‘How Father Got Child Before Answering.

Get your troubles off your miind by Writing to (Jame Jordan, whe will help you with your decisions by her answers in this column,

EAR JANE JORDAN— Three years ago I was diyorced. There was a child, a little girl 4 years old. I

loved her more than life. Her * happiness was all that mattered. ~My husband could | give her everything [that I would not be able to put $4 a week support money.

He told me that it was ght for her mind to be

ese three years have been ost miserable of my entire am now 25. There hasn’t

I've grieved conI’ve shed so many tears

gged him to release me y promise, to let me see ut I've been completely

I've paid dearly I only was thinking of her welfare. I am at the place now Where I am about to go mad. What can I do? Is there any possible solution to my problem? Please help me. LOUEVA. ANSWER: What did your hus- ; band) have on you to make you agree ouch a ridiculous arrangement? I-feel that he must have been holding something over your head to terrify you into giving up your child. You haven't told me the whole story of your separation and therefore I can't answer you intelligently at all. If you were coerced into making a promise which you now ‘regret, what makes you think you ‘have to stick to it? If you have ‘given no offense, done nothing to make you unfit to bring up your / daughter, take your problem to ‘the court and get justice. ‘This is what you should have done at (the time of your divorce when the child was only 4 years old. A mother has to have a preity ‘bad record before the court will take so young a child away from her. . Your story sigply doesn’t hold water. If your ex-husband is able to give the little girl so many material advantages, why wasn't he able to pay more than $4 support money? Furthermore, the welfars of a child does not consist wholly of financial ease. It can not’ be good for a young child to tear it away from its mother if she is a decent, responsible person, I suspect your husband of being motiSated by the desire to hurt: you ore than from any unselfish congideration of what would be good for the little girl. What are the facts which you have withheld?

BY W. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary RIDGE players have learned, by the slow process of trial and error, that certain combinations of cards call for plays. differing slightly from the stereotyped handling of a suit. ~ For instance, it is.almost automatic for a player holding acequeen and a number of small cards in a suit to lead the suit from the opposite hand and finesse the queen, if the king has not been played. This play sometimes gains a trick, but there are many times when it will lose. Thus, with - a combination like A-Q-9-8-6 in one hand and: 5-4-3’ in the other, ore trick in the suit must be lost, regardless of how the five cards are held in the opposing hands, because the king, jack, and ten are missing, If there are enough entries in the hand with the small cards, the best play is not to finesse, but to lay down the ace, then enter dummy and lead a card toward the queen, deciding on the subsequent play by the card played from second hand. | It was knowledge of the added element of safety through the play of the ace first that enabled East to make his contract| on today’s hand. North's bid of two monds ‘was made merely to show his partner that he had some strength. His subsequent double was highly speculative. |

East won the opening club lead in his own hand. It was a marked singleton, and ‘showed that South had at least two trumps; otherwise, he would not attempt :to ‘get a ruff with one of them. "i

East then laid down the ace of

spades, and led a diamond 'to dummy. This was .won with the ace, and a low spade was returned. North played the ten. East played the eight, and South won. with the king. Thereafter, North and South won two ‘diamond tricks, and “East made his, contract as a result of his

“batting” — flat cotton — laid between, is all that is needed. Show her how to turn in edges and baste together. Thread coarse needle with baby ribbon. Draw needle through comfort so as to leave long stitches, like big basting-stitches. -Cut between each, and tie in bows. Around the edge, a blanket stitch makes a good finish. Any child can do the whole thing if she can work with a needle at all. ie Cretonne Makes Gay Gifts Then, get cretonne. Nothing lends itself to gay little gifts like its splashy color. A whole bunch of things can be made from it. For instance, cut two pieces five inches wide and 11 inches long, and have Betty sew: them together along the end with overstitch. What have you? A half-grown sewing case, or an envelope for hair-nets or bobby: To complete for the latter, fold one-third of the way, sew edges {ogether with over and overstitch, and then bring flap down. Mother, you can put on loop and button. For a sewing-case, all Betty has to do, is fo run some stitches down to make three compartments in the envelope. E 4 “For variations, show her how take these two same pieces of material, cut a trifle wider for flap, leaving the side open this time, in stead of the end, so it opens lengthwise. Two capes can be added to fasten. Or ribbon. If you can slip in some rubber cloth, they. make fine additions to the travel set. But children are made happy by creating, so the usefulness is less important than the boon of production. : Boys can work in wood or paint. Too bad, if you haven't saved up ‘wooden boxes of all sizes through the year; but get hold of little or big ones if you can. Then the fun begins. The world has gone box mad, from modernistic book 2ases (three boxes tiered in receding sizes from the floor), to cigaret cases. Quick-drying paint in good shades, give grand results. ‘Then get some stencils at a sta-

