FAMOUS FABLES
WARDROBE: Portrait painter
BY E. F. EDGAR

WARDROBE: Portrait painter
John Singer Sargent hated to
be burdened with excess bag
gage when travelling. Shortly
before he was to sail for Eng
land one time. he was staying
in a swank Boston hotel. He
had been in the United States
for some months and had accu-
mulated an extensive wardrobe.
He had no intention of taking
the clothes with him. but how
was he to get rid Of them with
out creating comment?
Across the street from the
hotel were the ruins Of O build
ing. Every day, Sargent gath
cred his soiled clothes and made
a bundle of them.
In the middle of the night,
he would sneak out the side
entrance Of the hotel. dash
across the street and deposit
the bundle on the heap OF
rubble.
BY the time he was ready tC
sail, his wardrobe had been re-
duced to the clothes on his back

How do you distinguish a take
out double from a penalty dou-
BILE? Let's look into the situa-
ton in the next few columns
and see what makes the takeout
double tick-or backfire, as the
case may be.
Here are the principal rea-
sons why the takeout double and
the responses thereto are often
difficult to handle. First. the
simple fact that you have to
double for a takeout means your
opponents have got the Jump on
you by opening the bidding.
They have already IAN
nounced" a possible line of de-
Tense to be used if your side
plays the hand. And. having ex-
changed some information at the
start, they are in a position
to crowd the bidding so you may
never find your right spot.
In today's hand, for example,
Mr.. Masters had to lose a dia-
mond and three spades for down
one, while 10 tricks were readily
available at a contract of four
hearts.
Nobody made any bidding err
rors and yet hearts were not
even mentioned. There wasn't
time. Of course, four hearts
might not have been reached
with Mr.. Abel as the opening
bidder, although it would have
been more likely that way.
A good player likes to make
each bid tell something about
two features of his hand-how
much high-card strength he
holds and where that strength is.
In today's deal Mr.. Abel would
like to have said. Il have a good
hand, including a five-card heart
suit, but unfortunately that
wouldn't have been legal. A
takeout double says only that
the doubler has good hand.
1t doesn't tell what his best
suit is.
And yet the advantages of the
takeout double far outweigh its
disadvantages. In the next few
days I want to suggest ways to
use it for your maximum profit.
