The grounds of Mrs. Valentine's BY GEORGE SHAFFER. Chicago Tribune Presi Service Hollywood, Aug. 30. Special.

The $35 a day that a studio pays an ordinary Hollywood stunt man usually is merely a retainer fee. The detailed things the stunt man has to do are paid for on a rising scale of bonus money, according to the risk attached. Falling down stairs is $75 every time a stunt man does it. Auto chases with bumps or skids, cost $75 to $100. Auto collisions with turnovers $150 and up.

Fights in barrooms or other places where there is danger of broken glass, $75 a day. Water stuff," falling out of boats or storms at sea, nets $75 because of the cold and exposure. These are the "union" prices, according to Harvey Perry, survivor of countless falls, auto crashes and barroom fights, not to speak of near drownings and successfully dodged bullets.

Miss Warbasse was graduated last You see, many young women and older ones set out for business, or shopping, or house hunting, or somewhere else, with the appearance of having said to their mirrors, I won't meet anybody today anyway!" You know that appearance. Hair out of curl, dress a bit spotty gloves that should have been washed several days ago or sent to the cleaners, shoes in need of shine or cleaning, and so on. You may say, of course, heck, I met my fate long ago.

Why should I worry about whom I meet today! Well, you might just meet yourself in a miiror on the way along. And you know that forsaken feeling tht comes over a woman confronted with a poor image of herself. Or, to put it another way, catch a glimpse of you smiling back agreeably at yourself and your whole day is better. This isn't fatuous, Polly-anna stuff, believe us, for there is more in knowing that you're putting up a good front on these ordinary oe--. casions than in all the compliments you get when you are fixed up especially well for the occasional date.

Mr. Spooner is BY GLADYS HUNTINGTON BEVANS "It wasn't until I broke my arm that I realized how common broken bones were. The sight of my arm in a sling brought forth a surprising number of stories of broken fingers, arms, shoulders, and so on from my friends and acquaintances." We often find that some experience we think our very own is a common occurrence. An article in this column explaining the seriousness of an enforced change of handedness resulted in letters that proved this true. Today's article and the letter quoted are directed at teachers who may not be informed on this subject.

"My dear Mrs. Bevans: I've just finished reading your article in today's paper, and it interested me because I am a victim of left-handed-ness. I will explain what I mean when I say victim. I was a normal, healthy child In every way, except that I was left handed. But unfortunately when I went to school it was considered wrong to use the left hand, and, you may believe me, I suffered as only a child can suffer.

The teachers always hit me with a ruler for using the left hand when I sewed and wrote. I grew to fear punishment and yet I couldn't write or sew with my right hand. As a result, I received bad marks in writing and sewing. "At home my mother's criticisms made me nervous. Whenever I had to slice bread, for example, she would say: 4 Please give me that knife.

You may cut yourself. You look so awkward using the left I did cut myself a few times, but it was my mother's fault. I can and could do anything just as well as any one, but with the left hand. "When I was about 7 or 8, my mother took me to a doctor and he said I had a touch of St. Vitus' dance.

He asked what made me nervous and found the fear I had of teachers was the cause. My dad then told me to use whatever hand was natural to me, as I had inherited left-handed-ness from his brother, a highly intelligent man. I've always been praised for my work since I left school. I still use the left hand in everything but writing. I am considered good at sewing and writing, subjects for which I received poor grades in school.

"I've written this letter to you, Mrs. Bevans, to tell you how gratifying it is to read that this problem now is being approached in an intelligent manner." By Tho Chicago Tribune-V. News Syndicate. Inc. We have a fully written leaflet, celled "Th Left-Handed Child in Right-Handed World," which is obtainable en receipt of a large, stamped, self-addressed envelope with yogr request.

at the wedding of Miss Barbara Baker lo Richard Eng-lis Baiter. Miss Baker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stewart Baker of Divorcee Must Be Discreet in Picking Friend BY DORIS BLAKE. She's been married and divorced and is taking care of a small son without aid from her divorced mate.

The divorced woman's position is a difficult one," she finds out. "Men take advantage of the so-called worldly knowledge that a woman who has been married is supposed to have gained. Even this man about whom I write, but the best of the lot to me, doubts me. He is a married man, I may as well tell, not happy in his marriage. He talks of getting a divorce some time in the future, but I cannot see that he is making any move in that direction.

He shows great jealousy, however, if I look at another man. He tells me that even if he never can marry me he still can give me a greater love than any other man. He still is living with his wife on account of the children, he tells me." If you like the back-street idea for your future position in life that's your affair, we suppose! That's what you are aiming for, from the appearance of things. It's pretty soft for a married Lothario to have an extra woman whom he can assuage with doubtful promises. But why be the kind of woman to take that kind of treatment? We do not think that it adds to a woman's personal integrity in the eyes of other men if she is found playing around with one who obviously intends to maintain his marriage status.

