Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY YV. E. M KENNEY Swictarv Amriran Brldtt League This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the lrad directing double convention, explained in the new book of the Four Aces’ System of Contract Bridge. In the previous article, I explained that a double by the player not on the lead, when his side has not bid, asks partner to lead the first suit bin by dummy. Today we deal with the lead directing double when the doubling side has bid. South has the contract at three no trump. North, the hand that will become dummy, has bid hearts. During the course of the bidding East bid spades, and when the contract reached three no trump, East doubled. This double is employing the lead directing convention and demands the lead of a specific suit. It directs East’s partner to lead a

spade, the suit East has bid, regardless of his own Holding. On looking the hand over, you can see that a spade opening is the only lead that will defeat the contract. a a a IP West opened a club, declarei could quickly knock out East's ace of diamonds which would assure the contract. However, with a spade opening, the timing factor is in favor r.f East and West, as the spade suit will be set up before declarer can establish his diamond suit. The third rule of this convention is, when you have not bid and your partner has, your double directs partner to open his own suit, even though dummy may have shown a suit of his own. Summing up the lead directing double convention rules so far, we find dt that if you and your partner have not bid, a double asks for the i°ad of the first suit bid by dummy; <2> if you or your partner has bid, even though dummy has shown a suit, the double asks partner to open the suit bid by your side. If you are not prepared to handle the suit your lead directing double directs partner io open, you must not double. (Copyright. 1035. NF.\ ©mice. Inc.)

Crystelle Velvet Gives Distinction to Evening Mode

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY fN fashion parlance the only difference between a little evening and a big evening Is covered shoulders. The distinction has nothing to do with the amount of enjoyment the evening produces, but is just fashion's newway of distinguishing between formal, semi-formal and evening clothes. The last classification is repreresented by ankle-length dresses of velvet, and street-length dresses of metal cloth. Both types are correct for dining out. tor the theater and for supper dancing when your escort does not dress in white tie and tails. a a a npHE street-length dress of metal cloth is just as appropriate for the cocktail hour, when worn with a fur wrap and a dressy little hat. But the ankle or instep or floor-length dress, long-sleeved or short-sleeved, does not make its appearance until the dinner hour in fashionable circles. So much for the etiquette of the

Every Type of Skin Aided by Mask Treatment BY ALICIA HART A once-a-week mask treatment is beneficial to every type of skin. Provided cream is used afterward, a mask is especially good for dry and normal complexions that tend to wrinkle; and, when cream is omitted it is excellent for oily ones. There are various masks, of course. Practically every cosmetic company makes at least one and a few put out two or three, some that dry quickly—others which take longer. Your choice must depend on the length of time you can devote to beauty. If you prepare your own mask — an easy job to do. less expensive and more satisfactory—try that old favorite, whipped egg. Simply take one fresh egg. separate the yolk from the white and beat each one lightly in a bowl. Clean your skin with soap and water, pat on skin tonic, dry and apply a thin layer of the beaten white. Let dry, and smooth on a coat of the yolk. Then, without speaking, laughing or wrinkling up your face in any way whatsoever. lie down for 20 minutes. As you rest, try to think only pleasant thoughts so the corners of your mouth will turn up and your brow will remain calm. If you can, don't think at all. There's a good deal to be said in favor of letting your mind be blank for a few minutes now and then. It helps to eliminate worry lines. Os course, this is a trick that takes practice. Start this way: Gaze at some small, rather colorless object, concentrating on it, thinking of notl .ag else. In about three minutes, slowly close your eyes, still visioning and thinking of the little object. Don't concentrate so keenly on it now. but don't let other thoughts crowd themselves into your mind. Gradually, as you practice, thoughts of the object will fade. If other thoughts do creep m. they 11 seem hazy and far away. When you perfect this state of mind, undoubtedly you’ll fall asleep. When you get up. rinse off the mask, first with warm water, then with cold and unless your skin is oily, pat on rich tissue cream. When you have removed it, use skin tonic again. Remember that any kind of mask must be smoothed on skin which is scrupulously clean and, to get full benefit, ought to be left on until quite dry. LIFE IN INDIA TO BE LECTURE TOPIC R. K. Das. noted lecturer, is to talk on life in India at a dinner meeting of the Woman's Rotary Club at 6.30 tonight at the Propylaeum Club. The program also is to include a group of oriental songs by Mrs. Lenore Ivey Frederickson, with Mrs. Neal Ireland, accompanist.

