clarer may hope the king is on the right Of
the queen and try the fnesse at once or later.
Or he may hope that the adversaries will have
to lead that suit and give him better line on

Now we come to the impossible situation.
Dummy holds the same suit, headed by ace
and queen nothing but small cards in the
declarer's hand. Two situations may develop
that show the impossibility of winning trick
by finessing the queen. One would be if the
suit were led by the declarer and the second
hand did not follow suit. Another would be
if the second hands cards could be counted
with certainty, so to know he could not
follow suit, if the suit were led. This ability
to count hand often arises toward the end
of no-trumpers, when a player is shown to

or idle, are told by oficious males that the
adoption Of a custom founded on economy and
comfort Is to be labelled vicious? Does wom-
an not have the same right to comfort and con-
venience in her clothing possessed by man?
With corsets discarded, and with them the six
depending garters that strapped down all free
dom Of motion, will these officious managers
advise their employees of some means Of keep
ing the stockings above the knee other than the
round, tight elastics which impede the blood
circulation and invite varicose veins?
The amazing part Of all this current up-
roar about women's dress and habits Is that
the free woman, unhampered by physical re-
straint and spiritual inhibitions. is not vel
come with paans of rejoicing in every busi-
ness office and mercantile establishment. The
business girl, with her short hair, her uncon-
fined waist her sanitary short skirt and FREE
dom Of motion is creature clad for efficiency,
comfort and health. She can give her un-
fettered mind and body to intelligent CON-
petent service. It seems almost unthinkahe
that any man whose memory goes back to the
distractions of rated pompadours and super
imposed puffs and braids, to bustIes and bal
loon sleeves or long skirts trailing through
the dust and filth Of streets and stairs, to
the tightly laced corset, SO ruinous to the
health Of women and their children, could
utter one syllable of criticism of girls and
women who follow the sensible styles of TO-
day.
Women fully realize that the majority of
men and women of to-day have decent and
friendly attitude of comradeship in common
interests and common work, and that tie cur
rent oltbuTsts Of criticism and dictation come
from the exceptional man, who, by an abuse
of power, seeks to maintain the tyrannical
rights long since disowned by intelligent
modern men. And women have it in their
own hands to rebuke that irresponsible use
of power. If every spirited woman would
withdraw her account from any shop that
attempted to exercise this arrogant interser-
ence with the personal liberty of its employees
there would soon be an end of 1t.
1t ell comes back to the question OF
feminism. Women do not insist that all
things are practicable, desirable or possible
for women. We only insist that no door OF
opportunity shall be closed to US because we
are women, and that the sex accident of birth
shall not stand across our pathway to fullest
freedom in both work and play, so long as
the thing itself is right.
The modern woman announces III no uncer-
tain tones that to-day all her standards,
whether dress, amusements, habits, vocation
or avocation, are based on fundamental values
and not on the preferences or prejudices OF
any individual or group.

hand bids two clubs, doubled by the dealer.
What is AS duty, with up? W. D. R.
Answer--1f the fourth hand has legit-
mate ask for club lead, the hands should
be good for two odd, which, at double value,
means game. Leave the double alone.
Question--In the matter os bidding two
suffers, in answer to double, the following
hand came up. Dealer bids club, doubled
by second hand, third hand passing. Fourth
hand holds five spades to the ace nine, and
six hearts to the king jack ten, bidding two
hearts. Dealer shifts to four clubs, passed
up to fourth hand, who calls four spades. Is
this correct? F. A.
Answer-The answer to the double should
have been for one trick only, and should be
the higher ranking suit, spades. The four
spade bid is absurd, and unnecessary. II the
dealer can go game in clubs he or his partner
vail bid game. The doubler's refusal to ass'ss
the answer to his double shows weakness.
Question-Sinee when has it become the
rule to cut ont rubbers and count only games
giving the winners 125 points? Friends
who have been taking lessons from an expert
player and teacher are told that rubbers afe
no longer played. c. W. V.
Answer-lt Is only IN playing dupieass
auction that games are counted at 125 eaen.
and no rubbers arc played, because every dea'
is game in itself. In stop-gap and dummy
up there are no rubbers, but in the ordinary
rubber the official laws still give two games
out OF three as worth 250 points, for the
rubber.

