INTO THE OTHER CAMP

Ickes contended at the time
that the nomination of Harding
violated every principle for which
the Progressive Republicans had
stood ever since 1912. He broke
with his party and came out in
support of the Democratic nomin-
ees, Cox and Roosevelt.
Ickes went even further than
that for Roosevelt. In advance of
the Democratic Convention, he
urged upon George E. Brennan
the Illinois Democratic leader, that
the best man who could be named
for Vice-President on the Demo-
cratic ticket was Franklin D.
Roosevelt. of New York.
Brennan supported and worked
for Roosevelt in the convention
for that nomination.

AS TO THE FUTURE?

In the 1928 campaign, IckeS was
inactive, but he voted for Alfred
Smith. In the presidential cam
pangn of last year, he was chair
man of the Western Progressive
headquarters and worked actively
for the Democratic ticket in the
Western States.
All of which makes it interest
ing to speculate on the probable
political future for Ickes. 1t is
limited constantly in Washington
that President Roosevelt has plans
of his own for the Democratic
party. He hopes, it is said, to
bring together the liberal elements
of both parties by next election
time
His Cabinet appointments and
overtures to the Progressives would
seem to indicate this
Ickes may figure large in the
political picture in 1886.

The Rhymins
O Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS

BY ALTNE MICHAELIS
Winter VioletS
In dread I shrank from wintry
ways
OF life, forbidding, drear;
Like shadoWed, songlesS forest
maze
They touched my heart with
fear.
Some strange, uncanny spell
seemed laid
On each untrodden path,
Which left me stricken and dis
mayed
Before that formless wrath.
And yet, today. these violets
I found in winters room,
So beautiful. my heart forgets
All else is chill and gloom.
Why, if a violet can thrust
It's glow and perfume through
The winters sunless, chilly
dust,
Can I not struggle, too?
Can I not bring my purple
gift
When all life'S ways are bare,
And, though its dead hopes
round me drift,
Fling fragrance on the air?

he had nothing to lead but q

last trump, and A hoped to

2 led his last diamond.
Dummy overlook with the Q,
then led the 10. On this good
diamond the declarer discarded
his j of spades. leaving him
only his Ace and K of that
suit.
The declarer played the hand
with great skill. He won one
club trick; three heart tricks,
two spade tricks. two diamond
tricks; dummy ruffed one club
lead and the declarer ruffed
one club lead. BY very care
full planning the declarer was
able to win 10 tricks without
having to take a finesse in
spades. All the opposition won
were two diamond tricks and
one club trick, giving the de-
claring side it's four-odd doubled.
A also should be accorded
credit for his play of the hand.
He gave the declarer every op-
portunity to make a mistake,
but the declarer just would not
take that spade finesse.

In all the excitement of
tailored spring fashions. suits
and street clothes, we've
neglected aftern oon things.
That's because most people put
their first effort and money
into things to wear on the
street, then turn their attention
to afternoon and evening
clothes. But it's high time to
begin rounding out a spring
wardrobe, to fill in the gaps,
for the social season is far
from over, and there will be a
round of festivities at Inaug-
uration time that will demand
spring clothes. So let's start
on costumes for luncheon, for
tea or an afternoon Of bridge.

If A had made an opening

clarer would have lost no club

carded his lowest club upon an
established diamond in dummy,
thus losing only two diamond

too smart to play that way. He

about as good a way to exist as
any. It takes less trouble, at
any rate. Indeed, a person may
continue to be so wrapped up in
himself for years.
But then trouble comes, or
doubt, or fear. A priced job
may be lost: a beloved member
Of the family may die; a press
ing and important problem may
have to be solved. What then?
AS Cicero remarked in his
famous essay on Friendship:
1T lightens adversely by shar-
ing in our griefS and ankle
ties" Yes. when the spirit
is sorely tried, a friend with
his gracious understanding is
like soothing ointment to q
burning wound.
If you happen by nature to
be shy and retiring, at least
try to make a friend Of some
one whom you respect and ad-
mire, no matter how long it
may take. Best of all, select
a person of your own sex but,
perhaps, a little older than
yourSelf-one to whom you can
confide your deepest and inner
most thoughts and whom you
know you can trust.
Don't be afraid to try; don't
be heSitant about making ap-
proaches. In fact, a person
whose friendship is won too
readily should be held under
suspicion. A truly noble char
acter is not given to grant
ing intimacies quickly. Such
an individual must first feel
satisfied with his appraisal
of yourself before he-or she,
as the case may be-is willing
to take you on as a close COM
panion and confidant-in short,
a friend.
Yes. try hard for friendship.
1t is worth it. And when you
do manage to bind a good friend
close be careful lest the tie be
broken through careleSSness on
your part. For friendship not
only must be made; it must also
be held.
Apropos Of friendship, try to
cultivate a real interest in your
self on the part of your doctor,
your lawyer, the minister of your
church, one of your former
school teachers or a person of
similar authoritative standing.
Such individuals can do a great
deal in helping you, through
sound advice, over the rough
places. They will also stimulate
you in your strivings ever up
ward and onward.
And don't forget to write to
your friends. to visit them, to
remember them with a card at
Christmas and line when
birthdays occur. Such little at
tentions keep friendship green
and alive. In fact they are
essential nourishment for this
truly beautiful relationship.

as these ladies are allowed to

Proper Age for Making Dates

Proper Age for Making Dates
Dear Miss Fairfax:
This is my problem. I am IA
year old and am in the first
year high school. I go with a
lot of nice girls and they are
in the second and third year
high, and some are in the
eighth grade. They all go out
nights, but I can't, because my
mother won't let me, as she
says am too young. How
old do you think a girl should
be before she can go out
nights? Will you please answer
this as soon as possible.
DODO.
Well, my dear Dodo, I've seen
girls of IL and II out nights,
but they didn't belong to that
happy class of children who are
properly looked after at home.
Sixteen is the very earliest age
at which a girl should be al
lowed to have dates. If you
begin running about at nights
now, you'll become bored with
school and want to quit before
you have had an education.
Then you'll have to take what
unskilled people take in life
lust about any old thing. Be
patient; you've plenty OF time.
Bread.Winner Has to Stay Home
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I'm 16 years old, working
steadily to help support the rest
of the family, as my father died
some time ago. My mother does
not want me to go out at all.
Since I'm working, feel en-
titled to a little pleasure. When
I ask her she first consults my
married sisters, and what they
say goes. I only want to go out
