his first promotion, from a pa

bureau, had come about through
one Of the finest exhibitions of
personal bravery in the records
OF the department. Since then ad-

 The king of spades was played from dummy. West covered with the ace and North ruffed. Declarer then led heart to dummy's jack. The queen of spades was played, upon which declarer discarded the king of diamonds.
 The queen of diamonds was played next, and when West failed to cover a club was discarded. West covered the next diamond lead, but to no avail.
 North ruffed, re-entered dummy with trump and discarded his los- ing clubs on dummy's established diamonds, making seven.

thoroughly dries it. After the
hair is dry the hair-dressel
combs it out, sets the waves
and vigorously combs and
brushes the end curls. When
his work is completed he
sprays the hair with Oil which
gives it a glossy finish.
This all costs the person the
exorbitant sum of about 8

Upon leaving the beauty salon
(Which is as modern as ours
in every way) all the atten-
dants who waited on me bid
me farewell, It is customary
here to give each attendant a
1919 tip, which they expect.
This amounts to a tidy sum
in Magyar money but means
only a few cents to us. The
girls at the beauty shops who
work in the large cities are
mostly manicurists.

and freshening up a bit, !

Before we 60 for dinner, let

where the bus goes into gear
as it climbs the long steep hill

Each shop was different
from it's neighbor. The shops
were more specialized than
here. If you want drugs, you
go to an apothecary shop; il
one wants a bar Of soap one
goes to a drug store; if one
wants a purse, one goes to q
pocketbook shop. Each shop
carries only its line of goods:
feathers, leather goods, linen
linen goods, etc.
The shops are quite modern,
many have indirect lighting
systems, and have public
paying telephone stations. The
clerks are courteous, patient,
and willing. The public tele-
phones are all found on the
sidewalk in glass compart-
ments. They have the dial
and operator systems.
Four o'clock found me in a
beauty salon which yielded
more than one surprises, I'll
assure you.
Mrs. Papp showed me in. I
am sure that I would not have
been able to make myself un-
derstood SO I was very thank
full for her assistance. She in
formed a charming young lady
that I was to have a certain
person wash my hair then
"Hold ur' was to set it. The
attendant took my hat, where
as a young man greeted me
with a deep bow. He took me
into a booth and proceeded to
give me a good rub and
shampoo.
I was told, (much to my
surprise) that Hungarian per-
manent waves last much lon
ger than ours. Perhaps this
is due to the treatment be-
fore and after the wave. After
the customer has had hair
washed by the beautician
(98%o are men) he again rubs
her scalp, sets her hair and
