White Sno1gS Under. RiUaI Color,s
AND HERE ARE SOME SUNINfFRY DRESSES FOR I'M -BETWEE

FASHION may be fckle in I all other respects, but white remains her favorite color for summer. Nothing can quite take the place of it's snowy coolness on a scorching day. As usual it will run the gamut from sportswear to evening things, from hats to shoes.
 The sketch shows three white frocks of that indis- pensable type Ssaally so hard to find in the summer season. The in-between dress that fits into the spot where a tennis frock is too informal and a dinner dress too elaborate.
 At the left, a two-piece job has a wide stitched collar and sporty patch pockets. The sleeves are wide for coolness and the red dotted Ascot belt add color. Four large red buttons decorate the bodice in double-breasted effect.
 A charming flower-trim- med dress shown in the cen- ter has a full shirred shoulder and kimono sleeves. The skirt shows the new wider line and the sash is of violet taffeta.
 The more tailored dress at the right is another two-picee affair with wide sleeves bor- dered in stitching to match the collar. The bodice fastens down the front with navy buttons and has four patch pockets. The belt is of navy leather.

The Play

!. lnc 1ldy
 Against a six no trump contract, West opened the only unbid suit, playing the nine of clubs. The declarer won the trick with the king and immediately played the ten of spades, taking the double finesse.
 Now it m that the natural thing for East to do is to win this trick with the jack. However, East, knowing that his queen of hearts was practically worthless, due to South's heart bid, elected to try to outfox the declarer and played the king of spades.
 He then returned the queen Of clubs. The declarer won the trick in dummy with the ace, led small diamond, and won in his own hand with the jack.
 Now the wise declarer would run his diamonds, but this fellow felt there was nothing to the hand. Certainly East could not hold the jack of spades, or why would he win the first trick with the king ? That meant that West must have the jack.
 So the declarer played the six of spades and finessed dummy's eight spot, and when East won the trick with the jack and laid down three good club tricks. defeating the contract four tricks, the only excuse South had to offer was that somebody must have rocked tho boat.

 Mrs. Parker burst into wild weeping. Already they were talk ing as if Zoe were dead, thought Katharine, fear clutching at her heart. @
 The night wore through. There was blaze of light over the water. Light poured into the sickroom, where a small figure lay stretched on carved and gilded bed. The nurse extinguished the bulb that dangled, hospital-wise, in twist of white paper. The room was very still.
 Dr. Kaye went to the door. He still wore his black broadcloth but he had long since discarded the coat with the satin lapels. In his shirtsleeves and braces he looked oddly grim.
 Katharine was fin the hall, curled her hand across her eyes as the doctor appeared.

veil that fits the back of yoru head like a urban and does not cover up your forehead or hang down over your face, coiffure with in- terest at the front ought to be good. Perhaps bangs are the an- swer. Try ringlet ones first, par ticularly if you are short. If these won't do, experiment with loosely waved bangs or straight ones, worn slightly fluffy. The rest of your hair can be waved softly backward to end in loose curls across your neck, Perhaps a curl or two in front of each ear will be fetching.
 When Bangs Are Passe
 If you have elected a f1lmy veil with ornage blossom wreath or Victorian coronet of seed pearls, worn tiara fashion across the front of your head, the back of your head is the place on which to put curls, swirls and the like. Don't have bangs-at least not across the front-and see that the coiffure, after wave set lotion has been brushed out, has a swept

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary Of the American Bridge League
Loses Slam By Ruse- Clever Defense Play Makes De clarer Place Missing Cards In Wrong Hand,
 And He Goes Down Four.

I firmly believe that the popu- larity of bridge still is increasing. It is surprising to note the import ant part that bridgep lays in the life of the American public.
 I was recently invited by Ma tional Tours to go on one of it's cruises. One of the first htings of interest that caught my eye on the daily program was the fact that a bridge lecture and bridge party was provided for the passengers daily.
 William Jones, our cruise direc- tor, informed me that the staff of entertainers always includes two bridge instructors who daily lec- ture and supervise bridge. also learned that, when instructions first started, nine out of every ten tables would be playing auction bridge, but today there is hardly one game of auction to ten for contract.
 However, new or old rules, the opportunity to make unusual plays will always exist.
 Today's hand struck me as the most interesting one that came up on the entire cruise. Looking at all the cards, we can see that the only trick the declarer has to lose is the king of spades. However, I actually saw defense that held this h a n to two no trump. In other words, it was defeated four tricks.

