IB little fur wraps are delight
fully warm and they are easier
to take care of than a bulky coat
In a theater seat, So they are par
ticularly popular with the matinee
plrl. This dainty wrap (3291) Is of
Russian mink. lA circular cape of the
fur falls well below the waist line and
two long animal skins make the col
lar, which may be twisted round the
throat in muffler or scarf fashion.
The mink wrap accompanies a frock
of blue tricotine and one of the cute
little shirred silk hats just out In
advance spring style.
Nothing: la so fashionable as gray
Just now the Paris craze for all
shades of gray has reached America.
A beautiful gray costume is pictured.
(5067). Smoke gray fox is muffled
about the throat and the turban is pf
pray velvet in the same smoke shade
mbroidcrrd with silver thread. The
rich neckpiece and bat accompany a
wrappy coat of light gray wool velour
embroidered with braid in self tone.
And of course, as you may gaess, she
is wearing gray silk stockings and
srsy suede strap slippers.
From her snusrrled-in-fur look you
might assume that she (453$) Is all
wrapped up for January. So she is
as far as you can see. But the heavy
coat of black velvet falls over a skirt
of frilly chiffon and, of course, the
chiffon frock demands dainty little
strap slippers and silk stockings. But
the width and warmth tf the big
squirrel collar surely keep her warm
as toast; and very effective with the
black velvet coat and gray fur Is a
hat of deep red velvet with a dash
ing bow.
However, she doubled, and owing: to
a serious mietake in the play of the
declarer and not In any sense because
the double was right, -came out with
flying colors, defeating the contract
by three tricks and getting penalties
to the value of 300. The hand went

Z. the dealer, bid "a spade." A
fussed, and T made a pre-emptive
raise, and said "two spades." A pre
emptive raise is essentially different
from a pre-emptive bid and is strongly
approved by many players who dis
approve the pre-emptive bid. A pre
emptive bid pre-empts one's partner
as well as one's opponents: It Is, In
fact, a command to one's partner to
let the bid stand, no matter how illy
liis band may be adapted to it or
how beautifully it may conform to
come other bid. If a pre-emptive bid
pre-empted one's opponents only, it
would be much more generally ap
proved than it is. This is what the
pre-emptive raise accomplishes; It
ehuts out the opponent only. It is
made, necessarily, after the partner
has spoken. The bid he has made
constitutes, in fact, the basia of the
raise.
The pre-emptive raise applies to
conditions like the following: The
dealer, we will say. has bid and sec
ond player has passed. Third player,
if having a hand on which he would
raise bis partner's bid if forced to
do. often does so in spite of the fact
Jiit.at the time it is not necessary.
in the hope to handicap fourth player
as regards making a bid. Many believe
in raising the bid at once to within
one of the number of times the hand
would Justify the raise, if opposing
Dias forced one to raise.
As stated, therefore, T bid "two
spades," but B in this case refused
to be pre-empted and came out with
"three diamonds." (I am giving the
bids as they were made, not necee
sarily as they should be made. B
truly has little on which to base a
bid of three, the less so as his partner
nas passed, thus proclaiming a band
lacking a genuine first-round bid. The
only Justification perhaps was that it
was the rubber game.)
Z, whose hand was slightly stronger
than was necessary for her initial bid
and encouraged by her partner's pre
emptive raise, went "three Bpades."
A then came suddenly to life, and,
having but one of her partner's suit
(diamonds), though an unusually long
suit of clubs second-round bids being
generally on long weak suits an
nounced "four clubs." Y passed (I
think he should have given another
raise), and B. realizing his partner
could not support diamonds and
unable himself to support clubs,
which bid, being a second-round bid
most likely Indicated length, rather
than high-card strength, also passed.
Z went to "four spades," and A
foolishly doubled. What there'was In
her hand to Justify the double, it
would be difficult to say. A safe
double presupposes the book in the
doubling player's hand, trusting to
one's partner for the extra trick, the
trick necessary to defeat the double.
A bad not a sure triek in her hand;
to be sure, it contained possibilities.
bnt possibilities are not certainties,
and a double that goes wrong is
about the most expensive thing one
comes up against la auction play. I

