Deserted His Fiancee for HeI

Deserted HIS F1ancee Tor Her
Dear Miss Fairfax:
About a year ago I met a man
who was visiting in my home
town. The first time we we're
together he said I simply swept
him off his feet, and I liked
him very much, too. We saw
each other several times, then
he went back to resume his
work. Before leaving he told
me he was engaged and was to
be married very soon. He had
been engaged several years, and
all their plans were made for
the future, even to selecting
their home and furniture.
He said he really loved this
girl until he met me, then felt
he had made a mistake, and
broke his engagement.
We have seen each other a
number of times during the past
year and he always tells me how
much he loves me. What both
erS me is this: How can I be
sure he is trustworthy? If he
was so sure he was in love with
this girl, then changed his mind
so suddenly, what could I ex-
pect any time? I like him very
much, but must admit I am
just a little skeptical about any
one so temperamental. Should
I continue our friendship or
just break off gently with this
man, and perhaps save myself
the same humiliation he has
caused the other girl?
Clara.

Clara, that you feel a bit anx-

Into detail here concerning each

ice.

rather pinkish and light. Gray

slightly discolored skin along
these tones is not a compile

Therefore the first thing
that we might advise for the
woman with gray hair is that
she try to make-or keep-her
skin clear and light. Sallow-
ness comes when the system is
not in proper order and when
the pores are not functioning
as we'll as they should.
A good diet, regular sleep
and exercise and a facial every
now and then will be of great
assistance.
The Makeups
AS for makeup, powder
somewhat lighter than the skin

help in Frightening and light

powder slightly darker is good
to give a healthier tone to the

Rouge may be necessity

women today use none or very

Lipstick and eyeshadow are
optional. Generally if one is
prematurely gray, both lipstick

Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Bceckman

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
have been taught since child
hood always to use my fork for
vegetables. Now a friend argues
that asparagus should be eaten
with the fingers, and that in
Europe finger bowls are served
at the same time. Of course,
I am only interested in how we
eat in America.
However, I am a little in
doubt as to how artichokeS
should be eaten. Will you please
advise me? H.
/. You are right. asparagus
should be eaten with the fork.
Then, of course, there is no
reason to serve finger bowls with
asparagus. However, the hostess
should make a very definite
point of serving finger bowls
with artichokes and with corn
on the cob.

eaten with the fingers. One

Play went as described: The
opening lead brought out the 8
of clubs, the @ from dummy,
and North trumped VESTS Ace.
The declarer led his lowest
trump through the doubler,
whose ] took the trick. He led
back the 7 of clubs. Dummy's
K won the trick. The declarer
took dummy's two diamond
tricks, then he put East in the
lead with dummy's last spade.
East won the spade trick with
his @, led his Ace of spades, then
exited with lead of the @ Of
diamonds, which the declarer
trumped. Having only good
trumps and hearts to lead North
had to give East one heart trick,
putting the contract down one
trick.
From the opening lead, the
declarer should have seen that
he must lose a heart trick, un-
less he forced an opponent to
lead that suit. His entire
strategy should have been
directed to force East to lead
hearts, so that no heart trick
need be lost, unless West held
the Q-J-10 of hearts. North fell
down by leading spades twice,
allowing East an exit.
Try playing the hand as fol-
lows: Opening lead is the 8 Of
clubs. Declarer ruffs, and leads
a spade. East wins with the j.
East leads the 7 of clubs.
Dummy's K wins the trick. The
declarer discards his lowest
heart. So far, play duplicates
what took place.
Play now differs from what
took place. Lead a diamond.
Win with dummy's K. Lead and
trump one of dummy's low
clubs. the last club held by
East falls. Lead the declarer'S
last diamond. Dummy'S Ace
wins the trick. Trump a low
diamond. What if East has no
more? He must lead a heart,
giving the declarer three tricks
in that suit. AS East has a third
diamond, he is caught by the
elimination of suits. Having
stripped hands down so that
the declarer holds only three
spades and three hearts while
East holds nothing except two
spades and four hearts, the de-
clarer leads a spade. East must
lead a heart, and no matter
which one he leads the declarer
will fulfill his game contract

