Referring to an earlier column,
a mother writes: Surely you
can't approve of 16-year-old boys
and girls being allowed to con-
gregate in the house of one OF
them without the presence of an
older person? I feel that you must
have misunderstood the situation.
You told a young girl that she
might be criticized if she brought
an occasional boy home after
school in her mothers absence to
listen to records or look at tele-
vision, but that she might very
we'll take home a group of her
school friends-boys and girls
both. You must know the tragic
results of such leniency. Won't
you please do something to cor
rect your answer, as parents will
have difficulty in convincing their
children that they must disagree
with you on this point.
I am sorry not to be able to
agree with your point Of view. It
seems to me that a boy and girl
alone presents a quite different
situation from a group together.
In other words, there is propriety
in numbers.

living with us whose own parents

Answer: The only possible way
the parents could be included on
the wedding invitations would be
as follows:
In the unavoidable absence Of
the brides parents
Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith
request the honor of your
presence at the marriage of
their niece
Mary Jones
etc.
The announcements should, Of
course be sent out in the names
of her parents alone.
GIittery JeweIry
Dear Mrs. Post: Is a rhine
stone necklace limited to formal
evening wear? If not, may it be
worn with a street dress during
daytime hours or only in the even
ing?
Answer: Much depends upon its
size as we'll as its design. If the
necklace does not fall very low and
has no pendants, it might be qsAte
suitable for daytime wear.

Gas South you hold:
AA107 0Q63 o84 &K10S3
The bidding has proceeded:
North East South West
/ heart Pass 2 clubs 2 diamonds
z hearts Pass !?
What do you bid now?
A.-Your hand Is very nearly the equal
Of an opening bid facing an opening bid,
which would normally arouse your sus-
picions as to the possibilities of game.
If West had mot overcalled with two dia-
monds you would have raised to three
hearts, pleading with partner to carry on
If he had any slight values over and above
his opening bid. In this case, however,
such soft-pedaling Is not necessary, mas
much as partner by his free rebid has in
dicated that he has considerably more
than 2 minimum; You know, therefore.
that the partnership possesses more than
the equivalent of two opening bids and
should contract for four hearts yourself.

What do YOU bid now?

Although you have a very strong
hand, no further move by you should be
contemplated. Partners response has de-
scribed hand that contains an extremely
powerful spade, suit, but surely no values
on the side, else he would not have pre-
empted. No slam is possible, no rescue Is

Important trees near the coast
are mangroves. These trees grow
in swamps. Their sweet fruit is
eaten. and their bark provides
tannin, a substance which is used
in tanning leather.
Away from the coast are vast
forests with trees of hundreds OF
kinds. Many of the trees have
trunks and limbs which are COW
cred with beautiful flowers. Or
chids become fastened to those
trees, and spend their lives in the
forest. They have aerial roots of
their own. and can hardly be
called true parasites, but they
cling to the trees.
Big palm trees grow alongside
the many rivers and small streams
of Guiana. In the rivers we find
water lilies, and among those
lilies is the famous Victoria. A