 MY DEAR MISS VAIL: \ am q young man twenty-tsgO yeaEg of age. am very much in love with 3 girl five years older. She loves me also. Do you think she fs too old for me? I'll look for your ana swer in the Democrat. @Anxi0us."
 My dear AnNous: As I have said on other occasions, age is not so much a matter of years, as ex- perience. This young lady of twenty-seven, may be very youth full in her nature, and unsophisti- cated in her experiences of life. Therefore, it is for you to judge best, whether or not you and she share the same outlook on life: enjoy the same pastimes, and in this way, neither of you will make an issue of the difference in ages. However, the average woman is sensitive about being older than her husband, and if you and she are very deeply in love, and you are careful never to refer to this point, you have more than the average chance of being ideally happy in marriage. The older girl, usually, has deeper sense of re- sponsiiblity and appreciation.
 In letter received from Miss Agnes M. of Brooklyn, N. T., I am taken to task for my article of May 17th, wherein I spoke of the self-imposed loneliness of some young people, of my &C., quaintance: loneliness caused by their intellectual aloofness. Miss M. writes: This does not seem logical, as youth of to-day, does not put much value on intellect or learning; their only concern is of the times" My dear Miss Ag- nes M.: It is evident that you do not come in contact with the real ly young people of to-day; the fact is, that there never has been a time in all history when so high an education was acquired, not so deep a regard was placed on learn ing by the average young man or girl, as to-day. Colleges and uni- versailles are pouring forth gradu- ates by the thousands, annually. The only pity is that economic con- ditions are such that these brilliant young people are being disiliu- stoned, waiting for an opportunity to reap the reward of their studies and expenditures. fear you are confused with the youth of eight or ten years ago; that hectic period known as the age of Flaming Youth.

CAN'T A FELLOW SAY
 ANYTHING?

Recently this query appeared in this column:
 Mother lives in upper fiat, and when people in lower flat turn on the gas the fumes make her i'll and affect her head"
 Also this one:
 we live on first floor of eight family house. Our bedroom is di- rectly above the gas meters. Nearly every month I have to notify the gas company there is a leakage of gas. They usually repair the leak. but in a few days it leaks again and we get the odor of gas."
 Answering these queries I sug- gested that the landlord should be asked to install proper fiue con- meeting gas stove with chimney. If it is a kitchen range or open gas plate, a suitable hood and perhaps an exhaust fan vent would abate the nuisance and protect the com fort and health of all concerned. The leakage of gas from or about the gas meters is a constant men, ace to any one living over or near the meters. To remedy that nui- sance suggested moving out of the apartment.
 Among the letters these items brought were four from public service company. They all sought to learn where the correspondents lived, and tall expressed the desire to correct the trouble, and all were in cordial spirit, as though-well, as though corporations really desire to serve the public welfare.
 But, dear me, by the time the items appeared in print and the re- sulting inquiries reached me, I had lost all recollection of the original letters.
 Another item in this column re- gently implied, nay, I said that Dr. Noah Webster who made the dic- tionary was "an old fossil" and I threw in for good measure the ele- vating remark that the men who make the Webster dictionary now are "old geezers" too and that they probably had ''poor bringing up.""

