It Is one of the moit poignant experiences In life, especially when there im A large and appreciative group of kibitzers around the table! Needless to say, there are times when the. best conceivable dejfense is to sacrifice an ace. But, unfortunately, there is too much of thle sacrificing done without rhyme or reason.

ANGELO PATRI'S VIEWS ON CHILD TRAINING The Technique EVERY art, craft or job of any sort has its own technique. If one is to excel in his work he must learn that technique so thoroughly thnt It becomes the natural, easy habitual way of working. Technique Is mastered by following the rules, understinding them, practicing them over and over. It is a dull business, one which children shun because i Is a discipline beyond their endurance. Yet technique must be learned.

The musician must learn how to place his hands, how to use them. He must learn to read and execute the written notes. The artist must master lino and shadow, form and color. The craftsman must master his materials, learn to use his tools, learn the ways i I A I iji. jj auT Hi NORTH 8 10 7 il 4 A 5 WEST F.AST 6 4 8 Q10 7 Il .1 7 A 10 1(532 10 9 8 4 8 K6I SOKTH 8 A 2 A 9 4 8 I) 9 7 The bidding: South West North East 1 spade Pass 2 no trump Pass 3 hearts I 'am 3 no trump Pass 4 hearts Pass I'afS Paes North, although he held four hearts, felt that his ace-oueen of clubs ajnd king-queen of diamonds should be led up to.

Their advent ia In keeping with the interest In storking styles, which has grown with the continuance of short skirts. Boycott Link Disclaimed Although the new hose have made their debut simultaneously with tho boycott of Japanese silk stockings by students In some leading girls' colleges, manufacturers of cotton yarn insist there Is IT'S LACY.

This section shows the lacy mesh weave of the new cotton merccrked stockings. no connection between the two happenings. They say production of the lisle hosiery waa begun last March. To tho students themselves, however, and to women in general the lisle hose mean something new In stockings to wear with spectator sports and street clothes. They come in sheer mesh and striped knits of very fine lustrous mercerized yarn; In warm sun-tan and light coppery tones and are said to be durable.

Their cost will be about the same aa that of silk stockings. Come in Warm Shades Cotton thread manufacturers said that distribution of the hose would be. countrywide in the spring nnd would mark first extensive American production of a medium-priced, high-style lisle stocking. Their warm sun-tan and coppery hues reflect the general spring color trend In silk stockings, which, their designers Insist, they are intended to supplement, not supplant. Tho rest of the resort and spring foot fashion news Is confined to shoes.

This is itt-a new ribbed stocking in a warm sun-tan shade, intended for wear with spectator sports and street clothes. The shoes are brown alligator. WIGHT MAR.QARET GORMAN NICHOLS and parties, so 1 should like to make her her her first evening drees. I sew quite well.

She is a lovely little thing, tiny waist, small shoulder but quite broad hips and I am whether there aren't clever lines to disguise them. She rolls fusi i runcc and exercises and is so earnest about working down the hips, but I'm afraid it's the frame and not flesh. She's unhappy about those hips says the "middle-aged spread" is not expected in young girls, and if I could work magic tricks in a dress to make those hips unnoticeahle I'm sure she would have a very good time. Can you help? Indeed, I think I can help and I'm happy to advise so dear a mother. Your daughter is fortunate that you can sew so well, but more, that you are so Bincerely Interested and cooperative.

Bouffant dresses are the last word In evening clothes, particularly charming for young girls, and perfect for the little figure flaw you mention. Have a tight bodice, a slim-as-can-be-waistline, and a very full skirt, to hide the hips very cleverly. If you are putting a short sleeve into the dress, have it quite puffy at the shoulder to build It up; if the dress is sleeveless, perhaps you can include a draped collar to cover the shoulder and give the built-up effect. Shoulder interest by pulling the eye attention up gives an Illusion of slenderness around the hips. I have a bulletin called "Young Girls' Beauty Rites," another on "Fashion Hints" and still another on "Hip Rollers" all of these may be of interest to you, but please include a self- addressed stamped (3-cent) envelope when sending your request for them.

Homework for the Thront and Neck Mrs. C. I. M. writes: I have bracelets, but not where they should be.

They girdle my deck. And there's a new pouch under the chin which shouldn't be there, because I really am not old enough for that (am twenty eight). Also, during the winter my neck gets so dark that when I wore evening clothes recently I was shocked at the difference in color below and above the collar bone. I'm ready for intensive homework if you'll assign it through this column. Very well here It is: sleep without a pillow, or use a small one if you must; watch your posture, head up; do chin and neck exercises: use a mild bleach, a ready-prepared cream or mask twice a week, and a throat cream every night.

