NO collection of tailor-mades would i
be complete Just now without at
least one bustle model, and here
it is. Rather a sensational style, per
haps, and not one that will be adopted
by conservative women, but a smart
mode, none the less, and one entirely
Indorsed by authoritative tailors, both
here and in Pans. The suit described
is built of light brown broadcloth and
has the customary narrijw skirt short
enouKh to reveal trim buttoned spats
in the same shade. The coat is semi
fitted and has a curving line at the
waist, the very full circular tunic being
draped cleverly to give the bustle ef
fect. Worth seems to have taken deeply
to heart the mandate that no feminine
costume shall consume more than five
meters of material. But, as you see,
the modest allowance of white cloth
used for this dainty Worth tailleur has
been somewhat eked out with sealskin.
The short eton jacket and narrow sktrt
are the very latest mode, and, like
most of Worth's models, this one has
a slightly longer skirt than other
couturiers are favoring. White broad
cloth and sealskin are comibed in the
costume, and the simple sailor hat i:
of black velvet.
One may depend upon bulloz for but
tons, and this year fur is to be ex
pected from every builder of smart
tailored wear. For a debutante, of
course, a saucy and charming little
suit of tan velour and Kolinsky. An
Intriguing detail is the adjustment of
the belt a very wide belt of soft tan
euede. The belt buckle has been
clipped around to the right, while the
coat closes at the left, but there is
nothing askew about the effect, ac
cording to fashion. With her tan
colored suit this debutante wears a
dashing buckled cap of bronze velvet
HAVING considered as thoroughly
as possible, in view somewhat
limited space, the over-call or
take-out by third player of his part
ner's no-trump bid with a suit bid, ma
jor or minor, as the case may be, I
will treat today of the take-out when
his partner's bid is a trump. Various
conflicting factors enter into this
- policy, and the several cases must of
necessity be considered separately.'
First, as to the take-out with a no
trump, when the partner has bid a ma
jor suit, spades or hearts: I have so
repeatedly impr.ssed upon my readers
the expediency, as a rule, of playing a
hand at a major suit rati r than a no
trump that 1 hasten to explain such
take-oit is rarely advisable, scarcely
anything save the holding of a liundred
aces (and ev- so, it is not always
best), or the being entirely void of the
suit, rendering it justifiable.
When third hand has help for his
partner' at the suit named, he should
generally let him alone, though his
hand be so constituted that originally
he would have bid no trumps. By help
in such case is meant two or more of
the suit this insuring the rajority to
the side or perhaps even one, if that
one be a high honor, as ace, king or
queen, any one of which would help
clear the suit ar.d perhi-ps be good for
a trick. Lacking help, but with an
otherwise bona fide no-trumper, it is
often well to make the over-call.
Minor Snit Needs Over-Call.
' The over-call by third player of his
partner's minor-suit bid with a no
trump is an entirely different proposi
tion, and, without reference to the help
he may be able to give in the suit,
should be observed whenever and in all
cases wjiere his hand admits of his so
doing. The only exception, perhaps, to
this, conditions otherwise justifying it,
is when the score is such that the
extra risk which a no-trump generally
entails becomes inexpedient.
If, then, his partner having called
"one diamond" or "one club," third
player holds strength, aces and kings,
in at least two suits (not counting the
suit named), he should generally over
call with a no trump. Save to the score,
few players want to play a hand at a
minor suit, and wnen such suit is bid
it is bid. as a rule, more in the hope
that the partner, counting upon at least
a certain minimum number of tricks
la the bidder's hand, will be encouraged

are a shade
to make a better bid than in 'the hope
the bid will stand.
Now as to the over-call of a major
suit with the remaining major: Such
over-call should be made only. when
third player has absolutely no help in
the suit named, but has genuinely good
strength in the remaining major. The
over-call- of a heart with a spade does
not call for an increase of contract, and
is therefore a somewhat less risky pro
ceeding than the over-call of a spade
with a heart, which calls for a two
trick contract. An increase of con
tract imposes greater responsibilities
and should be resorted to only as a
matter of expediency and when condi
tions seem absolutely to demand it.
