SKIERS REVEL IN
 FIRST SNOWFALL
Enjoyment of Long De. layed Pastime Follows
 Advent of Storm

Skiing came into its own yester- day as the years first snowfalul laid down a crystal blanket varying in depth from three to six inches. In Waterbury an dthroughout north- western Connecticut conditions for the sport, pronounced flair" to good" obtained.
 Scenes of skiing activity yesterday were the Chase Country club, the Waterbury Counry club and Fulton Park. A swarm of youngsters, es- timated at about 100. swooped down the inclines at Fulton park, and hundreds of other skiers used the snow-packed slopes of the country clubs.
 Local organizations devoted to the art of the gelandesprung and the christiana, went far afield to enjoy the sport. Twenty-four members of the Halt-a-League Sh club passed the day in Vermont, leaving Saturday night and return ing last night. Others visited Nor folk, Canaan, Salisbury, the Silver Streak ski tow in Winsted and the Waterbury Ski club her dforth on a nearby hill.
 Ice skating was temporarily brought to Q halt because of the &C., emulation of snow on ponds and rnnks. It is expected, however, that shoveling operations will restore the ice within few days.

. McKEkNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Brilliant Play Marks Leagues Benefit Tourney
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

One of the unique features of the "Have-a-Heart-Take-a-Hand" party in New York Is the rubber bridge tournament. The players enter and drew their opponents. Eight hands are played as in regular rubber bridge. At the end of the eight hands, the low pair Is eliminated and another round is started.
 One of the greatest rubber bridge players of all time was Mike Gott- Heb and evidently he has done a good job at teaching Mrs. Gottlieb, known in the theatrical world as Jane Winton. Here is a hand I saw her play during the Have-a-Heart elimination.
 Dummy played the Jack of clabs on the opening lead and East won with the queen. East led the heart, and Mrs. Gottlieb, sitting South, won with the ace. A spade lead was ducked by East dummy's queen wil1- ming. Then a low diamond lead to the jack fell to Vests king.
 West saw that to continue hearts would force an embarrassing dis- card from east. Returned a dia- mond and East's nine forced South's queen. South led the King of spades and again East held of.
 It was clear to Mrs. 0ottlieb that East held this ace, etse West would have led 8 second heart. It was also evident that East probably held [ double spade stopper. To continue spades now would be fatal for East

Eight fourth grade pupils from North school will be transport ed to old Woodtick school an the fourth and fifth grades in Wood- tick will be transferred to old Wood tick school.
 Some fourth and fifth grade pu- pills at Center school will be trans ferred to old Woodtick school, con- sideration being given to their res 1dence on or near the bus line. The old Woodtick school will house only fourth and fifth grades.
 New pupils are entering schools every few days so that the school enumeration changes daily. Mrs. Helen Finley has been engaged to teach at Old Woodtick school and Charles Myngheer will be janitor.

MORALE IN WARTIME

POPULAR MORALE IN WARTIME
 The number of "neuroses" (tech- ricaly neuroses are nervous diseases for which there Is no evident or ganic or structural cause or lesion but in this instance the term means nervous breakdown" whatever that may mean If not mental derange- ment in England has not increased as a result of the war. On the con- trary numerous British medical au- thorities have reported the frequen- cy of such complaints has diminished notably since the war began.
 One large social center" in Lon- don, Guys hospital, in a severely bombarded area, has had no increase in the proportion of psychiatric cases since the war began, and few cases of neurosis attributable to the war.
 Even in the R. A. F. nervous breakdown" appears to be conspicu- ously rare. AS psychiatrist of the air force expresses 1t, "In 30 years I have never been more idle than when serving (as psychiatric spe- cialist) in the Royal Air Force" A large hospital which had been estab- nShed for such cases in the R. A. F. remained empty so long that 1t was finally opened for general use.
 People in England have less time to think about minor personal troubles now. Women who were formerly, well, frankly, idle and con. cerned only to excel one another in matters of fashion, social distinction, and the like, now devote their thoughts and energies to useful work which will help to win the war. Like the men of the R. A. F., the women of England have put aside all petty. snobbish, class conscious strife and turned to with a noble inspiration to serve in tech- ntcal or purely mechanical capacity wherever and however they can help. Like the members of the R. A. F. they take pride in accomplish ing their assigned tasks, and this joy in being of some use in the world is the secret of the high morale that prevails in Britain. It is also the secret of the extraordinary freedom of the people there from "war psychoses" or war neuroses." !"
 In the green book Nerves and Nutrition" (copy for 25 cents if you provide stamped envelope bearing your address) the importance of DOING something is described and the reason for 1t is explained in de- tail. If there is a characteristic American weakness 1t is just this: Too many Americans hire things done for them, or pay to watch pro- fessional players or workers do the things they themselves should be doing. Too many Americans try to take their exercise, thrills and recre- ations vicariously. Spectators or fans when they should be playing the game themselves-some game. any game at all.
 It Is patriotic duty of those who cannot or do not now take &C., tive part either in military or some productive service at least to keep themselves physically fit, and one or another kind of daily exercise is essential for that. Physical fitness Is the foundation for good morale. Sedentary folk who have learned by personal experience how true this is need no urging to follow some suitable routine or daily setting up" discipline as health habit far more significant than bathing or brushing the teeth.

 Newest fashions in cultures stress wider waves, softer ones, fewer curls. Those are all as flattering to the mature woman as to her daugh- ters, SO they ought to have easy going. deciding on becoming 1922 hairdo.
 She should remember, of course, that wispy curlS or any sort of fluff near the face does not necessarily soften the natural lines of maturity, as was once supposed. They often emphasize them, whereas fairly simple, sleek 1neS-once considered severe-may in fact soften the lines of the face. The important point is the direction these smooth lines take. They can be used to balance or to emphasize the wearer's con- tours.
 Horizontal lines widen the head, so smart hairdressers avoid them when arranging cultures for the broad-faced. Wide, vertical and di- agonal waves are far more satisfac- tory because they lengthen the head and suggest an oval outline. SIMPLE RULES ARE EFFECTIVE
 Bangs and rolls over the forehead exaggerate a wide, fiat nose and flatten the profile. For too-small nose, hair should be drawn smooth ly backward from the forehead.
 A long face with large features looks well with a small roll of hair at one side of the forehead-this reduces the size of the nose and the severity of the contour. Flatness across the top is important, how ever, since topknot curls and prom padours add to the length of the face.
