Cotton Gloves
Provided With
Aid for Hands
BY ALICIA HART

A rich hand cream, packed with
pink cotton gloves to wear at night,
nail polish in a rust shade,
combination compact and cigaret
case and a lipstick that can be
monogrammed are a few of the new
and exciting cosmetic items in which
you'll be interested right now.
The hand cream certainly is the
answer to your problem of keep
ing your hands soft and smooth in
spite of cold winter winds. Made
by reputable firm and put up at
tractively. this is to be smoothed
on lavishly at night. The gloves
which come with it Cat no extra
CHARGE are to be worn while you
sleep.
The rust-colored nail polish Gt
doesn't peel and doesn't seem to
change color is especially f1atter-
ing to creamy skins. Even IS your
natural complexion tones ar. pink
instead of yellowish, this is a nice
change and looks well with the new
East Indian lipsticks with delicate
orange lights.
Speaking of lipstick. one with a
blank space where the manufac-
turer's name usually is. gives you
chance TO have your own Mono
gram put on. Incidentally, this
makes an ideal gift.
The compact which holds loose
powder and rouge and half a pack
of cigarets is set with red or green
stones in geometric design. A slide
arrangement makes it no larger
than the average vanity case.

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY. VIM. E. M'KINNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
A T present great deal of dis
"A cussion and thought is being
given to international bridge. On
every occasion the American play
er has proved himself far superior
to our friends across the sea.
The English do not like the
American bridge rules and Eng
lish bridge writer's are inclined to
take friendly jab at American
players, whenever given the oppor-
tunity. However, I notice that in
the British Bridge magazine the
more prominent articles are writ
ten by Americans.
Take, for example, the one writ
ten by F. K. Perkins, of Boston,
which appeared in recent issue
of the magazine under the title,
Stripping Them Down" This is
one of the best I have read on the
end play.
Here is his first example:
West opens the king of dia-
monds and, when a singleton
shows up in dummy, he shifts to
the queen of hearts. Declarer can
see that, to make his doubled con-
tract, he has to keep from losing
two clubs and a trump trick.
AS West has doubled the con-
tract, he undoubtedly holds the
king of trump; therefore. the play
of the hand is planned on this
assumption.
The ace of hearts is cashed and
a small heart ruffed. The ace of
trump is played. but the king does
not drop. Now declarer rufus a
diamond, then returns a heart and
rufus. Another diamond is ruffed
and then the last heart from
dummy is ruffed.
Now declarer is ready to grant
West his trump trick, so he leads
a spade, throwing West into the
lead. West now has no play that
will permit him to make more
than one club trick.

Dana had waited until her grand
mother was well, and then one day
had broken the news.
"We won't tell any one" she
said. Were planning to go off
one night soon, drive to Lakeville
and be married. 1 couldn't bear
any publicity. And Ronnie doesn't
want it, either. Afterward we will
go on a honeymoon. Take a
cruise-that's what Ronnie
wants."
Lines of care were lifted from
Mrs. Cameron's face. Aunt Ellen
had tried to smile, Dana saw, but
couldn't manage it. Sentimental
old dear
Sarah's black face snone with ex-
element. Nothing could happen in
the home without Sara knowing
about it.
Not word of this, Sarah" Mrs.
Cameron warned through long
habit. Miss Dana and Mr.. Ronnie
don't want any one to know until
after they are married"
Eyes, Ole Mis-! Nobody could
drag it out of me-"
"There1l be lots to do. Get some
cleaners in here tomorrow. I wish
there was time to have those dra-
peries taken down and cleaned.
Have Jake get in that garden and
rake up all those leaves. Well have
the kitchen painted with some of
that quick drying stuff they use
now"
Dana listened, faint smile on
her face. The news of her plans
to marry Scott two years ago had
been received so differently. She
mustn't think of that now She
must mark off those two years.
From now on it must be as though

"I'll go up" Dana said.
Nancy had washed her hair and
was sitting before the fire, letting it
dry in Gypsyish tangle. With tbs
waving locks about her thin face,

eyes were charming under her

she said. quickly. "Ronnie and are

That was the way. No prelimi-

Nancy's face changed. All the
softness was gone. And it was white
and queer looking. Her dark eyes
blazed.

