He is a nice boy, good looka car of his own, plenty of

NSWER—The King of England stutters, and the Queen apparently is not overcome with shame. Somerset Maugham stutters, but it hasn't interfered with his literary achievements, although doubtless it has caused him considerable personal embarrassment. Demos thenes stuttered, yet he became the greatest of Greek orators in spite
of it, perhaps mecause of it.
Stuttering is thought to be a psychological difficulty which can be helped, if not cured, by the aid of a psychiatrist, or even by the indi-
vidual’'s own efforts. If the young
man has learned to live with his
handicap without minding it too much, it would be too bad for him to be discouraged by the realization that you are ashamed of him. After all, stuttering has nothing to do with his personal worth, and only shallow, trivial or cruel people could find it in their hearts to laugh. Try not to take it so seriously,

DEAR JANE JORDAN—My sister died in April and left seven children. The youngest is a year and nine months old, the oldest a
girl of 14 in high school.
The other five are in the tuberculosis sani-
tarium. Their father is no good. He beats the girl all the time. He won't do anything for them. I can’t take the oldest girl and the baby in my house because the man I go with doesn’t like them.
I see now I'm not really in love with him. Is there any way I

SQUEEZED BY LONG SUIT
Today’s Contract Problem
South is playing a grand slam contract in hearts. The club finesse wins, but South still holds an apparent loser in that suit. Since East has made an overcall in spades, he probably is marked with the king of that suit. How can Soufh use this knowledge about the key cards to gain the 13th trick?

Problem BY WM. E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary ERHAPS South was unduly optimistic. Possibily first round control of every suit, and one long and fairly solid suit is net enough justification for a small slam. But South was to blame, so was] North, North had shown both spades | and clubs, and all that South | gambled on was that one of the three sfiits in the partnership hands would run, and thereby make a squeeze effective against one opponent or the other. Todays hand is an interesting example of a fairly common if usually unrecognized situation, one where no trump, with no power to ruff, will produce as many or more tricks than the best available suit contract. The South player who recegnized that fact was the lone top on the board in a recent duplicate game in New York. | I do not defend the bidding, I merely record it. While Easl by his double is asking for a spade or a club lead, West, with a suit that must establish one round, and

with a sure stop of the oniy suit
shown by the declarer, could not
be greatly blamed for deciding to
establish a heart trick.
Even a spade lead would not have changed the result.
South won the first trick with the ace. He then laid down two rounds of diamonds, only to learn that West had held six originally. He then led the ace of clubs and followed with another club, and dummy proceeded to cash all the club tricks. South discarded two hearts, one
| diamond, and one spade. West, who
had to make five discards, threw two diamonds and three. hearts. East had to discard only twice, and parted with one spade and one heart. The next play was a spade from dummy, which was won with the ace. South now led the nine of hearts, putting West into the lead. At this point West held only the jack and nine of diamonds, and was forced to lead up to declarer’s tenace. Squeezing power of a long suit
| again was demonstrated.

This is the fourth of a series of articles on Christmas gift suggestions for every member of the family.

T just won't be Christmas for mother unless she is swamped with
some personal extravagances!
“Santa’s name should be glamour this year,” explains Mrs. R. J. O'Riley, 4340 Park-av, a modern mother who feels that we have had
enough practical, hose, sauce pans and bread-and-< butter” necessaries.” Whatever amount you plan to spend on mother’s Christmas , . . daughters, sons and husbands . . . spend it with a flair. Make a handsome gesture by buying the things mother wouldn't buy for herself but would love to have. If you've only a dollar to spend— blow it on an exquisite hand-made handkerchief. If five is the limit— make her feel like a million with a couple of pairs of colored Chantilly lace-toed gossamer hose to wear with her evening sandals . . . or make it a luxurious bottle of fresh scented cologne. She'll bless you for it because you've ignored the plain, the everyday, the banal. ” un =
WEEP aside the thought of five every day slips! With a superb gesture buy a French made nightie, dripping with lace, instead. Shoot the wad and make her eyes shine with this jeweled orchid clip of semi-precious stones which is so superbly life-like that it actually breathes. Or go halfway practical, if you must, and give her an enameled and silver electric alarm clock
STEP-BY-STEP SEWING INSTRUCTIONS, inclose 15 cents in coin together with the above pattern number and your size, your name ang address, and mail to Pattern Editor, The Indianapolis. Times, 214 W. Maryland-st, Indianapolis. If you would like to have a copy of the new WINTER PATTERN BOOK, simply add 15 cents and it will be sent you.

