New Bridal Fabrics

AS you can easily see, gowns
for attendants are now practl-
cal, and can be worn for other
occasions after the wedding is
over. It's considered much
smarter now to plan your wed
ding that way, rather than to
have period or picture type
gowns that can scarcely ever
be used after the one occasion.
Bridal gowns haven't changed
much, but are lovelier than
ever, with the new high Empire
or princess lines, and with the
variety of lovely fabrics, lace,
angel-skin crepe, dull velyetS,
the dull rough crepes, and the
old faVorite, satin. If you want
to order wedding gown from
a model, you may or you NAV
be able to find one ready.made
without the trouble of long
fittings.

bridesmaids gowns, with tiny

rose in a beetroot dress, and an
uncurled ostrich boa in both
colors. Amethyst is another
popular color.
Unusual Combinations
Ostrich seems to be quite
popular for weddings, especially
a boa to give color contrast.
and to dress up" an otherwise
simple dress. Several other
weddings have been planned in
pastels, with gowns of the same
type, combining other colors.
Then for the bride who wants
something more sophisticated,
there are the slender, simple
evening gowns. worked out in
distinctive colors, so that they
give a we'll planned look. We've

these gowns may be ordered in
any color combination desired,
and for only $25.

From all indications, fall we'd
dingS are going to be numerous
and formal. Many many brides
have already ordered extensive
trousseaux. Bridesmaids and
other attendants are busy with
fittings and matching of colors.
Indeed we have gathered so
much news of early weddings
that we can summarize it, and
determine pretty we'll already
what the trends are. And this
of course gives us a glimpse in

fashions.
Dark Fall COIOrs
Colors are divided between
the jewel tones, or other rather
dark colors, and the lighter
tints, paStels and near-whites.
One lovely wedding. we know
of is planned all in beetroot

and a lighter rosy color that
goes with it. Dresses of a ro-
mantle type combine both colors
for the bridesmaids, and re-

matron of honor. Even the
mother of the bride, will wear

They can never be said, all
the tender things
That are hidden away in my
thoughts of you;
For your smile is the fount
from which gladness springs,
And your look gives me
courage and cheer anew.
Your hand is the one that has
led me on
When I would have faltered
and failed in my quest,
And your spirit has shown me
the promise of dawn
While the shadows of night
still about me pressed.
Oh, I had not a hope whose
bright wings cleaned,
But that you gave those wings
the sure strength to soar;
And there is not one dream
that my soul has dreamed,
But that you were deep in
the dreams hid core!
They can never be said; but
you know them all,
The love and the faith that
will never die,
Till the last sere leaves from
the last trees fall,
And the light fades from the

CHAPTER 27

Early in my career achieved
quite a reputation for bringing
back rare and unusual birds.
Birds were my first love in
the realm of wild creatures-in
fact, it was my bent for collect
ing them as a boy that led
me to make a profession of
securing the world for wild
life.
Not only is it true that birds
we're my first love. but also
that after thirty-odd years they
still hold a high place in my
affection and interest. And of
all the birds, the most in
teresting to me are the mem
bers of that heavenly species
which are known as birds Of
paradise.
Oddly enough, the paradise
bird Systematically speak
ing-merely an ornamental
crow. The two species are, as
1t were, cousins. 1 suppose no
experienced bird man ever
looks at paradise bird with
out marveling at the strange
blood relationship between the
most gorgeous of all feathered
creatures and its humble,
homely, commonplace relative.
On one occasion I was dis
cuSsing this subject with Louis
Roth, then with the famous
AL G. Barnes circus which had
just purchased from me a few
spectacular paradise birds I
had recently brought back from
New Guinea. Louis grew remi-
niscent on the subject Of
crows, recalling a talking
crow" which had been a very
popular vaudeville feature
some years before.
Not a Rarity
OF course, talking crow is
not a great rarity. Many a
farm boy his succeeded in train
ing a tame crow to say a word
or two. 1t was the thought of
talking crows, however, that
gave Roth the idea that he sud-
denly broached to me.

