served, however, to indicate tho pres
ence of another trump il hand where
You have a to believe that part
ner holds another losing card of the
suit ruffed, so that he may exercise
his discretion and either force you
again or continue the trump lead. This
information may be of more value to
partner In such a case than the sup
port of a 10, jack, or even a queen.
1t may be argued that he will be able
to miss the small card and thus read
you with it, but adverse false carding
in trumps is so common as to make
negative differences of little use, and
partners must rely upon one another
for positive information as to trumps,
otherwise they will find themselves in
constant hot water. If you hold four
or more, you should trump with your
lowest and lead your next higher, ex-
cept when holding the master trump,
which should always be led in response
to partners call, irrespective of the
number in hand.
1t must not be supposed that the adj
vantage arising from the information
afforded by the echo is always ON the
side of the user. Quite the contrary
is sometimes the case. Conventions
are designed to be useful In a majority
of cases, and if they answer this re-
quirement are properly considered SER
viceable. We should hardly kick a
willing and faithful horse because OF
an occasional stumble.-Beverly w.

TRUMP ECHO-TWO MINES AS

WHEN o TRY 1.-THE BATH
COUP, A CLEVER BIT OF PLAY.
The Three Trump Echo.

In the subject of the three trump
echo it should be explained that in case
of a force after partner has called, if
you hold three trumps, you will ruff
with the middle trump and lead the
higher or lower, according to whether
or not the higher is of such rank as
will be useful TO partner. For instance,
partner calls; you hold the 8, 5 and Z
of trumps and are forced. You should
ruff with the 5 and lead the 8, because
the z is not a sufficiently high card TO
afford your partners hand any support,
and you at once show him, not only
that o held exactly three trumps
originally, but also that the best of the
three is of insignificant value. He
knows then that all the horors, except
those in his own hand, are held ad-
versely, and must shape his course ac-
cordingly. If your holding be the 4, S
and 10, or any card higher than the
10, after rufing with the 6, you will
lead partner the 10 or other higher
card, as such a card is deemed Of sufi-
Gent value to be considered a strength
ener for his hand, and may afford him
opportunity for a fnesse. or promote
the lower Of two honors to a position
in sequence with a higher for him, thus
enabling him to continue the trump
when he next obtains the lead without
disadvantage. Due care must be OBJ

tious, but it is a taste deplored by pur-
ists-lace and linen, pure white edg-

There is a murmur like that when a
crowd looks on a rocket bursting in
the heavens. Aaaaaah! All, madame,
was that fall absolutely accidental?
Madame, take care! Do not disgrace
the gentle demi-monde, of which you
are a shining light For we were just
about to say that you and all the rest
of you sect to demean yourselves with
more real worthiness than the swell
princess and countess and other swells
who skate the Ice Palace in the after
noon.
1t all depends on the hour in the
swell skating rink of Paris. There is
a tale of one who found both wheat
and tares in the same field. Her SER
wants said, Perhaps we'd best remove
the tares?" He answered, mo, it is
a delicate affair. You might. root up
some of the wheat, you are SO stupid.
Let them grow on together" In the
swell skating rink of Paris they pur-
sue a middle course. From 9 a. m. to
5 p. m, all wheat. From 5 p. m. to
1880 p. M, mixed wheat and tares.
And then. from 9 p. m. to midnight,

perhaps they will marry titles.
The mammas also conservatives.
They will have jumped out of bed ear
1y to please the dear little ones. For
the highest proof of love that a rich
woman here in Paris can show to
any one is to quit her warm bed be-
fore lunch time. There is a deal OF
talk about the brilliant early mornings
OF the Bots. Undoubtedly you will see
brilliant creatures showing their furs
in the more protected alleys, even on
crisp mornings; but they are so few,
compared with the great host! Be-
cause the highest pleasure is to lie
snug and eat and then lie snug again.
To read, to look at pictures, to con-
verse, to ~patronize the cake shops
drinking too much Spanish wine in
them-the opera, the theater, the So
cial whirl, to shop, to scold the ser
wants, all these are charming details;
but your true Parisienne, from a
young girl, dreams Of her future mar
riage, not for the fulillment of such
t%rif1es, but for the solid luxuries OF
sleeping late and ~overeating! It is
even just a little fast to take a morn
ing bath. Many husbands would sus-
pect their wives of some queer crook
edness of mind should they begin to
take morning baths! Perhaps this is
why the English and American young
girls who come here of afternoons to
look over the fence at French society
appear so much more fresh and whole
some than do the anaemic French
girls, weakened S~paniards and kinkey-
haired Brazilians.

