celebrities when appearing here. Like Mr Lilly. Mr. Woollcott has a hobby which bids for his devout attention. He favors "The Seeing Eye." a philanthrope organization which trains Gorman shepherd dogs to lead the blind. Asa radio raconteur. he has broadcast the story of the rehabilitation program for the blind started in Germany after the war. During months of training of the dogs, th*y must learn when to disobey their masters’ orders as well us follow their signals. Mr. Woollcott telis about one dog who refused to let her owner approach an elevator on the upper floor of a hotel; the dog's Judgment was vindicated when the elevator door was found to have been left partially open. Project Aided Mr. Woollcotts stories broadcast over the air have had such a strong appeal that many contributions for training purposes have been forwarded to him. The training school in America was started in Morristown. N. J.. in 1929. after Mrs. Harrison Eustic. a wrote about the German pro* *n. Morris Frank. Nashville, Tern . who had been interested in problems o r the blind, read the story and later went to Fortunate F’®lds. headquarters of "The Seeing Eye." in Switzerland. He took the course and returned with a dog guide. Training Described At the American training school the instructors are required to have receded the trauiing at the Swiss school. Female dogs only are trained for ,‘he purpose. For three months the dog is subjected to all sorts of hazards to perfect her obedience, intelligence and alertr.es.-. When the instructor is assured of the dog's ability to gauge breaks m traffic and to determine when to slow up. hasten or stop, the animal is allowed to work with her blind master. For the last month of training, the dog. instructor and blind master work together. The dog learns to obey the commands. forward, right and left, but if there is an obstacle or danger ahead, she stops regardless of orders. On the other hand the slightest change of direction when it is safe to proceed is conveyed to the dog's master through a semi-stiff Ushaped handle of her harness. By a steady pull she can take her master along at a brisk pace. The master merely has to count the blocks and turns, to keep his sense of direction and by the use of the three commands direct the dog where he wishes to go.

BEGIN HEBE TODAY: Jingo Carter aiwayi lived In the riverfront neighborhood and until she star - * working in a children's hospital. han t reauzed how warped her life had been Dr Robert Vurd offers her the pos.tton for a year, .-tovided she wiu cut off every association she has known. Though Harry Bar es has always been her friend and wants to marry her ahen he gets his b.g • break.” Jingo knows she never wants to return to ’he hiding and watching and dodging that made up her old life She loos* forward eagerly to the regular visits of Mr Jock, who comes almost daily to watch the progress of the new- wing which is under construction. Jir.go doesn't mention her background to the rest of the staff, but Jimsy. a cripple from the settlement, almost recognizes her when she stops by his bed one night. Jingo massages his leg to relieve ’he pair? and stays with him until he fall? asleep NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER FOURTEEN JIMSY was not moved back to the I nursery the netx day as Dr. Bob had promised when they had taken him to the private room for the night. Jimsy had wanted to stay "with the kids.” The doctor shook his head sadly as he stood beside the boy’s bed that morning, his hand on the thin, blueveint’d wrist. ' Well leave him here. I heard you singing to him in the night, lassie. I came to the door. Run upstairs now to bed.” Early in the afternoon she stood at the nursery window. The leaves of the great elm were spiralling to the ground, touched with the frost’s first kiss. A short time before she had seen thes carlet roadster turn into the driveway. Then, as Mr. Jock crossed the open space below the windows, she turned toward the nursery door, her little head held high, her eyes bright. Just a moment and he j would be there. He was standing in the door, crossing the intervening space, standing beside her "It’s a gorgeous fall day," he said brisky. ’’Hello, little Betsy. You are getting to be a real sprinter,” as the child toddled to his side and clasped her arms about his leg. “And. Casey, you need a haircut.” Jingo laughed and Miss Evans at the far end of the nursery looked up quickly. "And as for you,” Mr. Jock continued. turning to Jingo. “You need a good, long ride in the country this afternoon and Dr. Bob has prescribed that very thing. Havent’ you. Dr. Bob?” as the doctor appeared in the door. Jingo stood very still. For a moment her hand was pressed against the white linen frock, beneath which her heart pounded in a strange tattoo. She heard Casey's emphatic demand for a drink of water. She heard Betsy's wail after repeated attempts to gain attention. A long ride in the country with Mr. JockDr. Laird had crossed the room and stood beside Mr. Jock. He looked old and careworn beside the younger man. "Jock has borrowed you for the afternoon, lassie. He is going into the country, and while you are there you can stop and get some fresh eggs for us at a farm. Mrs. Sykes tells me Henry brought only four dozen yesterday. Think of it! Four dozen for 15 husky, hungry little tikes like our family. Run along, lassie." And from the door came Mr. Jock's voice: “Be quick. We don't want to lose one minute of the afternoon I'll be waiting.” Uptstairs in the little white room Jingo laughed down at the picture of Tom Carter on her dresser, as she ran the comb through her hair. "I guess I have at little happiness coming, dad. It’s the first I have ever known—since I was old enough to realize what it was all about. I've been straight with like you told me to, except when I—ran away. But you understand, dad. I couldn't go back—there. I couldn’t —I get that from you, dad. You hatei t, too. And if I had gone back to Harry, it would have meant—that fear! I want sunshine and windows, dad—and I want peace. We never had it, you and I, over there.”
SHE sang as she took the blue dress from its hanger and slipped it over her head; it was the dress that Harry had eyed admiringly while he had said: “You look like a bluebell in it. baby, but it isn’t the shade of blue I mean. Sapphire blue—that's it. And silver slippers.” As she pulled the scarlet/ beret over her soft hair, she stood before the mirror into which she had gazed that morning after she had watched dawn break through the windo wof the hospital. "Happiness comes from within. Dr. B:>b says.” she whispered. “Happiness comes from the heart and when it is filled with that there isn't room—for the other." Jock was waiting for her in the reception room, standing before the fireplace, his hands clasped behind him. looking up at the painting above the mantel. He turned as Jingo came in. “You look very much like her.” he said simply. "The same coloring. the same shade of eyes—” The long, red roadster, shining in its nickel trimmings, was at the door. Jock tucked the robe snugly about her to ward off the chill dampness of the tutumn wind. Jingo could think of nothing at all to say as one block after another was left behind. Gradually the houses were farther apart, and then a farmhouse with its great, red bams, beside the road. Jock talked of inconsequential things with the apparent purpose of keeping her mind off Jimsy. "Fresh eggs." he laughed. "You always know when we strike the country because of fresh eggs and i hot dog signs.” Mile after mile was spun off by I the speedometer on the dashboard. Jingo, snug in the warm robe, listened to the smooth flow of Mr. Jock's voice.