Chinese Influence
Makes a Tunic
Fashionable

If you keep up with your
fashions, you're hearing more
and more of the tunic sill
houette. You've heard of it
rather vaguely for the past two
or three seasons, but this year,
rumors are converted into facts
and garments. The new tunic
is Chinese rather than Rus
sian, which means it's slim and
fitted, and not gathered or full.
1t starts at a rather normal
waistline, and follows the figure
to just below the hips, where
it keeps a rather straight
course, and ends somewhere
around about the knees. It's
flared, but not very much.
Breaks silhouette
Most women realize that
break in the silhouette is flat
tering, and makes for very
graceful lines, and that's one
reason why the tunic is sure
to be fashionable this fall.
Skirts are long enough now
that you can afford to break
their line, and still have grace.
A tunic is particularly good on
tall, slender people, as it cuts
their heighth, if they happen
to have too much. And prac-
tical women always welcome
the fashion because it gives
ample opportunity to put a new
tunic over an old skirt, or to
combine two materials in a
new and smart costume, when
perhaps they wouldn't have
enough for a whole dress.
Adjustable Neckline
Later on you'll find a good
deal done with separate tunics,
used as blouses or as the most
Of your dress. But right now
tunic dresses are more import
ant. We have one photographed
today that's extremely interest
ing for many reasons. It is Of
a rather sheer wool crepe, in
three tones. The skirt is black,
and so is the bottom of the
tunic. Above that is oxford
gray, and light gray tops the
dress.
The unusual neckline is held
by metal buttons, and may be
buttoned up high and snug, or
as low as you like. More but
tons trim the sleeves and belt.
Notice the smart curved line of
the fabric above the waist,
which adds further to the grace
of the dress. There's a touch Of
red in the kid buckle that fast
ems the cloth belt. The dress
is priced $3.50. The beret worn
with this dress is of black
stitched antelope, has the new
square crown effect, and is IS.
Black suede oXfords complete
the costume.

Please tell me how to address

How you address your fl

you do. If it was they who
told you to say Mother and

don't adopt these familiar names

OILY HAIR

OILY HAIR
Q.-AlthOugh my scalp seems
dry, my hair gets very oily
only three days after shampoo
ing. This condition is most
annoying, and I'd like to know
just what it's cause is. I'd also
be grateful if you'd suggest a
remedy. F. E.
A.-The cause of the hair
condition you describe may be
internal. If you are in poor
physical condition, the glands
in the scalp may, as a result,
work overtime. In this case
you should first attempt to
build up your physical condi-
ton. Again, your hair prob
lem may be due to the sham
poo you are using. If it con-
tains too much alkali and not
enough oil, the pores may be
opened to such an extent that
the natural oil will leave the
scalp and go into the hair. Su-
perficial treatment is best in
this case. Lemon rinSes after
CASTLE soap shampooings will
help to eliminate the excess oil.
Also, a teaspoon of baking soda
added to the last rinse water
will help to remove the excess
oil and make the hair soft and
fluffy.

Dr.. Bisch S Daily
Diet Hint

The expectant mother need
not necessarily eat more than
before. In fact, overfeeding
should be avoided. Foods con-
tanning calcium should be
stressed, however, and plenty
of greens and fresh fruits
should be eaten daily. Equally
important as the diet is proper
elimination. To establish this,
mild, regular exercise is to be
preferred to cathartic pills and
medicines.

the cup that cheers in Canada, or had
automobile accidents, found themselves
in jail and often subject to deportation
II unable to pay the assessed fines.
Some actually were deported.
On the other hand. Canadians en-
tering the United States found them
selves subject to the strictest sort Of
scrutiny. Many were prevented even
from entering.
Today these practices have more or
less subsided. due largely to the fact
that the depression has dictated that
the labor market In both countries be
preserved for their own nationals, and
there has been more understanding Of
the rigid restrictions which now pre-
vail
There are, however. instances in
which international good will would
have been served better had q more
liberal Interpretation OF immigration
laws been possible.
One involved the attempt Of group
Of American citizens known as hut
terites" and hailing from South Dakota,
to settle in Alberta province. They
paid cash for 5000 acres In Canada.
which they prepared for cultivation
and improved with buildings. They
then returned to South Dakota, sold
their holdings there and prepared to
re-enter Canada. They were refused
entry.
Government Gets Protests.
In their absence protests had been
lodged with the Alberta provincial gov
ernment by local Boards of Trade to
the effect that If the American set
tiers were allowed to come to Canada
they would depreciate property In that
locality. A further argument lodged
against their admission to Canada was
that the butterflies" purchased their
supplies from mail order houses. The
protest was recognized and, despite
their Canadian holdings, and the fact
that the capital Of the average family
represented was $4,000, they were re-
fused entry and forced to desert their
Alberta holdings.
On the other side Of the picture the
rigtdity of American immigration laws
is shown. Several Summers ago two
Canadian boys walked into the United
States and obtained work helping with
the Western wheat harvest. They
were picked up by American immigra-
ton authorities, and despite many pleas
in their behalf, deported to Canada for
illegal entry.
If a better understanding prevailed
between authorities on both sides OF
the line, students believe such Incl
dents. which tend to stir public opinion
in both countries, might be obv1ated.
