WOMEN’ S FEATURES. Bedtime Stories A Race for Life. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Life is far too precious to Risk as some folk often do. —Old Mother Nature. FALCO THE DUCK HAWK, fly- ing over the Big River so high that, looking up, you would not have seen him as hardly’ more | than a speck in the sky, could see | with those wonderful eyes of his long | distances up and down the river.| Falco was over there with grown chil- | dren, and Mr. and Mrs. Wood Duck, with eight of their grown children, and Mr. and Mrs. Quack the Mallard Ducks, with four of their grown chil- dren, were spending much of their time on the Big River, where food was plentiful. They were preparing for the long journey which they would soon have to take to the Sunny South. Falco intended to have one of those Ducks, for there is nothing he is more fond of than a dinner of Duck. Presently as he watched he saw a lone Duck swim out from among the rushes along one bank. This lone Duck swam well out into the river. Falco's eyes gleamed, but he made no move to swoop down, for he knew that that Duck would simply dive and so_escape. So high up there in the air he watched and waited. Pres- ently that Duck took to flight. This was what Falco had been waiting, watching and hoping for. Of course, you know who it was. It was the young Wood Duck who was so proud of her speed when flying. You know she could outfly her brothers and sisters and her parents, and she had | come to think that there was no one | so swift of wing. Her mother had warned her that Falco the Duck Hawk could fly faster than she could, but this the young Duck had not believed. She had been chased by other Hawks and had no trouble in escaping them. flying very fast. She was flying very fast, indeed. Her stout wings were driving her through the air at won- derful speed. It is not surprising that she felt safe. High above her Falco prepared for the stoop, as the plunge of a Falcon is called. Suddenly he pitched forward at a sharp angle, driv- ing through the air at tremendous speed. It was now indeed a race for life The young Duck had almost reached the bed of wild rice in which her brothers and sisters and her parents | were feeding. Mother had seen her | coming, and had also seen Falco and | had given the alarm. All the Ducks were peering out and watching. What they saw was a lesson that they never would forget. There came their sister, flying as she had never flown before, for she had suddenly THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1935, Contract BY P. HAL SIMS, Defense With Trimmings.

Often the responder has to jump un- warrantedly to be sure of reaching a game declaration, and while, just as he suspected, the bonus is there in the cards, he may not win it. Later it is cold comfort to point out that there were other and better spots.

TTHIS is a very ancient family which for many centuries has been seated «In County Devon, England, from which various members of the family emi- grated to different parts of the world. The name has been spelled in many ways, those of the family locating in New York State writing it Carwith, while others have spelled it Carwithy and Cirwithen. Those of the family spelling the name Carwithen have ad- | hered to the ancient form. This family is well known in the United States, particularly in Pennsyl- vania and neighboring States, where members have lived for many genera- Her one thought now was to reach that bed of wild rice in which she might hide. At the speed at which she was going she could not take to the water again. She would have to | check herself before she could touch | the water and dive, and this she did not dare do. Down from the sky shot Falco. His toes, with their long claws, were tightly | | - closed, like two fists. They were not opened to clutch, but closed to strike a blow. Right opposite where her | brothers and sisters and her parents were hidden in the wild rice that blow was struck. Squarely in the midd dark. South chose the worst of two evils. He bid three no trumps. East made a good double for a spade open- ing. Four hearts can be beaten, but so can three no trump. South will wrap up his contract if West opens clubs, but West obediently led spades. Taking with the king on the board, South knocked out the ace of hearts. East shifted to a club. It was un- fortunate that South held the eight spot. When he ducked and that card fell, West felt safe in continuing the suit. South was able to run down five heart tricks, which, together with the club and the spade he had already taken, netted him precisely seven tricks. He never made his ace of spades, needless to say. West had a number of good clubs and East had | the ace of diamonds. ‘Whether West opens spades or not against four hearts, South must cash the ace and king in order to take & club discard. When East gets in with the ace of trumps he can return the queen of spades, since his ace of dia- monds keep dummy off lead effec- tively and West will make his 10 of hearts.

He was one of the earliest Carwithens to follow the ship- ping trade and operated a number of vessels between the Massachusetts Colony and the mother country. He died in Boston in 1653. David Carwithen, believed to have been a son of Digory, was living on Long Island, N. Y., prior to 1665, hav- ing moved there from Salem, Mass., where he had been a town official.

Its “onyx ground” is a dark coat, under a pale outer one, so that the figure stands out clearly. The inner lip of a large shell will be large enough to make several brooches. The background of the “onyx” is really claret-colored rather than black, but the name was given this helmet | long ago, and it sticks. Cameo-cutting is one of the fine arts of antiquity. Shells were first used in 1820 in Italy. A great many cameo helmets are sent each year from Nassau to Italy, where the best cameos are made. The inflated helmet does not have the color contrast that is vivid enough to make it valuable for this use, but the lovely beads and trinkets tha: are cut from it are very dainty. Once you have seen the lovely shell, you would | scorn to use it for such a purpose, I assure you.
