The Romance of Your Name

lands In Cumberland and purchased
property in Northern Stanordshire.
The first Of this family to come 10
America was Nathaniel Bowman,
born in 1903, eldest son Of John and
Anne Beresford Bowman. He came
with Gov. Winthrop to watertown,
Mass, in 1880, and founded the New
England line. A section of Watertown
was named for Nathaniel Bowman
who was the noted cavalier gentle
man." He refused to withdraw from
the Church of England to hold ONCE
in Watertown. In England the term
cavalier was used to designate a man
who held arms and was a freeholder.
The grandsons of Nathaniel Bow
man were selected by the king to
sign his name and to Use his seal In
Massachusetts. This signal honor
was first conferred on Francis Bow
man, Esquire, Of Lexington, and de-
scended at his death to Isaac, his
son.
There were many Of this family
who served with distinction in our
struggle for independence and their
descendants have been loyal to home
and country in every great national
crisis. The name of Bowman today
is one that Is highly esteemed in all
sections Of the country.
The Pennsylvania branch Of the
family Is equally distinguished Maj.
Gen. Wendell Phillips Bowman, who
served in the Civil War as drummer
boy, also served In the Spanish
American War, and was brigadier
general Of the Pennsylvania National
Guard.

Conquering Contract

better than even. Probably some Of
you will send me hands where, in
these circumstances, would play the
hand at three no trumps and go down
one: while others, making a two-bid
In a suit, will locate an eventual
trump fit in the responder's hand, and
easily make game In the suit, or 1t
may well be slam. All right ad-
NIT it; but for each Of these, I could
cite dozen hands where my op-
four-card suit, had got to game in
suit, and had doubled them and set
them from one to four tricks.
Suit Declaration StilI Attempted.
Feeling that four no trumps would
be a pretty safe contract If partners
response to two no trumps were three
clubs, 1 would bid three spades; If he
bid three no trumps, four hearts. I
have now given him at least a choice
between the majors, and he could now
read me for a very unusual kind of
two-no-trump opening bid. II be
could still do no more than bid four
no trumps in denial of the majors, I
would pass; but If he had, say @ 10 8

good as A 10 or K @ K K he
would indeed be lacking in imagina-
ton and courage If he failed TO bid

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

hurry to get results. She tries one
method after another without giving
any one a fair trial.
The person who allows herself to
become unduly distressed over her
Is more than likely to overlook her
own good points. Her one defect-be
it bow legs, crooked nose or a birth
mark-makes her forget completely
her shapely hands, long eyelaShes and
lovely hair. 1t Is seldom, indeed, that
ones beauty points do not far out
number the defects. The latter should,
of course, be corrected when possible,
but they should not be allowed to
blight ones happiness. There is
everything to gain and nothing to
proper perspective.
1t is usually during the teen age
that girls begin to be supersensitive
about their beauty blemiShes. The
nail biters and mouth breathers be-
gin to see how ruinous to beauty these
habits can be. Crooked teeth, OUT
standing ears, knock knees and bow
legs are now seen as obstacles to
beauty to be removed at all costs, in
stead Of as inherent parts of the per-
sonality unthinkingly accepted. Be-
cause beauty problems such as these
are due to faulty habits Of neglect in
childhood, they are not readily solved,
however. Parents are to blame for
allowing such defects to become es-
tablished, but being human, they do
not always have the foresight Cor the
funds to undertake the necessary
corrective treatments early enough.
A girl who finds herself with any
such beauty blemishes should do what
she can to remedy them and at the
same time draw attention from them
by playing up her good points.
Concentrate your thoughts on your
beauty points instead Of on your
faults If you want to make the most
Of your personal appearance. One Of
the biggest helps toward becoming
lovely is the inward consciousness
that you are worth looking at. This
consciousness lends a certain poise
and radiance to the personality that
makes other people oblivious to minor
faults.

Bomman

THIS family originated about 400
BIC, when the Celts of France
and Switzerland chose Pytheas
the famous astronomer Of Marseines,
as their leader and crossed over into
Wales. There they assumed the name
of Brittones, or clothed people" They
overran the country to the northwest
of what Is now England and drove out
the aborigines or 'unclothed people"
These Celts established themselves
IN Wales and Cumberland, and when
William the Conqueror came over from
Normandy with his great host Of In
vaders he selected some of the sturdy
Celts for his ufeguard when IN that
vicinity, because Of their expertness In
handling the bow. BY the sure aim OF
one of these men the life Of the Con-
oueror was saved, and the story Is that
he dipped his finger In blood on the
battlefield and drew crosSbows on the
shield Of the hero, and bestowed upon
him and his descendants the name OF
Bowman"
The earliest records Of the family
are In the Castle Of Carlisle, and 1t
was Carlisle which was the last city
to hold out for the Cavaliers. It was
there that King Arthur held his ia
nous court Of the Round Table"

parts. When the mind is obsessed
with an idea, it can powerfully affect
the body. An extreme example OF
this condition Is illustrated in cases OF
hysteria in which the patient exhibits
symptoms of disease he doesn't really
have. but thinks he has. In the cases
of beauty problems mentioned it Is
easy to see how, when the mind con-
tinually magnifies their seriousness,
physical reactions are stimulated that
actually make the blemishes worse. 1t
Is apparent also In cases Of nervous
habits. like blushing, that they can
not be cured by allowing ones
thoughts to dwell upon them.
To have a beauty blenish Is bad
enough, but to become morbid about
it is ten times worse. This state OF
mind is responsible for the failure Of
many courses of beauty culture, be-
cause the sufferer is in too great a

