WE, THE WOMEN
THE WONIEN- Game Of "WhOu Succeed" Makes Teaching More Fun

1 ject over and over, year after year.
 The game is, of course, laying pri- vate bets on which students are likely to become important citizens in another thirty or forty years; which ones will remember old school friends when they do reach positions of importance; and which ones will remember their teachers with affection.
 AIDS TEACHERS
 A game like that ought to make school teaching infinitely more fun. In democracy We realize that any mothers son has a chance to be- come president. But high school or grade school teacher-with all the hundreds of students she helps to educate-has an even better chance of having one of "her boys" become famous.
 And the ones who make the grade aren't always the ones a teacher would expect to go far. That is what ought to make the game more exciting than betting on . horse racR.

Anchor Straps
 With Loops
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

It's legitimate for ONE set of lingerie straps to show through a transparent blouse or lacy dress top, but if there are more that fall apart and make peep-show, they should be lined up with lingerie loops sewed into the shoulders of every peek-a-boo top garment that you wear
 The preferred choice of finicky gals-we're not saying this is neces- sary but we know the effect is nice is to use shell-pink straps, which look more like flesh than lingerie, geneath this seasons sheer tops.
 One girl know who thinks that straps should never be obvious underneath sheers replaces the solid ribbons on slips and bras with flesh colored net, ninon and other filmy fabrics.
 Halter-styled sur-fun clothes which bare back need to be worn with low-out evening bras or better still-with an uplift especially built in so that straps don't show.

But South was correct in assum- ing that 1t was better to try for the five heart contract If he could make that he would get $50 points, against 100 points the other way
 On the opening lead, North played the five spot from dummy and East refused to go in with the king or even the eight spot. He put on the deuce. When the five of dia- monds held the trick, the six of hearts was led from dummy and again East played 8 small card, the deuce of hearts.
 West won this trick with the ace and now there was not much doubt in his mind but what his partner was asking him to shift to club. He did not make the mistake of leading the king of clubs, however, he did protect the hand by leading the queen of clubs.
 East overlook the trick with the ace and returned a diamond, git- ing his partner a ruff and setting the contract.
