returned small spade, which dummy won with the king. East dlscarding a heart.
 The jack of clubs was played next, East covered with the king and Hadded won with the ace. He now led n small diamond and played the ten from dummy. East winning with the king.
 East returned heart and Had dad finessed his queen. which held the trick. He now played the queen of clubs and then a small club. which East was forced to win with the ten.
 It was immaterlal whether East returned q heart or diamond. as Hadded had the remainder of the tricks. When East covered the jack of clubs with the king he prac- ticaliy marked himself with the ten spot. Of course. the play to the ten of diamonds marked West with the jack of diamonds.
 If Hadded had attempted to go over to the diamonds and finesse the club again, he would ave been blocked in the dummy. and would not have been able to make the small clubs. s (Copyright 1894 NIcA Service. lnc)

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

The Chateau Cresta restaurant opened its gates to a soiree given by Mrs Harry Reichenbach, widow of the famous publicity exponent. The guests included the Marillyn Miller and Nita Naldi good looks on the feminine side of the picture and the escorts were all presidents of something or Grover Whalen cohorts. While rumor has 1t that Mrs Reichenbach returned from Spanish to launch ono of the fa- nous Spanish wines wearing @ label with very noteworthy eccelsi- astical signatures on 1t, she herself says she came home to get some clothes which didn't make her look like toreador in a breadlipe. While the Senoritas envy American clothes and hats. 1t seems that they still consider cur personal freedom and equality with men something unmaideniy, If not actually to be sneered at ever so slightly.

gray suit, unless it's the very new copper-clay with navy.
 Glace kidskins are best sellers for street wear. However, if you're enc who likes white washable doeskin, stick to it and still be in fashion, Remember, though, that it's better to buy imported doeskin a trifle more expensive, but guar anteed to wash without shrinking or losing shape.
 Gloves for the cocktail hour are beauteous wisps fit for a princess. Made of white or pastel leather that has been treated to look like Eigskin (only of course much soft er), they are perfect complements for long, sweeping cocktail frocks
 For sports, there are grand lit- tie hand-stitched numbers in wash able leather and in that old old favorite, pigskin. Patous pigskin sports gloves which have received fashion circles, have long, Gaunt- let cuffs held in place with leather straps that buckle in front.
 Dinner models are delectably feminine. Some of the more lux urious are of moire with leather palms. And for evening, we have new versions of elbow length white kidskins, stitched for interest. Re- member, by the way, that vertical stitching on fingers of gloves makes hands appear more slender, fingers more tapering.

and save and cleave to one man you bored him. If you behaved as Lila had you crashed up in more spectacular fashion.
 The crisis left her light-headed She moved quietly about. undress- ing, so as not to disturb the baby Her mind felt light and free now quite apart from her body. She would have 70 make plans. She would have to spare her family Daddy It was q long time later --an hour perhaps = after she had crept into bed that she began to cry.
 Tt can't happen as simply as this" she said to herself. "Oh, Tommy--Tommy!"
 The day dawned bright, smil- in, clean washed after the rain There were things to do, to keep hand and heart busy. Thank God thought Gypsy duly, remember ing Lila, for things to do. Break fast to get. Orange juice and cer- cal and toast and milk for David She could not eat--she simply could not eat. And bathing David. And waiting, with sort of stricture at her heart, for the telephone to ring.
 But Tom did not call. Not all through the long morning. Elsa came and Gypsy sent her out with the baby in his cab. She made beds and dusted, all with sick heart. once she called the hos pital where Derek had been taken and she was told his condition was the same. "No change" said the dispassionate voice at the third floor desk. Hunt telephoned and, in an apologetic tone, said he was sorry if he had butted in last night. Gypsy assured him it was quite, quite all right. She under stood. They had all been a little crazy last nigh, she said, and laughed shakily. Hunt had gone to to say he was lunching with Sue. Thank the Lord, he added with apparent irrevelance, the mess had been kept out of the papers. Gypsy had seen suddenly and clearly what he had meant her to see. He was perfectly will ing to play around with young married woman, beau her to par ties, even hold her hand a mo- ment too long at parting. so long as it didn't involve him any fur ther. And he was going to see Sue. Sue would take her advice and be her old gay, careless self with him; they would make 1t up.
 "So that's all right" she said aloud putting the telephone back into its cradle. Somehow, though. she was not as overjoyed as she should have been. It didn't make her like Hunt better, this realiza-

