A RTHUR T. WE'LL. chairman Of the
Games Committee of the Ma
tional Press Club, has announced that
at meeting of his committee decision
was reached to open the annual sea-
son tournament Of the club during
the second week after Labor Day.
Definite dates upon which the series
Of trophies offered by the club and its
friends will be made known later.
The regular sessions will be held on
alternate weeks.
The committee looked with disfavor
on the proposal to lift the ban on
member players who have master
points accredited to them under the
schedule of the American Contract
Bridge League. The clubs tourna-
ment is not An affiliate of the league
and the opinion was expressed that If
master point members were per-
club trophies, it would discourage the
participation of the run-of-the mill
club players who would feel that they
are not qualified to match their skill
against that OF experts, and that as
the games are for the social enjoy
ment Of the clubs members those
outside the club who are master play
ers should not be allowed to take part
in the contests. There will, however,
be no inhibition against those mem
bers of the club who hold master
points.

But If couple only discover after
marriage that their home must be
childless, certainly the only thing
for them to do is either to reconcile
themselves to the situation. or else
to adopt the baby fate has denied
them. Many persons do this and
seem to feel an affection for the
child as warm and satisfying as If
it were their own.
Unless either the man or the
woman has an actual obsession
about children. there is no reason
for them to be unhappy. Nor, as
a matter of fact, are they unhappy
as general thing On the contrary,
the old theory that children draw
a husband and wife closer together
does not always work out in real
life. In most cases 1t has the oppo-
site effect. Particularly are women
so likely to become absorbed in their
children that they lose interest in
their husands and cease to try to
make themselves attractive to them
or to amuse them.

first baby puts the fathers nose

The childless woman, having
nothing to mother but her hus-
band, devotes herself to spelling

and the childless father babies his
wife, and so all goes well. You will
find that most childless couples are

Eye Make>Up
Deliberate
This Year
Mascara Applied
To Light Lashes
Difficult Job.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Eye makeup this season, is de-
liberate. Particularly for gay par
ties in the evening. 1t is up to you
to dramatic your own eye beauty
by learning how and when to use
the gorgeous new shades Of shadow
and mascara, and by keeping your
eyes sparkling with vitality through
body health and daily eye hygiene!
Because this seems to be a purple
season, new and exciting purplish
shadows and mascaras have made
their appearance. so that you may
be one startling symphony Of color
beneath the mazda rays!
Plum, red. deep red tones with
blue undertones do much to turn
other eyes your way when worn with
the rich wine shades. When you
wear other colors you have a riotous
palette of browns, and grays. and
greens, and blues with which to
experiment.
Your brows should have a natural
arch. with only the straggler hairs
plucked. Extend this arch by draw
ing tiny hair-like lines with the
sharpened point of a not too soft
brow pencil. Keep them lustrous
by applying a spec of vaSeline, or
brow pomade, over their coloring.
And with your thumb and fore
finger, pinch them into sleek forma-
ton. A good brushing daily helps
to keep them ruly.
Eyeshadow is meant to accent
either the depth and coloring of
your eyes on the color of your gown.
II you are young and look quite
ravishing in more delicate hues,
then dramatize your dainty, appeal
ing self. Perhaps oil on your lids
will be sufficient to get languorous
effect, but, if not, select a color to
enhance the color of your eyes
the cooler shades of blue, green and
gray for light eyes, or warmer tones
for brown and hazel eyes.
But experiment with various
shades.
You may find, for instance. that
a certain shade of green will add
great depth to hazel eyes, and silver
purple can make a cool blue eye
twinkle with mischief!
But if you wish to dramatize
the color you are wearing, then
choose a shadow, with matching
mascara, which will do just that.
Then learn how to use it. Never
put shadow too near the bridge
of your nose, and blend it with
finger tips from the roots of your
lashes to no color at all up near
your brow! Some women like to
coat the shadow with just a touch
of vaSeline so it will glisten through
out the night!
If your eyes are widely spaced,
end the shadow at their corners.
If they are closely set, extend the
shadow out toward your temple.
Mascara must be as artfully ap-
piled as shadow. It can make your
eyes look hard, or 50 softly limpid
that he will want to gaze and gaze
into them!
Girls with light lashes have q
more difficult mascara problem than
those with dark. They might find
that a warm brown is required as
foundation, with only the very tips
accented by one of the newer colors.
Black tends to give a dyed effect,
which is anything but becoming.
OF course. all this eye decoration
will add nothing to your night
beauty unless your skin and hair
are meticulously groomed!
