4 dealt and bid a heart. which is not
good bid on the opening round. as he
has no winners in the suit. but that is
not the point. A bid no trumps. and Y.
on finding six trumps in his hand
promptly went two hearts. When A went
two no-trumps went right along with
three hearts. which 4 doubled. and all
the tricks that Y and Il could make were
five of their trGmps which fell together
at the end after A and had picked off
seven tricks in the plain suits and made
the ace of trumps
Us supporting his partner on nothing
but trumps cost him just 400 points The
only consolation for them was that had
A been left with his bid he would have
made grand slam at no trimps. but no
player would have gone farther with AS
cards, his partner not making a bid and
such strong bidding against him.
As showing the possibilities of the game
ii Is curious that If the king of diamonds
and spades exchange places A would not
make any more than the odd trick at no
trump instead of a grand slam Instead
of his catching those two cards. they
would stop his suits and bring in the
hearts.

PRACTICAL HINTS FOR
WASHING COLORED FABRICS
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

The pale tan color known as natural
is always worn j. good deal during warm
weather Pongees, rajahs, linens, cottons
and simple India silks all come in these
shades. and while they cannot be called
son or another they are exceedingly popu-
lar.
1t cannot be said the tones are at all
becoming to the average woman. while
the plump woman looks double her size
in a frock of pale tan
Still, nine out of ten women wear the
color in the summer. and SO how to wash
and best preserve the shade may be of in
terest to many.
In the first place all strong soaps, soda.
washing powders, etc, must be avoided.
The best softener Is borax. although a
few drops OF ammonia will do no harm.
1t will not be necessary to set the color.
because the rule is to wash in water in
which q good handful OF hay has been
boiled This makes the water a pale
clear brown. and SO preserves the color
of the fabric.
The boiling should be continued until
the water is quite brown, when II should
be strained and cooled with cold water.
Lukewarm is about the right tempera-
ture.
Add a teacupful of good white soap
suds and immense the garment. Soak
for five or ten minutes the latter II
there is much SOLD and then lift up and
down in the water, rubbing any spots
as necessary Soap must never be rubbed
directly on the cloth, because II II is
white blotches will be the result, and
then the garment must be soaped all
over.
This will tighten the original shade

Mistakes in Bidding at Auction
ASSISTING ON TRUMPS ALONE.
BY r. F. FOSTER.

One Of the mos difficult things TO i'm
press upon the beginner at auction is
Che importance OF avoiding bids on the
suit that his partner is bidding on In
) no-trumper this is usually clearer than
u seems TO ne in the trump suits. and
Few players fall into the error then. To
illustrate:
suppose that the dealer starts with one
bo-trump, and 1t goes round TO the fourth
player. who declares two diamonds. If
rhe dealer passes and ii comes round to
bis partner. that PLAYER would never bid
TWO no-trumps without a diamond in his
hand. even if he had an ace and couple

that such cards are of no use TO his part

he wants is diamond trick. or else he
il going TO set that diamond contract.
But when it comes Ia the trump decla-
rations many players fail tn sec il in the
same light. and although they know their
partner is bidding on certain suit and
they have nothing but the same suit
themselves. they seem TO forget that
everything else may be against them. and
that what the partner wants is not more
trumps but some tricks in the side suits.
The dealer. in his original declaration.
which is made in the dark, counts on
his rartner for two probable tricks, and
waen lie declares a trump suit he expects
these two tricks 10 be in plain suits. in
Wn.ch ne is shy. Unless the partner has
more than two tricks in the plain Suits.
re should not assist the bid. no matter
now many trumps he has. the trumps
will probably all fail together.
Here is an example of such a mistake:

LITTLE JOURNEYS INTO

that is that the immense brim protects
those sitting near from the assault of the

evil advocate in favor of the immense

THE UNREASONABLE MAID.
By Ruth Cameron.

maid was once sent out from an
employment bureau to a position. and
on finding that the room in which she
was expected to live was a wretched
little hole. miserably furnished. with no
paper on the wall. no arrangements for
heating and one tiny window. told the
lady of the house that she did not wish
to stay. because she felt she could never
make that room look homelike
Whereupon she departed And now the
lady of the house goes about telling
this experience as an illustration of
how abominably presumptuous and up
pish housework girls are becoming. And
almost everywhere she tells it she re-
ceives, sympathy THE idea exclaim
her friends. the idea. You simply can't
do anything with them nowadays. they
are so independent. Wouldn't stay be-
cause she couldn't make the room look
homelike. What do they expect-suest
chambers"
My friends. it seems to me that in
chat little incident Is illustrated one
of the chief causes of the maid problem
That a housework girl should want to
have her room look homeljke and should
refuse to stay in a place where she
couldn't make It so. seemed the acme
regarded it as unwarrantable independ-
ence on her part.
And yet a maids bedroom means much
more to her than her mistress chamber
does to the mistress for the maids bed
room must also be her living room.
II these women. who were. most OF
them. kind hearted in other relations OF
life. had thought of the maid who want
ed a homeike room as human being
like themselves they wouldn't have seen
anything extraordinary in her demands
But they were so in the habit of look
ing upon her as a distinct species of ami
NAL life-the genus mais-that they
didn't think of applying to her the test of
similar desires and needs
There was little story in the joke

other day which. to my mind, came al
most as near pathos as humor. 1t ran

only she mustn't stay long, as she Is much
needed. At the end OF a week the maid
writes something to this ERECT: Dear
Mrs. -. 1 Will be back real soon, and
please keep my place for me- Mother is
dying as fast as she can
Probably that never happened. but if
maids would assume the attitude many
mistresSes try to thrust upon them il GER
tainly could have come to pass.
Undoubtedly there is fault on both sides
in the servant problem. Undoubtedly
maids are often trying, incompetent, I'M
trustworthy. and thousand other things.
But I don't believe that anything can
excuse mistresses from this unfeeling
and unintelligent attitude toward the
maid as a creature instead of a human
being.
Vixen 1nistresses cease to assume this
attitude. and get the thought that their
maids really are women with natural de-
sreS for happiness and homelike rooms
and appreciation and pretty clothes. per-
haps girls will not consider Homework
the most degrading Of occupations and
will not prefer 10 1t the most exhausting
and ill-paid work in shop or factory.
