PARIS STYLES By MARY FENTREsS

 Paris (UP)-Styles may come and go, but tailored suits go on forever. And if you are quite an observant person, you will notice that the tailored idea has been slowly, but surely, creeping into practically all realms of dress.
 Take Creed, for instance, his tailored evening crowns are the delight of the most feminine heart. These man-tailored creations are not masculine, even though they are modelled on gentlemanly lines.
 Creed skirts are 30 centimeters from the ground, straight and slit at the sides. The waistline is slightly raised, and accompanying Jackets contrast both in color and material. Blouses are in fine wool- ems or in pique with collars that fasten or tie into scarfs, with double rising point on the neck.
 Cocktail dresses from Creed are nearly ankle length, slit at the back and often trimmed with jabot. Details here feature broad leather belts, some with small min- lures under mica; buttons of straw. corw and rings of metals, leather and horn.

The Bidding

The Bidding
 In today's hand Malowan sat in the East. Just a word about the bidding. Some players might elect to bid club third hand, but the diamond call makes a better de- fensive bid.
 North's bid of two hearts might be subject to some criticism, as 1t Is supporting a passing partner with three trump, but North has to make some mildly constructive bid with his holding, to give part ned a little clearer picture of his hand.
 Of course, as soon as South goes to two no trump, North is correct in going to three.
 The Play.
 West realized that North's bid of a diamond might not be based on a biamond holding at all and, as long as he had the ace of clubs for a quick entry card, he decid- ed to open the ten of diamonds. hoping to find his partner with an honor, to establish the suit.
 The declarer wisely played the ace on the first trick, Now, if Malowan carelessly played his jack South would make four no trump. But, after careful consideration Malowan unblocked with his king and the contract was defeated three tricks.

There is approximately table, spoonful of salt (sodium chloride) excreted from the body daily. The average man ingests that much salt daily, although from one-half to one teaspoonful of salt is enough for good functional health; at least individuals have remained in good condition when the salt intake was reduced to half a teaspoonful a day.
 Steel furnace workers, stokers and others who are subject to ex- treme heat with great eXertion or to extreme heat alone, are likely to suffer from what is variously called Water poisoning, "heat cramps" or "stoker's colic." This is Q con- dition of violent muscular cramps occurring when through excessive sweating the store of salt in the blood and tissues have been de- pleted, for salt is the important substance in the water excrcted in sweat. The condition is prevented by the practice of taking some salt along with each drink of water, either dissolved in the drinking water, or swallowed in the form of a tablet, or with some highly salted morsel of food. Persons who suffer oppression from extremely hot weather should remember that plenty of salt as well as plenty of water is morre refreshing than water or any beverage without the salt.
 Many gourmands acquire the ha- bit of seasoning everything excess sively with salt, although Nthe salt naturally present in such foods as milk, meat, eggs, fish, cheese, but ter is sufficient for all needs of the body if the diet Is not restricted. One who is following diet largely vegetarian gets less salt and may advantageously use more salt as condiment.
 The practice of salting butter and cheese in the making is much overdone, whether from perverted taste Or from a desire to sell salt at butter or cheese price. People who never eat "sweet". (unsaIted) butter will be pleased with this natural food if they will use 1t in place of the salted kind for a few days.
 Too much salt in or on food masks the real flavor of the food, though the proper use of salt brings out the zest of some foods which lack it. The habit of add ing salt to everything blunts the

finer taste sense and robs the gourmand of much of the pleasure of eating. Some people smother food with salt, pepper, mustard, and other condiments in a vain en- deavor to cover heinous cooking.
 The use of considerable salt is necessary in the curing and pre- serving of meats and fish, but by soaking such food in water for hours and then par-boiling and throwing away the salt water much of the salt may be removed and the flavor of the food greatly improved.
 More salt means more water re- tained in the body cells and tissues. That means overweight, or fabby water-logged state of the body, whether there is actual dropsy or not. This begging down from too much salt is q common explanation of flabbiness and weakness. No one should even attempt to subsist on a "salt-free" diet unless under super vision of his physician, but any one whose health and vigor are not up to par may well give some thought to correcting the error of consum- ing too much salt.

1.--In his fascinating hook, "What Makes Us So Queer?" pr David seabury, consulting psych- ologist, says, one of the queerest things about most of us is we do not want to know ourselves.

