Vienna, Austria.

nURING a visit to Vienna, an
American tourist took a ride in q
taxicab While in the cab he ate an
apple and then tried to figure out
what to do with the core. He decided
TO put 1t In a paper bag and toss II
out the window.
When the cab reached the next cor
ner, it was halted by policeman. He
came to the tourist and told him
politely but firmly that he must pay
q fine. The fine amounted to only
about IS cents, but it served as les
son. Vienna was taking pains to keep
its streets clean.
The population of Vienna is not far
below 100000. and includes more
than one-fourth of the people in
Austria.
Before the World War, Austria
Hungary was larger than France; and
Vienna was the center of power, even
though Budapest had the name of be-
ing the joint capital. After the en-
pire was split up, Austria was left
with so little land as to make it small
er than Portugal.
At the close of the war, Vienna was
left poor and unhappy. Thousands of
citizens had died on the battlefield
and other thousands had been Grip
pied for life There was so little food
that some of the people starved to
death.
A man who was in Vienna at that
time told me Of an incident which
shows how serious the food shortage
was. In street fight, he said, a
horse was shot down. People who were
near the spot forgot about the bullets
and rushed to carve up the horse for
meat.
In later years, Vienna took steps to
rise from its misery. Food was OBJ
tained and plans were made for new
and better city. Old buildings were

shirtwaist frock in this popular silk.
The smartest models are in navy
and devoid of furbelows but for brief
touches Of dainty lingerie Upstand-

and slim, straight skirts are serious
details, not to be missed in the design
you select for this little filler-in.
Our pattern for this model is an
answer to every beginners plea for
maximum chic with minimum effort.
The sleeve and yoke, cut in one, are
worth considering, when you are look

feature eliminates the fitting of a
regulation sleeve into an armhole.
The skirt of this frock is character

and at the sides there are fiat pleats,
to provide reserve fullness without TAX

Never had there been a singer in her

So the singing Mouse soon found
that he was considered queer by all
the Mice Of the neighborhood, and
was looked on with suspicion. Just
what he was suspected Of he never
did find out. He was suspected on

do something none of the other Mice

was Just an everyday ordinary Mouse

Cue Bid.

Cue Bid.
SIX the next bridge player you
n meet what a cue bid means.
IA Assuming that he doesn't gaze
at you witheringly for asking
such simple question. he
may either reply simultaneously.
SLAM try" or, more seriously, explain
that his conception Of cue bid Is a
bid Of the opponents suit to show no
losing tricks in that suit. Celebrating
further, he may go on to say that a
cue bid may simply show f1rst-round
control of the opponents suit. and
still be known by that designation.
When the bidding has gone: One
heart, three hearts, there may be
some argument as to the correct
terminology for your four-diamond
bid on the ace, king blank. Is it
cue bid or q constructive bid? Who
cares?
All this Is a preamble to the fact
that most bridge players associate
"cue bid" only with opponents suit"
The fact that you can cue bid your
partners,s suit is a new idea. True,
the opportunity does not arise often,
but should it come up, you, presume,
are ready to take advantage Of It.
