About this time Of year we get
the first peep at spring hand
bag fashions. And the new
styles and new materials come
in high light shades for going
on a Southern cruise, as well as
in the darker costume colors for
immediate wear in town.
Exciting and New
This year the new bags are
more interesting than ever. No
matter what you're doing for
the next month or two, you'll
want one-if only just to show
you're keeping up with Fashion.
The materials themselves are
enough to make you buy a new
bag-leathers marvelously soft
and flexible, in both familiar
and new varieties. And such
exciting new details!
If you should happen across
the bag we've sketched on the
left, you'll surely stop to feel the
leather, wondering what could
be so smooth and soft and pill
able. It's capeSkin-and you'll
see lots more of it this spring!
What's more, this little pouch is
block-stitched on the flap-and
that's one of the smarteSt ways
of trimming bags this season.
And smart for other things to
as proved by the belt sketched
underneath. There's a trick en-
semble idea for you! Both bag
and belt come in white or egg
shell for Southern wear, and
black, brown, green or red for
town costumes. The bag is q
little less than $500, and the
block-Stitched capeskin belt uses
just as much leather-because
it's leatherlined-So it costs
about the same.

metal ornament-and the way
the flap is shaped to fit it!
That cut-out silhouette design is

too, which adds to its smart

How should one procure
ventilation when no special sys-
tenn is installed in the house?
And, let us add, during the
winter.
In a room or an office when
the heating is done by a hot
water or steam system circula-
ing in radiators.
Under these conditions-in
fact, under any condition OF
ventilation-fresh air from the
outside should be admitted all
the time.
Movement Of air is an abso-
lutte essential Of good ventila'
ton. The warmest air in a
room is at the ceiling; it is also
the worst air in a room. The
coolest air drops to the floor;
radiators being on the floor
heat the lowest layer of air in
the room. This alone tends to
keep air moving by causing the
lower layers of air, on becoming
warmed, to rise to the ceiling,
provided fresh air is introduced
into the room.
Upon these principles depend
the system Of ventilation known
as window-gravity ventilation.
Provide an opening to admit
fresh outside air, at a low level
in the room. This means open-
ing window from the bottom.
Provide an opening to allow
hot, stale air to escape at a
high level in the room. This
means opening q window from
the ton.

Holding three or more trumps,

he cannot also count for a

opening bid of only one, but
he felt able to raise his part
ner's semi-demand bid to Three
Clubs. When considering a bid
in excess of four it is well to
heed losing tricks held, as well
as probable winners. It seemed
to B that he had one losing
card in hearts, as well as two
club losers; on that account it
appeared sounder for him to
strongly support his partners

win one added trick at minor
suit make; so B jumped the bid
to Four Spades. z ventured 60
ing Five Clubs, which probably
would be a cheap method OF
saving game. The only way A
could find of counting enough
tricks to risk Five Spades was
to count his ability to ruff
clubs in one trick, in addition
to his original trump valuation
of 31a probable tricks. Only
the apparent length of trumps
held by his partner warranted
AS bid of Five Spades, which
held the contract.
The opening lead was the

the trick. Before forcing A to
trump a second club lead, z
laid down his Ace of Hearts,
fearing that the declarer might
establish dummy's long dia-
mond suit, to discard thereon
all his hearts.
To win all the remaining
tricks, A took three rounds of
spades. Next he led out his K
and Ace of diamonds, without
trying to trap the @. AS both
opponents followed with low
cards he knew that the next
lead would cause the missing
@ to appear. The declarer
used his last trump to win the
trick. Then dummy had to
