Fancies>

It's not too soon to think in
terms of velvet for velvet frocks
are already gracing the shops.
A lovely evening frock is made
Of dull velvet in garnet red.
Shirring at the high waistline
is held by a ruby and rhine
stone ornament. There are
tiny puffed sleeves and a short
train. -.
Everlasting in it's smart ap-
peal is black accented with a
sparkling touch. A lovely new
evening frock is of black triple
sheer with two rows of black
net ruching edging the hem Of
the skirt. Pointed scanning
holds the skirt to the figure.
Twin diamond clips mark each
side Of the U-shaped neckline
as the only ornament.
No more hiding for the os-
trich since his plumage is the
last word for evening wear.
With a frock of white chalky
crepe is worn a lei of white un-
curled ostrich, while a black
frock compliments it's charm
by the addition of a red ostrich
boa, worn with matching red
crepe shoes.
OF course you'll be wearing
velvet turbans for formal wear
this year. A lovely model is
made Of black velvet tubes
mounted on black chiffon and
finished with black velvet
roSetteS at either side.

they never heard of a married
woman being an attendant at a
wedding. Wouldn't this be all
right? I would rather have my

BY all means have your older

customary to have married
attendants as it is to have un-
married attendants. No dis

CHAPTER. 10

S1S0- -
Morning sun streamed through
the wide windows, illumining
the austere Spanish room,
turning the dim tapestries to
brilliant garnet and purple and
gold.
Val sat up and looked out
the window, surprised and de-
lighted to see that Miles
house was built on the hills
overlooking the sea. She had
not realized the beauty of the
setting at night.
White jasmine garlanded the
windows. A mocking bird sang
his thrillingly sweet song in a
giant pepper tree just below.
"Val, darling-awake? Want
to get up for breakfast, or
have it up here?"
Millie, radiant and lovely,
and fresh as the morning in
chalk white sport dress and a
little loose pink jacket that ex-
actly matched her cheeks, was
laughing in the doorway.
"Oh-want to get up! It's
so beautiful, it's wicked to lie
here!"

"Then I'll tell them-weU
have it downstairs. Don't hurry.
We haven't a thing to do but
enjoy ourselves!"
So Millie, with a careless wave
and a swish Of her white silk
skirts. the old Millie back
again!. disappeared, and Val
splashed and whistled in the
luxurious tiled bathroom that
she didn't have to share with
anyone, and wondered why she
had felt so blue the night be-
fore.
Millie hadn't changed! She
might live in an authentic Span
ish house and wear sport clothes
instead of the picturesque trail
ing things she used to wear, but
at heart she was the same Mil
lie, merry, laughing, carefree.
All the strain of the night be-
fore was gone. They sat at
little painted table in the patio
that was shaded with banana
trees and Towering vines, and
dappled with sun, and drank
coffee and gossiped as comfort
ably as though they had never
been apart.
Vincent was out.
Aunt Julia was far away in
Oakland.
MiIlie and she were together
again.

we'd never been Separated?"

A made an opening bid Of
1-Club. Under Suit-over-suit
procedure B bid only 1-Spade
to force another declaration
from his partner. A did not
attempt to end contracting, by
. bidding game. A bid 3-Spades.
To show that he held three
biddable suits, B next bid
4-Hearts. A shifted to 4-Spades.
Then B bid 5-Diamonds, leav-
ing both the suit and the de-
nomination of the final bid to
his partner.
Because B had not bid 3-No
Trumps, over AS 3-SpadeS, to
show that B held four trumps.
A knew that all his partners
bidding was to show that he
held five spades, four hearts,
four diamonds and no clubs.
To think that a small slam
was probable B must have the
AK, at least of spades. To
bid each of two other suits OF
only four cards, B must hold at
least the Ace of both those
short suits. A held the Q of
one of those short suits and
he held the K of the other suit.
A could ruff the third round
in hearts, and he held two
cards in clubs on which his
partner could discard two red
cards, if needed. Four spades
to the J-1O made A think that
at least a small slam should be
made, and he bid 6-Spades. or
course B had no right to in
crease the contract seemed safe
by his partner. Had A bid
only 5-Spades, B never would
have increased the contract.
z made an opening lead OF
his j of diamonds. BIS Q won
the trick. With nine trumps in
the two hands the declarer
went for the drop. He led his
K of spades, and the Q dropped
at his right, marking z with
the 9-4 left. Dummy'S 10 won
the next spade trick, and de-
clarer's Ace won the fourth sue
cessive trick, leaving one trump
n dummy, and none with either
opponent. AS Y's diScardS were
non-commital we need not state
what they were.
Now came BIS mastery hand
ling of diamonds. z might have
led the j from J-10-X, J-1O,
J-XX, or j alone. But the de-
clarer's method Of playing that
suit insured a heart discard
for dummy, regardless OF how
diamonds were distributed.
z led his 5 of diamonds,
when the Z covered, AS 8 was
played. It won the trick, and
dummy'S K won the next trick.
Suppose that the 8 had lost to
the 10 in Y's hand. Dummy's
K would have won the next
diamond trick, and upon BIS
Ace dummy would have dis
carded his lone guard to the
@ of hearts, so that no heart
trick could have been lost, in
Suring a small slam. AS the
hand went, B made a grand
slam.
Dummy's K of diamonds won
the third trick of that suit.
Two of declarer'S hearts were
discarded upon dummy's AK
of clubs. Dummy's Q of hearts
was led. Declarer's Ace won
the trick. Dummy's last heart
was discarded upon BIS Ace
of diamonds. Dummy trumped
BIS last heart. The declarer
held only trumps, and claimed
his small slam, with one trick
over.

2-Twice within a point Of de-

sticky heat that it appeared as

lapsing, Ellsworth Vines Of Pasadena,

game comeback yesterday to van
quish Sidney B. Wood. jr., of New York
as the West triumphed over the East
by 5 to in the intersectional team
matches. Vines won, 60, As, 8-6.
In one of the most stirring exhibi-
tions seen on these courts in years.
Vines. hitting with startling speed and
on hair-trigger edge, moved down the
f1axen-haired young Wimbledon cham
pion of 1881 at 60 in the first set and
appeared to have his opponent at his
mercy when he established lead OF
+2 in the second chapter.
At this juncture. abandoning his
peaceful driver, Wood softened his
game, with the object Of undermining
his rivals control. but at the same time
mixing in burning service aces and
ground strokes at intervals to catch
the Californian off guard
These tactics Immediately brought
results and Wood took four games in
a row to take the set at Ga.
In the third set only point stood
between Vines and defeat. While
trailing 4 to 5, he served and the gal
lery held its breath. Woods back
hand return was wide Of the court.
Again the battle reached match point
and again Wood returned service be-
yond the side line from his back-hand.
After a net-cord shot had given
Vines advantage point he pulled out
the game and, after running 1t to Gall,
| in the thirteenth, the champion, arolis-
ing himself, broke through to win the
match
After resting, Vines returned to the

Bull Montana has none other than
Douglas Fairbanks to thank for his