'Ronnie!"
YES" said Dana bewildered.
you're going to marry Ronnle?"
Nancy, you're not pleased?"
Pleased" Nancy was laughing
suddenly, Historically.
So Ronnie had been right
that day. Nancy did hate him.
Dana spoke stiffly, "I'm sorry you
feel that way about Ronnie. It's
hard to understand how you
could dislike him when he's so
fine and when he likes you so
much, too"
Nancy's long lashes swept her
cheeks a moment as she lowered her
eyes. Il imagine you're going to
tell me you're in love with Ronnie,
Dana" she said in low voice.
We'll, you can spare the words. But
I suppose it doesn't matter. No
body knows the meaning of the
word nowadays"
I'm terribly fond of Ronnie, "
Dana said in a low voice. I'm
through with the kind of love you
mean. I hope I'll never love like
that again"
"And what about Ronnie?"
What difference does it make?"
Dana said slowly. Lots of mar

That farm prices for agricultur-
al commodities produced on Della

is shown in a report on changes in
the agricultural situation in Della
ware during the period 1932-1935,
which was received recently at the
Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of the University of Della
ware from the Agricultural Ad-
juStment Administration in Wash
ington, D. C. Farm prices, being
the actual cash price the farmer
received for the produce from his
farm, have risen materially for all
products, the report shows. The
greatest unit price increase being
for wool which rose 1871 per cent
from 1882 to 1885 with the average
farm price in Delaware in 1882 be-
ing 81 cents per pound and the
1885 average price being % cents
per pound. Other increases in av-
erage farm prices were as follows:
Wheat, a % cent jump from the
1882 average of 81 cents per BUSH
el to the 1885 average price of 79
cents per bushel; Corn, from the
1882 average of As cents per bush
el to go per bushel in 1885; Hay,

MARSH FIRE AT NEW CASTLE
Burning of Rubbish Sets Fire to
Marsh Grass, Threatens Buildings

Famed by a strong northwest
wind, a marsh fire Monday morn
ing assumed serious proportions.
Burning papers from the city dump
apparently were blown over to the
marshland lying adjacent to the
ferry cutoff and, swept by the
stiff breeze, the flames endangered
a row of houses fringing the
marsh on East Fourth Street, par
ticularly the properties of Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Bowen and Mrs. .Eugenia
Abbott. The Good Will Fire Com
pany was able to bring the fire un-
der control before actual damage
occurred. 1t was necessary for the
fire engine to enter the area from
two angles to accomplish this. The
engine first drove to the marsh on
the right of way adjoining the
Bowen property and again from
the cutoff. Clouds of smoke filled
the sky and particles of burnt leav-
es and debris fioated to adjoining
properties.

GAME SEASON
OPENS IN STATE
Cold Winds Mar Opening Day
In This Vicinity With
Few Bags Reported
PHEASANTS LAWFUL

A cold driving wind and a light
ly snow-ocevered ground greeted
the opening on Monday of the Del
aware small game season a disap-
pointment to thousands of Della
ware sportsmen. A few gunners
in widely separated sections of the
state reported good bags, however.
A record breaking sale of cunning
licenses, nearly $4,000, indicated
the high expectations of the gun
ners, Clarence Foster, chief game
warden of the State Game and
Fish Commission, reported. Only
one game law violation was report
ed in New Castle County, and no
accidents were reported in the en-
tire state. Despite the extremely
high winds and the snow, several
glnners started out shortly before
sunrise to comb the fields and
woods for rabbits and birds All
the gunners reported sighting
plenty of birds and rabbits but be-
cause of the high winds the game
was hard to hit and the dogs were
unable to track the animals unless
in a sheltered place. Bird dog
owners reported the same exper-
fence. Officials of the game COM
mission anxiously awaited the re
action of the gunners to the open
ing of the pheasant season this
year. Leonard K. Yerger, presi-
dent of the commission. said that
he felt Monday was no test for the
cunning of the birds, however, be-
cause of the bad conditions. A
number of gunners reported seeing
pheasants in all sections of Della
ware, particularly the marshy Sec
tions, but very few were killed.
Many gunners blamed the high
winds for distorting the shot pat
tern. Rabbit gunners reported a
little better luck but also blamed
the wind for so many misses.
