aStrangf. Casf.-/Julia Craig by Nard Jones Copyright NEA i?j6

BEGIN HEBE TODAY Julia Craig, pretty young secretary to George Woodford of the law firm of Woodford & Brooks, is ambitious to become a night club singer. Julia shares an apartment with Amy Sanders. Peter Kemp, also employed by Woodford & Brooks, is in love with Julia, but she discourages his attentions. He gives Julia a letter of introduction to Henri Lamb, band leader, but, in the letter, asks Lamb not to give her a job. Juiia discovers this, tells Peter everything over between them. Royal Nesbitt, wealthy, with many influential friends, comes to the apartment to see Amy. He hears Julia sing and promises to help her find a job. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIVE FOR several days following Royal Nesbitt's visit, Julia was buoyed oy the thought of his unmistakable enthusiasm for her singing. And Amy assured her continuously that Nesbitts influence was wide —and that he never made a promise idly. But a week went by, then another, and she heard nothing more from Nesbitt. He did not visit Amy, and Julia’s roommate had to admit that he hadn’t telephoned the shop since the night he had said. “You can go places, Julia. I’m going to see that you do.” “I’m afraid he was just being nice to me. because he likes you,” Julia told Amy. “Don’t you believe it. You’ll hear something from him when you least expect it. I wouldn't be surprised if he calls up any day now and says he has a tryout arranged for you.” Julia laughed, but not too happily. “I’m sure you’re the most incurable optimist in the world, Amy!” When another week went by and she did not hear from Nesbitt she was sure she never would. He had, she told herself, tried to be polite —and now he was avoiding Amy as well as herself. “He must think me a fool,” she thought. “And . . . perhaps I am.” a a a BUT nevertheless she held stoutly to her purpose. The brush with Henri Lamb had served only to bring out a certain stubborn strength in her. Too. she wanted terribly to show Peter Kemp that such an effortless trick as he had played on her was not nearly enough to discourage her in the ambition to become a singer in a night club. The bitterness was in feeling defeat before she could even begin. She thought of applying at some of the entertainment agencies, but she pictured in her mind an ogre of an agent, dark and cynical, who would demand to know if she’d had experience. And laugh when she said she hadn’t. One night after work she did muster the courage to try one of the radio stations. The man who hired “the talent” was courteous enough, but he showed Julia a waiting list which looked like a page from the city directory. He told her. too, that as an unknown and untried singer she might have to suffer a period of anonymity even when she got her chance. Then he told her something more. “You’re too charming a girl to hide yourself unseen on a radio program. The audience that hears you should be allowed the benefit of seeing you, too!” nun IT WAS a pretty compliment, but did not further Julia in her deiergainatiQU. Row. 3WKS Uwl 9YSS

she wanted to leave Woodford & Brooks. Although her chief work was as secretary to George Woodford, a certain number of daily conferences with Peter Kemp were always necessary. These Julia suffered with the dignity of an employe who knows her conferee only during business hours. Once Peter dropped his mask in sudden desperation and tried again for forgiveness. “I do forgive you,” Julia told him quietly. “I’d quite forgotten the matter.” It was a white lie and Peter knew it, but he said, “Then let’s be friends again.” “We are friends,” Julia answered. “Now about this Parrington contract. ...” It was no use. Peter pulled himself together and resumed the discussion of the contract. He did not try again to break through her reserve, but each time she saw him Julia was reminded that she hadn’t yet been able to make good on her plans for the future. a a a /”XNCE she thought of quitting Woodford & Brooks, but quickly realized how foolish this would be. Even ordinary office jobs were still somewhat difficult to obtain. It would be no laughing matter to leave a job she knew she was equipped to do—and go searching foi one that might never, for her, exist. But the truth remained that Julia Craig was a songbird by nature. She wanted to sing, had to sing. Many people who are not great singers have such an urge. And not every singer the world knows as great has it. But Julia did. Perhaps that was the secret of the spell she could cast when she sang. Certainly it was the thing which had provoked Amy Sanders to say, “You can make these modern songs sound wonderful, even when the tune’s not so good and the words are just silly.” a a a SET into the walnut paneling of George Woodford's; office was a radio. Woodford's claim was that he had a radio installed in his office in orde- that clients might be entertained should he have to leave them for a moment. But the truth of the matter was that it was used primarily for tha entertainment of George Woodford. He was a wealthy lawyer now, one of the wealthiest men in the city, and he had long since ceased to drive himself. The younger men in the firm did the actual work, and only occasionally did Woodford himself apoear in court: and he met only the more important clients who visitea the offices. Sometimes when Woodford w r as gone, and a tedious stretch of work had fatigued her, Julia would step from her own little office and try one of the afternoon programs. Usually she searched out a recording program, one that might include a record by a favorite orchestra. Then she would stand looking out of the window, dreamily humming the tune—or. if she knew the lyric, singing in a husky half-whisper. On this particular day she had read in the newspaper an advertisement of a well-known food comJWj Stating uaex ; . . , /Si. ;.-v V,1.1. .