He talked of Dr. Bob. He had known him since he was a boy. and loved 1 im. Dr. Bob's life had been one of love and sacrifice, and his faith in mankind had never been extinguished. He asked nothing morj of life than to do for others, and Mr. Jock laughed when he told of a wealthy society woman who had wanted to adopt Judy and her twin brother Jack. Dr. Bob haJ refused her the children because she was a suffragist and a politican. "Dr. Bob told her that no one who spent most of her time campaigning and lecturing was a fit mother for children.” Jingo laughed, too. "He is called a reformer by the newspapers, but he is anything but that,” he said as he drew the car to a stop before a wayside tearoom. "He helps people by faith and trust in them. We ll have some tea before we start back to the city. I promised Dr. Bob I'd hßve you back at the hospital by 6:30. I'd like to go on and on ” Across the table, while they ate crisp, brown toast and marmalade and drank their tea from pink cups that matched the pink, sprigged curtains at the windows, Jingo found herself talking to him. She spoke softly of her father. He had died nearly three years before and had left her alone. She had finished school at 17 and had been very lonely—until Dr. Bob had ta.-cen her into the hosnital. With a little catch in her voice she said: "I am happy—now.” tt tt tt THE sun had disappeared and night descended, bathing the countryside in a purple haze w’hen the scarlet roadster turned back toward the city. "I’m going away for a vacation —” came Mr. Jock's voice over the roar of the motor. "Going away?" Jingo could not hide the disappointment in her voice. Each day she had listened for his laughing voice in the hall; the sound of his footsteps. And he was going away. "I shall miss Casey and Betsy—and you,” his voice came to her over the roar of the motor. "Betsy and Casey will miss you, too. Mr. Jock.” “And you?” He was slowing down as they approached a railroad track, com-

ing to a stop. The clear whistle of the train cut the still air. "I want you to tell me, will you miss me—little, blue-eyed madonna?” "I’ll miss you, Mr. Jock, very—very much.” The train thundered past, tiny fireflies of flame spreading up into the twilight. The red light on the rear platform disappeared around the bend. “I will miss you, too, Jessica,” said Mr. Jock as he released the brake. "But three months will not be long.” To herself Jingo was whispering, "Deep, sincere, and beautiful —” "Tomorrow?” he asked softly as the car purred to a stop before the hospital entrance. "Tomorrow, and thank you,” she replied with a little catch in her voice. "I must hurry on,” he was saying. "I am late—but there'll be tomorrow. and all the tomorrows—” She looked back from the door. He was still sitting in his car and through the gathering dusk his smile came to her. She closed the door and leaned against it, both hands pressed against her cheeks, her heart pounding against her breast The roar of the motor receded into the distance but—there was tomorrow. and all the tomorrows, he had said. She half ran down the hall. She could hear the clink of the dishes in the dining room and the clatter of spoons against china in the nursery. "I must tell someone,” she 'Whispered. "He is coming tomorrow—and all the tomorrows. I must tell someone. I'll tell Jimsy! Jimsy will want to know.” Gently she turned the knob of the private room at the end of the hall. The bunch of asters nodded their colorful heads over the edge of the vase on the bedside table. She tiptoed across the room and then stopped short! Jimsy was gone. "I’m sorry I didn’t stand by, Jimsy.” she said brokenly as she smoothed the white coverlet with the palms of her hands. “I know you wanted one of your own folks with you—but I'know you are glad that Jingo has found that something deep, sincere and beautiful -” (To Be Continued)

