and a scarf collar that may be
worn different ways. This cos
tune comes in good dark color
combinations, black, navy or
brown predominating. 1t is Of
silk crepe, comes in sizes So

other jacket costume is of one
of the new SheerS, is in the
same sizes, and at the same
price. 1t has plain color dress
with printed top, and a plain
jacket, with scarf that can
again be worn two or three
ways. Notice the slenderizing
affect of wide sleeves on the
jacket, but tight cuffs on the
dress. Nice touches such as
little imitation hand-finished
edges make these dresses look
much better than their price
suggests, and they are as smart
in larger sizes as in the smaller
size, which Is photographed.

SLAVE-WIFE.
Well, my dear, I'm not 60
ing to quote anything nasty
about water reaching its own
level; but it seems to me when
the wife of a well-to-do man
finds herself in your plight,
it's largely her own fault.
I've heard only one side of the
story, but granting that's the
true side, I'd begin my domes-
tic reforms with the New Year.
And I'm going to tell you
what another correspondent
did. Her husband was a miser
with no real interests in life,
but boarding. She drudged for
IL years, then she began to
charge things, and her rich
husband had no choice but to
pay the bills, as his name
stood for a good deal in the
community. What suggestions
have my readers for domestic

A Wife-Drudge's Story

My husband was a WldoWer
with two children when I mar
ried him. He is very well to
do, having property, stocks,
bonds, and cash, also he is a
miser with no thought of any
thing but money. He doles out
SIS a week, from which I have
to pay everything - clothes,
food, milk, gas and electric
bills, insurance and all other
incidentals.
More than half the time I
have to borrow money from my
sister and friends to keep
things going. If I buy a winter
coat, I must pay more than
it's worth, because I have to
buy it on weekly payments.
When I try to talk to him and
tell him I'm a slave, he tells
me he keeps a roof over my
head and gives me enough to
eat. He is equally callous to
his first wife's children, of
whom I am fond and would

There are few who do not
"get the blues" once in a while.
Women experience such occa-
sional fits of depression more
frequently than men, although
man is more prone to the blues
than he probably is willing to
admit. Children are not wholly
exempt from such indisposi.
tions, either.
The blues do not arise with
out a reason, however. OF that
you may be certain, despite the
fact that a person often won
ders why he feels sad, for he
cannot think of a possible
cause.
The causes for the blues may
be organic or functional. That
is, they may arise because Of a
disordered state Of the body, or
because of a disturbed state of
the mind.
On the organic side the con.
dition of the digestion should
first be thought Of, since toxic
states arising from failure of
complete intestinal elimination

two tricks in that suit.
Had A made an opening
lead of a heart the declarer
would have lost only one heart,
one club and one diamond
trick. Had A led a club the
declarer would have lost no
tricks in that suit. Giving his
adversaries two heart tricks
and only one diamond trick
would have allowed the de-
clarer to have gone game. Had
a diamond been the opening
lead the defenders would have
won only two heart and one

of a trump defeated the con-

Disclosures From Card Led
Give all possible information
to your partner. He needs in
formation more than the de-
clarer does. The latter already
knows the entire 26 cards Of
his side. Your partner knows
only 13 cards of your side,
until you enlighten him.
. Yesterday we referred to the
information conveyed by a K
lead and the next card. If
you lead the Ace, followed by
the lowest missing card of that
suit, you show no more.
The Q may be led from o.
10. Q-J-9, o.. or the @ alone.
j may be led in similar fashion
from J-10-x, J-10 or j alone. If
Q-J-X-x or J-10-x-x, or more are
held, ordinarily the fact that
only two cards are in sequence
makes a fourth-best card prefer
able to the honor lead. Some
players lead the Q from four
headed by o.. without either
10 or 9, but that point is still
debatable. Usually the @ from
five headed by Q-J.9 is a good
lead, while the @ from only
four headed by Q-J9 is none
too good.

Prints for larger women have
always been a question for
argument. Some women still
contend that prints make them
look too big, while others have
learned that they can be quite
slenderizing, if the right print
is chosen, and if it is used
right. They have learned the
few simple rules of selecting
rather small patterns on dark
grounds, of insisting on fairly
straight lines, and most of all,
they have trained their eyes
to pick the type of print that
is right for them. The rest
is easy, for certain prints make
you look smaller than plain
colors.
A break in the monotony of
an aII-prlnt costume oy means
Of tucking, of introducing
bands or parts of plain color,
and by white touches, are all
helpful in giving a slender ef-
feet. This years fashion Of
combined prints with plain
color is particularly gracious
to the larger woman. Scarfs
are helpful too, and the jacket
is a woman's own garment,
so that we have an unusually
good collection of printed cos
tunes for women this spring.

