tones frightened by lighter ones. The
basques are not quite as long as those
made at this time last year. Plain cloths
will be as much used as eyer.
Black lace, as [ predicted, will be fash

be evolved out of black satin and cid lace

be put into active service, as they can be

Pale tan gloves are being much worn
with white evening frocks in Europe, and
such gowns have no sleeves at all; in
many cases only bands passing over the
shoulders hold up the bodice. When
smart women, however, do wear sleeves
they are ludicrousiy small in comparison
TO those so lately in vogue.
In New York are being worn very be-
coming black satin stocks, over which
turn little white collars half an inch wide.
The stocks have buttons on the inside,
which perfectly hold the collars in place.

purveyors who succeed best, and are FORE
most in their line, possess the finest, truest
sense OF that power to conceive and create,
without which they would never have
been heard of, but have fallen among the
countless numbers of incompetents.
Have we not often in our lives known
women whose incomes enabled them to
order the choicest creations from famous
makers, either at home or abroad. but who
in the wearing of them made so many
fatal additions of their own that the
toilet was utterly ruined and would have
been unacceptable to the maker Such
women suffer from a plethoric and i'll
regulated imagination, which is quite as
disastrous as to be born without any.
Their ruling passion is to over-elaborate,
to pile on laces upon laces, ribbons upon
ribbons, to overflow with trimmings
galore. Their mildest sins are to wear the
wrong jewels, or too many of them, or to
peck themselves with the most incon-
gruous flowers.
"In contrast, observe the man or woman
whose imagination is well balanced in all
its parts, both harmonious and taultless.

expenditure, exceed all others in obtaining
the best of results and gaining the most
pleasing effects. To be smart under these

WHISTLES.

The Trist Duplicate Whist Club started their
fall and winter schedule of play last Tuesday
evening in their rooms in the Wenban build
ing, by giving a reception. 1t was not pos
sible 10 accommodate more than two-thirds
of those that were in attendance, for
the rooms were more than packed. 1t
shows the popularity that whist has
with the people. James Foord, President
of the Los Angeles Whist Club, and his wife
came from Los Angeles to be present. Mrs. l..
w. Sitton, president of the Kate Wheeloek
Club of Portland, Or, and George E. Bates,
president of the San Francisco Club, and Mrs.
Bates were also present The entire affair was
under the charge of the house committee-Mrs.
Fredericks, Mrs Myers and Mrs. Woodward.
Two hours was spent at the silent game. The
spice of the evening was a deal that was put
into play that came from the last whist con-
gress. 1t was the second hand that was ever
played by Cavendish. Trist, Whitfield and
Weems in this country. The ide ntical cards
they used and the positions in which they
played were feature of the entertainment
The deal was as follows:

elected president of the American Whist

code of laws adopted by the third Whist Con-

hoped that the revision that will take place at
the next congress will be the only one for
many years to come. The Trist Duplicate

Discard" and "Re1erse Discard"

'DlSCard ana =" HoVorSe DISCARD.
In our whist article of May 81 last we pub
lished a very interesting letter from Major
General A. w. Drayson OF England. one OF the
best writers on the game living. He mentioned
in that letter that the "Reyerse Discard was
first played by him in 1880. There is no doubt
in my mind that the Drayson system OF dis
carding is the best that is known up to the
present time, without it is the system advo-
Gated by the writer and published in Whist in
the January number, 1895. AS the whist
playing season is now upon US it is time for
every whist team in every club to adopt sys-
TENS OF play that will be understood by the
members of each team at least, Drayson says.
During the last few years have found sew
eral fairly good players who are somewhat
puzzled occasionally as TO the discard. When
trumps have neither been led nor called for by
the adversaries, the discard should be from
the weakest suit 1t has been suggested that
when trumps are declared against you the dis
card should. be from yonr strongest suit This
in theory is simple, in practice 1t is sometimes
difficult. Here is an example. 1 hold one
trump, the six. My right adversary leads the
three, l play my six, third hand plays nine
my partner wins with ten and returns the
knave, my right adversary plays king on
knave, and have to discard. Am to assume
that trumps are declared against me and con-
am TO conclude that by my partners return
ing trumps they were declared in my favor?
Whatever conclusion may come to, and act
in accordance Herewith, my partner may form
q different opinion, and there is at once mis-
understanding between us; he may think my
strong suit is my weak, and vice versa. To
avoid any such confusion, have long ago
adopted the rule to discard from my strongest
suit to my adversaries' load of trumps, but
from my weakest suit from my partners lead
OF trumps; hence, if my right adversary lead a
trump, and my partner win this and lreturn
the trump, and have to discard, then throw
away from my weakest suit to my partners
lead of trumps. Because my right adversary
commenced the lead of trump, it does not fol-
low, ii my partner return them, that trumps
are declared against me; consequently, to
discard from my strongest suit would not
only be puzzling, but might be wrong. Dis
card from the strongest suit to the adversaries'
lead of trumps, and from your weakest suit to
your partners lead of trumps, prevents any
mistake as 10 which is your strongest suit.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-06
The Reverse Discard.

The object of the reverse discard is to enable
player to always be able to discard TO the
best advantage of his hand, whether from his
best or poorest suit; trumps, declared against
you or not, at the same time tell his partner as
truthfully as though he showed his hand. To
accomplish this result discard high then a
lower card of the same suit, thus reversing the
order of the discard and, of course, reversing
the meaning OF the special discard.
Here is an example. You hold ace, king,
jack and three little diamonds. You have not
had the lead and could not indicate your
strength in diamonds. Your partner being
strong in trumps exhausts them. You holding
only two trumps with your six diamonds you
are compelled to discard two diamonds.
Your first discard OF diamond tells your
