ting in the trial of Francis Hard
ing, accused of a criminal assault,
admitted in court yesterday that
they had read newspaper stories
which related the defendants past
criminal record. Justice Jesse c.
Adkins declared a mistrial.
Harding's record was related
in connection with a stroy con-
corning the arrest of Lorenzo Del
Re, 1900 block Kenyon st. N. w.,
father of the girl, who came to
court yesterday armed with a
pistol. The stories stated Hard
ing was convicted of a joy-riding
charge and also an attempted
criminal assault in a local hotel.
Bertrand Emerson, jr., defense
counsel, asked for the mistrial
declaration on the ground his
clients rights were prejudiced as
result of the publication of
his record, which was not in evil
dence in the current trial.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

. aris-UP)-The Beaux Arts Ball at St. Moritz was pretty formal affair. The Regency period was expressed in decors of the Em- bassy; formal materials and lines were seen in the gowns of the eie- gantes present. Satin predominated and striped fabrics, satin and crepe combinations and satin and lame proved popular.
 As for colora, pale yellow, chalk white, pink and turquoise were the favorites among the light shades, green took honors for the darker tones.
 And in Paris folks are just of the "dress season" when for the smarter restaurants, hotels and private galas.
 The American movies have normal dressing here, for a First Night" film rowd at an American theatcr showing is first night theatrical perform ance with the play and cast of the highest possible order.

lead from the suit that is apt to do the least harm?
 Lochridge made q nice opening of the four of clubs, which was won by West with the ace. The deuce of clubs was returned, North wining the trick with the queen.
 He now led a small diamond, finessed the queen and West won with the king.
 this point? Let me give you Rau's s reasoning: North has won one trick. the queen of clubs. I know that he also has the king of clubs, which makes two tricks. The dia- mond suit Is solid, which is three more, and four heart tricks make nine in all. Therefore, if I return club there Is no way to defeat the contract.
 My next thought was to lead a heart and block the h an d. but l saw then that by K-10 of spades position was bad. knew the only chance that we had to defeat this contract was to find my partner with the ace and jack of spades"
 So he played the king of spades and then led q heart, throwing the lead in the dummy. and the declarer was helpless. All he could do was to cash four heart tricks and thre diamonds, and then he had to lead a spade into Easts ace jack, losing the con tract by one trick.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League
Shows Expert Defense Bridge Champion Reveals Reason ing That Prevents Decarer From Making
 His Contract.
Solution to Previous Contract Problem

This is the third of six unusual hands played by the national open pair champions, Johnny Rau and Charles Lochridge. It will show you how good these two are at defensive play.
 You may wonder why a dia- mond is bid in preference to a heart. This reverse bidding will permit you to show your partner good hand, as well as the dis tribution.
 If your partner bids two clubs or one no trump, you bid two hearts. Your partner knows that you cannot bid two hearts unless you have very good hand, be- cause, if he doesn't like hearts and does like diamonds. you are forcing him to bid three dia- monds. You cannot do this un- less you are prepared to play the hand at this contract. That is why North is justified in going to two no trump over the two heart bid.
 The Play
 On this hand Lochridge sat East and Rau West. Just word to you people who have been

I RECEIVED a peculiar letter in

Against good players there gen.

a good player bid seven with the

A difficult situation for the de-

Answer-A satisfactory physical
relationship is not to be despised
Often it is the only thing which
holds a married pair together
after all other interest in each
other has fed. You even see di-
vorced couples creeping back to-
gether for a night when they no
longer can stand living in the
same house together. Such is the
power Of a habit which has given
pleasure in the past. Instead of
being the first thing to go, as is
unanimously supposed, it is often
the last.
I know what you mean. Most
women crave a husband so en-
dowed with sympathetic magma
ton that he enters into all her in
terestS with pleasure. They want
more than a physical mate
some one to go along with who
can share all of their interests
instead of just one.
You are right in assuming that
