 Nassau Most smartly dressed debutante in Nassau at the moment is dark -haired Brenda Frazier, from whom no other debutante has been able to grab away the title NO. l Glamor Girl"
 With her long bob as long as ever (the ends of her hair touch her shoulder blades), lipstick and nall polish darker than ever ttheyre deep, oxblood shade) and plenty or powder but almost no rouge on her small, doll-like face, Brenda goes everywhere in the simplest, smartest clothes we've seen on any dep. DIGNITY, NOT
 NONCHALANCE
 She appears late every afternoon in the Palm Garden or the cocktal! bar at the British Colonial Hotel in impeccably tailored slack suits which she wears with dignity rather than non -chalance.
 She went to the professional ten his matches, to watch Alice Marble. Mary Hardwick, Donald Budge ana William Tilden play before the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and rec ord crowd of topflight socialites, in navy wool gabardine slacks, simple white silk shirt, red and white pol ka dotted tie and scarlet wool gab- ardine jacket, worn casually over her shoulders.
 The pretty. black -haired Brenda went to fish drag picnic, at which 200 of the socially prominent Brit iSh and American residents of Nas- sau netted their own fish, then cook ed and ate them on the beach, in an all red slacks suit.

Gay Victorian FOOtstOOl
 From LOwly CakebOards

A delightful Cverstuffed foot stool for your favorite chairl No one could suspect you'd made it with cake boards and doorstops!
 So perky it looks covered with lowered chintz and finished with a little frill Or, if you'd rather be modern than Victorian, use black sateen and fringe.
 Glue between your two cake boards four wooden blocks-equal distances apart. Cover with a heavy weight when the glue gets tacky. Next morning, screw underneath the blocks four doorstops for legs, and paint them to match your color scheme.
 And now for the fun of stuffing and covering your footstool. Cut a fat circle of cotton batting the same size as the footstool and then another still smaller. Place the smallest circle on the stool first, finish with the largest.
 Next cover batting with a circle of fabric large enough to be tackled to the bottom board. Take up full- ness with small pleats and tack down firmly, finishing with the pretty frill.
 Exact details of making thls charming footstoll are described in our 32-page booklet. Also tells simple. inexpensive ways to make attractive screens, smoking sets, other decorative objects.

The other day l spoke Of the
Chinese finding pleasure in noise.
They like flrecrackers and explode
them in vast numbers on holidays.
They do not seem to mind the creak-
ing of wheelbarrows.
Phonographs and radios have
found their way into China to some
extent. Their owners may keep
them going at any hour OF the day
or night. Not many persons COM
plain about this; the general idea
seems to be that the more music
and noise the better.
In one case Chinese citizen did
complain to the police about a noisy
phonograph. There was a court
trial.
II have been bothered" said the
man who complained, because this
phonograph is being played all the
time. I wouldn't mind except that
one record, Rainbow on the River,
is played over and over again"
II find you guilty" said the judge
to the one who owned the phono-
graph. You must pay fine, but
will give back the amount of the
fine if you will use it to buy new
records for your machine"
Laborers in China are known as

but seldom earn more than enough

West opened the queen of dla-
monds, South winning with the ace.
South then led the queen of spades
for a finesse, and East won with
the spade king East then thought
briefy-very briefy-and executed a
neat sWindle by returning the queen
of hearts.
Before we see what happened, let's
examine the reasons for EaSt's lead.
The opening lead had told him that
South had both the ace and king
of diamonds; West could not have
the diamond king, for if he had held
1t he would have led the king rather
than the queen of diamonds. The
defense could obviously win no club
tricks, nor any further trump tricks.
The contract could be set, therefore,
only if three Aheart tricks could be
won. Those tricks could be won if
West had both ace and king Of
hearts unlikely in view of the bid
ding and Vests opening lead) or
If West had the ace and jack-pro-
vided South guessed wrong.
Now for what happened. South
thought, reasonably enough, that
East had led from the queen-jack
of hearts. If that were the case,
it would be fatal to play the king,
for West would take the ace and
return the suit through dummy's
ten. and South would lose three heart
tricks. But if East had the jack of
hearts as we'll as the queen, South
could make his contract by playing
a low heart. For then if East con-

Answer-Pass. You can probably
beat two spades about a trick or so,
but that is not a real certainty If
the diamond ace is behind you.
You may not do well, furthermore,
against three diamonds: and that

pay big dividends if the opponents
