Beauties Hints Screen Star Capitalizes Bad Features
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

My mouth is large, my teeth are irregular, my eyebrows are crooked, and my hair is streaked," says blonde-maned Lauren Bacall, new est sensation of the screen, whose admission should hearten girls who think they're licked by non-con- forming features.
 What might be considered faults are turned into compelling vir- tues by this high-voltage charmer. Bright red lipstick points up her generous mouth. Instead of hid ing sunstreaks in hair by devious coif, she wears a long flowing bob to play up two-toned colors. Eye brows which might be tanned with tweezers or pencil markings remain natural and add their fascinating quirks to tilted green eyes.
 Like Lauren, you can wear ir- regular features as badge of dis tinction; put premium on indi- viduality by refusing to be car bol copy of somebody else.
 Because she dared to walk. talk. dress and act for the camera as naturally as if there had been no lens to face, this former fashion model zoomed to stardom in one picture-'To Have and Have Not" and has won fame, while many pictorially perfect girls in Holly

often because the furniture is really falling apart.
 And they go to beauty salons because they cant wash their hair themselves.
 And they give parties because they are devotH friends of all the guests and thoroughly enjoy their company.
 so THEY SAY
 And they discard last years suit because it is really "an old rag"
 And they miss nylons because they were so nice and warm.
 And they read best sellers because they are really the best books.
 And they buy things they don't need because they are such bar gains"
 And they just happen to discover the very day they see suit or dress that takes their fancy that they haven't a thing to wear.
 Sure, sure. Women understand all about the warmth of mink.

, McKENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

Whenever a reptrter at a bridge tournament needs good hand for a story he goes to Bill HuSke. Bill has been writing bridge for 20 years and is always associated with the publicity department of tourna- ment.
 The other day said to Bill, T need bridge hand but I would like one about Bill Huske." thought it was about time we write up the old maetro himself He tells me this is 8 hand I played with him years ago and he thinks it one of the most interesting ones he ever played.
 He played low on the opening diamond and when East covered with the same spot, he trumped. Now he led a small trump to dunn my's king and played the nine of clubs. East refused to cover so he took the flneSSe and West won with the ace. West returned another dia- mond, the pack was played. East covered with the queen, and Huske ruffed with the ten spot. He then caShed the ace of spades, his last trump and led the four of hearts West ruffled with the jack and re- turned diamond. Huske won this with the ace and played another club, finessing against the queen.
 Now the only other trick that West could win was his high trump Thus Huske made his contract of four doubled.

That had been year ago. Mei-whan still

of it no more. But it meant more to her than
all the things in the world. Bei-ling had said
she was dreaming. All else is dream, rather,

With little sigh she turned from the win

dressing mat lay her mirror of polished brass.
Lifting this and dropping swiftly to her knees,
she looked at her reflection. At sight OF her
nale oval face, the delicately arched brows
and sweet, vet not too full lips the thought
came fleetingly to her that perhaps he might
love her indeed.
But no. That was wrong. Her dream OF love
meant more than pretty face and body
