Patricia did not go to the

mined to relieve him of any OBJ

been changed by the disastrous
trip downtown. The bargain

South held dropped upon the
three hearts won by dummy, so
that the declarer was enabled
to discard his K of diamonds
upon a fourth heart in dummy,
giving the declarer a grand
slam upon his small slam con-
tract into which South's bid of
5-Spades had forced East to go.
I do not know when I have
seen a hand better played by
instinct. Why East should have
won the first trump trick by
overtaking dummy's 8 with his
9, instead of putting up his K,
is one of those mysterious
things that happen in the
game. Had he played that way,
and then led his Ace, he still
could have made a small slam,
by playing hearts as he did, and
allowing North to win one
trump trick. I fear that the
instinct shown by East would
not always work well.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LdVNe

Now that it is midsummer we
find that all our early predic-
tions about cottons for evening
are fulfilled. Every smart cot
ton fabric that is good in the
daytime finds an evening use,
too, and many others, suitable
only for evening or for trim
ming daytime cottons, make
glamorous gowns for evening
wear. The field has broad
ened since spring, when linen,
pique, and organdie were the
chief cottons used after dark.
Now you find in addition, voile,
gingham, dotted swiss, and per-
haps others if you search the
stores and dance floors. Any
cotton fabric, however informal.
may appear for dancing or roof
dining if it is made properly,
and there's limitless variety in
the ways they can be made and
trimmed. So much variety, in
fact, that each gown is indi-
vidual, and gives you lndivldu-
ality in the wearing.
Wolfe Goes Formal
Wolfe is the latest fabric to
be put into evening gowns.
However much you may think
of it as an informal daytime
material, you must modify your
view, for voile in fine grade
is al lovely as chiffon, and has
a quality all it's own. Cotton
may be printed in exquisite
patterns, and we'll printed voile
is as gracious as a silk print.
And such a print you see IN
our sketch on the left. The
gown is of a lovely flower
printed voile, delightful soft
colors combined, with orchid,
peach or yellow predomlnatlng.
Narrow piping in plain color
organdie marks each important
edge, and tiny ruffles of the
organdie top the full putfed
sleeves, giving a flat, yet wide
appearance that is very new.
The dress is cut low in the
back, but ted up as you see in
the sketch. It is priced $3.50,
and is in misses sizes.
New Wide Shoulders
On the right you see a gown
that is equally attractive, but
in a different way. Instead OF
low-placed skirt fullness, the
skirt swings full from the hips
and makes a lovely ruStling
sound, as the dress is of or
ganza, that stiffened chiffon
that has body yet is soft. The
plaid design is in self color,
and the dress comes in white,
tea rose and French blue, with
contrasting flowers and belt,
smart colors such as periwlnkle
with the tea rose, and yellow
with the blue. The ruffleS
over the shoulders are particu-
larly noteworthy because OF
their flat flare. which is the

Eclipse
The shadows wore a wan and
spectral look,
A sallow tint touched all the
glowing earth;
Was it in dread the song
lows shook?
Was it in dread the song
birds ceased their mirth?
A silence crept along the noon
day land,
A silence swallowing each
happy sound
AS a great wave may swallow
from the sand
Each shining shell, each sea-
flower streWn around.
The startled chickens sought
their roosts, pell-mell,
The watchdog skunk beside
his masters heels.

Bidding went: South, 1-Spade;
West, 2-Hearts; North, 2-Spades;
East, 4-Clubs, to show his power
full suit and urging partner to
assist: South, 4-Spades; West,
5-Clubs; North, Pass; East, Pass.
Had South better rebid, pass or
double? I think that South
should pass. North has declined
to support him more than once.
Both opponents have bid. East's
strong initial bid of clubs shows
great length and strength in
trumpS.
South cannot hope to make
more than 4-odd. 1t may be
that North can defeat the ad-
verse contract, but I would be
afraid of driving a vulnerable
pair into slam bid that could
be made, if I bid more spades
in South'S position. But South
bid 5-Spades, which West dou-
bled. East bid 4-Clubs, as he
did not expect to win even one
defensive trick. All passed.
The opening lead was the K
of spades. Dummy trumped
with the 2, then led the 8, when
North did not cover the de-
clarer won the trick with his 9,
and discovered that South held
no clubs. East picked up North'S
@ with his Ace and K. The de-
clarer now had one lone chance
of fulfilling his contract. He
led his 7 of hearts, finessed
dummy's J, and it held the
trick. Upon dummy's Ace and
K of hearts the declarer dis
carded his last spade and his

