CHICAGO, May 25.—Take\the word of Ely Culbertson, recerk winner of the Harold Vanderbili bridge championship trophy, for the statement that women | are better bridge players n men. “The average man,” sald Culbestson, | “thinks he's perfect. He thinks he has | nothing to learn, Woman players know | more and study more. I believe ane | reason women take to bridge §s becaude | it gives them an opportunity to settle | the intellectual score with their hus-s bands at the card table.” When couples fight at bridge, he says, it is generally because of ‘something else that happened before they got to the party. Not only this, he adds, but fighting it _out this way prevents mire serious difficulties, and therefore pre- vents more divorces than it causes. - " Seven Desolate Islands.

The Signs of the Zodiac. The anclents attached much impor- tance to the signs of the Zodise. The introduction of the 12 figures of the Zodiac into the walls or pavements of early churches and cathedrals is com- mon in Europe. Thus, in Cologne Ca- thedral, an elaborate design outlining the 12 signs is to be seen graven on the pavement on front of the choir and it also forms the subject of a stained glass window to the right of the great door at the entrance. Still more frequently are the zodiacal signs to be found used in decorative form in the temples of the East, the zodiac at Danderah, where the lion is represented standing on an outsiretched serpent, being among the most famous, but to few others.
