BY ANITA DE CAMPI. N THE evolution of the house plan, thQ hall which In olden times was the main room has now I commonly become a mere passage way. It is seldom the house place or living room, but has detached it seLf, and in so doing hits become reduced to a minimum. The living room functions as a field of friendship, the hall aa an introduc tion. Just the same, in this conven tional world of ours proper introduc tion has importance of its own. Few of us have the felicity of dictating the architecture of our entrance hall, but we can all Indicate the sort of people we are by its furnishing. Recognizing the tar when it does obtain, that the hall Is a passage, the best mode of procedure is to facilitate the passing by keeping the passage clean and not attempting to block it up with furniture. We must remem ber that not merely one or two peo ple but groups of them will be pass ing. This is particularly true when a little party is breaking up. Groups that are starting away at the same time should not be made to feel that thoy must squeeze their way through. The walls, however, must be made In terest in g, and so must the lighting effect, but beware of over-f urnihing in a zealous attempt at coziness. lint Hack Abomination. The modern hall is not looked upon as a cloakroom. A closet should be provided for cloaks and hats. Old fashioned hat raoks are an abomina tion. Yet sometimes it Is difficult to dispose of them. This was a problem to be d?alt with in the furnishing of a certain frater nity house. The built-in hat rack was an eyesore, yet hat and coat space was badly needed. We hit upon the expedient of building in a tall decorative four-fold screen, attaching one side of it to the wall permanently so that it couldn't fall down or be pushed out of place. The screen un folded not only effectively concealed the hat rack but shut off so much of the narrow back hall that more hooks for coats and hats were added there by grace of Its concealment. It was made on frames six feet hlt;h and 18 inches wide covered with blue canvas. Near the top of each panel was appliqued a motif of col orful flowers cut from the chintz employed in mak ing slip covers for the big leather chairs in the living room. Another feature of the hall that needed rejuvenating was a stained glass window with a rounded top that was built Into the wall half way up the stairs. In its day it was very Brand, but we decided to simplify it. We treated the arch like a fan tran som, with fitted drapery of thin silk, the folds converging to the center of the lower line, and below this line we hung a pair of silk curtains. As blue and gold are the fraternity's col ors, we made the draperies, as well as all of the curtains on the living room floor, of old gold silk eldged with a narrow trimming of cadet blue. Cadet blue and old gold are the predominat ing colors throughout. Cadet blue velveteen covers the ample window seats at the multitude of windows. Accidents of intene color, introduced by means of pillows and other acces sories, are of flame color, lemon, bur gundy and Italian blue, with just a touch of green. The whole scheme is redolent with the spirit of virile youth, the vigor and life of the golden sun ...vi a rain clean sky at noontime nil Kurnlture Appropriate.

The padding stitches must all be on the right side, having the etitches that come to the wrong sfde as small as possible, so) as to keep the wrong side flat. The embroidering should be done in a frame, and the stitch is a simple over and over, taken etenly and close together always running at right angles to the padding, and taken as appropriate for hall furnishings. I have in mind a hall cabinet contain ing a victrola. As the living room opened into the hall the music piece served admirably the double purpose of use and beauty. It was flanked by a pair of great vases of antique Can ton china, set upon carved wood stands and backed by an exquisite piece of tapestry. On the cabinet was a pair of double branched electric candles in old bronze, and an exqui site figure in bronze stood between them. The floor was partially cov ered with an oriental rug. Being a prelude, as it were, to the rest of the home, the hall should Indi cate the Btyle adopted throughout.

