MAGAZINE PAGE. Frock for Summer Mornings BY BARBARA BELL. XPERIENCED housewives have a strong preference for warm- weather dresses with untrim- med necklines. At once they are cool, neat and economical of laundry. The accompanying sketch shows a well-cut. dress designed to give plenty of freedom of movement at the points a busy woman requires it. The bodice is simply cut and has deft touches which lift it above the rank and file of house frocks. The design follows & yoked theme, where- in points are used to give long, slen- derizing lines. Two types of sleeves are available—full-length ones and the short, slashed ones shown. The dress is made from seven easy-to-under- stand pattern pieces, which average sewers will be able to put together in a very short time. Becoming colors and good lines are | everything in wash frocks. This year there is no excuse for unattractive selections, for cottons have never been | lovelier, Seersuckers are triumphing over materials that require more care in washing.

They turned their heads ever so little toward one another. A glimmer of apprehension and relief came into their eves They had learned one new point in the endless riddle of their master's mind. “And why have you wanted to ride through Mexico, up and down?” asked Juan-Silva. “It is a great country, with plenty to see,” sald Montana. “And I have seen most of it!” he boasted. “If you have seen it, why do you still come?” “To see it all again, senor.” “And you are El Keed? Even I have heard of him,” said Juan-Silva. “Now tell me the truth and I think there'll be no harm for you here in the Val- Jey of the Dead. Why did you come here?” “Because 10,000 pesos are posted up for me.” “You were hunted, eh?” “Every man in the mountains was cleaning his rifie. The cattle men were fixing their eyes for me. The shepherds, even, were whetting their knives.” “And at last they drove you in here for refuge?” “I thought it was better to be a living man among the dead than a dead man among the living.” “Do you hear, my children?” said Juan-Silva. “This man is. also witty. Very soon he will have me laughing. El Keed is known to be a pleasant fellow—and perhaps this is really El Keed. Think, then, if I catch in my hand, in one day, a friar and El Keed walking together! But El Keed,” he went on, “carries with him a magic pair of guns that never miss.” “Mine miss plenty of times,” said Montana frankly. > It was not heat that was making him sweat now; it was the thought of joining those rows of chained labor- ers in the field. “Set him free, foot and hand,” com- manded Juan-Silva. This was done instantly. Juan- Silva dipped his hand and his with- ered arm into the water that ran be- fore him and picked out one of the big shining white pebbles. As soon as it was taken from the water the silver brilliance began to leave it. “This is a bird. tossed the stone into the air. ‘The gun flashed into the hand of the Kid, but he missed that best mo- ment when the stone hangs a trifie at the top of the throw. He missed it there; he missed it as it gathered speed in the descent; but his third bullet turned the rock into a puff of white dust when it was just above the ground. “Well,” said Juan-Silva, canting his head critically to one side, “that is very good, but that is not El Keed. Try again!” He picked up two stones and threw them very high and to a distance. The Kid, turning, found the terrible sun in his eyes. The stones were little black specks. One of them he knocked into noth- ingness at the top of its rise. The (3 THE EVENING colors every one likes—in solids, or checked, striped or plaided.

Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 national champion- ships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the one-over-one principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. The One-Over-One. N LINE with the five to five and [ a half primary trick game prob- ability theory a system of re- | sponses was devised. If your part- | ner opened the bidding, showing two and a half primary tricks, and you held two and a half to three and a half, you should force him by a jump response, Fit, or lack of fit, didn’t enter into the matter at all. Nor did the possibility of saving a round of bidding, or catching the opponents in & weak moment. If you held a good hand, you had to declare it immediately. One heart, two spades. Is there any chance of get- ting a three-diamond overcall after such bidding? ‘When your partner has opened the bidding, he has indicated a certain amount of strength and, inferentially, the ability to handle obstreperous op- ponents. Your only problem is to get to the right declaration. With & hand that seemed to prom- |ise a certain slam in view of your partner’s opening bid, a two-over-one would be all right; but the bid was so horribly misused that I grew to prefer a one-over-one under all cir-| cumstances. The opponents never know what type of hand you hold.| They're afrald to bid: they're afraid | not to bid. On the other hand, your partner sweeps along sercnely. He has promised a rebid by his opening. | He makes that rebid, and you either force, construct or pass. At the other end of the scale was the pitiful holding, such as, 8p. Q-J-x-x-x-x Di. Q-x-x Hts. xox Cll J-x Not even & trick and a half in the | entire mess! | | At first the early geniuses suggested passing this hand completely, unless partner opened with one spade. As | the requirements for foreing two bids | | were raised, the requirements for a re- | | sponse over an opening one bid were | lowered, and it was conceded that partner should bid something on the above hand. Zhe mechanical details were there. Without a trick and a half, the responder must bid one no| trump. Whether the spade suit ever | | was shown depended on the opener’s | | rebid. | | T argued that bidding one no trump on & hand such as the above was simply waste. Is your partner mo- ronic? Can't he be trusted to give |you a little leeway, even if you do' show him a suit? Spades is the safety of the hand, so far as you are con- cerned.

