When she had tried to talk to him, hop ing that she could explain her pres- ence in the hotel that night before, he had been evasive, trifie bored. She couldn't talk to him.
 Finally she had left him. He had not seemed to mind. But she knew that he was remembering that only the night before he had seen her leave her hoel room with Courtney. Then tonight he had found her starring in Courtney's theater. But he had accepted the Invitation to the party, she also

= YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton

Every child needs a little world of his own--his own room, a play room, an enclosed porch, shed, or a playhouse. Furthermore. the bigger the place he has to run in outdoors the better. He should have a yard to slide in, in which to build a snow man, or to play ball or build things. When I say "he" I mean girls too, for now that we are more intelligent about childhood we no longer turn thumbs down on the tomboy. Bless all the tomboys, say I. It doesn't interfere with this business of be- ing lady, and is conducive to health and above all to. an open mind.
 like the open air for play, but now we must go back to the sanc- tuary of the playroom for the mo- days when weather does not per init outdoor fun.
 Not long ago was In & new kind of playroom--or playhouse rather. It was built of logs like a minia- ture cabin. Inside there was q "eacher's' desk and stool and four tiny desks and benches for the pupils, two on each side of the center aisle. Around the walls were real blackboards. The three window blinds were white but otherwise unlike. On one were numbers up to 50, and all the mathematical signs, on another. small letters, and on the third cap ital letters.
 The whole affair was not over ten feet long by eight in width, and am perfectly sure cost much less than some toys we see to-day. for q carpenter had put even the simple furniture together.
 ., A Shift Of Scene
 The furniture was, by the way, movable. Take out the desks and benches, go upstairs and get Be- linda, and Lady Anne and Dolores Celeste. their bureaus, beds, cook ing stoves and trunks and presto you have a doll house, in earnest.
 If your girls" are boys. such q place would make a grand club house if the crowd could fit into an eight by ten sanctum. What a place for the thousand and two things that boys think up to do! Why Is 1t that people build play houses for girls and so seldom for boys?
 or, course when we can scarcely dig up enough money these days to pay rent or taxes, 1t seems al- most insane to talk about extra dwellings Just for the kids to play in.'' y
 And who knows where to get logs, anyway? And boards cost money!
 Listen, sister. We used to keep

Later the groups of four who had completed valentine were partners at the game of Hearts.
 Hearts made from stout wire and wound with pink tape were used in q version of ring toss, the hearts taking the place of the usual rings.
 There was q leap year auction planned which was heaps of fun. The girls were given pink bags holding small pink cardboard hearts. Each one represented one dollar. An auctioneer mounted a stand and read cards, previously prepared described poetically but without naming him. some man in the party. Then the girls began to bid for the men, the highest bidder getting him. But as he was designated only by number 1t was not until all the bidding was all over and the men were told which number represented each that the girls knew whom they had bought. If the bidding went above the num- Der of dollars girl had she can tinued bidding by promising to redeem her debt with forfeits sug- gested by hostess.

Jack stood up. too, as he saw Sue get ready to leave. Well come again. Nancy" he said. You shouldn't have too many visitors at once." T understand. It all depends on who the visitors are," she said. "I'n send Corrinne downstairs If you want me to-" "She wouldn's stay" Jack ans wered. She's all right. Just---im- patient"
 And over-excited and too quick to jump at conclusions. and q little unreasonable and rather selfish. Yes. she's all right" Nancy agreed. Then she changed her voice. "Oh, I'm sorry, Sue. But I'm 50 exas- perated with the child for the things she's been doing that I had to say something. If I talk to her she will think I'm an old hen. Come back, often"
 She dismissed them with smile and they went out the side door of the room, just as the others came in the door near Nancy's lounge.
 Now for the party" Jack said. "Courtney's apartment isn't far"
 There was a sound of voices and laughter as they entered the room. Ruth. her face animated, came to meet them.
 I'm so glad you got here" she said. T was afraid that something had happen to keep you from com

The Lacey girls were planning their annual Valentine party. Mrs Lacey wanted the party to be good fun but she did hopo there would not be too much silly senti- mentality. She knew enough to avoid direct commands but helped the girls in their hunt for ideas. One stunt called for squares of rcd chintz or cheeseCloth. Each boy was given q square and told to cut out a heart and then to make some sort of tear Or rent in it.. His partner had to sew the tear neatly. A prize was given for the best piece of sewing done in the shortest time.
 Comic valentines, one-quarter as many as there were invited guests wore purchased and cut into four pieces. Each piece was folded. At the sound of a bell each person helped himself or herself to one piece. When the bell sounded again the pieces were unfolded. The game was won by the first four people who completed n val entine. It took much matching and scrambling to get a completed Valentine.