were sponsoring an air program featuring a famous orchestra. Woodford had been out of the building all morning; and, remembering the advertisement. Julia slipped to the radio and turned the dials. a a a IT was an orchestra that had won its reputation deservedly, and Julia listened entranced. Her gaze was out the window, but she saw neither the milling throngs in the street below, nor the dingy rooftop of the building next door. It was an orchestra whose insinuating rhythm made her want to dance and sing at once. Presently they launched into one of her favorite modern tunes. Julia began to sing it in a whisper—but before the chorus was finished she was singing it clearly, oblivious to the world. The music stopped suddenly on a low, plaintive note. Then, while she still stood there, an all-too-familiar voice said, “Very good. Miss Craig.” It was George Woodford. Julia turned, blushing furiously. “I—l’m sorry, Mr. Woodford.” “Sorry?” he exclaimed, tossing his hat and overcoat on one of the big leather chairs. “Why should any one be sorry for singing? You shouldn’t apologize for that. Especially when you sing so beautifully.” a a a HE stood regarding her curiously, a little as if he were seeing her for the first time. Embarrassed unuer his steady gaze, Julia said, “I’d better get to work.” She smiled, ruefully, and switched off the radio. “Just a moment, Miss Craig. That was really very nice. I took the liberty of listening all the way through it. Have you ever done anything like that—professionally, I mean?” “No .. .” she faltered. “I—l’ve thought I might like it.” Woodford’s eyebrows raised in astonishment. “You have?” He laughed pleasantly. “I’d never dreamed it. You always seemed so —so blamed efficient and full of the law business. Matter of fact. Miss Craig, you’ve made me ashv-ed of myself sometimes. Here j are—young and—well, attract —a;'d you seem to worry more about th; firm than I do. I certainly never dreamed you had ambitions to gj on the stage.” “Oh, it’s not that exactly, Mr. Woodford, I mean—l haven't been thinking about the stage. I know I haven’t a very remarkable voice. It’s just sort of adaptable to these Tin Pan Alley songs.” “Then you want to be a night club singer, eh?” “That’s about it, Mr. Woodford.” “Have you tried any of them?” “Just ore. There wasn't anything.” “Hmm ■ . Woodford cat down at his desk, seemed to be studying the pattern of the polished walnut. Then he looked up at Julia again. “One thing certain. I wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t try to help you. You wouldn’t mind singing for a private party, would you?” “Why—no.” Woodford hesitated a moment. Then: “You see, I'm giving a little psrty on my boat over the weekend. would you like to come along and sing for them? Os course I’ll pay you—and there’ll be a fellow along who ought to be able to get you something if he likes your voice. You've heard of smith Garland.”

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League T BELIEVE you will find 1936 contract a better and more enjoyable game. When contract started, mathematics predominated in the various systems. Players were taught to coun the number of tricks in their Hands, to make an opening bid or to raise partner. but now we find lfe'36 bidding principles are nothing more than methods of reasoning, nther than mathematics. You will enjoy contract under the new system. You will bj able to devote more time to the study and the play of the hand, now that all players use practically the same bidding methods. Remember, bridge is a battle of wits. You have to try to outwit your opponents. An example of that is given in today’s hand. The Play , Against three no trump. West opened the six of spades. South, of course, won the trick with the ace. Now, before playing to the next trick, he should stop &nd take in-

heart and two diamond tricks Where should the other two tricks be developed? If declarer can get into dummy to take the diamond finesse, and the queen is right, vhat will develop one trick, and if the club ace ii held by West, that would be another one; but that is expecting too much. What declarer should do is to lead the seven of hearts, hoping to find the king of hearts in the West hand. Now, when this hand was played. West played the four of hearts on South’s seven and the trick was won in dummy with the ten. The diamond finesse was taken, and declarer made five diamonds, two spades, and three hearts for four no trump. West, if he had been on the job, could have reasoned that South must have had the ace, jueen and jack of hearts to make a heart bid, and therefore should have gone in with his king. This would have defeated the contract. (Copyright, 193 e, by NEA Service, Inc.) Holds Annual Bridge Omicron chapter, Chi Sigma sorority, held its annual bridge party today in Wm. H.

Beauticians Put Hair Treatment Ahead of Dress BY ALICIA HART Judging from the array of scalp preparations shown at the National Hairdressers’ Convention, beauticians are putting health treatment* ahead of new coiffure styles. There were the usual displays of exotic curls and swirls, of course, but these were far outnumbered by the exhibits of tonics, oils, shampoos and concoctions to improve the condition of scalp and hair. If your own hair is dull and lifeless, too oily or too dry. why not plan to spend a little extra money out of your beauty budget on routines to make it glossy and lovely? It is better to go without a wave for a month or two. spending ths wave money for treatments, than to go on with dandruff or some other disagreeable defect. If you pick an operator who understands how to deal with your special trouble, treatments for two months should cur® it. Get Shampoo Every Week If you have dandruff, get a scalp massage and a balsam oil shampoo every week for two months. If you can’t afford a balsam shampoo and a flngerwave, wear your hair straight and get the shampoo anyway. Hot oil is excellent for dry hair. Remember, of course, that r.- matter how efficient you- oper—or or expensive his treatments, you must do your part at home. Brush nightly and, if possible, massage your hair brush when you have finished. If you have dandruff, sterilize it a® well. If you seldom go to a beauty shop, learn to care for your scalp and to shampoo in a professional manner at home. Use hot oil the night before a shampoo, wash hair with a reliable shampoo liquid and rinse several times, using a hand spray, of course. If possible dry in th®