Over-Call May Signal Dinger.
The over-call of the partner's major
suit bid with a minor suit is distinctly
a backward policy (therefore a danger
signal) and should be employed in ex
ceptional cases only. Some authorities
disapprove of this over-call altogether,
but to conserve the best interests of
the two hands and therefore to insure
the best teamwork, it is fully as Im
portant that the original bidder be in
formed as to the special makeup of his
partner's .hand when his strength is in
one of the minor suits as when In one
of the majors. Such over-call not only
requires a greater number of tricks to
make good, but, the trick values being
less, insures the less chance of going
game, and In the modern game of
auction, game at the player's declara
tion is the goal he strives to attain.
Even conceding these disadvantages,
however, a minor suit which fulfills
its contract is infinitely to be pre
ferred to a major suit which fails, so
in cases where game, perhaps even the
contract, seems dubious at a certain
trump, though a major, it is far wiser
to abandon it and adopt the safest
alternative, apparently, which offers.
The score has an important bearing
on cases of this- nature and should be
duly noted and considered. When it is
such that the minor suit would call for
no more tricks to go game than the
major suit, the minor suit take-out
could hardly in the strict sense of the
word be called a backward policy, but
rather a precautionary measure, a
reaching out for the trump which the
player has reason to believe will insure
the best chance of going game at the
least risk. Even at such score, how
ever, the minor suit take-out shonld
i not be employed, 'no matter how good
the suit, or how high an honor score
it may insure, if the hand contains help
for the partner's suit.
Partner Is AVarned.
In all cases where third hand over-
calls his partner's major suit bid with
a minor, the partner should carefully
consider the situation and determine
according to the best of his ability the
particular policy eventually to adopt.
At times it may seem best to let the
minor suit stand : at others, notwith
standing his partner's indication of
weakness in his suit, to persist with
his own, especially since he can do so
without an increase of contract. Again
encouraged bv the knowledge that his
partner has strength in a certain suit,
he may perhaps deem it well to shift
to no trumps if, in addition to his own
suit, he holds certain side suit strength.
No set rules can be laid down for such
cases, everything being dependent upon
the relative strength or weakness of
his hand, the exigency of the score, and
to a great extent upon his individual
judment. As in innumerable other
cases, what would be right under some
conditions would be distinctly wrong
under others.
The take-out of a minor suit with
a major does not by any means say no
help in the minor suit, but strength in
the major and the wish to play the
hand at the trump calling for the fewer
tricks to go game.
The overcall of a minor suit with
the remaining minor, as "1 diamond"
over "1 club," or 2 "clubs" over "1 dia
mond," shows as In similar cases above
explained, no help in the suit the part
ner has called, but genuine strength,
perhaps a goodly array of honors. In
the suit which he, third player, calls.
In spite of the special emphasis
which has been repeatedly placed upon
the importance of the take-out and its
effectiveness in insuring good team
work, it is surprising how few com
paratively observe the policy, or are
familiar really with the principles gov
erning it. How often do we hear the
remark, "Mrs. So-and-So is a good
player but an atrocious bidder." With
all due respect to those making such
remark, I beg leave to enter a protest.
Bid Is Most Scientific,
The test of good auction is in the
bidding; therefore no player failing in
this respect is, or, strictly speaking
can be a good auction player. Such
player may make his leads correctly
may know when to lead his own and
when his partner's suit; may Btrictly
observe unblocking tactics; in a word,
may be entirely acceptable as leader,
second, third or fourth-hand player; as
declarer, he may handle the two 'hands
subtly and correctly, and by his ex
ceeding skill, garner tricks from seem
ingly impossible sources, yet he lacks
in the first essentials to the true auc
tion player. Such player (assuming
that he was equally good at making
his declaration) as a bridare Dlaver
would be Incomparable, but auction in
its very inception is a radically differ
ent game from bridge.
