WOMAN’S PAGE. Nightgown Trimmed With Lace BY MARY One of the freak fashions of a col- Jection of newly imported fine lingerie was a nightgown lavishly trimmed wif lace, cut fairly short at the front and graduated off into a train at the back. ‘Then there are nightgowns made with the deep decolletage at the back follow- ing the line of so many of the evening gowns and swimming suits. Lace is used lavishly on much of the | hab! GOWNS, THIS IMPORTED MODEL | BY WAY OF CONTRAST TO THE NEW. VERY SHORT NIGHT- IS MADE WITH A DIPPING BACK HEM.

Quite often there is very much more lace than anything else, and the women who goes in search of new types of strictly tailored lingerie is bound to meet with discouragement. One interesting type of underthing that is still quite laceless is the so-called “track-pants,” much in favor with the younger women. The name describes the cut and finish—but they are made in delicately tinted crepe de chine. Crepe de chine and other silk ma- terials have become so firmly establish- ed as the acceptable material for lingerie that it would take considerable | courage for any lingerie maker even to display. garments made from linen or fine cotton. Yet linen and cotton have already assumed importance for sports and daytime wear and there is every reason to believe that gingham and linen will compete with crepe de chine and other silk materials for sports and resort frocks throughout the Spring and Summer. A generation or so ago a woman would have worn her silk frock with cotton things beneath; now she. will wear cotton or linen frocks.

FORTESCUE, The offensive play of the hands in contract bridge is the same as in auc- tion bridge, with the one exception— in contract bridge you play first for the contract, then for additional tricks. In auction bridge you play for game, regardless of the contract. The defensive play of the hands varies Hkewise in this one point. Defensively in contract you are playing to defeat the contract, in auction to defeat a possible game. In every other respect, once the bidding is over, the play of the cards is the same. In this last of my series of contract lessons I am going to stress some points of play. Those of us who have been playing bridge for years were brought up on the old story of the babies who were walking barefoot on the streets of London because their mothers didn’t lead trumps. Recent study of the game tends to show that this old admonition, *“lead trumps at once,’ is not infallible. I had the opportunity to hear Mr. ‘Work last week when he spoke here. He said: “If a table of bridge were being played at the far corner of a room—so distant that I could not see a card held nor hear a bid made—still in a very few minutes I could tell whether those were four good players or four poor players. If after dummy were spread on the table, the declarer, without a moment’s pause, played a card_ from dummy—that is a poor player. If the declarer, after the dummy cards go down, stop, look and plan—that is a good player.” Plan your play. There lies the secret | of good bridge. After the opening lead and the 26 cards of the two combined hands are before you, decide how you | will play those 26 cards. First let us say the contract is no trumps. Count your winning tricks. Your winners are only those which are sure winners be- fore you play your stopper or stoppers in the opponent’s long suit. If your sure winners are short of your con- tract, then take any reasonable chance | to bring your winners up to the re- quired number. The first and most usual probability lies in establishing the longest suit in combined hands. Length is strength in no trumps. Hold control of opponent’s suit until the third round. Why? Leader’s part- ner may hold no more cards of suit to return when in the lead, and leader | may hold no side card of re-entry. When one round of a suit must be lost, lose the first. Why? This gives you a re-entry in the suit itself, and keeps control of the suit. POINTERS ON PLAY. Contract Card No. 9. The Play of a No-Trump Hand. Play for contract; plan your play; count your winners. Establish the longest suit in the combined hands. Hold control of opponent’s suit until the third round. ‘When one round of a suit must be_lost, lose the first. Keep entries in the weak hand. Holding three touching hon- ors divided between the two hands, play an honor from the two-honor hand first. se to preferred adversary. The Play of a Suit Hand. Play for contract; plan your play; count your losers. With a long established side suit, lead trumps at once. With an establishable side suit, establish suit first, then lead mps. ‘With no long side suit, do not lead trumps. Try to use dum- my’s trumps for ruffing. Discard your losers before los- ing control of the hand. Establish entries in dummy. Watch the discards. or from the two-honor hand first. Why? By keeping an honor in either hand, you keep your suit balanced. Lose to the preferred adversary—and of course, the preferred adversary is the opponent who does not hold the long established suit. When playing a suit contract, once again stop, look and plan. Count your losers, first in the trump suit and then in the side suits. Plan your play. Have you a secondary suit to establish, or will you use Dummy's trumps for ruf- fing? With a long side suit already es- tablished, lead trumps at once, then play the secondary suit. But how rarely we have established second suit! With an establishable side suit, estab- lish suit first and then lead trumps. With no side suits to protect, try to make separately the trumps held be- tween your hand and Dummy. Lead trumps only when your winning cards may be trumped by the opponents.

