Conquering Contract
BY r. HAL SIMS.

without counting the number Of tricks
his method Of play will produce. A
cross-ruff on the hand will only pro-
duce twelve tricks. The treasurer
rarely has enough grasp on the cards
to make dummy the master hand.
The president, however, played the
hand in o mastery manner by running
out dummy's losing cards. He led the
ace and queen Of spades from his own
hand. Then he played the ace OF
hearts and another heart, trumpng
in dummy with the nine Of spades.
Another club was trumped IN South's
hand. Dummy was re-entered with
a diamond. Mr.. South led the last
club from dummy and trumped it with
his last trump.
The rest of the hand was simple
The lead of the ten of diamonds-up
with the king In dummy. The king
Of spades drew East's last trump. and
the ace of diamonds drew Vests last
diamond. The two long diamonds in
dummy were the twelfth and thir-
teenth tricks.
Congratulations, Mr.. Southl An
other meeting will be held shortly
We shall all be interested to see
what you have to give us in the way
of interesting plays.

what mere underling could pos

for the matronly looking housewife
pictured in today's sketch? Here, in
deed, is a dress to flatter the larger
woman. The needs Of her figure, and
also her calling, have been admirably
studied with the result that the sleeves
are cut like Summer ones, and an
added amount of fullness is gathered
into the yoke In the back.

The waistline and skirt length show
very little change. Hips remain
smooth, end fullness at the bottom is
achieved through moderate flares.
Front decorations are ubiquitous

a contrasting tie ingeniously arranged
to give a knowing air to the termina-
ton of the yoke. The idea is an
extremely clever one, arrived at in
the simplest manner possible.
Washable fabrics in cotton or silk
are suitable for this design. One OF
the new Fall color schemes is to be
preferred to those Of the past Sum-

Gas Good as a Play"
THE idioms in the English lexicon
that are of kingly origin can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
This is not disparagement Of the
originality Of royalty. 1t Is simply a
strange fact that few of the world S
sovereigns have ever had the happy
knack Of coming a turn of language
that stuck and became warp and woof
Of the tongue of the people.
Among these felicitous expressions
is "As good as play" whose mean
ing is known to all.
1t Is reputed to have been first ut
tered by King Charles II of England
during his attendance at Parliament,
and while he was listening to a de-
bate on the divorce bill of Lord Ross,
which he found "As good as a play"

come for clover. I know it. I told
him that I came over here yesterday
morning and now he Is waiting there
for me to come this morning. Why?"
He remembered Reddy's disappoint-
ment each time he, Wigglenose, had
refused to 60 with him for that
clover. He remembered how once or
twice Reddys voice had sounded like
a snarl. He remembered how Reddy
had tried to find out what time he
was planning his next visit to the
clover. He remembered that queer,
uncomfortable feeling he always had
when Reddy grinned and showed all
his long, sharp teeth.
Just then Reddy softly stepped out
of the bushes, hastily looked all
around, stole forward a few feet and
pounced on something in the grass.
He lifted his head and in his mouth
was Meadow Mouse Then he hur-
riedly returned to his hiding place in
the bushes.
80 that's it," exclaimed Wiggle-
nose under his breath. Now I know
what he eats. 1t is just my good
fortune that it wasn't me instead of
that Mouse over there. Now I know
why he was so anxious to have me
go with him. Now I know why I
always had that queer, uncomfort-
able feeling every time he grinned
and showed those long, sharp teeth.
He isn't a friend at all. He has Just
been pretending to be. Mother was
right about him after all and now
I know him for what he is, one of
my most dangerous enemies. Oh,
dear! I did like him a lot and he
is so handsome. Now I can't trust
any one. wonder II there is any
thing worse than finding out that a
friend is false"
Wigglenose was no longer sleepy.
He was very wide awake, indeed. He
kept his eyes fixed on the place where
Reddy had disappeared with that
Mouse. Once in a great while the
leaves would move a little. so he knew
that Re6dy was still there. Jolly
round, bright Mr.. Sun crept higher
and higher In the blue, blue sky
Wigglenose remembered that II was
Just about this time the morning
before when he had been eating In
that clover patch. The thought OF
what might have happened, what
probably would have happened, had
Reddy been hiding in those bushes
then, made him shiver.

OPINIONS SOUGHT
ON PARKING BAN
M. and M. Association Sends Out
QUESTIONABLE Concerning
F Street. !

In an effort to obtain a cross-section
of the opinion on the recent move of
the Police Department banning park
ing on F street between Seventh and
Fifteenth streets on Saturday after
moons, the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association has begun circu-
lating a QUESTIONABLE among mer-
chants affected on that and adjacent
thoroughfares.
On the basis of the answers received
the association will transmit its rec
concentrations to traffic authorities
after study by its Traffic Committee,
of which Charles H. Frame is chair
man.
Parking restrictions are looked upon
by the merchants as having an impor-
tant bearing on retail business. The
retailers are being asked in the ques-
tionnaire if the elimination of park
ing last Saturday had any effect on
their business.
Other questions asked include: "Are
you in favor of eliminating parking
on F street on Saturday afternoon?":
Are you in favor of elimination of
parking on F street at any time?";;
Are you in favor of one-hour park
ing?"; would the active enforce
ment Of one-hour parking be the best
solution to the parking problem?"