Draping the figure gracefully fur less formal occasions, crystelle velvet increases the vogue for luxury fabrics and Renaissance colorings, rich and vibrant. This fabric is used for the cartridge pleated dinner dress, the shirred dinner dress, and the very feminine hostess gown, photographed in the group above.

Planned Program of Living Best for Most Persons

by OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE favorite cartoon of today pokes fun at. the child liberators Behold a much-bored youngster saying to his mother, or his teacher, “Do we. have to do whatever we want to do again today?” I knew it would come to this. Present any one with too much time and too little to do and he becomes the weariest person on earth. We all need direction. Few of j us are capable of originating ideas, i We like to have our lives planned and our time proportioned although we may growl about monotony and grin and all that. 1 Children are the same way. They do better under routine. They do better under the 7—12—6 system for meals and the same bedtime hours. Scramble their days and in a week they will wonder what is wrong. Working With Purpose Programs are great things—regular hours for everything and to be told what to do with those hours. Give a little fellow a carpenter box and a board. Say, “Now go to it. son, and make something.” For that day he will saw, hammer and plane from sheer joy of the tools in his hand. But at the end of the day he will have a queer mixture of nothing. “What is it, boy?” you ask. "Well, I started out to make a box, then I thought I'd make a wagon, and it sort of turned into a—well,! nothing much, I guess.” In a few days he won't look at his tools. On the other hand, if we say, “Buddy, try and build me a bird house to nail on that maple tree. Go and look at the one over at Mr. Barnes’ and try to get the idea.” Then Buddy, under suggestion and direction and with a definite purpose, will handle his tools with anew interest. Definite purpose is the secret of content in work. I use this illustration, but it typifies a thousand things, large and small. One of them'is the school system. Experimental schools are frankly what tfaey name implies. As vet

they claim nothing they have not proved. Looser System Advocated It is inevitable that in making a change from our old rigid system that we over-step in some directions. And I think there is danger here. Most experimental schools are keeping an eye on this very mat- j ter of too much independence on the child's part, and too little di- j rection from the supervisors, i They know that the directed child, I working under orders, is better offJ than the one at a loose end. Mental confusion, a feeling of fu- j tility, and torpid minds and bodies will result if children are left too much on their own. But there are still the extremists who believe in the looser system. There is, of course, a time, in j the nursery school especially, when the let-alone method is best. There is a real reason for this. However, as a child develops, it looks for and needs a considerable amount of direction. Let us not become too radical in our liberty movement.

“little evening'' fashion—a great improvement over our laissezfaire attitud° of previous seasons. Individuality and dramatic qualities in this type of dress are achieved by lovely colors and queenly fabrics. The intensive use of red, the royal presence cf purple and purplish blues suggest a jubilee note in the rich velvets. Crystelle velvet, that deep-pile fabric that drapes so beautifully, appears in an imposing range of Renaissance colorings, such as rich plum, burnt orange, deep purples, vivid blues and glowing reds. a a a TWO dinner dresses and one hostess gown, photographed on today's page, indicate the important styling that crystelle velvet inspires. It may be cartridge pleats for drama, it may be tiered collar and tiered sleeves, or it may be shirring that follows the natural curve of the figure that interpret dressmaker detail and add flattering importance to the informal evening mode.

