one of the most important fac- tors in securing happiness by Mrs Gunther. She related the most in- teresting experiences of her travels describing incidents in a most vivid and alluring manner. The people of China were well described in her, talk and a beautiful word pie ture of the azaleas in full bloom in Japan was also given by Mrs Gunther.

They were accom- panied by Miss Fannie Mccormack.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem


 Naturally, when Q pair is vui- nerable and you believe they have bid too high. you are anxious to double, to gain the large award for defeating a doubled vulnerable contract. However, just because you have a lot of trumps is not enough justification to double. , A good rule with which to gov ern yourself when making penalty doubles is, Do have more than one way of defeating this con- tract?"
 For example, if you have sure trump trick and what looks like a good side trick and the contract is six, it does not pay to double un- less you have some other possibil- ity of getting a trick in case the first side trick should fail.

And I'd really like to go back

PlaidS seem better than ever.
They are big and bold, or they
are small and intense. They
are for sports, for street or for
evening.
PIaids Used Bias
Plaids are used in cottons, in
woolens, in silks, and in many
of the new acetate fabrics that
are fast gaining popularity.
It's no longer supposed that
only the young and slim can
wear them, and then in some
version of the Scotch kilt. For
many Of them are sophisticated,
smart and used on the bias, or
in such a way that they are
slim and give you slender look.
Best for Sports
Although you'll find them
used in the evening, in every
thing from gingham to taffeta,
they seem best suited to the
sports mode.
They make cunning shorts for
the beach, excellent kerchiefs
for your bathing panties, and
various other gay accessories.
Handmade Look
For general daytime and
sports wear, we can heartily
recommend the plaid homespun
dress we've photographed today.
It has many good points. The
homespun has a coarse, made
by-hand look, which Is so smart
now.
The colors are lovely. Red,
black and white makes one
combination, and there's an
other with gold and brown.
Still another with blue, grey
and white.
Black patent leather makes
the belt on the red, and black
cire ribbon makes the looped
scarf, which incidentally can be
worn several ways. Taffeta to
match the dark color of the
plaid, and matching leather
trims the dresses in other colorS.
WindblOwn Effect
There's front fulness in the
skirt, in the new windblown
manner, and lapels under the
scarf that will carry out the
effect if you'd like. And, saw
ing the best to last, the dress
is inexpensive, in spite OF its
look of being one of the "better
mades." 1t is $13.95, in misses
sizes.

off -the-face or halo hat, and
the tricorne.
Fruits AdOrn
Interesting is the fact that
none of these hats are the
down-in-front, up-in-back type
that were the rage last season;
there is not so much as a sim
gle ''in your eye" hat in the
lot of them. Even the adored
beret, which seemed immortal
for a time, has retreated in
favor of hats that expose every
thing about your head but your
thoughts. For hats no longer
eclipse the head, they merely
enhance (which naturally
augurs we'll for facials and
finger waves this spring. And
another nature note in the new
hats is the replacement Of
flowers by fruit trimmings as
the season advances. Follow
ing the natural order of the
seasons, cellophane cherries
and wax grapes will sprout
from milady's hat instead of
Glacs and lilies Of the valley,
as at present.
Now, for a few fashion tips
on types that go together:
If your spring coat or frock
is of the well-known wipdblown
variety, let a little wind blow
through your hat, too. Wear
a halo hat that turns away
from your face and tilts back
on your head, such as the Suzy
importation in natural straw
with a fillet of fieldflowers
across the forehead. Windblown
may be more truth than poetry
in a case like this, for how
this type of hat will hold onto
the head in a stiff spring breeze
is a mystery. Elastic head
bands and hatpins stuck
through your chigron are a
help, of course, but you need
faith when you don one of these
fly-away affairs.

