Dressing Table Boxes.

brocade boxes bound in gold braid first
made their appearance in the shops,
there was n general rush to obtain

that their{color scheme took something

them as dainty as the rest OF the toilet

Iy.-Blnck Suit Declarations.

lN.-BluCk Suit Declarations.
Last week I dealt with red suit
declarations. To-day my text must be
Clubs and Spades. Nor must it be sup
posed that these suits Invariably be-
long to the defensive order. The deal
er must use his own discretion In the
matter.
Take the original declaration OF
clubs. The question whether this suit
should ever be made or not with the
score at love is probably one that will
never be settled to the satisfaction of
every one. Holding four or five honors
in clubs 1t is really difficult to say
whether one ought to profit by the
score above the line. or leave it TO ones
partner, in tho hope that he will come

game be SO far advanced as to be won

AS to spades. they should never be

declaration by the dealer unless his
score be so near the 30 mark that he
feels assured OF the game. whilst fear

red suit. Whether or no 1t is ever adj

ance. but in practice very many Of the
finest players one meets hold exactly
the opposite view. AT any rate. the
question Is one we'll worthy OF careful
consideration.
Cutting the Loss.
Put briefly. the case simply amounts
to this: Ought spades ever to be de
clared by the dealer on the grounds
that he holds an utterly Worthless
& hand2 Let us first review the argu-
ments which are constantly hcing use6
by the opponents of the original de-
fensive spade, They say that the cal

a hand containing many OF the highest
cards In the pack. Why not boldly
face the reallty7 With the dealer SO
painfully weak. loss is practically
assured. Cut down its proportions as
far as you can, and make 1t spades.
You know that the declaration is some-
thing akin to having tooth drawn at
the dentists, one should not forget
that visit to that admirable man is
not made from pure love Of the thing
1t is a very necessary proceeding, for
all that.
Mention should be made Of the single
exception relating to the dealer and the
defensive spade. Surprising the enemy
is within q few points OF scoring the
rubber game. and the dealer and his
partner have hardly opened their ac-
count. desperate measures are required.
The dealer can hardly expect to save
the game, even with SO low a scoring
suit as spades. The loss of a number
Of points beneath the line has become
a minor consideration. for unless dunn
my has a cast-iron hand the game and
the rubber are lost. AS dealer you

probabilities are that you will be badly
handled, but, as tho game is as good
as gone. why not die with your back

It now only remains TO indicate what
measure OF weakness constitutes de-
fensive spade call by the dealer. HOLD
ing q certain trick in my hand. I should
ever be inclined to give dummy a
chance, and pass the declarations. Thus
an ace serves two useful purposes.
Not only does 1t make a trick and pos-
slbly prevent the establishment OF an
adverse suit but 1t enables the dealer
to get the lead at least once into his
own hand. A fnesse may then be-
attempted. on which the fortunes Of the
game may we'll turn II you think

I would recommend q player to pass

ace, a king or a knaye or even two
queens. provided the suits in which
these cards lie are guarded. The orlgi-
nal spade by the dealerais only to be-
'relinquished as a last resource.
Dummy may, OF course, declare clubs
on a hand which has the making Of
not less than four tricks. Holding a
bad hand, spades should be unhesitat-i
5tngly declared. His partner. too. may
hold great strength In that suit.
To call an absurdly light club Just
because he Is shamefulE weak In
spades Is no excuse for dummy, and
vet is common enough error. Con-
stnntly you meet people who would
rather call clubs on four comparatively
small ones headed by an honor than
spades on a solitary spade. Dummy

have always commended that the time
to gamble Is when your cards arc
somewhat above the average, not when
they fall far below It.
To leave the declaration on an abso-
lutely worthless hand Is certainly in
Wiling disaster. Your partner on the
declaration being left to him, does not
know that your hand cannot assist Ills
in the least, and the very fact that you
hold nothing In the shape Of strength
points to his cards being above the
average. The result Is perhaps the
declaration of no trumps, and the con-
sequences are apt to 5lbe fatal for the
dealer. TO win the odd trick he has to
actually make seven tricks In dummy's
own hand. In the ordinary way this
would not be easy, but when you re-
fleet that the lead will never spring
from the Dealers hand, then the odds
against such a. iherculean task are long

Defensive Measures.
Should dummy. however come back

still be serious one. Either OF thest
suits may be doubled, and even If the
former suit escapes such summary
measures the trick Value is twice as
great as a doubled spade. The resul,
