In the Sewing Room.

During the leisure hours OF winter
many a woman's fancy turns to thoughts
of embroidery. And most naturally. be-
longing to the industrious sex. she is ac-
tuated by a desire to save time whenever
possible by doing two things at once.
The winter evenings are agreeable times
to sew or knit or crochet industriously.
It is an accep- ed fact that knitted and
crocheted neckties have long been favor
ties Of girls who wish to make presents
to their male relatives or friends. but this
year there Is something new for the work
Of skillful fingers-mufflers. scarfs. hand
made to be worn to protect the glossy
expanse Of the dress shirt from the over
coat.
A special kind of silk has been imported
for the manufacture of these pretty muf-
fers It is thick in bulk, but very light
in weight, and it comes in plain colors or
in mixtures There are many patterns
for the scarfs; they may be crocheted or
knitted, and they make exceptional pres
ents that can be worked on during the
leisure hours.
Punchwork embroidery was very popu-
lar last summer. and it promises to be
1ust as much q favorite during the win
ter. 1t is quite easy, does hot REQUIRE
concentrated attention, and there are SO
many new patterns that no matter how
many one may have executed during the
summer, there are new ones to be taken
up this winter.
Fflet crochet occupies the time of many
women. Combined with heavy linen,
hemstitc ched or just hemmed, this work
makes very durable as we'll as very beau
tiful articles. The seekers after novel
ties for leisure work will undoubtedly
come upon the new ''filet embroidery" to
be used for bureau scarfs, table centers
and pillow tops
The filet net, with some attractive de-
sign which is expected to serve as basis
for the embroidery" is purchased and
stretched on a weaving frame The en-
bro.dery Is accomplished with narrow
ribbon of a desired color, threaded on a
blunt needle and woven over the design
i'm net. It is quite possible TO arrange
many combinations Of filet SQUARES and
embroidery squares to make elaborate ta-
BILE centers or bedspreads.

AUCTION BRIDGE.
By R. F. Foster.

One of the first things that are impressed
upon the beginner when he is playing
against the dummy is to lead through
strength and up to weakness, and al
though his earlier notions of what
strength and weakness consist of may
be a little hazy. he usually remembers
the rule and leads up to a seven-deuce
suit with great confidence.
But there is an important part Of this
rule that the beginner is seldom or never
taught, and which few players, even after
some experience at the game, seem to
understand and this is always to beat
dummy If you can when you are leading
up to his alleged weakness.
II dummy has nothing better than a
ten and you have queen, jack and two
small, you should lead the queen or the
jack, SO as to shut out dunmy's ten, be-
cause If you lead the small card your
partner will have to play ace or king to
get the trick. If he has the ace and the
declarer has the king you may make two
or three tricks if you lead the queen first.
If you lead the small card you make
only one.
It is not always necessary to lead the
highest card of the suit in order to beat
dummy, because an intermediate card will
often do it just as well. In the same
way there are many situations In which
you cannot beat dummy'S best card, but
his best. AS an illustration of the i'm
portance of beating dummy, here is a
hand that came UP in a class / was
teaching last winter:
