WOMAN’S PAGE Selections for Su BY MARY MARSHALL. To wear clothes suitable for the time and the occasion is an axiom of careful | dressing, and of these two proprieties that of the oceasion is decidedly more important, especially during the rather informal months of Summer. No woman can dress entirely by the clock. There are occasions in the Sum- | eggshell biue, mauv PALE ROSE CHIFFON WAS USED | FOR THIS DAYLIGHT DINNER DRESS, WITH FLOWERS OF A DEEP AND PALE ROSE PIQUE mer when the formal evening dress would be as out of place at 7 or even 10 o'clock as a skiing costume. 1In fact, most women have no need whatever for the formal type of evening dress during the warmer months, and the most useful sort of dinner dress is one that can be worn any time during the late after- WHO REMEMBERS?

(Coprright, 1930) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Baby's daily bath usually takes place one-half hour before his second morn- ing feeding. It remains with the mother whether it will be a dally howl and | struggle or a period of splash and| gurgle. All preparations for the bath should be completed before baby is taken from his bed. The water is drawn and the bath thermometer sunk into it to give an accurate idea of whether we are intending to wash baby or perchance | The mother's hand is a poor index of the water's heat, and a | 25-cent thermometer will end all guess- | ing.

Wash face with clear water and wipe dry. Put a drop of mineral oil on a tightly twisted rod of cotton and drop in each nostril. Do this quickly and don’t poke at baby’s nose. He hates it.

Wash head with soap and water, using good friction over top of | head, where dirt and scales so easily | gather (due chiefly to mother's fear of | touching the soft spot). Rinse head and wipe dry. Do not wash baby's mouth, and if there are white spots in it (thrush), bring this o the attention of the doctor, who will ~xplain its cause and treat it before it spreads. | Dip clean bits of cotton in salt water and wipe each eye from the inner to outer edge of eyelid. If there is any secretion in the ‘eye, this needs medical attention, and is not to be treated at home. This may be a serious infection. | Wash the outside, but do not touch the inside of the ears. | Soap baby all over following these preliminaries and slip him into the tuo. | If he is manifestly afraid of being plunged into the water, stretch a towel over the top of the tub and eate him into the water gently.

She and Nancy were checking over the last-minute items which would make or mar her hap- piness on the trip. Big things, like passports and luggage, are taken care of as a matter of course, but Nancy had discovered that smaller items bulked large in the day-by-day living abroad. Before she was married, Nancy had spent many years in Europe, and felt almost as much at home in Paris as she did in her own home. “Pirst of all, ‘Johnny’ you want to ask your doctor and dentist for ad- dresses of reputable professional men in all the large European cities that you will visit. You never know when an emergency will arise. “In your address book put the name of your nearest relative who should be notified in case of illness or accident. “If T were you I would carry a letter of credit. Have some express checks as wel', and a small amount of cur- rency of the first country you will reach. Then you are in need of a commodious hand bag to carry your passport, ad- dress book, and your money. If I were you, I would choose one which is incon- spicuous and which has a compartment to be securely closed with zipper or clasp. “I learned that good-fitting stock- | ings were hard to find, so I would take a goodly supply of those. “Three or four yards of soft gauze will not come amiss. I think I men- tioned the need for easily washed un- derwear. “And have you packed & pair of dark glasses? They will save your eyes | that long nap for which you have been | from glare on both sea and land. My, but I wish I were going with you,” and Nancy stifled a pang of envy.

