individuality noticeable. Your acquaint-
ances understand you in terms of your
personal tempo.
Some interesting questions arise
Does a person keep a constant tempo
all through life? In other words. is the
personal tempo the same in childhood
as it is in maturity and age? Or again,
is there community tempo? Do people
living in the same restricted environ
ment come to have about the same
tempo? Perhaps there is a family
tempo that is compounded out of native
traits and environmental influences
Or again, is the personal tempo influ-
enced by states of health, seasons of the
year or time of day?
Finally, is there such a thing as a
race tempo? This racial characteristic
has often been mentioned by students
OF racial traits. 1t is generally referred

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

point scoring one must all too often
60 for the higher-ranking declaration
even If one knows that the risks will
be greater. In rubber play, however,
one should take great trouble to un-
earth the safest contract when there
is a choice of alternatives
Some of the best illustrations of this
appear when we get to three no trumps
without ever mentioning suit, but
thereafter develop a suit slam which
turns out to be far safer than the no
trump slam would be. Derrick Wern-
her and William F. McKenney (Secre-
tary of the American Bridge League)
bid the following hand perfectly against
me in a rubber game recently; and
McKenney then played the hand so
as to avoid all the risks.
South dealt and bid a no-trump,
largely to protect his king of spades
and in view of the heart ten-ace A
diamond bid would, he expected, elicit
no trump response from North: they
would presumably get to three no
trumps, and a spade lead through the
king might lose the timing of the hand
and defeat it. The no trumps by
North, three no trumps by South, and
now the deferred slam try by North
four no trumps. Five hearts by South,
seeking for a trump suit held "A and
intending to bid six diamonds if North's
response is five no trumps. His black
suit holdings makes a suit slam appear
safer If the right spot can be found.
North. of course, raises the hearts to
six, which is the final contract.
The Play.
Note that six no trumps can be made
if the heart finesse wins. Six hearts,
however. are made without a finesSe.
Mr.. McKenney decided that he would
assume a fairly even suit distribution
in the opponents hands until this
assumption should turn out to be
wrong. An unrevealing spade opening
was won by the king. Next, he plays
the two high diamonds and ruffs a
third diamond All folIow-the suits
are evenly held. Thus it is safe to
play two more rounds Of spades, South
discarding the losing club. Next, the
two high clubs are cashed, and then
North's losing club is rufed. Now the
North hand is left with the six OF
spades. and K 5 of hearts. South
is in the lead with A of hearts and
the of diamonds. He plays the
diamond and ruffs 1t with the king;
then leads the spade from dummy,
overrufing East if the latter trumps;
and now the contract is safe. as he
laws down the trump ace and comedies
the last trick. Had Declarer riSked
the heart finesse. West would win and
play another trump. Declarer would
now be unable to do all the necessary
rufing and also pick up the ten OF
trumps.

New Year Coifures.

IF YOU are indulging in a new hat
to celebrate the New Year. it is
probably a cute little thing that
l. perches on the right side of your
head or else it is a halo style. In
either case you will want to plan your
coiffure in relation to the hat and
have two suggestions to help you with
this problem.
The two smart coiffureS that I am
describing today are especially becoming
to the girl or woman with rather large
features. although they can be adapted
to other types by readjusting the size
of the waves and the placing of the
curls.
The first coiffure has a rather high
part on the left side so that there will
be enough hair on that side to make a
pretty arrangement beneath the edge
Of your hat. The waves should be deep
and wide. one at the temple and one
over the ear. The ends are drawn back
over the cars and secured with a low
curved barrette or comb set parallel with
the rim of the ear. On the right side
of the part the hair is brushed straight
away from the part, then brought down
in deep dip on the right side of the
forehead above the center of the right
eyebrow. The next wave is at the temple

if she so chooses.
A length of one of these textiles,
six inches in width or more, can be
interlined and then lined with satin,
and have little inside pockets made Of
gathered or fiat satin Sewed to lining.
The strip is then folded twice. The
outside fold is Shorter than the two
other parts, and forms the flap. The
sides of the folded edges beneath are
sewed together for the bag portion of
the envelope purse. It is advisable to
fit the outside flap with snap fasteners
for security.
1t is the trimming Of the bag which
supplies the novel feature. On the
flap is sewed as smart bow of the
material as the worker can fashion
Or she can match the color of the bag
in heavy ribbon and get the sales
person at the ribbon counter to make
the bow. which the woman can, her
self, sew to the flap.
A bag that is minus a bow can be
made in latest style by sewing bow

J he has one part Of his name,
and the fact that he loves the
Arctics and is found where the
snow is abundant is the reason for the
other part. These spurs act as snow
shoes or skis. The ruffed grouse, as
you know, grows a pair each Winter
to help walk the great snowy fields.
All longspurs have a habit of squat
ting while resting. When they are dis
turbed they run along the snow quickly
and lightly, finally rising into the air
with a sharp "click" This sound is re-
peated several times and the bird moves
with swiftness and grace along the
ground. When they alight they look
as if they are taking a sudden tumble.
Another thing about them IS their
habit of flying in circles. AS they go
round and round they keep up a steady
chirping and by its sound they are
love making. 1t is only at mating time
they are so talkative and, like the sky
lark, they have the loveSome habit Of
singing as they fly. The males are
beautifully marked and each longspur
can be identified from his cousin, but
the maidens are so alike that only their
mates can tell them apart.
Though this bird loves the Arctics,
and is known in the Northern United
States. he may be seen in the Winter
in the Middle States and many of them
gather in Kansas and the Rocky Noun
tains.
Wherever you see the longspur he is
on friendly terms with Sparrows, snow
buntings and other Winter birds. He
is a shy bird. and as long as food is
plentiful he will stay away from human
habitat tions. Hunger and wind CfUen
drive him to seek food where somehow,
he has found it is provided. At bird
cafeterias these birds have been seen
running ninbly along the ground, pick
ing up the scraps dropped by other
birds or joining them at the banquet
table.
