the curved contour of many styles of
bags. 1t can be Of darned filet worked
in colors, which Is the most unusual
decoration. Or regulation filet crochet
can be used. In each case the filet,
embroidered or plain, Is appliqued onto
the outside Of the bag. Or the work
can be done in cross stitch through
canvas basted to the foundation. The
canvas. after the embroidery Is done. Is
then cut and pulled out. leaving the
stitchery on the bag only. Or. II a
square weave of material is used, the
design can be worked by counted
threads directly on the bag.

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

throughout my system-when assured
OF another chance to bid, do not force
except to deliver a message which you
can make clear only by forcing at this
time, to convey very definite tnforma-
tion which Is not dependent on any
subsequent support or confirmation from
the opening bidder. You know that the
opener will make another bid-generally
three no-trumps-if you take him out
In a suit by bidding three in that suit.
This Is minimum response, but one
which opener will, nevertheless, not pass.
You will have another chance to bid
If your hand requires it. An immediate
force Jump takeout In four Of a suit)
you can virtually assure your partner
that there will be no loser in that suit,
that 1t Is good for five or more tricks,
and that In addition your hand contains,
for entry, q primary trick outside the
long suit. Your suit-holding must
therefore be OF five or more cards con-
tanning two Of the top three honors
This usually makes the suit solid, as q
two no-trump opening bid Is not made
on hand without at least q queen in
its weakest suit.
A Sure Basis for . Slam Try.
There is no 'if" about this suit;
there is no "if" about your hand. It
will presumably take six tricks in the
play. and your partner knows that five
Of them are in the suit named. If he
holds three Of the suit, he can posi-
lively count on discarding two losers
In other suits on your good suit. II
he holds only A or K there is a
chance Of losing trick to the Jack, and
he should take that into account In his
next response. However, generally q
two no-trump bidder will hold three to
the ace or king, or else his doubleton
will be A j, K j or he may hold @ X

have no further bid in the hand, so
that unless, partner bids the slam, you
must pass thereafter. Should the
opener now bid another suit, you must
take the declaration back to the same
number Of no-trumps. Having told
your whole story on the first bid you
made, do not rebid the same values.
The slam decision is up to your
partner.

to no-trumps you are not proclaiming
additional values of any kind. You
are merely showing preference for the
safer and higher ranking contract
With the two hands, your second bid
should be a minimum return to no

over the first example: in the second
hand neither Of your king suits justifies
a raise in that suit should the opener
bid it over your jump takeout. Your

Brash Young Hare.
BY THORNTON ". BURGESS.

n YOT always, Of course, but too
nj often Is youth needless, reck-
VI less sure that it knows best and
/ unwilling to take advice or
listen to warnings. It Is brash.
Yes sir, youth Is brash. That is. 1t Is
impetuous. It Is inclined to rush into
things headlong, without care and
proper investigation, certain that 1t
knows all there is to know.
Jumper the Hare had been much
disturbed by the discovery that there
was a strange hare boldly intruding on
his home range in the Green Forest.
Now it is one of the laws Of the Green
Forest that each one, or each family,
living there shall have a home range
or hunting territory which shall be
recognized by others as belonging to
the individual or the family, as the case
may be- BY unwritten agreement others
of the same kind respect such a range
and keep away from it. This home
range, like the home itself, belongs to
the one who established it.
It was so with Jumper the Hare. He
had established home range and he
regarded it as his very own. He knew
every tree, bush, stump and stick on 1t.
1t was big enough to give him sup
ply of food the year through. 1t was
to him Just what the dear Old Briar-
patch was to Peter Rabbit. He resented
having any one intrude on 1t, especially
another Hare.
BY the signs, Jumper had formed a
fairly accurate idea Of the intruder be-
fore ever he got glimpse Of him. He
Is q young fellow" muttered Jumper.
He is one Of those brash young Hares
who think they own the Great World.
He Is big and strong. The signs show
that He Is needless. If he were not he
would be more careful in the matter OF
leaving tell-tale signs of his presence.
He is so sure that he knows it all that
he doesn't care who knows that he Is
about. He knows better than to feed
on this range Of mine, but he thinks 1t
smart to do it and not get caught.
He'll come to no good end. That kind
never does. If ever I catch him I'll
teach him lesson he will not forget In
q hurry"
1t was just few nights later that
Jumper encountered the stranger. It
was in the very middle of his home
range that he came upon the stranger
sitting in a patch of moonlight. He
appeared as unconcerned as if he be-
longed there. Jumper stopped abruptly.
Then he thumped angrily. The stranger
merely turned his head and looked at
Jumper in the most casual manner.
Hello, grandpa!" said the brash
young Hare. Its fine evening"
Jumper almost choked with anger.

luton was this: The seedlings were
grated from the father trees to the
mother trees. There was no fruit and
all the trees planted in city streets and
parks are gentlemen trees.
In their youth the ginkgos are tall
and slender, but as they grow older the
branches form greater angles with the
trunk, the top of the tree spreads and
when planted along sidewalks. in double
rows, the arches are formed and cool,
shady streets are the result.
In the Spring the deeply notched,
bright-green leaves clothe the tree. In
Autumn they turn brilliant yellow and
soon after fiutter to the ground. The
sturdiness Of the tree. its ability to
grow fast under adverse conditions and
the fact that the troublesome fruit ques-
ton has been removed makes this a IA
vorite city tree.

