ing game, before deciding
where he wanted the lead. The
best adverse division of spades
must be 4-3. The best break
of diamonds must be A, with
the odds all against finding
diamonds so evenly divided. Y
lost one heart trick. If he
would escape with the loss of
single spade he could fulfill
his contract. If dummy ruffed
two spades, and if Y could
discard three spades upon
dummy's diamonds, game could
be won. In case diamonds did
not break Y could go game in
case the missing Ace of Spades
dropped on the third lead of
that suit.
It was probable that the
spades were fairly evenly di-
vided between A and B. If A
had held five biddable spades
he would have shown them be-
fore bidding hearts. If B hap
pened to be very long in spades
he would have doubled Y's
spade bids. In any event Y
must first try for the break in
diamonds. If that failed him
he must try to drop the Ace of
spades in three leads. He as
sumed that the five missing
clubs were divided 50. A care
full player has to consider all
probabilities before beginning
play.
Y won the first club trick in
his own hand. He led back a
spade and dummy ruffed with
the 10 of clubs. Y gained entry
to his own hand by leading the
2 of diamonds and playing his
own j. He led the 3 of spades.
BIS j fell. Dummy'S Ace of
trumpS won the trick.
Now was the time to try for
a break in diamonds. Dummy's
Ace and K were led. The de-
Clarer discarded his S and 6 of
spades. Both A and B played
low diamonds. If only both op-
ponents followed suit on the Q
of diamonds, US contract was
assured. When dummy's @ of
diamonds was led, A trumped
and Y over-trumped. He led
his K and @ of clubs, capturing
both outstanding trumpS.
1t was an anxious moment
for the declarer when he led his
10 of spades at the eleventh
trick. If B held the lone Ace,
Y would be all right, but if the
Ace failed to fall Y would be
down one trick doubled. AS Y
hoped, B played the Ace of
spades, winning the second trick
for his side. B led back his last
heart. AS Ace of hearts went
up, but Y ruffed with his last
club, then he displayed his good
K of spades, which gave him his
five-odd doubled. He had care
fully planned his game and he
deserved 20 win.

it with all her heart. Her con-

He showed her where his
desk would stand and where
his office girls desk would

his coat pocket and measured
the wall where he would put
his filing cabinet and his book

When he had finished Mary

the ruler. III measure the

you about a place where you

that deals in office furniture.
I know about it because Mr..
Nesbit sold some of our old
desks there last year"
Don't talk to me about him."
Kim said sharply. He was still
jealous of Mark NeSbit. HE
and his office furniture doesn't
interest me a little Bit"
The office was all ready to
be occupied on the last of April.
On the first day of May, which
was a Saturday, Kim took
Mary Faith down to see it and
she put up the cream-colored
net curtains that she had made
and presented him with

Month of Beauty
The month of May was
month of beauty even in Will
ton Street with its red brick
apartment buildings and it's
narrow sidewalks. The sun
shone and the grass grew green
er day after day. The brown
grass under Mary Faiths kitchen
window began to turn
fresh young green, and every
morning and evening robin
came there and sang as if it's
little throat would burst. To
Mary Faith, hanging up clothes
or shaking rugs on the porch
the tiny square of backyard
seemed to hold the very heart
of the springtime.
And at the very end of that
month of beauty and promise,
Mary Faith became aware that
she was going to have a baby.

afterward she always remem-

Box

Every young girl should be
encouraged to travel along the
beauty way since many efforts
made toward gaining pulchri-
tude make for health and vi
tality as we'll. Deep breath
ing and daily bathing improve
the complexion, put the beams
of animation in the eye. Clear,
smooth hands are less likely to
carry bact than hands that
have only casual attention. A
balanced diet, necessary for
the health of the skin, keeps
muscles in condition, repairs
tissue wastes, promotes the
well being of the teeth.

a tough time these days find

getting bigger and better, foot

For Home Sewing

If threads used in making a
garment are we'll chosen as to
color and size they will bring
happiness to the wearer, but
threads badly chosen may bring
just as much distress. The
matching of thread to fabrics
is always an important part
of fabrication in high-grade
dressmaking establishments and
should be a major concern in
home sewing.
Be sure that your thread is
the right size for the fabric
not too coarSe-because it may
clay up" on the fabric, not too
fine because it may break.
When a seam is stitched with
the correct size thread and is
pressed open it will look as
if the fabric had grown to-
gether.

know that he had lost his posi-

There's no reason why we
should" Mary Faith decided.

that you've made up your mind
to set up shop for yourself"
And that was what they told
her.

Faith the next morning after
Kim had left the house to hunt
xor an office. But I think he'd
aave been much better off if
ned stayed right where he waS,
making sixty dollars a week
and having no responsibility at
all! Suppose he fails-what
then?"
HE won't fail. Don't you
worry about his failing" Mary
Faith said light-heartedly. She
was very happy that morning.
She was glad to have Kim
away from the office of McIn-
trae & Westcver. Perhaps he
wouldn't see so much of Jack
Maiden and his crowd of card
playing friends now that he was
no longer working with them.
And that Janet-girl-" she
went on thinking, as she rinsed
the pink-sprigged china dishes
and began to wipe them. "She
won't be under his nose all day
long any more, either" She
never had asked Kim about the
girl named Janet, but she had
always had a feeling that she
was still working for McIntrae
g. Westover.

