When the bidding started off on this hand, I thought North and South would get to slam, but they managed to stop in time. West picked his best lead. and East led three rounds of trumps. South was left with two diamond losers. He cashed the top clubs but the suit failed to split. The ace of hearts picked up the king, and the ten Of hearts was led back, covered by the jack, and ruffed by South.
 While ;t was clear that heart trick could be established in dunn my. the problem was to get back there to make it. Declarer solved the problem neatly. He cashed the ace of diamonds, then ruffed 6 dia- mond with dummy's last trump. When the nine of hearts was led and covered. South discarded 8 dia- mond. East mad nothing left but hearts, so he himself had to return the suit to dummy's eight-spot, on which South got rid of his last dia- mOnd,

WOMAN,S REALM
GlOMing Yourself

In. this season every woman should shield her skin against the sudden changes and blasting winds of winter weather. The elements aggravate any tendency to dryness of the skin, and dryness renders young faces rough, older ones crepey.
 Chief need, besides regular and adeuuate cleansing, is to lubricate the surface of the skin and stimu- late 1t by massage. The massage picks up the circulation. The lubri- cant supplements natural oils which are produced by heathly skin glands to keep the surface soft and smooth.
 A Fifth Avenue house whose lotion is a standby with many women whose skins tend toward dryness, points out that it's in order for other women, too, to use an emollient nowadays. The fine smooth emulsion, not excessively greasy, makes a good foundation for makeup. It is excellent for hands, neck, elbows that dry, wrinkle, and grow grimy.

 Whenever you massage your face or throat or poth-and throatS de- serve more massage than they usually get--remember to use simple upward and outward movements. Begin at the base of the throat and sweep up and out toward the ears. Use light motion. taking care not to stretch the skin.
 Work from the chin up to the inner corner of the eye, up to the temple, and along the outer edge of the cheek to the temple. Shni- larly, massage the forehead, sweep ing up and out from between the eyebrows to the hairline.

QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS

Tn announcing that you were dis continuing the service of recom- mending to inquirers physicians skilled in certain methods of treat ment which you advocate, you sug- gested that those wishing to have tonsils extirpated by diathermy (electro-coagulation) inquire at the County Medical society as to physi- clans qualified to remove tonsils by this method (writeS physician who. from reports of many of his patients, enjoys great success in this modern method of dealing with infected tonsils).
 It would be astonishing If one of your readers were to follow your suggestion and inquire at the Coun- ty Medical society's office (by letter or telephone) and learn to any phy- sician or specialist who is qualified to give such treatment. Equally so if an inquirer so learned that any physician in the community is quail flied to give. the injection treatment for hernia, another method you have effectively advocated. I'll wager five pounds of your favorite smoking tobacco against a set of your Little Lessons in the Ways of Health that you can't name a coun- ty medical society anywhere that will officially inform an inquirer that any physician is qualified to administer such treatment.
 
 (............, M. D.
 No bet, Doctor. I can't. I'm sor- ry-I never thought of that when I announced that would no longer name physicians or specialists who give ambulant treatment, diather- my, etc.
 In the same mail with your let ter came one from a reader. The reader had followed my suggestion, inqiuring at the office of the County Medical society for the name and address of doctor skilled in injec- tion treatment of hernia. The read- CT was advised that the injection treatment is still in the experi- mental stage and has not so far proved safe or effective" That is virtually the advice I, or Doc Brady. gave readers of this column fifteen years ago or earlier.