hold all the remaining cards of the suit he
has opened.
1t is the ability to count hand that most
frequently shows the impossible, as distin-
guished from the possible or probable, and
among the more common instances, in playing
against the declarer, it is the situation in which
it is too late to force. Take this deal (see
cut at bottom of second column:
This went the rounds OF nine tables in a
duplicate game. AT all z, who dealt, started
with one spade. At scme A doubled at others
he called the diamonds At some A and &
got the contract at hearts or diamonds but
none OF the1n went game At the four tables
that play the hand at spades, three went
game
At the one table that did not 90 game in
spades the result was due to the fact that A
was able to discriminate between the probable,
the hoped for and the impossible.

only few short years In the history Of the
human race-and enter the ranks Of the sar-
torially free, the long, hot coils Of hair bound
around the head and secured by torturing
hairpins will become thing Of the dead past,
along with the Grecian bend, bound feet and
all the other outward symbols Of womens
subjection to tyranny and convention.
After ALL whose hair is it, anyway? And
who gave any man, by virtue Of his personal
or industrial relation, the right to dictate to
any woman in matters that do not interfere
with his personal freedom or the quality Of
the service she gives?
Have women, in past years, refused to bake
the bread or nurse the children because men
have adorned their visages with outstanding
ponpadours spreading Dundrearies? Has
the stenographer refused to take dictation
from a face made grotesque by goatee,
muttonchops or Charlie Chaplin mustache?
Personal managers ard Petruchios gener-
ally might as we'll accept the fact that sensible
women are going to dress and act for personal
comfort, efficiency and health, as well as for
beauty, and the sooner that idea becomes
conviction on their part the sooner will .his
next step in woman's fight for freedom be
over. The common interests that bound to-
SeLncr women OF every Walk Oh lllo III tH0 Sul-
frage fight have not been lightly cast aside.
If need be, women will again unite on sex lines,
for the interest of one group of women is the
interest of all women. Unless sane employers
step forward to curb these overzealous per-
sonal managers trouble is surely brewing.
Women do not have to submit to-day. It
took Napoleon, himself clad in as immodest
garb as was ever worn by man, to force upon
women the indecencies and disconlforts of the
Empire styles. No Paul Poiret or presurning
day to abandon style she has adopted for
comfort and efficiency or accept one she has
discarded as unhygienc and ugly. Nor can
any domineering Congressman frighten women
from the free enjoyment Of any custom or
habit that in itself is not blameworthy.
The full extent Of the imposition that is
being practiced working girls and women is
not yet understood. Only day or SO ago
the published rules of large Chicago store
referred casually to a prohibition against
"rolled stockings" Put your brains to work,
personal managers, and picture the result on

submit to these arrogant dictatons. Who ever
told any young man on becoming of age that
his right to political liberty depended on how
he cut his hair? But for the present we must
submit. We are like unarned soldiers facing
an army with cannon Our only strength is
the righteousness Of our cause and we must
ignore every side issue that would weaken the
force of Our great demand. And I want to
charge you younger women who are taking
up the fight as We older women lay it down
to remember that prejudice is the greatest
enemy Of woman's advancement. Until po-
Htical freedom is won for women you must be
ready, as we have always been, to make every
personal sacrifice to unreasonable prejudice for
the sake of all the women who are to come.'
In the seven years that followed, as argued
for woman suffrage from street corners or plat
forms or to legislatures in every state in the
Union, those words came back to me often.
And remembering the price the pioneer women
had paid to advance the cause to the point
where we took it up, / bit my tongue and held
my peace as arrogant dictation in personal
matters was and over made the price
of a vote for political freedom for one-half
of the human race.
I heard hundred times, from the Inns of
every type of man, from the street loafers to
presidents, that it was "only the short-haired
women and the long haired men, who wanted
woman suffrage. Finally, to many of us the
right to wear our hair long or short, or any
other way we wanted to, became synonymous
with personal liberty, and the man who thun-
dered or sneered his invectives against it be-
came the apotheosis of arrogant presumption
No one who was not In the thick of the
suffrage fight during those last years can
possibly imagine how often, at one stage after
another, the vote of only one prejudiced man
stood between twenty million women and their
political liberty. Some times his vote was
withheld because some women wore peek-a-boo
waists, or other women played bridge too
often; again because many women were
homely otherwise beautitied themselves
with rouge: because 1nez Milholland went to
Socialist meeting or California women voted
for Wilson; because this woman was pacifist
or that woman believed in capital punishment;
because Greenwich Village girls smoked
cigarettes or Kansas women enforced prohibi-
tlon-everywhere some men arose to prove
that their attitude toward abstract Justice for
women was based on their personal prejudices
