After all, there is nothing more prac-
teal and satisfactory in a woman's
| outfit than the long separate coat that
may be worn with anything, and that
is suitable both for afternoon and
evening wear.
In today's sketch a model is suggest
ed that is particularly appropriate for
the purpose. 1t is made of cloud gray
cloth, trimmed with dull silver braided
buttons and loops, and a huge shawl
collar and cuffs of chinchilla or
opossum. The fronts of the coat cross
with the right side wrapping over the
left. where it is fastened low down
with a series of buttons and looms.
From the point where the fastening
| occurs the fronts are rounded away
| into the back, with what fullness there
is draped up under a panel extending
up little above the hip line. The
| fullness of the upper part of the back
is taken in in even gathers under the
upper edge of the panel, which appears
to be buttoned in place with more of
the silver buttons and looms. The shane

dealt and bid a royal. but vas forced
up to three royals by A and bidding on
clubs. A led the club and dummy won
the trick with the ace. saw that he
could catch all the trumps and leave the
lead in either hand, and he played what
he thought very clever coup to pro-
vide for two or three rounds, and still
leave the lead with dummy, so as to get
the heart lead from that hand for the
finesse.
He led small trump from dummy and
won it with the queen, SO that he could
return the four and win 1t with the nine
Now, If both players follow suit, the
nounces dummy can lead the jack of
trumps and catch the third trump in the
other hand. and still be in the lead
This is very nice but it overlooks the ne
cessity of making sure of the game first.
Dummy held the lead until B was out OF
trumps and led the heart, but the finesse
lost to AS king of hearts and that player
tricks, after which z had to lose a trick
in diamonds, so that. although he made
his contract. he did not win the game, on
which the rubber depended.
The proper way to play this hand was
to lead a small trump from dummy, SO as
club and let dummy trump 1t. Now Is
certain to go game whether the heart
finesse wins or loses, as he has only two
losing tricks in his hand, a club and a
diamond.
This shows that he might as well try
the heart f1nesse at once. while dummy
is in, without troubling himself to draw
the adversaries' trumps. This puts A in
the lead with the king of hearts, and he
dare not lead q club, as dummy still has
trump. II he leads anything but the
diamond he loses a little slam.

Sympathy Selfishness.
By Ruth Cameron.

well, just do enjoy having that wom-
an come here, because l can pour out all
my woes to her and she is always ready
to sympathize with me- l heard a woman
say the other day of one of her friends
And I wondered as l listened whether
that friend could say in return, Il just
love to visit that woman"
! doubt it.
She was evidently good enough to per-
nit this wholesale raid on her sympathies.
But that does not mean that she enjoyed
it. No one could. And the people who
thus abuse other folks willingness to
sympathize with them are just as foolish
and thoughtless as those who ride any
other kind of free horse to death.
One of the most common kinds of egotism
is sympathy selfishness. In the eyes of
people who have this fault good friends
best use is as a safety valve for their
troubles. Some husbands and more wives
look upon their cO-partnerS in this way,
and look forward to the meeting after
the days work is done as an opportunity
for pouring out all the troubles and an
noyances of the day. Heaven pity the
man or woman with such a helpmeet.
He needs it. With all the pity he has to
give out, he hasn't any left for himself
Other people write letters in this spirit.
Apparently the feel of the pen recalls to
them all the troubles and annoyances
which they have had since they wrote
last Somehow it relieves my mind and
makes me feel less unhappy to write out
my troubles l heard one of the victims
of this habit say. For such people let
me suggest what Abraham Lincoln said
to Stanton when the latter was about to
post very sharp letter which he had
written. The President had seen the
letter and approved it, but when Stanton
prepared to mail 1t he appeared surprised.
What! You aren't going to send it, -
he said-I quote the spirit rather than
the letter-don't do that, man. You've
written it and relieved your mind; it's
served it's purpose. Now throw it in the
waste basket
Sympathy is a form of vitality. Those
who demand an unreasonable share of
sympathy are stealing their friends vital
ity. Any one who has ever had anything
to do with a nervous invalid, especially
one who is subject to depression and
needs continual cheering up, knows what
a tremendous drain that is. In a lesser
degree, the person who is sympathy
selfish drains his friends.
Do not think l am saying that one
should never ask sympathy from ones
friends. On the contrary, sympathy Is
the very breath and life of friendship.
Friendship without sympathy is a body
without a soul. But all the more because
it is such a precious and wonderful thing
one should not try to make 1t too COM
mon. An overtaXed sympathy is sure to
become enfeebled. Is 1t not better to be
careful not to abuse this precious privi-
lege so that we may be sure of deep and
strong sympathy when We really need 1t!

JOURNEYS INTO
THE LAND OF FASHION

Coats that are made for winter tailored
suits have quite definite characteristics.
Skirts are a little trimmed, usually at
one side of the front, but the general as
pect is plain, though not strictly speaking
severe. Coats are not even now being
made long-except, Of course. the long
coats. that are made to be worn over sep
arate skirts-but they come we'll over the
hips and are slightly cut away in front
with a rounded rather than pointed ef-
feet.
The revers rarely if ever come beyond
the waist line, and as a rule they are not
even so long. while the examples that
have the note of modernity emphasized
stop at the bust line. Velvet facings are
quite definitely established and the re-
vers are comparatively narrow, while the
cuffs are small.
The line of the coat is not invariably
continued on the skirt, and the broken
line is somewhat trying. AS rule the
coat is single. but belted coats are often
double-breasted and there is a'reversion
also to the semi fitting double-breasted
coat with fairly large buttons. With per-
haps this single exception the use Of but

AUCTION BRIDGE.
By r. F. Foster.

A common mistake with beginners is
the failure to separate their .trumps when
it is possible to do so by letting the
weaker trump hand ruff before leading
trumps The error is usually due to over
anxiety to get out the trumps and make
a suit, especially when the declarer is so
strong that he can catch all the trumps
without losing the lead.
In many cases the trumps held by the
adversaries are of no use to them, while
dummy's max be necessary to the declar-
err and he should always stop long
enough to look over the ground and be
sure that he cannot make some of dunn
my's trumps separately FROM his own be-
fore he starts to take away those held by
the enemy.
Here is a hand that illustrates the stu
alton pretty we'll, as it is one that might
arise at any time at the card table, and
it's underlying principle should be care

MiIady's Mirror.

Some girls have such fine skin that
during the cold weather it is necessary
for them to wear veil almost all the
time to keep it from chapping. If a pro-
tective agent such as powder be used, it
is absolutely necessary that it be pure,
as the more delicate the skin the more
care must be exercised in what is used
upon it.
The following preparation is most valu-
able. If properly applied it will protect
the skin:
Mix and sift together several times UNI
til free from Jumps three ounces each
of rice flour and rice starch, one and one
half ounces of carbonate of magnesia
one-quarter of an ounce of finely powder
ed orris root, half an ounce of boric acid
and ten drops of essence of rose
Before applying to the face, all the
skin should first have a previous applica-
ton of a thin film of cold cream or
almond oil
