Paris has rediscoVered the
chic of corduroy. Her designers
make coats, suits and frockS OF
it. Dinner and evening gowns,
soft and velvety, but so much
more practical if you don't want
to be extremely formal, sports
like suits, and dresses of rather
tailored character. Mirande
even makes suits with lavish
furS, brown fur on beige cordu-
roy, or soft green's with light
furs. We in America aren't put
ting our furs on them yet, but
we are using corduroy in every
other way, already, and for all
we know. perhaps We will soon
elevate the material to the
heights of wearing furS.
Narrow Vale Best
Last year when corduroy was
first used for suits, the wide
vale seemed Smartest, but this
year, fashion has gone contrary
and decided that it must have
a narrow vale, the narrower the
better. So you'll see most of the
dresses and suits made of fine,
silky quality, so closely striped
that you have to look twice to
tell it from velvet in a subdued
light. 1t may take any sort of
trimming. One smart model
that's going about town is for
dinner or supper wear, is sleeve
less and only moderately low
cut, but has crisp organdie
flowers making sleeves and trim
ming the bodice. This is espec-
tally good in black and white.
Another Shirtmaker
But the newest thing we've
seen is the shirtmaker frock of
corduroy. The fabric seems to
be suited perfectly to the style.
The one we've sketched is of a
narrow vale, soft silky corduroy,
and to repeat the striped effect,
it has white cotton wide-wale
pique for collars and cuffs. This
touch of white at the throat and
wrists is as diminutive as posi-

CHAPTER XXXV
Long after Joe was asleep
Valentine lay awake, worrying,
brooding.
What was the mater with
her? Why couldn't she be
happy like other people? The
Claus were happy and the
WilloweS were happy, and Mar
jorie was happy with frankie
:. but WE'RE they happy? She
wondered, wiggling uncom-
fortably, trying to imagine her
self married to Mr.. Claus or
Mr.. WilloWes, or Frank Vogel,
and begging glad she was mar
ried to Joe instead.
But life oughtn't to be like
this. fuses and cooking and
dishes to wash, and seeing
people you don't like, and not
seeing people you do!

used to dream about love and
getting married she never
thought that it would be like

z passed. A made an open
ing bid of 1-Spade. Y passed.
I bid Hearts. My partner (A)
shifted to 3-Clubs. Rather than
show my second four-card suit,
by bidding 3-Diamonds, and
perhaps have him support one
of my suits, thought it better
to bid 3-No TrumpS, knowing
that he would not allow that
make to be played if his hand
called for suit declaration.
He passed.
Like the majority of able
players. 2 did not believe in
such blind stabs as leading
short suits at no-trumps, when
he could open a long suit. Even
if that suit had been adversely
bid he often would open it
when he held its high honors,
especially when he held high
side cards that might win tricks.
He was a willy and dangerous
player at all times. z made an
opening lead of his 2 of spades.
On its face, this was a fourth
best card, but one never could
be certain that it might not
be a fifth-best card when an
opponent had bid the suit led.
Dummy split equals, by playing
the 10. 1t would not do to al
low Y to win with the 9, in
case he happened to hold that
card. VS. @ won the trick.
Y returned the 6 of hearts;
obviously a fourth-best lead, as
z dropped the and my K won
the trick. If z had led from a
four-card spade suit, after it
had been adversely bid, it was
almost certain that he held a
1888 division of cards among
the fourth suits. AS Y had led
back what seemed to be a four
card heart suit, in all prob
ability Y originally held two
spades, four hearts, three clubs
and four diamonds.
Careyul players try to deter
mine hand patterns as soon as
possible, verifying them as play
advances. If the first estimate
of card distributions was correct,
I could win without a finesse
two hearts and four clubs. If
my diamond finesse went wrong
I still could win three diamond

The chronic helplessness of
men when they go wife seeking
Is enough to rouse the compass
sion of a hungry tiger. They
fall for ali kinds of spurious
decorations, which have no
more to do with securing
home and real happiness than
the meringue on a lemon pie
has to do with real nourish-
ment.
They fall for garnishings,
poor dears, and pass up real
things!
Athletic Ideal
The young professional man
I began to tell you about fell
for the athletics ideal. The
girl he picked was splendid
golfer. She could swim, ride
and play tennis. She was as
healthy as a morning glory
and knew as little about house
keeping as one of them.
Once or twice, before they
were married, she had made for
the young doctor very poor tea.
She didn't know, apparently,
that tea must be made with
boiling water. But he was very
much in love and he didn't
realize that poor housekeeping
would become chronic.
A cook was hired, but the
bridc didn't know what to buy
or how to order, and the cook
was SO wastful that too much
of the income went into the
garbage pail.
The silly young wife, with
her cups and ribbons for this
and that sports achievement,
thinks it's all terribly anus
ing"
The idea of anyone imagin-
ing for a moment that she
knew anything about house
keeping! It's just too absurd!
Why not go to domestic
science institute and learn
som e thing about keeping
house," the young doctors
older sister asked. with little
acid in her voice.
Acquire Housekeeping
But l haven't a minute"
And the bride reeled off a
string of sports and engage
ments that kept her going all
day.
The husband, between seeing
patients and going to hospitals,
is picking up meals in restau-
rants and cafes, and his dyS-
pepsia is getting worse daily.
It's getting so bad, in fact,
that he is going to spend his
two weeks vacation in sani-
tarium in the hope of improv-
ing. Meantime, his golfer COLTS.
We are said, and with some
truth, to be a law-ridden peo-
Pile; but we could do with an
other law on the statute books
one to the effect that some
slight knowledge of housekeep-
ing be required of a girl before
she undertakes the response
bility of marriage.

