Femininity’s Leadership Role Upheld Survey Reveals That Even in Childhood Girls Do ‘Bossing/ BY HELEN' WELSH IMLR NI \ Scrtict Staff Writer 'T'HE popular belief that women are more inclined to give commands than men has received substantiation through the survey made by Dr. Mary Shattuck Fisher, of Toachars' College, Columbia Universit V. Dr. Fisher's da.a was obtained

from the stenographic records of the language of 72 .pre-school children in nursery schools, over a period of two years. The little girls told the little boys what to do. They bossed, ’ to be quite exact about It. “There!“ a chorus of fathers, husbands, brothers and other unclassified men will repeat.

"What have we told you? Haven't we always known it was so?” But just a minute, gentlemen! The trait to command may be inherently feminine, but the years that are gone have proved that men are imitative creatures; and they take their cues from feminine playmates. Boys Do Choosing In most neighborhoods, as children grow a little older, the boys choose the games which the neighborhood gang will play. If the little girls don't want to leave their dolls behind and join in a leap frog contest they needn't play! The little boys—and we don't blame them—usually hope that the dolls will win. for masculine legs during the pre-chorus stage are much the more agile. If the little girls, though, outside the play field, are more inclined to give orders, it is easy to understand the age-old inheritance which makes this true. Women are gifted with the maternal instinct. When a group of children start to the circus or a Sunday school picnic, it is always a small girl in the group to whom the mother entrusts the care of the others. The boys may be older. But the innate maternal instinct of the little girl will provide thp most definite care. She will see that the boys have clean fares before they attack the mounds of ham sandwiches and the potato salad sprinkled with rings of hard-boiled eggs. She will supply clean handkerchiefs at the needed tune. Woman More Stable She may venture to remonstrate when a piece of chocolate cake, a piece of angel food cake and one with three layers of rose icing as deep as new nail polish, repose on a cardboard plate. Woman's roots go deep into the soil of ages. They will always remain. steantast and true, though men go forth on adventure trails that circle the earth by sea and sky. Because women have an older wisdom perhaps the desire to protect makes them give orders. Nobody really knows, of course. The entrance of talkative little girls into the cinema world has given evidence that some small girls often have a desire to command. Little boys will ask questions. Little girls will give orders. Real Traits Revealed There is Jane Withers’ performance in Bright Eyes," in which she Is C&si as a Viilianous child character who menaces the happiness of shy sweet Shirley Temple. Any p-ychologist studying the Him role of the villainess would agree that little girls command, order, boss! But turning to Shirley, the psychologist would change her inina. Alter all. the characteristics which boys and girls are going to display as men and women are fairly well revealed in their childhood. Some women will boss. They will want to ch<>se the family's vacationing spots, their husband's ties and cars and Looks and secretaries. Others will realize that no one person ever possesses another, that life is not fun unless it is free, and will choose nothing for any one. Therefore, it is not quite fair to •a>" that the early maternal evidence. which is a desire to minister, is related to the urg** to command with military precision. Fishers Entertain Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Fisher entertained Saturday with a birthday dinner in honor of Mrs. Fisher's nether. Mrs. Harriett Keefauver. Visiting the Fishers are Mrs. Benjamin Hi It and her daughter Antoinette. St. lonic

