Style Chats
BY AUDREY AMES

Paris, (UP)-What every smart woman knows that dress is only as lovely as its material is now the pre-fall subject of all fashion conversation.
 Material manufacturers, Rodier, Sadea, Lesur, Bianchini, Terrier and all the others, have spent the spring and summer perfectly new wraps and weaves to satisfy the almost unsuitable appetite of Paris dress makers for new materials.
 The stripe, more or less regu- lar in form, seems to have been the motivation for most of the fall and winter reliefs, prints and weaves. Stripes and bands meet your eye on whatever shelf you look. Ribbed woolens, petershams, rich ottoman's prints-even lace-all de- rive some benefit from the stripe.
 Winter wools simulate velvet in their softness and suppleness Their weaves are so close that they may sometimes be little hard to wear. There will be lots of plaids-not too blatant-and tweeds with brilliant threads weaving through a fairly conservative back ground.
 Every day the winter horizon looks brighter, the appearance of winter materials substantiates the prophecy that black will be replaced to a great extent by exotic new shades; slate blue, "violine," rich lark reds. Novel color combinations always dear to Parisians' hearts, will see rust hobnobbing with gray; cornflower yellows popping up Bur gundy ensembles; green mixing autumnally with brown.
 Jerseys, in wool, cotton and rayon mixtures, will not only re- tain the popularity they've merited during the past season, but they will probably gain more favor because their advocates are now printing the jersey surfaces and interweav- ing stripes and reliefs of all sorts.

caution of conserving trump strength was rewarded when West failed to follow on the third round of trumps. However, Smith had nc losers left and fulfilled his con- tract.
 Those who tried for a no trump game failed, as the bidding induced a club opening, even with North as declared, while with South the declarer it was practically inevitable that West would open his fice-card suit. With a suit contract, some players, unwilling to give up a trick they could win, trusted to a good irg could be gained, as heart trump break, not realizing that nothing could be gained, as heart must be lost in any case.