"Hopelessly blind because
someone failed to do the right
thing at the right time"
Those are the tragic words
that a physician is likely to
mutter as he looks at the faces
in a school for blind children.
Pathetic and terrible as these
opaque, Sightless eyes are, their
existence is rendered doubly so
by the knowledge that virtually
all blindness in children is pre-
ventable.
The common cause of blind
ness in children is infection of
the eyeball during the process
of birth. The person of the
mother may harbor germs
which get into the baby's eyes
and set up the inflammation
which results in soaring and
opacity of the cornea.
And the prevention is so sim
pile! About so years ago a Ger
man obStetrician, Carl Crede,
feeling, as did all doctors all
over the world, the tragedy in
volved in having babies blinded
during birth, began to search
for a way to remedy the situ-
alton. He reasoned that it was
logical to suppose that if the
germs in the eye could be killed
off Immediately the crippling
infection would not occur. He
made a series of painStaking
Investigations on different Solu-
tions which might be dropped
in the eye with safety and still
destroy the germs. He was
finally rewarded by the discoV-
cry that a l per cent solution
of silver nitrate dropped in the
baby's eyes Immediately after
birth would accomplish the de-
sired results.
In DR.. Crede'S hospital 500
babies were born in year. Be-
fore he began the use of silver
nitrate 10 per cent had infected
eyes, ind in most instances the
disease resisted the most intel
ligent efforts at treatment.
Blindness resulted. After the
use of silver nitrate was begun
less than one child in 200 de-
veloped infection in the eyes.
When these results were an.
nounced physicians all over the
world began enthusiastically to
use the method.

tricks, sufficient to fulfill my
game contract. I could not af'
ford to risk a finesse in both
diamonds and hearts. unless my
idea of hand patterns was
wrong, so that an opponent
would block the free run Of four

won the trick, and finding that
both opponents followed suit on
the first three leads, the 4 of

that suit.
There had been played eight
tricks, of which I had won six.
In sight I had one heart trick
and two diamond tricks that
could not be lost. I played out
those tricks, completing my
nine tricks fo~ my contract. I
had left in my hand the j of
hearts and the 4 of spades. z
sat over me with the @ Of
hearts and the Ace of spades,
so that he won the last two
tricks, giving his side only four
defensive tricks.
Even without ability to de-
termine the hand patterns
about the table, any thinking
player must have planned the
hand as I did, but the hand
patterns might have been my
salvation on a more difficult
hand.

Wedding Announcements

Your column is the first /
turn to each day, and even
though this is the first time
that I have written to you, you
have helped me several times.
I am about to be married Sc
cretly; that is, only members OF
his and my family know about
it. We plan to announce it i'm
mediately after the wedding, so
what would be the best way to
do so?
If my wedding is informal,
such as I plan it to be, would
an informal letter to our rela-
tives and friends do? How
should it be worded? T.
I'm so happy that you find
the column helpful, and I'm
happy, too, to welcome you as
an "active reader"
Since you plan to announce
your marriage Immediately after
the wedding, the most con-
venient way for you to do this
would be to send formal, en-
graved announcements. You
may, if you wish, have these all
ready - engraved, addressed,
stamped-to be sent out when
you wish.
The fact that your wedding is
to be informal doesn't mean
that the form of the announce
ment should be informal. But
it is just as correct for you, if
you wish to, to write informal
notes of announcement. Just a
friendly little note telling the
news. Like this, perhaps:
Dearest Marie:
This is to be a little note
to take you the news of my
marriage. Tom and 1 were
married on Tuesday, the first
of September, in Saratoga.
Our families appreciated the
fact that we didn't want
real wedding" with all the
attendant festivities, and so
we went to Saratoga. to be
married quietly" And, of
course. Marie. we want you to
be one of the first to know
of it.
We're looking forward to
seeing you soon, and we both
send dearest love to you now.
Affectionately.
If you plan to send the
convenient formal announce
ment, be sure to have it en-
graved. 1t is, as a matter Of
fact, better not to send any
announcement than to send a
printed one. This is the form:

used, for instance: Mrs. Clara
