Style Chats

Paris, UP)-ButtonS are almost as important as the lines of clothes these days, and they appear on gar- ments where they have never been before: studded closely on the waist so that the material underneath cannot be seen; strung on eight inch wide belts extending to the hips; sewn on hefns gleaming with their glitter.
 Buttons in the shapes of an- chors, fishhooks, stockinged ski shoes, tennis balls and crossed golf sticks trim sports clothes. Two miniature caddies trim the pockets of three-piece golf suit. Six fig ures in climbing position stretch from the waist to the neck of a heavy wool sweater designed by Jean Farrell.
 For travelling wear, the buttons the especially imaginative. Tiny black faces topped with jeweled turbans cross the yoke of a silk sports frock worn under fur coat Eskimos in hoods, senoritas in mantillas, Hawaiians with leis deco rate costumes for boat wear. Tiny satchels, even multi-colored trains and autos suggest trips.
 Nature has inspired the most out standing models of the day with the result that the gowns at Schiapa- relli, Maggy Rouff and Molyneux are full of buttons in the shapes of flowers, birds and animals Among the smartest are clusters of fruits, daisies, rosebuds, mushrooms, fat little birds, snails, spiders and Holsters.
 On the throat of sophisticated, high-neck, low-back evening gown, called Monte Carlo" is a single large roulette wheel button. A stun ming bolero made of green emerald buttons tpos a darker green chif- ion skirt Glowing rhinestone and ruby loops trim a navy-blue dance frock, while the belt of an opera gown is studded with pearl buttons.

and East played the king, hoping his partners lead has been from A J 10. South permitted the king of hearts to hold the first trick, but had to win the second round with his queen.
 Fearing that the spade suit would not furnish more than four tricks, South took the precaution of knocking out the ace of dia- monds before he tackled the spades. West continued the hearts, South winning with his ace.
 Declarer now caShed the ace of spades and took the spade finesse. Although this lost to EaSt's queen, the rest of the spades furnished enough tricks for declarer'S game West could not regain the lead to run his established hearts.
 Had South taken the spade finesse before knocking out the ace of diamonds, East would have still possessed a heart with which to establish his partners suit South, would not be able to take the nine tricks without knocking out the ace of diamonds.

Since distribution and high card strength cannot vary much, the opening bidders partner can either bid or pass with reasonable certainty of the outcome.
 Since he knows that the open ing bidders hand is quite unsuit- ed to play at trump suit, the responder often suppresses a five card major suit, preferring instead to raise in no trump. Typical of no trump bidding in the modern CulbertSon System is today's hand.
