 When the declarer plans to make large share of his tricks by cross ruff1ng, 1t is a fundamental prin- ciple of play that high cards in side suits should be cashed first, to pre- vent an opponent from discarding losers in such suits while the cross ruff is in progress.
 By adhering to this principle, Dr. Richard H. Ecker, Jr., of New York, former holder of the national masters. . individual championship, brought home contract where others failed.
 Though he held four trumps, North, with his bad distribution, was not strong enough to give a free raise; that is, an immediate raise over an intervening overcall. When Dr. Ecker (South) doubled, however, North's hand was suffi- ciently strong to do something other than sign of with two-spade bid
 Ecker ruffed the second heart lead and entered dummy with the diamond king. He returned a club. West won, and seeling the possi- bilities of cross-ruff, returned a small trump. South won with the eight and two high clubs were cash ed, followed by the diamond ace, the losing diamond in dummy hav- ing been discarded on club.
 Now another diamond was led West ruffed with the king and re- turned his last trump, but dummy's two trumps took care of the losing diamonds and club in declarer's hand.
 Others who drew trumps went down. When the trump finesse lost,

gives her work such significance.
She does not paint figures as still
life, but her still-life paintings show
the same freedom of brush work
and sensitiveness to beauty as do
they. What could be lovelier than
her "Petunias Against Gold" and
her white vase Of white "Peonies?"
It is the way that she does 1.-THE
actual placing of paint on canvas
before she has lost the pregnancy
Of impression which fascinates and
delights.
Among the portraits that she
shows, that of the Right Rev. Sam
uel G. Babcock, is perhaps the most
vital; direct in treatment and well
studied, although many will prob
ably be particularly drawn to that
of young woman in silken gown
entitled "Dorothea."
1t is Miss Pearson's habit to spend
her summers on Cape Ann, and two
of the paintings included in this cur
rent exhibition are Rockport scenes
painted out-of- doors in holiday
spirit - the one Seaside Picnic"
the other "Rockport Piazza" both
representing members of the same
family and friends, with Rockport
harbor as background. High in key,
these are both we'll rendered, but
they pale in the company of her in
teriors, perhaps because of limit in
gamut. Intimately connected with

were William James, Henry Hunt
Clark and Frederick Bosley, all
competent painters, but her work
does not carry the stamp Of any of
them nor for that matter of the
so-called Boston school," with
which she is today to be reckoned.
It Is distinctly individual, sound,
sensitive, at times very brilliant and
always completely free of all affec-
tation. She is at her best in her
paintings of interiors with figures,
but her flower and still-life studies
are no less clever, and in portrait =
ure she occasionally makes high
score, though less often.
Obviously 1t is the interiors with
figures In this exhibition which
make 1t outstanding Rarely has
better painting of this sort been
done in this country and certainly
not within the recollection of the
present generation. Take, for ex-
ample, one Of the larger of her
canvasses entitled Conversation
Piece"-a picture of two ladies in
old-fashioned gowns having tea at
q little tilt-top, mahogany table be-
fore a New England drawing room
flreplace-the one pouring the tea
standing, the guest seated. It is
an excellent composition, well bal
anced and arranged. The figures
take their place, not as against
q background, but in a room in
