 New rk.-The day of the Trip pery-ish bedroom is done. The mod ern home-maker who knows her business spends her money, not upon bric-a-bric to clutter up room that ought, above all else to be restfui. but upon mattresses with closely-woven springs and webbing that will stand up under long usage, convenient bedside tables, special chests for stockings and lingerie. proper lighting fix lures and other items to make ex- istence more comfortable.
 If she must economize, she saves on perishables-buys a cheaper wall paper on curtain material. both of which she will find in charming design.
 And If this wise home maker will further heed the advice of Agnes Foster Wright, editor of "So You're Going to be Married dec- orator and leading authority on Ohax1%e.' ,zA ture, she will learn as soon as pos sibIe that on of the first principles of home decoration is elemination.
 Mrs. Wright admits that to practice what she breaches often reduces her to tears for both she and her husband, I Richardson Wright, also a well-known editor, have the collecting habit. They have, travelled great deAl and everywhere they go. they see sou veniers which they cannot bear to pass up. And so each journey pro- duces new objects of sentimental or other interest for the home.
 Sets Aside Day for Rite
 "But every so often I ruthless ly decree day for getting rid of ou oded household goods" Mrs Wright declares. '.In my case, this unfortunately merely means making room for the next pur- chases. Still it is good habit to form.''
 Mrs Wright, a native Boston ian. had meant to be a sculptor and stumbled upon decorating and designing almost by accident when she enrolled. upn the advice of friends. in an art school. Instant ly she knew that she had found her work-even the most tire some details fascinated and ab- sJrbed her.
 After her student days and an apprenticeship with an establish ed firm, she opened a shop of her own and soon numbered among her customers other decorators who felt that she had special flair for fabric and color. Her in- terest in textiles grew until out of 1t came the iden for the setting un of tiny. self-service chintz shops all over the country.
 'I had a sleepless night" she explains. and always get a good idea out of a sleepless night. had been experimenting, too, with the application of linen designs to cotton percale. You see. linen for draperies or furniture covering always had to be lined, but it oc- cured to me that percale or chintz would not have to be lined,' and yet migth carry similar designs"

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-With the lovely blonde Princess Marina of Greece who may one day be Queen of Great Britain--turning the town fairly upside down with excitement for just being here and again for scampering around buying clothes and hats and things. it's hard to settle back and wait until about October 20 for her to come back from Britain and buckle down on designs for her wedding gown.
 Captain Molyneux himself has admitted that he is no end thrilled over the privilege of making clothes for such a gor- geous creature. He is honored and happy and everything he ought to be, but he has to work like a ditch digger to get every thing done. He is going to make the things for all the wedding at- tendants. a flock of things for the ride-elect's mother, the Grand Duchess Helen, and row upon row of frocks for the two sister prin- cesses--Olga and Elizabeth.
 By tricking good friend at Molyneux's into talking too much we got to see two of the dresses the princess took to Scotland with her. One is rich moss green in lightweight wool and the other Is a tapestry brown In the same wool. Both have coats of e-quarter length and she wil wear these where she is presented to her fu- ture royal mother and father-in- iaw. the queen and king of Eng land. The princess doesn't seem to favor slit skirts any too much despite their present vogue for neither of these sport frocks. had a slit anywhere. Pretty straight and narrow they were. but no siits.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

There is lot more interest in the things that actually occur at the table than the playing of so called bullet-proof hands. Many times, after a hand is played and spread out on the table. you will see several things that might have been done differently. but the real fun in bridge lies in making the most of the opportunities that pre- sent themselves.
 In today's hand, the interesting fact is that, as you watch the drop of the various cards, siX-ood can be made.
 I believe Vests opening lead of the deuce of hearts to be bad. Of course, he knew that South was marked with a four-card heart suit but for the same reason he knew that South had five clubs.
 If he had attacked with the club suit, his partner might have made ruff. However. I am giving you the hand as it actually came up and with the opportunities that were provided.

 West returned the three of spades, which was won in dummy with the king, declarer discardins the jack of diamonds. A small club was played from dummy. East played the king and the declarer won the trick with the ace.
 The drop of the king marked East with singleton club.
 Declarer next played small heart and finessed dummy's nine As East had played the ten on the first trick. West was marked with the queen of hearts.
 The king of hearts to the next trick. A small diamond was won by the. declarer with the king, the acts of hearts was cashed, and now of course, both of declarer's clubs were good.
 A lot of breaks to expect from one hand to make six odd-never- theless, they were there to the ob- serving declarer, after the favora- ble opening.
