 In today's hand, for example, North opened the deuce of hearts against the four-spade contract. South wanted to be fancy, so he didn't win the trick with the king. which would tell his partner that he may also hold the ace. South won with the ace, deliberately in- dicating that he did not have the king. North naturally then placed the king of hearts in the West hand.
 It would not have been so bad if South had continued with a heart, but no-he led the jack of spades. East won and returned the deuce of diamonds, the jack was finessed and North won with the queen.
 North could see that declarer was going to make three diamond tricks. He had credited West with the king of hearts because Of south's bad play. Remembering eouth's opening bid. North be- lieved that, not holding the king

 Right in the midst q tho furor over pompadours, Hollywood presents a brand new evening hair style for fall.
 Pretty Paulette Goddard was the first to wear it, but to Dolores del Rio goes credit for its existence. Seems that Miss del Rio told Miss Goodard how the senoritas of Durango, Mexico, wove bright rib- bons in their hair at fiesta time. And then Miss Goddard and her favorite studio hairdresser, Lac vaughn Speer, decided that color full yarns would be more practical than ribbons.
 IT GOES WITH
 LONGER COIFFURES
 The hair-do lends itself to long hair and to shoulder-length bobs. Here are hairdresSer Speer's direc- | tions:
 First, make a center part from forhead to base of skull. The hair on each side of the part then is combed from back to front and swept upward.
 Leaving several inches of yarn free at the top, start braiding close to the scalp, using two sections of wool to one of hair. (For the illustrations shown here, half a dozen pastel shades of yarns about afghan weight were used. Length of the yarn depends on the hair length and how much crown preferred. Narrow white satin rib- bon or fine strips of chiffon may be used in place of yarn). USE WAVE LOTION
 TO HOLD STRAGGLERS Continue braiding with only the wool for six inches after the hair ends. This much is needed to cover short back hairs. Completed, the two braids should stick up in . horn on each side of the head.
 Now turn the horns down, draw ing them above and behind the ears. Criss-cross the yarnbands at the back of the neck and fasten them fiat with hairpins.
 The loose, foot-long strands of yarn at the top of the head are then twisted into a rope and pinned into a fiat band or coronet. Finish by brushing the short temple hairs up and back, using a wave solution to make the hairline clean and dis tinct.