Mrs. Molmari obtains an amullment of tier son s marriag* to Treasure who has oeen a night club hostess. She is I convinced, bv Rudolf, that Treasure is not good girl, that she has victimized j Tor.v. Sc Mrs. Molinarl sends Tony I away to "forget.” But before Tory goes, he discovers Rudolf lu the act of ! g.ssir.g Treasure This comes after Tonv has heard Rudoif s insinuations ar.d after Tonv himself has questioned I Treasure about her innocent relations | w:tn Carlos Bermudas, the boy who had j taught her to cance the tango— their danc.” Tor.v calls it—ar.d Outer Keith, pianist In the club orchestra. Deserted by Tonv. her marriage , annul.efi Treasure is going to have a babv Her father has turned her out I of her own home and her mother has gore with her. They live with a i r.eigr.bor and Mrs McGuire does odd 1 jobs. Treasure still hopes that when Tony Is 31 ne will come to her. Arer Treasure s baDv is born she goes out to looc for woric. though her mother, w.’h moqev which she has had "come :r. • fror some mysterious source, nas afforded an apartment for them. In her search for work Treasure meets Oliver Keith, r.ow successful. She tfi.s him of her marriage, the annulment ar.d her Mbv. Tony. He promises to ; call. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE ALTHOUGH Treasure had not accomplished her purpose in coming down town she hurried home eager to see her baby. Business school was out of the question and she was determined not to be a night club hostess again. On the street car she found her thought turning to Oliver again. How nice it had been to see him. > How pleasant to know he was suc- | ceeding. The welcome waiting for her at home put everything else out of her mind. She sat with her child in her arms thinking, “It doesn't matter what happens as long as I I have him.” All her former optimism seemed to have returned. Impossible to be depressed at 19 when one has perfect health and is the mother of an adorable son so exactly like the father you have loved that every motion of the little head—every expression on the baby face—is ridiculously familiar. So for a few more days she basked in the blessed contentment of playing with him, bathing and j 1 powdering the smooth, plump body, I holding him in her arms freshly dressed and feeding him. Rocking him with an old fashioned disregard for modern methods while she sang. | On Sunday afternoon Carlos came. He had not been in since thry had moved to the new apart- ! ment. Had indeed only seen the baby once and then, although he admitted that the child was all that Mrs. O'Flaherty had said of him, Carlos’ real concern was all forj Treasure. “He's jealous of my baby,” she! had thought, watching his face . darken as he looked at the little ! Tony. ‘'Just as I knew he would be." When Carlos had not returned j she knew that she was right so she | was doubly glad to see him. Hoping j that he had overcome his jealousy and was ready to be friends. But Carlos did not even inquire : about the baby. Instead he urged Treasure to come for a walk. She went, amused at his anxiety to get away from the apartment. Not at all surprised when he said, “You were right. Treasure! I can't take it.” “Do you mean the baby?” “Yes! I'd be terribly jealous of him. It would be almost as bad as having his father around.” It's very silly of you,” she scolded. “but I was afraid you would feel that way.” “You know there will never be any one I feel the same about as I did you,” he declared dramatically. "It's sweet of you to say so but some day you'll meet a girl who will love you as you deserve.” "I have.” he said. "And I'm going to marry her. But it will never be the same.” "Why, Carlos!” she cried pleased for him but at the same time with the uncontrollable pang a woman always feels when she loses one of her admirers. “Who is it?” "A girl I met at a party one night. She's a keen dancer. I've been teaching her to tango.” She could not resist saying, ‘‘l remember you told me you'd kill me if I danced v ith any one else.” •'I was a great fool,” he admitted, reddening. "You're a darling.” the girl cried, warmly squeezing his arm. “And I hope you'll both be terribly happy.” •'She's crazy about me,” he said defensively. ' Well, that's fine,” she replied. "That's as it should be.” He took her home saying he had a date at 6 o'clock. Treasure sug- . gested that her mother go out for awhile and then she sat for a long time in a chair by the window looking out into the darkening street. Little Tony began to cry and she ran to him. nun SHE was s.nging to him when the door quietly opened and some , one slipped into the room and stood concealed in the twilight listening to that husky contralto voice singing How can I bear to leave von You who are dearer than life? I kiss rou lor the last time. I whisper. "Farewell, my Sweet!’* But -he thought of you Will follow aiv dancine feet Like a ghest. Haunting me! Oliver Keith stood entranced listening to Treasure sing. There was a quality about her voice which

wrung his heart. A haunting melancholy which like the melody she sang was unforgettable. There were tears in the piano player's eyes as he called softly. "Forgive me, Treasure, but I didn’t want to stop you ...” Hearing Oliver’s voice she turned with the sleeping baby in her arms. ‘ Come and look at him,” she whispered. Oliver was politely enthusiastic but, like Carlos, made it plain his real reason for coming was not Anthony Molinaro’s child. "Fine looking kid!" he said to Treasure’s disappointment. "What was that you were singing?" Treasure carried the babv into the bedroom ar.: closed the door. When she returned she was surprised to hear Oliver humming the air she had just sung. "What is it?’' he repeated. “I thought I knew them all, but this is not familiar to me.” The girl explained unable to understand Oliver’s growing excitement. "Your grandmother wrote it, you say? But, listen, Treasure, that's a

Solution to Previous ' Contract Problem BY W- E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League IHOPE you didn’t try to work today’s hand out by just taking a pencil and marking the cards off on the paper. If so, I'm afraid you found the hand more difficult than you expected. Harold Solos Pittsburgh, gave me this hand and said that it w r as dealt out in a regular rubber game at home, and after the hand was played he couldn’t understand why six-odd hadn't been made. When