lone of dummy's two commands and
(drawn the trumps.
! At a trump declaration the lead of
; an eight-spot is never a fourth best
j lead by the very nature of the case
I it cannot be, since if one holds three
.cards higher than an eight-spot it is
I inevitably a high-card lead. The lead
of such card, therefore, always points
to danger. Setting aside this con
sideration, Z should have known by
the eleven- Yule that A's lead was a
shot suit, possibly a doubleton,
though more likely a singleton. If
the card led were a fourth best, by
inferences from the eleven rule Z
should have known there could have
been Just three cards higher than the
eight which were out against the
leader. Her own hand contained two
higher and the dummy hand three
higher. Clearly, then, it was not a
fourth best lead. This should have
emphasized more than ever the Im
portance of winning the first trick.
Z's excuse for the play of the jack
rsther than the king was that she
thought Jack would hold good and
sh would thus make three tricks In
the suit. She apparently failed to
realize that by winning the first
trick with king and exhausting
trumps, leaving herself In the lead
for the fifth trick, she could lead a
heart from her own hand and make
the finesse of her Jack then if at
that time it seemed well to do so.
A's failure to follow to this trick
would at once proclaim the situation
and Z could win the immediate trick
or otherwise as she might think best.
There is a current saying1 to the
effect that "cards never forgive," and
apparently it proved true in this
case, for not only did Z's unwise play
cost the side a considerable sum of
money, but it was the cause even
tually of their losing the rubber, and,
as will sometimes happen, the cards
began to run against them and so
continued during the remainder of
the sitting.
A correspondent asks the following:
The bid has been secured by Z at
"four hearts," which A has doubled.
Z not only makes good, but takes one
more trick than the number named.
or 5. A contends that since he dou
bled a four-trick contract only Z is
not entitled to score the value of the
additional trick below the line, but
should score simply an additional 50
in the honor score.
A certainly has hazy Ideas regard
ing the subject, and until she famil
iarizes herself as to the proper mode
of scoring she would be infinitely
wiser in not attempting a double, for I
she certainly cannot have a clear or I
definite idea as to the strength jus
tifying a double or the many consid
erations governing the situation.
However, In answer to the question,
would state that when a player I
makes good at a double she scores
the doubled value as well of any and
all tricks she takes in excess of the
number named. Z's score in this
case would be 80 below the line, and
above the line 50 for. making good
at a double, 50 for the extra trick
and 64 for honors, she having held
four honors In her own hand.
To put the case somewhat differ
ently and perhaps more emphatically.
suppose the contract had been de
feated by five tricks? As the double
was over a contract of four tricks.
would A, I wonder, be satisfied with
400-point score only, or would he I
clamor for the additional hundred to
which in reality he would be entitled?
It is a poor rule that does not work
both ways.
Another question asked Is as to
the proper bid on the following hand,
he player holding It sitting fourth
at table and the three other players
having passed:
v 10 2
K J 6 2
4 A 9 3
Q 10 7 2
Under conditions as given, the
player should undoubtedly pass. Were
she the dealer or second player (the
ealer having passed), she should bid
no trumps. I do not know that play-
rs generally are impressed with the
importance as fourth bidder of mak
ing no bid when the other three
players have passed unless the bid
pretty confidently assures game. The
time of playing for a partial score
as passed. Game Is the desideratum
of all players, and unless gams Is
pretty well assured, a pass is gen-
rally the better policy. One or tne
chief objections, however, to a bid
on a hand as given oy me lourtn
player at table when the others have
Dassed is that such bid reopens the
bidding and ofton admits of the ad-
ersary coming In on the second
ith a long, weak bid (a bid wnicn
e was unable to announce on me
first round), finding his partner with
leh card strength in the suit, ana
not infrequently going game; whereas
had the fourth player as well an-
nnneed a pass the opposing forces
would have had no intimation of the
ossibillties of their two hands, and
the hands would have Deen tnrown
Far better, as lourtn piayer.
therefore, unless, as explained, tne
bid insures promise of game, also
o pass, trusting to better luca on tne
ext deal. ,

arranged an ordinary game of tiddly
winks. At table two they played the
old nursery game of "snap" only when
they dealt out the cards they dis
covered that they were ail hearts.
In the center of the table there wa
a heap of cardboard slips with name
printed on themj every one took
handful and found that each nam
was that of some famous lover, mal
or female. For every pair that
matched up the player took one score.
They did this four times for the on
hand, and the two with the highest
score moved on, as did the winners
at all the tables.
Each player at table four had

They . were all pictures of wedding

wooden hearts Instead of the usua

one had reached the third table they
were all getting suspicious, and every
one was excited. But nothing hap
pened. When every one had played
at every table, the hostess told them
to count their scores, and she cleared
the table and put on little white
cloths. When she brought around the
napkins on a tray she put a tiny little
nOBegay bouquet made up In shove
fashion with a paper frill and little
white baby ribbon streamers at each
place. In the next room a phono
graph was playing "Love's Old Sweet
Song" and "The Sweetest Story Ever

When the score was taken after re
freshmenls, of course several had the

Then the hostess said that it was so
hard to decide to whom to give the
