In every hand of Auction there are
many opportunities, although they may
not be seen at first glance. The studen,
often complains that before a rule is
fully learned, he is told of an exception
to it. This is quite true, and herein hes
| the fascination of Auction. There is al
ways such diversity in the deals that
one must nav strict attention-not only
observing his own fourth of the pro-
blem as represented by his own thirteen
| cards, but in Judging the problems laid
| forth in the other three hands OF thlr-
| teen cards each, as Indicated by the
declarations. The wonder and fasclna-
| ton is that sometimes the holdings are
so plainly marked, and then again so
puzzling.
Be lust and fair in a game. but also
do not reveal more than is necessary
for your partner to know. Never de-
ceive your partner.
Bid freely with a strong hand: give
your partner all information possible
by your bids.
When second hand declares "One
No-trump" over any trump announce
nent. he shows protection in the suit
that dealer has bid.
When second hand makes a suit de
~claration over a "One No-trump" call.
he shows a hand strong enough to make
winning of game possible or to defeat
dealer should the latter increase his
bid.
Third hand has much information to
speculate on by the time his turn has
come. He should rarely take his part
ner out of a bid in a major suit 1.-THE
major suits are Hearts, Spades, and
No-trump), but should never hesitate
to take him out of a minor suit bid.
Again. TOO much Importance cannot
be given to the fact that if third hand
holds a bust" "a hand without a trick
taking card). he always should over
call his partners "One No-trump' by
bidding two of any five card suit. Hold
ing no five card suit. do not try to i'm
prove the bid, for il will only make a
bad matter worse to change the bid
with a short holding. Let well enough
alone.
AS a rule, if three players have pass
co. the fourth player should be very
careful in bidding or letting down the
bars, so TO speak. Only with a possible
game hand should he bid, for his bid
opens the bidding for the other players
and may prove costly. for the adverse
ries may show long suit holdings on
the second round.
The foregoing rules are for opening
bids. As bids are raised or doubled,
judgment must be used. and all iDfor-
nation given to partners and adver-
saries must be noted and used to the
best advantage.
Circumstances surely alter the bid
ding and, in fact. every move in Auction.
As in life, so in any game of sport.
especially Auction, the individuality OF
the player is in evidence. With thir-
teen cards for ones very own, each
hand presents the q~uestion-to bid or
not TO bid. to take control and play
the deal, or trail to the bid or call of
ones ~partner-in other words. to play
second fiddle the most difficult of
all roles for the novice. To assume
this role with good fellowship is one
of the marks of the seasoned Auction
player. In this connection, the follow
ing verse is a good thing to remember
at all times:

Pianist Bauer Calls
Paderewski a Giant

No one can ever realize how hard
Paderewski worked for his results.
Sometimes one hears of the great hero
ism of the pianist who practices six or
seven hours a day. Time and again l
have known Paderewski to keep on
working until 3 and 4 in the morning,
often working IA to 10 hours a day.
OF course. only a physical giant
could have accomplished this, and in
deed such was Paderewski. His en-
durance and strength were enormous.
When l was playing with him at
Erard's he insisted upon having a chair
that was especially heavy.
Thi. very physical power gave Pad
erewski an range OF tone
color possibilities. Indeed, If it had
not been for his enormous endurance
he could never have accomplished the
work which gave him a seat at the
peace conference as the foremost citi-
zen of Poland.

of New York's big business institu-
tons, says a special dispatch.
Officials of a score of the biggest
business and banking establishments
in the city have expressed their aver
sion to the flapperish type and out
lined how they keep her out of their
businesses and how they handle her,
If by'some near miracle she slips be-
tween the closely set employment

said. but
At the Federal Reserve bank mono

bobbed tresses is permitted in bust
ness hours to fluff it up" with a comb
secreted somewhere in her desk. The
ideal arrangement, officials said, is
for her to wear a net.
There are no set rules at bank. of
ficials said, but there is an ~investi-
eating committee of the older girls
of the establishment and they i~nvcsti-
gate individual cases where n girl
goes to the extreme in any way. The
particular girl is gently demonstrated
with and in 80 cases out of 100 she
conforms TO the banks standards. If
she doesn't, she seeks other employ

Wanamaker Prescribes Colors
Rules as to how girls shall dress
are not new at the John Wanamaker
stores: in fact, they are 20 years. old
and 10000 are affected. Here are
some of the rules:
In winter, dresses shall be blue or
black.
In summer the Costume" may be
varied by a white waist.
At all times the stockings and
shoes shall be black.
The dress must be mot too low
at the neck and mot too high at the
bottom.
The bobbed hair question has not
come up. Only three or four girls in
the institution wear it that way.
Scrutinlzed Before Employing
At almost every other institution
where girls are employed in large
numbers, at hotels and railroad Of
fees. as well as in the banks and de-
partment stores. the dress and con-
duct of the girls is closely scrutinized
before they are employed. obviatiny
close supervision afterwards.
At no place. however. are the regu-
lations very specific. They do not
specify length and breadth by inches
and the statutes are not ironclad.
Much is left to the girls own judg-
ment. But her judgment is supervised.

fine comb, pulls the hair over the fore
head, and fluffs it out on the front
part Of the head until it assumes just
the right degree of height and line be-
fore the net is put over 1t. It may
sound much more complicated than the
procedure really is, and the success of
it is in practicing until you get the

