BODING REVSE BY CULBERTSN Expert Streamlines His Sys- tem for Safety and Speed. By tho Associated Pyess. NEW YORK, March 9-—Improve- ments on the Culbertson system of bidding at contract bridge, “built for speed and safety and streamlined to resist the winds of chance,” were an- nounced today. Requirements for opening bids of one no trump are increased to four or five honor tricks with 4-3-3-3 dis- tribution, except in rare cases where tenace hands of other distribution make a no trump bid preferable to a suit opening. A new void-showing bid is created. A double-jump shift by the respond- ing hand, three spades over partner's opening bid of one club, for instance, shows a void in spades and a strong fit in clubs, with slam possibilities. The bid s designed to reach slam contracts which might otherwise be impossible. Bid Requirements. ‘Three honor tricks are required for an opening bid in any position, ex- cept that when a suit is rebiddable 21. honor tricks are sufficient. Any five-card suit headed by ace-king cr three honors is construed as rebidda- ble. A six-card suit is always re- biddable. A one-over-one bid, or a takeout of two in a lower-ranking suit, is forcing for one round. The require- ments for a takeout of one no trump after an intervening pass have been lowered to one plus honor tricks. A two no trump takeout is forcing to game and requires 2!2 to 3': honor tricks. Original bids of two no trump re- quire five or more honor tricks, with eight honor cards and all suits stopped. Double-Raise Requirements. A double raise of partner’s original suit is forcing to game and requires at least four trumps, two honor tricks and a singleton, 212 honor tricks with a doubleton and three with balanced distribution. A raise from one to four is pre- emptive and may be given with five trumps and strong distributional ad- vantages. A defensive overcall of one more than necessary indicates eight win- ners with a two-suiter or a strong rebiddable suit. “The intelligent and more frequent use of the penalty double at low lev- els,” said Ely Culbertson, “made weak opening bids unpleasantly dangerous and it became necessa:y to tighten up its requirements. v standardizing | opening bids in any position at the table we simplify the bidding prob- lem.” | WINNER OF LAW DEBATE IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINALS J.

Definitely plain | in cut, its dressy aspect | achieved by applied dress- maker touches on sleeves and neck- line. The skirt is cut with a center seam, and joined to the bodice above the normal waistline. This is & new touch, which hints at the influence of the regency mode. For huvur“ types, the style has its advantages, for the waistline is kept smooth and flat, with only the belt to add to its size. | Raglan sleeves, trimmed with in- | teresting cuffs, give a modishly “ smooth shoulder treatment. Collar- | less styling is seen in many of the | smartest frocks for larger sizes. Neck- lines are often plain, with bows, or | shirred details, breaking the severity | in front. In this design, ties made | of long, straight pieces of the mate- rial, and sewed into the sleeve seam, | are arranged in a becoming bow. These may be of starched Chantilly lace, of print, or of the same material | as the dress. Many navy blue frocks | | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MARCH 10, 1935—PART THREE. Slender Lines 16/0-8 When a printed fabric is used, di- minutive designs are a wise choice for fuller figures. Multi-colored petals, small geometrics, and the smaller polka-dot patterns are gay, yet con- servative. Plain colors are always satisfactory. All blues, from aqua to navy, are smart. A new shade— Schiaparelli's carbon—has just beeml added. ‘Darker than navy, it has a wide popularity with older women, who prefer a change from black for Summer.
