Winning the first trick in dummy with the Ace, South immediately ruffed a small heart with the nine of diamonds, carefully saving the diamond seven for future entry to dummy. Next a diamond was led, South playing the turn and overtaking in dummy with the eight. Another heart was ruffed, this time with the Queen of diamonds. Then the ten of diamonds was led, and dummy’s Jack overtook it. This put dummy in the lead to play a fourth round of hearts. South ruffed, and

South took the spade King and led to the spade Ace. On the Queen of hearts, now established, he discarded his little club. The contract could not be lost. A club lead from dummy allowed South to play the nine.

In Dordogne, the most ancient vestiges of man have been found; in Brittany, the finest array of megalithic monuments; in Provence, survive the most charming Roman cities. In Chartres, Rheims, Amiens and Rouen, Gothic architects built their most beautiful cathedrals.

That church is the one in which Joan of Arc had her king crowned; that dairy, the one where Marie-Antoinette used to play the milkmaid; that flight of steps, the one on which Napoléon bade farewell to his guards; that cross-road, the one where the Armistice, which put an end to the greatest war in history, was signed.

A la base même de la tenue masculine il faut placer le veston et surtout le veston croisé. Pour être dans le ton celui-ci doit avoir le revers supérieur allongé de manière à grandir le buste. Les épaules sont à leur place, la taille légèrement dessinée et six boutons garnissent la poitrine, le dernier seul
dessinée et six boutons garnissent la poitrine, le dernier seul fermant le veston. En dehors de cette tenue classique, pour les réunions élégantes, courses, garden-party, on adopte la jaquette dont les longues basques serrées vers la base viennent effleurer le milieu du mollet. Elle s'accompagne d'un pantalon de fantaisie à rayures. Mais c’est dans le sport surtout que les hommes peuvent se risquer à des excentricités vestimentaires. Dans ce cas-là, on oppose les tonalités et les tissus. Par exemple voici des vestons de tweed bleu de mer, ou à gros damiers bicolores ou à fins pieds de poules ou tout
damiers bicolores ou à fins pieds de poules ou tout unis dans des couleurs briques, prunes ou ardoises avec lesquels on porte à son gré des pantalons de peigné discrètement rayé, zébré de diagonales, divisé en fins carrelages et même pour le plein été tout blancs et d'une matité parfaite. Le chic consiste dans l'association ingénieuse des deux couleurs et des deux étoffes. Ces vêtements font des ensembles agréables avec les chemises d’été en toile de lin aux tonalités pastels et comportant soit des petits dessins soit de gros coton; leurs cols tenant sont bas et allongent leurs pointes très
leurs cols tenant sont bas et allongent leurs pointes très largement écartées. Les cravates sont de couleur hardie et n'ont pour tout ornement que de minuscules figures géométriques ou d'importantes rayures multicolores. Les hommes profitent de cette liberté que leur donne le sport pour se servir d’écharpes en laine très fin, elles aussi audacieuses dans leurs nuances, comme les pochettes qui complètent le tout. C’est une vraie chanson des couleurs, un appel au plein air et au soleil. MISCELLANÉE FASHIONS Although less complicated than feminine attire, masculine clothes also imply certain obligations of elegance. Obviously, the "basis" of male garments
certain obligations of elegance. Obviously, the "basis" of male garments is the coat, and chiefly the double-breasted coat. To be in tune with present day tendencies, the lapel of the latter must be lengthened in such a manner as to increase the bust. The shoulders are in their place, the waist slightly indicated, while six buttons decorate the coat, only the last one, however, being used. In addition to this classical attire, for elegant receptions, garden parties, the races, the long-tailed coat is still in vogue. The "tails" descend halfway between the knee and the foot. Striped trousers remain the
between the knee and the foot. Striped trousers remain the mode. However, when it comes to sports attire, male fashions risk the charge of eccentricity. Here both colors and fabrics are in contrast. For example, there are coats in sea-blue tweed, or in checkerboard design of two colors. Colors range from brick-red to prune-green and slate-gray. Frequently, the trousers are of a different color, sometimes striped, sometimes in diagonals and cross-barred patterns. In addition, trousers may be completely white for hot summer days. Briefly, present-day chic consists of associating two colors and two fabrics. These garments form delightful ensembles with
colors and two fabrics. These garments form delightful ensembles with summer shirts in pastel-shaded linens; the designs may be minute or giant squares. Collars are low, their extremities being widely separated. Neckties are in daring colors; their sole ornaments are tiny geometric designs or multicolored stripes. Men take advantage of the liberty, conferred by open-air sports, to wear scarves in finely-woven wool. They are often audacious in their nuances, where-in they resemble the pocket handkerchiefs which accompany them. Briefly, masculine fashions of the moment form a chant of color, a vibrant appeal to the Sun and the Open Air. Assemblée

