She broke off abruptly as a
sudden loud sound came from
the dining room. The sound Of
Dodie singing one of her favor
ite blues, just behind the velvet
curtains that hung in the door,
way between the two rooms:
"'Feelin' tomorrow
Like I feel today,
I'm goin' to pack my bag
And git away"
It was like a warning, and
Sharlie knew that her mother
was listening to what she was
saying. Lets go out into the
hall. I'll walk down to the door
with you," she murmured to
Mr.. Collins. She found his hat
and overcoat and gloves for
him, and they went into the
hall.
There was a tiny bead Of
night-lamp glowing there, and
smells of the other tenants

voice that was as hard as brass.

up from the stair beside her

at the top of her head for a
minute or two. well, I guess
that's all there is to be said"
he added, and went heavily
down the stairs.
Before he reached the bottom
Of them, Sharlie heard the vesti-
bule door open, and the sound
Of swift feet coming UP. From
where she sat she could see
the top Of Jim Barnum'S soft
gray hat. He whipped it from
his head as he came around
the turn Of the stairs and saw
her sitting at the top of them.

he grunted a Hello" to her as

The bidding

l. An aggressive hand Bidding the
higher ranking suit first.
2. There is no conceivable holding
that would give North an original bid
that did not contain two aces. No
opening lead can cause the loss of a
trick If coming up to this hand conse-
quently three no trunpS is bid instead
OF forcing takeout Of three diamonds.
8. Showing the second suit and &C
cepting a slam try
4. With the spade ace and the heart
ace definitely located. South is anxiouo
to get Information about the club ace.
He therefore bids diamonds.
5. If North had the club ace, he
would now show it. The bid \of five
hearts therefore shows an aggressive
two-suited hand lacking the club ace.
6. A sure contract.
1t will be seen that six spades, six
hearts or six no trumps can easily be
made with this hand. But it was
played in a duplicate game, match
point scoring, and all the players bid
ding six no trumps received higher
points than those playing six hearts.
In one instance, the club ace was shut
out and the six heart bidder scored 210
points for making all the tricks, but six
no trumps also scored the same
amount. The game and slam bonus
scores are. of course, the same In either

Clothes and Beauty.

FASHIONS in clothes are the great
l. est known stimulus to the quest of
beauty. This Spring they spur on more
than ever before.
We are becoming hand conscious be-
cause of the new fashions. There are
changes in dress styles that make it
imperative to have lovely hands.
Three fashions CT Spring that center
attention on the hands are: Important
looking sleeves. many of them ending
just below the elbow; the revival of the
types of jewelry favored in the Ed
wardian perioG-thcse large and at
tention getting bracelets and rings
and the little hats with the f1uttering
wells that their wearers are constantly
adjusting
1t is rather shocking to see uncared-
for hands adjusting a hat above a face
that has had every attention in the
way Of massage and good makeup.

Woman Who Plans Dress
To Suit Age Successful

feeling I was trying to create. should
perhaps permit no contrasts Of access
sories. Shoes and gloves and hat might
all carry out the quality felt in this
woman. BY pointing to her most OBJ
vious characteristics l believe that !
might give such woman real dis
tinction.
T BELIEVE that the older woman
might discover the real pathway to
distinguished dressing is she would fol-
low my suggestion and aim to express
her own temperament or individuality in
dress. do not for moment suggest
eccentricity. But do believe that al
most every woman has certain good
features that ought to be emphasized
and made the central point of her
dressing. 1t may be an unusually clear
complexion. rare among women OF her
age. BY the choice of colors, she may
easily call attention to her superb color
ing. 1t may be the shade of her hair
that is interesting BY wearing cos
tunes of the same tone. or of sharp
ly contrasting tone. she may give her
self real personality.
There is just one more idea should
like to suggest. That is, the older
woman must give far more attention to
her costume than the younger woman.
She can't be led astray by every whim
Of the mode. She dare not yield to the
fancy of every new color, of every new
style, at the cost of appearing ridicu-
lous. She must choose from the gamut
Of the seasons styles those that are
suited to her. She must search for the
exact nuance, the very hue that har-
monies with her coloring. If gray is
the mode. she does not take just any
gray, trusting to bright eyes and clear
skin. to make it becoming; She searches
until she finds the very gray that brings
out her own best features. If there
were only one mode and only one color,
women might be pardoned for unbe-
coming dress But in any season there
are dozsns of modes, dozens of colors
The wise woman searches until she
finds her own.
