GE ADEQUATE WARMTH YET AVOID OVERSTUFFED APPEARANCE
BY JEAN PATOU Wrltetn aOf NEA Service

Paris.-A skiing ensemble may look the acme of simplicity 60 most people, but it often requires a great deal more study than formal gown.
 Years ago, the first time a dress creator showed winter sports clothes, this was considered sn amusing and somewhat orlBzueA idea. Looking back, one can hard ly help smiling at these so-calied sports outfits, presented by cou- turiers who until then were con sidered more or less in the light of "decorators".
 do not intend to take up the defense of these carly creations. built in defiance of all logic, but even as recently as ten years back, the styles suggested by "sports specialists" were scarcely less H. diculous.
 If therefore a woman can expect to find reasonable winter sports fashions at her couturier's to-day, clothes really intended for skiing. tobaganning and skating, tnis marks not only a step forward Tn the creation but general im- provement in style sense.
 The popularity of winter re- sorts has marked 8 steady inn proyement and every season brings new adopts. Many people thought this at first a vogue which mighI 70 out at any moment. It is not surprising, though, that at the outset winter sports led to the most varied and fantastical styles, most of them impractical, but this had to be, as any vogue Is triDu- tary of fashions.
 Things are quite different to-. day. Most women have done some kind of winter sport and they demand practical and logical clothes. I anticipated this several years ago when I showed skiing outfits in which fantasy took. II not the last, at least third place. The first thing to achieve III winter sports outfits is perfect im- munity from cold, snow. wet and must be accomplished without con- veying an over-muffled impression. besides allowing for perfect hber-s ty of movement.
 Sports of any kind usually call for warm, loose clothing with the minimum of bulk. The mod ern skiing ensemble should there- fore include garments which can take the place of jacket and which are consequently lighter in weight.
 The most practical solution, I think, Is the ensemble comprising several garments to meet all. changes of temperature and is adaptable to the varied sports practised at winter resorts. Many women wear a sweater over their skiing trousers when the weather permits, but newer than these and just as adequate, gre the man-tail- ored shirts or shirt blouses, over which a sweater or cardigan can very easily be slipped. For long, distance skiing. added protection comes in the form of waterproof wool blouse jacket, worn inside or over the trousers, which ensures sufficient warmth yet leaves all the freedom of movement desired,

THE SCOUNDRELS WHO
 PEDDLE THE CRI.

Children are notoriously suscep- tible to cri. GOwan I've defined it often enough. Mature or elderly adults are notably less likely to catch whatever is going around. To my mind there is nothing strange about that. The explanation is that children are more intimate, care less and gregarious than older folk.
 Notwithstanding the periodic iaborious bulletins to. the newspa- pers by the Johns-Hopkins eXpedi- tion, no one knows any more about "the common cold" than ever. For that matter, no one can define or describe "the common cold" In fact "the common cold' is so vague a conception that the doctors who use it as a diagnostic makeshift are quite safe, for no one can tell at the onset what the it. is easy to stall along on the fake diagnosis of "cold" until the ac- tual nature of the illness becomes manifest.
 As long as the big shots in the public health world persist in the fiction of "the common cold" not only this diagnostic skullduggery but also the vicious practice of Ieddling respiratory infections through the community 1s encour- aged and given responsibility.
 Most public health authorities or health officers, when pressed, will reluctantly admit that people ought to be careful about sneezing and coughing all over the environment when they have "colds." But tell me the name of any health officer who has ever warned the public about the peril in the conversation al spray of the scoundrel who pur- ports to have "cold." In addition I hereby offer a reward of ten dol lars for proof that any health of- ticer or healthy authority of stand ing has ever dared to deny that there is the same perik in conver- sational spray as there is in the spray of the uncovered cough or sneeZe.
 There is just this difference be- tween being coughed on and being talked to, by a person who has the cri (any common respiratory infec- tion which may masquerade at first as a ''cold.") The effective range of cough spray is ten to twelve feet, whereas the effectlVe range or conversational spray Is less than 5 feet.
 It is more difficult to keep be- yond the conversational spray range than it is to keep outside of the cough spray range, because coughing in itself is, like sneezing ground for suspicion that the scoundrel has something catching. But conversation is not suspi- cious, sign. and so the conversa- tional spray is deadly. In my opin- ion the chief cause of the cri, that is any and all of the common res piratory infec:ions which account for three-fourtns of the illness in the community, is the germ-laden spray of invisibly fine droplets of moisture that shoots forth to a distance of two or three feet, never over five feet. from the speakers mouth, during ordinary conversa- ton. And accordingly believe that the most effective prophylaxis against such infection consists in the effort to remain beyond the conversational spray range when- ever you can manage to do so, or if your occupation requires that

