Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

The scene Of this little trag.
edy, or comedy if you will, was
a well.known beauty parlor,
where a middleaged lady was
waiting for her favorite hair
cutter to give her boyiSh bob.
She had a luncheon date
with her daughter, who dropped
in for a facial" The girl was
as feminine and frilly as the
mother was boyish and hard
boiled.
Mother was smoking, lighting
one cigarette from the fag of
the last, and there was a de-
termined air about the per-
formance, more dogged than
happy. The lady ordered a
short shingle, quite short,
please" and the scissors began
its work.
Daughter, looking out from
behind a mask of cold cream,
said rebukingly: why Mamma,
don't you know all that sort
of thing has gone out? It's
terribly old-fashioned to be so
boyish."
And the bewildered mother
in the chair sat up and Won
dered how, at such short notice,
she could reverse herself. She
had spent 10 years in discard
ing feminity, acquiring the boy
ish silhouette by means Of con-
traptions alongside of which
Queen Elizabeth'S steel corse-
lets were a downy caresS. Now,
at q moments notice, she is
told by her daughter that she's
old-faShioned, and must let her
hair grow a little and buy
frilly clothes.
There is, however, one gleam
of comfort. She has always
hated smoking, and now, thanks
be, she can give it up. Indeed,

might have defeated the con-
tract.
Suppose A led a club, and z
took three rounds of trumpS.
Next he would start to clear
his hearts. A would be in the
lead. and he would force z to
win his second club trick. If
the declarer leads another
heart, A will win his third trick
and a subsequent diamond
lead by z will give A his fourth
trick.
Suppose that z wins the first
club lead in dummy, and after
pulling down all opposing
trumps he provides for a dis
card of his losing club, by
leading his Ace of diamonds,
followed by a low diamond, to
establish the @ of that suit in
dummy. A will win a diamond
trick with his K, and he will
lead back a club, to put the
declarer in. How is he to gain
entry to dummy, to obtain his
discard? The only way of gain
ing entry to dummy is by
leading his last trump, and
overtaking with dummy's last
trump. He then can lead
dummy's good @ of diamonds
and discard his last club, but
that does him no good. A
holds two winning hearts and
the top club, and must win
those three tricks, as both de-
clarer and dummy will be out
of trumps.
If the declarer thinks of it
soon enough he can go game,
by taking only two rounds Of
trumpS, after having won his
first club trick. z can then
lead off his Ace Of diamonds
and a small one. A will win
his first trick, and lead back
a club. The declarer will win
his second club trick, then he
will put dummy in, by taking
his third round of spades.
Upon dummy's good diamond
will go rs last club. He then
has to lose only two heart
tricks.

Bidding went as follows:
z, 1-Spade; A, Double; Y,
2-Spades; B, Pass; z, 2-No
Trumps, to show stops in the
unbid suits and the fact that
he held only four spades; A,
Pass; Y, 3-Spades; B. Pass: z,
4-Spades; A, Double.
Not liking to lead away from
any one of his tenace suits, A
led a trump. The Geclarer took
three rounds of spades, then
he led dummy's 9 of hearts,
putting A in the lead with his
@ A led his j of clubs.
Dummy's Q won the trick.
Back went the 8 of hearts,
overtaken with rs 10 and AS
Ace won the second trick for
his side. When A led back
his 10 of clubs, rs Ace won
the trick. Upon the declarer's
two good hearts the last club
and one of the diamonds were
discarded from dummy. 2 led
his Ace of diamonds, followed
by his 4 of that suit, giving A
his third and last trick, as
dummy ruffed the return lead
of AS club.
The rule to lead a trump
when holding three suits bad
to open is not absolute. In
this case the trump lead gave
the declarer immediate control
of affairs and it enabled him
to establish two good hearts
in his own hand. That proved
fatal to AS hopes of defeating
the contract. An opening lead
of hearts would have been
worse, giving the declaring side
five odd, as A would have won
only one heart trick and one
diamond trick. An opening
lead of diamonds would have
prevented A from winning, his
trick in that suit and would
have enabled z to make five
odd. But an opening lead Of

It is a strange fact that
woman, who since the very
dawn of history appears to
have a source of inspiration to
men, leading them to achieve
great deeds because of her, at
the same time is so easily in
fluenced, herself, and so readily
led by the ever-changing fash
ions of the day.
One would really not expect
woman to be so impresSionable,
for, after all, a woman is prob
ably more Self-sufficient than a
man. She can amuSe herself
when alone better than a man.
She can stand loneliness with
less boredom. Yet men are
Strikingly conservative in their
dress. They can't be made to
wear whatever suits the sea-
sonal fancies of tailors and
hatters. When man likes
certain style he sticks to it.
About the only thing in which
x1C d11OWS 11lI1lOC11 4I1uI11 4CCWdy
are ties and socks.
Women, on the other hand,
often will wear the most un-
becoming dresses and hats if
Paris DEGREES that these shall
be the prevailing style. Witness
the recent Eugene hat vogue
and the present long skirts, by
way of illustration. Many a
woman surely looked the pro-
: verbal sight" with a dress to
the ankles and a tiny cover of
J a bonnet perilouSly perched on
top of her head; but others
were doing it; the shops were
showing such models, and, of
course, the average feminine
heart was in danger of skipping
beats unless the new mode was
adhered to as quickly as pos
sible.
Does it not seem logical as
well as sensible that every
5 woman should figure out for
herself what is most becoming
= and attractive to her particular
figure, face, carriage and gen.
eral personality makeup? Why
Is it that, although woman
can be very independent, even
stubborn, in some of her con-
victions and actions, she like
wise is so plant and depend
ent in the matter of clothes.
The answer to these appar-
ent contradictions must be
! sought, of course, in the very
nature of the female emotions.

