What they really expect, and fear,
from present indications is that Sem
ator La Toilette, inheritor of progress
siveness which he has intensified, Is
likely to be selected by Roosevelt to
carry forward his New Deal policies.
They presume to see that the Demo-
cratic party would swing to radical
ism and that there would be nothing
for the conservative Democrats and
conservative Republicans to do but
unite with change of name, TO avoid
the inbred aversion to the name Re-
publican, into new conservative

Vexed Over Change in Rules.
The abrogation of the two-thirds
rule in Philadelphia was death blow
to Southern politicians. They fully
understood what it meant and have
been intensely vexed. 1t meant that
the Northern and Western wings Of
the party could write the platform
and nominate the candidate for
President without any permission or
successful opposition from the South.
The North and West, united, can do
as they please on PLATFORM and presi-

the political leaders in North Caro-

Democrats, they have no part in the

there was smell of liquor, too.
She said, II know! 1t must have

There's no reason for you to keep

too lightly. The episode at Paula's
apartment had left him more un-
comfortable than he had believed
possible. He had queer, guilty
feeling. Though he didn't know
why.

Care of Feet
Shown to Be
Easy at Home
BY ALICIA HART

A pedicure is one of the easiest
beauty routines to do at home.
With a file, emery board, pusher,
cuticle remover and bright polish,
any girl can groom her feet per-
fectly.
After you have had your bath,
put cuticle remover around every
toenail, then cut each one straight
across. Sooth down rough edges
with file or emery board, push cuti-
Gle and dry skin, rinse off cuticle re-
mover, wipe carefully and your toes
are ready for polish.
Even though you like neutral pol
ish on your fingernails, better use
bright shade on your toes. Cover
the entire surface, using an orange
stick to remove any which spills
over along the edges. One coat
should suffice.
incidentally, polish on toenails
will stay on for about four weeks
unless, of course you spend a good
part of each day on a sandy beach.
Care of corns and punlonS never
should be included in the home ped
icure. These must be treated by a
foot specialist. CallouseS can be
smoothed down with a piece Of
pumice, but be careful not TO rub
too vigorously.
You should, of course, use a foot
cream or rich nourishing cream
on feet and ankles at least twice a
week

WTHEN fashion sets out to
w dress the exodus to tropi-
cal sunshine she provides the
sun, not excepting Bermuda,
where every one cycles and needs
divided skirts for the exercise,
and where sport dresses of the
shirtwaist vogue in linens, silks or
hand knits are necessary for the
carriage trade.
These specialized play clothes
in fashion are part of every fash
ion showing these days, the more
to give you wanderlust. LIE Coz
Rouge restaurant went so far as
to give bicycle breakfast the
other morning, to which society
cycled.
Upon their arrival a debutante
committee presented a Bermuda
fashion show that featured hand
knitted cruise costumes. starry
eyed evening gowns and few
very new interpretations of play
costumes.
1t was from the latter group
that We selected the cycling cos
tune sketched on today's page.
1t is shorter than the usual cul-
lotte, just knee length to be exact.
Made of heavy white linen, the
short divided skirt and the short
bolero are intercepted by a hand
knit string halter in varying
shades of blue. They match the
blue striped espadrilles that can
be worn for cycling if you're pretty
good, but better substitute sturdy
sport shoes if you're not.
The hanknitS that look UNI
questionably right for cruising
make the most of navy and white
contrasts and nautical motifs for
accents. One we liked best in
cluded a one-piece handknit dress
in white and navy tailored
jacket, also hand knit. The regu-
lation styles done in quality
fabrics are always better invest
ments than the novelties in dresses
and suits, especially when pointed
up by bright scarfs and patterned
shoes that can be as giddy as you
like.

of coming to the Richardson's as Bill
asked you to do"
II didn't know how formal Bills
party was, and I didn't feel like
dressing"

Dana said She was ashamed of
tsrself. but the long wait, the odor
of liquor and something in Scott
eyes combined to make her feel ter
ribly shaken. Tears rolled down her
face.
IF you don't believe me, call
Irene Winchester and ask her what
time we left" Scott suggested cold
ly,
Il suppose they were last to
leave" Scott said.
I'VE left together" Scott hest
tated, checking himself.
"Well?"
Look here, Dana, I'm sick of
this internal questioning"
Dana's face was so stricken
that he added, eff you must
know, I was leaving with them,
when Paula called me back for
some idiotic reason
What did she want?"
Not a darn thing!" By this time
Scott was raging. 1t was pretty
hard when man had definitely,
unequivocably put temptation be-
hind him to be met with suspicion
and distrust. True, the tempta-
ton, in the guise of woman with
all '>r defenses down, weakly
thrJ.lg herself at his head, had
been no temptation at all. Scott
had been re7olted by Paulas eXhi-
bition. Yet here was Dana, sur
veying him with unhappy, accus-
ing eyes.

toward her.

cried. Don't come near me-"
eff that's the way you feel about
it, l won't" he retorted angrily.
Dana heard him go to the linen
closet in the hall. He came back
into the room with blanket on
his arm. Then he turned out the
light.
In the cold, gray morning, Dana
awoke after a fitful sleep. Scott
was lying, doubled up on one of
into the room with a blanket on
half across him. One arm sprawled
grotesquely off the sofa, his hand
touching the floor
Poor darling Dana thought in
swift remorse She lifted SCOTS
arm, pulled the cover up, tucking
it about him closely. Then she laid
repentant kiss on his forehead.

Solution to Precious
Contract Problem
BY VIM. E. M'KENNEY
Serretarv American Rr;doe Jaacua

MANY of my readers will recall
4V1 the defensive discard series
I wrote about a month or so ago.
There is no question that this
play is one of the greatest devel-
opments in play of the hand that
has been presented to bridge
players in the last 10 years. It's
possibilities are almost unlimited.
For example, here is the way it
was used in one of the hands at
the recent national championship
tournament in Chicago. sponsored
by the American Bridge League.
At several tables this hand was
played at four hearts and. unless
club was opened, the four heart
contract was made. However. one
pair played it at three no trump,
South being declarer.

and, when East played the ten,

card play. On declarer's ace Of
clubs, West should play the king,
which tells partner that his in
card is in the higher of the two
suits.
When declarer leads the ten of
hearts, to establish the heart suit,
East wins with the ace, and, in
stead of making the natural re-
turn of diamond, he shifts to
spade. This defeats the contract
one trick.
If a diamond were played, the
contract could be made.
