Paderewski was invited by
his hostess to a picnic the
following day.
I'm sorry," said Pade-
rewski. "but I have to prac-

You mean you still prac-

said the hostess. "You must

DISTANCE: One after

success to coax a pianissimo

Softer, gentlemen, like
music is coming from far

Again the orchestra tried,
but still Toscanini was not
satisfied. The next time, the
musicians cut down on their
volume so drastically that
Toscanini had to lean for

Metal bedSteads were built and
used during ancient times, but
they were little known to people
of Western Europe until 200
years ago.
Then they were adopted by
certain families of the British
Isles and the mainland of Eu-
rope. It was argued that such
beds would be free of insects
which bored into wood.
Step by step. the metal bed
steads won more favor, and they
were produced on q large scale
in the middle Of the past century.
They took the place Of wooden
beds In hundreds of thousands
Of homes.
Other steps toward better
sleeping followed during the
second half Of the past century.
Coiled springs were made for
mattresses. At first the springs
were placed only under the mat

The grammatical rule for
agreement between a verb and
it's subject is: "A verb should
agree with its subject in num-
ber and person. and not with a
word or phrase between it and
the subject"
Now let us see what that
means:
"A new order of ideas and
principles have been instituted" :"
The subject of that sentence
is "order," which is singular.
The phrase "of ideas and prin-
ciples" has. nothing to do with
the verb. Therefore, correct: A
new order of ideas and princi-
pies has been instituted.
Wrong: "You. the chairman.
is the one to present the case" "

This heavy sarcasm was not
lost on Mr.. Muzzy. What do
you expect me to do see
through the backs of the cards?"
he asked hotly.
"Of course not" Mr.. Cham
pion replied. you've been play
ing for 20 years and the fronts
OF the cards still battle you."
This discussion resulted from
the fact that on two separate
occasions during the play of this
hand Mr.. Muzzy had overlooked
golden opportunities to take his
partner off an end-play.
The king of hearts was opened
and Mr.. Champion carefully
played the deuce. If Mr.. Muzzy
had shifted to the jack of dia-
monds at trick two the contract
would have been doomed.
However, he stubbornly. con-
tinued with the ace of hearts.
Mrs. Keen ruff1ed and took two
rounds of trumps. She then
cashed the ace, king and queen
of clubs, sluffing a diamond frols
dummy.
Next she ruffed her last club,
Mr.. Muzzy discarding a small
heart. The closed hand was re-
entered by rufing dummy's last
heart.
Her preparation completed.
Mrs. Keen now led a diamond to-
ward dummy's king. This was
Mr.. Muzzy's second opportunity
to save the day. The only thing
he saved was the jack Of dia-
monds. He played the trey, the
eight went on from dummy and
Mr.. Champion was in with the
ten.
A heart return would let Mrs.
Keen discard a losing diamond
while ruffing on the board. A
diamond return would enable
her to win a trick with dummy'S
king. Mr.. Champion gave up.
Actually, Mr.. Muzzy needed
no X-ray eyes to know that he
should have played the jack on
the first diamond lead. His
side needed three more tricks.
Obviously there were no more
tricks available in spades. hearts
or clubs. And to win three tricks
in diamonds, Mr.. Champion
would have to hold the ace,
queen. and ten. AS his only hope,
Mr.. MuzZy should have played
his partner for that holding

We may think of China as
being backward, and it is in
some ways. The Chinese. how
ever, had bedsteads in ancient
times. They made wooden beds
a thousand years before such
beds were known in some coun-
tries of Western Europe.
In due course, the Chinese
learned to use netlike cloth to
inclose their beds. This pro-
tected the sleeping people from
mosquitoes.
In Japan the sleeping customs
differ somewhat from those Of
China. The Japanese, in general,
sleep on mats, but over each
mat is a thick quilt. or perhaps
two. In addition, the japanese
use quilts or blankets to cover
themselves. :