for the boudoir, or black patenteared mules of gold brocade. A top-handled evening bag like like this one of natural colored doe skin with gold kid trimmings will bring joy to all the feminine gender. Pull a queenly gesture and let this crown box add a touch of savoir-faire to the sheer hose which you tuck beneath its lid.
This is a “jewel” year . . . SO remember her with sparkling bracelets, brooches and clips for her gorgeous evenings out. In sum and substance: we say to the husbands of these smart young mothers . . . she mends your socks, she battles the butcher, she hoards your gold, she thinks you are wonderful, so . . on Christmas repay her with glamorous things! This frosty Marlborough blue brocaded satin house coat with its high neckline and full-pleated sleeves is “de= lovely” . . . delightful. To the daughters (Virginia and Dorothy O'Riley, in particular, since we know how their mother’s tastes run) . . . sound the high “C” in a Christmas of unrivaled splendor by cutting loose with some idiotically un-motherlike gift to make her feel altogether like a pampered heiress.

Purchase of Noel Carols
Family Singing Produces Lasting Memory In Children.
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON When you are shopping, one of the nicest things you can do, dear
lady, is to acquire a book.of Christmas carols. These are published in various forms, sometimes included in miscellaneous collections, often put up by themselves. I can recommend either or both, because if the larger book is chosen, it provides songs for different occasions. The family that sings together always has a tie that binds. Memory is so strongly associated with music that the boy or girl looking back on childhood days with mother, or dad, at the piano, and the group around the fire, will be filled with warmth and gratitude. About the carols. I have a few favorites, as most of us have, and strangely enough these are the simplest of all. Words and music can so easily be learned by children. And be sure, they will never forget.
“Silent Night” and Others
One is, of course, “Silent Night” or it was before every crooner in the land began to think it was the only beautiful carol ever written. But even at that, it should be learned by every child. Another is “A Christmas Carol.” You will identify it at once as the one the teacher used to write on the blackboard, the first lines going, “There's a Song in the Air, There's a Star in the Sky.” Another you will recognize, “Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem.” Phillips Brooks wrote it and the words are matchless. It is long, so the first and last verses could be omitted, if little folk can’t remember it all. “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night” is a lovely one. I quote the first verse to show how simple and clear it is: “While Shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around.” We must not forget the immortal “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen,” which continues after that line, if you know it, “Let nothing you dismay—" And the beginning of the second verse, “God rest ye, little children; let nothing you affright—"
Scrapbook of Carols
“Noel” is one of the most beautiful of all carols. Each year it grows in favor; so many will have heard it, I am sure. And one other, I must urge the family to learn, as it is ageless. At Christmas it exact~

ly expresses the thoughts we so earnestly want to put into words. It is “The Angel's Song,” by Edmund Hamilton Sears. An old friend. The first line is, “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.” There are other happy little songs
for little children, the jolly, merry tunes that still continue to ring in our hearts for years after the milestones have separated us from those early Christmases. If you take a child’s magazine, or have come across these jingles fortuitously, do save them. Keep a scrapbook of all music. Sometimes a song will be published that fades into limbo, worthy of a better fate. You will have it for other years, even if the music shop can’t place it. But as for the carols, they live on and on. This is why I suggest they be memorized. They should be given first place, (Copyright, 19036, NEA Service Inc.)

South Americans’ Dinner Resembles Favorite Of New England.
By NEA Service Any American visitor from New England to the Inter-American
Peace Conference at Buenos Aires | would feel right at home. The Ar-
{ | gentines have a dish that resembles
the New England boiled dinner. Called “puchero,” it combines shoulder of mutton, lamb or veal, cut in large pieces, cooked up in a stew with whole sweet potatoes, summer squash, whole ears of corn, and a few pieces of rich sausage tor piquancy. To make it, the American cook would use enougin of each to produce a stew large enough for her family and carry on her boiled din ner recipe. The sausage is different, cf course, and the sweet potatoes may seem odd. But wait until you taste it. Serve in the largest family turecen and pass slices of long hard bread, cut on the bias. With this puchero, the Argentines serve a hot vinegrette sauce with chopped hard cooked eggs added. They call if salsa verde—green sauce.
Sweetest of Sweets
The popular wine of the country, called Trapiche, always appears at meal time. And for dessert, there will he Dulce de Leche. It is simply fresh milk in this proportion—11 ounces sugar to one quart milk and vanilla bean to taste. It is boiled very slowly until it gets slightly thick and changes to a rich color. It is stirred frequently and served in a large bowl. Sweet—quite! But also oddly delicious. The Argentines lika Jo serve it with fresh stewed figs, 00.
