Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

Please do not ask Jane Jordan to
answer your letter in this column with
out publishing the problem. 1t makes
the answer meaningless to other readers.
1t is better to conceal your identity by
changing ages. dates or places. II you
live in Indiana polls, you could give a
small town address.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am "a
years old, married and have two
children. About four months ago,
my husband left me for another
woman. 1 had the pair arrested,
and then my husband decided he
loved me better than her, but he
won't ask my forgiveness. He
says he is not sorry for what he
has done, but proud of it, 1 al
ways have been a good, true wife.
He tells me the other woman
wants no one but him. I have
gone to her once. She has chill
dren Of her own, but no man.
Would you go to her again?
A LONELY MOTHER.
Answer-The best thing you can
do is to see the picture, "What
Every Woman Knows" which is in
town this week. You will learn far
more from it than I can tell you.

and, without sufficient entries, a
losing club.
Declarer's first play is to lead the
queen of spades. If East takes this
trick, of course the play of the hand
is simple. But East's best defense is
to play low. Would you play low
from dummy? If so, you would not
make your contract.
The queen must be overtaken by
dummy'S king, then club lead and
the nine spot f1nessed. The ten of
spades is returned, which East wins
with the ace.
East now, of course, can not re-
turn diamond, so he leads a small
heart. The jack is played from
dummy, West plays the queen and
declarer goes in with the ace. A
small heart is returned and West
wins the trick with the ten of hearts.
He plays a small diamond. North
wins this trick with the king and
now leads heart, ruffng in the
dummy with low club.
The losing five of diamonds is dis
carded on dummy's good jack of
spades. The eight of clubs now is
played, the f1nesse taken and the
rest of the tricks are the declarer's S.

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. F.. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
T HAVE often been asked, is the
l. element of luck entirely elm
mated from duplicate play? No, it
is not.
I believe, to eliminate a little
luck from any game would spoil it.
Would you like to see the bad hops,
or lucky home runs eliminated from
baseball, or the tumble in football
followed by that spectacular dash
down the field for touchdown?
Certainly not. They are all part of
the game.
But I do hope that the next code
of rules on bridge will give us a
count at no trump that we all will
understand without having to pur-
chase somebody's copyrighted score
pad or trick machine to figure out
the score for us.
And, among other things, I do
hope the premium for honorS is
dropped, as I do not believe it be-
longs in modern contract.
In today's hand, we find a player
boldly bidding his honors. But, by
watching his entries, he is success
full in making his contract, receiv-
ing top over those who play the
hand at four spades, which is not a
difficult contract to make.
7 AST'S opening lead is the four
T. of diamonds. West plays the
Jack and declarer wins the trick
with the ace.
1t looks as if the declarer has a
losing spade. heart and diamond

shrewd to stimulate the affair by
the flip of connubial opposition.
Maggie'S power with her husband
lay in the fact that she continually
raised his ego. At no point did she
humiliate him or permit him to be
Inundated by her angry father and
brothers. Although she took an
active part in his career, she was
smart enough to let him believe ne
did it all himself. This need Of
the male to honor his own ego and
to acknowledge no helping hand is
what every woman knows" and as
Maggie quantity remarks, 1T is our
only joke"
1t is a joke, however. which many
modern women have lost their abil-
ity to enjoy. They are too busy por-
tecting their own prestige to be
concerned with bolstering up
mans.
When your husband strayed, you
assumed a punitive role. Instead Of
using your wits as a woman, you
tried the masculine method of swift
and sure justice. At that moment
you were defeated as a woman. OF
course, he will not love a woman
who steps outside her sex to pose as
a harsh parent dealing out justice TO
an erring son. You've humbled
him, but the other woman makes
him proud.
I am willing to wager that the
rival who lured him away is an ex-
ceSsively feminine ceature who
works overtime in admiring him.
She stresses her helpless femininity
and need Of protection. She makes
him feel strong in contrast. where
as you make him feel weak and

A Woman S
Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TN my opinion it's childish to rail
4 at the radio, which is I'M
doubtedly the wonder Of the
twentieth century. Even if it never
improves as a medium for enter
tainment and education from
what it is today, the pleasure it
brings to those who are lonely,
isolated, sick and blind is enough
to make us all thankful to have
lived in an age which produced it.
The radio is the most intimate
of modern inventions, bringing its
programs right into your home.
You should therefore consider it
your duty to follow and, if you
wish, censor them.
But, human nature being what
it is, we always criticiSe those
things we dislike and seldom
praise those we do. So the main
need of air entertainment nova
days is to have more compliments
for it's good programs-and they
are many.
Here then, goes my bit. I con-
slider it step forward when An
American Fireside" went on the
air Oct. IA. It's sponsors give it
sufficient recommendation to be-
gin with, for they are the pub
fishers of the Jacket Library
The National Home Library
Foundation. Their advisory board
list reads like a literary who's
Who" Editors, columnists, novel
lists, philosophers and poets
they're all there.
When such men and women
sponsor and plan program then
you know it just has to be good.
Each Sunday evening some person
prominent in the world of books
will be at your elbow to discuss for
you the ideas found in that world.
Great writer's and thinkers of past
and present may thus be fireside
companions for an hour. Fancy
having DR.. Johnson or John Keats
or Ralph Waldo Emerson in for
tea! Our grandparents would
have been thrilled to their toes at
the opportunity-indeed good
many Of the advantages we take
for granted, would have been mir
acles for them.
After the crooners and the
clowns have finished, it will be a
treat to listen while the wise
speak. The radio is facing crisis,
too. At the moment it's a conflict
of inanity versus intelligence. And
intelligence needs some rooters.