HSH YOUR CHILDREN
g. Oa;ve Roberts Bsrtoa .
3Mas e ME1 sEaHseLM

More and more we are learning to live by proxy, that is to say, we depend on books and plays and lectures to amuse us. T h e trend is to enjoy life by hearing what other people have done, and by thrilling to other peoples ex- periences.
 A dream world at best and a world of escapes.
 All this sounds pedantic and stiff, but it is the truth. I think 1t wise to face it because of the children.
 Through the winter they were shut in and h a d to depend on vicarious adventure in books and movie houses, to feel they were living deeply.
 Can Contact Nature Now Now it is spring, with all sum- mer ahead and they have an op- portunity to live life at first hand. Naturally, they will go in for picking wild flowers if they live near enough to the country-and for outdoor games no matter where they live. Later there will be picnics and swimming and hikes.
 Even that isn't enough. A child can do all these things and enjoy them in spontaneous sort of way but still feel he is missing some thing romantic.
 Our children are too artificial minded to begin with. They could not live today without being SO. They are conditioned to think there is a better world off some where that they could not think of touching. The great truth is that they are part of the world; that their bit is as important as P ter Pans or Huckleberry Finn's, or Shirley Temples or
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-01

1t is, the subtle emotion which grips us, as we meet the unex- pected, fingers long in our mem- ory, and creates the desire to re- turn again and again, to try and recapture the thrill of that first encounter. Most thrilling of all, is the unexpected meeting with an interesting personality.
 What do we mean by personal ity? Not appearance, not intel of your nature plus your intelli- gence, creating that intangible, magnetic element, which reflects through your appearance, your general department, but mostly, in your speech. Do you realize that the moment you speak, you are
 catalogued? Your background,
 your breeding and education, and
 even your intimate nature, is re- vealed, not so much by what you say, as by the tonal qualities of your voice, and your choice of lan- guage. Your speaking voice is the echo of your nature. How very important it is, then to be watch full of your mode of speech. Charm of personality is essential to the success of a girl, not only in the business world, but coming in con- tact with young people, it is im- portant to be liked. Even the
 plainest looking girl, radiates

 Living examples of this are seen and heard on the screens every
 day. These screen, stars, in addi- ton to being beautiful of face and
 form, charm us by the modula-
 tion of their voices, the nicely spoken and carefully selected
 choice of English. Let us emu-

Jackie Cooper's, never occurs to them.
 There is way to make almost any child feel the grip and im- portance of his own life and the actual romance of his surround ings if we but take the time.
 Birds, Bees and Plants
 I speak of the romance of knowing what things are that one touches every day. The tree Tn the yard, the two down the street, or the ones in the park. The flowers, their habits of growing, and certainly their names. Birds? Birds alone are enough to occupy a summer. Creeks? They all be- gin and end somewhere. Ponds, fish, clouds, sunsetsi There are so many things to which child's interest may be directed. Even a city street is an open book.
 Once a child does see his little world with intelligent eyes it be- comes more real. He stops ac- cepting =, and just looking at things on top. When he sees the why" of the most ordinary things he ceases being an auto maton moving without satisfac- tion or thrill.
 Sometimes I feel that the first book robbed mankind of some thing. Let us not innoculate the children too much with this ''sec- ond-hand" virus. Let them learn to look at pictures never painted, to read in books never written - their own surroundings.

Next to actual makeup, which ought to be applied subtly and with an eye toward enhancing her natural color in a not-too-athletic way, the brides coiffure is the inn portant item as ar eas beauty is concerned. As matter of fact, on her wedding day, her hairdress may be considered even more im- portant than cosmetics. If it isn't exactly right, a good deal of the glamor of her veil is lost. If it is. the veil-and the gown-are in- finitely more picturesque.
 If you plan to trip down flow er-trimmed aisle to the altar this June; better put yourself in the hands of an expert hairdresser as long as possible before the cere- mony. In this way you'll get re- conditioning treatments to make your shining tresses more shiny, and the operator will learn what can, or cannot, be done in the way of 8 coiffure to flatter you. By the time he has given you two or three waves, he'll have a pretty definite idea of your type and what ar- arrangements make you feel at ease withy ourself.
 The day before your wedding after the attendants have re- hearsed while you've looked on go to your hairdresser, taking your veil with you. Get the incest scalp treatment and shampoo he has to offer and then settle back to let him "do" a coiffure that will be perfect with the veil. He'll have good ideas, of course, but you ought to keep a few rules in mind, just in case he decides that you should look different, instead of beautiful. This is one time when you want to look pretty and heart breakingly alluring rather than smart and exotic.