Answer: Oh, yes, my children, BOB AND SALLY. you don’t have to go to a fortune teller who is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and was born in a caul to have the fate of your marriage foretold, to learn how it will turn out. There are plenty of signs and omens right under your noses and visible to the naked eye that will apprise you of your fate if you will only look for them. <OR instance, it is a sure sign that your marriage will turn ouc unhappily if you think that all that is necessary to make a marriage a success is love. It isn't. It tak es love, of course, but to that you have to add hard work and self-sacrifice and iact and good, hard, horse sense. If you quarrel before marriage and haven't the same tastes about cosmetics and movies and clothes and things to ~at, it is a sure sign that you will be in a perpetual row after marriage. If before marriage each of you is determined to have his own way and neither one is willing to give in to the other or consider the other’s pleasure, it is & sign that never fails that you will fight from the sltar ‘o the divorce court. EITHER of you is jealous and gets green-eyed every time you see P I your intended out with another girl or boy; if you do not trust each other before marriage, it is sign that you will never have a single happy moment after you are married. If the man is ot willing to work and bring home the bacon and the woman is not willing to stay at home and cook it, it is a sign that there will be no peace and comfort in the home. If a bride and bride- groom think they can frolic around after marriage as they did before and have little flirtations with other girls and boys, it is a sure sign they are headed for the divorce court.

F YOU count the mink’s blessings you are likely to come to the conclusion he is the highly-fa- vored one of the woodlands. He has boundless resources when danger threatens.

He can outwit a wildcat or & dog With the ability to make his body slender, he can hide in the home of a squirrel or dart into the burrow of a chipmunk. He may have short legs, but he doubles [l 5 e Lw.,. : = Caag oo g JRe 2t g g &= himself into the form of = hoop, straightening out again with every jump, and thus he travels with un- believable swiftness. He has the sleight-of-hand artist easily beaten when it comes to hiding. You see him a few feet away and the next moment he has disappeared un- der the leaves, snow or grass. When the mink hunts grouse he goes about pointing them as a dog would, brushing the underbrush and beating the low growth in a most efficient manner. 1If it is mice he has a longing for, he goes after them with vim and vigor. You must learn to imitate the squeak of the mouse and the voice of the squirrel. Then you can call the mink, and see how excited he gets with every squeak he hears but cannot trace. As a hunter he is not limited to | time, and sleeps only when he needs Children | COX ATHEY. a rest. Rainy weather has no terrors for him. Adventure is what he craves ! and what he gets. Sometimes you will see & mink sitting perfectly erect, eyeing the landscape with the most alert expression you will ever see on an animal's face. Then, dropping on all fours, the animal will go for a closer inspection, or spring noiselessly upon his unsuspecting victim. Few animals are so successful as mousers and few are such robbers of nests. They seem to get the most pleasure out of chasing mice and if you will take special care to watch them you will see much of the time that the mink is merely having fun, as he could easily catch the mouse. Rabbits are tormented in the same fashion. Mother mink selects a cozy site in April for the nursery. She looks well to the food supply close by, and has her home where rocks form a barri- cade from larger animals, using a | hollow log, lying In the woods, or & | stump where handsome cattails and | bullrushes conceal her doorway.

Jackson ’l‘HE coat of arms here shown ls used by the descendants of Sam- uel Jackson, an early settler in the Province of Maryland. He was the owner of 1200 acres of land on the lower peninsula of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, which Lord Baltimore decreed should be named in honor of “our dear sister, the Lady Mary Som- erset.” Samuel Jackson was a man skilled in trading and finance, and his name | is found affixed to many important deeds and transactions in the early | days.

The name is derived from the personal | | name Jack—Jackson, the “son of | | Jack,” and is found in all parts of the | | world today.

