SEEMED to Randy Bard that ne had
stepped back whole year when he en-
= tered the tiny foyer of Number Sixteen.
He took deep BREATH and punched the but
ton beneath the fourth maibox in the wall
The latch buzzed on the front door,
She was waiting in the open door of the
apartment when he climbed the last flight of
stairs Hello, Randy" She smiled, and any
one might have thought this was the begin
ming, instead of the end.
Hello, Jan -" He gave her the flowers
he'd bought at the corner.
She wasn't trying to make things easy for
him. She was wearing red dress and over it
the blue dirndl apron with the red trimming
- the one she'd found in that gift store the
last vacation they'd taken up in Woodstock
The way the tight bodice hugged and accen-
tuated the slender fullness of her figure, the
free play the short skirt gave her slim legs -
he'd never been able to decide whether that
apron made her look like a little girl trying to
be grown woman. or grown-up trying to
look like little girl. Jan had always been
somewhat of an enigma to him.
I'll put these in water" She seemed to
like the flowers.
'Asters and chrysanthemums, he wanted
to say, "the last flowers that bloom They
seemed appropriate"
But he didn't say it. He and Jan never had
been able to say the obvious things - things
the other should understand.
Jan turned and went through the living
room toward the kitchenette.
Randy hung his hat and coat in the closet
as he had done so many times, and followed
her into the familiar living ROOM Jan was
arranging the flowers on the gate-leg table,
set for two. There were the pictures on the
wall; the same old pieces of furniture they'd
found in musty antique stores The room was
full of memories that hurt -
Some bottles stood on the bookcase near
the ktchenette - and he had to smile. He
took his cue, and the bottles into the kitchen
cite and began mixing the cocktails. Jan
hadn't changed - she still set the signals and
let fellow guess what was expected of him.
She came in minute later and pulled down
the oven door to peek at the roast. That
kitchenette - it always had been crowded
with two people in it - but it was nice to feel
crowded again. Her shoulder logged against

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There is a little country which we
might fancy we could wrap up and
put in our vest pocket. At least that
is about the way it looks on most
maps of Central America.
The country is named Costa Rica.
It contains 5000 square miles, and
is more than half the size of Cuba.
On one side of Costa Rica is the
Republic of Panama. On the other
side is another republic-Nicaragua.
There are mountains in Costa
Rica and that is a good thing. The
nation is so far down in the Torrid
Zone that the people would suffer
greatly from the heat if the land
were all low.
As it is, there is some low land
along both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. The climate is far too hot
in those places, and people find
them not good for the health.
More than half million persons
live in Costa Rica. They are mainly
Indians of mixed Indian and Span
ish descent. The great majority
live in the high valleys amid the
mountains. There they find spring
like climate the year around.
Besides the Indians there are
some people of full-blooded Spanish
or German stock, as we'll as Negroes
and mulattoes who have moved in
from the West Indies.
The name Costa Rica" is Span

These Kind


This weeks slip O. the tongue;
"I like these kind of flowers" No.
Such words as kind, sort, type are
singular. Better say: like this
kind of flower.
Wrong: He is one of those kind
of men," Right: He is that kind of
man.
Wrong: ct read these type of
books" Right: T read this type of
book
Wrong: "I dislike those sort of
remarks" Right: dislike that sort
of remark.
From Peoria: Please distinguish
between INGENIOUS and INGEN-
UOUS. They have me all con-
fused.-H. L.
Answer: These words do appear
to be twins, but they are not even
kissing cousins. They are spelled
alike, save for the sixth letter, but
the strong resemblance is purely
accidental.
Ingenious means possessed of
genius; cleverness." The second syl-
liable rhymes with seen: in-JEEN-

Ingenious means frank; candid;
artless." The second syllable rhymes
with men: in-JEN-yoo-uss.

West opened the king Of spades,
and Mr.. Rapee won with the ace.
He then led low heart and sue
ceSsfully finessed dummy's jack. A
club finesse next lost to Vests king,
and the spade return forced South
to ruff. Now the six of hearts was
led, West played the seven, and
dummy f1neSsed the eight.
The reason for this deep finesse
was that if East could win the
trick, there would be only one trump
left out, and the trump ace could
pick that up whenever South wanted
to do so. And if East couldn't win
the trick, as was the case, the f1nesse
was necessary to avoid the loss of
two trump tricks. (West could have
made the play much harder for Mr..
Rapee by putting up the heart ten.
but played the low heart in the
hope that the trump ace would be
playedD
After winning the eight Of hearts,
Mr., Rapee abandoned trumpS, re-
turning to his hand with a club to
lead the ten of diamonds. East prop
the diamond ten held the trick. The
nine of diamonds was then fnessed,
and East took his king. East then
led the ten of clubs, removing South'S
last high club.
A trump lead at this point would
have lost the game for South, but
he carefully led his last diamond.

vent South FROM e-getting to dummy

Costa Ricu Has Highest Geysel

have produced large amounts OF rich
gold ore.
Among the Indians of Costa Rica,
are a few thousand who belong to
tribes which never were conquered
by the Spaniards. They took to the
mountains and defended themselves
so well that efforts to defeat them
were given up.
Among the sights of Costa Rica
is one of the most amazing geySers
in the world. It rises from the
crater of the Poas Volcano.
The eruptions of this geyser take
place many times a day. Usually
they occur from II to 80 minutes
apart.
Not all of the eruptions are high.
Some rise only IS or 20 feet. Others
are far more powerful, and the hot
water rises 900 feet or more above
the ground.

Tennis Plans Curb
For On The Cuff
Meet Players
Homes as Well as Clubs
To Go in Guest Rule;
Gift Bon Extended
By the Associated Press.

HS the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8.-The United
States Lawn Tennis Association held
its annual meeting today with some
of the most important tennis legiSla-
ton in years scheduled to be pre-
sented TO the deleagteS.
A proposed change in the bylaws
already approved by the influential
Eastern Association, would remove
from the books the "eightWeekS
rule under which amateurs are al
lowed to compete with their eX-
penses paid and substitutes much
stricter ruling In addition, the new
rule provides an absolute ban
against connections with firms
manufacturing or selling tennis
equipment and limits the amount Of
free equipment player may ac-
cept.
The new time limit would allow a
PLAYER to compete y weeks each
year ION the cuff" but it makes no
exceptions of sectional champion
ships or of tournaments at which the
player is guest al private home in
stead of at the expense of the host
club
The delegates also will pass upon
the national rankings, award the
1s41 championship tournaments and
elect the same slate Of officers as
they did year ago.
