Cleaning oak floors, wisely selected
in styles which harmonic with the
furnishings, add distinctive quality
of natural beauty which accentuates
the charm of these rooms Random
width plank floors, like that in the
upper left, are again in vogue, being
especially appropriate for ranch-type
homes, rooms in the early American
motif or in any room where an at
mosphere of quiet informality is de-
sired. The strip type of oak flooring
is strikingly attractive either in uni
form widths, as shown at left, or in
random widths. In its various grades
and color variations it blends har-
'moniously with almost any surround
ingS, hence is most widely used. More
elaborate in design is the block style
of flooring (above), form of parquet
or pattern flooring. 1t produces floor
of exquisite beauty and is a popular
choice for the more formally and ex-
penSively furnished homes.

During the National champ

made plans to attend the ALL
Western Bridge Championships
at the Del Coronado Hotel. Coro-
nado, Calf, Nov. 7 to II inclu-
sive. D would like to give the
delegation a word of advice. The
Pacific coast players bid their
hands a little differently than we
do in the east. They rely perhaps
too much on conventional or sys-
TEN bidding, but they are ex-
pert when it comes to the play
of the cards. Last year I had
the good fortune to win the open
pair championship at Coronado
With Clarence A. Strollse, Jr.. Of
Altadena, Calf, and I hope to
be on hand to defend with him
this year.
Strouse gave today's hand a
nice play. East put up the king
of spades on the opening lead,
and most of the South players
naturally won the trick with the
ace. Then they took two rounds
of trumps, led the queen Of clubs
and took the finesse. East won
and came back with a spade,
which West won. A diamond was
returned and the contract was
set.

first spade trick. He let East
hold his king. East came back
with a spade and Strouse won;
then he took two rounds of
trumps followed by the club
finesse. But now there was no
play that East could make that
would defeat the contract, be-
cause he could not get West in
to lead through the diamond suit.
He returned a club, hoping that
South would not be able to get
rid of two losing diamonds; but
he might as well have oashed
the ace Of diamonds, as that was
the only other trick that East
and West made.
