HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January 10
Hollywood, famous for is extravaganza
WITNESSES, has received the jolt OF its
career from Max Reinhardt.
= Cinemaland goes in for the grand
gesture. especially If the world will hear
of that gesture. But novelties have
never yet gone so far as to take suite

Luncheon, might add, Is followed by

Now maps are not an unknown guam

to eniov them while listening to en-
thusiastic ladies from the hinterland
expatiating on the glorieS of Hollywood,
waking now and then when their own
names are mentioned and from force
of habit taking a smiling curtain call,
so to speak.
Producers have been discovered by
cruel ferrets who love to dig out unklnd
news mapping over the plays at which
they are first-nighting. 1t is generally
laid to alcoholic last-nighting, and moth

How to Play Contract Bridge
BY MRS. FORTESCUE.

In one of my classes one day asked
a pupil to explain to newcomer What
was meant by defensive bid. Its this
way. To open a fight you must nave
a gun--that'S an original bid, TWO
and one-half quick tricks but II some
one pulls gun on you. you PICK up
a stick-that's q defensive bid, two
quick tricks-if you haven't even
stick, you run-that's pass
This is a perfect description of de-
fensive bid. If an opponent opens me
bidding it is up to you to put up de-
fensive if possible. One and three-quar-
tiers to two quick tricks are the mini
mum requirements under these cir
cumstances. An original bid is made
with the expectation of scoring below
the line, a minimum Of one trick,
maximum of game. A defensive bid is
made with the expectation OF losing 50
or 100 points. 1t is more advantageous
to sustain a small loss than to allow the
adversaries to score a game.
A defensive bid is any bid made after
an original suit bid by an opponent.
There is no score. South, the dealer,
bids lone spade" West two hearts.
This is a defensive bid, and shows but
lone spade" pass" pass" and East
bids two hearts" Is this defensive
bid? No. One spade is not a game bid.
If East, under these circumstances,
makes a bid with only defensive values,
he reopens the bidding end gives South

great. His partner is weak. lacking
even defensive values. Both tf his OPP
ponents are strong. BE- brave. Mr.. East,
but not too brave. What will be your
losses in case you are doubled?
Dealer bids One No Trump. The
best defense against a No Trump is to
double or to pass. A bid reveals to
the opponents the weak spot Of their
No Trump, and often enables them
to shift to a game bid.
"One No Trump" Pass" pass. ;"
Should East make lead directing bid
in Contract as in Auction? No. unless
one No Trump gives the opponents
game. East should pass, not reopen
the bidding. A bid by East under these
conditions requires at least 3 Quick
Tricks.

defensive bid. But the quick trick re-
ouirement for an informatory double

robust and more able to resist disease
than the sex that is said to be stronger.
Partly as a matter of fashion and
partly as a matter of health women
have adopted the bareback bathing
suit. When they bask n the suns rays
on the beaches of balmy Winter resorts
they want to get their moneys worth of
violet rays. Having barred their legs and
having given up sleeves entirely they
barred their backs. There was a good
broad area of skin. The doctors looked
on and cheered.
There were tennis frocks made with
bare or almost bare backs last Sum-
mer-a few of them There will un-
doubtedly be more of them next Sum-
mer, and the bareback evening gown
is no longer cause for comment. There
are bareback nightgowns to be worn
where weather is warm and slips and
step-ins made practically without backs
These are provided with flesh-colored
ribbons which are practically invisible
when worn with evening gowns. Some
women are planning to wear them with
high-backed daytime dresses next Sum-
mer. SO that there will be just one
layer of material twiXt their backs and
all outdoors.

tricks to double, the same values as
are required for an original bid. The
informatory double always shows
strength In three suits, and more spe-
officially In one or both Of the major
suits. There are two ways of profiting
by good cards--to score a game or to
score penalties.
Double if in reply to your double
YOUR partner may make a game. Pass
sooner than double If In reply to your
double your partner may make only a
partial game. Pass with the hope that
your opponents may overbid their
hands and so give you an opportunity
to make a business double and score
large penalties.

Seasonings.

Add a little mustard to all cheese
dishes, such as mararoni and cheese;
also to many salads and to ham. no
matter how it is cooked, and to baked
beans.
Soak a few dried mushrooms for 10
minutes, then add them to beef stew
and see how delicious it will taste.
When tired of plain roast pork, stew
it with onion, celery, a carrot and one
green pepper, or else with only celery
and season it with lemon juice and
mace.
Lamb or veal or chicken or rice is
fine with the addition of curry. Any
salad dressing has an entirely new and
delicious flavor when bit of garlic
or curry powder is added.
A little chopped red pimento pepper
that comes in cans will make plain
salad unusual in appearance and taste.
When fresh celery and onions are not
at hand, you can use celery salt and
onion salt for fiavoring.
