There are some women who have hesitated about bu{ln‘ a fur coat this season fearing that it might be out of fashion in. another season. For the woman of and judgment such fear is really unreasonable. Any coat of q\nutkm in conservative style certainly in good style next season. Only one should not yleld to the temptation to buy a coat of the more exaggerated interpretation of the new mode. Even very rich women do not usually feel justified in discarding a fine fur coat after a single season, so furriers have become past masters in the art of designing coats that are at the same time smart and conservative. There is an advantage always in se- lecting a fur of the fairly usual sort. An unusual fur or a usual fur dyed to an unusual color may be difficult to match in case there is need of altera- tion. Seal, Hudson seal, caracul, beaver, mink, Fersian lamb are furs that re- main in fashion, furs that can always be matched by a good furrier. ‘This week’s help for the home dress- maker shows how to make the frill for a vestee or blouse to be worn with car- digan or suit jacket.

JOHN MUNCE, JB. . Coming now to the leads against & no trump declaration when your partner has not bid, there are many conven- tions to determine when you lead high and when you lead low, or fourth best. The leads against a no trump when your partner has not bid have to be governed entirely by leader's hand. The failure of leader’s partner to bid, usual- ly shows that he has no particular suit to establish, therefore it is better to open the lead with your longest suit. The card to be led often depends on whether the hand contains a re-entry or not, as you not only want to estabe lish your suit, but to be able to get the lead back into your hand and take tricks with the small cards of that suit. By re-entry I mean a high card in your hand with which you might rea- sonably expect to take a trick. The {ollg:'tng is a short summary of these eads: In leading your own suit, if it con- three honors, such as ace, king, queen &nd three small cards, lead the ace, or what is called the top of touch- ing honors; with these two exceptions, when holding a long suit headed by ace, king, 10-spot and others, lead fourth best; with ace, king, jack and others and no re-entry, lead fourth best. If the suit contains seven cards headed by the ace, king, jack, lead the king, because the suit is too strong to open with the fourth best lead and does not contain sufficient strength to lead the ace, which would call for your part- ner's highest card of that suit. With less than three honors lead fourth best, unless holding sequences, which make the leading of an honor the best lead. With queen, jack'and 9-spot, lead the queen; with jack, 10-spot and -9-spot, or jack, 10-spot and 8-spot, lead ‘he lack; with ace, 10-spot and 9-spot, or ing, 10-spot and 9-spot, or queen, 10-spot and 9-spot, lead the 10-spot. ‘There is one particular lead to re- member, and that is that the lead of an ace against a no-trump declaration al- ways calls for the highest card of the sult in the hand of leader’s partner. Do not lead an ace unless you want your partner to put his highest card on it regardless of its size. ‘When it comes to discussing the leads against a suit declaration remember that instead of trying to establish your long suit of your partner's you want to take as many tricks as possible with your high cards and the high cards held by your partner before the declarer has the opportunity to get in and discard any small cards of the sults in which you are strong. Therefore, we will con- sider the leads against a suit declara- tion in the same way we did the no trump; namely, first, the leads against & suit declaration when your partner has bid, and second, the leads against a sult declaration when your partner has not bid. It is well to remember that de- clarer has shown strength in the suit bid, and, generally speaking, it is better to lead the highest card in your hand of the suit your partner has bid. When holding ace, king, jack, or ace, king in another suit, it is often better to lead the king, and take what seems to be a sure trick, before opening up your part- ner’s suit. This also gives you the op- portunity of seeing the dummy before leading your partner’s suit, which some- times is very helpful.

Temporal Blessings, “And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy all the good of his labor, it is the gift of God."— Ecce,, 111,13, All our temporal blessings, no less than our spiritual blessings, are gifts of God. d God meant all these creatural comforts for our enjoyment. He meant them, not only to make life Ppossible, but to mmite life pleasurable. Spiritual things afford to ti pir- ltually minded delights superior to an; earthly delights. But material things were meant to afford us delight, and it is entirely proper, indeed a duty, that we should delight in them. Life has a higher end than eating and drinking, and making merry in the pleasures that belong to the physical side of our existence. But I am sure our Heavenly Father is pleased to see his children eating and drinking, and enjoying the temporal bounties spread upon His table. These bounties are best enjoyed by those who recognize them as provisions of the Father and partake of them with thankful hearts, To get the greatest enjoyment from all creatural goods, we need to remember always that they come from God and never to for- get to be grateful for them. Another thing, we need to learn not to want too much, to be content with meg‘ve.mng;uwelluve and not to be- grudge other people the things have because we cannot have them. If we have too much, we are apt to lose the enjoyment of what we have through surfeiting. And there is no surer way of spoiling our enjoyment of the little we may have than to be al- ways wanting more and envying others who have more. *ittle nerbous hearin’ so many skreekin’ roises; an’ anyhow—it ain't RIGHT.

RICHARDSON & ROBBINS Established since 1855 the |52 Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. December 24, 1860.—An astounding robbery of $830,000 in State bonds from a safe in the Interior Department has been discovered and some of the details were made public today. Several days ago Gordon Bailey, the law clerk of the department—a native of South Carolina, appointed from Ala- years old and admitted to be a person of remarkably fine abilities and attain- ments—placed in the hands of a friend & letter to be handed to Secretary of the Interior Thompson. Mr. Thompson's recent absence from the city. Mr. Bailey’s manner was such as to cause his friend to press him with in- %uirlu as to the contents of the letter. pon learning them, the friend has- tened to deliver the letter to Secretary Thomnson on the instant of his return nl,xl_::, before last. e letter proved to be a voluntary confession from Bailey that, at the in- stance of another person, he abstracted from the iron safe under his charge and loaned to that other person $830,000 ot the State bonds held by the Secretary ot 311%! Interior in trust for sundry Indian s. It seems that Secretary Thompson had endeavored to induce Peter Lam.- mond, the r r treasurer of the de- artment, to e custodian of these nds, but Mr. Lammond was not obliged to do so under the law or reg- ulations of the department and declinea the responsibility. Secretary Thomp- son then intrusted them to the keeping of Mr, Bailey, who was under bond of $10,000 for the faithful performance of other trusts, but not that one. Ever since the discovery of the theft Secretary Thompson and his assistants B nds. alley sa: he dfd not ive a dollar from the roceeds of the bonds. A warrant for lley’s arrest was issued today. It appears that there was & plan w sell the bonds and buy them back at a lower figure. When they were not re- turned, Balley became alarmed and de- clded to confess the whole affair.

Answer—As you are very thin ana also troubled with puffiness under the eyes, I am afrald that there may be some underlying physical cause. If you have indigestion, kidney trouble or oth- er internal disturbances, you will con- tinue to have puffiness under the eyes and lack robust health, regardless of any local treatment that you may give, unless you remove the underlying cause. Consult your physiclan and have a thorough physical examination as well as local treatments. Be sure that you have sufficient sleep and rest and take some mild exercise in the fresh air every day. Try to gain until you are as near your ideal weight as possible. At bea- time cleanse the skin thoroughly, using & cleansing oil or cream, and then wasn with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse well and dry. Then pat on a little tissue cream, food cream or a nourish- ing ofl under and around the eyes ana leave it on overnight. Be sure to mas- sage very gently. Use the first ana second fingers on both hands. Place the finger tips directly beneath the eyes, press gently around the outer corners and upward, following the contour of fl‘lehceyu. Give this massage every night. In the morning after washing the face apply the following mild astringent: Four ounces witch hazel, five grains tannic acid, one scant teaspoonful boric acid, two ounces rosewater.
