His reply was, If had, my part ner would have bid four no trump. Now, isn't 1t better to go down two tricks not doubled for Q loss of 100 points, rather than have my partner bid four or i've no trump, get dou- hled and then 90 down possibly 800 or 700 points9"
 fIaddad's reasoning on this hand was that he had saved 400 to 600 points.
 Some of fIaddad's partnership rules are:
 "Never tell your partner that he has lost Q trick in the play of the hand, or he will lose two on the next hand, worrying about the last one. If your partner is the type of play CT who wants to play ell the hands, do no try to outbid him, he will cost you too many points. Instill corlfi- dence in your partner, as partner Ill ct ease forces you to play against three opponents" '3' WIZ Copyright, 1885; NEA Service. 1nc.)

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Hands that are cared for prop erly will remain just as smooth and white during the winter months as they were last summer. It is ne- glect alone which causes them to become red and rough.
 Remember that hand lotion or cream should be applied after each washing-not merely once or twice a day. Pick a greaseless variety which leaves no oily residue on the inside of your gloves.
 When you have scrubbed hands and nails with lukewarm (not hot) water and 8 bland soap, rinse, then dray carefully, pushing cuticle back with the towel. Smooth on hand lotion or cream and massage 1t in, using upward strokes from finger tips to wrists. Be sure to put plen- ty on wrists.
 If, in spite of meticulous wash- ing and diligent use of lotion, your hands seem to chap, use plain warm olive oil or rich tissue cream on them one night 6 week. Lavish- ly coat them with one or the oth- CT, then wear clean cotton gloves while you sleep.
 Be sure your evening as well as daytime gloves aren't too tight. After ail, while Q half size smaller actually can make no difference ih the appearance of the size of your hands, 1t can mean the difference between ugliness and beauty. Tight ones often cause redness for some time after they are taken of.

horrible to feel people are specu- lating about you, looking at you and wondering and saying '"There's Dana Stanley. We'll, she and Scott have hit the rocks already"
 Aunt Ellen nodded. "They prob- ably will say those things. But you must be brave and face the music. You can't become 8 recluse because you and Scott couldn't live together. After while people will forget. It's 8 good thing most of us have such short memories"
 Dana said, "It's a nice day. Fresh and sunshiny, though Q lit- tie windy. I'll enjoy getting out" She said 1t for her aunt,s benefit and saw Aunt Ellen's face bright- et1.
 Dana was scarcely out of sight when the doorbell rang. A moment later Sarah plodded up the stairs, her eyes bulging.
 "It's Mister Ronnie," she said, He's askin' for Miss Dana."
 Aunt Ellen fiuttered down. With her sister and Nancy both away, she didn't know what she would say to the young man. It didn't seem decent, exactly, for him to be ir1quiring for Dana when the child was still married. Still she'd have to give him some sort of ans-

Solution to Previous Colitract Problem

I should like to talk to you today about your partner, the most irnpor- tant factor in your game of contract bridge.
 Last year I selected Louis J. Had dad of Chicago, president of the American Bridge league, as the greatest rubber bridge player in the country. I have been in Chicago the past several weeks and have had quite an opportunity to observe his play. "
 I have found out why he is Amer ica's greatest rubber player. There is nothing superhumaf1 about his play of the cards or his bidding, but he is everybody's favorite partner.
 l should like to tell you about Q recent hand I watched in Q rubber game. Haddad opened the biding with one heart; hss partner bid one no trump; Haddad, two hearts: his partner, two no trump, very quickly. Three hearts," quietly said MT. Haddad. Three no trump" boldly came from Haddad's partner, where- upon Haddad passed. After the hand was over, de- clarer Inumbled something about the queen of spades and the jack of clubs bejsg wrong and he was set two tricks for minus 100 points.
 looked at HaddadS hand and saw that 1t was lay down for four hearts and he had a play for i've. After the rubber was over, I asked Tied1ad why he did not bid four hearts.

Style Chats

Paris (Up)-judging from the mid season collections, 1t seems quite possible that the divided skirt will be Q common everyday feature of the new collections which will be shown the latter parts of January and early In February.
 The divided skirts, which In Q bulky and awkward form were used as riding habits Q quarter of Q cen- tury ago, have evolved into chic, tailored garments. They had their start in the form of practical skirts for country sports wear, but have since developed into town garments as well. rll
 The division is fer less noticeable than it was iil the earlier models. The new tweed suits are % well cut with simulated pleats in front and back that no one would guess that the skirt was divided into trousers.
 The new sports or morning suits are usually found in practical eii- sembles consisting of divided skirt, tailored jacket and three.quarter length coat or cape. Sapphire blue and various reds ranging from rust to deep garnet are popular eaades. In c contrasting color to the suits themselves are lightweight wcolen bicuses fashioned with long sleeves and simply draped, high. severe flecklines. f6

likely to develop a calcium-poor condition, which will be reflected in its health.
 If the normal amount of cal. cium in the body is greatly re. duced, disturbing symptoms ap- pear. Among these are convulsive or spasmodic symptoms called tetany. Infants with convulsive disorders sometimes are relieved promptly by adding calcium to their diets. N,
 Milk products also provide cal. cium in excellent form. One and sixteenth cubic inches of Americas cheese contain 20 times as much calcium as four ounces of lean beef and 12 times as much calcium as one egg yolk.
 Swiss cheese contains l4 timese as much calcium as cottage cheese weight for weight. American Cheddar cheese contains .7l per cent of calcium: Swiss cheese los per cent, and cottage cheese, orr per cent.

