ANSWER--You owe your brother nothing. He received the same inheritance that you got and probably made much more when he worked

PY HE dolphin was designed as a decorative centerpiece for fruit or flowers. Colorful cellophane fruit is modern enough to fit harmoniousiy into the picture when heaped high in the bowl. It is a distinguished piece of classic modern sculpture, both in form and execution. It may be used as a decoration on occasional tables, niches or mantels.

baroque in pattern and the scroll motif of the design gives a romantic motion to the entire ensemble. Plaster was introduced originally by Elsie de Wolfe as a material media and it is especially effective for modern baroque designs. Plaster is forever new. A single coat of flat white paint renews it. It is not affected by climatic conditions and it will complement a traditional as well as a modern interior setTing.
CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP
Today’s Contract Problem
South's contract of six spades has been doubled by West. With the drop of the king on the second round of trumps, he is sure of 11 tricks. Should he try the simple finesse in clubs for the twelfth trick, or look for an alternative play?

was a request for partner to show any aces, and the five diamond response was equally artificial, showing one ace, but not necessarily in that suit. West's double was based on his own concealed suit. He hoped to take two tricks in diamonds, and thought that the double might protect a trump honor in his part ner’s hand. It did not work out that way, and South made his redoubled contract for a total of 1970 points. Seven diamonds would have heen beaten only five tricks, had West shown his real suit,

‘Nagging’ by Mother Seen As Necessity
Children Should Share Responsibility for Tidiness, View,
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
I watched a mother the other day who had given an order to her boy. She said to him: “Henry, go and brush your hair.” That was all. Hé went outside and in half an hour came back and began to romp with the dog. “Henry, I told you to brush your hair. It looks dreadful.” “I'm goin’ to, Mud,” said Henry. “You don't give me time. Anyway, I'll just get it mussed again.” “I wouldn't hurt you to brush it every once in a while. Remember what I said the other day. I told you I wouldn't keep on reminding you about some things. I know you don’t care about the way you look, but I care and that should be
enough.” Results at Last
With a sidelong glance at me, Henry went away. He looked much better when he reappeared. But by dinner time, he was all awry again, Some people were coming in and his mother looked at her son. “Henry, please go up and fix your hair again.” Henry said crossly: “I did, Mud. You're always nag--fuss-ing at me about the way I look. Oh, all right, I'll go.” Her husband came home. He threw his hat and coat on a hall chair, She said, “Won't you put your things in the closet, Tom? The Smiths are coming.” “Oh, they're all right,” said Tom. “Always leave ’em there.” “Well, it makes it hard for me to keep the hall cleared,” said my hostess. But mentally, I pictured her day after day asking him mildly to use the coat closet for his hat, scarf and ulster. By this time. no doubt, it had become an issue, the same as Henry's hair. The maid had forgotten to moisten the lettuce before putting it away in the ice-box. Mrs. Brown went to the kitchen to see about the salad and found the lettuce dry and wilted. When she returned she said, “I'm afraid we'll have to skip the salad. I have told Lotta over and over how to cover the green things before putting them away. But she forgets the minute I say it. I hate to keep nagging.” New Slant on Situation
Right then a new slant on this thing called “nagging” occurred to me. Why is it that people in a house with as much responsibility to order and neatness as the mother, have to be reminded repeatedly about things they certainly should do on ‘their own account? There is such a thing as nagging, but it can only be called by this name when a woman gets a real obsession. Yet, even here it can often be excused on the grounds that obsesions are repeated irritations. No, the family should mot leave all responsibility to her. Henry, and his dad and Lotta all knew what to do. They would not do it on their own initiative. They waited to be reminded daily. Then they called it nagging, or at least thought so. It
is hardly fair. (Copyright, 1036, NEA Service, Inc.) A ts —————— A A————————