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

There are a couple of things to do with the cash which fortun- ately some people still find in their Christmas socks. Naturally, any, one not receiving a pair of Holly wood bunny scuffs (white fur in- side and out and heelless), will take care of that omission right away; then almost everybody these days ought to have a ski suit. un- less living is actually carried on in Trinidad or Death Valley. Ski suits no longer need to be worn just for the intended sport, accord ing to public opinion, as they're great for any cold-weather coun- try walks and play. The bright hand-knitted Canadian or Nor wegian mittens are the grapes for romping with the dog, and the twin sweaters are an asset for any chest any time. Vera Borea's newest skiing togs have plus fours, which also might do for cooling your heels in plane cockpit this kind of weather.

FAVOUR CHILDREN
6055 1YNF7 sf7V7cf' a7c
By Olive Roberts Bsrton


 Members of the average family So often 1t happens that father,
 mother and children seem to be waiting for someone's hat to drop, or the chip to fall off a shoulder, or the fat to jump, ito the fire.
 This habit of grouchiness in families grows so subtly and so swiftly that no one suspects 1t. If their friends, relatives or neigh bors were to hint that all was not serene in their daily life they would be hurt and resentful. Family Irritability Growing Yet if one appeared unexpected ly on the threshold at any minute of almost any day when this family is together the chances are there would be Q ruckus going to about something, or someone yelling, or someone quietly sulking to himself. If the family in question disdains such plebaian tactics and considers verbal fencing a higher form of the broad sword of noisy quarrel ing, things can be quite as uncom- fortable.
 Wealth, culture, or social posi- tion make little difference. The family in which the habit of quar- reling has taken root will go about 1t in its own way. One can go into house as quietly serene, seeming ly, as a dewy dell on 8 May morn ing, yet feel instantly the brittle strain of unfriendliness in every word and gesture.
 This durability and impatience is growing rapidly in American homes. It was almost inevitable for this to happen as individual inter ests have drifted apart with the years. Moreover, there are too few common ties. Each one comes in tired and the family meets at a time when nerves are not their best. And there is plenty to-day to unnerve the best of us. Talk the Matter Over What would be wrong with call- ing the family together for a coun- cil, passing the pipe of peace, and discussing the state of affairs? A mother might say. Children, and you too, Dad, and myself, have become careless of each others feelings. We are short tenn pered and fly off without reason at the slightest thing. We offend where we don't really mean to, we accuse or get suspicious when we should know better, we are dis obliging, selfish and sour. In fact
 we often treat each other far less courteously than we would treat complete strangers.
 Let us all try to be kinder, to
 help each other. We might try to smile and be merry instead of look
 ink like thunder clouds half the time."
 And any family that is worth it's
 salt will give three cheers for good old Rutgers and agree to adopt
 new rules for the home team in the future.

 The girl turned. There was something almost tragic in her earnest voice. "Oh," she said, T can't thank you! I'll never be able to thank you enough. Never!"
 Mrs Hewlett said, 1T just want you to feel at home here. Come down stairs after you've had a good rest"
 She went out, closing the door softly behind her.

 "why, Aunt Kate-?"
 "What's the meaning of this?" Kate Hewlett repeated. 'I want to know why you seat that man out here?"
 Bannister stared. Then he said slowly, oh, you mean-you mean the new house man?" . T mean the man who came here an hour ago and said you'd hired him. I want to know what you mean by doing such a thing? don't want a man around here-''

Planning beauty routine and vowing to get your scalp, hair, fig ure and complexion in excellent condition is one good way to start the New Year.
 Take stock of your cosmetic cab inet and see what you need in the way of beauty preparations. Have you either a cleansing cream or a good cleansing tonic? If you use cleansing cream, remember that a skin tonic is practically necessity. Then, of course, you need 0 nour- ishing or tissue cream. And foun- dation cream or lotion. Besides the regular preparations. how about things with which to ap- ply them and take them off? Using cosmetics is much easier and cer- tainly more amusing if you have on hand plenty of cotton, cleansing I tissues and the like.
 How about your rouge and lip. stick? Do they blend or did you run out of one of them just before Christmas and neglect to buy re- fill? We'll. the holiday rush is over now and it's well worth your while to see that there is complete har- mony among your various cosmet- ics.
 Have you been intending to get that bottle of hair tonic which you're sure will correct your par ticular scalp defect? Nearly every woman needs something for seml- weekly hair treatment at home end now is the time to find out what you need and how to use 1t.

