. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Blind Expert Plays Fine Defensive Game in Asheve Match
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

I had the pleasure of taking J. Patrick Dunne, the blind bridge player from Miami. Fla, to the Asheville tournament with us. Pat spent the summer in Richmond, Va, where he joined us. At Ashe- vile he played in the mixed pair championship with Mrs. McKenney.
 Pat lost his eyesight in a hunting accident about l6 years ago. He uses braille cards and plays an ex- ceptionally fine game. It was the first time that Mrs. McKenney and he had played together. There were 76 pairs in the event and they fin- ished fifth. The winners were Mrs. J. E. Folline of Ricmond and Ben o. Johnson of Spartanburg, s. 0.
 Seldom if ever will Pat lose a trick on defense. Mrs. McKenney gave me today's hand. which was played in the championship game at Asheville.
 Declarer won the first trick with the ace of hearts and returned the suit. Dunne. sitting South, was forced in the lead. and from now on he had exit trouble. The way he solved it was remarkable. He bee gan with the nine of spades, won by Vests ten.

would up and leave him. Then the boss would realize just what he had lost.
 There is something admirable in that kind of feminine reaction but 1t usually isn't very bright.
 It encourages man either to go on with his job feeling that he is being walked on, or 1t gets him keyed up enough to throw up the job just to show old so-and-so.
 And the man probably can't af- ford to indulge in either method of nursing his pride.
 It might be, and probably is, very important to that family that its head find a more sensible solution to the problem. A woman should control her resentment and help him find 1t.
 TAKING LONG RANGE POINT OF VIEW
 First she ought to realize that when two persons don't get along it is seldom the fault of just one of them. So she should try to see if her husband isn't being too touchy, or if he isn't childishly expecting

GloriWng Yourself
Ry Alicla HaEt
MIA service staff Writer

You've eaten less, exercised more till your figure IS just right for the slenderly rounded clothes of autumn.
 You've brushed your hair night- ly till it's perfectly ready to receive your new permanent.
 Your skin is smooth, too. Yet in spite of all this you don't feel really enthusiastic about the lovely clothes you've been looking at in your favorite shops--you sort of wonder what's up with you.
 Maybe you need 6 surprise, Q change, something interesting. Business men get them often in the regular course of their work, and so do business and professional women. And they show an imrne" diate, specific reaction which detl- nitely enhances them.
 Yesterday, for instance, I met a business woman who'd just gotten an assignment to go around the country on a five-week tour. She glowedl She was excited about everything, including the additional work before her.
 But you can't get such tonic.
 Then, try a new hobby. It will freeshen your outlook on life in general. Scoff if you like, but take a good look at the woman who quietly pursues an interest of her own, be 1t needlepoint, music, poetry, reading.
 FINDING HOBBY
 IN EXERCISE
 You can make 6 hobby of just reading your newspaper every day really reading 1t instead of skipping from headline to headline. Or, for one month, you might try getting eight hours sleep every single night and walking a mile in the morning. It sounds strenuous? But undoubtedly 1t will wake you up. For curing lethargy, there's nothing like a good stiff regimen of resting by night and keeping body and mind active by day.
 Now there's the big defense pro- gram, wherein you can find Q "hobby"-such as knitting for sol- diers. canning vegetables, teaching children to get more fun out of their play-which will serve q real need in D. s. preparedness. If you don't think that will glorify you by bolstering your ego and taking your mind off the petty personal problems that wear you down, try It!

 Answer--Both methods are em- ployed you are both right. For in- stance just enough a11esthetic may be given to take the edge of from the first stage pain and gain the patients complete cooperation. Then when the second stage begins (delivery) the patient may be fully anesthetized so that she neither feels nof knows nor remembers any, thing until she comes out of anes- thesia after the baby is born. Or atnnesic drugs may be administered which render the patient indifferent, only just conscious of pain but for- getful of it as soon as 1t is over. Such drugs are not so readily controlled as anesthetics are.

more praise or more credit for what he does than one is likely to get in the business world.
 If so, she should gently but firmly make her husband see the situation honestly. It won't draw him as close to her at the moment as would blaming the boss for everything and calling him names-but 1t will make for 8 better solution of his prob. lem in the end.
 Even if her calm judgment tells her that the boss is really at fault, a wife should go easy on en- couraging resentment against him in her husbands mind.
 Maybe the family can't afford for Papa to risk his job at the present moment-or maybe, taking a long range view of the situation, 1t is important to the mans future that he make the best of an un. pleasant situation for a time.
 If either of those things is true, a wife should be careful not to increase her husbands discontent but should say, of course, it's a bad situation but 1t looks as though for the time being you'll have to put up with 1t. But we'll do everything in our power to make the time as short as pos sible."
 And then, being e good wife, she'll see that her husbands home life is as happy as possible and that whatever beating his pride takes at work, he'll be al- lowed to feel like head man around his house.