= PRING arrives this week, accord
ing to the calendar. It Is the
month when thoughts turn with
~ especial interest to gardens. It
suggests the garden bowl as
particularly felicitous for Spring en-
broidery. Those who contemplate CIV
ing Easter remembrance gifts can have
no more delightfully."- appropriate design
for their stitchery than this charming
garden bowl, Of classic shape, with its
perfusion Of Towering plants and vines.
The design has a balance of rare
beauty.
The garden bowl can be developed in
various stitcheries, such as filet crochet,
embroidered filet net or crochet, darn
ing. cross stitch, knitting, bead work,
tapestry crochet, or any needlework in
which stitch occupies a square. or
more than one stitch is made to fill In
. square, large or small. The adapta-
form of work makes 1t appeal to all
women who ply the needle to make
beautiful articles for the house or for
accessories Of the costume.
AS f1let embroidery, while extremely
easy, Is new to many readers. full di-
rections for doing 1t are given on the
pattern sheet, as well as directions for
making the shaped filet crochet, fitted
to size and shape Of semicircular arm
chair tables.
The design can be carried out in

Or any color may be used by following
the key and substituting colors other
than those given.

Ginkgo.
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Ginkgo.
- NKGO trees are the oldest ex-
isting type Of tree today. They
7 have lived In America, Europe
~ and Asia since the world be-
gan and there are fossil re-
mains to prove it. The tree rs far as
records and habits 60 never grew wild.
In 1927 and 1737 the ginkgo tree was
first introduced into Europe by the
Dutch and planted in the Botanic Gar
dens at Utrecht. It is said, too, that
seeds were brought from Japan to Eng
land In 1754.
In Kew Gardens in the year 1795
ginkgo blossomed. 1t was q male
tree. A tree planted by the famous
Joaquin in Vienna flowered In 1853 and
was q male also.
The maidenhair tree, or ginkgo, is
said to have been brought to America
through the efforts of William Hamil-
ton, who obtained it from England in
| 1884 and planted it in his garden at
Woodlands, near Philadelphia. The
garden has since been used as a ceme-
terry. but there are two trees there in
perfect condition. The male tree is Z
feet and inches in girth and rs feet
high. while the mate has watstline Of
6 feet inches, but Is the same height.
Washington, D. c., has the most IA
nous avenue of ginkgoS, In the Depart
ment of Agriculture grounds. There
are 80 Of them.
The tree has no insect enemies, .
marvellous recommendation for any tree.
It will flourish In any soil and grows
just as happily in narrow street as In
open places. The roots go down deep
under the tight pavements and reach
for moisture. The tree has so much in
its favor and only one drawback. It
bears inch-long yellow fruit which is
very offensive. When ripe, 1t drops to
the ground. The decaying fruit makes
things look untidy and the odor is most
Objectionable. In China the nut Is

TN country towns of China you are
likely to see houses with thatched
roofs; but the most popular kind
i Of roof in cities Is formed Of tiles
The walls Of some Chinese homes
are made Of bricks; but "mud-walls"
are more common. A mud-wall may
be made of pure clay, but in some
cases it Is composed of clay mixed
with ordinary soil. A bamboo waiting
is often used inside the mud-walls.
Other homes in China are formed
almost entirely OF bamboo. We may
be tempted to think Of bamboo as be-
longing to the tree family, but that
is not the case. 1t Is classed as
grass. even though it grows to great
height and has a woody stem. 1t

in the custom Of building houses Of
a single story, but their homes are
spread out widely and may contain

There are not many windows In

with transparent paper instead Of
glass.

known as "Peking," but the name was

How 1t Started
That Word Clown"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

els there not something incorrect"
writes one Of our readers, "in the use
OF the word clown for a boor or
pumpkin. I mean something not in
tended in the origin of the word?
Weren't the old court testers, of whom
the modern circus clown is, of course,
. descendant, men of the keenest in
telligence and usually enjoying the con-
fidence and friendship of their ruler?
Wasn't the old jester a philosopher
and wit rather than an entertainer
Of low degree?"
The error of our reader is in assum-
ing that when We say clown" we are
applying the name of the jester to the
boor, whereas in actual fact. clown IS
the name of the boor. That is the
primary meaning of the term, for 1t
comes to us through the North Euro
pean languages, from the Danish root,
"klunt," meaning log. block. 1t is its
adaptation to describe the modern
Jester Of the circus that is an acquired
meaning. The fact is that it appeared
In English during the sixteenth century
for both "clod'' and funny man." but
the clowns of the drama of that date
were usually represented as country
pumpkins.

Jumpers eyes. usually so soft, fairly

When man gets an itch for an ofice

And a dynamite blast