She may be as sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal-the talky-
talky kind that tells you all
about everything. even your own
affairs. Again, she may be the
terribly facetious type, that
turns everything into would-be
humor-a jokesmith that never
quite hits the anvil. Or again,
she may be a creature of ap-
palling reserve, who makes you
feel like a worm, wondering
what she's up to back Of that
silent hedge.
Making Her "Kill"
The heavy, taciturn Highbrow
Girl has been known to make
her killing by getting unwary
young men to explain to her lit
tie things like the EinStein
theory. The flattered young
man, doing his best, not infre-
uuently suffers the fate of the
fly that has ventured too near
the fly-paper.
other Highbrow Girls are
what might be called pipe
dreamers. In a state Of raptur-
Gus imaginingS, they pass their
time dreaming that if they real
ly settled down to it, they could
write a better play than Ann
Christie" or Green Pastures"
a better book on Chinese life
than Pearl Bucks Good
Earth" make better statues
than Rodin modelled; better pic
lures than Rembrandt painted.
Such heart-warming assurances
make the Highbrow Girl critical
of everyone else's achievement.
If girl has brains-real
brains-She is smart enough to
conceal it, as she would the
handicap of e club foot. Men
don't like girls who have the
reputation of being clever. The
clever ones put it across with
out advertising.
To talk to an acclaimed in
tellectual is too much like put
ting away a ton Of coal after
dinner-it's such hard going.
Lumpy and realistic, you have
q sensation of being taken
across the bumps.
Looking at portraits Of won1-
en- who have history, one is
amazed at the scant equip
ment of beauty with which
they forced the world to stand
and deliver. And then one
remembers that these super
sirens were never HighbrowS-
or Blue Stockings, as our great
grandfathers called them-but
all were GOOD LISTENERS.
Her Willing Ear
The willing ear has turned the
trick where the Cupid's bow
mouth and the lovely eye haves
failed.
A young man has written me
an amusing letter about a girl
who "infests' word is his
own-the group of young peo-
pie with whom he goes about.
Evidently this Highbrow Girl
is of the tinkling cymbal type.

"but she nabs me, drags me
off to a corner and treats me
to a gabfest. White, dark
meat and giblets, she grabs
the entire conversa t ional
chicken. I can't even get away
with a bit of the gizzard."
The highbrow girl helps to
roll up Spinster statistics, be-
cause men are afraid of being
bored by her. Standing on
their Constitutional rights to
the pursuit of health and hap
piness, they rush off and marry
her moron sister in preference.
The saddest thing about the
highbrow girl is that, in old
age, she throws away her heavy
intellectual baggage, and is apt
to grow kitteniSh.

channels, newspapers and radio
broadcasts, and the cooking schools
which the bureau conducts through
out the western states have also
done much to familiarize women
with the services available to them
without charge. Large year, ap-
proximately 10000 western women
in liz cities attended these schools,
and this years total is expected to
exceed that figure by many thou
sands.
How carefully Mrs. Wright has
built up the organization which she
heads is shown by the fact that
not one of the home economists of
the bureau. lacks either university
training in household science or
practical experience in the COM
mercial field of home economics.
Mrs. Wright is herself a GRADUATE
of the University of Washington
and has been in charge of the
home economics department Of a
newspaper of national prominence
as we'll as serving a number of
leading national manufacturers of
food products. Her weekly radio
broadcasts are heard over 19 lead
ing western stations and her audi
ence is reckoned in the millions.
Mine Of Information
Western women have found the
Safeway Stores Homemakers' Bu-
reau a veritable mine of informa-
tion on recipes, entertainment
ideas, table settings, meal plan
ming and dietetics. Since its in
ception less than three years aeo.
the bureau has sent prompt replies
to more than $4,000 letters of in
quiry on these and other subjects
pertaining to home economics, and
thousands of homemakerS in the
west look upon the bureau as be
ing vitally important in the routine
of their domestic duties.
In selecting the personnel under
her, Mrs. Wright stresses the i'm
portance of a youthful outlook and
: of youthful enthusiasm.
$50 long as they are amply
equipped with training and eXper-
ience," she says st favor the en-
ployment Of young women for the
various duties of our staff"
The result has been that while
every home economist in the bu-
reau is veteran in knowledge and
its practical application, they are,
in a large measure, women who
have brought to their tasks the
enthusiasm and curiosity of youth.
Housewives throughout the west
have found that they have bene-
fitted by this policy through the
untiring research work in food
preparation which these highly
skilled home economists have per-
formed and are performing every
day in the year.

SAFEWAY STORES WILL CONDUCT
COOKING SCHOOL HERE SHORTLY

While local housewives are look
ing forward with much anticipa-
tion to the Safeway Stores Home
makers Bureau cooking school
which will be held here for three
days commencing February IA, Is,
and 16, III Fox Imperial theatre,
not all of them have full under
standing of the scope of the or
ganizstion which is sponsoring it.
Those women who have, in the
past, availed themselves of the
many services which the bureau
renders are keenly aware of its
value to the thousands of house
wives who call upon it for assist
ance and advice, but even these
women do not, perhaps, compre-
hend either its size or its scope.
Now in its third year of opera
ton, the Safeway Stores Home
makers Bureau is not a one-Wom-
an organization, nor is it operated
by four OF five persons. AS a
matter of fact, it employs 20 wom-
en- at its headquarters in Oakland,
California, and many more serve
the bureau in various capacities in
different sections of the United
States.
Founded nearly three years ago
by Julia Lee Wright, who is serv-
ing as national director, the bu-
reau at the outset confined its op-
erations to one small office So
swiftly, however, has it gained the
confidence and the enthusiastic
acceptance of western housewives
that it now finds even its present
four commodious departments
cramped quarters at times.

made conscious of the bureau
