BY R. F. FOSTER.

If the dealer starts with spade and
the second hand passes the third hand
should be unusually strong to shift to
no-trumper unless he wants to push his
opponents beyond their depth. because
It frequently happens that the second
nand will pass spade call with a good
suit, preferring to wait for the second
round Of the bids. after the dealer has
been taken out of the spade
With one very strong suit and two
others protected, it is fair chance to
get through with a no-trumper in either
Of two ways. The adversaries may not
open the weak suit, or the dealer may
have just enough to stop it If they do.
But even with three suits protected, there
should be enough in the hand to make
the contract, il not the game, GER
tainty when once in the lead.
The great temptation is for the third
hand to try no trumps on hand which
is just trife weaker than he knows Is
safe, or to declare it on what is called
q sporty no-trumper-two suits-hoping
that the dealer, even il he does bid a
spcde, will have a guarded king queen
somewhere to stop the suit the adver-
saries open with.
Under the new count these sporty no.
trumpers are a dangerous experiment. al
though they leave one with a certain
feeling of exultation when they go
through. 1t will usually be found that if
the dealer has the shoppers hoped for in
the weak or missing suits. there is
strength enough between the two hands
to win the game with the long suit for
trumps So many beginners overlook this
simple fact in their bidding that it can

CIose-Fitting Headgear.

The position and Girondin straw hats
are the accepted vogue for morning
wear, and women copying the example
set by the Empress Eugene some
fifty years ago twist their hair low in
the nape Of the neck and present a
very trim and fascinating appear
ance.
The bicorne and tricorne and the
marquis models are fashionable for aft
ernoon occasions, and are not invari-
ably trimmed with the upstart plume
though in many cases the brim is held
upward by a feather or handful of
wired loops starting from small bow,
and in some instances Is also edged or
bound with ostrich feathers
All the tailOrmade hats and those
that share the chief essential Of that
chapeau-namely. it's studious neat
ness-are made of very simple straws
The closely woven chip is deemed a
most desirable medium for the MAX

the marquis models. and the colors
chosen are masculine ir their severity.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

White satin has sprung into . prom1-
nence altogether unexpected OF Il In
other seasons the idea held that Il was
to be richly beautiful OF itself to gain
anything by combination with colors. but
this season has dispelled the Illusion.
None of the hormanies has turned
out more successfully than those IN which
white or cream color predominated. and
this holds hardly less emphatically for
daytime than for evening wear.
In the model sketched the satin is
of the deepest, yellowest of cream tints
and the lace a chantilly, while the girdle
is of old blue velvet. more charming than
usual by contact with the blush pink
of the roses The skirt is started at
the side front and wrapped around the
figure In spiral fashion. with a chantilly
scarf lined with chiffon to form the bacS,
which continues into a train
At the left. just above the knee, the
satin Is caught Up a trifie. almost i'm
perceptibly. and held with a rose and a
bit of foliage. The bodice OF the chantfl-
ly. opening broadly over a foundation OF
chiffon. with q little vest of cream-tinted
venise. is extended under the girdle In a
square tab at either side
Chantilly is never SO attractively treat
ed as when lined or veiled with white
chiffon. nor so expressive as when 1t is
made up with white satin. The two seem
to have an extraordinary affinity for each
other
Lace, and especially chantilly. IS not
always becoming and rarely is it wise
to have It too near the face. For yokes
there is nothing so much In favor just
now as crepe chiffon as a relief from
the nets that have been so universally
in order. Shadow. too-which, though
plentifully used for other purposes, has
not been called into play so much in
this capacity-is invading the realm and
is most effective in a pretty. delicate
fashion.
Both large and small patterns are good.
but all-over designs are preferable to
detached designs. This is true of any
yoke material for obvious reasons. Since
double and triple yokes, tunic yokes md
inner yokes are in vogue. corresponding
number of different transparencies must
be brought together. and these have to be
we'll chosen without too much contrast.
Shadow lace and net, either coarse or

| fabrics. but where the lace pattern is
| bold or clearly defined 1t is better to
avoid the nets entirely. keeping to chif-

A White Season.

1t has been a white sea son. but one of
its peculiarities is that white gowns are
so often piped or faced with bright color.
For instance. a white serge coat and
skirt are made with cherry -colored pip
ings and trimming of gilt buttons down
the front The pinon blouse is also
cherry color. and the panama hat is
turned up with cherry -colored lisse.
In another instance a white wolfe is
worn with cherry-colored stockings.

Clothes That Harmonic.
By Ruth Cameron.

That looks like me-
BY that criterion one of the best dressed
women l know chooses all her gowns.
What does that mean?
1t means that when she sees gown or
hat in a shop window. or on form. or
worn by a passerby on the street. which
she realizes belongs to her own peculiar
style she is Immediately interested in it
and il possible and desirable buys it or
copies it,
1t means that the first and most tena-
cious requirement which this woman
makes OF a garment is that 1T shali
harmonic with her own appearance ana
personality And the result Is that
whether they are capable of analyZing
the reason or not. almost every one VINO
sees her regards her as charnlngiv
gowned woman.
Just how large percentage of beauty
harmony makes up a great many people
do not seem to realize.
We all know that the loveilest gown Is
not at all attractive if worn at the wrong
time.
We do not seem 10 grasp that the love-
liest gown is. equally unlovely II worn
by the wrong person.
There are gowns for each or us that
bring out every bit of us-every bit of the
most attractive of uS-gowns out of which
We shine forth suitably dressed. and
hence serene. confident and at our best.
And there are other perfectly good gowns
that either wholly eclipse us or bring out
our worst points or in some way or other
punish us for choosing what was not in
harmony with us.
Very few women confine themselves to
two or three colors. and yet the wom-
an who has more than two colors that
really belong to her is rare. and only a
raving beauty ought to attempt the
half dozen colors which the ordinary
woman does actually include in her ward
robe.
Every woman ought to know her best
color and her next best, and If she cares
more for beauty than variety ought to
stick to them.
| say color" 1 mean something more
restricted than that. l mean her exact
shade I know a girl who found out
that brown was her color. but did not
realize for some time that there are
browns as far apart as the poles. Lear
brown was her perfect color. and bright
yellow brown was as deadly to her as
cerise or purple. An expensive mistake
taught her this, and now she realizes
that it is not enough to know ones har-
mmonous color; one must also know
ones exact tone in the color scale.
works of art woman can produce. Her
nome and her children, to be sure, are
even greater, but the lesser ought not to
be entirely neglected even for these.
And If We had more women who dress
ed by the criterion of that looks like
me" instead of that looks stylish or
that looks expensive We should GER
tainly have more women who fulfill their
highest possibilities in this direction.