Barton, M. D. fever high tl mperati re helps fight disease During the flu epidemic of 1918 a young physician on our hospital staff waa taken down with Influenza and pneumonia followed. Hid temperature was not high about 3 01, and his white blood cells the disease fighters were not greatly Increased as they should have been with a disease such aa pneumonia. The consulting physician shook his head when he looked at the patient's chart, and simply stated: "He Is apparently not very sick, but with a temperature of only 101 and no increase In his u'hltn hlnnH DR.

BARTON he Is not putting up much of a fight, and I'm afraid he'll not come through." The voung officer died within a few days as his fighting forces were not able to combat the pneumonia. A good fighting body will Increase Its heat to fight off invading organisms so that an increase in temperature of two or three degrees when you have a little intestinal or stomach upset, or a cold, is really a god sign: a sign thnt your body forces are alert and strong enough to fight back. It is their fighting back that Increases your temperature for It has been well said. "Heat is life." Heat increases the number of white blood cells the fighters and more disease resisting bodies ere fonmed. How then are you to know what to do if you take your temperature and find It Is 101 or 102 degrees? It is always good setise wirh a temperature of only 101 to 102 to get off your feet and give your body forces a better opportunity of fighting off the ailment and per-, haps preventing It from becoming more serious.

It Is always good sense also not to interfere with a temperature by giving fever reducing drugs when It is not higher than 102. If, however, the temperature stays at 102 for a few days, it shows that something more than a slight cold or intestinal upset is present. A temperature of 102 degrees that persists more than a few days means that the family physician should be called In, not to reduce the temperature but to try to find cause of this sustained temperature.

Many persona will find It unwise to try discussing any subject with which they are not familiar, so confine your conversation to topics you can Intelligently discuss on. Be careful not to lack cordiality when you meet anvone socially this day.

Politeness will be important in home and in social circles, so avoid having two sets of manners, one for home and the other reserved for company, if embarrassment Is to be avoided. It will be unwise to expect a person to assume any of your responsibilities, especially in the discharge of social obligations. Married and engaged Touples, and those who have fallen in love, will find that any dilatory tactics, this day will be a great mistake. If a woman and January 18 is your birthday, you ought to have a very retentive memorv. You are self-enerillclng.

magnanimous and courageous. You ought not to lose sight of the fart that Saturday should bo a lucky one for you In the transactions nf hni. new, affairs, and that green is a color you should often make use 11 one o( natural affinities.

from i of his craft. Children, in order to learn any of these practices, ought to start early, so early that abstract technique ia beyond them. They live in tho present moment and have to have the immediate success of their efforts. If they find that their efforts result in a bungled job, an unlovely result, they turn from the task discouraged and it is difficult to get them to turn to it again. Imitation Is the easiest way for children who are beginning any art or craft.

They can copy what they see done. They can trace lines, do as the teacher does, step by step. It is permissible to help them get the right way by doing the hard things for them, start making the basket because starting it is one of the hnrdest steps in the process. And finish it, for that, too, is hard. Let the beginner do the in-between work and so get a good result.

While a child is in the initativa stage of learning never mind teaching hjm the rules as such Be careful that the work he is imitating is accomplished by the right technique so that he will not have to unlearn what he learns at the start. He can imitate perfect work as easily as he can the careless and Imperfect work. The first lessons are to give him confidence, liking, pleasure. When he has accepted the work as his own choice rather than tho imposed task of the teacher, he will kindle an interest in it that will allow him to want the technique. Then he learns it easily.

Don't be afraid to let beginners play by ear. In that way they can hear the music as they know it ought to be. Play easy little melodies, the familiar ones, and let him imitate what he saw and heard. Soon he will be plaving nicely, his hands in good position, tinder good control, not because somebody sat by him with a lead pencil, ready to crack his knuckles, but because somebody sat beside him to help him play what he liked to play, and showed him how. He will learn the technique gradually, and gladly.

The same thing holds for drawing and painting. Let the beginners copy the teacher; learn, in good time as they indicate the need, the rules and the technique of the art. The idea in such work is always tbe successful result, the result that pleases the child. We are not creating an artist. We are opening the way for a child to experience art and to practice it.

