There are beauty and romance in
every wOman's everyday dOings I
I'm going to illustrate that by re-
peating to you some of the questions
recently asked Of me by readers of
Beauty and Romance" The an
swers are quite obvious.
No woman can afford to be a
carbon-copy Of another woman. To
make yourself different, would you /:
Buy a jacket that is most unusual
even If it isn't flattering?
Wear black shoes with an other
wise white outfit?
Fashion your hair tightly to your
head when most are fluffing it?
Little Nervous Habits
Are you a shoulder-strap grabber,
a table-drummer, or a bracelet
fiddler? Small nervous habits can
be glamOur-robbers.
When you have a date to an i'm.
portant function with one man,
would you break it to go with the
"herO of the hour" If the hero
suddenly asks you?
Are your arOund-the-house clothes
neat, clean and tidy the same
as your street clothes?
What is your social speciality
Is it dancing, card-playing, tennis
hostess, being a good companion
If you haven't one, get busy and de
velOp one. We all need one spe
cialty, at least.
If you are with a group and eacf
orders a cocktail, but all you wan
is a soft drink :. . would you order
a cocktail or a soft drink?
Would you color your hair to re
turn its youthful sheen and beauty

or do nothing hoping that the
lighter, grayer streaks might add
dignity to your appearance?
Any Woman Can Be eIamorous
Any woman can be glamorous
who has a mind of her own, a little
confidence in herself and knows how
to use the right shade of cosmetics
and patrOnizes the right hairdresser.
Men always look twice at women
who know how to be women &.
who know the value Of daintiness,
the art Of conversation, the outs and
ms Of everyday social etiquette. Be
different, yes. But don't be too
nOticeably different! Be gay. But
don't be rowdy! Be Independent.
But don't be so independent that
you are a wallhOwer!
And here is my final question: If
a new girl comes to town with a
ravishingly different hair style,
should you rush to have your hair
styling copy hers, or should you
have your hairdresser create a new
style for you, or should you tenn
pOrarily at least continue with your
present hair style? Think real hard
and then do the latter and no
one can accuse you of being a copy
cat!

South was out for top score and
he thought that he would have
good chance for his slam, provided
(a a diamond was opened, and

Sure enough, West opened dia-
mond, but South experienced sink

simple subterfuge that could not
hurt and might possibly deceive his
opponents. After trumping the dia-
mond. declarer, led the club ten and
covered with the king from dummy.
His plan was to deceive East into
thinking that his partner held the
queen. While we claim that East
was very naive, it succeeded. East
won the trick with the club ace and
returned a club. Of course, South
then won all the rest of the tricks.
The heart return should have
been completely obvious, for If de-
clarer had held the ace, he would
simply have drawn trumps and run
of dummy's heart suit. In other
words, just plain common sense
should have told East that If South
had held the ace of hearts, he would
not have had to bother with the