To emphasize the point, I quote as
foilows from Miss Irwin: "While I
admire the faultless player, I should
choose the faultless bidder for my
partner. Give me the man who never
offers me false information; who never
declares the king when his highest
card is the jack; who never makes a
double that will give the adversaries a
chance for a safe shift; who knows
how to stop bidding his own suit and
leave me with my better one; who can
practice self-effacement when the cards
demand it; who will give me a warning
overcall when my bid strikes a bad
combination In Tiis hand; who will give
me the opportunity to tell him that
his bid is unwelcome to me; and above
all, who thrusts no undesirable re
sponsibilities upon me, in the shape of
conventional bids to which I am forced
to respond, whether I like it or not."
The two cases last mentioned refer
to "pre-emptive bids" and "informa
tory doubles," both of which I shall
shortly take up.
Sweater Holder Needed.
Have you ever hung your pet sweater
away on a coat hanger for a couple of
days? If you have, you have probably
found It stretched most distressingly
when you took it down again. So then,
have you hung It, ever so carefully, up
on a hook?
Tes? Then, of course, you have found
a most annoying little bump in the wool
where it hung.
So, then, perhaps, you have decided to
keep your sweaters in a bureau drawer
and you have caught them on the edge
of the drawer and pulled a thread.
Well, here is a suggestion to make
the keeping -of your sweaters truly
ANT of the shops are offering spe
cial bargains in footwear these
days and boots "worth $6, f8 and $10"
are attractively priced below the $5
mark. Eut it will be found that most
of these marked down shoes are of the
laced type and the woman who wants
to dress smartly should beware of
them. Fashion does not admit the laced
boot to the inner circle of exclusive
ness and with all formal costumes the
buttoned type of footwear either boot
or " spat is called for. Laced boots
with mannish lines and low, walking
heels are correct with tailored trota
bout costumes, but the French heeled
lace boot has no style value as an asset
to the dress-up costume and is not
worn by the best-dressed women.
The knitting-muff is a war-time
product. It takes the place of the knit
ting bag which somehow does not ac
cord with a Wintry costume, but de
mands Summer sport garb as its back
ground. The knitting-muff is made of
fur, of course and has openings at the
sides for the hands. It is carried like
a muff but it is really a deep fur
pocket with draw-strings at the top. A
dainty seal muff of this sort has an
extra pocket for opera glasses and
drawstrings and cuffs are of ermine. It
will hold yarn and needles comfortably
and is just the thing for the matinee
where everybody knits during the
entr'acts.
Camouflage is such a fetching name
that It is being applied to everything
these days. At least ten kittens the
scribe knows of are named camouflage
and there is a camouflage pudding,
mostly white of eggs on top. In the
sartorial realm, by a happy chance, it
is the veil that has been named camou
flage and the term does seem to fit this
airy nothing of dress very aptly. The
real camouflage veil is an affair of
fine. Invisible mesh with a pretty
tracery of design in hand-thread work

ILX.IONS of women and millions
of blouses in these United States.
Shop counters banked high with
blouses. Advertisement pages In the
Sunday newspapers spotted with pic
tures of special value blouses. But
only one blouse In, say, 20 of com
pelling interest. It is the compelling
blouse, of course, that the woman who
seeks to be individual and distinctive
in dress is looking for the blouse that
stands out among all other blouses in
its vicinity because of its arresting
style and charm. And such blouses
are never to be found on shop counters
and rarely on newspaper advertise
ment pages. One must search for them.
glean for them and by the same token.
pay for them. For the compelling
blouse is usually a pretty bit of finery
that costs a pretty penny unless one
has the knack and the skill to copy an
alluring model at home. Many women
can do this and, indeed, a distinctive
model of filmy stuff, embroidered with
silk or beads. Is not so difficult to
achieve, provided one has the patience
to do fine needlework, and the seeing
eye that can carry home a unique de
sign or a special manner of cut.
Tinted Crepe and Beads Used.
