too full for utterance. And Louise
came often to listen to him. One
day she spoke to him, complimented
him on his playing and asked him
how he could produce such beauti
full music on so common and humble
an instrument. Louis promised to
show her. He put the ocarina in
her hands and taught her bow to
hold it, how to use her fingers on
the stops and how to regulate the
pressure Of her breath when she
blew into it. She was an apt pupil.
Soon she could play "Btrouyine"

Question What arc the odds against
getting : named card in the widow
such as the jack Of spades, when that
particular card is required to fill OUT
a hand, such as $50 trumps S. I. u.
Answer-That depends on the num-
ber of cards in the pack and the num-
Der dealt to each player. If the pack
is forty eight, and each player is given
fifteen. leaving three in the widow.
there arc evidently thirty-threc cards
which tho player does not hold. oi
these only three are in the widow ana
thirty are not. II is therefore 10 to
against any named card being there
but as there are two jacks Of spades
in the pack, these odds are reduced 70
to I against.

ings to unscrupulous casting direc-
tors" and fake "employment ex-
changes" in the hope Of gratifying
in their latter years a secret dream
which had been denied but never
lost through the years when it might
have been made a reality. Not long
ago a casting Office in Los Angeles,
which serves fifteen Of the large
companies operating there, received
a telephone order to supply one hun
dred beautiful girls and one hum
dred women more than sixty years
old, and in less than two hours had
filed the order by telephoning some
Of the thousands Of girls and women
on it's lists.
Two Exceptional Cases
Two New York girls, one eighteen
and the other nineteen, who held
good places as stenographers, one in
the employ Of the government, now
are in the care Of the city mothers
Of Los Angeles. Their case is un-
usual, because the city mothers.are
encouraging them to stick to their
resolution, believing they have good
chance Of accomplishing something
worth while in the films. When they
reported at one Of the biggest stu
dios, asking for work as EXTRAS"
the casting director became inter-
ested in them and telephoned the
city mothers department about them.
The girls were so intelligent, sincere
and really talented that for the first
time in the six years the department
has existed the city mothers decided
to aid them to become picture stars.
They consulted with casting direc-
tors for several big companies and
then Mrs. Deane Harris, assistant
city mother, laid down this proposal:
1--WE will get you girls good ;sbs,
so you will be Independent snan-
cially. But you won't have much
money to spend. You must learn to
fence, to ride, to swim. You must
go to Polytechnic high SHOOT and
study public speaking 70 give you
poise. If you will work hard till we
and our friends in the casting Of
fees consider you ready to apply for
work, we will let you stay here. If
you go into pictures at all we want
you to go in right, not in work where
you will have no chance to show in
dividuality and will be subjected to
every temptation. If you agree to
that we will help you. If not, we
will take steps to have you sent
home"
The reputable studios do nothing
to encourage girls to go to Los An
geles. On the contrary, they do
much to discourage them. They
want none but experienced, profess
sional help, as a rule, and employ
practically all Of their "extras"

At every table z dealt and bid no
trump. At most of them A, having
the lead, passed. At some tables Y
forgot to deny any assistance for a
no-trumper (having a trickless
hand) by bidding two in a minor
suit-in this case clubs. The result
was that z made only two odd.
A led the king Of diamonds, and
the moment B dropped the deuce,
showing only one higher, and there
fore only one more diamond, z hold
ing up to make ace and ten later. A
shifted to the king of hearts. On
this B dropped the seven as an. en-
couraging card, and four heart
tricks saved the game.
At the tables at which Y denied
the no-trumper with two clubs the
declaration went game if the hand
was correctly played, but at the
tables at which Y made the mistake
of trumping suit before leading
trumps he just missed game.
The hand went this way: The
opening lead was the spade eight, by
B, and the jack won the trick in Y's
hand. There being no suit to play
for, Y saw that the only way to
make any tricks would be by trump
ing the diamonds, but, instead or
leading trumps couple of times to
see how they lay, which would still
leave him with three trumps, quite
enough to trump diamonds three
times, he started right in to ruff.
After leading his singleton, put
ting on the ace and returning the
suit, he put dummy in again with a
spade and led another diamond, onlv
to be over-trumped by B with the

creation Of q splendid imagination
supplemented by an unusual in

r. T IS said that there are seven
ways Of mismanaging the trump
suit at auction. Probably the
most popular with the untaught
player is leading trumps too soon;
being in too great a hurry to dis
arm the opponents. Another, not
equally common, however, and not
nearly so expensive, is being in too
great hurry to ruff a suit.
Among the things slowly learned at
the bridge table is that there will be
plenty of time to try illnesses in plain
suits after the trumps are gone. It
IS equally true that there WILL be
plenty Of time to ruff after the ad-
versaries' trumps are out Of the way,
if it is the hand that is long in
trumps that is to do the ruffing. 1t
is only when dummy can trump a
suit, with small or short trumps,
that the immediate ruff is essential.
Here is an example, a deal that
went the rounds of recent dupli-
cate match, and brought out some
astonishing differences in the
scores:

show up at the studios who seem to

Then the girl was sent to the casting
Offices to leave in each picture with
her height, size, coloring and expert

she telephoned each of the casting
Offices every day to see if there was
any work for her, but for weeks
there was none. She took to visiting

which brings disappointment to thou
sands, sorrow to hundreds and sue
cess to a few.
The result is that girls who were
considered village beauties in mid
Western towns are glad to get jobs
as mattresses after few months of
semi-starvation, and stenographers
who shifted at any salary less than
$3.50 month in New York are glad
to work for $75 in the city where
employees are expected to count in
climate and scenery as part pay.
Many a girl who arrived in Los
Angeles thinking she is a beauty
learns that her face is impossible
for Photographic purposes because
she has poor or uneven teeth. Many
another learns that directors do not
class beauty as only chin deep-they
want it to look we'll in bathing
suit or anything.
Many more learn that beauty alone
is no assurance Of success. There
are thousands Of beautiful girls in
Los Angeles who have made utter
failures Of the picture game. Some
still are in it, as mere extras after
years of effort, and with little left
of their original beauty, but the ma

motion picture world. The almost

possible there the year round natu

diamond. Y puts A right back with
a spade and forces him to lead the
diamonds up to Z, while Y discards

If A leads the higher spade for

same heart discard. Any time that
A leads the diamonds Y discards the