There are a lot of things about myself that half way suspect but do not care to have some psychologist exploring my mind too closely for fear ] might find they were the truth. we do not wish our egos punctured and this is the chief thing that keeps us from trying honestly to know ourselves.

| Here to hand is a new book. l think it's swell-flrst of all because tho author, Katharine Seabury. calls herself "just a mother" and her volume, 'sThe Fun of Having Children" Second, I clap mental hands over her debunking of ex- treme schools of psychology.
 There was, for instance, the pros pective mother who consulted a psychiatrist of note for the pur- pose of creating a brilliant mind in the child to be.
 "whereas," says the author. "the truth is that the child is but the composite Of characteristics of hundreds of ancestors and the mothers efforts could have litle, if any, effect on the child before birth" (This does not mean that the influence after birth is neg ligible.)
 It takes mothers to refute the theories of some die-hard psycholo- gists who still stand adamant in disciaiming heredity. Less than a year ago met one who most rude ly snorted when mentioned It.. "Heredity is not in my vocabulary, he announced.
 Tooth, Not Mind Then there was the mother of sick and nervous child accord ing to Mrs Seabury, who consulted one of the elect. He put the baby on most heroic cure of solitude sans toys, sans people, sans every thing. In few days the tooth came through and the fever and, nervops- ness left instanter. It seems that teeth, not mind, had caused the upset.
 Now let me hurry to add a thought or two. That 1t is all very we'll to have our pokes about psy- chiatrists and psychoanalysis. but I see danger here, too. As a matter of fact, we Americans have q habit of hugging fads and policies to our hearts and then dumping them overheard when new hobby comes long-and tliumbing our noses at that which was so sacred only Q few months before. I sec the danger of losing faith in certain psychological truths, both mental and emotional, and the scientists who propound them, which were and still are bulwarks in the study of human nature child nature particularly.
 Should Collaboratc What I recommend is that all schols of psychology get together and adopt q standard. It would pre- vent extremism, faddism, ridiculous practice and quackery. Each should concede pjoints to rivals and adopt a sensible attitude about heredity, environment and behaviorism. They should not encroach on the prov ince of physical correction and treatment except where 'pscho- theraopy' is indicated, and should also cooperate more readily with medicine and the research labora- tory. In other words psychology" has to come to earth where 1t be- longs or 1t faces itso wn defeat.
 That would be very sad. The mother who even says her child is "sensitice' may be laughed at some day for daring to use psy- chological term-for that is what it is. What state of affairs that would be.

EVEN OILY SKINS REQUIRE
 AN ANTI-WRINKLE ROUTINE

"Oily skins wrinkle .too," says a famous cosmetician who specializ- es in all types of beauty treat ments. Dry complexions seems to receive the bulk of anti-wrinkling coddling, but the girl with an oily should remember that un- less she takes steps to eliminate 1t, she'll have trouble later on."
 Without doubt, soap and water are the best and certainly the cheapc-t beauty treatments for one who has excessive oil. A com plexion brush, or a Pought wash cloth, and lavish supply of thick suds made from a bland soap should be used night and morning and, if possible, in the middle ot the day, too. Rinse carefully after ward and pat on a mild astringent before applying makeup or night cream.
 New Pine Cream.
 Incidentally, there's a new night cream for oily skins on the market right now. Composed of ingredients that tend to check the flow of oil and shrink the pores, 1t is scented with oil of pine that smells for al the world like a fir forest after a warm summer rain.
 With firm upward and outward strokes, the new cream should be smoothed on at night after your face has been washed and rinsed Allow little of the excess to stay on while you sleep.
 If the muscles under your chin and across your cheeks seem to be getting fiabby (this often hap pens when a skin is oily), better buy a chin strap and wear 1t at night. If you\ get rubber one, cover your skin with a clean cloth that has been soaked in skin tonic before you adjust the strap.

 "A woman!" Millicent ex- claimed.

 suppose you have heard Q great deal about these club and diamond bids that tournament players are using nowadays. When they first started, players would open a club or diamond, third or fourth position on practically nothing. Now the better player has abolished these weak tactics.
 A club or diamond may be bid on three-card suit, but it should have compensating strength. The reason for opening with club or diamond is to keep the bidding at a low level. It gives your partner a chance to respond with major suit.

It's true as true that good-na- tured people are nearly always imposed on. And certain amiable foods get the same treatment.
 Lamb chops and sausage, for although when they are handled thoughfully, they certainly arc better than when they are treat ed with lick and promise. The other night had a broiled platter dinner and concentrated on these two meats. And instead of boiling them at an intense heat which might burn them on a seconds notice, I cooked them at a moderate temperature and they emerged plump and lusciously Drowned instead of shriveled and charred.
 It was such as easy dinner! Everything went straight from the oven to the table and there were few dishes to wash after wards.
 I'm strong for jelliel salad be- cause I can make them at odd minutes in the kitchen, pop them in the ice box and there they arc ready ot cress up with my favorite cress and serve.
