East made nice play in under
leading the ace of diamonds, and
Potts West won with the queen.
He returned a heart, declarer won
with the ace, played the queen of
clubs and took the finesse, which
lost to Potts king. Another heart
was played back, won in dummy
with king, and dummy's ace and
jack OF clubs were cashed, declarer
discarding the nine of hearts.
The next play was the deuce of
spades. Potts won with the queen
and returned a diamond, East win
ming with the ace.
At this point, Sheern (East) play
ed the high club and Potts made
the nice play of ruffing with the
spade ace. This, Of course, estab-
lished a trump trick for East, so the
defense won three trump tricks plus
two diamonds and o club, setting

suggests relaxation and rest ano
peace, while it blots out distract

distracting thoughts. Breathe deep
ly and quietly, slow, full, deer
breaths that reach all portions OF
your lungs. That also helps to re-
lax the body and to induce the
mood of peace.
Then, beginning with your toes
and continuing up to your face
pick out each set of muscles in sue
cession and tell them to relax
Concentrate your mind upon each
set of muscles until you feel the
tenseness go and limpness take its
place.
When you have thus taken each
set of muscles separately in that
fashion talk to your whole body.
Say: Let go-relax : rest!" Say it
several times, not vocally but
mentally. Then say: II am heavy:
my legs are heavy - my trunk is
heavy - my arms are heavy = my
head is heavy. My whole body is
heavy. Oh! how heavy I am"
After that say: Relaxation and
peace = quietness and confidence
power through repose."
Say the words mentally, and say
them slowly. Then consciously
open your whole being to the life
and vitality that enfold you con-
tinually, and draw them in. Take
at least 10 minutes for this twice
a day, and better still take Is.
Thus you help yourself to get
free from nervousness, irritability,
depression, fear, and other morbi-
f1c emotions, and at the same time
to get relief from your pains and
other physical symptoms, and to
build up in yourself new ability to
meet the challenge of life.

Lady landscapes, aJoke
40 Years Ago, Now Thrive
By NEA servloe

Groton, Mass.-Forty years age
girls wearing the 1900 version of
smocks and Stacks were looked at
askance, or smiled at with amused
tolerance, when, for the first time,
they marched, trowels in hand, to
design other peoples gardens.
Today, '1ady gardeners are no
longer called on merely to arrange
flowers in q vase, to advise politely
on the use of perennias in the
neighbours backyard.
Today they are lady landscap-
ers," and have learned how to sur
vey, grade road, drain swamp,
prune, ant and spray. They are
employed by real estate companies,
park departments, village schools
and just plain home-owners.
WOMAN WAS
PIONEER
Much of the present nationwide
interest in community garden devel-
opments, garden clubs and land
scape designing as business for
women is due to the foresight of
Mrs. Edward Gilchrist Low.
One year after Harvard Uniyer-
stty had opened the only school of
landscape architecture in America
for men only-MrS. Low founded a.
similar school, for women, at Gro
ton.
This month eighty-year-old Eliza
beth Hill, first graduate, stopped her
rambles with her nature study class
in Groton to help celebrate the for
tleth anniversary Of women,S en-
trance into the profession of land
Scape architecture.
At Lowthorpe, the rambling old
Colonial house in Groton, distin-
guished women landscape designers
from all parts of Canada and the
United States gathered to talk about
a profession which is one of the few
to offer girls an equal chance with
men to rise to the top.
THEY WORK
AROUND THE WORLD
! Graduates have scattered, not
only to the ends of the United
States, but have taken American
methods abroad. In Yokohoma,
Katherine Randall Boyce designed
the gardens around the American
consulate; last year Elizabeth Pat
tee, who hangs out her shingle in
Boston, flew down to Trinidad to de-
sign both house and the Landscape
ing around it; up in Toronto, Fran
ceS Mcleod, one of the founders of
the Canadian Society of Landscape
Architects, was called on to design
a garden for broadcasting station
in Toronto.
Cameras and notebooks are tools
the amateur must use before she
plants, Edith H. Henderson says. A
recent graduate of Lowthorpe, Miss
Henderson won a connection to de-
sign the 1andscaping for an impor-
| veAAAV A4OAAsAkAS ACtC4ONAAC~1U al q ouO-
division outside of Atlanta, Ga.
In common with other profess
sional landscape architects, whose
knowledge is based on three-year
graduate course, Miss Henderson be-
lieves the amateur profits most by
a first-hand study of gardens and
estates designed by top-notchers in
the field.
Importations of foreign trees,
shrubs, plants and flowers, new ar
rangement of ordinary material by
these designers, some of whom COM
mand price of 500 a day, help
the home-gardener to visualize
beauty spots she might never think
out for herself.