If he becomes an artist, that is so much the better. Mr. Patrl has prepared a leaflet entitled, "Bedtime Troubles," in which he tells parents how to overcome irritability in children. Send for it. addressing your request to Mr.

to West a king, but the high trump remained the defenders' only additional trick, and thua the contract was made with ease. Ka.t might have taken the pains to consider the bidding. South's bidding had guaranteed a maximum of four cards in the minor suits. Whether these were three clubs and one diamond, or two clubs and two diamonds, did not matter. The salient fact was that East could not even hone to take more than one diamond trick.

That beinsj so. he should have grabbed it In a hurry, because there was, of course, a stronig possibility that Styuth had only three minor suit cards, which could go on dummy's clubs. Bast's one reasonable hope was that after he had taken the club king and the diamond ace. West would be able to take a spade nnd a heart, or possibly two spade tricks. Kast Should have banged down the diamond ace with expedition and dispatch and then, to insure that his partner would not be caught in a possible end play, should have returned a spade.

Obviously, this would have defeated the contract. Write jour bridge troubles and problems lo Ely riillH-rtson, rare The Hlnghnmton Press, inclosing self-adilrcsscd, stamped en-YeIoc. (Cwjrljht. 3) Good Grooming Fold up your clothes neatly when you take them off, and keep the Inside of your handbag tidy, if you would be well groomed. This is the advice that a famous and sophisticated actress gave to a group of college students at a recent fashion show.

Means to You 1 to p. and from 8 to 10 p. until midnight. ln not allow any disappointment to disconcert you this day, because what you suffer in the way of a disillusionment, blighted hope or miscalculation Is apt to he morn than compensated for by an agreeable surprise in the near future. Ill-timed mirth will cause deep resentment, so do not indulge in it.

Reprimands are not likely to be graciously received, so endeavor to avoid giving them without ample Justification. Be careful that some fantastic Idea does not lead you into some will-o'-the-wlsp chase that will result in the loss of much valuable time. If you are wise you will adopt a give-and-take policy In any bartering you might have to do, for the average person who tries to drivo too hard a bargain is apt to bo sadly disappointed this day. Married and engaged couples, as well as those who are in the midst of a favorable courtship, must be on the alert that their imagination does not lend them astrav In matters that call for unbiased judgment. If a woman and January 17 Is your birthday, be careful that you oo not aoceipt too rreely the Individual opinion of your friends as good advice, when it Is only their personal reaction regarding some subject that they reallv know-very little about.

You run the danger of losing some exceptionally good opportunity to make money through a lark of confidence in your own judgment. Be careful that you do not put up so much resistance against the working out of your destiny by that the natural progress of your affaire in the proper direction is diverted into a wrong channel. As an author, artist. musician. singer, a-tros or sales lady you oug-ht to be a financial success.

As a wife, and mother you ought to find life well worth living. The child born on January 17 should have an exceptional amount of moral courage. Patience will enable it to triumph over any obstacles in its path to suocess. During its early youth some radical mental and physical change for the better is liable to take place. If a man and January 17 is your natal day, let your word be your bond, if you wish to succeed.

As an engineer, chemist, geologist, miner, writer, actor, lawyer, doctor, financier or broker your financial position ought to become secure. Successful People Born on Jan. 17: Benjamin Franklin, statesman and scientist. Thaddeus Fairbanks, inventor. Anna M.

There is novelty In the fabrics And now the questions that she had been so close to asking many times during their weeks of work nnd (ricmiship would be answered! And all the other questions that had tormented her since her child- hood. Who was ebe? Who waa the young actress who had deserted her child? Who was her father? Her brows came together. "You know? I thought Brenda looked white and terrible. "Ijft me talk, please.

You and I are actresses, my dear, but nothing I've done or shall ever do is as dramatic or as tragic aa the connection between us." "You're not my mother?" Karen interrupted. "No. I'm not your mother. But let me talk, please, and then I'll answer anything I don't make clear. But first let mo tell you that it was Philip Philip again who found out about you and told me! "You said there was a secret.

He sensed drama and went to find It. Philip left town a few days after Tommy's party. He went to Harriston, went inconspicuously, and talked to a Judge who told him all about you. And over long distance from England he told me not knowing and still not knowing of the connection between us!" At her slight pause Karen asked, "Hadn't you better sit down, Brenda?" "No." Her eyes softened. "Karen you may hate me when I finish telling you this.

People say that my life has been an open book. No adventures, no Intrigue. Just hard work and a quiet life and one man, Craig, whom I've consistently refused to marry. But there is a secret in my life, a secret and a sin. and that's why I haven't married Craig and why you may hate me.

I did something almost Inhuman it was so terrible." At another pause Karen said, "I could never hate you. You've been too good to me." "Your mother's name was Lela Gibbs and she and I were friends as children In a small western town. Tho name of the town doesn't matter. We grew up together. We were inseparable companions.

