the body of an athlete, overdevel-

Stephen McCormick's frame was

that was, Gail supposed, because
he'd recently been wounded. sick
and hungry. She thought he would
probably look very different when
he was back to normal.
Burkc's face was square, and al
ways tanned-by the sun in the
summer; by lamps in the winter.
Steve Mccormick had Il narrow
face, with a prematurely lined fore
head. yet the intensity of his eX-
preston made him seem colorful.

quietly, without saying a word.
Gail decided it was nice to have
him here.
He looked around, taking in the

and white striped material, the vase

Fashion

TOLOR and durability are

improved plastic fabric, inn
portant because Of its dur
ability, stability, texture,
waterproofneSs and color
possibilities, Is used to make
the new shoes. The plastic
is used in combination with
leather, adding color to
soles, bows and other dec

say the makers. To keep it
shiny and new looking, all
you need do is wipe the
shoe with a damp cloth.
Manufacturers of the plas-
tic shoe fabric report that
soles made of the material
can be =eXpeetedIin certain
classes of shoes, to outlaSt
any other soling material.
And besides wearing longer,
the plastic soleS are light in
weight and are supposed to
make walking easier. They
are waterproof and will not
slip readily on water-wet
surfaces. They will not mar
floors.
Some of the new plastic
shoes will be available this
spring, but mass production
must wait till after the war
ends.

Hats for Spring

your hat will be worn
= on your head this spring.
No longer will you carry it
or leave it home. And no
wonder! Hat stylistS are
taking the coiffure into
consideration. So whether
you wear your hair in
braids, in coils, or in a
short page-boy, there'u be
a hat TO fit the head and
still become you.
And such an abundance
Of choice: there are sailors,
pillboXeS and flower bas-
ketS for the upswept hair
styles; and turbans, cloches,
bonnetS and beretS for the
loOSer styles.
The big hats with their
elaborate flowers, wells and
feathers, which flounced
upon the horizon last year
have stayed. Smaller YER
sions of this style have
come into prominence-and
both are definitely impor-
tant this spring.
Color also seems to be
here to stay. OF course,
flowered hats are bound TO
be colorful-and when you
wear the lovely pink pow
ders that lend radiance TO
your complexion, you'll
want a charming flower
decked hat to carry out the
youthful effect.
Straws of all kinds, and
especially corn-colored, are
rising to popularity now.

USING THE QUEEN FRS

ORDINARILY, if you have a
guarded queen opposite a guarded
ace, your best play is to take the
top card first and lead toward the
secondary one,- as that protects
you against losing to a singleton
king. The usual exception to this
is when the queen has only a sin
gle guard, when your normal
chance for a trick with it comes
from playing toward it on the first
round. There is o-e other excep-
ton, however. It Is better to lead
first toward even a doubly-guard-
ed queen if the c is required as
a later re-entry to the hand which

partly concealed by a mink coat,
darkly rich and lustrouS, the sort
of mink coat that lights a spark