The Adventurous Love Story
of a Woman Bridge Champion
The Washington times., 1933-07-10

Suddenly the girl picked up
the speaking tube and directed
Otto not to the rooming house
but to her old neighborhood.
Childishly, superstitiously, she
determined to keep a final rem
devious with the past. She
pulled all the curtains. She
meant to see, not to be seen.
Would Teresa be playing in the
street? Patricia's heart beat
faster as they turned at Wash
ington Square. Her fingers
trembled at the curtains. She
saw a familiar grocery store,
saw fat old Mr.. Holtz locking
up for the night. What would
ne say if she suddenly opened
the door and spoke to him?
They drove along Sixth Ave
nue. to the tune of elevated cars
screaming overhead. Patricia
had set herself for her first
sight of her old home. They
took the final turn. She felt
very queer, puzzled. There was
a crowd in front Of the build
ing, a noisy, gesticulating crowd
packed on the sidewalk and
spilling into the street. She
scowled. What had happened?
A fire? Then she realized that
the crowds a attention was
focused on the basement floor;
she saw the people streaming
in and out of the old apart
ment. Something had happened
to Lillian and to Teresa and the
baby!
Bills Vengeance
She seized the speaking tube
and told Otto to stop at once.
When he obeyed she counter
manded the order. Even in her
anxiety and excitement she
knew she could not arrive at
her old home in such Splendor.
A block farther on, she alighted
and ran all the way back, push
ing through the crowd on the
sidewalk, demanding eXplana-
tions, demanding to know what
had happened. No one could
tell her exactly.
"A bunch of roWdies wrecked
the place, I guess" hazarded
one man, firmly resisting her
attempts to pass him.
Patricia could see that. Lii
lian's sign was down; the front
windows were smashed to frag-
ments. Torn curtains revealed
a scene of desolation within
and a policeman kicking among
the ruins. A troop of cavalry
charging through that room
would have caused no more
damage. Patricia saw it all,
the. broken sewing machine,
the overturned dress form, the
one good chair split down the
middle, the other poor sticks
of furniture fit now only for
kindling. Just then the girl
spied the janitor of the build
ing. She fought her way to-
ward him, caught him by the
arm.

turning. He said quickly, "You

When Should Bidding Stop?

When Should Bidding Stop?
Often it is a question largely
of the state of the score to
determine when bidding should
stop. A vulnerable side cannot
afford to over-bid more than
one trick to save game. They
should not risk bidding to go
down more than two tricks to
save rubber, unless an adverse
slam can be made by a vul-
nerable opponent. When the
hand shown below was dealt,
both sides were vulnerable. At
what point should each side
cease bidding?

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Rule chang es designed to take the premium off human elongation may come and go, but basketball remains undeniably the tall boys game where Western conference compe- tition is concerned.
 In fact, the current season finds probably a greater array of lanky specimens than ever before pound- ing up and down Big Ten hard wood courts, for the mathematics of the case show that the aver age" Big Ten first stringer is six feet two-thirds of an inch tall!e
 This is the average height of Il players who have been used most regularly by coaches of the 10 teams in practice games pre- ceding the league season.
 Of this number, 32 are at least an inch taller than six feet, F are exactly that height, five are within half-inch above or below the mark, and IT are more than an inch under a fathom.
 To Michigan goes the honor of having the tallest man on the list. Center Ed Garner who towers six feet six.

 Another illustration of the de- mand of coaches for ranginess in their basketball material is seen in the fact that of these II play CTS, only four are under feet 10 inches, which is definitely taller than the average male adult of this country.
 Three zof these four are 5 feet 9-Moffitt and Grim of Iowa and Culver of Northwestern while Al Kawai. Northwestern reserve, is the shortest first squad man in the league, standing five feet eight.
 The distribution of lankinsss is so even that the first squad aver age of none of the teams drops below the six-foot line. Illinois has the tallest outfit, averaging six feet one and quarter inches, while Ohio State, Purdue and Minnesota average six feet one.
 The average weight of this com posite Big Ten squad is 173.8 pounds. Chin Kamm of Illinois is the regular giant at 210, with Conrad of Ohio registering POS

Hood is dangerous battler, who
has met Speedy Dado, INT Rob-

their last battle.
This return match is one for
which many coast clubs we're ang-
