beating the contract. Even when the dummy went down, disclosing that the trump king was trapped, he felt confident, as he still held the king of clubs, which must lie “over” declarer’s ace-queen. % However, my friend, Earl Bryan of Cleveland, felt more confident of making the contract after the double than he had when his partner made the contract to take all the tricks but one. When West saw the dummy hand, he shifted to a heart. Bryan, who sat South, won with the king, then tried the spade finesse, which held, and the ace dropped the king. He now led another heart, hoping for a 3-3 split,"so that he might discard his queen of clubs and avoid a finesse, which, on the overcall and double, seemed doomed to lose. When East played the jack on the queen, however, that plan was abandoned. South re-entered his own hand by ruffing a diamond, and then led out all of his trumps, and West was hopelessly squeezed. He could not retain stoppers in hearts, diamonds and clubs, while South ran down the four remaining trumps. He had two diamonds he could discard, but he had to retain two hearts, so the club king and its guard had to be given up.

Match Blood

‘Tones, Makeup, Writer Urges

BY ALICIA HART Times Special he

If she chooses the right shades of makeup, any woman can wear any color. If you like only colors which you know are flattering and never yearn to wear those you know are not, buy rouge and lipstick to match your blood tones, powder to match your skin and forget about other shades. Otherwise, have extra sets of makeup to wear with colors phat are not becoming. ; The pale.person with blond lashes and brows can wear yellow only if she makes herself up to look more vivid. Brown mascara and eyebrow pencil, powder one shade darker than her skin, rouge and lipstick

‘| applied generously and a bit of eye-

shadow, too, will do the trick. Before you buy a new dress in a color you never have considered becoming, get a scarf-size piece of material in that shade, drape it around neck and shoulders and experiment with makeup., Try this

'shade of rouge, that shade of pow-

der and several eye lash and eyebrow cosmetics. Unless you can find makeup that makes your skin look alive and glowing | while the scarf is next to your face, don’t buy the dress. To. wear white effectively one ought to be very dark or very light. Incidentally white collars and white jabots enable any true | brunet to wear any color. As a matter of fact many a brunet achieves an unusual, almost startling effect, by having a dress in a color she knows isn’t flattering, then using white neckwear next to her throat and face. Green and mauve powders are for evening only. Don’t attempt to use either of them in the daytime and don’t use them at night unless you are perfectly sure that they add to your beauty. Simply pution all of your evening makeup, in the usual manner, then, just before you go out, dust a light coat of mauve or green on over your regular powder.

ERE is a silver lining to any dark cloud that might loom on your horizon. It's a glistening, little cap that might well be a reason for staying up north instead of fleeing to bask under the southern sun. Of shiny black straw fabric, its gay bright flowers of glycerined feathers have a forward movement, while the perky Normandy cap crown moves toward the back. It is more novel to have the two flowers in contrasting colors... and

note that the flower stems are

wound around to define the hat silhouette. This number, from a notable midseason collection, is prophetic of what to expect of spring chapeaux. Tiny, flattering affairs with “dis--appearing” crowns instead of the skyward toppers we now are wearing. 3

Inferiority Complex Held One Result of Fault * Finding.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“I am trying to train Billy out of his inferiority complex,” says Mrs. Smith to the lady who has just lectured. “I read all the books I can get on the subject. And my daughter has a habit of sulking. So I am concentrating on her also.” The speaker congratulates her and Mrs. Smith goes home. She scans the notes she has made on the talk and decides that ' Billy needs more praise than he is getting and Betty needs to be kept busier, Billy comes in from school and his mother greets -him brightly. “Well, dear, did you get a better mark in spelling?” Billy hadn’t, but she tells him that some people just can’t spell very well anyway. To Betty she remarks that if she wants very much to start dancing lessons, she may.

He just seems to think we can get along on nothing.” “Daddy has some money,” Billy says. ‘“He’ll give you some.” = “You don’t know your father. He is forever harping about things he has to pay.” But this was uttered with a mysterious air that left suspicion. > “Daddy didn’t bring up enough wood for the living room fire, Billy. You go down and get some,” she complains later. “My, I wish that man could keep his wits about him. No wonder he can’t get anywhere in the office. Billy,-I want you to learn to push yourself a little more than your father does.” Betty says, ‘Yeah, and I hate him working for Dot’s father. Dot likes to look down on me. It makes me furious.” “Never mind. Maybe luck will come. But if it does, it won't be kis doings. Laziness never got any one anywhere. 1If' Dot high-hats veu, cut her back. That's the way to get along. If your father would try those tactics he would be better off.” ; Rankling in Note

And so it went on. . In one way or another, Mrs. Smith twisted almost everything that went amiss in the house to the shortcomings of her husband. A deep rankling sense of being mistreated colored her speech to her children. It never occurred to her that right here was
