Miss Petri to Appear 5 at Theater City Student of Dramatics gg£; Will Be in Casts on Eastern Stage. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Times Woman’s Page Editor MISS HELENE PETRI arrived yesterday for a short visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Petri, before entering a momentous period in her life. With a winter season of glowing success at the New York school of theater encouraging her, she has accepted

Miss Burgan

Miss Petri attended Sarah Lawrence college, where she added to her background of dramatic experience. She studied stage mechanics and eagerly read modern and classic dramas. When she was at Tudor Hall she was one of the charter members of the Masquers Club and played the heroine in many of its plays. The Beach theater draws its audiences from fashionable resorts in the vicinity of Cape Cod. New plays will be tried out, and plays already established in the favor of the theater-goers will comprise the summer fare. Miss Petri, of course, is wondering what rojes she will be assigned to play in casts which will include such stars as Rose Hobart, Ilka Chase, Margalo Gillmore, Earl Larimore, Walter Slevak and Hilda Stong. Miss Petri appeared at the Commodore Club in New York in productions produced by the school. She successfully carried leading roles in “Hotel Universe,” Noel Coward’s “Hay Fever” and “Trojan Women.’’ In August she will join a group of players at Sussern, N. Y., and then she will begin thinking of her winter activity. Ann Johnston, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell W. Johnston, spends many a summer afternoon at the Woodstock Qlub. When Susannah Jameson grew tired of swimming in the pool the other day, she rested on the lawn. Ann had brought along her sketch book, and we peeped over her shoulder as she deftly sketched slim Susannah, resting flat on her stomach. Miss Ruth Tyndall, daughter of General and Mrs. Robert H. Tynndall, enjoys lunching at the club after a morning swim. After a swim this week she slipped into a pair of rusty red gaberdine slacks, and a ~red and white checked seersucker shirt.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem West .opened the bidding second hand with one club. North overcalled with one dia-. mond, and now East is playing the contract at four hearts. Would you open the king of diamonds, the top of your partner’s suit, or the singleton nine of clubs? SOUTH 4 10 8 7 4 3 VA 7 4 4KQ 8 4 * 3 Solution iij next issue. 15 Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League I HAVE selected today’s hand from the book of that great player, Louis H. Watson, entitled “Watson on the Play of the Hand at Contract Bridge.” He is recognized as one of the best card players of the country. Watson states that in bridge there is no such thing as a hopeless hand. He says that no matter how discouraging the prospect looks at first glance, there is always some chance of developing sufficient tricks. In today’s hand it is necessary to duck twice to establish a suit in dummy. Sometimes such a play may seem rather hopeless unless you give proper weight to possibilities of distribution. tt tt tt THE opening lead is the queen of diamonds. When you take stock of the situation, you will find that you have exactly seven high card tricks. Your only long suit is hearts, so you attack this suit without delay. Os course, you must be careful not to take the ace of hearts out of dummy at once, as it will eliminate the only entry in that hand. Therefore, you lead a small heart, West plays the deuce, the four is played from dummy, and East wins with the queen. He returns the nine of diamonds and this time you must play low,

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

If something warns you to look before • you leap, write to Jane Jordan and read her comments on your problems in this column. Dear Jane Jordan —I have a serious matter before me and would like to have your advice. I am a widow, in love with a man twenty years older than I. His wife died and left him with six children be-

tween the ages of 18 months and 17 years. J am willing to marry him and take care of them. I love him more than any one. He will make a fine husband. We are waiting until this fall because I am only 20 and he says I am

too young. He wants me to be sure I am not making a mistake. I will have a nice home and everything a woman would want, but I w r ant to know what you think about the situation. Am I making a mistake that I might be sorry for afterward? JUST A GIRL IN LOVE. Answer —Os course, I can not definitely say that your marriage will not succeed, but it if does, it will be a miracle. The care of * six children, one of whom is nearly as old as you are, calls for a fund of knowledge not possible to acquire in the snore space of twenty years. It is flatly impossible to make the transition from girlhood to womanhood, from inexperience to experience with such speed. The average 20-year-old girl doesn’t know enough to make a good mother to her first baby, and a ready-made family of six is more than she could handle even if she was a child prodigy with the disposition of an arch angel. Nature is a trickster who blinds us to reality by setting us on fire ■with desires. Romance is the ether which anaesthetizes us to the point where w'e can not foresee the future price we have to pay for present pleasures. I do not doubt that the man is both attractive and good, or that he offers a variation of the father theme which is so irresistible to women, particularly timid women. It must seem easier for you to turn yourself over to a man old enough to be your father than to risk the dangers of a younger, less devoted man. The very fact that he is willing to lay his mature problems on immature shoulders when his need is for someone quite different, points to the fact that he does not face relentless reality, but still expects dreams to come true. A girl wife is especially attractive to a middle aged man, but to place one at the head of a family of six is equivalent to holding on to a belief in Santa Claus long after experience has proved that there isn’t any. tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl just 15 and engaged to the nicest boy in the world. Here is my problem. About a year ago, before I knew him, I met jmother boy who moved away. Last winter I saw him again and I like him better than any boy I ever met. My mother would not let me go with him because of the boys with whom