For the really compelling blouse mod
els one looks about in the little spe
cialty shops, where imported things or
hand-copied models of Imported things
are sold; or in the department of the
big store which carries "exclusive mod
els." These are rarely displayed to the
casual gaze of the bargain hunter or
the undi8criminating shopper; they are
brought out with reverent hands for
the consideration of the purchaser who
seems really In earnest about secur
ing something special and out of the
ordinary. Therefore such blouses are
harder to copy at home than less in
teresting models displayed conspicu
ously for the perusal of a calculating
eye. Jut In the windows of the little
importing shops, lovely blouses are
displayed every day; enticing hints of
the satisfying belongings that may be
found inside the shop itself.
Many of these very chic models are
of tinted chiffon or Georgette crepe
with garnishment of bead embroidery,
Superstitions of the Kitchen.
CtOOKING is such practical every
! day work that It seems strange
for superstitions to invade the
kitchen. Yet probably there is not a
cook in the world, one writer claims,
who would venture to stir any sort of
mixture, from a custard to a gravy. In
any other direction than "with the
sun." Many a cook will tell you that
a custard will curdle if stirred in the
opposite direction, and that a cake will
be heavy if the mixture be not always
worked round sunwise.
It is a common saying that if the
crank of a churn be reversed after
turning it in the proper direction for
a time 'all the work will be unlone.
In some parts of Europe, when butter
does not come easily, a live coal is
placed under the churn, "so as to save
it from bewitchment."
Regarding bread-making, there ars
several superstitions. In York&hir.
England, nearly all the housewives still
bake their own bread. After kneading
the dough and leaving It to rise, a deep
cross is cut in it with a knife. This is
to "let the witch out." and the custom
is common to this day. In Scotland
they say that the yeast must be made
within an hour of sunrise, or the bread
will not be light.
Peasants in the west of Ireland, it
is said, will never leave an eggshell

LONG Jackets over narrow, plain
skirts are a representative mode
of the house of Doeuillet and this
couturier favors the apron or panel
front with fur trimming at the edge.
A handsome suit is built of citron
green velours de laine and the fur is
brown marten. The jacket laps well
across to the left and below the waist
and hemstitching where seams occur or
where two tints of the material are set
together. Lifted in the hand, such a
blouse is a mere wisp of flimsy fabric,
but ah, the graceful lines and general
allurement of that blouse when it is
slipped on! Always- one finds the cut
very loose and unfitted, the soft mate
rial falling softly from the shoulders
and drawn in symmetry at the waist
line by means of a girdle or sash. A
most compelling model is of olive chif
fon with a design of bronze beads on
the front and the same beads outlining
a square neck. In and out through the
bead design runs a bronzy green velvet
ribbon, and narrower ribbon is threaded
through the band cuffs below which
tumble plisse frills hemstitched at the
edge. The chiffon is buttonholed with
Bilk, by hand, where It is slashed to
allow the ribbon to pass through. An
other blouse, in tunic style, with a
sash confining its waistline, is of red
Georgette with a festoon design of blue
beads. Rows of beads, an inch apart,
surround the neck opening and suggest
a yoke, the effect broken by epaulettes
of flesh-tinted Georgette set in at the
shoulders and outlined with beads. The
festoon design follows the edge of the
yoke and runs out over the sleeve; and
It decorates the cuff and also the edge
of the tunic. The narrow, folded sash
has a tiny bead design and a fringe of
the beads.
Loose Xeckg Are Favored.
Compelling also are the soft.
slimpsy and altogether graceful little
models called Japanese blouses. These
are made of crepe chiffon with a bit
of hand-embroidery across the front
and a turnover, draped collar outlining
a round neck. The fastening is at the
back. For younger women these
blouses are enchanting but the button
in-the-back style, combined with the
loosely draped round neck are un
deniably trying to older faces which
need the definite outline of a V decol
letage or the softness of a collar high
at the back of the neck. One is ira
pressed by the numbers of very gay
blouses among these models for wear
with afternoon tailleurs of velvet and
glove cloth for you know glove cloth
is the material of materials for very
open at one end only. The spoon is
always thrust through the lower end.
