Blessed he who brings relief And puts an end to fear and —Lighttoot ‘The moment Farmer Brown's Boy saw the two Deer lying head to head, un- able to get to their feet, he understood exactly what had happened. He had never seen such a thing before, but he had read about it. “Locked antlers!” exclaimed Farmer Brown’s Boy. “The poor things! Just see how they roll their eyes at me!” He walked around the two fallen an- imals, and presently they struggled to their knees and then to their feet. By they were so tired and so weak th‘yt thz trembled. And they did roll their eyes. It seemed to Farmer Brown'’s Boy as if those eyes were sim- ply begging him to do something. He didn't waste any time. He turned on his heel and began to hurry away. Peter Robbit, who had been peeping out and watching hopefully, was dis- ted. Farmer Brown's Boy had been there and had done nothing. “J told you he couldn’t do anything!” cried Sammy Jay. “Perhaps he's gone to get some one to help him,” said Peter, trying to ap- grief. the Deer. r hopeful. “I don’t believe it,” said Sammy Jay, just to tease Peter. ~Nevertheless, Sammy in a few minutes flew away and secretly followed Farmer Brown's Boy. The latter hurried back home. He went to the barn. Presently he reappeared with something in his hands., What it was Sammy Jay didn’t know. Sammy waited only long enough to see that Farmer Brown's Boy was heading straight back for the Green Forest. Then Sammy flew back as fast as he could go. “He's coming back! Faimer Brown’s Boy's coming back!” he cried. “What did I tell you!" cried Peter Joyfully. . Now, the thing that Farmer Brown's Boy had gone home for was a saw. The two Deer were down again.

BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS, JOHN MUNCE, Jr. In the hands today there are bound to be differences of opinion as to the bidding, but you should remember that many bids as well as plays are optional in bridge and the bidder or player is the one to decide which is the best bid or play to be made, at the same time playing a partnership game, and by the bids and plays try to mirror your hand to your partner. Never misinform your partner y bid or play and you will always be in demand as a part- ner for good bridge players. for today are as follows: South, the dealer, holds: gy nds—K, 5. o s ‘West, or second hand, holds: ri Diamonds—8, Clubs—8, % 4 North, or third hand, holds: Clubs—9, 6, 3, 3. 9 East, or fourth hand, holds: S g"m“xf_&' l%: 3 10. at these hands, you see what Looking . |is called & freak distribution of cards, and whenever you happen to hold such a hand as East holds you should always realize that some one else at the table must have & freak hand also. These hands were played at auction, 50 we will take up first the auction bid- ding. South bids one heart on the four-card suit headed by the A, K and (@ which s & perfectly legitimate bid. 'West, of course, can do nothing but pass. His hand does not contain a trick. Coming to North, if North is a timid player he will likely pass. If he is thoughtless he will bid two hearts, giv- ing his partner one raisé, which would not shut out a bid by East should his t | holding warrant & bid. A bold bidder would bid four, hoping to shut out a by East if East’s hand warranted a bid, and at the same time he would not expect to make his bid, but would be C., WEDNESDAY, Can Wives Decides It Is Perfect P:'n’dbl‘: DorothyDix A WOMAN who signs herself “A Mere Wife” writes me that she considers my theory that husbands and wives should carry the amenites of courtship into marriage and make as great an effort to be pleasant and agreeable to each other after marriage as they were before marriage to be all blah, as the intelligentsia say. She declares that the thing can't be done. At any rate, not by wives. “In the first place,” she says, “the girl was not annoyed by a man who rose at 4 o'clock in the morning and hammered and sawed around the house and woke everybody up. She got undisturbed, refreshing sleep and didn't start the day on a nervous strain. “At the time she yes-yesed him before marriage he wasn't planning anything more important than a pienic, or which theater to go to, so it was easy enough to fall in with his plans, but it is a different story when a husband is determined on fixing up a home to suit himself, regardless of her taste, or when he is going into debt beyond seeing his way out. And how can an intelligent wife always agree with her husband when she enjoys high-class entertainment and he likes nothing but a silly comedy? Husbands? “And how can a wife continually compliment and flatter her husband's business ability when he can make money for those he works for, but brings very little home. “It is easy enough for a girl to be pleasant and amiable before marriage, be- cause then she has nothing to worry about, but it is a different story when she hfahievenl live children who keep her on the jump all day and far into the night. “Before marriage when her date suggested taking the girl to an entertain- ment, he was spending his own money, so she could well be amenable to his plans and go wherever he took her. But when she has worked as hard for the a:onc_v that is paid out for amusement as he has, she has