While it looks as though the five
club contract would be set, due to
the fact that West could ruff the
second round of hearts, some light
ning-fast thinking on the part of
South saved the day.
The opening lead of the king of
spades by West gave declarer a
chance for his brilliant play. After
winning with dummys ace he played
a trump and West, winning this
trick with the club ace, shifted to
his singleton queen of hearts. When
East won with the heart ace South
without an instant's hesitation
dropped the king! This of course
marked West with the remaining
heart $50 East thought, and he
naturally returned a spade. Now
since the diamond finesse worked,
the contract was made.
But let's revert to declarers re-
markable play. He knew that East's
shut-out bid of four hearts showed
at least seven of the suit and quite
possibly eight. If East held eight
hearts West would be able to ruff
the second round; if not, the play
OF the heart king would be wasted
But in either case East was almost
sure to return spade and try to
cash the setting trick And, since
the contract could not be made in
any event without the diamond
flnesse, South felt that it was we'll
worth while to risk being set an
' extra trick in order to provide this
one additional chance.

Tipping Scale
Individual
Problem
Average Amount
For a Traveller
Listed Below
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: ta) How much.
Should one tip the taxi driver if
the fare is less than a dollar, or
more than dollar? (b) Is the
rate to a "red cap' at the station
so much bag, and what is con-
sidered a fair amount for each bag?
'c) How much to the hotel bellboy
who carries your bags to your room?
Nd) How much should one tip the
man who comes up to hotel room
Tor dress or coat or a suit to be
pressed? (e) When checking out
snould one tip the maid who looks
after the room if no extra service
has been asked? And how much?
Answer; (a) 1t is unsatisfactory
to attempt to give a definite scale
OF tipping because except in very
lew instances. personal factors have
10 be taken into consideration. A
larger tip is expected from those
whose clothes are obviously ex-
penslve than from those who clothes
are obviously inexpensive. In
new York tand therefore probably
elseWherep average amounts are:
FIVE cents for any fare between
Is cents and so cents; 10 cents for a
fare anywhere from so cents to q
dollar; and Is cents from a dollar
TO dollar and half. and above
that it would be straight 10 per
cent rate. tb) This is one of the
paS-for-luxury examples. Twenty
f1Ve cents is the least that can be
given, whether for a single piece. or
two, OF super-smart luggage. The
average well-dressed person with
good. but not conspicuously ex-
pensive bags, gives 10 cents a bag or
if there are three pieces that are
light 25 cents would be enough.
II the bags are very heavy then YOU
would tip about 25 cents for two
pieces and 35 cents for three. The
distance they have to be carried
would have to be considered of
course. (c) Same, or a little more
than to "red cap" Ten cents for
very plain suitcase; Is cents for
smart bag or two; 10 cents each for
three or four bags; so cents top for
no matter how many or what their
quality. Cd Nothing if man is the
valet or from the tailor because the
charge is put on your bill. Ten
cents to bell boy. (e) Many people
forget the chambermaid, probably
because "out of sight out of mind"
She should be given 25 cents a night
or a little less per night for a long
stay. That is, so cents for three
nights and dollar week.

Dear Mrs. Post: When guests in
our house lose money to us at card
games should we take their money?
Doesn't the fact that we are hosts
make it seem inhospitable for us to
consider their card debts seriously?
AnSWer-If you always play for
money you must continue to play for
it; if you don't you don't. I mean. If
you object to taking money in your
own house, then the answer is, fill
the tables without counting your
selves when those, who are expected
always play for money. You can't
ask them to carry you. nor in any
way ask them to change their Gus
tomary habits.

Use Makeup
If Young
Cosmetics Should
Be Reserved for
Gala Parties
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

1t is ever so-we are always in a
hurry to grow up. And when we
are grown up we do everything
under the sun to keep young! So if
I say, Take your time to grow up,
young lady, and enjoy your youth, "
know the advice will not be needed.
Children of three and four want
to wear high heels and use lip
stick. They ape their elders. Girls
in their teens are likely to rush too
soon to beauty salons to have their
hair done and their skin pampered
If they would only take my ad-
vice they would learn to care for
their skin and hair at home, and not
go near a beauty parlor until they
reach the age of % or %. That is
if their skin and hair are normal
and do not require specialized cor
rective work.
A healthy head of hair, brushed
to sheen, and clean, is lovely to
look at, even if it is as straight as
a poker! I approve of permanent
waves-but not for the very young
girl. They should let the true beauty
of their hair dramatic their youth.
Any person can get a permanent
wave, but not every person can have
a lovely head of hair with a natural
sheen and possibly the indication
of natural wave or curl.
Veorc uril1 scor,,o u,l,a,, 1,o,, will
rely on permanent for your nair
beauty-you don't need to while you
are young! A grand hair brush. a
reliable liquid shampoo and a few
curriers' are all young normal girl
requires for her hair care. On very
special, special occasions she might
have setting at salon.
Too frequently in cities you see
a young face made up too blatantly.
Thick coating of lipstick in hard
color, too light powder and rouge,
and heavily made-up eyes make the
little lady look UNNATURAL! That
girl tried to grow up too quickly.
She wears hats that a woman of 30
would, her shoes are likely to be
fancy and her mannerisms artificial
or superficial.
Adolescent skin may require ex-
pert care to relieve it of blem-
ishes. Then certain skin treat
ments are vital. Or home care for
blemished skin is vital. But if your
skin is neither too dry nor too oily,
but lovely with the blush of youth
on it, be very happy! Be proud
that all you need Is bland soap for
cleansing, fluffy cleansing cream
if you live in city, and a touch of
makeup. Lipstick should be suf-
ficient makeup and 1 know we all
have the urge to enhance our cheek
coloring and to dramatize our eyes
a bit. But such indulgence should
be reserved for your very gala par
ties, where other young ladies and
young men pretend to be very
grown up! Your one colorful in
dulgence may be nail polish!
I'm no Grundy, youngsters, and I
know what I am talking about.
Keep yourself young. and sweet, and
lovable. Your life will be happier
in the end. You will have long, long
years of being old and wishing you
were sweet 16!

