OF all the perplexing problems
~ which confront a bridge play
er, the one which arises most fire.
quently is exemplif1ed by the fol-
lowing hand from the national
masters contract pair champion
ship.
The decision between doubling
the opponents and continuing with
ones own SUIT must be made many
times in each session of play.
1t is just as puzzling to the skilled
player as to the novice, and, while
the expert will decide correctly in a
greater number of cases, he still
is far from perfection.
If the decision is close, distribu-
ton usually is the determining fac
tor. A freak hand containing very
long and very short suits usually
will play better at ones own dec
laration, while a balanced hand
with strength distributed in several
suits is adapted better to defensive
play.
How these principles are applied
in practice was we'll illustrated by
Sir Derrick j Wernher and Geof-
frey Mott Smith, playing East and
West, respectively, opposed by w.
K. Barratt and John Rau playing
North and South.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The
In smaller woman, five feet four
and less. is finding coat selection
simple this fall. Fashions new coat
silhouette is pleasant for her. The
higher waistline and long, pencil
line through the skirt make her
seem an inch or two taller than the
yardstick says.
OF course a short woman, espe-
cially If she's a bit plump, never
should wear the dropped armholes
you see in so many of the new coats.
But she'll find plenty Of Just-as-
smart ones with set-in sleeves.
Because most shorter women rule
out long-haired furs in any guam
tity (since they overwhelm her size
and make her look chunky, these
usually are taken out Of coat selec-
tons for this type.
Flat Fnrs Smart
Instead, you'll see little women'S
coats with the smart fiat furs such
as mink, kolinsky, caracul, Persian
lamb and beaver. That squared
shawl collar in the illustration could
be in any of these.
A medium long shawl collar, as a
matter Of fact, is probably the best
kind a short woman could pick.
Not long enough to make her
look "all cellar but with enough of
an up-and-down line to heighten
her little through the bodice.
A plaStron collar (cut in fiat bib
effect with little outstanding collar
at the neck) looks well too. That is,
if it's not too wide not out to
the shoulder line.
Smooth Materials Best
OF course, materials should be
smooth and unbulky. Smart broad
cloths and fine crepes, or some of
the indistinct diagonals.
If you're woman of five feet
four or less, you'll avoid the dumpy
look you dislike SO much by watch
ing such points, in all other clothes
as we'll as coats.

you, showing which details of the
new fall clothes are most f1atter-

two hearts, and West two spades.
The bidding continued in a spirit
ed manner, with North bidding
three hearts. east three spades. and
South four hearts.
Mott-Smith, in the West. feared
that South could make four hearts.
SO he overcalled with four spades,
scarcely expecting to make that
contract. but willing to take small
sacrifice.
Barratt in the North, having a
balanced hand. with high card tricks
in three suits. doubled.
East passed, and Rau, in the
South, found himself in a difficult
situation.
He knew the spade contract could
not be set more than one or two
tricks. which would be small COM
pensation for giving up a game in
hearts.
From his partners bidding, he
judged that the hearts and clubs
were solid, no spade tricks could be
lost, and North very likely had
diamond trick. So Rau decided to
try for five hearts.
Mott-Smith, in the West, having
four hearts in addition to his other
values, doubled. North passed and
now the decision was put up to Sir
Derrick in the East.
Due to the extremely unbalanced
distribution of his hand, he con-
cluded that it must be played at his
suit, and bid five spades, which
again was doubled by North.
The Play
The result of the hand showed
that each player had bid his cards
perfectly. East was obliged to con-
cede one heart, one diamond, and
one club, therefore was defeated one
trick at his five spade contract and
lost 100 points.
South could have made five hearts
doubled for a score of $50 not
vulnerable, but he could not make
six, so he had to be satisfied with
the Hotpoint penalty.