Put a good tablespoonful on each

@ODAY We are giving typical
example Of what the best
dressed child in Paris is wear
Il ing. One has only to study
the simplicity Of the frock
sketched to realize that its entire
charm rests upon just three points
exquisite material and needlework,
perfect fit (Which means neither too
tight nor too loose) and the immacu-
late freshness of the frock itself.
In France, as well las in America,
mothers who pride themselves on be-
ing good in their jobs, look upon other
mothers, who place style before COM
fort, as women who have failed utter
ly in their calling.
To be In good taste, a child's
clothes should never make her SELF
conscious. If for any reason they do,
then they are all wrong, and no
amount of real lace or fine needlework
can be accepted as a substitute for
natural charm,
The favorite materials for little
frocks, this season, are hanky lawn,
rose sprigged dinity, sheer linen, fine
bingham iplalI or d0intily checked,
and dotted swiss; the popular colors
are pink, blue, maize, green, apricot
and new shade of rose geranium.
This little pattern is the easiest
thing possible to make The design
is simple enough to allow for a little
self-expression, in the treatment of
finishes. Using the same pattern,
make some of the dresses with mar
row colored bindings, at the collar
and sleeves, others with fine lace
hand-rolled onto dainty organdy con-
trast, and still others may be adorned
with fine dots Of hand embroidery.
Barbara Bell Pattern, No. 1248-B,
Is designed in sizes 1, 2 8, 4, 5 years.
Size 4 years requires / Is yards Of 35-
inch material, 1lz yards of lace edg-
ing.

IF YOU really want to make the
most Of your personal appear
ance you must believe in your
own beauty. This is just another
way of saying that ones attitude
toward beauty problems should be
positive and not negative.
Many girls make the mistake Of
dwelling SO much on their beauty de-
fects that they aggravate rather
than cure them. OF course, one has
to give thought to beauty problems
to determine the best type Of treat
rnent, but when one permits ones
mind to brood over them the result
is sure to be the opposite Of that de-
sired. Becoming worried and self
conscious about certain sorts Of
blemishes like red noses, skin erup-
tions and superfluous hair may actu-
ally make conditions worse by in
creasing the blood supply to these

Four-Card Suits and Two-Bids.


V YESTERDAY explained why
" the. bidding Of a four-card
suit In response to q tWo-bid
4 Is taboo under my system.
Now let us consider why the
opening bidder should never make a
two-bid on O four-card suit. You

What should you do2 Admittedly
there are only three losers in the
hand, and 1t is clear that you have
game In whichever major suit your
partner can support with four small
ones. It Is, however, also true, is 1t
not, that three no trumps is cold un-
less they can run five clubs Of i'm
mediately against you. To my mind,
this hand is. before you hear other
wise from your partner, far more
promising In no trumpS than In suit.
II your partner does not have four
cards in any suit but clubs, and no
high clubs, this hand may well be
utterly wrecked In a suit. If you were

bid all the suits before you stopped
bidding. The opponents will be told
to lead club even if that is not their
natural lead-and, unless you want to
throw away aces and kings, you will
have to trump club lead and re-
duce your hand to three trumps
while the opponents still have six
trumps against you. AS you have
singleton yourself, it is quite likely
that one of them has a singleton
trump, leaving the other opponent
with two more trumps than you have!
When you lose control of the trump
situation, all the high cards in the
deck will not save you. would
rather miss q game here and there
than expose myself to the risk Of
being massacred as the result Of a
two-bid in which lost control Of
| trumps though the hand was not a
freak Of the goulash species. With a
hand of this type, where you have
game in no trumps provided only that
they do not open clubs or cannot run
five clubs right OF the bat.
Bid Two No Trumps.
Yes, know you have q singleton;
but you also have a singular hand.
If your partner can make any suit
response, it can presumably only be
| in clubs. In that case, three no
trumpS is perfectly safe contract.
If by any remote chance he can bid
q six-card major suit, or f1ve-card
diamond suit to the queen now, you
step out and bid Immediately six in
that suit. An opening two-bid in a
short suit, with all its attendant risks,
was not needed TO get to the slam.
II your partner has no club suit to
bid, his response will presumably be
three no trumpS. AS you know, he
should do this with no more than a
queen and jack or their approximate
equivalent In his hand. One Of these,
or some kind of stopper, is almost
sur.ly clubs. Even If clubs are wide
open, since the bidding has been
merely two no trumps, three no
trumps, pass" the opponents are en-
tirely in the dark as to what you
have. The adversary on lead may
well have A @ or K j or some
similar tenace holding In clubs, and
be unwilling to lead away from it
against a two-no-trump opening bid
Then again, the suit may be blocked;
or It may be held 4-4-4-1. Your
