WASH H|NGTON FASH HONS

It's admittedly too early to
talk about fall fashions, but the
subject keeps coming up. Part
of the reason is the August
sales of furS, coats and suits
that are going on, and the rest
of the reason is the people who
are going on trips, and want to
buy things now that they can
use in the fall too. So with
apologies to those who aren't
ready to do their fall planning,
we touch the subject again to-
day, this time discussing suits.
Ever since swagger coats
came out in the spring, fashion
lists have been predicting that
we'd have them as coats to
suits in the fall, and from the
first suits to arrive, the proph-
eSy seems justified. All the
suits that have been seen so
far have had swagger coats,
though there will be others
later on with different types of
coats. It's a practical fashion,
especially for travel, where you
must conserve all the space you
can, for the coats, which are
usually three-quarters or seven
eighths length, can be worn as a
separate wrap over dresses or
othe" suits.
The suits designed for travel
and street wear, are either of
tWeedS, or of rather rough
woolens, often with a diagonal
weave. They may be in sober
color, or in the vivid reds and
green's that will splash the fall
horizon. They are fairly con-
servative in cut, but have roomy
sleeves, so that they offer the
utmost in comfort, and will be
splendid for fall sports too.
Some have accompanying blouSes
or sweaters, others are just an
ensemble of skirt and coat, so
that you can select your own
blouSes.
The furleSs suit sketched is
extremely practical, and is
proving favorite in New York,
as we'll as in Washington. 1t
is of tweed, a medium weight,
in dark mixtures accenting
brown or gray. It's a four
piece ensemble, hat, coat, skirt
and blouse. The lightweight
sweater blouse is in white for
the gray suits, and in beige or
yellow for the brown and tan
mixtures. It's hard to imagine
a better travel costume, especi-
ally if you're going on board a
boat, for you can SO easily
vary it with the use of other
blouses or with dresses. 1t is

Muscles are the most perfect

Strong men and feats of
strength and proWeSS have al
ways been held in high esteem
by the human race. This is
explained by Guyot-Daubes as
a survival from prehistric times
when our ancestors had to bat
tie against savage beasts and
marauding neighbors. The
strong man alone survived; the
weak perished. Perhaps the
strong man of the tribe saved
the weaker brethren from their
fate.
The last of the great kings
who retained the ancient PROV
esS supposed to go with leaders
of a people was the Car Alex
ander III. In the Memoirs of
a Grand Duke" that interest
ing autobiography of the Grand
Duke Alexander, he relates how
the Cars railway train was
threatened by a bomb. The
bomb blew up the support of
treStle over which the train
was to pass, and the Car got
out and himself took the trestle
on his shoulders while the
train passed over it.
This is the last example of
the kind of king who was ling
because he fought his way by
brute strength to leadership Of
his people.
Professional strong men al
ways have been popular. as have
the feats of local heroes
Samson. for instance. One
such was a butcher living in
the mountains of Margeride. 1t
is told of him that he seized a
mad bull by the horns and
held it until attendants could
tie it up. One of his stunts
was to get under a cart loaded
with hay and raise it up. grad

and then to a standing posi-

CHAPTER 81


More bunk has probably been
disseminated about the python

known to the collector OF

There is, for instance,

Jungle explorer who, suddenly
coming upon a python that had
poised itself for an attack,
saved his life by dashing for
convenient clearing where there
were no trees stout enough to
provide the would-be killer with
sufficient tail leverage.
The sheer absurdity of this
yarn would be more obvious II

python coiled around a deer,

watch the huge reptiles

z made a forcing bid of Two
Hearts. Y responded with Two
Spades. The response appeared
to assure game, possibly a slam,
at some make. Wishing the

him, z bid Four No TrumpS.
Y bid Five Spades, and z re-
torted with Five No Trumps.
When Y bid Six Spades. z
dropped out. He knew his
partner, and he feared that a
bid of Six No trumpS would
force Y into bidding Seven
Spades.
The opening lead was the
Three of Clubs, marking four
cards of that suit in BIS hand.
Not knowing whether B led
away from K, dummy's Q was
lost on a fineSse. A returned
his Q of Diamonds, and dummy
won with the K.
Y counted his certain tricks
as follows: Spades, six; hearts,
two; clubs, one; diamonds, two;
a total of II. The only place
to pick up an added trick was
in hearts. But who held the
missing @? If A held that i'm
portant card, dummy's j must
be played through A. If B
held the missing @, the 10
could be counted upon to win
a finesse, unless the @ went up
on the second lead of hearts,
then dummy could win the
balance of tricks required for
a small slam.
To force discards, the de-
clarer ran off six straight
tricks in spades. B had to
make four discards. letting go
three clubs (evidently all he
held of that suit, unless he had
made a fifth-best opening lead)
and the 6 of diamonds. For
the ninth trick, Y led a club,
winning the trick with dummy's
ace, and forcing B to discard
his lowest heart. The tenth
trick was won with US ace Of
diamonds. B showed out of
that suit by discarding his
of hearts, showing plainly
that he had left nothing except
three hearts.
At the end of the tenth trick
the declared held only the K, 2
of hearts and a losing club. A
had discarded down to lone
heart, and the top card in
clubs and the top card in dia-
monds. Y knew just the num-
ber held by each opponent.
He knew that A held the j in
clubs and the in diamonds.
The only knowledge that Y
lacked was the denomination of
the single heart held by A. Y
laid down his K of heart. He
carefully watched to see what
his opponents played. B played
the 7 and A played the 9. On
the 2 of hearts B played his
8, dummys j won the trick,
leaving the Ace of hearts to
win the twelfth trick for the
declaring side.
What might have appeared
Wizardly to an onlooker know
ing little of real card play,
really was only a commonplace
method followed by all experts
to know in advance what each
opponent holds at the end of
a hand. One might say that
the cards gave the small slam
to the declarer, but that is not
true. He was prepared to play
in any manner best calculated
to yield him the number Of
tricks that he had bid.
One hears too much about
card sense" as if that mental
attribute were a birthright. In
reality, card sense chiefly con,
sists of noting what happens.
and of drawing proper con
clusions from what each player
sees occur. 1t comes to some
more readily than it does to
others. but card sense may be
acquired.

Friends of Evangelist John

will enjoy reading his great
poem, "a Good Wife, Heavens
Gift To Man." which is repub-

Baker, says this is the greatest
poem ever written on this sub
ject, and will do much good.
It's originality and grandeur
are sublime.
Many letters have been re-
