ADWARD P. HYDE of Santa Barbaro, Calif., wrote to me recently about an Interesting bridge group that was formed in the Santa Barbara Civic Re-

creation Centre. A few

years

ago several retired gentlemen averaging approximately three score and ten formed a table of bridge. Gradually the group enlarged. Retired Navy officers, n

several university

Army and playwright,

school teachers, come

and high

and doctors joined the group. Today they have two or three tables in play.

Fond of everything beautiful, you aro able to see those aspects which are best In everyone and everything. You have a deep inner life which others very rarely

Your versatility makes you "all persons to all mankind" for you have a variety of

ORN today, you have very strong ilkes and dislikes, but you keep your preferences to yourself, seldom showing your true feelings in a situation. This is not being two-faced, but aloof. Having an innate desire for merely harmony in all your surroundings, you will go a long way to placate those who differ from you. However, regardless of what you may do or say to appear to agree with dissenters, you will remain army and slendfast in your own personal beliefs. This is a dificult atti- tude to reconcile and because of it, you are often misunderstood,

You are optimistic by nature and always expect the best in everyone. People like you and you must guard against being Imposed upon by those who think you are a stronK individual to leau upon.
