WITH THE LONG AND SHORT SUITS.
Team Work More Important Than
Individual Playing.

Team work in the game of whist, as In
foot ball and other games, has come to be
a more important factor for success than
individual excellence In selecting a group
of four players to represent club it is as
necessary that each should have, the faculty
OF adapting himself to a system previously
agreed upon as that they should all be up
to certain grade of excellence. Unless
each player confines his play to plan which
will be a known quantity to his co partners
1t Is impossible for them to feel the reliance
in him which Is necessary to success. 1t
does not imply that player should neces-
sarily lower the standard OF his play to con-
form to another who Is less brilliant, but all
members of the team must play alike under
similar circumstances.
1t is team work to return partners suit
in place of opening ones own unless by es
tablshing the latter in preference one will
make a clearly evident gain. II ones part
ner has had an opportunity to lead trumps
when such lead looked favorable and de-
cllned, one should not lead trumps unless
very strong in them or well protected In the
plain suits. AS soon as the partner indi-
Gates that conservative play Is in order one
should try to discover the weak point In his
hand and endeavor to protect him in pro
tecting onos self. When weak, one should
furnish all possible support to the partners
hand and not attempt too much with his
owr. If he leads trumps and upon regainng
the lead refuses to continue, one should not
take up the trump lead unless able to
strengthen his hand by so doing except, OF
course, when 1t Is evident that finesse in
the trump suit Is desired by the partner.
1t Is not meant that 1t is advisable that
one should exercise his mental powers to the
extent required between experts for cham
pionshIp honors but 1t is possible to apply
many OF the principles and underlying team
work to play ones play at all times. One
should bear in mind that 1t Is not only posi-
| tive but negative information which may
be conveyed In addition. he must credit
his partner with the ability to read similar
information furnished by an opponent and
count upon him taking advantage OF II at

departure from the system of play adopted

Washington, May 27.-The first vote
on the tariff bill was taken in the SEN
ties yesterday. 1t came after q two
hours debate on the item of boracic
acid, which, although comparatively
unimportant, afforded an opportunity
FOR the first alignment of the various
elements. Mr.. Vest of Missouri, q
Democratic member of the finance
committee. moved to make the rate on
boracic acid 3 cents instead Of 5 cents
per pound. as provided by the commit
tee. This presented direct issue be-
tween the committee and the OPP
ponents of the bill The amendment
was defeated-34 to 20. The vote was
largely on party lines. The affirmative
was made up of 10 Democrats and
Populist. Heitfeld. The negative was
made up of 20 Republicans, Demo
Gratis. McEncry of Louisiana and
White of California; 2 Silver Republic
ans, Cannon Of Utah and Jones of Ne
vada, and Populist, Stewart Of Ne
vada. The debate was participated in
by Senators Vest, Jones of Arkansas,
Aldrich, Perkins, White, Caffrey, Gray
and Stewart. Mr.. White, Democrat
ic member of the finance committee,
opposed Mr. Vests amendment, urg-
ing that the California industry. re-
quired the rate allowed by the commit
tee. Seven paragraphs of the bill were
considered during the day, the COM
mittee being sustained in each in
stance.
The resolution was agreed to author

ploy any suitable ship in forwarding

MI. Johnson Of Philadelphia, the lead

that the judge instruct the jury to
find the defendant not guilty on six
grounds-tirst, that the question as to
the local and state contributions of the
sugar company was beyond the juris-
dictiOn of the senate committee and
impertinent; second, that it was not

anime records for the purpose of an

data from books or records are de-

covering irrelevant matters; fifth, that
If the witness were to be held recusant
it was the duty of the committee to
warn him that the question was a

and. sixth, that the indictment did not
disclose cause of action.

Men Have Their vanities.

"Why do men talk so glibly of the
vanity of women?" asked Michigan
avenue dame the other day. do they
fancy that they are superior to such
weaknesses as distinguish their frail
sisters-fondness for dress, for jewels.
for displays generally? If that is their
idea they have but a poor knowledge
of their own sex-of themselves, in
fact, for no man is without his vanities
and they are just as conspicuous as are
those Of women. A man never seems
to have grown too old or too ugly to
arrogate to himself admiration that
woman in her palmiest days would
hardly dare claim. That crease in his
trousers weighs so heavily upon his
mind. He is never, can see, perfect
ly assured of its perfection, unless the
trousers are just home from the tailor.
Imagine woman getting into a
street car and hardly settling herself
before she begins pulling at a seam in
her gown! How tenderly he bitches It
into correct position. He doesn't mind
in the least showing his ankles, and a

see, even the best dressed pair going.
Surely it must be that vanity prompts
him to show them, or indifference.
which amounts to the same thing.

him to certain places without that
dress suit. He would not think if a

deal about comfortable shoes. but

latest shoe fad-'bulldog' or whatever
it may be-regardless of price or COM

clothes ever fused over them as man
does over these two items of wearing
apparel. He hasn't bit of conscience
about pitching drawerful of collars
into the ash barrel if he happens to get
a notion that they are a little off cut
and as for ties, he watches after their
modes with lynx eyes. He hears that
the scarf pin must go little to tho
right or little to the left and it is
changed without delay. Watch charms
are out of date! Every trinket of the
sort he owns is promptly abandoned.
He wears only the kind of waistcoat
other men wear.

Women as Interior Decorators.

There is no movement more inter-
esting in it's development than the
gradual increase of disposition on the
part of educated and refined women to
engage in the work of what is called
interior decoration, but which is less
imposing and disquieting when spoken
of as home decoration. The mural
treatment and designing of furniture
for public buildings will properly re-
main in the hands of really competent
architects Of taste, who may with right
claim that nothing shall be added to
their structures which might tend to
interfere with their original concep-
ton of the finished effect, but, as it is
not a secret that the decoration and
furnishing of the most successfully
completed great houses Of recent con-
struction have been absolutely dictated
and supervised by the women most in
terested, there seems no reason why
the woman decorator has not come to
stay. She is dotted in pairs of girl
bachelors among the larger cities of
the country, and, though the firm is apt
to dissolve after more or less brief
existence, 1t is not due to lack OF bust
ness, but rather to the quick opportu-
nifty which seems to offer for the for
nation of permanent partnerships I'M
der a consolidated firm name. There
are those too whom reverses of for
tune have forced to use their taste and
talents in this most womanly Of occu-
pations, and these, having once found
the pleasures of self-help and indie
pendence, are the pillars Of the profess
sion.
