Look What Kent Did

About 80 young people had a big party the other night for Con- gressman Kent Keller of Illinois, who had gotten them all jobs in Washington.
 Keller had the boys and girls rise and tell how well they were getting along-thanks to Con- grossman Keller. Then he told them about other of his constitu- ents who had good federal jobs outside Washington, naming them off and referring to their nice salaries.
 sKeep your eyes open for other jobs we can get for southern 1lli- nois." the congressman urged.
 Then he noticed Joe Tumulty, once Woodrow Wilson's secretary, seated at nearby table. He deSnanded few words from Joe.
 Joe spoke. His topic: Gratitude.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-The Princess Lu- cien Murat-who recently has be- come the Countess de Chambrun, Am bassadress at Rome from
 France, sent to Paris the other day for a new evening gowen from
 MolyneuX.
 This is in addition, of course,
 to the many lovely things she had
 n heri trousseau-green is her Ia
 vorite color. She was married in green velvet because she was wear
 ing 1t when she met the Count de Chambrun. This new gown is however, in stiff black velvet and
 made on Empress Eugene style
 Princess Countess. It has dropped
 which is especially becoming to the
 shoulders and is trimmed at the depth of the front decoiletage with
 white roses.
 Attesting the importance of velvet these days is the fact that the Countess Potocka, a "best dresser" here, has a sapphire blue velvet evening gown with blue os. trich feathers curling all around
 the skirt in little swirls and curly | cues. | Another princess, the Princess
 Aspasia of Greece (whose husband
 died from monkey bite within | less than a year after they were
 married) likes velvet too. She has very dressy ensemble of it il | black trimmed with blue fox.

spades and the queen of clubs, or East made a mistake.
 He won the heart in his own hand with the king and returned q spade to dummy's queen. East won with the ace and made the expected error by leading the ten of spades instead of the deuce.
 South won with the king and proceeded to overtake his queen of hearts in dummy, West dis carding club. South then played his good heart. on which West discorded a diamond and declarer discarded spade. Declarer now led the good diamond, on which he discarded another spade from his own hand and West was sqeezed. He had to retain the jack, of spades against dummy's eight, so he was forced to diss card another club, leaving him only two clubs.
 South then led the king of clubs out of dummy and followed with the low club. Of course, at this point declarer was up against quite a guess. West obviously held but one more club and it was very difficult to tell whether this was the queen or not.
 However, South finally decided on the correst play and went up with the ace, dropping the queen and making five no trump, which turned out to be top on the board. Copyright 1894, NEA Service, Inc.

 The girl who wants to get full value for the money she spends on beauty preparations should learn to use them correctly. Half the success of home facial de- pends on the skillful way your hands smooht out lines and wrin- kles and the manner with which you pat creams and lotions into your skin. You should remember that a skin tonic does about twice as much good if it is ice-cold when you put it on. Keep the bottle in the icebox or, if you prefer, pour a little tonic into dish and set the dish in bowl of cracked ice astringents should be kept in cold place, too.
 Read directions carefully. If there are no printed ones on the bottle or jar, ask the salesperson to explain thoroughly just how the new preparations should be used. Obviously. if a mask ought to be left on until dry, you won't get much benefit if you wash it off while it is still moist. All masks should be applied to clean skin. Remember that, too. | Don't expect a cleansing cream to nourish and soften your skin. Nearly all good cleansing creams are so light-textured that they melt a few seconds after you put them on. Their purpose is to re- movve dust and dirt.
 Use all of your preparations on your neck. It's sad indeed to see a wrinkied, crepey. throat below q youthful. well-groomed face. and there really is no excuse for it.. Make a rule to apply cream and lotions from the base of your on up to the hairline.
 NEXT: The correct way to give | yourself a home facial. ,

Local Poetess Has
 Poems Published

Miss Zbikowski who writes under the pen name of H. Pauline Zebo, has had several of her poems published in the late edition of American Lyric Poetry edited by Gerta Alison and published by the Galleon Press. She is popular member of the young Polish resi- dents of this city and is a graduate of Wilby high school and attended Boston university. She completed her study at the copley School of Arts in Boston. Two of her poems which have been published follow:
 OUTLET Sometime when oft l revel in my kingdom of reverie, l live with thee beside the sea which as a balm worldly frets
 assuageS. There, the sun throws out it's
 rays to meet me Musical swishing of waves de-
 light me Intricate sunsets bewitch me, Enchanting nights inveigle me You, my dear, envelope me Time not for realities Stark, drab. Ephemeral thoughts not last
 ing like ,colorful bubbles must
 vanish. Again sheerness, hypocrisy,
 anxiety Face to face. Lo! no escape.
 SMOKE Like cigarette smoke you are gone I have no regrets though easier written than
 spoken while smoking the weed I derived utmost pleasure Each puff enhaled as a kiss 4 a tender word a gleeful laugh Sensing the end I should have enhaled the last deeply
 but, fool, assuming had
 more coming threw
 it
 away.

 he realized that the same contract would be reached at the other tables. Consequently 1t was iIn- portant for him to make as many overtricks as possible. He also realized that the nine of hearts was the most unfavorable lead possible, as it did not help him in the slightest.
 He won the first trick with the ten of hearts in dummy.
 Then he led diamond and won East's jack with his queen. The ace of diamonds then dropped the king and the third round of that suit was won with Vests ten.