Dependence Often Cause of Troubles Hanging on to Lost Love Is Mistake, Asserts Jane Jordan. Dear Jane Jordan—Who is right, myself or my friend? She is a woman who has been married several years. She and her husband quarreled practically all of the time. He seldom ever took her any place and he always was out having a good time himself. She always has worked and there are no children. About two years ago her husband

left her and she never sees him except when she hunts him up and begs him to come back to her. I tell her that I would be more independent and file for a. divorce. Then if he didn't want to come back I would consider myself well rid of a man who had made such an

unhappy life for me. She sits around being true to him, but does he appreciate that fact? Surely not when he doesn't think enough of her even to want to see her! I would get rid of him and hunt for someone who would make me happy. AM I WRONG. Answer—Of course not. There is no devastation more bitter than that which follow? emotional dependence upon one who has ceased to want it. The only flaw which I have to find in your advice to your friend is that you simply advise her to repeat her mistake with somebody else, instead of building on her own center. I do not mean that it is good to live alone, but only that one can not safely seek fulfillment through another person if that is his only way of life. “I would hunt for someone who would make me happy.” How about hunting for someone whom she could make happy? When a woman hangs on forever to a love which once gave promise, it is seldom selfish love which motivates her, hut merely fear of another disappointment. The continued maintenance of a stubborn martyrdom indicates that the individual is too discouraged to make a fresh start. “Him or nobody” is the cry of the undisciplined child who has not learned to take no for an answer rather than the sentiment of the mature personality in love. ana Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl 22 years old and I go with a boy of 21. We have gone together for three years and have set dates for our marriage two or three times. Then he backs out. I think a lot of him but at times I get so disgusted I don’t ever want to see him again. He has stepped out on me once and every time I think of it it hurts me so that I can hardly stand it. He talks so much about other girls he has gone with that I don’t know how to figure him out. I have been married. Would that have anything to do with the way he acts? DOT. Answer —I doubt if your former marriage has anything to do with, your bov friend’s decision. It strikes me that he is trying to overcome a strong instinctive no against marriage and I believe that you are wrong not to re-

Joan Crawford, Recent Bride, D isciisses Pots and Pans

BY HELEN WORDEN NEW YORK. Oct. 28.—“1 know pots and pans,” said Joan Crawford, in an interview here in her honeymoon suite at the Waldorf-Astoria. “I’ve been buying them ever since I had a nickel to spend!” Miss Crawford and Franchot Tone, her new husband, are shopping for the furnishings of their Hollywood kitchen. The kitchen is all that needs final attention in an old Spanish hacienda she bought several years ago at Brentwood, a Hollywood suburb. “Whenever I finished a picture, I did over a room,” Joan explained. "By taking them one at a time, I did not feel I was being extravagant. I also found I could correct spect it. When a man fails to keep an engagement to get married two or three times it only can mean that he has no real interest in the prospective partnership. a a a Dear Jane Jordan —I have a young friend of 24 who has had about two years in Indiana University. She has a good position, good looks but is inatelv shy. She has carved out a niche for herself by writing for the pulp magazines and is considered one of the best. Her problem is that she has no satisfying social contacts. Is there a club or society into which she could fit and feel that she could find both mental stimulus and social satisfaction? She can not join the Asso ciation of University Women as she was not in college quite two years. M. M. Answer—She is eligible for membership in the Woman's Press Club or the Association of American Penwomen.

my mistakes, as I-went. The kitchen's going to be perfect!" Mr. and Mrs. Tone have collaborated on it. One day tlmy purchased two dozen dish towels, on a dozen blue dish cloths, half a dozen tablet jars, one dozen ice box dishes, a rheeso knife, spatula, set of measuring spoons, three chopping bowls and one Ding set. “The kind you use for putting flub-dubs on a cake.” said the movie star. “Do you coek?" I asked “I should say 1 do!" She drew her blue silken clad pajama legs up on the nile green satin couch. “That’s why I like to buy my own pots and pans!" “What dishes do you specialize in?” “Black-eyed peas and spare ribs. I'm just an old-fashioned girl!” She studied her slimly-pointed, ruby tipped nails. The pea-sheller got her. “I never have seen anything like it in Hollywood,” she said, “and we can’t touch New York when it comes to pots and pans!" Joan Crawford and her husband have left for their 18-room hacienda, with its private swimming pool, bathhouse, theater and landseaped gardens in Hollywood, “whieh is a sleepy, little country village compared to New York," she said.