tionery store. They: cost so little |

and the design can either be applied by wetting the transfers and laying on, or the open ones are used, applying. a contrasting color with the brush. There you are. ‘A flower= basket, a silhouette, or a scene. Just like that. If there is no wood, then hunt up old, but. firm, hat-bexes, and get pretty wallpaper. One or two for mother or Aunt Hattie help to furnish a room.

Delinquency of Juveniles Topic Of Du Shane Talk

There are sufficient agencies in existence now to eliminate 80 per cent of the juvenile delinquency: if they were organized and co-ordi-nated properly, according to Donald

Du Shane, Columbus (Ind.). school

superintendent and Indiana Society for Mental Hygiene president. Mr. Du Shane addressed the Indianapolis Council of Women’s meeting yesterday afternoon at:the Wm. H. Block Co. auditorium. “Schools should be the chief means of adjusting children,” he said. “But they are limited because of precedent and for financial reasons to academic rather than behavior problems. Recreational guidance offered by Boy and Girl Scouts, the Y. W. C. A. and

Y. M. C.-A,, etc, is a valuable force.

“If we had 100 deaths from

| smallpox, we would do -something

about it, but we are afflicted with a disease which does not take 100, but hundreds of children’s lives,” he continued.

Indiana children are normal gen-

erally, he said, and only. a few are abnormal mentally and physically. “It’s when they can’t get social approval, success and a feeling of superiority in some one. line, in one way, that they try to get it in another.” ;

For Appetite

Commencing Dinner With

Salad Suggested for Routine Break.

By NEA Service

wake up the appetite. dinner with a salad—yes, they do in California, and that, you know, is a state where good food ranks with good climate. In a large bowl place crisp lettuce leaves, some chopped green pepper, celery tops, a whisper of onion, anything else that’s green and succuleut—pour on French dressing, take two knives, criss cross until the is chopped, serve on cold plates, and presto—that’s a refreshing appetizer. Artichokes, celery hearts (cooked), asparagus — all those things make excellent first courses. Try this rearrangement and you will understand the value

of sheck. Creamed Greens "Did you ever e lettuce or watercress creamed as 8 vegetable to embellish the meat course? Lettuce makes a mild and decidely unusual dish—boiled lightly in salted water, drained, chopped coarsely and enriched by a light and conservatively used cream sauce. And watercress, ‘cooked the same way, conceals its rich white mantle a nature piquant and spicy enough to brighten any menu, Carrot sticks are growing in popularity.. They make a brilliant first course arranged in well-controlled nonchalance on an hors d’oeuvre

| dish. ' Scrape firm young carrots, | then slice lengthwise into long narirow strips. Stand” in

salted ice vater until they are firm. Then ap in a wet napkin and in that napkin wrap also a clove or two .of garlic. Chill. Before serving remove garlic—only the memory will linger on—and arrange the carrots in inviting stacks. Pears for the salad course—that’s a shocking thought. Try it. Pere fect - fruit—Bosc, Anjou, Comice, these are now in the markets—with a small sharp fruit knife on the salad plate served between meat course and dessert. Or if you want your pears to wait untii dessert time, then send them to table accompanied by some smooth, fairly soft type of cheese. Crackers, yes, and there you are—familiar foods in novel positions and the appetite with a new idea in its head.
