In this country we have come to expect our hairdressers to cut and arrange and wave our hair in the most becoming manner possible—we expect great things from hairdressers—but most fo us ex- pect milliners merely to supp’y us with hats of the latest fashion. At present there is a gratifying ten- dency toward greater diversity in hat fashions: Even in ready-made hats it is possible to find some that are really becoming and that add something of line and trimming that we need to give us_distinction. ‘The hat shown in the sketch is one of the new models suitable for late Summer or Autumn, for wear with the tailored suit or less formal sort of after- BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JOUN MUNCE, JR. Before discussing third hand's bid in the third and fourth situation, namely, after dealer bids and second hand passes; and after dealer bids and sec- ond hand bids; it is well to.repeat what is known as normal expectancy. It is legitimate for the initial bidder to count on his partner for one-third of the high cards which he does not hold in his own hand, and we speak of dummy's share of tricks as two. It is possible that dummy's strength may fall below the expected two tricks; still there is always the possibility of dum- my’s strength rising abdve that average. Normal support for your partner when he has bid a suit bid is three cards of the sult bid, no matter how small, or king and one small card of the suit, or ace and one small card of the suit bid, with one quick trick on the side.

July 24, 1859—A visit to the Wash- ington Monument grounds today shows that the board is in earnest in the work of completing the monument. The buildings around the base of the shaft have been put in tolerable condition again, and other improvements are be- ing_made for the convenience of the mechanics to be employed. In the shed near the base cf the shaft, there are already 73 stone bloc! presented by patriotic citizens, societies, orders, States, etc., of our own country, and by admirers of the immortal Wash- ington in foreign lands. All are in good condition and ready to be inserted in the column as the work progresses. Some of the blocks recently have been received, while others have been on the ground for a long time. Many of these stone blocks are of un- usual interest.

Their home is in the Army stables down near the Munitions Building. Jeff is the mount presented to Gen. Pershing by the 1st Division at the close of the World War.

By freight and trolley they reached Baltimore. From Baltimore to Washington they “rode the rods,” arriving in the cold dawn of March 4. Both were hungry, cold, dirty and broke. Once here. young Reed started out to get & check cashed. He chose the most promising looking place and pre- sented his demand for $15. “Who are you?” his chosen bene- factor asked gruffly, looking first at the check and taen at the two grimy faces before him. “I am the son of Judge James H. Reed of Pittsburgh,” came the prompt answer. “Oh, you are, are you?”" jeered the skeptical one. ~“And I suppose you there,” looking scornfully at Reed's friend, “are the son of President Mc- Kinley The two walked mournfully out into the street.

Before he became too old Jeff had won blue ribbons and medals of all descriptions—enough to fill a | good-sized box. | . They say around the Army stables that he enjoyed nothing more. Never was his rider forced to punish him to make a hurdle. There is a story of how Jeff was taken to Rock Creek Park here one day by & none-to-skilled rider (a high Army officer), where other horses were jump- ing.

If normal support is not held, it is necessary that a denial bid be made. Consequently, in discussing bidding of third hand under the third and fourth situations it is necessary to classify the bids into two general classes: First, bids to increase the contract; second, the denial and take-out bids. ‘We will not discuss in detail the bids under the third situation, namely, when dealer bids and second hand passes. One of the most discussed questions around many bridge tables is this: When should you take your partner out of a no trump bid and what should you hold to do so? Authorities differ on the take-outs and no system will prove a winner in every case, but we believe the following methods will produce the most satisfac- tory results in the long run. The ob- ject of every bridge player should be to go game in one hand, and all take- out theories must be based on this as- sumption. Don't think for a minute that partial scores are to be scorned where game is impossible, but try to buy the contract as cheaply as possible in number of tricks to minimize your loss when a loss has to be faced. Dealer having bid a no trump, second hand having passed, if third hand is port, it probably means dealer has strongth, also that fourth hand is strc 1g and will likely bid a suit or dou- ble \ ealer’s bid, to ask his partner, who has Dreviously passed, to declare his best it of four cards or more. Tt is now g nerally agreed upon that with a hand ¢ ntaining normal support or less third huud should pess. OUR CHILDREN AY ANGELO PATRL A Little Bare. Either houses are getting smaller and smaller or we are putting more and more into them. Things are so crowded. A little girl was having temper tantrums a'id her mother was at her wits end to know what to do with her or for her. “She throws herself down wherever she happens to be and screams until she is blue in the face. Somebody crosses her, expresses a difference of opinion, refuses to give up something, or does nothing at all to her—and away she goes. What is the matter with her is more than I can sa: The child had perfect health as far one could discover. But temper tan- trums have a cause so we searched for this one. We found that the child owned 17 dolls, countless picture books, blocks unnumbered, three doll carriages, wagon, an automobile; ' things, and things, and things. Her room was a clutter of things. ‘The house was filled to the doors with things. “Strip her room almost bare. Leave only the necessary furniture and about three toys. Let life be a little bare for a time and the child will find re: Very soon the temper tantrums van- d. A little child is very easily confused. Looking at too many things, handling too many things, hearing too much talk, seeing too many people, brings on & nervous irritability that results in tem- per tantrums and other expressions of overwrought nerves. For children space is necessary. Space in the physi- cal world first, then space in the mental world follows. Space, open places, elbow room—this is essential to health of body and mind . Too much of anything is bad for Consclentious teachers often The child learns a lesson quickly and easily. “Ah” says the teacher, “give him some more " and more, and more, and more fis added until there is none of the bless- ed space where the spirit may find refuge and the child is overwrought and unnerved. Let life be a little bare jere and there. Provide for space. Give the child a chance to use his imagination in peopling places, in filling spaces for himself. Let him invent a toy. make up a story, dispose of his own spars time, once in a while. It is neither right nor wise to take up all the space there is in a child’s life, phvsically or mentally. It does a child no harm to work easily within his powers with an oc- casional burst of spesd to keep. him from stagnating, It lets him gather power, store up energy for that oc- casional burst of speed. If you fill his space too full you speed him all the way and there can be no occasion- al bursts of speed, no glory of high power for him. A temper tantrum, or Saint Vitus dance is the only refuge left the too crowded child. Be wise and leave his life a little bare here and there.

In some mysterious out-of-the-way place these ancient actor men have existed, awaiting the beginning of the play season. And now, like so many newly opened cocoons, they appear chatting and trying out their wings. Bob Armstrong's wife wanted him to him in his library talking to the most attractive of the men she had bidden to her dinner party. “What do men find to talk about when they get together?” she asked him. “You, all look so interested I hate to take you away to play cards.” “We ate casting—for my new pic- ture with Jimmie Gleason.” And that was that. A few nights later Bob found the Mrs. deep in con- versation with a knot of women just when cards were about to be dealt. “Well,” said he with a grin, “I sup- pose you're going to tell me you're casting?” “We are casting.” said Mrs. Bob; “casting a few aspersions.” Evelyn Brent was one of the first of the stars to take up the sun-tan fad.
