THE energetic business girl, who
must needs remain all day
long in the same dress she
Il puts on when she gets up in
the morning, has wardrobe
problems all her own. On the ques
ton of clothes, her ambitions are
simpler than most Women's. She has
reduced her needs TO practical form
ula that contains cool, chic and COM
plete comfort
The fashionable frock pictured takes
INTO consideration the needs of the
business girl. 1t is designed in a way
that withstands that wilted look that
more perishable creations take on
after an hour or more of wear. The
lines of the dress are already where
they intend to stay all day-no high
trimmings Of the crisp and fresh"
variety are featured here so the wear
or may be reasonably certain of max
ing her homeward trip in the evening
looking paSsably smart, at any rate.
The waist section of this dress is
particularly clever. The sleeves are
little breeze catcherS that modeStly
cover the arms without burdening
them. The lines of the yoke are cut
in a way becoming to every age and
type of woman, big or little. The
high collar traces its ancestry to the
shirtmaker frock of last Spring and,
like its forbear, gives note of dig
nifty and conventionality to the dress.
These frocks come in a variety of
materials and cost next to nothing,
either as to material or upkeep. They
are obviously simple and conceal. in

There is no reason for Mrs Aggres-
slve to be so stubborn about her spade
suit. After all, six spades to the
ace-king are nothing wonderful. She
showed her partner that much by her
bid and rebid. Now she should allow
East to play the hand in three no
trump. With probable club open
ing, he makes five no trump.
Against four spades North led
small heart. West went up with the
ace in dummy. dropping the queen
from her own hand The fall Of
the 10 from the South hand meant
nothing in her young life. Two
lovely diScards we're staring her in
the face. And who is there among
you to cast the first stone?
The perfect play, and one which
normally safeguards the contract, is
to take the heart lead in her own
hand. play the ace and king of
trumps and attempt to get into dunn
my with a diamond. That North
ruffs the second lead of diamonds,
foiling the declarer, is compensated
for by the fact that he has the
king of clubs West thus always
makes four spades. But if the trumps
are divided four-one or five-nothing,
so that West may lose two or three
trump tricks instead of only one.
it is imperative that she obtain two
club discards Immediately and keep
the lead in dummy to take the
diamond finesse.
l should have been suspicious Of
the original heart lead. At best it
might indicate that North held both
minor kings and objected to leading
from either. At worst-well, West
continued with the king of hearts and
South promptly ruffed with the 10
of spades. She knew that Mrs. Ag-
gressive would be forced to over
trump with an honor. and she hoped
to set up a trump trick in her part
ner's hand.
If West overtrumpS all is not yet
lost, North. fortunately. has the
king Of clubs, and she can get into
dummy by leading small club, IN
order to take the diamond flnesse
West was so shocked by South's play
however, that she refused to over
trump, discarding a small club instead
South banged back a club. West
hopefully played low, and North took
the trick with the king. He returned
the nine OF hearts.
West refused to cover, playing low
from dummy. South didn't forget
anything. She knew that the nine
was high, but the seven OF spades in
her hand was doing her absolutely no
good. Possibly her partner had the
eight spot. She could see from the
panied expression on Vests face that
things weren't going so well, so she
trumped Norths good trick with the
seven of spades. West was forced to
overtrump with the king of spades

from six to eight babies. At a very
early age the youngsters are dressed
in the same colorS as their parents
The babies are born in April and
remain with their mother until they

Young martens love to play games

they have learned to do all their
climbing and hiding without special
instruction, which is far more fun

Apparently frightened by recollec-

today after a second alarm had been

to stop the alarm from ringing.

RESTRICTION URGED

Vice President of A. A. A. Club
Cites High Percentage of
Fatalities.

Lack Of pedestrian control is one
of the most serious aspects of the
traffic accident situation in Washing
ton, according to statement today
by Ernest N Smith, executive vice
president of the American Automobile
Associations District of Columbia Mo-
tor Club. OF the 80 motor fatalities
in the District in 1898, he said, 81
were pedestrians.
From the standpoint Of injuries, u
the statement said, the situation is
equally bad During the last five years
approximately $4,000 men, women
and children have been more or less
seriously injured in motor accidents
OF this total, around 5000 were pc
destrians.
Adjustment of the present traffic
situation must proceed on the as
sumption that motorists and pedes-
trians have equal rights and equal OBJ
legations. Rules laid down must ap-
ply equitably to both.
Lights should be so arranged as
to give the pedestrian plenty of time
to cross at intersections, which is not
now the case. Motorists should be
strictly prohibited from second
chiseling at the expense of the person
on foot. But, by the same token, Pc
destrians, for their own safety, must
be compelled to obey traffic signals
and subjected to such control as Is
necessary to the safety and facilitat-
ing of traffic as whole"