on 1-S cup per person. Use a large, firm table for your buffet, small tables about your living room.
 BUFFET HOSTESS HINTS
 1. When planning the arrange inent of your table, consider bal. ance and convenience of serving. Try to separate large dishes such as platters of turkey, assorted sal ads, and so on, with smaller dishes containing felishes and lighter things.
 2. Keep one course on one side of the table. Allow one side for the main course, the other for the dessert course. This avoids traffic congestion as guests pass around.
 3. Have plates silver and nap kins in logical positions. See that large dinner plates are situated on the right of the main hot dish. which should occupy the end of the table opposite coffee service Be sure that napkins are near large plates, so each guest can help himself to Q plate and carry the napkin under 1t.
 4. Carry out the colors of your centerpiece flowers m the colors of your little after-dinner hints.

Britain Plans Fashion Invasion" Of The American Clothes Market
BY ROsETTE HARGROvE NEA Service Stan Correspondent


 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London. time next month, U-boats permitting, London's fash. ion belt is to stage the Battle of Styles. New York is to be the key invasion" point and the ultimate aim is to enter the arena of the super fashion . conscious North America market.
 Mayfair is not kidding itself that 1t can hold the position alone, but 1t does feel that 1t can con- tribute something worthwhile to style trends. The unexpected success of the government-spon- Sored collection which was sent to South America last April has done much to hearten the Lon- don creators and give them re- newed courage to tackle an even more exacting field.
 The group has been formed called "The Society of London Fashion Designers" which will co- ordinate all efforts. So far, there are six members, determined to do their level best to show that Lon don can give it" as well as "take It."
 They include Norman Hartnell (dreSS1naker to Queen Elizabeth); Peter Russell; Digby Morton Worth (who continues the tradition of the Paris house.; Blanca MoEca, and young, but up-and-comi1g Hardy AmieS,
 COLLECTION INCLUDES 300 MODELS IN ALL
 The Society of London Fashion Designers intends taking it's first collection to New York, as near to Nov. 25 as events will allow. It is comprised of some 300 models in all, each designer producing be- tween forty and sixty models.
 The plan at present is to stage three-day show in New York, of not more than 140 models; the first presentation to be to the press and then to New York's leading social, stage, and screen celebrities. From then on, each couturier will be available to prospective buyers, showing his or her entire collection separate ly.
 This scheme has been made pos- sible by the financial support of Great Brttain's textile interests, with the world-renowned British wool. cotton and rayon industries topping the list, followed by the silk and lace interests. The de. signers have undertaken to make the stipulated number of models in the fabrics given them by the man.

wHATIs THE USE or YAWNEN0s
 A reader (Nrrs. M.

Probably Mrs. B. had no uiterior motive in submitting her criticism at this particular moment, but 1t spells the day for me because I can't get to the green in time for the draw for this afternoons game now.
 This is yawning, Mrs. B.. ...".. see?
 Open wide, but not wide-more than one unhappy wight has dis- located the jaw in a too vigorous yawn--contrac the facial muscles and the muscles about the eyes almost or completely closing the eyes and perhaps pressing out a few tears from the tear sacs, and draw up the arms, close the fists and give all of the voluntary muscles a squeeze, at the same time taking a long, deep inspiration. Then let the overfllled chest deflate while you say "Urh- h-rh-rh-rh."
 A sigh is the same thing in a polite, repressed degree, but you don't say "Uhr-rh- -rh-rh" at the end of 8 sigh, you only mutter LAW, nuts" or perhaps just think some thing of the kind.
 If you are just weary or bored, you sigh: If you don't mind who knows 1t you yawn.
 Insufficient oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in the blood will cause signing Or yawnirg. Confine- ment In an overloaded. poorly ven. tilaSed room is a common cause of signing or yawi1ing. Let in a good draft or go out for & brisk walk or do some kind of active exercise, play or physical work to increase your absorption of oxygen and blow of your overload of carbon dioxide.
 Persons who are anemic are like- ly to sigh and yawr more than nor mai persons do.
 A person having a hein6frhage, for instance internal bleeding, may begin signing or yawning to a mo- ticeable degree.
 Those who have been badly trained in breathing--trained to un- natural and inefficient--a likely to suffer from the effects of shallow breathing--:too little oxygen in the blood-and to do more signing or yawning than normal folk do.
