Pat. Office) Trouble At Home Has Teen-Ager Frightened Of all sad letters that reach my desk from distraught human bemost tragic of all, to my mind, are from children who are victimized by their parents and helpless to do anything about it. Here is one from a teen-ager, who is not only lonely and unhappy because her parents deny her the normal pleasures of her age, but who also carries a load of anxiety because she knows something about her mother that her father does not know. "I'm a very unhappy girl who has just turned 16," she writes. "I have a pretty mother who goes out with other men even though my father is still living.

She tells me about them like a big who has found her first love. I love her very much, but at times I am very depressed by this. "My mother is always saying she's sick and goes to the doctor, but once the doctor came to our house when I was home with her and I overheard him telling her she was perfectly all right. That very night she told my father a lot of lies, and said the only way she feels better is when she goes out. That leaves me home minding the kids.

"Another thing is that my mother thinks I'm too young to go out with boys, and I have no friends because my mother tells them all to go away and not to bother me. After school I must rush home to do housework and to take care of the two younger children. I believe You'll Be Famous 7392 by Alice Brooks Everybody will compliment you on this chair -set!

South easily won 11 tricks in the play of the cards, and then the fun "North stated that South hadn't bid the hand strongly enough, that the game was unbiddable even by experts, and that South had been very lucky in the play of the cards. I probably need'nt add that North is a lawyer and that he also pleaded self defense and produced a witness to show that he was 200 miles away when the hand was bid.

"South is a simple man with a loud simple voice. He made it very clear that he thought North should have bid again. "Who is right?" The simple man is right. North should have gone two no-trump when South bid two spades. South's hand is limited in many ways.He didn't open the bidding to begin with.

He didn't jump to two spades over one heart, which would be a way of showing a hand that was nearly good enough for an opening bid. He didn't even jump to three spades over two hearts. Nevertheless, he did bid two spades. The bid is of two show spades of in this situation a strength. South would pass two hearts with any really weak hand.

For ex- queen-jack-ten and a singletone cards), heart he (but would no just other high pass hearts and let North go down quietly. If South wants to show strength, North must hope for game and must therefore keep the door open. If North does so by bidding two no-trump, South should bid three diamonds. North then bids three spades, still staying under game but keeping the door open. South would then bid four spades very happily.

No guarantee goes with the con-, tract, but South would have to he very unlucky to lose two tricks in spades and two tricks also in diamonds. South certainly has a very fine play for game and should be happy to reach the game contract.

Print plainly NAME, ADDRESS with ZONE, SIZE and STYLE NUMBER. my mother does not want me grow up for fear people will call her old.

"I wish I could go to see someone grown-up about all this, but it is out of the question, because my father agrees with my mother about my going out, and if they ever found out I went to someone, either he would beat me or she would. I have to find a way out of all this, so please try to help me." This deeply troubled sixteenyear-old is quite right: the very best thing she could possibly do would be to talk to some older person about her problems. No girl or boy of 16 is able to cope with any such situation as she describes, and she urgently needs the advice of someone nearby who can be available to guide her continuously. At the same time, however, she undoubtedly has good reasons to be afraid to discuss her home situation with anyone. So what is a girl to do when her only hope lies in something she dares not attempt? The only possible answer lies in her being put in touch with a representative of some local organization sufficiently experienced in handling family problems so that a way could be worked put to approach the parents without betraying their daughter's confidence.

Because of the double nature of the problem--the mother's behavior in regard to other men, and the father's concurrence in his wife's attitude on the subject pf the girl's social life I say that the whole thing would have to be handled through the mother. There is an organization in city where this girl lives called the Family Society, and I believe her best plan would be to see someone there. She could either write a letter, addressing it to the Director of the Society, or she could telephone, and ask for a time to set when she could come and see someone to discuss a family problem. Then, when she keeps her appointment, if she will explain that her parents must not know of her visit, I am sure she can talk freely with the assurance that her confidence will be respected. If this seems to her like too big a step to take right now, another thing she might do is to pick out some teacher in school whom she likes very much and talk to her about her problem.

It might be, as is the case in many modern public school systems, that there is some special person whose job it is to talk with boys and girls in school and try to help them straighten out any worries they may have. She might ask the principal of her school if there is any such person available. A third possibility might be to go to her clergyman and ask him for help. Any intelligent and experienced person should be able to figure out how an opportunity can be made to meet these parents without giving the girl away. I hope that through one of the ways I have suggested such a person may be found to come to her aid.
