But after that, he was in full swing. Mr. Heinsite won with the que.cn of spades and cashed the king. On his second trick Mr. Muzzy devilishly discarded the highest card in his hand, the king of hearts. Mr. Heinsite asked to see the trick again and glanced suspiciously at his partner. Then he led the ace and a fourth round of spades. Doggedly, Mr. Muzzy discarded the jack and ten of

hearts.

and it was clear that a third round of hearts would be won by Mr. Heinsite, who had two good spades in his hand. Next Mr. Abel tried the diamonds, cashing the ace and then leading to the king. Here Mr. Muzzy temporarily forgot his resolve and played his two smallest diamonds. On the second diamond Mr. Heinsite dropped a spade. It now appeared to Mr. Abel that he had only one remaining chance for his contract— to throw Mr. Muzzy in with a club for a return lead into the queenten of diamonds. Accordingly he cashed the two top clubs. Mr. Muzzy “punished” his partner further by dropping the queen and jack. SETTING TRIC K When the nine of clubs followed, it w-as Mr. Heinsite who won with the 10 and he cashed a spade for the setting trick. To accomplish the defeat of the contract, note that it w r as

four heart tricks without losing .he lead to Mr. Heinsite. Mr. Muzzy was surprised to hear his partner say, "That is definitely the most brilliant defense I have ever seen unblocking five high cards to enable me to get the lead. On this hand I haven’t a word of criticism.” NEW MAY’SYTELE Joe and Bobbie Walls visited Sunday with Lelan Leak. Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Downs pent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John McGuire and children.

FAIRLY SPOKEN Bustline Humor Fails As Substitute For Wit By Margaret I.atr:)hf', Christian Dior has thrown us a curve w-hich turned out to be a straight line. And if his new’ fashion trend will free us from the Female Bosom in Advertising, Song and Poster, I’ll be thankful. “And what is Madame’s bust measurement?” This question, expressed or implied in too many illustrations, too many ads, too many billboards,, theatre marques; this parade of dollies in their under-w-ear, the inescapable jokes and snickers I find embarrassing. Is this the measure of our national intelligence quotient? Is this the tape recording of our humor level—the size 38 uplift? Maybe some are amused by the comedian whose eye level hits a taller lady companion just above amidships. As he muffs his lines >n admiration of her overly evident equipment, the evidence of meager comedy is what overwhelms a good many of us. It isn’t a question of Victorian prudishness but rather the conviction that the bustline, however ample, isn’t adequate as a subj | stitute for wit. A conviction that “entertainers ” are barking up the wrong brassiere strap, in j failing to comprehend when they j are offensive rather than funny. A visiting European woman remarked that we Americans are unduly concerned with the bosom, a criticism we deserve if only because we don’t rebel against continual chesty aJluj sions. But we are afraid of being considered stuffy. We no longer dare confess embarrassment. It seems to me we are so self-con-sciously intent on spreading sex I knowledge that we are inclined to ,’Ulgarize where we intend merely o educate. And when the sexy lepartment is carried to a reictitious and boring extremity ve hesitate to say “Enough!” In recoiling from the prudery • nd silliness of yesterday’s ’hush-hush,” we are reluctant to idmit that anything can shock is. Shock, of course, is a strong ! erm and has been misused ini his connection. The ever present j ught of a low-necked babe isn’t ■.hocking. It is merely embarrasung. not for what it reveals of the lady’s upper anatomy but for what it reveals of her brain cells or lack of. Well, maybe this is the best we can do. but I don’t thing so. It seems to me yet another case

of the bright boys of the advertming and entertainment worlds undarafimating the public’s intelligence. Fellows, we are ready for a shift of scenery. You take the falsies and the uplifts and put them in mothballs for a season. Give us some new measurement* for wit and originality. News 01 Boys The many friends of Corporal Jack Lyon will be happy to hear of his transfer to a new assignment in Headquarters at Foi Lewis, Washington. Under orders of Colonel Lawrence J.
