TT was Randall who got up to help \ and behind his back Peg raised a questioning eyebrow at Mac.

 PeE rebuked Mac in Q low but purposeful voice.
 "You know MagS sensitive, Mael ft was bad enough for you to walk out on her but Co drag Randall along was the finishing touch Kitty, if I sound like a shrew it's because I know Mag will be hop. ping"
 II hardly blame her." said Kitty, mildly amused by Pegs intensity, Tt seems Co me I met her here one time, Peg. Wasn't she the one with oil the heavy silver jewelry and the red hair and the dark lookp"
 Mac told her she'd hit the nail on the head, or rather Mag.
 Peg had seldom felt more ul- easy than she did for the next ten minutes. The combination of vis. uallzing Nag Seaton's probable state of mind and watching the evident and increasing pleasure both Randall Seaton and Mac were taking in Kitty's company started Pegs apprehension growing and blooming at the rate of gigantic able retribution for Ben if he obtiisely suggested another drink and prolonged the unexpected visi- tation but Randall Seaton relieved her mind by rising regretfully and telling Mac he thought he'd better be moving.
 "T hope" said Kitty when the door had closed on the welcoming committee, that they aren't really going to catch it for playing hooky.'
 Peg said with more confidence than she felt that probably they wouldn't. Although" she added some day something is going to catch up with MacI"
 Kitty yawned. Hes amusing, she said. "1s he a .heel2"
 No" said Ben. He thought it over minute and added, Not exactly"

DEAR MARY HAWoRTTf: I

DEAR MARY HAWoRTT1: I am teen-aee girl and my problem concerns my best girl friend and myself. In some ways she Is ex- tremely loyal to me, but in other ways not. Practically every time l make remark she says, Well, 1 realize that I am far inferior to you and don't have your keen brain." Or musical voice. Or per- severance. Or dramatic ability Anything.
 She says this repeatedly in front of our friends. I don't have a reputation for being conceited. try not to be. Yet she says I am the most coneeited person she knows. I make top grades at school and I am we'll liked. 1 have won- dered if that could be the reason for her jibes.
 Yet she could do far better than I if she wished, for she has a sharp mind. On the other hand, money. clothes or high marks don't make a particle of difference so far as popularity goes in our crowd at school. l have several times asked her the reason for her behavior and she says she likes to see me taken down peg. Do you think 1 am conceited? If that's my trouble I want to know it, before 1 get too impossible. -F. L. NOT A FRIEND;
 A JEALOUS CAT
 DEAR F. L.: It is a misnomer to call this girl a best friend. Call her rather a spiteful crony, a jealous cat, who makes a speciality of clawing at you in the presence of mutual associates for the sole and simple reason that she envies a distinctive something about you which makes you general favor ite.
 In all probability, your salient ate tribute is an infectious spirit of well being, way of behavior both dy- mamie and unselfconscious which puts you on top in every situation as if nourished by deep inner as- surance that Gods in His heaven and all's right with your world. AS if you never expected anything but the best Which is as it should be of course. Because the inlmutable principle of human experience is AS thou hast believed, so be it."
 If we explored your background no doubt we would find that gooo heritage, good health and a civil ized home fife have conspired to give you an aristocrat'c character

Because ordinarily no player will lead the jack unless he holds the jack-ten, and if the jack is not cov- cred, he will go up with dummys king and flnesse the ten on the way back. Of course, if South holds the -jack-ten and West covers with the queen, he has no problem what ever. Never before had 1 seen any one lead the jack when 1t was not backed Up by the ten. and through my mistake in covering with the queen, my partner and 1 made a spade trick.
 A week later at the Florida State tournament at Delray I picked up the same combination of cards. This 1 was declarer, playing against Peter Leventritt, who had been on my team in Memphis. I led the jack oi spades and Leventritt did not make the mistake of covering with the queen, SO I played low from dummy and picked up the whole spade suit

 Lazy Bones Who Hate Exercise Can Minimize Hips With Color Contrast
ny ALICIA HART NEA nlAn Writer

Now ahat shoulder planklng h going ott in favor of Che Rentler slope, wliat-to-do is the hue and cfy Of girls who relied upon this dress device to minimize a hippy look.
 Don't try Co buck fashion. There are other tricks Of dress behind which hips can hide. fl you scorn camoufiage, there Is the exercise way out Of your dilemma.
 Dress trlcks9 Dark skirts will iwarf hips, fl you1l top these with lleht-colored blouses. In this figure masquerade, short capes and deep yokes can play an important role, fl either devise is accented by color to build out your shoulder line.
 DIVERT ATTENTION
 You can wear bigger hats and more s.zable hair-do. The more you emphasize the top part of your figure, the more you minimize the triangular base. Then, you can al. ways route eyes away from your hips by making some more distant feature so attractive that 1t cap- lures and holds attention. That feature can be your face, your throat or a tiny waist, played up for all 1t is worth with color decoys.
 AS for exercise, the best routine for trimming down hips-so Holly wood trainers say-s a scientific way of stepping or bending. which you must do anyway fl you do your own housework. Why not do 1t properly-that is go down with a straight spine, as Yvonne Prom tier Girl') Decarlo demonstrates2

 Answer-Use a chlorophyll air freshner to keep down the odor in clothes closset. living room, etc. the same as that which removes the odor of things cooking in kit- chen If your boy friend will take the advice of pipe smoker, he will derive more enjoyment from mod crate or temperate smoking. For instance, no smoking at all in the forenoon, or better if at work, no smoking all day until the days work and the evening meal are over-then an after-dinner smoke is as harmless as it is satisfying.

Teen Age Girls Best Friend Is Sarcastic
 With Her In Company, Because She Likes To Take Her Down A Peg, She Says; But why7

and a high heart, so that you take happy successful experiences in stride as your natural due, without vanity or striving.
 As for your cronN we may judge from her tedious malice beamed at you that the fairies shortchanged her at birth; that she was not granted that full measure of good fortune which makes you the better gifted, infinitely more gracious indi- vidual that you are hence target of her ranking envy.
 MANY A TRUTH
 SPOKEN IN JEST
 Tn my opinion, her behavior is two faced, period. Privately conciliatory and otherwise treacherous. Far from being loyal in any way that counts. she is viper in your bosom. Obvi- ously she derives some ego satisfac- ton from her rating as your best friend, probably because 1t is a prop to her social consequence; maybe also she is attracted by those good qualities you have that she hash got. But the fact remains that by and large she is hostile to you and has her axe out for you.
 As for what she's got against you, many 8 truth is spoken in jest, and when she mockingly says, T realize that I am far inferior to you" she is disclosing the secret of her ani- mostly. What you are too big to see she is too little to swallow, name- ly, that essential difference in your favor between your respective quail ties of heart and head. She says she likes to see you taken down a peg, meaning that 1t is salve to her envy to put you at disadvantage in company, as she does with her sly clawing, which is alien to your na- ture. Also, this would be ugly show ing off, a little act entitled, Watch mo take the starch out of her" In- tolerable abuse of your good dis. position.
