The fate of the large collection
of apparel remained uncertain. A
nephew, Otis F. Wood, and guardi-
an of the woman, said he favored
assembling it, with tn chest of the
antique jewelry, in a museum col
lection.
Mrs. Wood has not been inform
ed of the inventory of her effects,
lawyers said. She furnished the
address of storage warehouse
however, in which all of her known
property was located without diff
ficulty.
AS each trunk was reached by
the examiners, it was removed to
the Hartman National Bank and
the most valuable of the contents
were placed in safety vaults. II
viii require weeks, the experts
said, to fix definitely the worth Of
the jewelry.
There is one diamond necklace
with gems grading from eighI
down TO one and on-half carats
which Mrs. Wood wore at the ia
nous Empress Eugene ball il
Madison Square Garden.
Some of the gems = diamonds
rubies and emeralds -had been tax
en- from their settings, wrapped il
bits of paper, and lain untouche'
for years in Mrs. Woods bureau
The examiners said the piece
would be reconstructed.
Many of the old laces found il
the trunks were designed especial
1y for Mrs. Wood in European lac
making centers.

AUCTION BIDDING:
The only question in this hand is:
Shall the dealer bid one no trump or

better as it gives partner more accurate
information. With this bid, partner will
not be deceived but, if z should bid one
heart, there is very strong chance
that the bid will deceive partner and
probably result in big loss. The only
argument In favor of the heart bid Is
that II Is safer bid than no trump
because, If rs ace of clubs and spades
are taken out of his hand, he may not
be able to score one no trump. This is

Roberto Montenegro by name, who has evil

work nationalistic tendencies. This collection,
which is on view in the small gallery on the

Mexican art and the talent Of one Of the con.
