the Masters list, decided his only chance was to go to work on the club suit.
 He led a small spade, won with the king, and cashed the ace of spades. Then he played the seven of clubs. West played the queen and Porter won the trick in dummy with the ace. He now led the jack of clubs.
 Remember, this was trick that he need not lose, but he deliber- ately gave this up, discarding his losing jack of hearts. He lost noth- ing there, but in making this play, he established the ten and nine of clubs in dummy.
 West won the trick with the king of clubs and laid down the queen of hearts. Porter ruffed with a small spade and played an other spade. which he won in the dummy with the queen.
 He then --discarded two losing diamonds on the two good clubs. By deliberately losing an extra trick, he ended up with only three losers in the hand, thereby mak- ing his contract.

elegant or, in fact, whatever the
genius Of their fancy suggests.
Another White House tradition will
have been added on the night of De-
cember 8 to the several innovations
started by Mrs. Roosevelt.
While only q few events stir So
ciety aside from the mild but lively
little ripple of affairs kept up for
the debutantes, these are delightful
breaks, and like the events of last
week. many Of them will be for visi-
tors from across the ocean. The Min
lister Of the Union Of South Africa
and Mrs. Close had a particularly
interesting group Of visitors last week
and society had the pleasure of twice
joining in the hospitality of the lega-
ton. Sir Ronald Lindsay also en-
tertained. as did the Minister of
Switzerland and Nine. Peter.
The beautiful legation of Egypt, will
be opened Tuesday for the postponed
afternoon reception to celebrate the
accession Of his majesty, King Faud I,
to the throne, an event first ar
ranged for October 8, but postponed
on account Of the death of King Alex

Sweden and Nine Bostrom are CIV

Of the two arch favorites, the retir-
ing Minister of Greece and Nine.
Simopoulos. II there are persons
in Washington in any station of life
who have not kind words to say of
the Minister Of Greece and his wife
they have not been discovered.
A trifiing incident worth mention
ing is that of the taxicab driver who
declares it has been a great pleasure
to him to take the son Of the house
Of Simopoulos to and from school,
an arrangement lasting over a long
period of time. He gloats over the
fact that Nine. Simopoulos has some
times ridden with them and he joins
the ranks in declaring her a charm
ing person. Perhaps no one in the
corps has ever found so much amuse-
ment in the comic strips in news
papers as has Nine. Simopoulos, who,
however, wonders why Orphan Annie
does not grow up under the artists
pen.
The Minister of China and Nine.
SZe are giving a dinner Wednesday
for the United States Minister to
China and Mrs. Nelson T. johnson
who are here until January, when
they will return to his post. Then
there are the concerts this afternoon
