John H. d. Langc- Bartel Of
Quincy. Ill, has sent me today's
hand. with the sage observation that
"unthinking slips" by the opponents
often are the safest guides to the
correct contract at bridge.
This Is exactly true. There Is no
easier opponent at the bridge table
than the player who warns, by
double, that q certain contemplated
contract Ia unsafe, unless he is sure
that you have no safety elsewhere.
Not all bridge players, however
have learned this fundamental truth

And there was Leo Dietrich
stein, who first starred in THE
Great Lover''-never a handsome
man, but to the last, the greatest
of all great lovers. And Rudolph
Valentino, who died at the height
of his popularity but whose charm
was of that amaranthine quality

Of the screen lovers Of today,

I have often wondered what be-

love-making days are over. Funny,
YOU can cheerfully bear to watch
the bald spot increasing on top OF
your husbands head; but it is posi-
