DEMON DAUGHTER
BY Bernice FinneSan

This is the story of Demon
Daughter" Felicia - golden-haired
blue-eyed-who never lost her tenn
per except on purpose, who drama
tized her life and her beaux, and
who only wanted to be left alone
to work havoc wherever she went.
She resented deeply her mothers
attempts to make life easier for
her; she liked her roses and thorns.
Felicia in Gramercy Park, New
York, as the ring-leader of all the
children; in Connecticut determin-
ed to reform all the wild young
men; in England, first hating, then
loving the Old World and showing
the English lads that an American
girl could not be put upon, and fin
ally, in Brussels where she met and
married the right man.
The chronicle is doubly interest
ing because it is, in a sense, doub-
lie exposure; Mrs. Morrow tells her
story from the point of view of the
Demon Daughters mother, but be-
fore we're through we always get
Felicia's angle. We therefore have
an intimate and frank tale of an
American girl growing up today
told by her mother, with the novel,
lists eye for drama and suspense
It will in turn make your hail
stand on end, make you roar with
laughter, make your heart throt
with sympathy for two fine but
very different people trying to I'M
derstand each other.
There is, besides these two, the
father, a shrewd, kindly man, who
sits back and watches the strug-
gle with quiet amusement and ten
der sympathy and only on rare
occasions does he stick his oar in

The location of a proposed
amusement pavilion in the City

teapot tempest to rage in the city
the past week. The council had
passed an ordinance granting the
right to erect a pavilion in the

developed and wishing to incur no
ill-will of the public the project was
dropped and new location was
sought.
Cecil Lee, son OF F. C. Lee. sent
word that he had arrived in New
York from overseas.
The city water is a menace to
health and comfort. Decayed vege-

public to rise up as enc man pro-
testing over the conditions. Plans
have been made to improve the
system. and in the meantime the
Water, Light & Power Commission
has decided to furnish temporary
relief in the situation.

For some time South had been
afflicted with both bad cards and
partner trouble, and his sudden
Jump to six spades was a gesture
of protest against the malign fate
which had been pursuing him. For
once luck turned. and when West
opened a diamond, he was able to
fulfill his ambitious contract,
whereas any other lead would have
set him. The play was as follows:
Dummy's nine forced Easts king.
Declarer trumped, played the ace
of clubs, ruffed club and led the
queen of diamonds. East played
the ace, declarer trumped again,
ruffed another club in dummy, led
the jack of diamonds and discarded
his one heart, West ruffing. West
now led heart, but it was too late.
Declarer simply spread his hand.

The queen of hearts was opened.
How should you play the hand?
Answer: Your correct play after
winning the heart is to lead the
king of trumps. Your only possible
losing tricks are in trumps and your
problem Is to avoid losing more than
one trick in that suit. If the
opponent to your right shows out,
you play low to the ace in your own
hand and then lead up to the jack
nine: if the opponent to your left
shows out, you simply lead the jack
through your right-hand opponent.
Score 100 per cent for correct play,
80 per cent for leading to your own
hand, playing low trump and fin
essing the jack in the event that the
left-hand opponent follows (this
play is safe unless one of the oppo-
nents is able to trump i'm, for
playing low spade and going up
with the ace this play loses two
tricks and the contract if your
right-hand opponent holds all four
trumps).

nament will open August 81 on the

game and given rise to the thought
that here, at least. is finger who
may lower the colors of Clayton
(Boo) Henson, Virginia titleholder,
who this season has been virtually
unbeatable. In the Metropolitan
League Boo has won AZ straight
games. His victories in the
Virginia and Metropolitan District
sections of The Star tournament
over the year have been so monoto-
nous that conqueror would be
welcomed by many horseshoe fans
despite Boo's personal popularity.
Howrey. who halls from Kansas,
never has pitched in a major tour

will tell you that the down-and- out

which Flood scored three runs and
assumed the lead The play occurred
with men on first and second base