JOHN R. GUNN. Life’s Hills. Text: “The land, whither ye go in to possess it, is a land of hills,"—Deut., xi1l. ¥ Thus Moses describes to the children of Isracl the land of Canaan, the prom- ised land, into which they were about to enter to possess it. It was a land “flowing with milk and honey,” as it had long been pictured to them; but it was also “a land of hills.” So it may be said of life. It, too, is a land of promise pictured to us as a land flowing with milk and honey; but let it be known to all who would pos- 1t has some valleys—valleys of delight, going is easy. But wherever you “go in to possess it,” there will be hills to climb, mountains to scale. How fortunate it is®hat we have these hills to climb! 1If life were all valleys and no mountains, it would be a pretty flat, monotonous thing. We would soon tire of its easy-going ways, if it never presented any rugged and difficult steeps to challenge us. Be- sides, valleys are never fully appreci- ated until viewed from the mountain top. Not until we climb some of life's hills and attain the hilltop view do we ever come to appreciate fully its flower- covered and restful valleys. To possess life's promised land with its flowing milk and honey. we must possess its hills also. What about the hill you are trying to make? Steep? Hard pulling? Seems a long climb? Never mind. Every hill has a top. There is a top to yours. You're bound to reach it—if you keep climbing. DAILY DIET RECIPE Crab a Ia Newburg.

There were some 15 or 20 persons in the room. One, a tall, wiry, muscular old man, from the West, sun- burned and swarthy, with a hat on his knees and a giant umbrella resting be- tween his legs. He sat bolt upright in his chair, frowning steadily at the car- pet and twitching the hard lines about his mouth, as if he had made up his mind to ‘fix’ the President on what he had to say. “Another. a Kentucky farmer, 6 feet tall, with his hat on and his hands under his coatlails, who leaned against the wall and kicked the floor with his salt get hard our salt shakers with Inter- then forget them.

HOW IS IT YOUR WASHER GETS CLOTHES SO MUCH WHITER THAN MINE ? 7, + 1929. SUB ROSA BY MIML Is Woman Tender-Hearted ¢ You may think this is the craziest question in the world, for woman ap- pears to be the very symbol of tender- ness and the model of all mercy. But that isn't saying that she doesn’t have her heart under control. ‘Woman may want to shed tenderness the way a flower does its fragrance, but her heart has its silent reservations. If there’s suffering, she’s right there with the warm heart and hot-water bag. But under normal conditions woman saves her sympathy for somebody. Something in the life of all woman- kind has taught the individual woman that it won’t pay to expend any too much sympathy upon her sisters of the sex. Children come in for their share of her compassion, but woman does not waste tears on another female of the species. That sympathy she holds in reserve for man. He may not need or desire but still it’s natural for woman to let | her heart go out toward the opposite sex. | You see, girls, we're placed in a po- | sition where we have to be in competi- tion for the male members of the human bunch. It's a horrid idea, I know, but we've been taught to grab the man as husband, just as though he were the brass ring in the merry-go- round. We can’t have the other girl ‘When you go to the department store on bargain day, you don't find the other woman stepping aside so that you can grab the half-price hosfery, do_you? Well, it's the same on the marrlage counter. There are just so many of these possible hubbies, and we can't afford to be sweet and unselfish when marriage is in sight. We've got to put the brakes on our natural sympathy and give the other girl the cold shoulder. Women are quick to believe ugly things that are said about the mem- bers of their sex. Then they are just as slow when it comes to forgiving one of the sex for some bit of “turpitude.” Do you suppose that men are like that? ~ No, they are likely to excuse the other man’s faults, and if it's pos- sible, they lie for him and say that it isn't so. We are naturally tended-hearted, but FEATURES. BY HERBERT PR!‘SIDENT AND MRS.

Disposition of things like crystal bowls is a comparatively easy matter. A painting of one’s self, however, is a dif- ferent matter. At least Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge think so. They are opposed to the idea of storing such possessions in an attic or cellar. Yet, if they return to the modest home at Northampton, which appar- ently is their plan, there is no place for all of these paintings. It is simply out of the question to take all of them along. ‘There is a place ready for one por- trait of each. Custom has decreed that the retiring Chief Executive and First Lady leave be- hind a painting of their likeness for the presidential gallery in the White House. Two portraits each of Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge now hang from the walls of the Executive Mansion. Those to be left behind have not yet been selected.

Borah, the vivaclous wife of the Sena- tor from Idaho, on her regular visits to the physical and mental cripples of the World War confined in the military hospitals of Washington. Vivacious Mrs. Borah. Mrs. Borah never fails to make these three visits each week. In rain or shine. in heat or cold, she devotes three after- noons every week to these disabled sol- diers. She is the only woman in Wash- ington who visits these veterans so reg- ularly, and certainly one who has never flagged in her effort to make them feel l‘:ac their country has not fcrgotten them. She is not the type one is so accus- tomed to find doing such work. She is far from the serious-minded, tearful in- dividual. Quite the contrary. She is one of the brightest, cheeriest and wit- tiest women in official or unofficial Washington. It is because of this that these disabled men eagerly await her visits each week. Mrs. Borah is noted particularly for a hair-trigger gift of repartee. The story is told that she was on a shopping tour one day with a visiting constituent. Her guest was impressed by the number of men of foreign appearance who so often bowed and tipped their hats to the wife of the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee. “Are these men all diplomats?” the visitor asked. “No, my dear,” Mrs. Borah replied, “they are Washington waiters.” On Fishing Smacks. President-elect Hoover’s ability to catch fish aboard a warship furnished a bit of amusement in the Senate the other day during heated debate on the cruiser bill be- .tween Senator Reed of Missouri M and Senator Brookhart of Towa. Senator Reed had neared the end of a powerful plea for more warships. In a burst of ora- tory he cried, “I am in favor of enough war vessels so that we can give our President- elect & warship in feet with, “Why, | the first act of the next President of | the United States after he was elected | to that exalted office was to take the | biggest warship we have in the Navy and go fishing.
