We seem to be more con-
vinced this year than ever, that
patterned frockS look and are
the coolest. Something about
their animated patterns keep
the suns rays from reflecting
so intensely, keeps the eye from
becoming bored with the sur
face, makes us think they're
cool whether they are or not.
Combine pattern with a cot
ton material, and you have
something that is refreshing in
deed, that is crisp and cool, that
is practical, comfortable, and in
this year of cottons, is decidedly
fashionable. You'll find that
the stores abound in these cot
tons, and your wardrobe may
have them too. But there are
new types coming out, and
most of us need more and more.
So we present some new styles
today, in our sketches.
Wolfe Looks New
Batiste and voile seem the
favorite cotton materials at the
moment that are patterned, and
they have many various ways of
achieving their effect. Batiste
is most often embroidered, and
now voile is out in printed pat
terms that are lovely indeed, and
are very different from any,
thing we've had. The most pre-.
valent type of costume is the
SWagger suit, a suit made of
dress and SWagger coat, each
piece independent and capable
of being worn with other dresses
or coats. The jacket may be
short, or anywhere down to
three quarter length, though at
the moment, finger tip length
seems the newest.
In Larger Sizes
On the left, in our sketch,
you see an embroidered batiste
suit, the kind that women have
been clamoring for these last
weeks, though now the stores
can supply the demand. This
suit is in women'S sizes, 38 to
46, and the style, with Surplice
closing and reverS, is equally
good in any Of those sizes. The
dress has cap sleeves, and the
revers are of white mousseline
de sole, with tiny pleated ruffle
edging it. It comes in black,
navy, white or brown, and is
$40, a price that is moderate,
but assures good quality and
workmanship.
Printed VOile Suit
On the right is a lovely
printed voile, the pattern rather
imaginative with big punches
of small flowers, but the suit
made with such good tailoring
that you Immediately spot it as
a street costume. It comes in
blue, brown or wine with white,
and is in misses sizes, IA to 20.
The dress has cap sleeves, and
the flowers you see are on the
dress, and are white. The
puffed sleeves are cut to fit.

The Beauty
Box
By HELEN FOLLETT

Thick, ugly ankles don't help
a girl to put her best foot for
ward. She is ever conscious Of
them. Chiffon hosiery and
gorgeous footwear that send up
the temperature of the darling
with the deer-like hoof, merely
cast her into a state of gloom
and envy.
She must get busy. She
must, first of all, give her feet
an occasional rest from ex-
tremely high heels which, not
permitting a firm hold on floor
or pavement, constantly keep
the ankles turning and wrig-
Cling, thickening tendons and
fiberS.
Running on the toes is a
good exercise. Rope jumping
is another one that Slenderizes
calves as well as ankles. High
kicking is recommended, so is
running up stairs. But the big
item is released from spiked
heels.

Fashion Fads and
Fancies

The smart set often consists
of shoe and handbag made to
match. For afternoon wear
there is a shoe of brown ante
lope with fine gold kid pipings.
The bag is of brown envelope
with gold kid trimming and a
tortoise-shell frame and clasp.
A dependable friend is the
chiffon frock for gay summer
evenings. A really distinguished
new frock is fashioned of pinky-
gray chiffon mounted over gray
taffeta. The hem of the skirt is
widened by a pleated ruche and
bright red velvet makes a con.
trasting girdle.

The declarer won the open
ing lead of the @ of diamonds
with his Ace-a useless bit OF
false-carding, as both opponents
know that he must also hold
the K. West would not lead
the @ if he held the K, and
East would everyday the K If
he held that card. With 8
clubs held adversely, the chances
for one opponent to hold only
2 cards of that suit, and so be
able to ruff the third round
when dummy did so, were very
small-just about the same
danger that one opponent might
hold all missing trumps. The
declarer ought to have created
a trick in dummy by having it
ruff a third lead of clubs, and
at the same time lead back
heart, to try the finesse. Had
the declarer played his hand in
this rational manner he could
not have failed to go game. We
had entirely different ideas of
how South's hand should be
bid and played.
South won the opening lead,
then he took one round Of
trumpS, playing for the drop of
the 4 opposing trumps in two
leads. Of course he found that
East held all the missing spades.
Even then he might have played
his one lone hope-he might
have led club, hoping that
East would not lead back a
trump, to stop dummy from
ruffing the third round of clubs.
Instead of doing this, the de-
clarer went along leading
trumps, giving East the third
round of trumps and exhaust
ing dummy of trumps. Of course
East led back a diamond. The
declarer was in the lead and
he picked up East'S last trump.
He gave opponents club tricks
and wound up by having to
lead a heart, giving East a
trick in that suit, and going
down 2 tricks. He failed to
create even one trick in dummy,
instead of creating two.

To
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

ny DEA L TCAOE A41Er m
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 20 years old and she Is
81. We went together for
nearly four years, and I treated
her swell. bought her all kinds
of jewelry, and I even bought
her powder, lipsticks, rouge and
things to make herself even
prettier. We were engaged to
be married-then the break
came. After I had gone home
she used to entertain another
fellow. It went on for a long
time before I would believe it,
I trusted her so. I still love
her and would take her back,
without asking anything. I
write to her, but she never
answers my letters. j. B.
You've had a pretty raw deal,
my dear man, and I don't be-
lieve this type of girl would
make you happy, even If she
took you back. She sounds like
a "gold-digger" to me, accepting
jewelry and never returning it
when she quit you for someone
else, and I only hope, if she
does call you back, that you
will have enough backbone to
turn her down. The "gold-dig-
ger" type of girl never made
anyone really happy. Try to
take an interest in someone
more worthy.

"Why Don't You Speak For
Yourself, John"

ASN@Ap
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man "a years
old, and have been seeing a
certain girl every week for the
last year and a half. She is
20 years old. Due to my occu-
patton the only chance I have
of seeing her is once a week.
Sometimes she tells me when
she goes out with other boys,
but sometimes she does not.
and then I hear this through
other people. I care for her
more than she really thinks
I do.
Please advise me how I could
find out whether she cares
more for my company or the
other fellows. Marquis.
It often puzzles me, when I
get a letter like yours, to
know why the simple expert
ment of asking a girl does not
occur to you boys, who stew
and fuss and still keep on in
an agony of doubt.
You know the girl in this
case is at liberty to go out with
other young men, unless you
two are really engaged. But If
you were to tell her how much
you care, it is more than likely
she would accept fewer Of these
invitations which distress you
so much.
I'm going to quote Longfel-
lows poem and say. why don't
you speak for yourself, john"

Cheating Tricks in Dummy

Sitting back of a player, so
that only his cards and those
of dummy are visible, is in
structive. Not how the hand
is played, think in advance
what you would do had you
sat in that players place. I sat
back of South when the fol-
lowing hand was dealt by him.
I would have made an opening
bid of 2-Spades, on account
of slam possibilities. He bid
4-Spades at love score. When
dummy went down it was clear
that two club tricks must be
lost. In addition it was
certain that one heart trick
must be lost, unless the de-
clarer could lead that suit from
dummy, or the declarer was
able to force a heart lead from
an opponent, and there ap-
peared no way to do this. The
declarer had other ideas OF
playing the hand.