 "He didn't look starving to mel"
 That's because I gave him I money to buy a meal. Besides think you really do need help around here. That's the reason told him to come out. thought he could take care of the fires and tend the yard and find a lot of ways to make himself useful" Kate Hewlett sniffed. T don't see any sense in it," she said. T like to do things my own way" But a lot of this work is too heavy for you," Bannister pro- tested. You've got to take care of yourself" 1T don't care. don't want him here!" "Listen," said Bannister des- perately, ''you can't let the man go before you've given him a chance. Keep him-say, just for two weeks. At the end of that time, if you want him to leave won't say 8 word."
 "Well-ali right" Where is he now?" Bannister asked.
 "Out back of the house I guess. told him he could rakeT the leaves"
 Canister beamed. '"There, you see! He's making himself useful already"
 1T could get old Tim Bailey to rake up those leaves for 50 cents.
 In the face of this barrage Ban- mister departed. He found, Jor. dan, the erstwhile policeman, set ting fire to a small mound of | leaves.
 "Well," Banister greeted him, "how are things going?" Jordan strengthened. Say, MT | Bannister," he said, q don't think that woman wants me here! I don't know if she'll let me stay" | Bannister shrugged this aside. "Of course she will, She didn't quite understand, but I've been talk ing to her. Everything's all right | now"
 Are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure."
 "Well-all right. But I've been on the force for seven years and this is the queerest job I've ever had. I don't know how it's going to work out" "It's going to work out just as we planned it." Bannister said crisply. "The girl is upstairs now. Her room's the one in the corner" He indicated the room he meant, taking care that no one, watching, would think they were engaged in anything more than casual conversation. "oh = by the way" Bannister went on, whats your first name?"
 Jordan grinned. "Frederick," he said.
 "Well, Frederick. you seem to know how to make yourself use- good job"
 Thank you, MT Bannister. I hope everything will be all right. | the way you say IL WILL.
 "Oh. don't worry about that" Bannister turned away. He wished heartily that he could feel half as confident as his voice sounded. An hour and a half later, on the stairs leading to the editorial department of the Evening Post, he side-stepped swiftly, barely avoiding a collision.
 "Hel-lo!" Bannister exclaimed. "Oh-it's you!'
 J. Randolph Gainey paused on the step above. "In person." he admitted, grinning. And then the grin disappeared. "Heard the news?" Gainey demanded.

the ten, and declarer finessing the queen which holds the trick.
 The drop of the queen of hearts by West marks East with four hearts. The fact that he went up on the diamond marks him with probably the king and jack of dia- monds. It looks as though 1t is impossible to make the contract. But South, the declarer, decides to try to squeeze East; so he leads the seven of spades. which West wins with the nine. a small club being discarded from dummy. East has to drop the eight of diamonds.
 If West makes the mistake of cashing his six of spades, which, of course, is a good card, small diamond will be discarded from dummy and East will be squeezed. If he lets go a heart. both hearts in dummy will be good, while if he lets go a diamond. or a club, those cards will be good in the de- clarer's hand.
 Whichever cards East releases, the declarer will squees< him in that suit, and the contract of three no trump will be made. This play is known as the suicide squeeze. Copyright 1888 NEA Service. Incl

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Don't think, just because you have winning trick in your hand, that 1t always is safe to cash it. In to-day's hand the declarer throws West in the lead, granting him a good trick and leaving him with another good trick. s Before cashing that good trick, West should stop to reason why South has let him in to make those two tricks. Of course. the answer is that South, the declarer, wishes to get a squeeze on the East play CT and has no squeeze card of his own; so he deliberately throws West in the lead, in an endeavor to get him to squeeze his own part ner.
 The bidding is normal and Vests natural lead is the eight of spades. A small spade is played from dummy and East wins the trick with the king.
 He returns the deuce of spades, West wins with the ace and re- turns the ten of spades. A club is discarded from dummy, East dis cards a club, and South wins the trick with the jack.
 South cashes the ace of hearts and then leads the eight of hearts, Vests queen dropping. Dummy wins the trick with the king. A small diamond ia led. East playing