Then one may hope that, as he grows, he will come closer and closer to one’s idea of it. Mrs. M. B. is deploring her inability to frighten the child into better behavior. She writes: “I have need of help and informa- tion. My little girl will be 3 years old in March. She is very nervous and high strung. I tell her not to do things and she stamps her feet and will not mind and acts naughty. She does quite embarrassing things when I take her out in company. “My husband and I both holler at | her and threaten to spank her, but 1t does no good. What shall I do?

He saw that Johnny | was worrled and 50 soon left him, but | stopped at a distance to watch him | get down, and chuckled as he saw him | come down backward, clinging tightly | to the tree all the way. | Once on the ground, Johnny emitted | a little sigh of rellef. Here he was at home. Up in that tree he wasn't at home. “There is nothing like the good old | ground,” said Johnny, talking to him- self for lack of any one else to talk to. “On it or in it I am at home, and | I'm not at home anywhere else. I ought to have a hole around here | somewhere, It really isn't safe not to have one if I am to stay around here | at all, and I think I would like to for while.

Johnny is a good digger. There are few better. For a few minutes he made the earth fly. Then he stopped. He had to. You see, the frost was not vet wholly out of the | ground, and Johnny had dug down to where the earth was still frozen. He gave up in disgust. No use to wear his nails out trying to dig through that. Twice more he started holes, only to be stopped by frost. Then he found a sandy place and once The | Ehusikes BY JOHN HARVEY FURBAY,Ph.D. Stories W.

He didn't even make a back door as he would have done had he intended to make it his home. With this hole finished he felt easier in his mind. “Reddy will be back hers to see what has become of me,” thought he. “He'll get rid of Bowser the Hound and then he’ll come back here to try to find out what has become of me.

Reddy did get rid of Bowser, although he had to run farther than he wanted to before he succeeded. Then he re- turned straight to that tree in which he had left Johnny. Of course, Johnny wasn't there. He hadn't ex- pected he would be. He began to use his nose and he picked up John- ny's trail here and there.

(Copyright. 1915.) started and grinned, for he guessed just why Johnny had given up. Then he found the other holes and, finally, the one which Johnny had completed. He didn't undertake to dig Johnny out then. He was too tired from his long run to do any digging then. He knew he would have to be fresh and feeling at his best if he would have any chance at all to dig Johnny out. So he took care not to disturb Johnny and trotted home to the Old Pasture to rest and plan how to catch Johnny Chuck. And all the time he was planning Johnny Chuck was doing some plan- ning of his own. He was planning on how not to be caught. And that is the way it is on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest all the time, some all the time planning how to catch others and the others all the time planning how not to be caught. And when you come to think of it, life is not so very different from that with us humans. (Copyright. 1935.)

Most of us have what may be classified as passable features, A few have notice- ably distorted facial contours. The commonest of these undesirable facial varistions is the convex pro- file, with prominent nose overshadow- ing a short chin. It was surely not a member of our sex who wrote the lines, “My face, I don’t mind it because I'm behind it. 'Tis the people in front I annoy”—or words to that effect. Girls and women do mind having unattractive faces, and they are willing to do almost any- thing to keep from “annoying” others P!flm or near-perfect faces | with their facial defects. The beauty-seeker whose nose is too large for her own peace of mind turns desperately toward a surgical operation for a solution of her trouble. In many cases, however, she finds the cost prohibitive, involving, perhaps, a trip to the nearest large city., Then, too, there is the important problem of finding the right surgeon to do the work. As a result, by far the majority of girls and women who are dissatis- fled with their noses have to find other means of minimimizing their defect. 1t is here that the beauty specialist can do a real service. ‘There are many ways of making a large nose less prominent while bring- ing out a receding chin. Here are some pointers on how to accomplish this feat without resort to a surgeon: First. Use two shades of face pow- der—the darker one to tone down your nose, the lighter one to empha- size your chin. Second. Do not color lips vividly, but keep them relatively inconspicuous with a light-colored lipstitk, or none st all. [} | ‘Third. Play up the beauty of your eyes. Keep lashes and eyebrows dark and well groomed. Use a trace of eyeshadow. Fourth. Wear your hair long enough to arrange in a good-sized coll or curl cluster behind, at the level of your chin, Avoid a center part and one teaspoonful of salt in one quart of boiling water. When tender, drain, reserving the liquid. Mash and re- heat the carrots and onions with the potatoes and just before serving add one cupful each of heated milk and cream. was that he was & wastrel.
