Manners
BY MYRTLE MYER ELDRED.

BY MYRTLE MYER ELDRED.
THE very backbone Of any kind OF
training should be an illustration
by the parents Of how adults act.
Training means to direct the child
toward more grown-up kind of con-
duct, which he is encouraged to want
to initiate.
1t has always seemed ludicrous for
an angry mother, herself a perfect ex-
emple of lack OF emotional control, -
to yell at a child to be good, or quiet,
or we'll behaved. One can't very well
beat good conduct into a child, or
yell it into him. One must, Of
necessity, first know what good con-
duct Is, and then show 1t to the child
by example. Then one may hope that.
as he grows, he will come closer and
closer TO ones idea Of 1t. Mrs. NJ. B.
is deploring her inability to frighten
the child into better behavior She
writes:
Il have need Of help and informa- =
ton. My little girl will be years old
in March. She Is very nervous and
high strung. l tell her not to do
things and she stamps her feet and
will not mind and acts naughty. She
does quite embarrassing things when
I take her out in company.
my husband and l both holler at
her and threaten to spank her, but
it does no good. What shall do? In
regard to her diet, she will not eat
anything but milk and spaghetti"
The leaflets Wise Management Of
the Child" How to Meet the Child's
Opposition" and Dealing With the
Child's Curiosity" cover the period
when the child is learning how to live
in the adult world comfortably. These
may be had for a Self-addreSsed. s.

Dealing With Convex Profile
BY LOIS LEEDS.

~ ERFECT or near-perfect faces
are rare. Most Of us have what
may be classified as passable
i features. A few have notice.
ably distorted facial contours.
The commonest of these undesirable
facial variations is the convex pro-
file, with prominent nose oyershadow-
ing short chin.
1t was surely not a member of our
sex who wrote the lines. MY face, I
don't mind 1t because I'm behind it.
'Tis the people in front I annoy"-or
words to that effect. Girls and women
do mind having unattractive faces,
and they are willing to do almost any
thing to keep from annoying" others
with their facial defects.
The beauty-Seeker whose nose Is
too large for her own peace of mind
turns desperately toward q surgical
operation for solution of her trouble.
In many cases, however, she finds the
cost prohibitive, involving, perhaps,
trip to the nearest large city. Then,
too, there is the important problem Of
finding the right surgeon to do the
work. AS a result, by far the majority
Of girls and women who are dissatis-
fed with their noses have to find other
means Of minimimizing their defect.
1t is here that the beauty specialist can
do a real service.
There are many ways Of making q
large nose less prominent while bring
ing out q receding chin. Here are some
pointers on how to accomplish this
feat without resort to a surgeon:
First. Use two shades of face pow
der-the darker one to tone down
your nose, the lighter one to empha-
size your chin.
Second. Do not color lips vividly,
but keep them relatively inconspicuous
with lght-colored lipstitk, or none
at all.

was worried and so soon left him, but
stopped at q distance to watch him
get down, and chuckled as he saw him
come down backward, clinging tightly
to the tree all the way.
Once on the ground, Johnny emitted
q little sigh Of relief. Here he was at

He picked out a place and started
to work. Johnny is good digger.
There are few better. For a few
minutes he made the earth fly. Then
he stopped. He had to. You see, the
frost was not yet wholly out of the
ground, and Johnny had dug down to
where the earth was still frozen. He
gave up in disgust. No use to wear
his nails out trying to dig through
that. Twice more he started holes,

Fourth. Wear your hair long enough
to arrange in good-sized coil or

your chin. Avoid a center part and
coiffures combed straight back from
the brow. Instead, use a side part

Eighth. Be very careful to keep
the skin on the nose free from oili-
ness, enlarged pores, blackheads and
those tiny broken capillaries that
sometimes make a red network on
the nostrils. In order to keep the
skin unblemished and fine in tex
ture, or to restore 1t to such condi-
tion. it is essential to cleanse 1t thor
oughly twice a day with soap and
water. Just as important is avoidance
of the common habit Of powdering the
nose at frequent intervals during the
day. The skin must be well cleansed
before new powder base and powder
are applied.

