! The city house, built where
land is major cost factor. is
usually proportioned to fit a
smaller lot than is a home in the
country.
The person who builds in the
city wants a home that doesn't
use up too great a percentage
of the land. Yet he doesn't want
to sacrifice space within the
house. The Leighton, this week S
Home of the Week, is designed
with a view to satisfying both
wants in a one-Story house.
Three bedrooms and a large
living-dining room, bath, kitch-
en-, a breakfast nook and full
basement are all included.
Warm-weather living is accom-
modated by an enclosed rear ter
race and sheltered front porch.
Brick veneer and vertical wood
siding are combined in the ex-
terror. There is a pillared porch
and shattered windows. A lou
vered vent in the front gable
aids circulation of air between
the asphalt-shingled roof and
the interior ceilings.
The front door opens into an
entry hall: at left of this hall
is the kitchen, while the living
room is straight ahead. There is
also a guest closet in this hall

The living-dining room has
two entire walls of knotty-pine

walls is a fireplace bordered by
a natural pine mantel.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

=
It's always a good idea for
everyone to take stock Of his
vocabulary now and then. The
words shown in this column are
not necessarily new" but all are
valuable additions to the average
vocabulary.
SYMPATHY. of course, is not
new to any of US, and it has
several meanings. The one we
usually think of first is the ex-
preston Of sorrow at another'S
loss, grief, or misfortune. SYM
pathy is derived from the Greek
combining form syn, with, I"
plus pathos, suffering"
But is EMPATHY familiar? It
is closely related to sympathy,
both in derivation and meaning.
However, while sympathy has
many shades Of meaning, en-
pathy has but one: Mentally
entering into the feelings of a
person or thing; appreciative
perception and understanding. "
Thus. though we often parrot
the phrase. MY sympathies are
with you in this hour" and
superflcially mean 1t, when we
use the word empathy we mean
that the others grief is as real
TO us as it is to him.
Empathy is pronounced: EN-
lpuh-thee.
PELLUCID, pronounced: pub
lLOO-sid, is a good word to add
to our vocabularieS. Pellucid
means clear; easy to under
stand" We speak of an authors
pellucid style of writing, or Of
the pellucidity (PELL-yoo-SID-
uh-tee) Of q certain textbook.
Mrs. F. j. H. writes that Q
book she is reading speaks Of "ar
GORGEOUS lie."
Egregious means remarkably
fragrant; shocking; conspicuou!
for bad quality" 1t is from the
Latin egregius. apart from the
herd" Egregious is pronounced;
i-GREE-juss; or, less frequently;
Ii-GREE-j ee-uss.

FAMOUS FABLES

REPUTATION: Musical come
dy star Ethel Norman worked
as a Stenographer when she first
went into show business. During
the day she would take dicta-
ton, and at night she would
make a few extra dollars sing
ing, whenever her agent could
get an engagement.
After following this routine
for months she landed a con-
tract with Warner Bros. Feel
ing financially secure, she quit
her Stenography job.
Once under contract, she sang
even less then before. She was
paid we'll, but was given nothing
whatever to do. And the brothers
Warner would not permit her
to take outside engagements.
Instead Of being pleased with
this life Of leisure. she was mis-
cradle. She called her agent
and demanded that he get after
the studio to put her to work.
What are you kicking about?"
he asked. They're paying you
every week, aren't they?"
Il know" she replied, but my
neighbors are beginning TO talk.
They see I have beautiful clothes
and plenty Of money, but they
never see me going TO work. If

tation around herel"

Santa's Wishing Elf" He threw
of his white cloak and sure
enough he was an elf and not a
man.
Dear me-" said Santa sud-
denly. II forgot what a long, cold
ride you've had" He went to the
door and called to his wife.
Gould we have a light snack?
Say some gingerbread and choc-
olate cake and lemon pie. And
perhaps some apple tarts and
peppermint milk shakes, too"
Well, in just two seconds. in
came Mrs. Claus with q tray
big as a house and on it every
thing Santa had asked for and a
bucket Of coconut cookies, too.
We ate it all-even the crumbs.
Then Santa said, Nov tell me,
children, why you wished so hard
to come to Santa Land. It's only
a few days to Christmas and
would have visited you soon."
She Told of Her Father
"Oh, Santa" cried the princess
I'm afraid there may not be a
Christmas in my kingdom now or
ever again."
Then she told Santa about her
father and how he had always
been a wonderful king until
thirty days ago. How he spent
his days in a secret room and
whoever went in that room with
him never came out again. And
just today he had ordered the
princess into the room and that
is why she had run away.
Santa pulled his pipe and lis
tened carefully to the princess
story. When she finished he sat
there nodding his head for a long
time and gazing into the fire.
Finally he said, "There's only
one way to find out what's in
that room"
We looked at him and we
waited and we didn't dare speak
or hardly breathe at all.
And then he said, wen have
to go in there and see for our
selves"

This is not true, however. in
the matter of showing partner
the distribution of their hands.
Mr.. Abel failed miserably in
this respect in today's game and
Mr.. Champion was left in the
dark as to what suit to guard
at the end.
The opening lead was the five
Of clubs and Mr.. Abel won with
the ace and returned the deuce.
All right so far. Mr.. Champion
correctly read his partner for
four clubs.
Mr.. Dale won the second trick
with the king of clubs. He en-
tered dummy twice with the two
high hearts and took spade A.
nesses both times. Then he laid
down the ace of spades, drop
ping Mr.. Abel'S king. On this
last trick Mr. Champion dis
carded the nine of clubs. A
heart was discarded from
dummy.
Now Mr.. Dale ran all the rest
Of his spades, discarding from
dummy the last heart, small
diamond and the jack of clubs in
that order. Mr.. Champion
played the ten of hearts, and was
then down to the queen Of hearts
and three diamonds to the queen.
What discard should he make
on the last spade? Did Mr..
Dale have for his last three
cards the jack of hearts and the
ace-king of diamonds? Or did
he have no hearts and three
diamonds to the ace-king?
Mr.. Champion had carefully
watched his partners diScards.
But Mr.. Abel, who was in a po-
sition to make the correct de-
Tense perfectly clear, fell down
on the job. He Stubbornly held
on to the jack Of hearts.
Mr.. Champion had to guess
and he guessed wrong. On the
last spade he dropped small
diamond and Mr.. Dale then
took the rest in the diamond
suit.
why didn't you give me a
count by throwing away the jack
of heartS?" Mr.. Champion
Rrowled.
But that was the biggest card
IN my hand at the time" Mr..
Abel replied.
What a reason" snorted Mr..
Champion. II had Dale counted
for six spades and two clubs. If
you had thrown the jack of
hearts 1 would have known he
had only two hearts and there
fore three diamonds. Then we
would have beat the contract"
And, as usual, Mr.. Champion
was right.

unless you choose flats so you
won't tower over your date or

S. Grooming: For hair

go by length of neck, shape
