THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY By Anti
WASHINGTON FASHIONS

The crying need now seems
to be for dresses that can be
worn right away under spring
coats, and that can finish out
the summer as street dresses
without coats. There are
several answers to the question,
the most obvious of which is
prints, such as we Sketched
two days ago. Then there's a
newer solution, just recently
appeared in Washington, dresses
of a fabric called "cravette,"
a cravat silk. 1t has many
advantages, and not the least
of them is that it is in medium
sized checks, which have been
strongly sponsored by both
Paris and American designers.
Like Silk Jersey
To quote someone else who
has written about this new
fabric, "It has all the chic of
a swagger-checked silk jersey.
but has none Of the unpleasant
stretchy qualities" Some people
are calling it peau DANCE jersey,
because of it's very smooth,
silky surface. It looks knitted,
but is woven, and has the depth
of color that you find when
the color is woven in and not
printed. Although it is really
smooth, it looks rough, and so
has the texture interest that is
SO important this year. 1t
should not crush easily, and so
will be excellent for travelling,
too.
Cape Comes Off
This new material comes in
several smart styles, two Of
which we have sketched here.
They are different enough to
show you what can be done
with it. The very young-look-
ing dress with the detachable
cape proves how right Paris
was when they showed so many
capes in The midseaSon open
ings. We will adopt more and
more of them, this season and
in seasons to come, and they
will often be detachable like
this one. This is the new cape
length, too. 1t may be hard to
get used to short sleeves with a
cape dress, but you must admit
they look refreshingly new, and
will be very jaunty with gloves
wrinkled down about the wrists.
This dress comes in brown, red
or blue checks with white. The
buttons are glass, and the
flowers of peau DANCE, hand
rolled. 1t is priced $3.50. ].
New Type Sleeve
The other dress sketched is a
bit more conservative, but just
as smart. The sleeves are cut
for shoulder width, and extend
right into the bias pieces that
cross in front, go right on
around the waist, making a

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGANCLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGANCLENDENING, M. D.
The controversy as to the
merits of white bread or whole
wheat bread is getting warmer
than ever. Ten years ago the
whole-wheaters had the floor;
they proclaimed that the white
bread was positively harmful
and whole wheat the only
healthful form of bread.
Today the white-breaderS
have begun to fight back: they
say that whole wheat and bran
are harmful and cause indiges-
ton and COLTS and white bread
is the only sensible way to eat
bread.
The whole wheat and bran
advocates are now on the de-
fensive.
The idea Of this series on
bread began when a reader
asked me which side of the con-
troverSy I am on. I am not on
either side. Whole wheat is
just what some people need; it,
is irritating and indigestible to
others. White bread is highly
nutritious for most people; for
some it does not contain enough
fibre, and for some it causes in
digestion by stimulating too
much acid in the stomach.
Too many questions, especially
dietetic questions, are settled by
partisans in that dogmatic,
one-track way. How can one
article of diet be exactly right
for 12O,OOO,OOO people, all with
different kinds of digestive
systems and nutritional engines?
The worst example I have
had of this attitude was in a
letter from the superintendent
of schools of a city of medium
size. She accused me of being
in the pay of the bakers and
stated that she had issued
orders that every child in school
should have nothing except
whole wheat bread in the school
lunches. When a person in
power gets an idea fixed like
that it does positive harm be-
cause some of those children
are bound to have digestive
tracts too irritable to digest
whole wheat.
So far as the bakers are con-
cerned they have no interest
whatever in the controversy.
They make both kinds of bread,
equally we'll. But they have
found that most people cannot
eat whole wheat comfortably
and when the whole wheat
argument is reinforced by say
ing that white bread is harm
full, people are frightened off
and as a consequence eat no
bread at all.

Knowing that his partner was
"a bidder" z contended him.
self with a modest opening bid
of Diamonds, upon strength
that would cause many players
to bid an immediate game, or
force partner to respond. Y bid
2-Spades. When z went to s.
Diamonds over BIS 3-HeartS, Y
jumped the declaration to 7-Dia-
mondS. z discarded his losing
heart upon the Ace Of clubs, but
his spade finesse put him down
one trick.
When called upon by w to
give an opinion concerning the
overbidding, of course I had to
agree that Y had exceeded his
values when he bid a grand
slam. When I informed z that
he could have made a grand
slam, was for a moment in bad
with both players.
z should have played the
hand in a different maner, at
tempting to squeeze his op-
ponents. Try playing the hand
as given here. Win the first
trick with the Ace of hearts.
Lead two rounds of winning
trumps, dropping all outstand-
ing diamonds. Lead a spade.
Win the trick with US K.
Lead the Ace of Clubs. Discard
your lowest spade. Lead a sec
ond club. and trump it. You
have won the first six tricks.
If the play indicates the miss
ing @ of Spades is held by A,
you can finesse; in case play
indicates B holds the @ of
Spades you can squeeze B.
To effect the squeeze, proceed
to play out all your trumps, even
the last one that you hold. You
cannot squeeze B if you fail to
lead your last trump. Six tricks
have been won before you start
leading out your five remaining
trumpS. BY the time you have
lead your eleventh card A will
be reduced to the Q of Clubs,
with one other card, either a
spade or another club, or he
may retain one heart with his
q of Clubs.
let go everything from
dummy except the Al of Spades.
You know that A still holds the
Q of Clubs, as B has had to let
go his K of Clubs on the ninth
or tenth trick, in order to save
his heart and his two spades.
At the end of the tenth trick B
is reduced to the good heart,
and his Q-8 of Spades. What
will he discard when you make
your eleventh lead? Probably
he will discard his heart, be-
cause he is not certain that you
hold the 10 of that suit. Al
most certainly he will save his
guarded Q of Spades. 1t is pos
Sible that he will let go the
guard to his spade, hoping that
you will finesSe. in which case
he could win both a spade trick
and a heart trick.
Any player who carefully
watches opponents play, and
draws proper deductions from
the fall of the cards, can make
a grand slam through a squeeze.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
Prizes and Gifts

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Not long ago a married
woman friend of mine was
given a surprise birthday party
by relatives and friends. The
evening was spent playing
progressive euchre. Prizes for
high and low scores were
awarded, both to women and
men. and these prizes were kept ;
by the ones to whom they were
awarded. The guests brought
individual gifts and furnished
the refreshments. Prizes and
tallies were purchased by the
husband Of the honored guest.
At later date, some of the
people who had attended the
party were discussing it, and
some were of the opinion that
the women who had won the
prizes should have presented
them to the guest of honor.
Others thought that the prizes
which were awarded were
given to the guest of honor
only in case the party was
shower. What is your opinion?
Even though it had been a
birthday surprise with only.
women guests, would it have
been good manners Z, for the
prize winners to have presented
their gifts to the honored guest?:
I see no reason why prizes
SO won should not be kept by
those who have won them It
seems bit ridiculous to offer
prizes and then take for
granted that the winners should
give them away. And no guest
of honor with a clear perSpec-
tive about such things would
want to have these prizes given
to her. It's inconsistent and
inappropriate.
If the prizes are to be turned
into gifts for the guest of
honor. why not designate them
as gifts to her In the first
place? :
A prize is a prize, and a
gift is a gift, and they should
be kept as they are meant.
And this is true, to my mind,
for the, prizes also that are
given at shower, and for the
prizes that are given at any
other kind of party. !
