West made what turned out to be an inspired opening lead, namely, the singleton trump. Usually the lead of a singleton trump is highly inadvisable in that it is likely to pick up an honour in partner's hand that might otherwise take a trick on a wrong guess by declarer. In this case, however, it paved the kround

HOSE who remember

TGloria Swanson at the

page news, would be amazed on meeting her to-dny, for she doesn't look a day over 28, al- though she is the mother of three children, one of them Gloria, 20 years oki.

Miss Swanson-has-the-same- trim figure, twinkling legs. gorgeous blue eyes, pert pro- file, brunette hair with just a faint touch of gray under the temples, and a smooth, flaw- less complexion. The actress has not aged at all, probably because she has refused to. This is entirely significant of her character.

Of all people, who strikes you as the most self-made person you ever came across. The daughter of an army officer, she became one of the biggest numes in pictures, was the sensation of France and is now coming back to the screen in "Father Takes a Wife."

"I just wanted to go back and do one more picture," she said, "my last was so bad. This part is just right for me."

Her New York City. apart- ment on Fifth Avenue is the kind of a place where a little table in front of the sofa holds, in nent array, ten very expensive ash trays, and two very simple but expensive cigarette boxes. The place is huge and probably with butlers and fifth assis- tant dish dryers. But Miss Swanson, 'quite correctly, feels it's all hers and she made it all herself. Right now she is in big business, developing patents. She has a new cut- ting metal that is making loads of money. She has put a new plastic on the market and a new type of dictating machine,

Like all successful people, she is ready and eager to give. a formula for a better world.

all soldiers are good soldiers, and there are times when even a good soldier fails to think of what he is doing.

The Lad from the Elephant and Castle was sitting on his bed, busily scraping at his second-best trousers with a bathbrick.

From time to time he looked furtively about him.

· Somebody asked him what he thought he was playing at, and the Lad replied:-

"I put me old suit in for ex- change. It looks a disgrace. We wasn't issued canvases when first we come. I done coal-fatigues and dust-ole fa- tigues in this suit.

"So I puts it in for ex- change, and the R.Q.M.S. sends it back and says there's years of wear in it yet.

"So I'm just rubbing through some o' the thread- bare parts. Then, maybe,. 'e'll see renson."

A HUGE hand falls on

his wrist; another takes the bathbrick from his fingers. The Lad is in the iron grip of the giant Poacher, who looks down at him with choleric blue eyes.

"Ah don't cure about R.Q.M.S.," says the Poacher. "Nay, nor nothing. But I' not stand by and see thee do that."

"You mind your own," says the Lad..

The Poacher smooths him ́out flat, like a sheet of brown paper, and calmly sits on him as he saya:-

"Ah wouldn't 'urt thee, lad. But that gets my back up, like,
