South, dealer, and West both pass.
Sitting North, I decided on a near
psychic opening bid of one diamond.
East doubled, South passed. West bid
one heart. I now reasoned that 1t
might not be necessary to make any
further attempt to head of game
contract. In any event, unless my
partner could make move Of some
kind, my diamonds were too weak to
consign the hand to a sacrifice in dia-
monGs, and my hand as a whole, with
at least heart trick and a club trick,
was strong enough to defeat slam, and
therefore the next move was up to the
others. If spades are bid, my partner
is likely to have four; against no
trumps, he knows what to lead. I
therefore passed; East bid one no
trump, which was passed by all. He
made two-odd. If I had passed orig
inally, my partner would have pre-
led heart, saving the over
trick.
The Duplicated Psychic.
At another table, the first round Of
bidding was the same, but North had
to be brilliant and bid q spade over
Vests heart. East bid one no trump,
and South, now concluding that his
partner had a fair hand and hoping
to drive the enemy out of their depths
in hearts, bid two spades North Is
forced to go three diamonds, which is
doubled and set 400 points BY piling
an absolute psychic on top of a near
psychic, North duplicated his defensive
tactics and turned his partner into an

only after they had retired for the
night. But one night he remained out
longer than usual. In fact, he remained
out all night, so that it was broad day
light when at last he decided that 1t
was time for him to retire.
He heard the scream Of Redtail the
Hawk, and that caused him to look
up, for he had no desire to furnish a
breakfast for Mr.. and Mrs. Redtail. and
big as he was Redtail might take a
notion to try to catch him. Looking
up between the bare tree tops he saw
a great bird sailing high In the sky.
prepared to get under cover Then as
he watched the broad-winged bird sail
in circles with no movement Of those
broad wings that he could see he sud-
denly had that same feeling that the
singing of pepper the Hyla gave him.
That wasn't Redtajl. No one but his
old friend, OF Mistah Buzzard, could
sail like that. or Mistah Buzzard was
back from the Sunny South. It couldn't
be anybody else. No, sir, it couldn't.
He had watched or Mistah Buzzard fly
too many times not to know him as far
as he could see him.
Suddenly he realized that or Mistah
Buzzard was coming down. Larger and
larger he grew as he descended in a
spiral and then finally he glided down
to land just In front Of Unc' Billy.
"Howdy, Brer Possum," said OF
Mistah Buzzard. "Ah saw yo' from way
up yonder and All come down to pass
the time Of day. What did yo' all do
through the Winter? How is Missus
Possum?"
"Howdy yo' own SELF" retorted Unc
Billy. When did yo' get back here?
Is Missus Buzzard with yo'? How do
yo' leave eve'y body way down in the
Sunny South? All reckon yo' a bit
SOP"
"Hor on. Brer Poss! Hol on! One
question at a time, and anyway nah
questions come first," interrupted OF
Mistah Buzzard.
Unc' Billy grinned. "Ah done sleep
all All could through the Winter and
din't come out 'ceptin' when All Just
had to have Somethin' to eat. All hav-
ent seen Missus Possum lately, but All
reckon she Is around somewhere and
no worse and no better tempered than
usual. Now I have answered yo' Ques-
tions," said he. 1T Is yo' turn"
Just then OIL Mistah Buzzard started
to gaze intently up in the sky. Unc'
Billy could see nothing but the sky,
but it was clear that OF Mistah Buzz
zard did. "Ah1l see yo' some other
time. Brer Possun," said he as he
began to flap his great wings heavily.
"Missus Buzzard Is about to arrive and
All done got to meet her"

Easter i'm Paris
BY ADELAIDE KERR,
Associated Press stan Writer,

PARIS R.-F1owers, feathers and
fur lend a note Of formal elegance to
the frocks designed for the parties fol-
lowing Easter. Flowers are arranged
in big clusters on the decolletage or
trailed about decollete Feathers ap-
pear in shoulder accents or decollete
outlines. while furs trim the most
formal wraps, whether waist length
or hem length.
A white satin evening gown is worn
with a big feather boa, half white and
half black, and a white crepe gown
is given a flash of color by two epau-
lettes of blue kingfisher feathers on the
shoulders. A pale green. pebbled crepe
has cluster of deep-hued tea roses
at the waistline, while a rose crepe
dinner gown has a round neckline en-
circled by pink roses.
A pale pink satin gown is worn with
hip-length wrap designed with nat
ural waistlines, many Of them being
accented by narrow twisted girdles Of
two colors. While some low-back decol-
letes are seen, the smarter models are
fashioned with medium decolletes and
shoulders often partially concealed by
ruches, frills or epaulettes.
Skirts are often long enough to touch
shorter in front to allow ease of
walking.
Pastel shades are the order for the
night, although some brilliant hues,
such as ruby and emerald, are seen.
Pure white and ivory are smart while
black is again the essence of chic.
Tulle evening frocks are the sensa-
ton of the season. Designed in black,
white, gray, brown or emerald green,
they have close-fitting hemlines and
full lower skirts, while their shoulders
are often accented by double ruche
which stands up pertly. Lacquer satins,
laces, pebbled crepes and chiffons
divide the rest of the fabric honors.
For cool evenings there are regal
velvet wraps, varying in length from
hip to hem. There are rich satins
and crepes for warmer evenings and
for hot nights designers show wispy
capes or short-sleeved boleros of or

long. and in Winter they droop and the
edges curl.
This tree has also been called the
rose or bay tree, and in some locations
is referred to as the great laurel. AS
it is famous for its hardness and its
beauty as well, it is being used now for
landscaping, and very effective results
have been obtained. Small shrubs may
be transplanted, If leaf-mold soil is
taken up with the roots. They grow
easily with little care given them, and
amateur gardeners have found great
pleasure in growing them.
The rhodora, so beloved by Emerson,
who extolled it In lovely sonnet, is
far from being as beautiful as the rho
dodendron of the Alleghanies, but 1t
certainly would apply to the more mag
nihcent one:
"Rhodora! II the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth ana
sky,
Tell them. dear, If eyes were made for
seeing,
Then beauty is its own excuse for
