There Is probably no class of questions
more frequently submitted to THE SUN
than those relating to the double, and
some OF the examples that accompany
the letters are certainly remarkable.
The double referred to lie, of course, the
conventional variety, asking the partner
to make bid.
The chief difficulty with the average
doubler seems to be inability to count
up what the combined hands will DO
worth in tricks II the double Ia favorably
answered, as compared with the defen-
sive value Of the doubler's own cards.
or their value for a bid on their indi-
vidual merits by himself.
A safe guide for the beginner would
be to ask himself what he is expecting
to find in his partners hand, and then
to think OF the least that NE may find
and still get an answer to his double.
When one doubles a no trumper the
partner is bound to declare his longest
suit, even II 1t Is only four to the nine.
1t may be much better than that; but
the possibility that 1t Is not must be
taken into account
Doubling n Suit BID.
When one doubles suit bid the part
ner will go no trumps II he can stop
that suit twice. What II he has nothing
else? The double does not ask him to do
anything but stop the opponents suit
twice. or. falling that, to bid hfs best
suit. The possibility OF either event
must be taken into account.
Here are couple of examples, one
OF suit double, the other of a no
trump double. They are both instruc-
| tive object lessons:

Whole costumes Of knitted materia
have been popular for small children
but 1t Is a new departuresto offer then
for grown-ups. One has a rather shorl
sweater top, ribbed to fit snug around
the waist and going over the head
The rolled collar, of white, ties with q
knitted cord ending in knitted balls Of
green. The skirt has bands Of green
on white. worsted foundation. OF
course, such skirt must be narrow.
1t would be horror of saggIng lines
after a few times Of wearing If II were
full. But 1t must be nice problem in
knitting to adjust 1t to the figure 50
that 1t shall not curve In In all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but so far they disguise rath-
er than reveal the lines of the figure.
When narrow skirts were In before,
careless cutting and inexpert draping
often had results which We're unfor-
tunate, to say the least. A skirt of
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiscretionsi so unless q woman has
graduated in the mysteries Of knitting
and purllng she had better not try to
solve one for herself.