I have a good scholastic record, am & good musician and fairly popular among my class- mates. Yet at any social gathering I am a perfect frost with the girls. They simply can't see me. I don't dance and am too busy with my studies to learn ! Do you think that is the trouble, or do you think that it is just my inability to mix with people? TOM. Answer: Tt is just as important. Tom, for a boy to learn parlor tricks as Greek or Latin or higher mathematics. In fact, you will have a lot more use for them and for a good, peppy line of talk than you will for the dead languages, and you will be called on oftener to figure how to negotiate a crowded ball room | than you will how to work & problem in trigonometry. So if I were you I would take a little time off from my studies and learn how to do the things that other young people are doing. Certainly you can't | expect any girl to want you to cut in on her at a ball if you don’t know how to dance. Nor can you expect one to sit out dances with you when her feet | | are aching to be two-stepping. Nowadays it is part of a polite education to be accomplished in the things other people do. You must know how to drive a car, how to swim, how to | dance, how to play a good game of bridge and tennis and golf if you expect to be popular in society. People don't care to have those around who are misfits, no matter how ‘many sterling virtues they may have, or how learned they are. And especially women don’t like men who don't know how to mix with the crowd, but who call for some special treatment. Your success in life will depend largely on your ability to adapt yourself to others, and to win their favor, so take my advice and begin cultivating the graces as well as the more serious things of life. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—Suppose a girl of 30 is in love with a boy of 22 and wants to marry him. Would you call her a cradle snatcher. AT SEA. | Answer: There is no such thing as a girl of 30. Any woman of 30 is a | mature, grown-up woman, and she is ages older than a boy of 22, and I think she does a foolish thing to marry him. In considering the disparity of age when the woman is the older the thing that matters is not how old the woman is, but how old the man is. If he has arrived at the years of maturity and his character is formed, 8 or 10 years' difference is of slight moment. If this young man were 30 and you were 38 you would not need hesitate to march to the altar with him, because he would be old enough to know his | own mind and to consider every phase of the subject, and there would be small | likelihood that he would ever change. But when he is only 22 he is still a k;i. with his tastes unformed, and there would be great likelihood that he would change and regret his marriage after i he was grown up. DOROTHY DIX.

JR. ‘When declarer has to lead a suit which contains the three top honors— two in one of his hands, and one in the other—experience has shown that it is wise to win the first trick with one of the honors from the hand which contains two honors. There are three very good reasons for this. First, it keeps entry cards in both hands as long as possible. Second, it defers & possible finesse without the loss of a trick or any high cards on account of delaying the finesse., Third, it may develop or uncover & sure finesse nst the adverse jack. For example, should declarer wish to lead a suit com- containing the ace, queen, he would, of course, lead high, and then a low card. If the jack should be on the left of the ace, queen hand, even if accompanied by three small cards, he would be cap- tured. Should declarer lead & small card from the ace, queen hand, or the king from the knig, 10-spot hand, it would mean one trick in that suit for the adversaries. This explains how to lead the three top honors, according to the opinion of the leading bridge authorities. ‘Whenever you are so unfortunate as 0 be left with a no trump, which you have bid on the minimum require- ments, namely, three suits safely stopped, a hand which does not con- tain & worthless singleton, and a eount of 13, for dealer, counting the ace as 4, the king as 3, the queen as 2, the jack as 1 and two 10s as 1, and your dummy offers you less than normal expectancy, al the two hande p) as if you held ail ghe other high cards in the deck in closed han Your Appetite!

Y. ents have no way of knowing how little you have bid on, and with a weak dummy they naturally expect you to hold a strong hand. In other words, they are likely to overestimate your strength, and a clever player will often win the odd from this fact, that the adversaries do not realize your weak- ness. Often declarer with a no trump declaration finds he has a suit headed by the ace, king and queen, with the jack missing. It makes no difference whether these honors are all in one hand or divided between the two hands, | and if they are divided it makes no | difference whether there are two or one in declarer'’s hand; but one hand should contain three cards of the suit and the other hand four cards of the | suit. It is hard to resist from leading | a suit that looks as pretty as this im- mediately declarer takes a trick and gets in; but with this holding the play of a single round of it should be post- poned as long as possible. ‘There is a_reason for ry_play T give in these talks, and I to give the reason with the ) raeson for holding off the play of sul a suit is that should one of versaries hold four cards of tI you may make one of his fol good after the suit has been led Should this sult be led onc they would know right away that it would not be wise to any of that suit, whereas, should you post- pone leading the suit, they may discard some of the little cards of that suit. If it is necessary to lead a suit of character for a lead, or to adversaries from making many tricks in an established suit should you let them in, then you have no in the matter.
