Women in Business Courted ‘Gold Digger’ Type of Man Woos for Favors. BY HELEN WELSHIMER Tlidm Writer TN days of old when knights wore * * steel blue armor no woman doubted but that it was love that ..her suitor wanted. She had nothing else to offer. She • did not serve him a cherry pie or a Welsh rarebit prepared in the castle kitchen by her own jeweled fingers.

She did not own a hat store or act as secretary to a bank president from whom a good-looking young man might want a favor. Oh, yes. when a gay young knight with an impudent plume and a nice suit of armor asked her to sit in his box at the lists it was because he wanted to feel that she was near. But now—

Miss Welshimer

Vida L. Moore, well-known young business woman executive, writing in the current number of Serenade, discusses the newest thing in suitors. He is the "business woman's wooer.” He doesn't want a woman's hand in marriage. But he wants her voice raised in his behalf. He doesn't care if she can broil a steak or if her curl is natural. But he wants her to use her influence to bring business his way. Many Seek Favors In order to get his various feminine acquaintances in the mood where they think they are acting for—well—if not love's sweet sake, at least for friendship's sake, he must take each woman to dinner, to the theater, admire her frocks and eyebrows, and convey the impression that the whole day has been a ' Journey to the candle-lighted table where he is smiling into her eyes. It's partially the truth. But leave love out! It isn't a game of hearts. If the young man wants a contract from a business concern he will cultivate women who have contracts to give. If he is an author he may cultivate the publisher's secretary. If he has publicity to sell, newspaper girls may be his special field. Not all the men who need contracts. who write books, or act as publicizers of grand opera singers have this motive, of course But there is an army of them who do, according to Miss Moore. Balance of Power Changes Once upon a time there were women who were called gold diggers—women who used their charm and beauty to further their business careers. The balance of power rested in men's hands then But today, when a woman has as much influence as a man. some of the men are proving that the only reason they weren't business-diggers before was because women had no business to give. Both men .and women are human beings. And men may be just as feline as their curved contemporaries. Women may be Just as susceptible as their trousered brothers. For you can tell a man that he is wonderful and he will raise your salary or buy an egg beater for his wife, if egg beaters are your line. Or a man may tell a girl that she has a provocative mouth or dark hair that should be combed to reveal, instead of conceal, her ears, and she Will order ten dozen pairs of shoes, if it's shoes he is trying to sell. Oh. yes, a girl who has something to oiler in business may have luncheon dates, tea dates and theater dates. She may see the boat races at Ponglikeepsie and the Army-Navy game. But it takes all the feminine Intuition she has to discern whether or not the man wants her heart or her influence. He usually lets her know. Subtly, of course. She thinks she is conferring a royal favor by offering the thing he bought two $8 theater seats to obtain. No, business women's wooers can't even offer synthetic affection. The only way a man can prove to a woman that it is the pleasure of her company he wants is to keep business out. And business, as any man will tell you in an unguarded moment. comes first with a man.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South plays this hand at six no trump. West opens the Jack of clubs, which South wins. South leads the king of diamonds and West makes the mistake of taking It with his ace. He returns a club. Now can you see how declarer must play to make his six no trump contract?

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League IN today s hand, if South had bid for a small slam, at no trump, West naturally would cash his ace and king of diamonds and thus defeat the contract. But when the hand was played by Mrs. A. C. Hoffmeier of Cleveland, newly elected president of the woman's auxiliary of the American Bridge League, West opened a small diamond against her and, availing herself of a favorable opening, she made seven odd in the following manner: West's opening lead of the four of diamonds was won by Mrs. Hoffmeier in her own hand with the ten of diamonds. She ran off seven club tricks in dummy. What East discarded is immaterial. From her own hand she discarded

a small heart and all her diamonds. West followed with one club and then discarded the deuce of hearts, the six of spades, and three of diamonds. On the seventh club, West felt the pinch, but finally let go the nine of spades. Mrs. Hoffmeier then led a small spade from dummy and won with the ace in her own hand, on which West's queen dropped. This of course set up dummy's ten on which Mrs. Hoffmeier could discard* her losing nine of hearts. If West had discarded a heart, Mrs. Hoffmeier would have won three heart tricks, while, if the ace of diamonds had been discarded, dummy’s jack would have been good. If West had opened the queen of hearts, instead of a small diamond, Mrs. Hoffmeier could have made a small slam by the same squeeze. (Copyright, 1934, by NEA Service, Inc.)
