Sue listened quietly while Cor rinne's voice ran on. She wond- cred why her sister was explaining so readily and quietly. She had made no scene. But her vice grew tired before the recital ended. ''Is that all you wanted to know?" she appealed to Harry. "Corrinne, I'm sorry. I didn't doubt you not for a minute. | Oh, it's ridiculous for you to even imagine I did. But I was worried about you. You're so young men, Harry. We have to-" Cor rinne answered quietly. But you know that I didn't mean to pry? It was for your own sake. You understand, don't you, Corrinne?"
 "Of course" She smiled and there was the old elfin magic in the hint of laughter. "I under stand" Then her face was seri- ous. "But--but Harry, what made | you confide in Sue instead of In me? You always do. Don't I rate any more?" Her voice broke. She threw back her gypsy-dark head and turned away. But Sue and Harry had both noticed the tears that trembled on the long black lashes. "I-I-Oh, I'm going to cry and won't!"
 She hurried away from the | kitchen.

It isn't every woman who can wear veil well.
 If you have round, merry, chubby face, don't don a veil. It breaks your face in half and makes it look round and chubbier but not merrier.
 If you wear glasses, try the veil before you buy 1t. Most women with glasses look infinitely better without veils.
 If you have dark skin, go easy on veils. They cast shadows and perhaps you don't happen to need any shadows at all about your eyes.
 If you are feminine and like lit- tie dressy hats. then perhaps you are the original yelled lady. They do have an allure. They do add a speck of intriguing mystery to the right hat and the right woman. But 1t must be the right hat. Sportsy things are terrible with veils on them. So are many of these fiat, straight brimmed sail ors that have wells tagging from their brims. Berets, little tricorns. and other tip-tilted bits of hatgear often look irresistible with little wells.
 But be sure the hat is for you and then that the veil does some- thing both to you and to the hat. Usually a milliner attaches n veil when a hat specifically calls for one. Adding your own is some- times the worst thing you can do. So be very very sure that n veil is good move and a right one. be- fore you step out behind it.

Oh, no, I wouldn't try to do that. You might be sorry" Then she turned toward Janet. "Will you go tell my mother that we're here?"

Secretary, American Bridge League
 There is altogether too much thought given to high card tricks and biddable suits in making orig inal bids. | don't believe that you can ever play good contract until you will try to picture what is go- ing to happen after your opening bid.
 Certainly you need quick tricks and biddable suits--but when you get two biddable suits, as did the declarer in the following hand, the danger is that partner may hold only the other two suits and may have no support for either of your suits. There- fore the hand will be misfit.
 This hand was recently played in the Cleveland Inter-Club Whist league city championships.
 The Bidding
 South, the dealer, opened with one diamond. West passed and North found himself with two biddable suits. but his first re- sponsible was easy-one heart, a one over one force.
 South made the third con- structive bid with a one spade response. This is forcing in two ways; first. it Is another one over one: and second, 1t is the third constructive bid.
 North should have no difficulty with the hand. He should not name his club suit because to do so would be telling partner that he was not prepared to play the hand at no trump. and would be asking him to support one of the two suits named.
 However, with North's tenace position he would like to play the hand at no trump if his partner will permit him to do so and should try to get the infor- nation regarding this early. Therefore his proper bid is one no trump.
 South will then bid two dia- monds. showing thst he does not believe the hand will play well at no trump. North's next re- sponss Is two hearts. to show Q

five card heart suit.
 South would bid three dla- monds and North should abandon the idea of playing the hand at no trump but should support partners diamonds by bidding five diamonds.
 Many players attempted to play the hand at no trump with dis astrous results.
 The Play
 There is an interesting play to make five diamonds. The most difficult opening would be the six of clubs which the declarer must win with the ace in dummy
 He must immediately proceed to cross-ruff the hand between spades and hearts. When he leads the queen of hearts to the ninth trick. East will cover with the king and the declarer must discard a small club. West will do likewise.
 When a club is returned by East. declarer will trump with the eight of diamonds which West will overtrump with the ten. but he must now lead into the declarer's ace. king, jack. giv' ing him five odd.
