The kitizer sitting at the de-

"If you had led back diamond
instead of a club, when you
won your trump trick, you
would have won two diamonds,

Suppose B does lead back a
diamond, when he wins his
trump trick. What can z do?
He can win the diamond trick
with his Ace. Then he can
win five heart tricks. Upon
the last three heart tricks z
can discard two diamonds and
one club. Having taken these
discard dummy can lead q

trick. When B leads a club, z

his adverSaries one more dia-

The defenders cannot win a
club trick, as z will ruff. They

WASHINGTON FASHIONS : By Wilma LoNNe

Again we call attention to
the great vogue for knitted
suits and dresses, and today
we do it with pictures. The
craze grows by leaps and
bounds. You find women sneak
ing in a few stitches while
they are dummy at bridge, or
going half way across town to
compare the set of q knitted
sleeve with that Of friend
who's knitting a suit or dress,
too. And the incest thing about
the new knitted things is that
skirts are knitted on circular
needles, so you can't lose a
needle out, and instructions are
so full and easy to follow that
the most inexperienced knitter
can produce a perfect suit.
After all. knitting is one of the
few things you can take out
and start all over again, If
you do happen to make a
mistake.
Spin a Fine Yarn
It's hard to describe all the
yarns that are available for
knitting and crocheting. so fas-
cinating and so varied are they.
There are the silks for boucle
suits, the chenille types that are
wool but look silky, the crepey
woods, and then the plain
zeyphys and heavier yarns
that are frankly wool. There
are finer silks, mercerized
threads and fine wiSps of wool
for blouses and accessories. too.
And it's smart to make a dress
of one type yarn, with trim
mings, yoke or collar and cuffs
of not only another color, but
another type thread. Angora
is still used, soft and fuzzy,
for trimming or for sweaters
and blouSeS. And if you're
clever, you can do any number
of marvellous things with combi'
nations of color.
WaistcOat Scarf.
We've told only a part Of
the story in our two sketches
today, for in addition, women
are knitting tailored looking
sport suits, swagger coats, and
dresses of all sorts. One dress
shows the use of two ,colorS
and two yarns. The model we
saw was Of blue boucle, close
knitted, with fiShnet puff on
the sleeves and raped cowl. in
white. The dress is a simple
Surplice type, fits easily, and
you could wear any sort Of
collar you prefer. It costs about.
$40, for materials. The other
frock, a simple onepiece, is
effective when you knit it in
striped effect. It may be Of

less than the other. Over it

You have probably observed
how often people you meet be-
have in a stilted and Stereo-
typed manner, strain1ng at their
speech, being awkward in the
way they stand or sit, and some
times even acting in so Self-con-
Scious a fashion that you your
self feel embarrassed. What
such people lack is naturalneSS
and, strange as it may seem,
naturalneSS must be practiced,
for it does not come Of itself,
or easily.
We make a great mistake
when we do not allow our chill
dren to play with others. To
keep them too much at home
and by themselves. Develops
in them a kind of Shutin at
titude. They are the ones who
become confused and behave
artificially when, as grown-upS,
they try to meet others in so
cial relationships.
Success in life depends in
large measure upon our ability
to meet other people frankly
and unafraid. If we do not,
we are not letting the best quail
tiles Of our personality come to
the fore and be known. And
so it may easily happen that
we are miSjudged, do not re-
celVe full credit for ability and
the like, and create a distinctly
different impression from what
we intend.
Can Be Overcome
But such self-consciouSness as
I have pointed out can be over
come, and it is very necessary
That 1t should be, because first
impressions are telling, and
often we do not have another
chance.
Therefore, try to be yourself
from the very beginning. Don't
be concerned about what people
are going to think of you. For
get that you are a stranger
and are just being introduced.
Act as If you had known your
new acquaintance for years.
Instead of self-consciousness,
develop Self-aSsurance!
A variant of artificial be-
haVior, Of course, is overriding
what I might call the I'm
pleased to meet you" attitude.
II someone you are introduced
to says he has heard so many
wonderful things about you, has
been longing to meet you for
years, considers this meeting a
momentuous occa ion, ETC.
well, 1t sounds all right, but in
your own heart you know full
well that such talk is just plain
bunk.
People who babble that way
may safely be distrusted. They
are the ones who substitute flat
terry for courtesy. What human
beings need in their relation
ships are honesty and frank
ness. Surely they do not need
exaggeration, which makes every
good quality mentioned seem
ridiculous.

For the first time in her life
she was compelled to bow her
proud head to circumstance, to
event, to the conventions. No.
not for the first time. There
had been George and his fan
taStic behavior to shelter, but
this was different. George
had not mattered very much
and after all such harborage
has become, Of itself, a conven-
ton. This situation mattered
intensely.
Her impulse on that day
upon which Elizabeth had
journeyed from Boston, had
been to strike the little, shak-
ing mouth, to blind the terri
fled eyes, to thrust the small,
weak presence into the streets,
where, Louisa assured herself,
the girl belonged. And then
she must spend the rest Of her
days in forgiving her son his,
she insisted, lesser share in this
crime against virtue and her
self. She could have screamed
aloud when she realized how
her hands were tied. For, in
that moment when she had
faced them, made them speak,
when Lennox had been deliv-
cred over to her, she might
have made him pay every day
of his life until one or the
other of them died. Pay for
his sin, she told herself. Nor
added-hiS sin against me.
But she was bound upon the
wheel of responsibility. The
Name must be protected. The
child must bear the Name.
This was her duty.
Her BOunden Duty
She realized, dimly, that once
he we're married to Elizabeth
the loss of her son would be rem
dered irretrievable. The knowl-
edge which three of them shared
would bind two of them more
closely together, would build
defensive wall against the guilt
less third. She was cognizant
that once she were married to
Lennox the girl could not be
hurt, nor reached. They would
be safe, those two, in the prison
of personality which had been
builded about them by their
mutual love. Her hands could
not destroy it, her hostile voice
would not pierce its walls. She
thought, grimly, that it would
not long endure, it could not.
that anything so without
foundation must fall, leaving
them free-and desolate. Until
it fell she would be compelled
to stand by and wait.
When the hour came, when
the walls were dust, then she
would be avenged.

Fear is the cause of most lies,
and in married life the fear gen.
orally is groundleSs, assuming
that husband and wife both
love each other to start with.
For where love is, to live is a
privilege. Yet how often the
first lie is born of fear to con-
fess some fault. great or small;
born Of failure to comprehend
loves capacity for forgiveness.
UnbrOken Faith
What, indeed, will love not
endure, in the way of hardship
or disappointment, and come
through without a scratch or
blemish, so long as the two who
are bound by marriage ties can
look into each others eyes with
unbroken faith? What a pity
that so many have failed to ap-
preciate the truth of Ruskin's
lines:
"There are some errors slight in
the estimate of wisdom:
'Some faults small in the sight
of love:
But Truth forgiveS no insult,
and endures no Stain."
Evidence Of such failure on
the part of some husband or
wife comes to me in almost
every mail. For example:
How truthful are women sus-
posed to be?" writes a young
husband, with the thickest of
stub pens and the blackest of
black ink. These represent his
frame Of mind, am sure.
When he married, he says, he
thought his wife was absolutely
truthful, but her silly little lies
disgust him. If she lied about
anything worth while, he could
stand it, but she skimpS on the
table to get herself a permanent
or a facial, and she will go to
a movie or a matinee, and then
deny it. She win buy a new
dress which she doesn't need,
and declare it was part of her
trouSSeau.

portant, he says, but he is be-
ginning to wonder if she doesn't
lie about things that really do
count?
