and iced cakes, hastened to find
friends and group their parties
together.
The idea of having the
debutantes presented to the
young men of Washington in
this delightful way originated
with Mrs. Dunlop a year or two
ago, when she gave the first
party of this kind to introduce
them. The young men present
last evening included for
eign diplomats; members of our
foreign service, many of whom
are here in the State Depart
ment; young Army and Navy
officers. including the White
House aides, and other cavaliers
from the residential set in
Washington.
Black Velvet Favored
The mothers of the debu-
tantes, most of whom wore
black-many appearing in hand
some velvet gowns-together
with groups of older friends, oc-
cupied the boxes which encircle
the ball room: and as the hosts
who had entertained dinner
parties arrived. shepherding
their young guests, the party
took on a very gala appearance.
The ball lasted until the wee
small hours. when there were
q number of breakfast parties
made up Of groups of young
guests with their elders.
Among those present in the
group of parents of the debu-
tantes and young married

puff go the sleeves OF
fashion," says a recent fashion
magazine. And on looking
about, we decide that they are
right in a majority Of fashion
able sleeves. Puff go the sleeves
of afternoon dresses. Of dinner
gowns, even of evening gowns.
And on many street and more
tailored types, sleeves may wear
modified or simple puffs. Per-
haps you've noticed that a few
very smart sweaters have a long
tight cuff with a puff at the
top.
Puffs for Width
These puffs help to exaggerate
the basic slendernesS of the
silhouette, and when placed
near the top of the sleeves, give
that wide look in the shoulders
that is so important. Although
they are historic in their In
spiration, they are used on a
dress of entirely modern line,
and they do not detract from
the sophistication Of the dress,
rather add a good quantity Of
chic. Puffs may be single,
double or in a group. They
usually make only a part of the
sleeve, though. so that the rest
may be slim and long.
Optional Sleeves
A new way of putting puffs
to a practical use is shown by
the gown sketched. It is a con-
servative afternoon gown with
black velvet sleeves, when it
wears its sleeves, but take off
the detachable velvet "mittS"
with velvet puff. and you have
short sleeves Of sheer lace in a
rather formal gown that will do
for dinner or the many IS
o'clock" uses. This combination
of black velvet and white or
light lace is one of the seasons
favorites, and now vivid colored
lace is being used, too, to very
good effect.
New High GirdIe
The lines of this dress are
long and sheath-like, moulded
to the figure like a lovely
shimmering skin. The shirt is
bias cut, but is not extreme,
so that it is easy to wear. The
fulness comes very low, EN-.
phasizing the sheath-like look.

Bridge Players CnIbertSOn And
 LenS, Described
Who Two Men Are That Sit in at Greatest Game in
 History

New York, Dec S.-(UP)-Ely Culbertson is as interested in world economics as he is in card shuff1l- ing. He can talk for hours on Soviet Russia's five-year plan. He is a seasoned traveller, delights in reading and re-reading Tolstoy and Schopenhauer, hates to walk even block. His clothes are English made.
 Bridge to him is just a means to an end. It's lots easier-for him-and many times more lucra- tive than sociology, philosophy and economies, which he once taught.
 Culbertson is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, but speaks English with a Russian accent and four other languages as they should be spoken. He is slightly built, speaks rapidly and smokes about 50 cigarettes day.
 The bridge master was born in the Russian Caucacus 40 years ago. His father was an American min- ing engineer of Scotch descent. His mother, the daughter of Cossak Hetman. Tutored in Russia he took his degrees in the Sorbonns and the University of Geneva. Dur ing his college days he attended a conclave of radicals in Switzerland and so thirsted for human brother hood that he was we'll on the road | to becoming a full-fledfied Bol- shevik. These views cost him a heritage in $4,000.O00 worth of.'oil lands. He lost his views at the same time.
 He came to New York penniless One night, while playing bridge, he met Miss Josephine Murphy, Q teacher of the game. It was love , at first sight. They married. To-

day they are considered one of the best bridge pairs in the country. He makes a handsome living from teaching bridge. Last year it netted him $200,000. His wife also teaches at $40 a lesson. In his spare time he writes syndicated magazine and newspaper articles, and collects royalties from the sale of the games accoutrements. His pet dislikes is the so-talled 1-2-3 bridge system of his card enemy, Lenz.
 Sidney s. Lenz doesn't mind let ting the world know that he thinks he's a much better bridge player than his opponent, Ely Culbert- son.
 "Sure, you can call 1t a grudge fight if you like," he said. "Pm not particularly fond of MT Gull bertson or his system anyway"
 There are other things in life for Lenz besides lingering the glossy pasteboards. There Is golf, for instance. He plays it for hours but his scores are not for publication. Bowling, too. gets a good share of his attention. Some years back he won several tourna- ments and he proudly admitted scoring PA average for 21 games. He is no less adept at ping-pong and in his younger days was inter- national champion.
 As a high school boy in Chicago where he was born in 1873 he was A member of the wrestling and track teams. To-day, at the age of 58, he has managed to retain a youthful appearance. He Is about 5 feet Ii inches tall. weighs close to 150 pounds and is wiry and ath- letic.
 With him bridge is little more than a hobby. He declines to teach the game although he has been of fered as high as $1.000 a lesson by group of Park avenue social reg istrites. Lenz is independently wealthy. retiring with a fortune from the paper hox manufacturing business in 1910.
 His successor in that business of- fered him $40.000 q year for travel ing only three out of the IF months for the firm. He turned down the offer and left on world tour.
 He first became interested in card playing in India when he no- ticed army officers playing whist. He played with them. Before he returned to America. he claimed. he had made additions to the game which he named brldge-whist, now populariy known as auction bridge.
 One of hIs favorite diversions Is to do card tricks. Whenever he and the late Houdinl met. he said. they used to try to mystify each other with their favorites. He is considered one of the greatest bridge players In the world and was national champion for three years ln succession. it 's only in recent years he has gone In for contract bridge. Occasion- ally he writes articles on bridge fos magazines and newspaper syndi- cates

When East did not cover. the declarer allowed it to ride through and it held the trick. The small club was returned from dummy and the declarer's king wins over East's queen. Declarer then cashes his nine and eight of clubs, discarding two diamonds from dummy. His next play is the small diamond to dummy's king.
 If the declarer were now to lead a small heart and finesse the jack, he would lose two heart tricks as the hearts are punched four-one. AS the declarer is playing a small slam contract, he should ward against this particular distribution. His proper play is the deuce of hearts from dummy and to win in his own hand with hte ace. In this case he is fortunate in catching the lone king in the West hand, but this is his only sure way of hak- ing three heart tricks as the only holding that would stop him would be to find four hearts to the king, ten, nine in one hand. Of course, if he were fortunate in finding the hearts split three-two, 1t would be immaterial how he played them. j"
 The declarer must now lose one heart trick and has made his small slam by correctly playing the hand. Copyright, 1881, NEA Service,