Dear Little Snobs.
Place for the wheat! It surely is a
place for good society. In the morning
you will here encounter the most aris-
tocratic governess and nursemaids of
Paris. Who are all these little gentle
men and ladies, aged from 6 to Is, dear
little snobs, not only French, but very
much American and English? The
French contingent are the great-great-
grandchildren of the French revolution.
1t took a deal of mercenary b~lood-let-

price Of sixty cents is raised to a dol
lar, because these are the hours of
high society. Even the waters carry
themselves with more worthiness be-
cause the Comtesse de Castellane is
skating, because Sir Edmund Monson
is going round and round, because the
Comte de Dion has just gone to change
his shoes! Two things are noticeable
First, how the women go in for strong
drinks-sour, cocktails and other burn
ers. The circle of small tables round
the ice is handy alike to promenaders
and skaters. Each woman, each young
bud of society, has her stiff drink on a
or ~chaperone or friend. "Garcon, an
other cocktail, gin this timer" The
second observation has to do with the
attendants, skating masters, or pro-
fessors" as they like to be called, ele-
CANT in dark green suits all edged with
astrakhan. Kneebreeches show their
splendid calves. They are strong, at
tractive, sympathetic, watchful and
complaisant. 1t is their duty to skate
with any woman who desires them.
Sometimes the women, skating with
their astrakhan-trimmed Adonises,
stop, flushed, to rest. Then, should
the band stop, too, at the same moment,
you would hear her confidential tone,
caressing, playful, even tender, as a
young man sometimes lets himself
speak to a pretty chambermaid. Sure,
they are lucky skating masters in the
afternoon, and they look even naughty.
They must keep the ladies at a proper
distance. But If any woman feels that
she has been snubbed by a naughty
skating master in the afternoon. she
may console herself by knowing that
he will be put in his place properly
this evening by the ladies Of the demi-
monde. The demi-monds would scorn

Nerve and Ffnessc.
Toward S O'Clock the undetermined la
dies leave. They do not wish to rub
against the half-world, which may be ex-
pected shortly. Gentlemen who stay now
have a double duty. And t be polite to
the half-world in the same room with la
dies Of society takes all the ~finesse. all the
practice of a special Paris nerve. The Ia
dies who remain-we must not get these
ladies mixedI mean the real, sure-enougn
ones-stay to observe the other ladies'
clothes, to post themselves upon the latest
fashions as they set them. Those who
have censured the noble young husband Of
the daughter of an American railway king
for spending money on Mile. Marsy of the
Theatre-Francaise do not reflect upon the
good she does with it. The lady is one Of
the fashion-setters Her splendid genius
needs only unlimited cash to create mar
wells!
So the d-emi-mondaines the fashion,
ables skate and drink together now till din
ner time, as amicably as the clean and un-
clean animals in Noah's Ark doubtless
amused themselves while 1t was raining.
Two hours is a long time in this atmos-
phere, where biting cold is mixed with
heat The cold comes from the real ice,
real though it has no water under 1t, but
only the r~efrigerating pipes. The heat
comes from the red-hot stoves that line
the circing promenade. The building orig
inally was raised for q cyclorama. Being
round, with one broad, low gallery, the
skating surface now looks like a circus
ring. The circle of small tables is like the
from row of seats. Sit at one now, if you
can find one vacant. Danes and demoisel-
les sweep past you, showing their new
furs. The young men-aud old men-of gay
Paris, chatter with them unafraid of pub
lie opinion. More and more flouting furs,
more brilliant faces, lips too red, eyes too
black, tresses too blonde. Young girls Of
good society begin to pale like the wan
morning stars. The married ladies knock
their skates off petulantly. tCome, Lucie,
Helene, it is time to CO."

Preparations for the opening Of the

have reached a stage which gives as
surance that there will be no hitch in
the plans so carefully matured for
giving to the world an interchange Of
ideas on the subject Of manufacture
and commerce. For this great display
Of ingenuity and inventive skill and
its productions a group Of buildings,
spacious and airy, combining modern
features in architecture have been
provided and are reached by an Es-
planade that will enable visitors to
blend pleasure with business.
The approach is 800 feet long and 50
feet wide. with beds Of flowers down

avenue, which is sure to prove one of
structures quaint, fantastic and artis-
tic, which continue the lighter side,

tion-a Midway that in novelty, splen
dor and attraetiveness will excel all
previous efforts in that direction. The
view of the buildings is.imposing from
whatever standpoint taken. Those
colossal structures are not only arehi-
tecturally beautiful, but are ornament
ed with statuary and decorated with
hundreds Of flags, and the sight is in
spring as one enters this vast temper
AIRY domain OF American industry.
An opportunity such as this has not
before been offered to see so varied
and comprehensive a display Of Ameri-
can manufactures nor to study an OBJ
ject lesson so clearly demonstrating
the rapid progress made in the arts
and sciences under the direction of
the ingenuity, genius and energy Of
the American people. Exhibits from
needles to locomotives will lead the
people of our own land, as well as those
from foreign countries, to marvel at
| the great advancement in the Ameri-
| can people.
Moving machinery of every kind will
be actually engaged in production, and
! the mysteries OF the manufacture Of
many articles laid bare before the OBJ
server. A complete exhibit of Ameri-
can automobiles, or horseless carriages,
will be made for the first time. I'm
plements and machinery adapted to
the agricultural industry in all coun-

their operative effects. Furniture will
be displayed in all forms of beauty and
utility; furniture for the easy going,

for the artistic and esthestie tastes OF

| Many packages from the far East
have been hauled to the Exposition

excites great interest, although I'M