Although prints, the 1888
prints, are so new that many
of us haven't seen them yet, e.
they are not so new that def
mite trends haven't already
been established. The fore
most trend is that prints must
be individual, and different
from the prints of other years.
The next most noticeable fea-
ture is that they are most pop
ular when they are combined
with plain colors. This seems
to be particularly true for girls,
and with women who wear
small dresses. Shopping through
junior departments, we find
that girls snatch up a good
print and plain combination,
while they may leave the
dresses of prints alone hanging
on the racks.
Prints Are Lively
The most usual way of COM
bining plain fabric with a smart
figured crepe is to have the most
of the dress of the solid color,
with just a yoke and sleeves, of
the print. Rather gay colors
are used in some of these COM
binations, though there are
plenty with the main part of
the dress in brown or black, for
practicability, and for wearing
them with coats of these colors.
The designs are usually rather
Splashy or vibrant, so that they
will definitely contrast with the
plain color. We've sketched two
combinations that show how
it's done. Plain color is used
on the print dress too, but just
as trimming on the scarf and
the ruffles on the sleeves.

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home
Saves 81. So Easy! No Cooking!

You'll never know how quickly q
stubborn cough can be conquered, un-
til you try this famous recipe. It is
used in more homes than any other
cough remedy, because it gives moro
prompt, positive relief. It's no trouble
at all to mix and costs but trife.
Into a pint bottle, pour 212 ounces
of Pinex; then add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. Syrup is
easily made with 2 cups of sugar and
one cup of water, stirred a few mo-
ments until dissolved. No cooking
needed. This saves two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough medi-
cine, and gives you a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spOils, and tastes fine.
Instantly you feel its penetrating eff
feet. 1t loosens the germ-laden phlegm,
clears the air passages, and soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes. This
three-fold action explains why it brings
such quick relief in severe coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, used for gen.
erations for its healing effect on throat
membranes. It is guaranteed to give
prompt relief or money refunded.

Poisoning by lead is more
common than one might sup
pose. Lead can enter the sys-
tenn through the digestive tract,
by way of the mouth; through
the lungs, by way of inhalation,
or through the skin. The worst
of it is that lead poisoning is so
slow that a person may be az
fected by it for months or years
without realizing what is occur
ing, or being aware of the dam
age to his vital organs.
Those who handle lead in
their work are the most likely
to acquire "plumbism," as lead
poisoning is sometimes deSig-
mated. These include painters,
typesetters, plumbers, GLACIERS,
tin workers and others who
labor in the arts. This per-
nicious' disease, however, is often
acquired in ways which one
does not ordinarily associate
with danger.
For example, there are cos
metics which contain lead, and
a woman using such articles
may poison herself. Hair dyes
have been known to contain
lead in the Innings. Chromate
of lead is known to have been
used in some instances to give
color to sponge cake and pas
tries. New lead pipes in a
house may give off lead in
water used for drinking and
cooking.
Besides the workers in lead
already mentioned, printers of
calico and sign enamelers should
be on their guard. Grinders
and cutters who can readily in
hale finely-divided particles Of
lead while at work, should wear
specially constructed respiratorS
over the mouth and nose.
Utmost cleanliness is highly
essential for all such workers.
Food should never be handled
until the hands are thoroughly
washed. Plenty of fresh air in
circulation should be demanded
by those who handle lead in any
form. Proper eXhauStS and fans
are required if their health and
strength are to be safeguarded.
The trouble is that people in
general are careless and often
LII oN0I =" T0nf foKn tho
precautionary measures they
know they should. For lead
poisoning may really be looked
upon as preventible. Even those
exposed to the poisonous prop
critics of lead can avoid actual i'll
effects if they never let down
on vigilant measures, especially
scrupulous cleanliness.
AS to symptoms, collie is fire.
quent. This comes on in spaSms.
Pressure on the abdomen re-
lieves the pain. Between acute
attacks of collie a dull, aching
sensation may be present.
A characteristic blue line" at
the margin of the gums often
appears and is a certain sign of
lead poisoning. This line does
not wash off with brushing or
rinsing. It may appear in the
early stages of the disease, and
disappear later on.
Many cases have spells of
vomiting, or diarrhoea, or both,
that come on now and again
over a period of years. In
chronic cases anemia is present
to greater or lesser degree.
A familiar accompaniment
of this form of poisoning is
"wrist-drop." The patient finds
it impossible to raise his hands.
They drop. or hang limp, and
this is noticeable when an ef-
fort is made to raise the hands
while the arms are extended.
A similar condition, foot

with big puffed sleeves is most
effective, as the check is ultra

it looks like a scarf print.

poisoning may lead to other
types of paralysis. For example,
paralysis of the optic nerve may
cause total blindness.
1t is always important for lead
workers to keep the digestive
tract clear and to concern
themselves about keeping their
general health at a high level.
At the very first suspicion Of

should be consulted.

the country and am to be mar
ried from my parents home. I
am divorced and have used my
maiden name since my divorce
in business and otherwise, and
I would like to know the correct

Most of my friends know that
have been married before and
that I have been using my
maiden name. S.
If the use of your maiden
name was granted to you by the
court as you got your divorce,
and if you have used this name
ever since, then this is the form
that you would use on your
