He took me to dinner twice and seemed to like me very much. EVERYBODY gets his share of good and bad luck at the bridge table but the "bad luck" claimed by some individuals is greatly increased by their own lack of perception. For example, South thought he was unlucky in the following case, when the truth was that Lady Luck was wooing him desperately. North, dealer. Both sides vulnerable.

TENZIN6, LEFT, AND SIR EDMUND HILLARY, CONQUERORS OF MT. EVEREST, PAUSE FOR A CUP OF TEA. RAREFIED AIR OF HIGH ALTITUDE QUICKLY EXHAUSTS BODY MOISTURE AND MAKES HIGH CONSUMPTION OF LIQUIDS IMPERATIVE.

i (i -I By Sir Edmund Hillary This Is the third of four articles written by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing, who, on May 29, climbed to the top of high Mt. Everest, the world's highest peak, which hitherto had defied all efforts of man to conquer it. In today's installment, Hillary concludes his own account of how the two men reached the top. Tomorrow, in the concluding article, Tenzing, in his own words, will give his account of the great How do you know that you care for him? You can't form a very complete picture of a person's character on the basis of two dinner dates, and unless you know what he Is really like, what kind of a person he is, you'd better go slow about letting yourself fall in love with him. The fact that he treats you like the others when you are working Is smart on his part and commendable too.

Two dates ahouldn't make you exempt from criticism cr direction in your work. Dear Martha: WE ARE A GROUP OF SOPHOMORE GIRLS and frequently give parties. We usually invite the same boys we graduated from grade school with and a few others. But the boys never have parties and they won't help pay the expenses. Should we stop inviting them? If so, we don't know whom to ask.

We are getting very disgusted with boys. UNDECIDED. Well, If you stop inviting them and don't have any-else to ask, you can't have parties. So I'm afraid you'll have to keep on the way you're going or just plan parties for the gals. Of course, it might make the boys sit up and take notice if you just call off these free feeds for awhile, but I can't guarantee that they would leap to the bait and flan a series of parties on their own.

Girls are far better at that than boys. IN ANSWER TO TROUBLED: If your father insists that you not date anyone until you are 18, you shouldn't be seeing this boy behind his back. After all, it will be only a few months before your eighteenth birthday. Tell this boy the truth. If he is the right kind and if he cares for you, he won't want you to go against your father's wishes.

time seemed to pass as in a dream, but finally we reached the site of the Swiss ridge camp and branched off down into the great couloir. There an unpleasant surprise greeted us. The strong wind which was now blowing had completely wipt'd out all steps and only a steep, hard surface greeted our weary eyes. There was nothing to do but start cutting again. FOR 200 feet I chipped steps laboriously downward.

Gusts of driving wind almost tore us from our steps. Tenzing took over the lead and cut down another 100 feet, then moved on to softer snow and kicked a track right down the couloir. Two figures came toward us and met us a couple of hundred feet above camp. They were Lowe and Wilfred Noyce, laden with hot soup and emergency oxygen. We were too tired to make any response to Lowe's enthusiastic acceptance of our news.

We stumped down to the col and slowly ground our way up the short rise to the camp. Off came our oxygen and into the tent we crawled and with a sigh of pure delight collapsed into our sleeping bags while the tents flapped and shook under the perpetual South Col gale. Yes, the South Col might be the worst spot in the world, but to us at the moment with the Primus stove humming and our friends Lowe and Noyce fussing about us it was home. (Copyright, 1953.) VA105 J7 KQJ9643 The bidding: North East South West 1N.T. Pass 3 Pass 3N.T.

Pass 6 Pass Pass Pass Although South was rather exuberant when he contracted for the slam on the mere strength of North's one-no-trump opening, he might have had reason to complain about bad luck if West had happened to lead a diamond, which could have given the defense the first two tricks. Actually, however, West chose the more attractive spade lead which should have given declarer quite a breather. But South didn't appreciate his good fortune. He put up the spade ace, drew two rounds of trumps, and discarded a diamond on the spade king. Then he led a low heart and put in the ten.

West won and, fully alive to the danger of another spade or heart lead, shifted quickly to a low diamond and that was that. Down one. South's choice.of diseards on the king of spades was not astute! What good could it do him to get rid of one diamopd when he would still be left with a diamond and a heart loser? The obviously correct discard on the spade king was a low heart: then a fortunate 3-3 break of the outstanding hearts would mean victory. After discarding the heart, declarer would simply cash the ace and king of hearts, ruff a low heart, then return to the board with a trump to cash in the thirteenth heart. against time.

A swig of sweetened lemonade refreshed us and we turned down again. As I led the way down the great snow slope, I hacked each step with as much care as if our lives depended on it as well they might. Every step down was a step nearer safety and, when we finally moved off the slope onto the ridge below, we both looked at each other and almost visibly shrugged off the sense of fear that had been with us all day. We were now very tired, but moved automatically down to the two oxygen cylinders cached on the ridge. We were only a short distance from camp, so we loaded the cylinders on to our frames, continued down our tracks and reached our tent on-its crazy platform at 2 p.m.