knowing that it will do no harm to make sure that your right hand opponent is stripped of diamonds before you lose control of that suit. West wins with the ten and returns the jack of diamonds, which you win with your ace. And now Mr. Watson states that the time has come for your desperation play. You lead the eight of hearts, and when West plays the seven, you again duck the trick, playing low from dummy. This is a double ducking play, and is the only way you can ever hope to make nine tricks on the deal. As it turns out, East is forced to win the trick with his king, and has to lead back either a spade or a club. True, if West held the ace of clubs, you would be set two tricks in spite of your “double duck” in hearts. However, you remember that you held up on the second round of diamonds, in the hope that East would be stripped of that suit and would be unable to lead a diamond, assuming, of course, that he has the ace of clubs and will ultimately gain the lead.

he chummed; so I continued to have dates with the one I’m engaged to. Most any girl I talk to about my engagement thinks I’m awfully lucky, but I wonder, for I can’t forget the first boy, even though I love the second one. Do you think that I should just forget No. 1 and keep the best boy? A GIRL.. Answer—ls there is one thing I fear more than another it is helping a girl choose a husband. Since I do not know either one of these boys, how can I help you decide? The fact of the matter is that you are too young to make such a mature decision at all. Almost any attractive lad could win your love at this stage, Why can’t you be content to love them all for a few years until you can choose with more wisdom? At 15 a girl's idea of love is akin to a visitation of fever. The boy who can cause the “biggest commotion of the senses is the one who hooks up with love. When she is older she learns the unreliability of her own emotions and choosing a mate for quite different reasons. The last statement is a bit optimistic, for some women never get over their early ideas of romance.

Mrs. Jenckes Continues Campaign on Behalf of Cotton Garment Makers Indiana Congresswoman Opposes Movement to Place Industry Under Rule of Woolen Manufacturers. BY HELEN LINDS A1 WOMEN throughout America have felt an interest in the fight which Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes, Indiana congresswoman, has launched against manufacturers seeking to control the cotton garment industry. Letters were received by women's organization throughout the country this week, urging them to protest to General Hugh S. Johnson against such action. “American men and women are wearing more cotton today and the use of cotton wearing apparel is becoming popular and stylish in America,” Mrs. Jenckes wrote officers of women’s organizations.

“As this problem will affect the pocketbook of women who purchase these cotton garments for themselves and for their men, I urge you to register a protest with General Hugh S. Johnson, and have your congressman or senator voice your protest. By doing so you will render genuine service to women throughout America.” Mrs. Jenckes reiterated charges made in the house last week, against a clique of New York clothing producers, in a speech which she made at the meeting called Monday in Washington. She explained that her interest in the matter was motivated from the viewpoint of portecting an industry in' her own district in Indiana. “In the Sixth district of Indiana there are located a number of cotton garment plants giving permanent employment to many citizens. These plants are endangered through the contemplated action of placing the cotton garment industry in

the position of being dominated directly or indirectly by the woolen garment industry, and certain labor organizations which have lost sight of the objective of the national recovery admiinstration.” tt tt tt tt a tt Practices Her Clothes Preaching MRS. JENCKES stressed the fact that more cotton garments are being worn. “I tried out the experiment of wearing the inexpensive cotton dresses on the floor of the house of representatives,” she said. “I found that they were stylish and comfortable, and received many compliments from my colleagues. This proves that cotton is an attractive material and should be used everywhere. This justifies the popularity of cotton for wearing apparel purposes throughout the land.” Included with Mrs. Jenckes’ letters to heads of women’s organizations were copies of the Congressional Record, in which her speech in the House of Representatives on June 9 was recorded. tt tt tt it tt Fashion Group Hears Mrs. Roosevelt ANOTHER, woman champion of industry was heard this week, when Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to guests at a luncheon of the advisory council of the fashion group in the Ritz-Carlton in New York. The meeting’was called to discuss the progress made by the work of the fashion group, and further efforts to be made in various fields of fashion promotion and merchandising. Mrs. Roosevelt spoke of the work already started to establish industries for different handicrafts in villages co make them self-supporting. She expressed the belief that the field for this work would be wider in the future, and asked co-operation of the fashion group in an advisory role. A committee of fifty was formed to serve as a fashion and merchandising laboratory.