work and has "just cold" to keep out of the kitchen, but if she will take the simple precaution Of cov- ering her nose and mouth with sev- eral thicknesseS of cheesecloth--- mask fashion--while she's baking and cooking, she will do much to safeguard the health of her family.
 SteriIize Silver
 The silver and dishes used by any member of a family who has. a cold should be covered with boiling water and allowed to stand at least five minutes before wash ing with the rest of the dishes. This is particularly true of the service which comes in contact with the persons mouth.
 At all times dishes and glass; ware should be washed in sudsy water hot as the dish washer can stand, and then rinsed in scalding water. Glassware will stand very hot water if it is placed fiat in pan and hot water poured into the pan, but not on the glass until the glass is covered. A pair Of strong kitchen tongs enables one to remove the glass from tho wa ter without danger of burning tie fingers. An excellent way to wash silver is to put 1t from washing in hot suds into a colandcr placed in a large pan. Pour boiling water over silver. Lift colander from pan and polish silver with q clean towel. As soon as lifted from the water the silver will be dry, but 1t will look blurry if it isn't wiped.
 A well ventilated kitchen with a sunny exposure is essential. Dark corners and little 'jogs" are ideal dust catchers and hard to keep clean Plenty of sunlight and fresh air are as necessary in the kitchen as in any other room in the house. Food prepared in dark, dusty kitchen cannot be at it's best.
 Keep Refrigerator Clean
 The refrigerator in which food is stored must of course receive careful and frequent cleaning. Milk, cream and butter usually have a special place provided for them in modern refrigerators, but they should be kept covered in any event. Leftover foods should be cooled as rapidly as possible be- fore putting into the 1ce-Dox.
 Always wash off milk bottles be- fore putting into the refrigerator
 All fruits .Gnd vegetables that are to be served raw should be washed through many clean wa ters. The ideal way to wash leaf vegetables is under running water with the leaf held at sharp angle.
 Meat should be removed at once from the wrapping paper in which 1t is delivered and immediately placed in the box. Keep ill mind that chopped meat will not keep as long as meat in large piece. Use hamburg and other chopped meats soon after pur- chasing.
 If there is any trace of dirt on the shells of eggs, wash and dry them when purchased. Egg shells are porous and should be clean.

A NICE COOL WASHINGTON
 LADY

Writing from Washington, D. C.. in February, the lady says:
 I've taken sun baths whenever
 it was possible ever since you
 wrote about them two years
 ago. and l haven't had err
 since I began sun bathing. All
 my life I've suffered in more or
 less severity from September
 until May. I think it is re-
 markable for one who had no
 immunity to build up immunity
 on about five hours sunshine
 week.
 The hours spent in absorbing
 the ultraviolet need not be idle
 ones. I always have sewing or
 letter writing to do when I'm
 taking a sun bath. I'm taking
 one now. The temperature
 outside is 20 degrees, but out
 of the wind the sun is wonder
 fully bright and warm and as
 sit here in it, under my open
 window, I'm perspiring!
 1 wish l had known the val

 for continued "colds"-as l
 called them before I learned
 about cri-have greatly i'm
 paired my hearing ..
 There is reason to believe that influence of the ultraviolet rays of sunlight on the naked skin enables the body to store up something akin to vitamin D and perhaps vit- amin A-if these are not one and the same thin. And there is req son to believe these vitamins arc essential in the development and maintenance of normal immunity against respiratory infections.
 For years I have been teaching that the less clothing or covering anybody wears or uses at any time or in any circumstances, with due regard for personal comfort, the better for health. The old fogies in medicine, public health and sci cnce have unanimously rejected this teaching as one of my strange notions. But the growth of mud ism, or near-nudism, is evidence, think, that my notion Is not so strange or unscientific as some of my colleagues or competitors in health promotion would have the minimizing public believe.
 Note that this nice cool sensible and comparatively healthy Wash ington lady takes her sunbath in or under an open window when the temperature outdoors is 12 below freezing.
 In various institutions through out the world, notably the Roller hospital in Switzerland and the Adam Memorial hospital at Perrys- burg, N.

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM

We often find ourselves in a con tract that looks impossible to make. Tn other words, 1t looks as though we must get too many good breaks to win the hand. However. a smart player never gives up. even on this type of hand.
 l.. J. Hadded, one of the out standing players of Chicago. fig ured that, to make todays hand. he had to find the king of hearts and the king of clubs in the East. Therefore. he played the hand on this assumption and made his con tract. He was careful, however. not to take out his diamond entry before setting the clubs.
 Vests opening lead was the five of spades. East won with the queen and returned hte deuce of spades It was useless for West to lay off, even though he had no other entry. He went right up with the ace and

 Paris (UP)-Well, we're off! And whether or not we can stop these fashion horses from running away remains to be seen. So far they are off at pretty stiff trot, showing us things which makes us blush to envisage ourselves envel- oped In them.

 A boon to lovely legs, but a bomb to the bow-legged or knock-kneed maiden. The pitt full part is that if you attempt to sew up, button up or other wise close the gap in the skirt, you simply cannot walk, and, after all, one cannot go about sitting ones way from place to place. Alas, what to do? Out of the inky blackness comes little Polyanna Dilkusha (the Princess de Rohan) who brings forth her pet child which she ''borned" into the fash ion world last season, 'Lastex," which keeps your silhouette just q straight and narrow as the path that leads to Virtue, and at the same time permits you to take strides-actual strides, mind you, not just mincing steps like the heather Chinee. And you can get into garments that fit you like your skin by merely pushing in head first. They stretch beautifully to let in the shoulders and then snap into place all around the proper angles, which make the uninitiated swear that the costume must be glued to the mannequin,

Every woman who buys and handles food should realize the importance of sanitary food protec- tion and the danger of health risks through food contamination.
 She may not be able to conduct personally all the opera tions in her household before the food reaches the table, but she can insist on certain methods of doing things as a precaution against those diseases which are known to be transmitted through the careless handling of food.
 It seems to be an accepted pro- cedure these days that any person suffering from cold shall isolate himself from his fellow workers. However, In the home kitchen, little attention is paid to this measure. Of course, it's often impossible for the mother who docs her own
