BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor WITH an eye for elegance, a taste for luxury and a nose for values, Miss Gene Huddleston, an accomplished art student at John Herron art school, displayed a sixth sense in her selection of this alluring house coat of Dresden taffeta. | -— r —

Small wonder that she is so charmingly pleasant about an early morning telephone call when it can be met with such shimmering beauty of costume. The exquisite colorings of the nosegays that dot this ivory taffeta negligee must be seen to be appreciated. It is of Gibson girl type with wide lapels and sweeping skirt that give a balanced formula dramatic enough for appearing at breakfast or the dinner table with perfect poise. n u HOUSE coats Os taffeta, crepe and cotton sheers are the leading spirits of this season. They may have been called to life by such

actresses as Helen Hayes in her costume play, “Victoria Regina.” They are like something out of Greuze and yet so wearable and graceful as to find favor with all femimmty. The open-toed gold mules Miss Huddleston is wearing would assuage the gloom of any morning-after! They follow the trends of evening shoe fashions with their well-shaped low French heels. Cocktail mules of satin are finding hordes of idols among the inner circle of sophisticates as well, for they serve on the dance floor as successfully as they do in the boudoir. butlerlcappas WILL HAVE TEA Butler Chapter, Kappa Kappa Grmma Sorority, is to entertain with a fleur delis tea from 2 to 5 Sunday. Mrs. Jack Gu’ling is to pour. Miss Lucil’e Broich, chairman. is to be assisted by Misses Dana Wilking, Jeanne Mitchell, Jeanne Spencer, Betty Weier and Mary Wynne.

J*ne Jordan ia a local woman employed by The Times to help you with your most difficult problems. Avail yourself of this service today! Dear Jane Jordan—l am faced with two problems so closely related that I can't tell one without the jDther. I am 24 years old and the mother of three children. My oldest boy is in his first’term of school.

Yesterday I received notice that he is failing in his studies. He is selfish, pouts and when he doesn’t receive praise for his efforts, refuses to try again. I was 18 and unmarried when he was born. His 18-year-old father paid my expenses, but refused marriage beoause of

his age and- family influence. After my son's birth I married and have tried whole-heartedly to be a good wife to him. He drinks, gambles and has cheap affairs which he flaunts before his friends. His friends and my son do not know that my husband isn’t the father of my first child. My husband believes I love him and still finds me desirable but has no inclination to change. I’ve stood by him in all his scrapes and my family has taken care of us time after time. At home he openly declares his affection for his own first born and jealousy is beginning to have a strong effect on my son. I am not blaming my husband for this for I took my chances but I don’t know what to do. BEWILDERED MOTHER. Answer—Think of yourself as a sculptor who must hew a work of art from inflexible materials. He does not discard his granite, rock or marble for putty or clay, but patiently and persistently labors with hard surfaces until form and beauty appears. The situation you have to work with is tough material indeed. Many of us find ourselves in situations where no immediate rearrangement is possible. We simply must cope with things as they are.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary WHEN your opponent to the right opens the bidding, you are in ei defensive position and any bid that you make is known as an overcall. From a bidding viewpoint, you may hold two types of a hand: 1. A hand strong enough to make a minimum overcall. You do not hav.e hopes of game, but you merely wish to interfere with the opponent’s bidding. 2. A hand with considerable strength, so that you still feel

brary is full of’ books filled with valuable and usable information. Start with child psychology. Much that you learn about children will help you with your husband. His troubles arise from the fact that he himself is not yet adult and finds his responsibilities too heavy to be shouldered. Let us check his behavior. He drinks: Is not this an attempt to blur the sharp edges of reality and bolster himself up with artificial courage? He gambles: Is not this a childish attempt to get something for nothing? He has cheap affairs: What can this be but the need for conquest felt by a weak ego? Your family has taken care of you time after time: Someone to fall back on is the need of the undergraduates of the nursery. You must find courage from some source to encourage your child and your husband, neither of whom feel adequate to cope with reality. Close, sympathetic co-op-eration with your child and his teachers will help him to succeed. The inferiority which he feels from his father’s preference for his brother is less than he would have felt as a child without any father at all. With adroit handling you can teach him to compensate for his heartaches by forging ahead instead of retreating.

that a gp.me may be made, in spite of the fact that the opponents have opened the bidding, if you can find reasonable strength and a good fit in your partner’s hand. Today, let us consider the simple defensive overcall. If the opponent opens the bidding with one heart, are you justified in overcalling with one spade, holding the following hand: First, you must remember that you never are justified in running a great risk by injecting this “nuisance” overcall bid. The maximum justifiable risk is covered by the rule of two and three. Thus, if you are vulnerable, you should not run the risk of being defeated more than two tricks, while if you are not vulnerable you may possibly risk a three-trick set. In or.her words, justification for a defensive overcall is determined by the playing trick strength of the hand. If your overcall is at the level of one (contracting to win seven tricks), your hand should contain a minimum of four playing tricks when you are not vulnerable, and five sure winning tricks when you are vulnerable. If the overcall must be made at the level of two, then you need five playing tricks when you are not vulnerable, and six sure winning tricks when you are vulnerable. If it must be made at the level of three, an additional winner is needed in each case. You will note that ‘sure winning tricks” are essential in over-

risk when you are vulnerable; The theory here is that you are never justified in running a great rick when you are vulnerable; uncertain risks may be taken only when you are not vulnerable. When you overcall, how strong must your suit be? At the level of one. a five-card biddable suit or an almost solid four-card suit is essential. At the three level, you should hold a strong rebiddable suit containing at least four sure winners. From the standpoint of essential honor tricks for an overcall bid, the hand should contain a minimum of \Vz honor tricks in each case. Therefore, you are justified in overcalling one spade, with the hand above, for it contains two honor tricks and four playing tricks with spades as trump. Even if your partner’s hand is a complete bust, you are unlikely to be defeated more than three tricks, not vulnerable, and, in that case your penalty would be offset by a sure game in your opponent’s hands.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

hands with 2400 members of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This is the largest group of ladies which comes here in the spring. But it is not the only group that has been here today.

This morning, after a short and rather early ride. I received the Aboretum Club of Massachusetts. 300 strong, a small group of teachers from Boston, and the mother of one of my son's friends. Mrs. Scheider and I were alone for lunch today except for one friend, a man who is one of those rare people quite willing to give of himself unstintingly in the interest of others. At the moment he is doing rather a hard job. and yet, ha seems to keep both his head and his temper under rather trying circumstances.

Mrs. Roosevelt

I always wonder what the quality is which makes it possible for an individual to be deeply interested in something and still not feel too personal about it. Most of us tend to make something so much our own of whatever we are doing that we can not evaluate our work. I have a feeling that this man is selfless. Enough to even recognize his own shortcomings. A rare quality ind~cd. Such a beautiful day, and as we continue to have crowds of visitors in Washington. I am more than glad to have the weather favorable, for sight-seeing is less agreeable on rainy days. It is nice to have more and more people coming to see their Capital City. Someone said to me this morning, people must have more money to spend or they would not be coming in such tremendous numbers. The president-elect of Cuba and Senora De Gomez, the Cuban ambassador, Dr. Julio Morales Coello, the under-secretary of state of Cuba, and Dr. Francisco Arango Romero, secretary to the president-elect, have just had tea with us, as we unfortunately had to give up having them for dinner and the night of Tuesday.
