A clever way of using the pattern again and changing it beyond recognition is to carry the entire dress out in one material. And how about a cotton?

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem East has the contract for Tour spades. South opens the three of diamonds.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THIS is the first of a series of hands by Miss Elinor Murdoch, New York, winner of th eindividual national masters’ event and America’s outstanding woman player. Only 35 players participated in this event. Miss Murdoch says: “Lack of concentration is a woman’s greatest fault at bridge. To become a good player, one has to devote a lot of time and study to the game. To play a hand well, all thought of salad and dessert recipes must be forgotten for the moment.” Today’s hand is not complicated, but then it is the simple play that you are apt to slip up on. Especially when you have to deviate from stereotyped rules. For example, we are taught that generally it pays, when leading a suit that has honors in both hands, to lead from the hand w’hich has two honors. However, today we find that the play of the trump suit must first be made from the hand holding but one honor. tt u a WEST opened the king of hearts. Given the encouraging jack by his partner, he continued the suit. East and West took three tricks in this suit, the lead finishing in East’s hand. East then led a small club, which Miss Murdoch won in the dummy with the ace. If, at this point, she were to make the careless play of leading the king of spades, simply because it was from the hand containing two honors, her contract would have been defeated, because West would have won a trump trick. Miss Murdoch reasoned if the spades were divided 2-2 or 3-1, there would be nothing to the hand. But she prepared herself for the emer-

gency that, if West had the four outstanding trumps, she could lead a small spade to her ace. As was the case, when East showed out, the going, of course, was very simple from then on. She led a small spade up to the kingqueen and whether West split the honors or not, he could not make a trump trick now. (CoDvrisht. 1935. NEA Service. Inc.)

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Let Jane Jordan help top think oat j the questions that punle too. Pat your worries in a letter today! Dear Jane Jordan —I have been going with a young man who goes to college and who has entirely modern views on sex. He believes that relations before marriage are quite all right. He thinks that there are very few fellows who do not satisfy their own impulses and thinks that girls should have the same privilege. I do not have the same viewpoint on this subject but do feel that my ideas may be inferior to his because so many people agree with him. I do realize that fellows have a line, but I really believe he means this in a broadminded way. Will you please state your opinion on this matter. D. N. Answer—The trouble with your young man is not that he is modern but that he was born several thousand years too late. Logically and biologically there is no rea-

son why he should not eat flesh and other foods from a common trough with his hands except that our culture has built up certan rituals and r e f in e m e nts around eating which makes the primitive gratification of hunger revolting to the cultivated.

Jane Jordan

Likewise that powerful appetite, sexual hunger, can not be gratified casually. The union he proposes is little more than a droll device incapable of more than momentary relief. The young man is quite correct in his assumption that most young men sissy their impulses in a most casual manner to start with. In the period of adolescence particularly, each individual tends to hark back to his early childhood and relieve the various stages of development whereby his wants were gratified on the gimme level of the nursery. Girls are more inhibited because /or them the experiment has more far-reach-ing consequences. Some people pause in this period, never to mature on the emotional side of their natures. They never learn to assume responsibility for their love relationships, but they are not to be admired as free souls. They are simply emotional dwarfs, anchored to one phase of life, and not free at all. Society is more lenient than it used to be toward digressions from its hide-bound rules, but the individual who defies it throughout a life-time is simply cut off as a dead branch. As your young man matures, if he does, he will feel the urge of other less simple needs, superimposed upon him by the whole body of our culture which is based on renunciation. He will learn to deny rash gratification of immediate desires in favor of a more satisfactory future goal. The wish to join in a responsible relationship with a member of the opposite sex, the desire to build permanent values with a beloved partner, is an outcome of a civilization which was thousands of years in the building.

Block Store to Present Gifts for Best Answers in Hosiery Knowledge Test Eighteen Questions Chosen for L nique Event in Which Winners Will Be Awarded Chalfon Stockings. BY HELEN LINDSAY FOR the Indianapolis women who have studied their hosiery problems carefully, and have successfully reached solutions for them, there are prize packages of hosiery waiting at the William H. Block Cos. store. A hosiery intelligence test has been prepared at Block’s, and women who present the best answers to the eighteen questions listed will receive the prize boxes of hosiery. The test will begin tomorrow, and run through Saturday. Written answers are to be handed in to the hosiery department on the first floor of the store. Each day the woman who answers the questions best will

receive a box of three pairs of Chalfon hose. All of the questions have been given on hosiery trou- j bles which are common to most women. Most of them I deal with the wearing qualities of hose. They are listed { below: Why is it important for me to get my individual length in hosiery? Why does my stocking break at the instep? How can I avoid holes in the toes of my stockings? I don’t like heavy heels, but I want them to wear. How do I solve this problem? How can I tell a thoroughbred stocking of good ancestry from a cheap one. quite as convincing in the shop window? What should I look for in the welt of my stocking? How can I cut down on garter runners? How can I be more economical in buying my hosiery? What is a difference between a ringless stocking and an old-fashioned

chiffon? How can I tell if the entire stocking is knit full enough throughout? What causes my heels to slip down? How can washing increase the life of my stockings? How can I choose a stocking that will not pull or snag easily? What can I do to cut down knee runners? How can I prevent runners that start at the back seam supporter? What is the correct method of putting on hosiery? How can I wear a heavier weight stocking without the seam in the sole hurting my foot? What is the smart new 1935 color trend In hosiery? Chalfon hosiery, the makers believe, will solve all of these hosiery problems. The hose are sold exclusively in Indianapolis by the William H. Block Cos. tt n a ana Femininity Distinguishes Ball Gowns TWO important balls, given in New York last week, probably will have a decided effect on the fashions of women throughout the country. One was the Butterfly Ball, given at the Ritz-Carleton last Tuesday night, and the other was the Pioneer Ball, a charity affair, which was held in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria. The costumes worn at both affairs were soft and feminine. Soft chiffons, with ruffles, capes and long ties, in pastel shades, were outstanding in the gowns which were seen at the Butterfly Ball, and at both places printed crepe frocks were seen. Almost all of the chiffons were worn with artificial flowers, and the princess silhouette was noticeable. Gingham evening frocks will be worn this year, if the Pioneer Ball costumes are to be taken as a forecast. Similar to garden dresses, these appeared in both cotton and silk gingham, and were worn effectively by the youthful guests. Many of the new evening gowns had panel effects. One of the most effective was in heavy sheer, with box-pleated paneis from the shoulders, and smocking over the shoulders. Brilliant colors, many featuring bright green, were seen in the prints. Tiny flower prints were seen, and many of them had draped sashes at the waistline.

ization is a job for a grown-up person, not a kid in college. tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan I have been going with a girl for over two years whom I love very much. We go dancing quite often. She told me once that since we were going steady I shouldn’t dance with any one but her. I obeyed because I love her. About three weeks ago she got a dance with a fellow whom we all know for his bad reputation simply because he was good looking. I was hurt but didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want her to know I was jealous. She told me later that she loved me and wouldn’t trade

The only reason we are not married is that I haven’t a job but I am beginning to wonder whether this is real love or not. She is really sweet and I hate giving her up but I can’t be happy and jealous at the same time. Tell me whether we’re in love or not, if this is possible. DAVE. Answer—l do not know but you are smart to give ear to your doubts. Perhaps she danced with the other fellow to enjoy your jealously and you failed to rise to the occasion. Some women interpret jealously as a sign of love.

The whole town's talking about SO-AM YERBA MATE, that delicious golden green beverage of