New Clinic Will Test Cosmetics Good Housekeeping Adds to Scope of Widely Known Bureau. BY HELEN LINDSAY Anew and unique beauty clinic was formally opened this week by the Good Housekeeping Magazine, endorsements of which long have meant much in preparations of foods and household equipment. The opening of the beauty clinic is important to the women of America,
because the facials, shampoos, hair tre at m ents and manicures will be with the consumer in mind. Results will be used by Ruth Murrin, beauty editor of Good Housekeeping, to give the women of America practical and scientific information as to results obtainable from nation-

ally-known cosmetics. The manufacurer will learn from these tests how women are using his products, and the results they get. A novel feature of the clinic will be that subjects for Miss Murrin’s tests will be women and girls employed by Good Housekeeping. The practical use tests of the clinic are a development of the work of the Good Housekeeping Bureau, which began its tests of cosmetics 22 years ago under the famous Dr. Harvey* W. Wiley, specialist in pure foods an drugs. The rooms in which the clinic will be held were designed by Eleanor LeMaire, a specialist in this type of architecture. The clinic is approached through corriders. and the visitor first sees a white facade in which in an illumined mirroredback display window, with chromium trim. Exhibited in it are vials and test tubes which suggest the chemical analyses Good Housekeeping Bureau makes of all cosmetics submitted for approval. Through the doorway the visitor faces an illuminated display case in which are exhibits of tested and approved cosmetics. In the demonstration room is a long make-up table, with mirrors with shadowless lighting. The walls are white, the ceiling is yellow, and the lighting equipment has been scientifically arranged to throw on the subject the exact lighting effect desired, sun or shadow. The demonstration rc-om is large enough for lectures, and has a sliding partition which permits treatments to be given in p: ivate. a tt Among the new designs of compacts which are being offered by some designers are small watch-like powder containers in mat finish or enamel, sometimes with colored motifs on top, as glove compacts for evening, designed to slip into the glove. These also are suggested to be used by women who customarily carry medicine cr saccharin with them. tt tt u Richard Hudnut has recently opened a combined beauty and exercise salon in the east. One establishment has a roof-top sports arena with badminton court laid out, and facilities for medicine ball, rope skipping, checher tennis and golf practice. All practice will oe under the direction of experts.

Beem-Keuthan Vows Are Exchanged in Church
With their aquamarine and yellow lace gowns, attendants at the wedding of Miss Mary Louise Beem and Frederick William Keuthan today at the Broadway M. E. Church, carried armloads of roses and freesias. The ceremony was read before an altar arranged with palm and ferns, lighted by tapers in branched candelabra. The Rev. Almon J. Coble, cousin of the bride, heard the marriage vows exchanged as Mrs. John C. English, organist, played “I Love You Truly,” and ‘‘To A Wild Rose.” Mrs. English also played “Liebstraum”and “Indian Love Call” and Ralph Coble, another cousin of the bride, sang “Because” and “At Dawning.” Graduated From Butler The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.

The gowns of the attendants were designed alike, shirtwaist style with long fitted sleeves ending in points over the wrist, with belted jacket tied at the high neck in front with bows of lace. With the gowns they wore brown taffeta off-the-face hats and matching brown slippers. Miss Elliott, maid of honor, was gowned in aquamarine and carried token roses with freesias; Miss Agnes Ball and Miss Edith Anne Hoopingamer, bridesmaids, wore yellow lace and their bouquets were Roosevelt roses and freesias.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League I AM pleased to be able to start today a series of six unusual hands played by our present national champions, Johnny Rau and Charles Lochridge, both of New York. Johnny Rau gained fame several years ago when, with his partner, William Barrett of Atlanta, he won a national championship when both were just past 21 years of age.

This new combination of Mr. Rau and Mr. Lochridge is another pair of popular youngsters and, oddly enough, again Mr. Rau’s partner is an Atlanta (Ga.) boy. Quick thinking are these popular champions, as you will see from this series of hands. It was Mr. Lochridge who played today’s hand at three no trump. tt a it WEST opened the deuce of clubs, East went up with the ten, and South won the trick with the queen. He then laid down the ace of diamonds and followed with the jack of diamonds. West won that trick with the queen and now shifted to a small spade. When the eight was played from dummy, East went in with the queen and South won with the king. He returned the six of diamonds, which East won with the king, West discarding a club. East returned the four of clubs, West won with the jack and led another spade, the trick being won in dummy with the ace. The two good diamonds then were cashed, South discarding a heart and a spade. West was forced to discard the five and the queen of hearts. So a small heart was played from dummy and won with the ace in declarer’s hand. He then led the ten of spades, which West was forced to win with the jack, and* he now had to lead away from his king-seven of clubs into declarer’s ace-eight, thereby giving declarer his contract of three no trump.