A Crecian Silhouette

THE story Of prcSent-day
clothes is an interesting one.
There are chapters on pc
Rod styles, chapters on
Egyptian, Persian and Venetian in
auences; in fact almost mending
are the themes that one might pur-
sue IN telling Of clothes as created
by the worlds best designers Of
to-day.
But It IS not IN these radical de-
partures that the interest Of the we'll
dressed woman lies. It is not among
any Of these that the accepted line is

could be paid 70 the taste Of the
average woman Of the present day
than that she still prefers the silhou-
ette Of the simple straight dress
which 50 closely resembles the dress
worn by the ancient Greeks at the
period Of their highest civilization.
The chemise dress Of this season,
with It's longer skirt and its shorter
waist-which make its proportions
more graceful-more strongly resem-
bles the old-time Greek robe than did
the strangely long-waisted, short
fkirted frock Of last year.
The white frock made along simple
lines still is seen everywhere. It
stands out as a distinguished type
Of dress among the brilliant stuffs
that fashion so many Of the mid
winter evening gowns.

Evening Clothes Rich
In Holiday Splendor

FURRIERS Of the old school still
do not approve entirely of treat
ing skins as fabrics. No branch Of
dress manufacture has shown a
greater advancement during the last
three or four years than has the fur
industry. Here the most radical de-
prrtures from the beaten track are
seen, not only in the forming Of the
garments but in the working Of the
skins themselves.
In the use Of moleskin this is espe.
cially apparent. Only few seasons
ago mole was worked in patches Just
the size Of the skin so that the
whole effect was smooth and velvety.
Now the skins are worked in every
conceivable way, even in shell pat
terms.
With the approach Of Christmas
and the gayeties Of the holidays
fashions become more splendid. Now
is the time when women's thoughts
turn toward the beautiful In dress.

Ciyet Cat Dyed
In a Rusty Hue

ESPECIALLY noteworthy among
these gorgeous fabrics are the
exquisite metal encrusted velvets,
chiffon and silks and the lovely,
richly colored tissues such as those
in gold and copper shades as well as
those in bright greens and yellows
which Cheruit encrusts with en-
broideries in many beautiful con-
trasting hues.
Colors Of the autumn are appar-
emily great favorites with Cheruit,
who even dyes furs, such as civet
cat, in an orange shade. The orange
dye gives a rusty tinge to the black
hairs in the fur, while the white
ones take brilliant orange hue, so
that the effect is very striking. Fur
treated in this way is used to make
entire evening cloaks.
Fur coats for evening wear and
for the daytime, too, are now being
designed for each customer rather
than ordered from a model already
made up or bought ready-to-wear.
This seems a great extravaganza,
but such method Of procedure is
no more startling in comparison TO
the buying Of more staple styles in
ready-to-wear fur coats than the
method Of draping furs which came
into vogue a few years ago was as
compared to the conservative lines
followed by the old-time furrier in
making a fur coat a purely useful
garment. Nevertheless, the general
trend is to use fur in exactly the
same way that one would use vel
vet silk or even chiffon.

In Bright Colors
TWeedS and W0OIenS for Outer
Apparel Are in LimeIight.
Coats and Suits Longer for Larger
Women-Short and Chic for
Small Figures.

Al this time of the year, notes a
fashion writer, we are doing out
'nOblest" by sport clothes of all de
scriptions. And more especially this
season since tweeds and woOlens for
outer apparel have come so prominent
ly into the limelight.
One used to be accustomed to the re-
mark that ran something like this: 81
can't bear to wear woolens even in win
ter time, because they are much too
heavy" Then a glimpse of silk-clad
legs sent shiver down the observers
spine, but the conclusion could only be
that this was a human being superior
to cold. Now, to look at the same wom-
an clad to their necks in wool is some
thing Of shock until one reflects that
1t is fashion, after all, which makes
the costume wearable or not wearable,
and that it has nothing whatever to do
with the weather. 1t can be fur in
summer and gauze in winter, only ac-
cording to what is "dOne." This year
the dressing just happens to be in har-
nony with the weather.
The coats of the tweed suits and the
homespun suits are growing longer.
That is, for some figures they are made
On quite generous lines, while for other
and smaller women the coats remain

Novelist Prescribes Flowing Strands
as the Necessary Antidote for
Dull Spirits.

It was Balzac who prescribed rib
bons as an antidote for dull spirits.
Speaking of Eugene Grandet, in his
novel of that name, he says in effect
that what this poor, drab, respondent
girl needed was a few of the fripperies
that rightfully belong to youth and he
specifically mentioned bright colored
ribbons! 1t may be that the well-nigh
universal use of ribbon in the scheme
of feminine dress today is happily re-
sponsible for the fact that all women
are young now. The gray, despondent
sort is the exception. 1t may be she
who girds her robes of velvet, satin,
crepe or lace with a splendidly en-
blazoned ribbon, or believers the after
noon frock with delightful petals and
flowers or ribbon. To ally ones self
with what is youthful and charming is
really a matter of cultivating ribbons.
The new Paris frocks eXemplify this in
many instances, and entire hats, negli-
gees and innumerable accessories are
completely made of ribbon moire, gros-