Complex
In Child
Fear of Correcting
Youngster Is a
Silly Notion
BY ANGELO PATRI.

The phrase, "inferiority complex, y
has been overworked and much mis-
understood. Nowadays one must not
criticize child manners, clothes,
dress, anything, lest he be given"
an inferiority complex. The notion
is silly Children are growing their
personalities through experiences
with people and things that concern
them. They have to learn their
weaknesses as we'll as their strengths.
II faults are not pointed out, if con-
structive criticisms are not made,
the child has no notion of his
actual standing. 1t is the duty of
teachers and parents to correct
faults, strengthen weaknesses, pro-
mote success whenever and wherever
possible so that the children may
learn and grow. This fear of cor
recting children's mistakes is a
shocking state of affairs because
the children are the sufferers
One of the worst instances that
has come to my attention is the
statement mother made to another
mother. IF you buy Jack a piano
I shall buy my Frank one. l have
made up my mind that he shall
have everything any boy in town
gets so that he will never suffer
from inferiority complex" And she
bought the piano, although her son
had not the slightest use for it.
Buying things for children to
keep up" CLOSING over their faults,
pretending that they are what they
are not, lodging the experiences
they ought to face. will never give
them courage to live bravely and
therefore successfully. If they are
taught that things add to their
power and prestige, that a front of
any sort, insincerity and pretense
of any kind, will give them place
and prestige, they are taught an
untruth that will cost them dearly
Let children be sincere with them
selves, with each other and with
their parents. Teach them to look
squarely at themselves and try to
see what power they have to culti-
vate, what weaknesses they have
to strengthen and help them to
those goals. Facing a fact with
hope and determination never gave
child a feeling of inferiority vet
Quite to the contrary, it gives him
power to succeed in overcoming diff
ficulty the only way he can ever
hope to get anywhere.
The parent who fears to correct
a child lest he make him feel in
ferior is more likely to be suffering
from an inferiority feeling than his
child is. The child feels himself
perfect. Hasn't father or mother
told him so by their treatment of
him? OF course, father and mother
know that their child is making a
mistake, but they fear to correct
him. If they felt strong and secure
in their beliefs they would have
enough faith in themselves to teach
them to their child.
Look we'll at any such idea if it
rises between you and the children.
Be anxious concerning your own
strength. Build that up first and
then deal with the child. You
cannot teach what you do not be-
lieve. According to your faith the
children grow strong or decline into
weakness. Leave the "inferiority
complex" to the expert psychologist
and get down to facing the facts
as they are with the children and
everybody will be the better for it.

extensive motor trip. What, they
demand, shall we take to the
fairs? It's real problem this
business of taking sufficient and
practical clothes on your vacation,
so we're going to devote a few
columns to what we trust will be
helpful suggestions.
You must remember that your
choice of wardrobe depends upon
three vital points. /, the type of
place you will visit and the activities
there; 2, the type of person you
are, whether young or more mature,
stout or thin, tailored or fussy,
and 3, the amount of travelling
necessary to reach your destina-
ton. Since the favorite vacation
is at the beach or seashore, let's
look at the absolute requirements
for a two-week stay.
We will assume that the resort
you select is typical of the majority.
You will stay at a small hotel,
spend the best part of the day
In some active sport and at night
attend the country club or hotel
dance. We will further assume that
you are of average build and like
the smartest and most outstanding
fashions. Undoubtedly your sport
clothes will be of most Importance,
for you will spend your days being
casual with studied nonchalance,
so the list of sport clothes may
be something like this:
Bathing suits. You'll probably
want two, although one good one
will see you through an ordinary
amount of water activity. The
dressmaker or nodded suits are fine
and should be selected with an eye
to how we'll your figure may be
revealed. The former is for not
too-perfect builds, the latter for the
girl who boasts perfect 36" LasteX
and sharkskin are the favored fab
RIGS, although you will find jersey
and printed cottons going strong.
Beach robes. You may choose
either an all-enveloping robe, usually
of terry cloth. or shorter, very
perky jacket that will just cover
your suit. Many of the girls are
choosing brief, sweaterlike chenille
Jackets, many of them in a wind
breaker effect. These are mex
pensive and very smart. Some of
the better suits have matching short
coats, but, at any rate, beach
robe of some sort is necessary.
Stacks. Only one caution here.
Be sure that they fit we'll and don't
sacrifice tailoring for price. Over
alls are good choice, too. You'll
probably need only about one pair
of these, for you may find slacks
warm and shorts more comfortable.
Shorts. Four or five pairs, be-
