 nonds without losing a trick. With most players the temptation to risk all on an immediate finesse in clubs or diamonds would be overwhelming.
 One player, however found a much better line. He led the jack of diamonds, but played the ace and then the king, and when the queen dropped his troubles were over, as he was able to cash five diamonds, two spades. one heart and one club. Had he finessed either clubs or diamonds, he would have lost his contract.

PARENTS

! teop4e sWltn infer4o4it ny complexes like to sleep late in the mornings.
 Ihave lived long enough and ob- served sufficiently to know that this is true. The day, you see, instead of promising more victories, merely threatens defeat. If there is no act ual threat, the dread is there just the same. In brief, fear or dread IS in- feriority.
 It cannot be cured and this is the worst part of it. But if un- derstood and acknowledged by the parent, early in a child'S life, certain compensations can be given that answer quite well for courage. One is to help the child to look forward to the sunrise.
 He goes to bed living over the mistakes of his day. He lost the place in reading and they all laughed. He forgot to get but ter, brought home the wrong kind of coffee, and was told that he hadn't any wits at all. He let slip to Aunt Mary about our going away, when it was to be dead secret. He couldn't catch the bail his father threw, and was jeered down.

He does mt think very clearly about all these things, but certain vague pail hangs over the future. Fear, Fear of what people will say, what they will think, how they will laugh. The responsibility of waking hours is just too much.
 The last thing at night, it is an excellent idea for mother to have an intimate little talk with her un- sure child. At first he won't respond because such secrets are agony to communicate. But by and by, he may be willing to unburden part of it, if his troubles are understood and taken seriously.
 To talk them over is half the cure.
 Now may the mother apply her healing remedies. She can relate mistakes she has made, for exam pie, that were far more serious than his; and explain how miser- able little mistakes are part of everybody's hfe. Here is a grand op- portunity also, to tell him about the hundred things he does right and more than right.

No awkward moments at the Browns when the prominent Will lets come calling. The Browns are sure of their etiquette.
 After a cordial greeting MT. Brown takes the wraps of his guests; Mrs. Brown seats them com- fortably. MT. Brown starts imper- sonal talk-about new radio pro- gram.

Then Mrs. Smith apolog- ized for her refreshments, unaware that such excuses are in bad taste. She spoke, too, of her husband as MT. Smith," instead of simply, and correctly, as my husband"

closer inspection reveals subtle irl- tricacies of cut which make their whole chic Bodices are important. Generally speaking, they stress the bustline. This is achieved by the use of old-fashioned darts and scanning or else a symmetrical horizontal or vertical draperies which stop just under the bust. Sleeves are some times cut in one piece with the yoke, others show horizontal folds which give the impression of semi-long sleeve pushed back over the elbow Most of them are short, although there are a few long ones featured and AliX has several models with no sleeves at all, the bodice cut in such a way that it covers the shoulders.
 Waist and hips are the strategic points to look out for in choosing an afternoon dress. Both are stress ed this year-much more so than last year-and rounded hips are in fashion, with the waistline nipped- min almost to hour-glass dimen- Sions.
 Skirts that are kilted, pleated and shirred in a hundred different ways, with the fullness held in just below the hipbone; are indicated for the youthful slim figure, and are very new. The envelope style, fastening at the front or at the back, is how ever, just as new and easier on most figures, so is the bias cut skirt, with restrained fullness at the hem.
 For Slender Ankles Only
 Only the girl with slender legs and ankles can think of wearing a skirt with the hem outlined in a contrasting color. Paris is showing number of dresses with hens stress ed with print, braid or embroidery in contrasting color or fabric re- beating the decorative motif of the model. Rosevienne does this very ef- fectively in a navy blue crepe dress with the hem of the sleeves, bolero bodice and skirt edged in gayly- colored print on white ground.

Gl0uvng Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

"The majority of modern women who live alone (whether they like their isolated status or not), seem to pay too much attention to per- sonal grooming or else far too lit tle," says an artist (male, you may be. sure). Why can't these girls who have more free time than women with husbands and children learn to budget it sensibly"
 By way of explanation, my irate informant pointed out that he cer- tainly would hate to be forced to have a second date with any woman who spends so much time doing her face and nails, taking baths, press ing clothes and washing her hair that she never can manage to read the daily paper and read it daily, learn a few new facts now and then find something interesting to talk about. Also that he would detest just as much the idea of having to date more than once an unkempt, untidy, positively dowdy girl, re- gardleSS of her bainS or personal charm.
 The artist - the majority of men, in fact-want us to be clean and neat, dressed in good taste, of course. But they have no pa- tience with any woman who makes a fetish of and overdoes the business of beauty.
 If your home and time are your own once you have finished a days work, do figure out way to keep hair clean and shining, nails perfectly manicured, clothes spic and span and skin smooth and still have time to read and enjoy your leisure.
 And don't discuss your beauty routines with men. They want us to look alluringly lovely, but they don't want to know how we &C., roInplish the feat or the lurid details of what would happen if we did not use certain prepara- kinns . certain way.

It is this. Put the case in the hands of the best doctor you know at the earliest possible moment and permit no one else to interfere or offer suggestions of any kind.

While many. of the afternoon dresses shown are accompanied by a coat or jacket, this should not be in- terpreted as an arbitrary fashion. Every single one of the models is complete by itself and offered in a wide variety of styles.
 Prints are smart, but if budget only runs to one afternoon dress, a solid color one is more practical. With grey, beige, yellow, every shade of blue, including navy, and the so-practical black. sponsored by Paris, the choice of color is mere ly a matter of personal taste and requirements. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that a color con- trast must be introduced to avoid monotony-an unforgiveable style fault in this year of grace-and if this is not intrduced in the dress itself, it should be achieevd with light or dark accessories, whichever harmonizes best.