Hearing an awfui yell, -mother en tered the nursery and found little Betty crying as if her heart would break, and Jane sitting on Betty's favorite doll in the center of the room with a smile on her face. She Inquired, "Jane, what in the world W ERE I asked to name the most giaring fault of the average auction player, I should un hesitatingly say the tendency to over bid. This is a moet pernicious prac tice and distasteful alike to one's partner and opponents, unless they, too, are possessed of like tendencies and play the game, or rather play at the game, not because of its fascina tions as viewed from an intellectual standpoint, but, as they would express It, "for the real fun of the thing." The tendency to overbid destroys any and all confidence which one's partner may originally have reposed in one. Thus it strikes at the very heart of teamwork and players play an individual rather than a partner ship game. The case of one player playing against three, or, in other words, 13 cards against 39, is very different from the case of two players playing against two, or 26 cards as against 26. Naturally, and especially if the remaining two play ens play good teamwork, the two partners are seriously handicapped and not only does the game, so far at least as they are concerned, resolve itself into a mad scramble for tricks, but execrably bad scores fall to their portion. I would recommend to the player who boastfully announces that he has the gambling instinct and delights in taking chances that he eschew auc tion which is in no sense a gambling, but a thoroughly scientific, game, and devote himself rather to some game void of scientific features and de pendent for its successful outcome en tirely upon chance. This is not saying that the acci dental distribution of the cards, chance or luck, whatever one may choose to call it, does not enter to a greater or less degree Into the play of auction, sometimes to the exetent that one's best laid plans are com pletely overthrown. It is saying, though, that this is the exception rather than the rule, and that the player who repeatedly takes long chances, in so doing committing the unpardonable sin of systematically decelvrng his partner, will in the long run suffer seriously for his temerity. There are times, to be sure, de pendent chiefly upon the state of the score, when a player should overbid his hand rather than allow the ad versary to secure a game-going bid. Such cases come themselves under the heading of scientific play and are not to be confused with the type of overbidding of which I am speak ing. Auction 4s not simply a game, but a science. Iike all off shoots of whist. its successful play brings into requi sition come of the finest and most adroit qualities of which the mind is capable. The sooner a player can be brought to reaUze this the better, not only for the preservation of the hinh standard of the game, but for hid own success, to say nothing of his perhaps conscientious and earne partner, upon whom the losses fall equally with hdmself. Would that the player who makes a practice of wildly overbidding just because he has the gambling instinct in him so strongly developed that he is unable to resist could be made to realize that the principles and rules governing the bid are the outcome of the combined experience of the best and most successful players of the game for a long period of years. Could this be done, his egoism would perhaps suffer some diminution and he would be willing to concede that his experience as compared with theirs counts for naught. and that his judgment, no matter how highly rated by himself and perhaps a few admiring friends, would be considered as negligible by the really true and successful players. Auction is correctly named, as one bids for, or buys, the privilege of securing the declaration, just as at any auction one bids for some spe cial article. No matter how great one's desire at ai auction sale to be come the possessor of some aoveted Frederick had been sick and had never liked a doctor. The second morning when , the doctor came into the room Frederick puckered up his face and the tears began rolling down his cheeks. His mother said, "You mustn't cry, Frederick, the doctor won't hurt you. he will make you well." Frederick said, "I-I-I'm not cryin InFm laughing." M. S. I ' Mary Louise, so surprised at seeing twins for the first time, exclaimed, "That lady's got two babies. Why mamma, look, each one looks like both of 'em." XTRS. L, H article, one does not, however, name a fictitious value at the start, but, on the contrary, bids a comparatively smau sum in the hope it may fall to one at this figure, though perhaps having the intention to increase the sum indefinitely if intervening bid maKe tms necessary. Why not, then, pursue a like tjoIIct in bidding for the make at auction? What possible sense is there in nam ing a high bid if a lower one will acomplish the purpose? The higher one bid-s, the greater the risks he runs in the matter of penalties. Why, then, voluntarily Incur such risK, leading your partner at the same time to read you with strength which you do not possess? Why not start with a low bid and be guided as to subse quent bids by the inferences from Intervening bids and your own hold ing, as well at times as the impor tance of