Already the moderate winds of the afternoon had wrenched the tent loose from some of its fastenings and it presented a forlorn sight. We were very thirsty and still had to get down to the South Col. Tenzing lit the kerosene stove and started to make a lemonade drink heavily sweetened with sugar. I changed our oxygen sets onto the last partly filled bottles and cut down our flow rates to two liters a minute. Far below, on the South Col, we could see minute figures and knew that George Lowe would be eagerly waiting for our descent.

We slowly packed up our sleeping bags and air mattresses and strapped them onto our frames. Then, with a last look at the camp that had served us so well, we turned downward with dragging feet and set ourselves to the task of safely descending the ridge. With our numbed faculties the and descend the dangerous slopes of the south summit to the two partly filled bottles watting for us far below. I turned off my oxygen and removed my set. I then produced my camera and set to work to photograph everything in sight.

First of all some photographs of Tenzing waving a string of flags Nepalese, British, United Nations and Indian. Then I endeavored to take photographs down all the ridges of Everest. I had little hope of the results being particularly successful, as I had a lot of difficulty in holding the camera steady in my clumsy gloves, but I felt they would at least serve as a record. AFTER 10 minutes of this I realized I was becoming rather clumsy -fingered and slow-moving. I quickly replaced my oxygen set and experienced once more the stimulating effect of even a few liters of oxygen.

While I had been taking photographs, Tenzing had made a little hole in the snow and in it placed various articles of food) a bar of chocolate, a packet of biscuits and a handful of hard candy small offerings indeed, but at least a gift of some sort as a token offering to the gods that devout Buddhists believe have their home on this lofty summit. After 15 minutes we turned to go. The whole world around us lay spread out like a giant relief map and, I could take in with a glance country that we had spent months mapping and exploring on previous trips. Reaction was setting in and we must get off our mountain. Already, as the spur of ambition died under the glow of success, we felt weakness in our limbs and shortage of breath.

I moved down off the summit. Wasting ON THE TOP OF TENZING, MY initial feelings on reaching the top of Mt. Everest were of relief relief that there were no more steps to cut, no more ridges to traverse and no more humps to tantalize us with hopes of success. Despite the knitted helmet, goggles and oxygen mask, all crusted with icicles, that concealed Tenzing's face, there was no disguising his infectious grin of pure delight as he looked all around him. We shook hands and then, casting those Anglo-Saxon formalities aside, Tenzing threw his arms around my shoulders and we thumped each other on the back until forced to stop from lack of breath.

I glanced at my watch 11:30 a.m. The ridge had taken us two and a half hours, but it seemed more like five. I checked our oxygen again yes, the slow rate seemed to be pretty constant. But if we intended to remain on three liters, we were going to have to waste no time on the return, as we had only two hours' more endurance. In this time we had to return along the ridge EVEREST, HOLDS UP HIS ICE AX BEARING THE FLAGS OF THE U.N., BRITAIN, NEPAL AND INDIA.

no time, we cramponed along our tracks, spurred by the urgency of diminishing oxygen. Bump followed bump in rapid succession. In what seemed almost miraculous time we reached the top of the rock step. Now, with the almost casual Indifference of familiarity, we kicked and jammed our way down it again. We were tired out, but not too tired to be careful.

We scrambled cautiously over the rock traverses, moved one at a time over shaky snow sections and finally cramponed on our steps and back onto the south summit. Only one hour back from the top!

And by the way, every good model always keeps a tape measure handy. By checking measurements regularly, she discovers any adverse changes in her figure quickly when they can be corrected with the least pain and penalty. It's a mighty good habit for every charmer to adopt. Right now, stand just as you normally do and check your measurements of hips, waist and bust, noting each down carefully.

Next, stand with model beauty and check them again. Here's hdW: START BY UNLOCKING your knees, flexing them just a trifle. Now, tilt your pelvis slightly by pulling the end of your spine down and under, tucking your hips in and under. Then take your hip measurement again, being careful that the tape is placed on an even line around your hip joints. Next, with your waist pulled as far out of your hips as possible, draw the tape snugly around it and note the measurement.

With your chest held high, take a deep breath and hold it as you put the tape around the widest part of your bust. How do your first and second measurements compare? Remember that generally speaking, the ideal is to have bust and hips measure the same and the waist ten inches smaller. If your rue test) ROCHESTER SPRINGFIELD.

While fresh lemons have certain uses, particularly as garnishes, for which nothing else will do, we need not depeend upon them for flavoring. The frozen juice concentrate has a delicious flavor. I always keep on hand the canned or bottled lemon juice, very satisfactory in pie filling, gelatine dishes and mixed drinks. One of my favorite party desserts is a combination of lemon custard between layers of angel food cake.

EVIDENTLY YOU ARE wrong somewhere, Mrs. but at this distance It's not easy to point out all the mistakes you have made. One, I'll have to say frankly, is that you feel yourself superior to the rest. The rest always resent that, as you know perfectly well. Another is that you somehow missed, during your childhood, one of the most important experiences of growing up, namely, learning how to get along with your own sex.

You skipped the "gang age" (yes, girls have one, too).
