u. S. Lines May Change
French Port to Hayre

The United States Shipping Board
today has under advisement a pro-
posal to change the French port
of the United States lines from
Cherbourg to Havre, with prospects
said to be favorable for the change
at an early date.
Georges Bourgeois, managing
director and chairman of the board
of the Compagnie Industrielle Mari
time. of Havre, who is in Washing
ton in behalf of the proposal, ap-
peared before. the Shipping Board
and cited advantages from such a
change, including saving Of six
hours in reaching Paris. He
pointed out that about $4,000, 900 has
been spent and 100000 additional
is to be expended in deepening the
channel and undermining the Havre
port to accommodate vessels Of the
Leviathan type.
Bourgeois, SON Of the late premier
of France, came here at the invita-
ton of Chairman O'Connor of the

Larger-busted women avoid the longer
lengths entirely.
The natural pearl tint is not a
forced choice. In many cases older
women viii prefer the gray shades of
pearls, while the younger ones will
lean toward the pink shades. Gray
pearls are excellent for evening wear,
because they blend well with metallic
trimming. If one choose, she may
buy combinations Of shades.
When buying real pearls one
should insist upon a separate safety
clasp. For the other pearls clasps
of proportionate value are good
enough It is wiser and more eco.
nomical to put most of ones money
in the pearls. and least in the clasp
When buying real pearls take the
shorter strand OF good quality rather
than the longer one of inferior.
Pearls may always be added.
The small seed pearls are good buys
for those who can afford them. They
may be bought for wear as neck
laces, strands, bracelets, and so forth

SPRINCTIME
BY D. @. PEATTIE.

One of these days when, I have
enough courage to name my house in
the country, / am going to call it
The Chewink, after the merry little
bird that hopes endlessly amout among
the blueberry bushes, where are now
no blue berries, and the trailing ar
butus, SO frequently in bloom about
my house.
Towhee is another name for him,
and his little chirrup sounds like che
wink" or "towhee," just as you choose
to hear it. After all, an ornitholo-
gist dedicated a book of bird sketches
"To Towhee / Once Knew" So
somebody else loves the towhee, too,
and finds him a sociable fellow.
In one of the standard manuals on
my desk. an ornithologist of eminence
writes of the chewink that he is shy
and shuns human habitations. He
does not shun mine! like to believe,
indeed, that 1t is the same little bird
who every season comes back here.
Indeed, he times his return precisely
with the blooming OF the arbutus,
and he will sing now, not here alone,
but all around Washington, his court
ing lay, all day and every day.
About the time the blueberries are
ripening up l hear his beloved little
call no more, which means that the
counting days are over.

Duplex Suit Cases and Fittings
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

, table combination we'll deserving the
term duplex.
Let me suggest that, IL you so wish,
you can simulate such cases, Make
two flaps, each with pocket portions
formed by turning up the lower ends
of the tape-bound extra heavy materi-
al and stitching them three or four
times from binding to lower edge.
Sew one end of each flap in straight
line across the inside end of the suit
case lining. Cover each seam with a
strip of leather tightly and neatly
glued across 1t. Make the strip wide
enough to hold securely to the suit
case lining. Into these pockets put
the necessary fittings.
Pockets and Covers.
The pocket portions should be on
the underside of the flaps, so that
when you want to use them you turn
the flaps across the ends of the case
and they are uppermost. So 1t is
well to have fiat piece of rubber
lied white cloth to place between the
clothing in the cas- and the flaps
when closed. The tops of the flaps
form a neat cover for the inside of
the case. and no towel is needed
Novelty Fitted Bags.
There are bags that are fitted in
an equally astonishing way. / saw
one recently with one side that opened
separately from the rest of the bag.
1t held full set of manicuring and
vanity fittings. So neatly did this
portion fasten to the rest of the bag
that no one would for a moment inn
agine there was anything surprising
to be revealed at an instant's notice.
The handles held each portion Of the
bag securely. so there was no danger
of either part opening Unexpectedly.
Pocket Purse Fittings.
Instead of purse pockets in some
bags, there are pocket purses. These
are not removable, and being held in
position. they do not get lost in a me.
lee in the bottom Of the bag.
Hints on Fittings.
When you buy fitted cases, it is
we'll to remember that the accessories
add weight, even though they take
up but little space. BY choosing very
light fittings, they need not make a
case heavier than separate articles
which are always an essential part
of one'h hand luggage. Fittings that
are enamel are heavy as well as cost
ly, and are apt to be used when the
owner travels by motor or has a man
or maid to see to such details as
getting porters, ETC., or who carries
the luggage in case a porter cannot
be found.
Evening star., 1927-04-26

The ingenuity that is being shown
In the latest styles Of bags and suit
cases is certainly fascinating to the
woman who travels. Not only is
there diversity in the fittings, but in
the luggage itself. A suit case may
appear to be a usual one when
opened or it may seem to be nothing
bu a well stocked portable vanity
dresser. 1t all depends on which side
of the case you open. This is called
o duplex suit case.
Another model of this type idea
that is also called by the identical
name of duplex suit case shows a

better chance for game, or at least for
contract. Therefore, North doubles
informatorily to invite his partners
best suit bid. South's response of two
hearts closes the bidding, as West S
holding is not strong enough to JUS
tify a rebid.
Salient Points of the Play.
Trick 2. Souths best play at this
point is to pave the way for an entry
into his own hand by trumping the
third round Of Spades, so as to take
the heart f1nesse. While an imme-
diate entry can be had with the club
ace, this would involve the breaking
up of a combination of high clubs,
which, il kept intact, might well pre-
vent the subsequent loss of a club
trick. South, therefore, leads another
spade from dummy.
Tricks Z and s. South here COM
pletes the stripping of his own hand
and dummy's of both spades and dia-
monds.
Tricks 0, 10 and II. South's fore
sightedness in not disturbing the club
situation in the early stages of play,
here results in well earned game.

Buy Them--You Won't Weep!

Pearls may bring tears. but no man
has ever brought any tears, except
those of appreciation, to any woman
by presenting her with string of
pearls. One may derive the same
pleasure from wearing imitation or
synthetic pearls as from wearing gen.
uine pearls. The difference in value
is not altogether comparable with
the difference in appearance.
Pearls do not necessarily have TO be
bought for any special wear They
are among the few types of jewelry
that may be worn at any hour of the
day in any place. Real pears would
never be worn, of course, except for
evening or formal wear, but imitation
pearls may be worn without worry at
any time.
The length of ones string of pearls
depends on height, figure and method
or wearing them. A tan woman may
wear a string of pearls with a great
deal of charm. A short woman should
buy string more In proportion to
her size. Stout women will find that
the most becoming string is one that
either meets ar the bust or goes well
over it.
An average length of string is about
- inches. While strings are made
as long as So inches, women with
long strings usually loop the strands.
Strands of graduated lengths Joined
at the rear with a single clasp are