FASHIONS By Wilma La Vile

The most glamorous thing
you can have right now is a
white evening wrap. It's the
wrap of the moment, the most
flattering Of wraps, and per-
haps the most beautiful. 1t
follows and intensifies the
vogue for white in the eve
ming, which hasn't diminished
one little bit. It is just a
little lovelier than the favorite
of last winter, the black wrap
with white fur collar. We've
noticed q great number Of
white fur wraps all winter, but
right now the white velvets
are becoming popular, and they
seem even lovelier, at least for
tonight. There's a depth of
beauty to white velvet that
you don't see in anything
even in fur. And many Of
the velvet wraps have fur
collars, too.
Extremes Of Length
It's a matter Of choice
whether you have a long or a
short wrap, though the long
ones have more sweep and
grace, and are considered quite
a bit more luxurious. Usually,
though it's no rule, women
prefer long wraps, and young
girls want little short jackets
that come to the waist or
scarcely below. All the velvet
wraps that the stores are now
showing are warmly interlined.
so that you can wear them
with ease right now, and if
you want to continue wearing
them in the summer, you can
have some of the interlining
taken out. Wraps are either
fur trimmed or not. just as
you prefer, and when fur IS
left off, Shirring or folds Of
the velvet take its place to
make a luxurious and becoming
collar.
Furred or Not
We've Sketched a long, grace
full wrap of white velvet, with
unusually well shaped sleeves,
and white lapin collar. The
same general type wrap comes
with collar of the longer-haired
hare for the same modest
price, which is $25. You can
also find long wraps without
fur for $3.50, a price SO low
that the wraps are not an
extravaganza, though nothing
could look so luxurious. The
short wrap sketched is $3.50.
and it's an adorable one, with
its tiny peplum effect, the
puffs at the top of the sleeves,
and a smart Shirred collar.

tive, instructive reactions
woman never hesitates. Here
she is on sure ground. What
people say or think of her in
this regard she cares not, be-
cause in these reactions she
depends upon an unfailingly re-
liable instinct of herS-intui-
ton!
When the question concerns
personal adornment, however,
especially when trying to har-
monize it with popular fash
ions, her intuition fails. This
is because, in the last analysis,
clothes actually do not rouse
her as deeply as one might
suppose. She thinks a lot
about them. Indeed, there are
women who would seem to de-
vote their lives to them. Never
theless, clothes are only a
means to an end after all.
The greater the variety of
clothes, the greater the chances
so a woman thinks-of her
being considered attractive, or,
better still, irresistible. But
she does not want to be loved
for her clothes alone; she
wants to be loved for herself.
She believes she has something
deeper and more lasting to Of
fer than merely looking well in
a new gown or new bonnet.
Woman, you see, is forever
afraid lest she may be left
behind in the race of rivalry
with her sisters. That, to her,
is an unbearable thought. De-
pendent as she is on love to
complete her instructive crav-
ings. she feels compelled to
compete on any terms, but
when once she has succeeded,
her interest in fashions de-
clines. Clothes have served
their purpose, SO to speak, and
unless her beloved continues to
take an active interest in his
WNe'S personal appearance, an
unmistakable lowering of the
clothes standards will follow.
What women do not seem to
realize, however, is that each
possesses a beauty of charm
different from all other women,
and that every woman should
figure out for herself what
she really looks best in, no
matter what happens to be the
mode of the hour. In this
way she saves money, worry
and time. What is more i'm
portant still, she makes of her
self a distinctive individual.

VIII en- Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. BEECKMAN
Bridge Prizes
Oear Mrs. BeeCkman:

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
There is a question on bridge
etiquette on which I should
very much appreciate your
opinion.
When entertaining at bridge
in honor of a house guest or
even a friend who isn't a house
guest, what is the correct thing
to do about prizes? Suppose,
for instance, that I plan to buy
a guest prize, and also prize
for highest and second highest
scores. If my guest wins high
score, should I present her with
the first prize as well as the
prize guest prize? Or should
I present her with only the
guest prize and give the first
prize to the next highest score?
Or should I present the guest
with the first prize and with
hold the guest prize?
The guest has already been
taken caraaf by the guest
prize, and ven if she should
win high score, I feel that it
would look very out of place
for the guest to be presented
with two prizes and unfair to
the other guests. Do you?
HOSTESS.
This problem, which arises
very often, is, to my way of
thinking, more a question of
logic than it is of etiquette.
That is, it is the answer to
the question: What is the idea
of the prizes? Let's think
about it from this point Of
view. The guest prize is in no
way a reward for excellence Of
playing. It is in no way a re-
ward for excellence of playing.
1t is a charming and gracious
gesture Of simply giving a pres
ent to a guest, the guest of
honor. The bridge prizes are
given for an entirely different
reason, and that reason should,
therefore, be kept separate
from the reason for the giving
of the other gift.
Therefore, think that if the
guest of honor, by the excel
lence of her playing wins the
first prize, she should be given
the first prize. Or if she wins
the second prize she should be
given the second prize. She
shouldn't be dis eliminated
against, just because she is
such a good bridge player!
If I were a guest at such a
party, and had second highest
score, and for this received the
first prize, I should feel en-
barrassed about it, for I should
very definitely feel that I
hadn't earned it, and that it
should be given to the person
to whom it belongs, the real
winner Of the first prize. I be-
lieve. that such an arbitrary
readjustment Of prizes by the
hostess isn't especially good
sportsmanship. I