 This is an absolute game-going bid, and may be made irrespec- tive of whether there has been an intervening bid. The bidding must be kept open by both players until a game declaration Is reached. This is the most important response to the opening bid of one as 1t an- nounces g. hand where there is, in all likelihood, game for the partner ship If they can get together. The game e-demand take-out indicates a minimum of three and one-half high card tricks and Likelihood of game in the two hands and is a much more important bid than the opening game-demand bid where the preponderance of high card tricks and proba bilities of game are banked in 13 cards and not distrib- uted among 26 cards.
 The Jump Shift is made by an overcall of just one trick more than necessary in any unbid suit not in no trump.
 The requirements for making the ame-demand take-out are as fol- lows:
 (a) The hand must contain a biddable suit.
 (b) Three and one-half (3 1-2) high card tricks.
 Co If in response to an origin al bid of one no trump, the hand must contain a no trump count, which, added to that of the orig inal bidder. with total at least 24.
 When player has made an open ing bid of one, suit or no trump, and his partner has made q jump- shift take-out, the original bidder must respond unless an intervening bid be made by an adversary, which will operate to. keep the bid ding open. And even in the event of an intervening bid the opening bidder should bid again if he has more strength than he has an- nounced or if his hand contains an- other bid. He thereby furnishes his partner with all available informa- ton concerning the character and content of his band. It Is only by the free exchange of information between the partnership that suc- cessful game and slam contracts are reached.
 The conventional responses pro- vided for the opening bidder are as follows:
 l.. Rebid a strong five-card or longer major suit.
 ?. Raise a major suit take-out if holding adequate support for IL; and with neutral support if lacking a more advantageous bid.
 3. Name a second biddable suit.
 4. Rebid strong fve-card or longer minor suit.
 5. Support a minor suit If hold ing adequate (possibly neutraD sup port for 1t.
 6. If unable to comply with the above requirements. bid the neces- sary number of no trumps. (Copyright 1881, NEA Service, Inc)

 Presently Ann understood. It was confused with what Mrs Red fern had said and had been say ing for long time. and with the basement in the Redfern house, and with old customers who were still to be served. but one fact emerged clearly-in August Ann would be out of a job.

 Speaking of jobs said Kenny, "I know of one that I'd like to have you consider. The hours are long, but the duties are-how do they say it?--comparatively light. Fact-about all you'd have to do Is put up with me hanging around and have your cards engraved Mrs Kenneth Homer Smith,"
 For one silly minute Ann had hoped. The disappointment, ad- ministered suddenly. demanded reprisal. "That is simply ab- surd," she said. "I've tol dyou so often. If you don't stop boring and bothering me about 1t all the time I'll stop seeing you. I think I shall anyway. You've agreed over and over to be friends--but you won't try to be. You have no conception of friendship--nor of anything but having your own way. told you wished to go straight home. Here we are, go- ing across the river"

 "Im sorry I was mean. Kenny. It Is all right. But I am so-so frightfully worried today"
 "Yes. Ever so many things. I'd rather not talk about them, though. Please"

 She decided that she would make a last desperate effort to explain She waited until he was alone Then she went over to him. "I'v left home. I'm a wandercr now"
 "so Sally said. Wasn't 1t rather | foolish ?"
 Foolish? don't understand" Her eyes were large and puzzled.
 ITO become angry because your parents objected to man you knew?"
 "oh-h-!" So Sally had talked. Had woven the story to suit her own needs. And Dr Raynor had believed. Something cold and hurt and numb took possession of Ruth. Her eyes still sparkled but her lips froze into n thin red mask.
 "I don't think you understand just what happened" she said. But she would make a desperate chance to explain last night. she decided.
