Not enough attentionp One way to get attention is to deserve 1t! Playing the piano you always have admirers.
 Not that the piano is hard to learn; 1t isn't. You can learn to play entertainingly with the aid of a keyboard chart that shows at a glance which keys to play for which music notes.
 So that from the very start you know how to read musicl And our diagram shows how you can play popular pieces without long hours of practice. Just simplify by playing the melody line with your right hand and with your left some easy harmonizing chords.
 Yes, those numbers below our melody line represent chords. Each number corresponds to a numbered key on your chart. Look at your chord numbers, then at your chart and play.
 You soon learn all the basic chords you need this way-and you know so many pieces that people think you've played for yearsl
 Our 24-page instruction book has tables of chords and full-size key board chart. Gives lessons in rhythm clements of music; has three pieces for practice.

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Several new books on contract bridge have been published recently. Today's hand Is from one of them, Handbook on the Theory and Play of Championship Contract Bridge" by Harold E. Simmelkjaer.
 This book advocates many bidding methods that are departure from the prevalent practice today. The author criticizes some slam con- ventions as inaccurate and in- efficient. He has a slam convention dependent upon e new point-count of his own.
 Simmelkjaer apparently favors regular" bidding as against even his own slam convention. He gives several examples of e hand bid to slam both ways, and when there is any difference, the regular bid- ding gets the better result.
 Certainly in today's hand the use of conventions might confuse the issue. North's jump to six no trump seems the simplest and best course. It happens that South can make seven no trump, He wins the open ing lead in dummy and takes a finesse of the jack of spades. Now,

WOMAN,S REALM
Deanna Durbin's Beauty Secret: Be Happy
BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

queried Deanna Durbin again about her beauty habits, as many of us have queried her often and in vain ~since she flashed upon the singing screen. And this time she answered.
 "First of all," she said, "my ap- pearance is a reflection of my feel- ings. I'm 19-in love-happily mar ried."
 There Deanna uttered clue to any girl who wants to shine now adayS when naturalness is the last word in defenSe-keyed glannor fashion. If you want to be beautiful, be happy. Your beau's or your hus- bands admiration will keep you sparkling. Of course that's chick en-and-egg thing. Usually, you have to get his eye before you get his heart, and afterward, too, you have to keep on catching his eye! DEANNA AND HUBBY
 EXERCISE TOGETHER
 Deanna is doubly fortunate here. Her bridegroom, Producer Vaughn Paul, is also a companion in beauty building. They love the outdoors. With him, Deanna walks, she rides horseback, she swirns.
 swimming is my No. 2 beauty measure" said Deanna. T swim-or, rather, we swim-every day, and outdoors, and far into the winter"
 A private swimming pool was the first real luxury she acquired. Now she and he are planning another outdoor swimming pool on the grounds of the low, rambling bun- galow which they expect to move into by Thanksgiving.
 DEANNA PRACTICES
 BEAUTY ARTS
 However, even ,Deanna, who came to the films with face and figure as startlingly young and shining as her purest vocal phrase, admits she has to look to her charms for her. self too. That's news. For years you couldn't get beans about Deanna's beauty routines; there was a little fiction that @ girl so genuinely young and beautiful would stay that way forever, without benefit of so much as a lipstick. But now that Deanna's a young matron and starr ring in her tenth staight hit, "1t Started With Eve" she talks right out, saying:
 "Every month have Q hot oil shampoo.
 T change my hair style constant- ly, because 1t gives the same stimu- lating effect that buying a new hat does.

American cheese makers are producing excellent Camembert, swiss, Erie, blue, Liederkranz and Cheeses of all types also will Joe available in normal quantities and the cocktail cream spreads include a blue type in addition to pine apple, pimiento and relish varie- ties. Plentiful supplies of Italian style and American-style grated cheese are also available for mar ketting in this country. Serve cheese often, with fruit, for des- geTt. It's economical.

 e. Is tweed or worSted more de- sirable for school clothes for a boy ten years old?
 A. Tweed, made of softly spun y..rns, is loosely woven and not par ticularly durable. It does not keep it's shape and may easily become snagged and torn. However, it mas an attractive texture, does not show spots readily, retains the original fuzzy finish, and does not become shiny even with hard wear. Worsted is tightly woven and durable. The unfinished worsteds have a slightly fuzzy surface which does not get shiny as quickly as the finished worSted, but both have a tendency to shine after they are worn. Both tailor well and retain their shape. Worsted suits seem to accept slen- derness and, therefore, are rot as desirable as tweed for thin, angular boyG

 Foundation cream is moro thaa Q face powder binder.
 If you've been thinking oil along that the only important function of a foundation cream or lotion is to make your powder cling to the skin, you can profit by little ex- perimenting.
 The schoolgirl look is more iEn- portant than ever this season, when every style-setting, opinion-making inlpresario of beauty is keyina everything to the cramn1ed schedule of the defense e-busied woman. So this is indeed the season to discover that a good foundation can hide fine lines and conceal enlarged pores until your treatments to conceal them begin to take effect. . A DRY-sKIN
 LOTION
 If your skin is dry, try one of the slightly moist, so-called films that come in all shades to match every complexion. Learn to blend, it smoothly and evenly. Apply cream rouge over 1t, of course, and when you powder, do so generously, press- ing quantities of 1t into the founda- ton. In a few minutes, brush oil the excess with a powder brush or clean piece of cotton. e9
 One of the outstanding foundat- ion-plus products actually is called dry skin lotion. This light, re- freshingly fragant liquid is offered for triple duty: to lubricate tha skin at night, to protect 1t by day, and to provide dewy-looking base to which powder will cling smoothly. The maker even suggests using 1t as hand lotion-a good idea if you can afford to, because it's fun- damentally designed as a lubricant and vanishes in trice.
 DRY ROUGE USEFUL
 IN STEAM-HEATED HOME
 If your skin is oily, one of the powdery . looking, rather then creamy lotions, may be satisfactory. Shake well before using and pat on with bit of cotton. Let the lotion dry before applying rouge. In dry, steam-heated rooms, dry rouge sometimes is better than cream on dry skins.
 Whichever type you choose, be sure 1t does match the tones ot your skin. If it's darlie.', the result may be streaked appearance. If it's lighter, you may find yourself really whitewashed.
