarily visiting this coun-
try on account of the current
depression in grand dukes,
nothing makes you feel your
inferioriity to a person who
was brought up in a palace
like having your ears begin to
itch. (Of course, I did find
with one grand duke that the
only thing during the evening
he really was interested in,
despite the presence of a lady
who had gone to Moscow last
summer with a tour, was my
itchy ear, because his Uncle
Petronova had the same trouble
and he was beginning to have
it himself.)
Ear specialists are very un:
satisfactory about it. Most Of
them say it won't kill you,
and let it go at that. Some
times they say be sure not to
try to scratch it with "a for
eign object" (by which I sup
pose they mean a MATCH and
that paper matches are no good
to scratch it with-you have
to use something Stiffer.
The ear specialists are also
very vague about the cause.
Here my studies put me miles
ahead of them. It's prevalence
is due to the disappearance of
the old gold ear spoon. I in
herited one from my grand
father and since it was turned
over to me by the executors
I have been practically cured.
OF course, I did rupture my
ear drum, but that was before
I got the hang of it. On the

they were manufacturing those

throw ethics to the winds and

code which forbids the mention
of proprietary remedies, admit
that the only things that are

THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY S R story
WASHINGTON FASHIONS

The vogue for knitted things
is stronger than ever in this
year of meshes. All the knitted
suits and dresses are smart,
and particularly the boucles,
which have been good for sew
eral years, but this year are
outdoing their former popular
ity. This is partially because
they have taken on dress-like
details, and are so much more
attractive than in former sea.
sons. Then of course each
year the methods of knitting
them improve, so the materials
are firmer, sheerer, and hold
their shape better.
More Formal Uses
You will see boucles on the
street, now that coats may be
discarded, both in suit types
and in dresses. They are ideal
for the spectator sports and for
general country club or country
wear, and they are even worn
by many women for active
sports such as golf. And this
year when they are as often
dresses as suits, you will find
them going to afternoon tea
If it's not too formal. The
darker colors are splendid for
travel too, as they do not musS
easily, or show wrinkles, and Of
course they clean beautifully,
and do not require constant
pressing.
New Jacket FrOckS
Two-piece suits are a bit
newer than three pieces, though
you will find many women
prefer the three pieces Of jac-
ket, skirt and blouse. Many Of
this years boucles are made
of a dress, with short sleeves,
or just with little cap sleeves,
and a matching jacket. They
have been remarkably well re-
ceived, probably because they
are not quite as bulky around
the waist as the two layers of
skirt and blouse. Then, newer
still, we have one-piece dresses
of boucle with a little capelet
or bertha effect, and no jacket,
a typical informal afternoon
costume, and they too are fast
gaining popularity.
Semi-T TaiIOred
The dress we have Sketched
with the jacket is typical of the
two-piece costumes you will find,
and this one is unusually good
looking. It is in a lovely dusty
pink that you find in boucle,
with the top striped in a creamy
white. The direction Of the
stripes follows the surplice clos
ing, and the waistllne is held
in by a wide ribbed band. The
skirt is plain pink, and so is the
jacket. The latter is the at
tractive top-of-hip length, and
the sleeves are open at the
wrists. 1t is a lovely costume,
with or without the jacket.

Making Friends
~ NErS Peecknan.

Making FRIENDS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My husband and I are a
young couple and we haven't
a great many friends and we
are naturally anxious to make
more.
What I would like to know
is: If another young couple
and ourselves are brought to-
gether at a small party at the
home of a mutual friend,
wouldn't it be necessary for us
to meet this couple a time or
so again under similar circum-
stances before inviting them
to our home?
I have friends who invite
the person just met Casually
the wife at an afternoon
bridge) to their homes after
the first meeting, but I have
never been able to make my
self do that. Am I too re-
served? I would like to know
the correct procedure.
K.
In these informal days. it is
considered perfectly proper and
very friendly to invite to your
home people whom you meet
even for one session of bridge
in the way you describe. And
certainly this is the quick way
of making friends, and OF cx-
tending the hospitality OF your
home.
One thing I always advise,
and this I think is very i'm
portant and too often not
taken account of by people:
when you do extend such an
invitation, especially after a
short meeting, always make 1t
a point to invite the person
or the people through whom
you. have met these new ac-
uuaintanceS. This is a gra-
cious courtesy, and your old
friends will appreciate this
graceful tribute.

and illustrates the use of cape
or bertha in place of a jacket.
It too has a surplice closing,
and is knitted with an open
drop7stitch effect, most attrac'
tive and very summery looking.
There is a touch of brown edg-
ing the bertha or collar. This
dress would be splendid for
any afternoon occasion, and is
cooler than a jacket suit.
Either costume may be found
in other colors than those
described, and of course there
are other styles to choose from.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
His Friends Friend

His Friends Friend
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I suppose this will be just
another seemingly foolish ques-
ton to you, but, to me it is
vitally important; therefore, I
am asking your advice.
Some tt..ne ago I started
going with a girl, let us call her
Mary, whom I knew in "the
old home town." One night
she happened to introduce me
to her best girl friend, and I
have been going with her, on
the side, ever since we first
met.
Mary has decided to move to
her friends apartment. She
is not aware of the fact that I
have been going out with her
friend, because I have con-
tinued to show her some atten-
ton. I really want to see her
friend often, and yet I would
not care to make Mary angry
with me. Now that they are
both going to live in the same
apartment, do not know how
I can possibly see the girl that
truly interests me. What do
you suggest that I do?
John Brown
(Fictitious name).
Well, John Brown, you seem
to have got yourself into the
same predicament as a good
many illuStrious men-Dean
Swift among them. But as you
are not engaged to Mary, "the
old home town" friend, you are
under no obligations to conceal
your interest in her friend.
But I'd be honest about it and
let Mary know how it is, before
she begins to build any air
castles about you. Just say
to her something like this:
"You don't know how much
I've enjoyed meeting your
friend, Alice" But the whole
situation is fraught with un-
pleasant possibilities, and you'll
have to watch your step.
He Wants Her to Run Away
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I've been a constant reader
of your column for quite a
while, and now I'm coming to
you for some advice about a
problem of my own. I am ID
years of age, and have been
keeping steady company with a
certain young man for about
six months. He is Is years old.
Now the problem is this:
He asks me to marry him
constantly, and is madly in
love with me, but, my folks
don't approve of me going out
with him. Mother. has even
asked me to give him up, and
Dad doesn't speak to him when
he calls on me. He told me he
loves me enough to overlook
these things, and promises he'll
do all in his power to make me
happy. We had planned on
getting secretly married May
20. The folks will probably dis
own me if I marry. Do you
think I'll be happy, or do you
think I'm too young to think
about getting married?
My parents were wonderful
to me before met this man.
Shall 1 break up with him to
satisfy them?
Eighteen is too young to
marry in the face of parental
objections, my dear. And why
do your parents object? You
didn't tell me. Is he joblesS?
Is he one more victim of the
prohibition farce? Is it a ques-
ton of difference in religions.
can't advise you until you
tell me a little more. Mean
time, as I've said, 1S is pretty
young to take the bit in your
teeth and run away.
