fore opening the bid with this type of hand, you must say to yourself,
 If 1 bid one diamond and my partner bids two clubs. my hand IS not strong enough to bid two spades, because when l bid two spades l tell my partner that l have strong hand and he can safely go to three diamonds, or 1T he has spade support he can go to three spades.
 "But if bid diamond and my partner bids two clubs, l can safely sign the hand off by bidding two diamonds. However, if bid a dia- mond and my partner bids heart. I can bid a spade, and as this is still in the one zone. it will not show a big hand and the bidding will not get too high"
 So, summing 1t all up, you will find that, if you bid minor suit and then a major, and the second bid Is in the two zone (for ex- ample: one diamond, two clubs by partner. two spades by you, which would force your partner to take you to three if he wants to sup. port the first suit. you must have a strong hand But if you open up with a minor suit lone diamond by you. one heart by partner, one spade by you), this does not neces- surily show a big hand. because you are still in the one zone.

Solution 10 Previous Contract Problem

I was playing with a new part ner recently. and he said to me, "Is your reversal of suits showing a forcing bid?" I said, T resume what you are referring to is the bidding of minor suit first and a major. on the next /round."
 He said. "Yes, is that a forcing bid with you?" My reply was, Mot as a conventional bid, but nat uralll, on a common sense basis, at certain times I am showing a good hand" t.,.
 So today I want to explain this type of bidding. Let's take up hand No. first.
 We have four spades and five diamonds. and both suits biddable. Now we @ not just bid the minor suit first because it is five card suit. We have to. do a little analyz- ing as to what may happen. So yau say to yourself.
 'If I bid a diamond, it looks as if my partners response is going to be two clubs, because hold a singleton and, if he has a bid at all, he probably has preponder- ance of clubs.
 "Now. If he bids two clubs, my next bid can safely be two spades

and my partner will know that I have strong hand, because. when I bid two spades, I am telling him that, if he has better diamonds than spades, he is perfectly safe in taking the contract to three dia- monds."
 Therefore, with hand as strong as this, we are safe in opening the minor suit first. .
 Now let us change the duece of diamonds to the deuce of hearts. We have four spades, four hearts, four diamonds, and a singleton club. You can still bid diamond, hoping that your partner can bid one of the two majors. If he bids two clubs. your hand still is strong enough to bid two spades, and he Mill know that you have four card spade suit and a good hand.
 Now let us take hand No. 2: Be-

Nothing pleases the average wo- man more than cosmetic and beau- ty gadget gifts. Even if you can't afford to send expensive perfumes and powders, you can make little items that are decorative on Q dressing table and useful as well. If mother has no dressing table, you might buy an inexpensive un- painted one and, sometime between now and Christmas, have Dad lac- quer it to match her room. Put an attractive ruffled skirt on 1t, add 8 really good mirror and the ideal gift is ready.
 Individual powder puffs make nice gifts, too. Simply buy Q large roll of cotton, divide it into small round balls and paste a thin piec of heavy, shiny colored paper across the top of each one. Wrap Q couple of dozen with different col- ored tops in cellophane, tie with Q huge Christmas bow. If you like, fill a glass powder jar with the little puffs.
 A long-handled powder puff can be fashioned from an eight or nine inch stick and plain colored pun. Wrap the stick with pastel ribbon and fasten the puff to one end. In- dividual lipstick pads for the purse and for guest rooms are made from three-inch squares of facial tisues tied together, book-fashion. with ribbon. These save wear and tear on guest towels and handkerchiefs.

However, 1t is encour- aging to note that only l2 per cent had given not thought to their fu- ture vacations. Nearly half reported that tests of intelligence and traits of personality by psychologists had helped them decide on their voca- tiotlS.

He remembered Larry Glenn's admonition to keer his eye on everything that seemed in the least degree out of the ordi- nary, in the hope that he could un. earth some sort of clew to the whereabouts of the plant where the armored cars were made; could this afternoons doing have any connection with that?

 3. One of the curious contradic- ton in our curiosity irrational and contradictory human nature is that many women, and some men, ind their highest happiness in being mastered and dominated-in abject submission to some unquesticned authority. Such women want noth- ing so much as . ''lord and mas ter" who makes them tremble when he is displeased but who sifnels on them when they succeed in pleasing him. The constant hazard of rcus- ing his dlspleasure and the intense hope of giving him pleasure, strange to say, gives them Q sense of security which they dare not seek for on their own. To them this is happi- ness.
