Paris Styles
BY MARY FENTRESs

Paris CUP)-Linen again WILL pc
one of the most important mate
rails for spring and summer ward
robes. The Moygashel Irish linens,
which are sold to all Of the impor-
tant dress houses In Paris, will be
made up this year in everything
from simulated tweeds for hot
weather suits to sheer and transpar-
ent prints for evening wear.
Scotch tartans and plaids, which
had an unusual run of popularity
this winter, are now made up, &C
cording to authentic clan designs, IN
lightweight linens for spring and
summer wear. The plaids emphasize
tones of blue, mauve and dull rose,
which, everyone says, will be the
most popular shades for spring.
Two type colors will be popular
for spring-the very bright, sharp
clear shades and the soft, dusty
"off shades" which look like deep
ened pastcls. Five and sin OF the
soft shades are combined In the new
prints, which are in large-patterned,
formal designs. Among the anus
ing patterns which will be shown
this season in Moygashel linens Will
be tiny scrolls splashed evenly about
a contrasting background, sentry
boxes reminiscent of English corona
lions, youthful design Of child
ish game, "Tit-Tat-Toe," tiny, for
NAL pine trees in a set and conven-
tional pattern as well as group OF
amusing crocodiles printed IN color
ON a light background.
Plaids and checks in two-color
contrasts will be smart, also stripe
materials. The sheer linens are as
fine as a wolfe and yet are not easily
crushed while the coarse Weaves,
which are heavier, are excellent Tor
sports.

if North can produce a heart
stopper.
So far as this Is concerned, both
roads lead to game. but with
Souths hand 1t would be quite
easy for the holder to become ex-
cited and vision possible slam,
If he placed many high cards In
his partners hand on the bidding.
For myself, I must admit that
I prefer the more generally fol-
lowed custom Of heart response,
but at the same time admire the
precision of the Churchill bidding,
which at once dismissed the pos
sibility of greater things than game,
with South's strong holdings.
So far as the play Is concerned,
the opening lead gave North an adj
ditional trick, but no play could
have prevented him from taking at
least nine, as South held that
number in top cards.
