hopelessness sets in. People don't know what to do about the social situation.
 However, in suburban com munities, neighbors are being drawn closer together. Shabby clothes don't necessarily lessen the morale of those who have been well-dressed because they know that all of their friends are wearing them, too. People are proving to be good sports after the first shock of readjustment. There Is a neigh. borhood rivalry in the white-coliar class to see who can keep up the longest"
 The shallow people, who bought their satisfaction in terms of com mercial amusement, the group wno are sunk, he asserts. Their pockel- books are bare. They can't pur- chase pleasure. They don't know how to create 1t.
 "Peopie need to develop a ca pacity for objectivity," the speciaI- ist says.

 New York-Woman's place may i be in the Nhome, but mans place isn't. That is one of the things that the present economic condi- ton. with its prevalent unemploy- lnent has proved.
 A man and woman may live to- gether. happily for fifty years-if they don't see too much of each other. But when they do, the wed- ding march will strike up a belated discord.
 At least, that is the opinion of Dr George K. Pratt, who has com- piled a report on What the de- pression is doing to family life" Issued the other day by the Na- tional Committee for Mental Hy- gfene.
 Sometimes there is sufficient sympathy and understanding for the husband to sit in the window, or wipe the dishes, day in and day out. But as a rule, his wife will develope nerves if he is always in sight, and he will cultivate a hang-dog attitude, grow irritable and nervous.
 RULES FOR HAPPINESS
 tIdle husbands shouldn't stay at home too much" Dr Pratt says. Husbands and wives may want to be fair and tolerant but just the same they sometimes seek to pun ish each other for the deprivations and injuries to their selft-esteem imposed by each on the other.
 There are four general rules that might keep relations harmon jus, First. now that Deople are thrown together so closely, both the husband and wife should get away from the home and each other at least three or four hours 9 day. Go visiting relatives, to the

 "fn the third place. try to dis cover within yourself some per- sorial resource or hobby to drain off the unwholesome tension. RIDE YOUR HOBBY For example, if you have always wanted to be cartoonist get some paper and sketching materials and start to look at the comic side of your tragedy. If you have walled because you never learned how to play more than "The Maiden's Prayer" on the piano, begin to practice your scales again. Preserve your health." Dr Pratt adds as his fourth rule.

 "The father is home so much, when he does not have employ- ment, that the idea1ism that ab- sence gave Is shattered. On the other hand, children often learn to know and like their fathers bet ter since friendship has chance to develop. The thing works both ways. There is a danger. though, that the children will have an over-
 dose of parents with both the fa- ther and mother at home to direct them. The fathers rules may in- terfere with the mothers.

However, the final contract un- doubtedly would be the same.
 The Play
 West opened the king of spades, which Law, in the South, trumped with the four of hearts. He then led a small heart and won in dummy with the jack. His next play was a small diamond, fnessing the jack from his own hand ana West winning with the ace.
 It still looked as though Law would have to lose a diamond trick. West continued with the queen Of spades, which Law ruffed with the nine of hearts.
 Law then led the five of clubs. West went in with the jack and continued with the Jack of spades and here is where Law made the exceptionally fine play.
 He trumped with the ace or hearts and then led the ten or hearts, winning in dummy with the queen.
 The king of hearts then was played and on this Law discarded his losing six of diamonds. Now, as the club suit broke, he had the rest of the tricks.