LOVELY CURLs

five years old that has lovely
curly hair, but it gets very dry
after / comb it as I have to use
water on it. She is going 10
school this fall and would like
to do something so her hair will
look nice.-P. M.
AnSwer-1 would also suggest
the hot-oil shampoo for your
little girl, but the use of oil will
eventually turn the hair a shade
or two darker, although it Is an
excellent way of revitalizing the
tiny oil glands which keep the
hair in good condition. In the
case Of a little girl, I would oe
sure she had plenty of good milk
and butter, then I would rub a
little brilliantine on the hair to
counteract the drying effect of
the water. Also masSaging the
scalp gently will help to condi-
ton the hair, because it brings

Mett|e Of
Mothers
Bv MARTHA WINSLOW

Every young mother with her
first baby has moments when'
secretly or otherwise, she Is
overcome by the responsibility
of the task entrusted to her.
It really is terrific, when one
stops to think about it. For
tunately most of us refuse to
permit ourselves to dwell on
that particular angle Of our
new job. If we did we would
be inclined to give it up be-
fore we started, appalled, by
the enormity of the task and a
sense of our own inadequacy.
Amazing Success
So we do the best we can.
We hire the best doctors we
can afford, we give our young
sters the best food and cloth
ing our pocketbooks permit
and try, as far as we are able,
to make good citizens of them.
It is amazing how many sue
ceed. Many parents, I am will
ing to wager, once their chill
dren are launched successfully
in life, have frequent moments
when, looking back, they Won
der by what miracle they were
able to bring it all to pass.
No matter how much they
boast I have a firm conviction
that secretly they attribute the
major portion Of their success
to luck.
They may take credit in pub
lie, but I am sure that in the
inmost recesses Of their hearts
they aren't quite so certain that
it was entirely due to their SUI
preme wisdom.
The young mother who Suf-
ferS from fear that maybe she
is not quite up to the job need
not dream that she is the first
to so suffer. Generations of
mothers have felt the same
doubts and generations yet un.
born will suffer as she is Suf-
fering.
Humility
It is the cockSure young
mother who refuses to seek ad-
vice or take it who is in danger
Of bungling her job.
The assumption that mater
nal wisdom is innate and in
Stinctive has sent many young
man or woman into the world
entirely unprepared to face it's
problems. The wild animal, to
be sure, knows how to care for
and train its young. The cave
mother probably was equally
we'll prepared for the response
bilities of motherhood.
But babies despite their be-
havior at times) aren't wild ami
mars. And today's wife and

Do you know I'm just the
least bit worn out with cod, sal
mon, halibut, trout, mackerel
and all such! And you, too?
Well, then, let's get out of the
beaten path today and make
use of a mess O. herring.
True, it may be a fish we
seldom consider as one for a
main dish, this herring, but
still it is a good thing to be
different from time to time.
And baked in tomato sauce
you'll find it fit to set before
the king of your family in lieu
of kingly guests.

things regardless of whether
they called for spirituous flavor
ings or not. But, I did not

most of us. But I do re-

however. if salt water forms a
good mouth wash? My mouth
is in an acid condition, and 1
was told to rinse it with salt
solution. Can you advise me?
E. HI.
Answer-Common table salt
really is an excellent dentifrice.
It is an alkaline compound, and
helps to neutralize an acid con-
dition Of the mouth. However,
Q more effective mouth wash
can be made merely by the addi-
ton of one-fourth Of teaspoon

Of peroxide to a glass of clear,

Women have learned to illus

what they are saying with
gestures-hence the grooming
Of hands Is more important.
The Handshake
No one, in a greeting, ever
wants to eagerly clasp the
hand of a woman to find it
limp and "clammy." 1t very
definitely affects your first i'm
preston of another person.
Some women-and men, too.
for that matter, have a very
limp way of shaking hands.
That is something which is
easy to correct and should very
definitely be guarded against.
But clammy hands are some
thing else again and can often
be the source of painful en-
barrassment to the person thus
afflicted. Clammy hands are
frequently due to nervousness.
They also come from poor cir
culation. Such hands too often
spoil a pair of gloves-or a
day Of pleasure.

much today.
Am I right? F.

of eat, and your sentence was
correct.

man remove MS glove Wnen ne
shakes hands, it is not expected
that a woman remove her glove