wer. Young people did the most amazing things. Aunt Ellen knew she must be careful, because her sister would be furious if this par- ticular young man was offended.
 "Dana's out walking Aunt El- len said vaguely. She added (and the devil himself must have been prompting her), "She went south. She can't be so very far away be- cause she only left . few minutes ago."
 Bonnie thanked her and left.
 T couldn't help it," Aunt Ellen told herself. Maybe Q nice brisk drive would cheer Dana up Q Mt- tle."
 Dana's feet were taking lner along Q familiar way. It was the same walk she had taken the afternoon she had been caught in the deluge and Scott had come rum ming after her. Every step was filled with memories. This was the street where Scott had lived then. His house stood at the end of the block.
 She had almost reached the car standing in front of 5cott's house before she recognized 1t. It was Scott's car. Dana put out 9 hand and touched 1t. Suddenly she was shaken by sobs, blinded by tears. She opened the door and climbed in. Sinking back against the seat, she gave up to desolatior1. She would sit here and wait. When Scott came out she would tell him what was in her heart. She would tell him she couldn't go on with out him, ask what had become of the love he had once had for her.
 Suddenly fear gripped her. What if Paula had not gone away as people said? What if she had taken over Scott's house? Perhaps the tenants had given it up and Paula had come here, knowing that someday she would be its mistress.
 The story that Paula had left town had been so vague. Nobody knew where she had gone. But if Paula should appear with Scott and find her weeping her heart out 1t would be the final blow = the one thing Dana couldn't en- dure. She slipped out of the car, and turned her face homeward.
 A moment later Scott came out of the house. He glanced down the street, and his heart leaped wildly. That was Dana, not more than @ block away. She was walking slow ly.
 Scott hesitated a moment. Then he started walking rapidly toward the distant figure.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Who can guess a child's thoughts? We think of them as open books betraying every change of feeling We expect joy to register uncon- fined when they are happy-shouts grins and all the rest; think that astonishment will show in round eyes and open mouths; that per- plexity near frown and hurnil- iation lowercc;. glances.
 How wrong we are! Actually most children are regular poker faces. Most of the time, at any rate. The two emotions that they make no attempt to cover are dis may and visibility" the latter being @ sense of the ridiculous and its immediate response, laugh- ter. Under "dismay" come pain and disappointment. These all being elemental, there is seldom any tn- hibition about them.
 Cover Other Feelings
 Otherwise children prefer to cover their feelings. It is more marked on some small folk than in others. There is, of course. the natural, spontaneous child, usually one with out too much training, who, savage like, gives complete vent to his feel- ings. But as civilization has taught man to mask his thoughts, so has life, even short one, inhibited our children from showing theirs. More than that; the child does 1t from a sense of protection also. He pre- fefs- to draw into himself when people are so anxious to comment on what he does. He wants atten- ton. He claims the privacy of his feelings.
 Do not let this fool you, par- ents. Children do forget things in the excitement of living, but they also remember. They remember ex- treme joy and extreme sorrow. By association of ideas, too, they re- member small unilmportant matters because they have occurred at the same time 8 more impressive event happened.
 Amazing Memory
 A mother shows a small child some wonder of the world. Per- haps a litter of baby-pigs or a bear dancing to a street organ. He may simply stare and not say 8 word. She is disappointed because he seems 50 apathetic. All the coaxing in the world won't get a rise out of him for days. He goes on about his business as though nothing had happened. .,.
 Then one day 8 year later, or maybe more, he calls out from the back seat, Mother, there is that place where we saw the bear" She has forgotten the street and build ings, or the farm, but he remem- bers. At the time, the delight so silently registered on his rnirad- plate (without anyone suspecting it) took other things on the film with 1t too. ,.,,, ...A .
 One never can judge ctild's happiness or misery by his face. If more parents realized this, they would not take 1t for granted that he has no cares or worries. If he will not eat, or is a restless sleeper or is generally not well, 1t may be without any physical cause at all, but instead, Q deep linhappiness that needs delicate handling and understanding.

Our bones are hard because they are made largely from calcium or lime. The average man has about four pounds of calcium in his body, nast of. 1t in bones and teeth.
 While most of the bodys cal- eium is in these structures, about One-tenth of gram is present in each quart of blooddd. The calcium in the blood is extremely import ant for body health.
 The average grown person re- uuires about .45 gram of calcium every day. This is about one- eixtieth of an ounce. Expectant mothers require more calcium, because the baby draws on the mothers supply for the growth of it's skeleton. Nursing mothers re- quire additional calcium SO the child may secure a sufficient amount in the milk. < The child of from 3 to 13 years p3 age requires about twice as much calcium as the average adult, about one-thirtieth of an ounce each day.
 The baby at birth is calcium poor. If its bones were as hard at the time 1t is born as they be- come later, many of them would be broken during the birth process; in fact, flexibility of the bones of the child ct birth makes 1t possible for at Co be born without too many injuries. dfis