CRESE, 7, RUE LOGELBACH, 7, PARIS (Parc Monceau) Today, shoes are indeed important; and often the lady of fashion is judged by her footwear. Present-day elegance has a liking for tips which are slightly square, as well as the heel. Models in unpolished daim (deer leather) can be decorated with patent leather, with a definite sparkle. The color of
with patent leather, with a definite sparkle. The color of your handbag should coincide with that of your shoes; and there should be a resemblance in the design of the two. Initials can also be worn. It is impossible to exaggerate the role played by gloves and shoes in feminine coquetry of today. The former are almost as important as the latter. They should be chosen with care, with regard to the gown or tailleur which is worn. Many chic models are presented for 1936, differing chiefly in decoration. Some are "buttoned" with genuine chains of leather. Others achieve distinction
are "buttoned" with genuine chains of leather. Others achieve distinction in their elegant buttons. Almost any color, they generally harmonize with that of the scarf or the blouse. FASHION has a liking for huge bracelets, marked by a large-scale "architecture." Gold, in two shades, is used, giving two distinct surface effects. Here and there, bands of precious metal are accentuated with diamonds or rubies; this, however, is the exception. The diamond diadem still remains the favorite headdress for evening wear but, alas, this is something that everybody cannot afford. Often, it is replaced by bouquets of flowers. WILL the fan
it is replaced by bouquets of flowers. WILL the fan return to popularity? Certainly, the tendency in evening fashions, which go back to the Directory for their inspiration, might make us believe so. We have remarked in various couture shops attractive blonde- shaded models, evoking visions of golden wheat. Also, tiny heart-shaped models, decorated with Cupids and flowers. Ostrich-feather fans are to be noted in gala soirees. To equip your boudoir table with the latest beauty products, liquid and solid, is a luxury which no stylish woman will be able to decline. This blue vaporizer seems to be a bit
to decline. This blue vaporizer seems to be a bit of sky as it gives off voluptuous perfumes. The within its box of black enamel is ready to help milady "re-make her beauty." When you leave home, moisten your handkerchief with this golden liquor which, as you pass, will leave behind you a furrow of delightful odors. Above all, never forget the delicate bouquet of flowers within the cornaline vase. It is to be found in every boudoir. FEMININE fashion, as regards nether garments, reaches a refinement which our grandmothers would certainly have envied. First of all, and quite logically,
would certainly have envied. First of all, and quite logically, is their lightness. Chemises are made of transparent crepe, in different nuances, and are embroidered above and below with the finest lacework. Further, the stockings seem to have been woven by fairies; sometimes, because of their coloring, they seem to be invisible. Summer gowns, such as this one, are formed from clouds of mousseline, piqued with stars. TO travel is an art, a fact which the maroquinier—the morocco leather manufacturer—has understood completely, since he provides a maximum of utility in a minimum of volume in the offerings he has prepared
a minimum of volume in the offerings he has prepared for the voyagers of 1936. In this diminutive trunk, not an inch of space has been lost. All the bottles, with their various beauty products, snuggle closely together, near the nail file, etc. There are tiny drawers for jewels. Behind it is a pliant, flexible bag for linens, woollens, and toilet accessories. It includes also a tiny pocket for letterheads and envelopes. THE sad black umbrella has disappeared; it has been replaced by a medley of colors. Scottish plaids have annexed the umbrellas; so has the checkerboard. Other designs as