keeping the adversary out of his bid? I am not referring to the cases where one's holding Justifies a pre emptive bid (such hands belong to the exceptional), but to the ordinary type of hands the hands one commonly receives and on which the gambling player, without rhyme or reason, often wildly overbids. It would seem that the heavy penalties which the rash bidder suffers at auction would act as a restraining influence, saving him at least from future experiences of the sort, but apparently this is not so, and perhaps at the very next deal he continues the same mad policy. Repeated protests on the part of the other players at the table for wild bidding spoils the game for all usually bring forth the flippant reply that after all it is only a game and that one need not necessarily be bound by hard and fast rules in the play of a game as would be the case in the pursuance of some more serious undertaking in life. This ar gument is insidious and undoubtedly contributes to the delinquency of many wro. If realizing the extreme value of the game from an intellectual standpoint would perhdps recognize the error of their ways and become sane and conservative players. Auction undoubtedly is a game, just as is whist and all its various off shoots. It is a game which so closely resembles a science, however, that I have long felt It would be well if the word "game" could be eliminated and the word "science" substituted in its place. The word "game" seems to be the stumbling block and sticks in the minds of some players with a pertinacity which the numberless scientific features of the game have not the power to overcome. As has been well said: "Auction, although a pastime and tending to increase social intercourse, is yet something more. , It brings into action the faculties of memory, ob servation, Judgment, patience and knowledge of character, all of which are necessary as means of success in the world. ' Thus auction, like some branches of mathematics, although perhaps not practically useful in everyday life, yet calls into action those mental qualities which every j observing and reasoning person ought : to possess." I Perhaps never before in the history of the game has the bidding been on so sane and conservative a basis as at the present time. The recent work of Wilbur C. Whitehead, "Auction Bridge Stand ards," enables one so correctly to estimate the trick-taking value of his hand and establishes so complete a bond of understanding and sympathy between the two composing the part nership that there is no longer the slightest excuse (if indeed any ever existed) for players making any but the absolutely correct bid. As this article will doubtless be read by many who will take part in the forthcoming tournament, I trust they will lay its precepts seriously to heart and not indulge in wild bid ding. Some of the hands, to be sure, may call for a pre-emptive bid, but to the player familiar with what con stitutes a pre-emptive bid there should be no difficulty in recognizing such cases (if they occur) as they occur. W'hile I know nothing regarding the character of the hands which will be submited for play, my idea is that they will contain little of the excep tional (certainly nothing or tne sen sational), but wil be. in the main, simple, ordinary hands; hands, how ever, embodying some principle, the correct application of which will be essential to the successful outcome. In a letter recently received from Mr. Work, with whom, as is gener ally known the idea of the nation wide tournament originated and by whom, in conjunction with a number of other well-known authorities, the hands have been prepared, he writes: "Replying to your queries concern ing the particular system of bidding to he used in playing the tournament Aged, Wrinkled Faces Easily Rejuvenated An aged face ia often only a mask to a comparatively youthful person.

H1R0LD hands, I beg: to say that the hands have not been prepared with the idea of exemplifying- the advantage or dis advantage of any particular system of bidding. They are really adaptable to any system, but I am sure you will find that the system adrvised in my book will work more satisfac torily than any other in the long rin all the hands, and this comment naturally applies to these as much as to any other. Of course, a player to manage these hands successfully or to manage any hands successfully, must understand 'the principles in volved in an informatory double," The system of bidding as advocated by Work, Whitehead, and for that matter, Florence Irwin also (save that Miss Irwin does not in any sense advocate pre-emptive bidding1), Dractically the same, so that the Dlaver who bids according- to any one of these authorities should not go far wrong.

Mr. Work further says: "Every band ia a 50-50 hand, and all have an equal chance on their plays, every hand being a possible hand." Mx. Charles E. Coffin of Indianap olis. the author of "The Gist of Auc tion Bridge,' who is chairman of the tournament to be held in that city. explains this a little more clearly, as follows: "The committee has arranged a set of 24 deals, so that If played at par (this explains the sJgnificance of the term, 'par auction') that is, with the best possible results, the north and south Dlayers will be exactly equal 4to the east and west players.
