Scarfs With Individual Traits

face and figure Of the woman for whom
the ensemble Is made, devising q scarf
that will give the right touch Of color
or the precise line needed to make the
ensemble most becoming.
Scarfs as well as hats and frocks
now bear the name Of the designers who
have created the originals from which
they are copied. And every dressmaker
of note has lent some Of her creative
genius to the making OF interesting
scarfs.
Chanel has made scarfs. using plaid
silk combined with plain colored SILK,
that are worn attractively with certain
tailored suits or sports ensembles.
There are scarfs Of pleated SILK or
chiffon that may be worn effectively
with silk dresses or suits. Despite their
popularity, they are still decidedly
smart.
An interesting new scarf is made
from two lengths Of silk in contrasting
colors-black and natural-toned shan
tung, for instance. One end Of each OF
these oblongs is attached to a metal or
composition ring. When worn the ring
is placed at the front Of the neck. One
end passes around the neck and slips
through the ring where the short end
remaining hangs with the full length OF
the other oblong down the front OF the
costume.
A new step-in that is extremely easy
to make and most attractive was the
model chosen for this weeks diagram

BRIDGE TALKS
BIZ MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR.

We now come to what are known as
camoufiage doubles Of suit bids. which
are informatory doubles, but are made
when you hold one or more winning
cards In the suit doubled, but without
strength In one Of the other three suits.
In other words, q hand with the re-
CURED high-card strength in three
stopped suits, but whose weakness Is not
where It is expected. While your part
ner may be temporarily deceived, he
will be undeceived before any damage
has been done, and this double may
prove exceptionally valuable.
The following hand, properly bid, Is
Q splendid example Of this double.
Dealer holds:
spadss-9ueen, s-spot and 2sspot
Diamonds-oueen and io-spot.
Clubs-Ace, king, o-spot, 3-spot and z
Second hand holds:
spsass-Ass king, Jack jack an. md ss.: aSS;
eIaSs@Saeen. issE, s-spot and 7-spos.
Third hand holds:
spades-seven-spot, 4-spot and s-spot.
Hearts-Seven-spot and 6-spot.
Diamonds-Ace, king, Jack, S-spot and B.
Ciubs-six-spot, 5-spot and 4-spot.
Fourth hand holds:
spades-Ten-spot 9-spot and s-spot.
Hearts-King. queen, 10-spot and e-spot
Diamonds-Seven-spot, 6-spot, 4-spot, j.
Ciubs-Ten-spot.
Dealer bids one club, having a FIVE
card suit headed by the ace and king,
which Is the requirement for a one bid
OF suit. Second hand doubles Che can
not bid no trump although he has
clubs stopped twice, as he has q worth
c}r1N tn har ctra nfI% %vr
three suits, and the necessary five high
cards required for q double of one of q
suit; as he is anxious to know II his
partner Is strong In either major suit
This Is camouf1age double, due to the
fact that one Of the suits In which the
doubler Is strong, is the suit which his
opponent has bid. Third hand will
have to pass, as he has not the required
strength for raising his partner. Fourth
would bid one heart as he has four OF
that suit, as the rule for answering your
partners double L. to bid your best
four-card suit. The combined strength
Of second and fourth hands would result
in game.
There is another camoufiage double
which is the double Of minor suit bid
by dealer, when second hand has q
major two-suiter. This Is done to get
and II he holds four -card major suit
he will bid 1t always in preference to Q
five-card minor. Dealer has bid one
club, and second hand holds the follow
ing:
Spades, ace, king, 1o-spot, 7-spot and
6-spot.
Hearts, ace, queen, Jack. s-spot and e-spot
Diamonds, 5-spot and 3-spot.
Clubs, king.
with this hand 1t is better to double
than to mention either of the major
suits. In doing this you give YOU
partner the chance to show his strength
Again I wish to impress the necessity
Of considering your partner; always
give him q chance to show you hi.
