Someone has evidently been
quoting to you that old libel
on the sailor-that he has a
sweetheart in every port. It
seems to me that sailors are
like every other class. They
come with assorted dispositions.
Like carpenter, bricklayerS, and
undertakerS, some are loyal
and faithful, while some are
rovers. But why pick on
sailors in particular?

it isn't the looks but the per-
sonality that is negligible. We
usually go out together once q
week and always have a good
time, and it seems to me that
if she cared even a little, she
might admit it, but she won't.
She says that you advised her

That night she and Kim went
for q drive In the little car and
stopped on the way home for
q chocolate soda. They sat at
the black counter in the drug
store, slipping the sweet cold
liquid through long straws and
smiling at each other in the
wide mirror behind the counter.
Kim had no hat and coat on,
and Mary Faith thought she
never had seen him look so
well as he did that night, with
his hair rumpled by the wind
and the collar Of his shirt open,
showing q triangle Of skin that
was several shades lighter than
his ruddy SlII1burned face.

with ash-blond hair braided

His eyes followed her as she
walked to the back Of the store

them from her. There was an
intent eager look in them.

Mary Faith. "She works in

due to an increase Of either

the framework alone increases
in amount no symptoms may
occur, and the only objection
to the goitre in that case is
it's unsightliness. If, on the
other hand, the gland substance
is increased in amount. the
symptoms and their dangers
will depend upon the effect
which this added gland activity
has upon the body, especially
upon the nervous system.
The thyroid gland secreteS a
chemical substance known as
"thyroxin."
But whereas just enough
thyroxin goes a long way in es-
tabliShing a feeling Of fitness,
too much Of it is readily upset

clans call toxic symptoms.
"a toxic goitre," therefore,
is a dangerous one. It can, and
usually does, cause nervousness,
palpitation of the heart, digeS-
tive disturbances, perspiration

the skin in general and, in sc.
we're cases, eye troubles, among

of as "exophthalmic goitre," al

the doctor who first described
it.
When only the nervous sys-

by too much thyroid secretion,

sought. In such individuals

necessary. Much can be done
in the way Of improvement,
and even cure, by giving the
patient certain other glands
which act as antagonists to the

ABB could go out on any sue

three-odd of any suit or two-odd

rubber. Partial scores are the
worse possible places to open
the bidding, especially when
both sides happen to be vulner-
able. A bad distribution and
doubled contract may cost more
than giving the rubber to the
opponents.
1t is next to impossible for
any player, who has not con-
Stantly been asked to bid q par
ticular hand without seeing any
other hand, to Judge fairly what
he would do if he sat at the
table and saw only his own
cards. Here is a test Of your
practical ability as a bidder.
Both z and A lack the quick
trick requirements to open the
auction. Y has 73z probable
tricks. He has only one call,
that Of 3-HeartS, trusting his
partner for two tricks, and
hoping for a reasonable break
in Hearts. Neither Of which
hopes will be realized, but he
must bid on probabilities.
Can Fulfill Contract
IF B dares bid 4-Clubs he can
fulfill that contract, if allowed
to play the hand.
Whether B bids or passes, z
will feel obliged to bid. If B
bids. 4-ClubS, z must bid f.
Diamonds, in which declaration
7 should concur. Even If B
bids 4Clubs and z overcalls
with 4-Diamonds, A should not
support his partner. It is too
much to expect to be able to
go game at a minor suit when
an opponent has opened the
bidding third hand, and the
other opponent has also bid.
ABB can fulfill a contract Of
4-Clubs or they can defeat a
contract of 4-Diamonds by one
trick.
If B passes the 3-Hearts,
which his partner can defeat,
2 can fulfill a 3-Spade contract,
If allowed to hold it, but he
cannot hope to make four-odd
at diamonds.
The normal bid for z, pro-
vided B passes the 3-HeartS, is
to bid 4-Diamonds, intending to
bid 4-SpadeS in case Y rebids
Hearts. z does not want to bid
3-SpadeS, have Y bid bid 4
Hearts, and then have to over
call with 5-Diamonds.

The chilly weeks Of April
passed and May was there with
Its green banners and its warm
sunshine.
Mary Faith bought q little
white go-cart and took the baby
for long slow rides through
Haltnorth Park and down River
Street to see Mrs. Puckett.
Everything In the River
Street house was as it always
had been.
Mr.. McClintock still sat in
the parlor all day. smoking ci-
garS and reading endless news
papers and magazines. Agnes.
the waitress, was still there to
answer the doorbell and exclatm
over the beauty Of Mary Faiths
baby. Nothing was changed
except the color Of Mrs. Puck
ett's hair. She had had it dyed
q bright red instead Of the
familiar mahOgany-brown.
On her way home Mary Faith
would stop In at the Old Home
circulating library on Terrace
Road opposite the park and
pick out two or three books
detective story for Kim and love
stories or problem" novels for
herself and Mrs. Farrell.
The library was at the back
Of the Old Home Book and
Stationery Store where Mary
Faith had bought writing paper
and magazines ever since she
had come to live In the neigh
borhoOd years before: and 1t
had always been In charge Of
q faded blonde woman Of ur-
certain age whose name was
Mehitabel Mather. A name that
for some mysterious reason al
ways made Mary Faith think
Of New England in the days Of
witch burning and stocks and
pillorieS.
The Other Girl
But one Saturday afternoon
when she strolled down to the
library to return an arnful Of
books and pick out some new
ones there was another woman
In charge-not a woman really
but a very pretty girl with ash
blond hair braided around her
head and a pair Of very large
brown eyes.
''Miss Mather has gone away
for a months vacation, and
I'll be here until she comes
back" she told Mary Faith.
"I'm her niece. My name is
Mather, too"
She was very friendly and
helpful, and she took down book

Mary Faiths inspection.

Don't you think it would be
a mistake, when you are both

Better go about with a group

right. The word steady" in
this sense is not good English.
Young people use it as slang.