a right to choose where ey go. . “Before marriage the wife could make the most of her good looks by pa- tronizing the beauty parlor and dolling herself up, but after marriage the money has to go for food and rent and baby specialists and to keep husband making a good appearance, and there is precious little left for the wife. “And before marriage the girl could be sweet and optimistic bcause she didn't have a lot of people-in-law trying to boss her. “Before marriage a girl is eager and enthusiastic, because she thinks the man she is going to margy is a fairy prince, and that her marriage is going to be a little bit of heaven on earth, and after marriage she is disillusioned and dis- couraged and tired, and she has found out that her husband is just a plain, ordinary man who has to be handled like a spoiled child, and that marriage is nothing but cooking and sewing and baby-tending and anxiety about where the rent money is coming from. “And that's why a lot of us wives don’t apply the technique of courtship to marriage. Conditions have changed. The men have changed. We have changed. Courtship is one thing, and marriage is something else yet again, Mawruss.” But so is everything else in the world. There is disillusionment in everything. Nothing in life ever comes up to the flamboyant pictures our imaginations paint when we are young. We are all like the child who went to the circus and wept to be taken out so that he could look at the posters that were hanging-on the out- side and that were so much more thrilling and exciting and hair-raising than the actuality on the inside. And that’s why it always seems to me that women are r rts they howl to heaven because they discover that marriage is nopbog K:l;'orom:ll:::. but just a daily grind of keeping house and taking care of children and putting up with the faults and foibles of & man who has ceased to be a lover and just become papa who pays the bills. No one will deny the hardships of such a fate. No one will claim that such a lot is full of excitement and thrills, but neither is any other human destiny a sinecure. There is no way a woman can stop the hands of the clock and remain always sweet-and-20, with the carefree heart of a girl. In one way or another she is bound to meet the responsibilities of life. Of course, courtship and marriage are different. Of course, m: bring with it burdens and responsibilities. Of course, the mméy L;?:moz go for luxuries now goes fdr necessities. Of course, the man says it with pork chops instead of orchids. Of course, no man and woman on earth can think alike on every subject and have the same tastes and desires, But because marriage isn't all one's fondest fancy painted it, why thr one’s hands and quit? Why not make the best of it as we do of :ny a{h‘er entars prise into which we have gone? Why not use the same tact, the same suavity, the same flatteries, the same consideration in dealing with our husbands and wives that we used in dealing with our sweethearts? We know the bait that caught qur poor fish. Why not continue to use it? bl (Copyright, 1930.) e sible. So we will say that North bids four hearts. East, holding six spades, headed by the A, K, Q no hearts and the aces and queens of the diamond and club suits, would unhesitatingly bid four spades. ‘The second round of bidding would be South's doubling the four spades, expecting at least one high card from I am convinced that black is black, that white is often white, and people often seek my shack to show me I'm not right. For there are men who love debate and argument and strife; they're always glad to sit up late, to bore me and my wife. Whatever stand I chance to take, these folks would come along, his partner, who had jumped his bid from one to four. ‘West again passes. North, by the first bid, told South that he wanted hearts, and nothing else, and showed a certain amount of strength. Now North, after the double by South of the four spades, bids five hearts, again telling his partner that he wants to play hearts, and nothing else, East, with his very strong hand, naturally doubles the five-heart bid for business. Three passes follow and the bidding is closed, South getting the fontract at five hearts doubled. East hated to give up the contract, but real- izing that his partner held nothing felt that he was likely to set op- ients with the strong band he held, ing that they would not be able to make their five odd tricks. ‘The final bid would have been the same at contract. The play of these hands will be given next week. P Smothered Round Steak. ‘While one hble!poon&fl of chopped suet is being fried out®pound half a cupful of flour with the blunt edge of a butcher knife or with a saucer into both sides of a plece of round steak which is about 1% inches thick. Turn the fat from the suet into the frying- pan and sear the meat quickly on both sides, then draw the meat to one side of the pan and slice into the fat a medium-sized onion. Reduce the heat, stir often until the onion is brown, then add one cupful of cold water. Bring to & boil, cover and simmer over a low fire until the meat is well done, or for about an hour. Half an hour before serving time stir into the gravy half a teaspoon- trying to make his loss as small as pos- ful of salt. and they would make the welkin quake, convincing me I'm wrong. And so I seldom take a stand, with all men I agree, and neighbors say I have no sand and cease to bother me. “I under- stand,” said Dr. Quack to me last Tues- day ht, “that you insist that black is black, and eke that white is white. Now I have walked some 14 blocks some argument to throw; I am not like the other docs, I let no error go.” Doc Quack, he has a silver throat, his voice to him seems sweet; he'd talk the whis- kers off a goat, he'd rather talk than eat. And if I showed a mild desire to prove I am not wrong, the doctor, he would never tire, he'd talk the whole night long. And so I gently he his T H ere OCTOBER 15, 1930. