New Clothes Offer Cure for ‘Blues’ Stormy Days Often Are Brighter, Too, After Housecleaning. BY GRETTA PALMER Timrt Social Writer "VTEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Will some clever young Ph. D. please explain why it is that New Yorkers are so susceptible to changes in the weather? As soon as a thin coating of grimy ice spreads on our streets—as soon as the first snowflake whirls down from murky sky —people begin to brood on the money they owe and to decide that nobody them. If they have nothing tangible to worry about they worry about the imperfections of the NRA and the possibility of a Communist revolution. Everything is very, very sad in this city until the thermometer gees up. Where are those bouncing spirits who used to talk about the fun of riding in a one-horse open sleigh, anyway? Probably dead of pneumonia—and serves them right, too, your New Yorker decides as he shivers behind the panes of his radio-in-fested cab. New Clothes Help In view of the general listlessness of these days and pending our Ph. D.’s recommendations a few words on conquering the dumps are hereby offered. They may not bring you to the stage of dancing a fandango in Times Square, but they are better than brooding. Your degree of cheerfulness is partly dependent on how pleased you are with yourself, man being the most incurable of egotists. Scr* you had better go out and buy a new gown if you can possibly afford it. 'The number of women who have committed suicide in dresses they were wearing for the first time is very small indeed.) Another bit of materia medica to the spirit can be offered by a trip to the hairdresser and advice to that delighted man to give you anew way of doing your hair. Good, giddy nail polish should follow your manicure. From this point on there are two courses of procedure open. You can go calling or you can go to work. Armed with the self-assurance your trim appearance gives you, companionship should be an excellent tonic—but only if it is easily obtainable. To go on desperately calling telephone numbers after the first three have failed*to answer will only strengthen your conviction that everybody else in the world is out attending a glamorous, confettithrowing party from which you have been deliberately excluded. And then heaven help you, weather or no weather! Kousecleaning Is Sure Cure The second course is, perhaps, the mast sure-fire of the lot. Get a good grip on yourself and clean the hall closet. In extreme cases you may have to do the medicine cabinet, too. Sooner or later the discovery of a number of interesting relics of last summer will begin to make you forget about your miseries. You will find yourself sitting on the floor reading the diary you started when you were 15. glancing through the old photograph album, completely impervious to the world outside. It is our profound conviction that Pollyanna was a dreadful little prig. But just the same—before you have finished all your chores of correspondence and tidying up (which ought to have been done before—and you know it)—the snow will have stopped and you will find it is a very pleasant day.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South plays this hand at six diamonds. Even though West doesn't lead a club, how can declarer make his contract? AAK Q 7 ¥ 5 ♦ 10 8 4 A Q 10 6 5 3 AJ9 6 4 Al O 8 ¥KJ94 v ¥ A Q 10 ♦7 5 E 73 2 *KJ9 * ♦ J 2 Dealer a8 7 2 A5 3 2 ¥ 8 6 ♦AKQ 9 6 3 A A 4 Solution in next Issue. 1

BY W. E. MKENNEY Secretary American Bridge League 1 DON'T believe that even the good player pays enough attention to a cross-ruffing hand. Before starting to cross-ruff a hand, you must analyze it- completely. You can not look ahead simply to establishing a card in certain suit, but you must figure what is going to happen right down to the twelfth and thirteenth tricks. Today’s hand is an example. It was played in the final session of the national open contract pair championship event of the national tournament at Cincinnati. South, by bidding three suits, showed his partner a five-four-four distribution. With this information, North correctly took his partner to six odd. West’s opening lead was the queen of diamonds, which South won with the ace. Now the declarer, before playing to the next

trick, could see that two losing diamonds could be discarded on the ace and king of spades. However, that meant that three clubs in declarer's hand must be ruffed. Would this be possible without an overruff? The declarer's thoughts ran along these lines: West had bid spades. Not holding the ace or king, he must ha.ye at least five spades. a a tx HE had opened the queen of diamonds—this did not look like a singleton diamond, because, if West were short in a suit, it probably was hearts. To pick up trump would defeat the declarer's contract. Therefore, there was only one chance of making the hand, and that was to cross-ruff it out. The club finesse would not have to be taken unless East showed up with only one spade, in which case it might be necessary to finesse the club to get rid of the losing diamond in dummy. Declarer's proper play was to return the small diamond and win in dummy with the king. West now was marked with one more diamond. The ace and king of spades were played and when East followed to both, the declarer discarded two diamonds. He now returned a small club and refused to take the finesse, going up with the ace and returning a small club, which he ruffed in dummy with the three of hearts. The seven of diamonds was returned and declarer ruffed with the deuce. The six of clubs was played and ruffed in dummy with the four of hearts. A small spade was returned and. when East discarded the jack of clubs, he was marked with four hearts. Therefore, the declarer trumped, returned the queen of clubs, and trumped with the jack of hearts in dummy. East was forced to overtrump. and, while the declarer was forced to lose one heart trick, his contract was made. (Copyright. 1934, NEA Service. Inc.) Club Board to Meet Mrs. Samuel H.