We both wanted to go on tho stage. But I was more fortunate In having a mother who was willing for me to have a career and in having a little money my father had left to help me. But Lela's parents were deed nnd she'd been raised by a strict old uncle and aunt who wore horrified at the thought of her wanting to be an actress. "Karen, you told me that the people in Harrington said your mother waa very beautiful. She was.

Beautiful and high-spirited end proud. Her aunt and uncle tried to break her spirit but they never succeeded. But she was unhappy at home until until she fell in love with Craig. VYes," Brenda continued, nod ding. "Craig.

Are you putting the pices together in your mind row? Lela fell in love with Craig, who had known all his life he wanted to be a doctor. But his people were very poor and he knew he had to work his way through college and medical school. I loved Craig, too. Karen. And all through one summer I shall never forget I saw I.ela and Craig in love and trying to make plans.

And then they were married I saw them married. And I loved him then as you love Philip row! mother and I came to New Fork. I heard from Lela and Craig by mail. They were having a hard time with Craig in medical school, earning no money. Then she wrote and said they had' a baby.

You. Karen, Craig it your father!" Karen felt tears In her eyes. Cnlg was her father! She had tlways thought of her mother! "Let me finish, please," Brenda said breathlessly. "You'll have to try to picture your mother, high-spirited and ambitious In her own right, to understand what she did. "She and Craig were very poor and something had to be done.

So she got a job in a traveling company and took you along! Craig opposed it bitterly. But she went anyway. I'm sure she thought she was doing the right thing to help. There was no one she could leave you with. The city where Craig was going to school was In the East.

They didn't know anybody except other students. His people had nothing to gtve them and her aunt and uncle had opposed their marriage. "That night the company went broke in Harriston, Lela was almost penniless. And that night she wroto me a letter, telling me she was going to leave you in the hotel and that I should come for you. She couldn't take you with her.

It was winter. She had decided to go back home, back west, to try to get some money. It was the wrong thing to do, of course, but you must try to understand that she was too proud to go back to Craig a failure after she had defied him to go. "She wasn't thinking clearly that night. She was young and nearly penniless and alono In a strange town with a baby.

She didn't realize what she was doing. And she was so certain I would come for you at once. "But Lela was killed the next night far from Harriston in one of the worst train wrecks in years."

He knew he wanted to remember her as sho was now in that whlto dress, very white indeed ajrainst the colorful flowers. Where would tonight lead her? To the top of her profession, he knew, and he would help her. He would write for her. And one day he would go to her wedding.

"Well, Karen, you won't need me until it's time for a new play. I think "Youth Went Yesterday" will enjoy a long run." He smiled. "Don't you think we understand each other now? Do you still dislike me?" If only she could tell him! "I never disiiked you, Philip. And I owe everything to you. Kverythlng I shall be I owe to you.

And. "And what?" "Just good night." But Philip said, "Good-bye, my dear." And though she did not know it, he thought, they were the tenderest words he had ever spoken. After he left, she just stood there outlined against the flowers. At least they were enemies no longer. "Tonight," sho thought, "I know him better than I've ever known him.

He's the kindest, nicest person I've ever known in my life. He doesn't feel superior. I thought that before because I was nobody and I bated being no-hody. He believed in me. Oh, Philip." Turning, her fingers cupped one of the red roses he had sent.

Her throat ached terribly. You must not cry. Tears are no good. Tomorrow you must buy new clothes for Philip's wedding on Wednesday. Tomorrow you'll spend more money on clothes than you've ever spent.

You're a success. Kmpty word that success. Footlights are only phantom things. Only love la real, the kind of love you have for Philip. And always you will love him.

Always. And never will you have him. Never. Outside Brenda said, "I'm coming in, dear." Karen said, "Yes, come In." Brenda was wearing a black evening dress and carried her mink coat on her arm. "I'll change in a minute," Karen said.

"Philip was was just here, Brenda. It was terrible wanting to say things I couldn't say! He said good-bye, 'Good-bye, my That's what he said." Gently Brenda said, "Don't change just yet. Sit down, dear." And when Karen sat on the dressing table bench, Brenda stood over her and looked into her troubled face and took a deep breath, "Oh. Karen, don't you know? Haven't you guessed? Don't you know that I know -who you are and have known for some time?" Karen seemed scarcely to breathe. Suddenly the dressing room filled with flowers was slightly out of focus.

She felt she could not bear to hear anything else tonight. But Brenda knew!.
