st. Paul: Will you referee a dis
pute? Our third-grade children are
being taught that the final y Of
such words as lady, city, baby is
pronounced with short Il" as in
did, sit. We, of course, have always
pronounced y as zee" 0ong "e'c.
The dictionary agrees with the
teacher; and now our children are
going around saying "babi, ladi, citi. i"
etc. 1t makes them sound as If
they had a speech defect. Whatever
you say on the subject will be &C
cepted by all concerned-Mrs. P.
A. I'm afraid teacher is taking her
dictionary too literally. It Is true
that final " is shown as short
"i" by the Merriam Webster diction-
aries and their imitators. But in
paragraph 1855, page NVI, of the
pronunciation section of Webster's
New international, it Is explained
that " has tendency to vary
toward zee" 0ong ser.
Actually, however, final. y is al
most invariably pronounced "e" IN
good American speech, and all the
dictionaries in Christendom will not
change that fact.
It is not good usuage to pronounce
final ~ as short a." On the con-
trary, . to do so produces an un-
natural, horrid d-sounding gabble that
sensible persons will steer clear Of.
For example. say this sentence
aloud, giving all final -y's the exact
sound Of short "i':: What a pity;
it was such pretty city (what a
pitt; it was such a priti citD. Ex-
ecrable!
Even worse is the dictionary "izz''
for the last syllable of such plurals
as ladies, babies. cities, as LAY
dizz, BAY-bizz, CIT-izz." How the
dictionaries can recommend such
atrocious pronanciations and keep
straight face is something can
not explain. Dictionary makers may
talk that way; but no one else ever
does And If I had q third-grader

Styles of. shoes have changed
greatly through the ages. This has
been true of the shoes Of both men
and women.
In a general way we may say
that the footwear for women at
one time was not as fancy as
that worn by men. Women COM
monty wore long skirts which tended
to cover their shoes. Without much
chance to show their feet. women
cared less about fancy shoes.
It is a different story today.
Women wear so many kinds OF
shoes that simple list of them
would take too much space.
Going back into history, we nnd
times when men spent a great deal
of money for elegant" footwear.
During one period it was the GUS
tom for them to wear long shoes.
These started out with points few
inches in front of the toes. Later 1t
came to be the custom for the point
of each shoe to extend 10 inches or
more beyond the toes.

No-Trump Technique May Be
. AppIied to Suit Play.

There are certain types of plays
which are effective only at no-trump
and others that may be employed
exclusively at suit contracts. Occa-
sionally, however, a no-trump type
play may be put to use when there
is declared trump. Such situation
developed in today's hand.
The bidding was quite orthodox.
After North's no-trump response
East injected a two-heart overcall.
Some players prefer to sit tight
with hands like this that offer a
good weapon with which to attack
At no-trump and TRUST that the op-
position win continue in that con-
tract. East feared, however, in view
of his singleton spade that South
might rebid the suit and that 1t
would be somewhat awkward to en-
ter the auction at later stage.
Since the heart lead was urgently
desired should South become de-
clarer, he decided to step right in.
6outh's hand has playing strength
6 seven-and- half tricks and the
lump to three spades is fully justi-
fed, It was a close question whether
North should accept the invitation,
but inasmuch as he held nine points,
which is as much as could be ex-
pected from a player who has re-
sponded with one no-trump, one
could hardly find fault with his
decision to go forward.
West opened the nine of hearts
and East's king dropped declarer's
queen. East stopped for moment
to take inventory. The bidding In
dicated that West must hold one
hieh card in either clubs or spades,
for If South held six solid spades
and the ace-king of clubs he would
surely have gone to game In spades
himself after the no-trump response
instead of inviting partner to DO
20. On the other hand, it was just
as clear that West could not hold
more than a trick, since otherwise
South's jump rebid would have been
such stuff as pipe dreams are made
of and West would probably have
doubled the final contract.
It became clear that the contract
could not be defeated without bring
ing in two defensive tricks in dia-
monds. This could be done only If
declarer held three diamonds. In
the hope of finding this holding,
East led the jack Of diamonds.
This trick was taken in dummy and,
when the spade finesse lost to West,
q diamond came back and East now
held a synthetic tenace over dunn
my's king and won two tricks for
the defeat of the contract.
Had the diamond suit not been
attacked at once, dummy's fourth
club would have provided a discard
Tor one losing diamond. Time was
Of the essence of this contract.

live"
Bishop Sheriff. warned he was
not asking the church "for a re-
treat from life. Sometimes peo-
pie mistakenly use the word spir-
itual to mean just that. We can
not escape the burdens and
responsibilities which rest on all

to do so. The world in which we