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Charming Day Frock. It's the important lightweight tweed frock that has come into a place of its own. It meets so many needs for all- day occasions in smart woman's ward- robe. ‘The neckline is unusually graceful and slimming. The hips are extremely flat.and accentuated by the side-but- ton®d closing. The long fitted sleeves are narrowly cuffed in self-fabric. A belt of the self-fabric rests at the top of the hips and is fastened with an enameled ‘buckel. It's easily copied! It's simplicity it- self to make it. The saving is great. Style No. 905 is designed in sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 inches bust. ‘Wool jersey, crepy plain and pat- terned woolens, canton crepe and flat crepe are equaily smart for this model. Size 36 requires two and one-half yards 54-inch with one-fourth yard 40- inch contrasting. For a pattern of this style send 15 cents in. stamps or coin directly to ‘The Washington Star’s New York Fash- fon Bureau, Fifth avenue and Twenty- ninth street, New York. We suggest that when you send for this pattern, you inclose 10 cents addi- tional for a copy of our new Fall and Winter Fashion Magazine, A copy should be in every home, for, of course, every woman wants to look her best without great expense and this book points the wa, and courteously say, “I quite agree with any toff who says that black is gray.

Men sometimes say it is & shame that I will take no stand; I have convictions just the same, but keep them well in hand. . V‘SA:‘[",T MASON. ) FEATURES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Very few girls and women realize how much bodily wellbeing depends upon correct posture. A large percent- age of both business and home women give little or no thought to how they stand. Critics of feminine pulehritude tell us that the majori girls and women stand with one down, just :k: hol;e does whenhfi umured o’: P. Such an ungainly ure &&Hmenul to health and beauty, but good as well as for bad, A man who has worn a soldier’s uni- form for any length of time can always recognized when in civilian clothes because of the erectness of his body and his correct posture, when sitting, stand- ing or walking. Correct posture is also noticeable at training camps where men train for athletic sports and in er camps where Boy and Girl Scouts are drilling and ticing. men and women who live near and see the example set by them hold up ir heads and throw their shoulders well back and walk more correctly than do persons who are not in close contact with this training. Once the correct habit has been acquired, however, the old incorrect manner of standing is dis- carded forever. If we stand correctly, the body is in such a position that all the internal organs are well supported, and no undue strain is thrown on any one structure, the weight being distributed and held equally by the whole framework. The erect standing position is main- tained by holding the body as tall as possible without actually rising on to the toes. In this. way the trunk is given its greatest length; there is the largest, space available for the organs; the muscles of the front, back and sides are in perfect balance, none is ed; the head is erect and so poised that none of the muscles is overworked. In a correct standing position, a line dropped vertically through the body from the crown of the head falls in front of the ankle joints. The spine is at its full extension, and the shoulders are well back to allow full expansion of the chest. Now consider what happens if we adopt this other slouching pos- ture. The shoulders and head are poked forward so that the chest is contracted, and tbmnl;:mlre l?nsumdenl room for e ult—incomplete af of the blood, with mulum argy. The spine is unduly curved out at the shoulders and in at the waist, & condition known as “lordosis,” which re- sults in relaxation of the abdominal muscles. The stomach and other ab- dominal organs then tend to drop lower than their normal positiom, and the processes of digestion are delayed. Correct posture, therefore, is more a matter of habit than anything else. If this good habit has been acquired in early childhood, the muscies are un- consclously held in a state of tonic eon- traction, so that the spine is properly supported; if not, the habit can be at- tained by corrective exercises and by practicing correct posture at all times when sitting, standing or_walking. 2 DODGE PRICES REDUCED!