Did Not Appear for the Wedding
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Some time ago I met a
young man, and from the very
first we seemed to fall really
and truly in love. We became
engaged, and the wedding day
was set. Now I am a modern
girl. I smoke, and take a high
ball occasionally. He said he
wanted me to stop drinking en-
tirely, and to cut down on the
cigarettes. I'll admit I did over
indulge in them. I agreed to
do as he asked, but the day be-
fore the wedding he didn't
come for the rehearsal, and l
haven't seen him since, nor
has he written to me. am
miserable and can't get him
off my mind. All of my old
crowd is married, and I am
DESOLATE.
1t may be cold comfort, at a
time like this, to say that a
man capable of acting as this
one has done, would make a
very poor partner to depend on
"for better or worse" But
humiliating as your experience
has been, my dear, 1 honestly
believe you'll be thankful for it
in time. There's a decent way
of doing things, even to break
ing engagements at the last
minute, and he failed in that.
Can't you go away for a nice
long visit, some place where no
one knows about this broken
engagement? Get some pretty
frocks, or make over the old ones.
Miracles can be worked with
those dyes that can be pro-
cessed at home. Try a new deal
all around. And don't be angry
with me if 1 suggest cutting
out the cigarettes and highballs.

one 7 ever knew. And like
all amateur actors he would
get very hysterical about the
impending play.
He rushed around, and wor-
ried about details, and re-
hearsed, and stewed about the
incompetence of the other
actors, and finally, invariably,
the night of the performance he
would have a breakdown and a
substitute would have to go on
for him. You could just count
on it-all his infinite pains and
worries would go for nothing
and the one night he should be
on hand to reap the rewards. he
would be flat on his back in
bed.
Now, the point Of this, and
practically all other similar
cases, is that the only thing
that broke down was his nerve.
These people ascribe their
troubles to a weak heart or a
weak something else, but the
real difficulty is with their
backbone.
Patients with real organic
heart disease seldom have sud-
den breakdowns. The heart
gradually incapacitates them,
but not from any acute worry
or even any sudden strain.
People, in general. with chronic
organic disease, no matter of
what organ, are able to get
through an astonishing amount
of work. I remember a woman
with a severe case of pernicious
anemia who did a hard days

Interesting Bridge Hands

showed that Y held only one
club higher than the card led
by B, without telling what that
. card was. A could gain moth
ing by putting up his Ace, if
Y held the K, as either the
K or @ must win the trick,
so he finessed his 9, and the
declarer's lone K won the trick.
Had A played his Ace he would
have caught the K, but A never
would have won a diamond
trick, as the declarer would
have put up dummy's Ace Of
diamonds on the first lead Of
that suit, and then he would
have discarded his other dia-
mond on dummy's good Q Of
clubs.
Having won the first trick, Y
began to pull trumps. He ex-
pected to find four trumps in
one hand, but that did not
trouble him especially, as there
were only three possible winning
spades held against him, and
he could afford to lose three
tricks, and still get game. Y
led off his two top spades.
When the nine fell on the first
lead and the Jack on the second
lead. he led another round of
spades, to bump together the
remaining two outstanding
spades.
A led his Ace of Clubs and Y
trumped the trick. Then the
declarer led his Nine Of Dia-
monds and overlook it with the
Ace, on the bare possibility Of
catching the King alone. When
the King failed to fall the
Queen of Diamonds was led,
and AS King won the second
and last trick for his side.
Y trumped a return lead OF a
club, and dummy's King OF
Hearts was used to gain entry
to lead it's good diamonds. Two
leads of diamonds enabled Y to
discard two low hearts. Then
he spread his hand claiming
one trick over his game con-
tract.
Both A and B admitted that
following Y's King OF Clubs 10
win the first truck was only the
equivalent of allowing dummy,s
Queen to win the second trick
of clubs, and allow Y to discard
a losing diamond. The only
question raised was whether or
not A could have possibly made
a heart trick later on, thus hold
ing the score to four, had ne
won the first lead and returned
a low heart.
Suppose that A had won the
trick, then led back low heart.
Y would have won with his Ace.
Then Y would have led dla-
mond and put up dummy's Ace.
Upon the Queen of Clubs Y
would have discarded his last
diamond. When he led the
Queen of Diamonds. and AS
King covered, Y would have
ruffed the trick. Then he would
have given A one spade trick.
Whatever A led back either Y
or z would have won, and upon
dummy'S good diamonds Y
would have discarded his two
hearts, just as he did the way
the play really went. Y could
have made five-odd against any
defense after the first club lead.
