Being Proud Can Be Very Dangerous
By OSWALD JACOBY
ONE of the funniest Incidents
of the recent Texas Con- ference Tournament in San Antonio came during the defence of the hand shown today. West was proud of himself for making the killing opening lead, put pride went before a fall,
Eas won the first trick with the Jack of diamonds and very astutely decided to continue the cult with the ace and then a third round. South stowed over the third diamond for while and then blaved the king of bears.
Aha! Wert, exulted. "Can't get better a king for my ace." And buckled, triumphantly as he over- ruffed with the ace of hearts,
Of course South made his contract. He won the el return.. laid down

Now, with eye-catching bathing suits in shop
at
windows, every woman should take a figuro inventory, Tho shape of things to come hundreds of ocean and lake front beaches, as well as private swimming pools depends on just how honest each woman's inventory is. Bulges and rolls, so adroitly camouflaged by expensive girdles, waist cinches and other cloverly designed vanity props all winter, can no longer be wished away when we try on our bathing suit of the season.!
Just a few weeks of mild diet and exercise will whittle off the excess pounds from the average woman. The seriously overweight woman, of course, has a real problem to solve, and needs more than a once-over- lightly to make her a beach beauty..
*
DIET, of course, is of first consideration for your polishing campaign, and probably a temporary change of your diet is indicated If you are out to make some figure changes. There are innumerable proved diets which, if faithfully followed, will certainly help you to take off weight. You may prefer certain high- protein diets, consisting almost wholly of lean meat, or other popular diets which guarantee to take off pounds by permitting you to eat your fill of meat (with fat) and potatoes. However, the safest and most pleasant way of reducing is by eating a balanced diet, low in calories but high in vitamins and energy-making pro-
igins.
EXERCISES, 100, must be an important part of your beauty regimen. If you can stretch, you can exercise. In fact, stretches are about the best way of one of the most im- taking inches off the waistline portant focal pelnia of your new beach gure.