Johnny wasn't mistaken. Reddy
did get rid OF Bowser, although he
had to run farther than he wanted
to before he succeeded. Then he re-
turned straight to that tree in which
he had left Johnny. OF course,
Johnny wasn't there. He hadn't ex-
pected he would be. He began TO
use his nose and he picked up John
ny's trail here and there. He found
the first Of the holes Johnny had
started and grinned, for he guessed
just why Johnny had given up. Then
he found the other holes and. finally,
the one which Johnny had completed.
He didn't undertake to dig Johnny
out then. He was too tired from his
long run to do any digging then. He
knew he would have to be fresh and
feeling at his best If he would have
any chance at all to dig Johnny out.
So he took care not to disturb Johnny
and trotted home TO the Old Pasture
to rest and plan how to catch Johnny

"Ha! Hal" Barbara laughed In re-

The next eevning Barbara stole sly
ly into Herman Highlands apartment.
Herman was dressed in a tuxedo, and
there was champagne. Barbara felt
confident. Herman Highland was the

But hardly had Barbara sat down
when the door banged open. And

frightened, stood Conrad

as he rose from the table, his face, as
well as his nose, red. Conrad could
think of no answer at the moment,
and so to settle things he swung his
fist hard to Herman'S jaw Leaving
Herman sprawled on the floor, he
caught Barbara up in his arms and
carried her all the way down to his
roadster.
1T was nothing, really it was moth
ing" Barbara sobbed excitedly.
Come to the mayor with me and I'll
prove it."
Its nothing-finding you in q room
with another mani" Conrad snapped.
and increased the pressure on the ac-
celerator till the roadster seemed to
be flying "And after I, my heart
broken. have been looking for you
from the moment you left"
But let me explain" Barbara
begged. And she did explain it all to
Kim, finishing with: And when you
broke in the way you did, you spoiled
everything"
Conrad laughed, but hardly had he
done so when a look of determination
came to his face-a look Of determi-
nation in spite of the little smile that
insisted upon playing at the corner
of his lips
"All right, honeyi You want me TO
stop being a wastrel and to get my
self job? I will! And my first job
will be campaign manager for Silas
Harperl" And Conrad swung the car
around and drove back toward River
dale.
Obi" exclaimed Barbara as she
squeezed Conrad'S hand.

Contract
BY p, VAL SIMS.

Mr.. Sims IS hntDeTSdIIy acclaimed me
greatest living contract and auction
player. He Was captain OF the renowned
-Four Horsemen" team, noD disbdnded,
and has non 20 national champion
ships since 1924. These articles are
based on the Sims system, iUhich
! includes the one-oper-one principle,
lDhich the Sims group of players iUds
the first to employ and deUelOp.
The 0ne-0ver-0ne.
IN LINE with the five to five and
half primary trick game prob
ability theory a system of re-
4 sponseS was devised. If your part
ner opened the bidding, showing
two and a half primary tricks, and
you held two and half to three and a
half, you should force him by q
Jump response. Fit, or lack of Mt,
didn't enter into the matter at all.
Nor did the possibility of saving a
round of bidding, or catching the
opponents in weak moment. II you
held a good hand, you had to declare
1t Immediately. One heart two
spades. Is there any chance Of get
ting a three diamond overcall after
such bidding?
When your partner has opened the
bidding, he has indicated a certain
amount of strength and, inferentially,
the ability to handle obstreperous op-
ponents. Your only problem Is to get
to the right declaration.
With a hand that seemed to prom
Use a certain slam in view of your
partners opening bid, a two-over-one
would be all right: but the bid was
so horribly misuSed that I grew to
prefer a one-over-one under all cir
cumstances. The opponents never
know what type of hand you hold.
They're afraid to bid: they're afraid
not to bid. On the other hand, your
partner sweeps along serenely. He
has promised a rebid by his opening.
He makes that rebid, and you either
force, construct or pass.
At the other end OF the scale was
the pitiful holding. such as,

Not even a trick and half in the
entire mess!
At first the early geniuses suggested
passing this hand completely, unless
partner opened with one spade. AS
the requirements for forcing two bids
were raised, the requirements for a re-
sponse over an opening one bid were
lowered, and 1t was conceded that
partner should bid something on the
above hand. The mechanical details
were there. Without a trick and a
half, the responder must bid one no
trump. Whether the spade suit ever
was shown depended on the openers
rebid.
l argued that bidding one no trump
on a hand such as the above was
simply waste. Is your partner mo-
ronic? Can't he be trusted to give
you a little leeway, even II you do
show him suit? Spades is the safety
of the hand, so far as you are con-
cerned Bid them Immediately. and