Otherwise some wicked goblin will
seize upon the shell and make a boat
of it in which to sail the soul of the
careless person to destruction.
The superstitions with regard to salt
are endless. That the spilling of salt
is unlucky is perhaps the commonest
of all superstitious beliefs, and pre
vails in the kitchen as well as at the
table. There are Scottish households
where salt is still held In such rever
ence that the saltcellar used at the
family table is invariably kept stand
ing on the family Bible.

master spiders. High Germans and
low Germans, all species and sub-species,
are implicated in the vile business.
How are the Germans to reconcile this
fact with their pretentions to straight
forward manliness, to self-conscious
strength, to alone-with-God honesty?
Was German directness never more
than a cloak to crooked scheming?

just now and you would never guess
that this beautiful fur is anything so
smart tailored costumes just now. The
rich blues, reds, olives, citrons and
other shades noted in dressy blouses
are never crude or garish but have a
soft. Oriental color suggestion. Per
haps this penchant for colored blouses
is a reaction from the staid and sober
colors we are wearing now . in the
street. Dark and-"quiet" street garb
has been adopted by common consent
out of sympathy for those who are sac
rificing personal desires about the
wearing of mourning during the war.
Women everywhere are uniting to
abolish mourning at this time when
black garb is so depressing and dis
couraging to hearts that must keep
all their courage; and women every
where, for the sake of those who re
frain from the wearing of mourning,
are adhering to sober and neutral
colors for the street. But the blouse.
of course, hidden under one's jacket,
may be what it will, and this Winter it
chooses to be very colorful and charm
ingly gay.
Stock Collars Worn.
One calls one's morning shirtwaist a
"negligee shirt" now; and indeed it has
a mannish suggestion with its straight
groups of tucks, its plain sleeves end
ing in cuffs, and its high turnover -collar
tied with a black moire ribbon
cravat. With a military hat and a
mannish trotabout tailleur the sort
one wears to Charity meetings and Red
Cross affairs the high-collared "shirt
does seem to give the last touch of trig
smartness to the costume, and if one's
pretty afternoon blouse of crepe has a
pronounced decolletage, one can stand
the tall and not over comfortable stock
collar o' mornings. Most of these tai
lored "shirts" are of thick, soft white
silk, some are of fine linen, others of
the soft, mercerized stuff of which
men's negligee shirts are fashioned. The
cravat of black silk is a very impor
tant item and must be exactly right in
size and shape. If coal is as scarce as
some folks predict this Winter, there
will be an, amazing vogue for the velvet
over-blouses, which are Just coming in.
They are sleeveless and slip in tunic
style over a thin waist of chiffon or
similar material.
Things Silver Can Do.
SILVER just now is attracting an
extraordinary amount of attention.
It is certainly a wonderfuf metal.
At a pinch it can disguise Itself as
gold with such convincingness that
anybody save a skilled chemist would
be deceived. It assumes the color of
gold, all of the brilliancy of the latter
and even its luster.
Any alchemist of old who knew the
trick could easily have made Incalcula
ble money by transforming sliver into
this seeming gold for the benefit
of greedy get-rich-quick persons. The
Baron de Retz (original of the storied
Bluebeard), who murdered scores of
children to gain the help of the devil.
would have "fallen for the scheme off
hand.
To transform silver into gold all you
have to do is to take green sulphate of
iron, citrate of soda and silver nitrate
a 30 per cent solution of the first, a
40 per cent solution of the second and
a 10 per cent solution of the third. Mix
equal quantities of these, shake vigor
ously for several minutes, allow the
stuff to settle for a quarter of an hour
and pour off the liquid. It will leave
behind a Jelly-like residue, which, if
spread on paper turns blood-red.

now and then by touches of Cuticura
Ointment to first signs of pimples,
rashes, dandruff or irritation. Bathe
with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry
lightly and apply Cuticura Ointment.
At once the itching ceases, sleep and
rest follow, and complete healment in
most cases results in continued use of
these fragrant, super-creamy emollients.
