Found Herself
Locating Homes

Mrs. Hayes found herself
doing just that, and the thought
occurred to her that she might
better take it up as a business,
which she promptly did.
She wasn't quite brave enough
to open her own office and
hang out her own single, how
ever, until the day she sold a
house to some French diplo-
mats. They had been looking
for two months, but signed on
the dotted line for the first
house she showed them.
From that moment on she
knew she could make her bust
ness go. Now her firm Is agent
for several apartment buildings
with offices occupying an en-
tire building, with a staff Of
seven including her son, Jack
Hayes, who will eventually take
over mis- mothers business.
Whether she realizes it or not,
that southern background and
social training, and her expe-
rience living in many parts Of
the country are important con-
tributing factors in her achieV.

Dry Them
In The Sun

White sheets are dried best in
the sun. Dry straight, not dou-
bled over the line, if possible.
Colored sheets should be kept
out of direct sunlight. Even the
fastest dyes are bleached by the
Sun-that's why white sheets
get so white in the sun!
When your sheets are dry,
sprinkle them with clear water,
and fold twice 1engthwiSe, sell
wages together. Then roll up
until you are ready to iron.
The trick Of ironing sheets
and pillow cases is to keep the
hens straight and even. Do pill
low cases last, working away
from the closed corners. Iron
embroidery or monograms on
the wrong side. For all this, the
household ironer is ideal. Put
each sheet through doubled
lengthwise and then folded
again. Do not press crosswiSe.

Famous Authority on Problems
of Love and Marriage
Copyright, 1888. by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
A HAPPY marriage can
"A not be a one-sided af-
fair.
A young man who finds
that his wife's heart is SEEM
ingly encased in ice, and that
he himself is fated to do all
the loving, isn't going to
have a very happy life.
Since many nen, even
young ones, are quite I'M
aware of the danger Of max
ing this mistake in choos-
ing a life partner, girls
should beware of giving a
wrong impression Of them
selves.
1t sometimes happens that q
young man who has been see
ing good deal Of a girl, who
knows that she is pretty and
chic, who has been fascinated
by her gayety and liveliness,
pulls himself up sharply and
calls a halt. For what reason?
Why, simply that he's half way
in love with her, yet knows
she isn't the girl to spend his
life with. So he's withdrawing
while withdrawal is possible.
Hasn't Found
Real Person
You see, he doesn't want to
marry a mere decorative msnni.
kin. He wants q sweet, sound
warmth e arted, b1g.natured
woman, capable of all that wife
hood and motherhood may ask
of her. And in this pretty chit
who has almost succeeded In
capturing him for good, he
hasn't found a trace Of real
humanneSS.
Without any conceit, No
knows that she might marry
him. He knows, too, that she
doesn't love him. He suspects
that she could never really
love anyone. So far as she Is
concerned, he thinks he has
gone far enough. And he is
wight. N
But It's another type Of girl
that I'm speaking of. The girl
who has a heart but won't admit
it. The girl who is bent on SEEM
ing hard.boiled, who's afraid Of
being thought sentimental and
old-fashioned, who believes that
the coldly sophisticated line is
the only one to adopt with men.

Mrs. "Laddie" Sanford carries
a fat muff with her mink coat

collar of Mrs. Albert Dewey's

although somewhat off the fur

swaths of black velvet that Mrs.
Dewey tied into Saucy bows at

Juice or your grapefruit juice
to supply this vitamin, squeeze
the fruit in the morning just
before you sit down to break

morning Is a bit Of a rush, to
squeeze the fruit in the evening
and let the juice stand all night.
This is a mistake. for in the in

Just one last word about Vita
min C; know there are those
who claim that it is Of great
value in stopping the decay Of
teeth. Although proof Of this Is
not as conclusive as it might be.
I thoroughly agree that 1t Is .
necessary part of a complete

in keeping teeth sound and

Perhaps I should warn
mothers, too, that milk, while o

The bidding:

MerWin Maier'S reSourceful final.
bid Of seven no-trump saved a Sit.
uation which his partner was not
clever enough to read To start at
the beginning, Mr.. Maier had q,
whale of a hand in support of his
partners opening tWo-spade bid. He
nrst made the mild response Of
three clubs and on the next round
jumped to six spades, inviting the.
grand slam. North was entirely
correct in contracting for seven
spades, but when the bidding re-
verted to West and that player
doubled. North should have sus-
pected that something was wrong.
Vests double could be based only
on a trick in clubs. If by some.
remote chance he held the ace noth-.
ing could be done about 1t. but it,
was far more likely that he was
void and could trump the opening
lead. Since the double of a slam.
contract calls for the lead of the.
first side suit bid by dummy, Vests,
double Of seven spades was a good
gamble. While he was fairly cer-
tain that his opponents could make
seven no-trump, he was sure that
without the double his partner
would not lead a club. And since
there was no other hope, West
doubled to get the club opening,
murmuring a prayer that seven
spades would not be rescued.
Studying the hand, Mr.. Maier
decided that in view of his own
plentiful array of high cards and
his partners terrific bidding, West
could be doubling only on a void
suit. Furthermore. it looked as
though there were enough high
cards in the combined hands to run
OF 13 tricks at no-trump and this
proved to be the case. Mr.. Maier
deserves plenty of credit for reading
Vests double and coming to the
rescue.