he laid the hand out, he found he had a very fine double dummy problem. The opening lead was the six of diamonds, which East won with the ace. He returned a club. You might be able to defeat the contract by playing the first two tricks some other way, but these first two pleys are definitely set. From now on the hand must be made against the best possible defense. a a * THE second trick is won in dummy with the king of clubs. At this point take two rounds of hearts, winning the second round in dummy with the king. West discards a diamond and East a spade. Now lead the ace of clubs. Would you discard a diamond or a small spade? If you do either, you lose your contract. The only way the hand can be made at this point is for South to discard the ten of spades. Now start the heart suit. Cash the ten. lead the seven, and overtake with the jack. East will discard a diamond and a spade and West a diamond and a club. Now the queen of hearts is played. West discarding the ten of clubs, dummy the six of spades, East the seven of clubs. Next the six of hearts. West lets go a spade, dummy the seven of diamonds, and East the queen of spades. Now the five of hearts. West lets go the three of spades ar.d dummy the eight of'diamonds. East begins to feel the squeeze now—he has to discard the jack of clubs. If he discards the spade, declarer makes the hand by cashing the king of diamonds and taking the spade finesse. But, by East's discard of a club, declarer is forced to lead the king of diamonds and West finds himself squeezed. If he lets go the queen of clubs, the dummy's four is good, while if he lets gc the four of spades, that will make dummy's ace and nine good. You will notice that, if the small spade were discarded, instead of the ten spot, declarer would not have been able to take the spade finesse if forced to. (CoprrlKht. 1935, SEA Service. Inc.)

wow! It's got what it takes to ge. a song across right now. I can’t believe it was really written 37 years ago.” "Wait and I'll show it to you,” she said. She went to the bedroom again and returned with the dress of spangled tarlatan and the small yellowed program. "This is the dress she wore.” “Did she sing it?” "I don't know. I'm not even sure that she composed it herself. All I know is she left it with this costume when she went away.” "What a story!” Oliver commented. "Sing it again for me, , will you? You have a very stirring voice, Treasure The kind that gets under one’s skin. Come on, now; sing it again for me.” Standing by the window she faced i him and sang it with no trace of : self-consciousness. He listened intently until she had finished* then he said, "Do you know that gives me an idea? It popped into my j head just now, but I believe it's worth taking a chance on.” His kind face was so enthusiastic that Treasure could not resist smil- ! ing. "What is it, Oliver?” "You wear a cheap little dress of some kind—a suit maybe with a plain little hat, and lean against a doorway or something,” Oliver suggested vaguely, "singing it.” "Singing it where, darling?” "At this new night club we’re going to play for,” he explained. "Well make it our theme song, see? Every nignt when we begin to play and when we close. Maybe once between times for the aftertheater crowd. Then if that goes across you might sing one or two other blue songs.” "Oh, Oliver, do you think I could? I’ve never had a lesson in my life.” "You don’t need lessons,” he cried impatiently, "for that kind of stuff. Your voice is exactly right for it just as it is. Low, husky, sweet. . . . You’ve no idea the appeal it has in songs of this type. It’s hot stuff, I tell you.” n a HE was striding up and down the room now intoxicated with his own idea. "Listen, Treasure, I’m willing to take a chance if you are. Come and sing it for me at the opening on Saturday night. I can’t promise you a thing until we see what happens. Are you game?” She held out her hand as if she had been a man. "Right!” she said. "We’ll get an old suit for you some place." Treasure smilfed. "You needn't. The one I wore last winter will be just what you want I think.” She produced it from the closet. It was black and shabby. Severely plain. ••Perfect!” Oliver agreed. "Boy, is this going to be good?” he looked at his watch. "I have to go now, but you report at the address I gave you Tuesday at 2 and we’ll try it with my band. I’ll have to write the other parts to it. There’s nothing here but the melody.” "Can you do that, Oliver?” "Os course! That’s simple.” In his delight he kissed her on the cheek. "All I’m asking you to do is trust me.” “I’ve done that since the first day I met you,” she answered truthfully. Opposition came from an unexpected quarter. "I don't see what any one would want to listen to that old srng for,” Ellen said. "Seems to me you’d ought to sing something bright and cheerful for the opening of a night club.” "But this is the kind of song that’s popular just now,” Treasure explained. When she added that she was to wear the old black suit. Ellen was disgusted. "Well, I never! What does he want you to lock like a tramp for? I wouldn't let you wear that old thing to the grocery store, much less a place like that.” "But, darling, you don’t understand.” "He probably thinks you can’t afford an evening dress.” Ellen sniffed. "But he’s wrong. live still enough money to buy you something decent to wear.” “I don’t want it, mama. That isn’t the idea. Can’t you see?” "No, I can’t,” Ellen said flatly. "What will people think? Supposing someone who knew you should see you.” There was no use trying to explain that the suit was a costume. To Ellen it was a discarded black suit and the song was a worthless ditty her sentimental mother had left with the baby she didn’t care enough about to keep. (To Be Continued)