Wouldn't it be far more satisfying to build up a life for yourself of which your youngster might be proud The happiness of your own youngster and that of the man's children is a more important issue than yours. Copyright 1938: By The Chieairo Tribune-N. T. News Syndicate. Inc.

Her son and daughter-in-law, the Kdward Perry says, "the most I ever got for a stunt was wing walking and a parachute jump in a Jack Gilbert years ago. Got $1,500 for it. I suppose the studios can get fellows to jump out of planes in parachutes now for 15 or 25 dollars." Perry said he remembered making one scene in which he was strapped tightly in a specially reinforced automobile which was to turn over four times in falling down an embankment. "Anything can happen at a time like that, I found out. When the turnover was completed I found myself out of the strap and the strap still tightly buckled." Perry also tells the anecdote about a 1,500 pound horse which fell backward across the chest of Duke Green, one of his stunt man pals.

"It knocked the wind out of Green but the horse never was the same afterward."

Mr. and Mrs. John Lord King ITheodora Shaw SCHOOLGIRL'S FROCK. In another week or so your little daughter will be returning to her studies. Her smartness must extend beyond high grades and include chic little models for her wardrobe! While her dresses must be pretty, they also must be practical and simple for mother to keep laundered and pressed.

The frock sketched today is a princess model with several distinctive details of styling. The yoke creates an adorable wide shoulderline. The neckline has a pert little collar with a clever loop trimming. The sleeves, which may be either long or short, change their fabric just below the elbow, and cooperate with the yoke in choice of material and color. The sleeves are caught into bands which encircle either the upper arm or the wrist Because it is a princess frock, this little dress has the builoncd-down-the-front chic which is characteristic of the mode.

The frock fits snugly at the waistline, and has plenty of plaits in the front for tailored chic and also for roominess. The back gains width by means of paneling. The original of this model is created in plaid, wool finished cotton in navy and white, combined with plain blue for yoke and sleeve inserts. Bright red buttons accent the princess bodice. Grosgrain ribbon loops, matching the red of the buttons, enhance the neckline.

One also may fashion the dress all in one fabric, such as navy-blue pique. The collar may be of white pique, by way of contrast. Velveteen, wool crepe, wool jersey, and thin tweedy woolens are lovely fabrics for this dress for winter wear. Style No. 2905 is designed for size 10, 12.

Thompson is sailing in the Normandie today on his way This is positively our last reference; to political emblems, but we thinle you should know that there is a sunflower perfume on the market. A Chicago perfume house created it and packaged it appropriately in slender green bottles with yellow leaves collaring the stopper. They admit, quite honestly, that sunflowers actually don't have much.

if any fragrance but they, cooked up one that they think is appropriate. It's a simple fragrance, quite fresh and cool. A bottle of it and it's not expensive should make a hit as a gift to a Republican woman or as a bridge prize. Another idea for the bridge hostess is an inexpensive gift box of five fragrances. The package designer turned to those quintuplets again.

There are five little bottles standing in a row, each silk skirted, and with steppers that represent the bright faces of the five black haired, red cheeked Dionne daughters. Miss Gardenia, Miss Rose. Miss Violet, Miss Chypre, and Miss Sweet Pea are the floral quints. It's an un usual little package and a novel gift iiea. Eleanor Nangle.

CHAPTER III. Honor Tricks.

Many honor combinations in side suits that are perfectly good winners at a partnership's own bids cease to exist when running the gantlet of the enemy's trump suit The third lead of any side suit is quite likely to be trumped, so that a sequence like A 10 2, defensively speaking, is worth only a "plus" more than A 5 4 3 2. At your own bid the former suit will win six tricks and the latter but four or five. This imposes a double standard of values even with honors an attack and defense standard. In attack, that is, at declarer's own or in support of partner's trump bids, the honors are counted at their full playing value. In defense, only the cream of honor sequences is skimmed.

A defensive honor trick or defensive winner is a card or combination of cards which may be expected to win a trick, even against the opponents' trump contract. Not only ace-kings and acc-king-queens are counted defensively, but kings, queens, jacks, and even tens can be combined to form defensive combinations. The very first trick can eliminate four top cards, promoting a ten to the position of first Nerlh East 1 no trump Pass Pass Fass TODAY'S QUESTION.

If he had correctly bid three diamonds on the second round, North could have responded with three hearts, and in that way the correct contract of four hearts would have been reached. West hit on the good opening lead of the ten of hearts, which was won in the closed hand with the ace.

Declarer now led the low trump from his own hand and West was caught napping. He should have seen that there was a real possibility of his partner's six of hearts, on the first trick, being a singleton.
