Hitler Rule of Fashions Faces Anger What Women Wear Can Hardly Be Important to Government. BY GRLTTA PALMER Tim* Writer TWTEW YORK. Feb. 22.—Fashions. you may imagine. are numbered among the frivolous things of life—of enthralling interest to lightheaded creatures like you and me but of no more serious concern to statesmen than chocolate eclairs or novels of young love. Well, you

would be vastly mistaken. ‘ln Berlin, a few years ago. so glittering and alive,” runs a report from that city, “everybody looks serious, almost grim. The women wear nondescript clothes, fiatheeled shoes or high rubber boots. All-Ger-man dress es, hats, shoes—in fact, every single article of worn-

an's dre.-s is a matter for government attention. Fashions are to be nationalized, just as everything else is.” One would think that Herr Hitler would have enough on his mind without worrying about whether 1 the German woman wears chiffon or service-weight stockings, that he could let the skirt-length situation drift until more pressing matters had received his august attention, j But he is not alone in this curious modern preoccupation with dress on the part of governments. A recent article on Russia which appeared in the Nation tells us: •'The government has ordered the textile industry to turn out thinner satins and finer silks. Even cotton goods must be of better grade. •Peasant women refuse to wear coarse prints.’ says a Moscow daily. The women of a North Caucasus kolhoz recently wrote an open letter j to Stalin. They demanded goods that would ‘make the soul rejoice.’” Nobody is going to be bewlidcrea by the fact that both Hitler and Stalin want their customers to dress in home-made goods. It is a purely patriotic and nationalistic move. Such campaigns have been put over before —notably by clever little Empress Eugenie, who, almost singlehanded, revived the silk industry of France. Directly Opposed Edicts The thing that is puzzling is the demand for regimentation of fashion on the part of Germany and the apparent loosening up on the matter in Soviet Russia. Granted that the good little Nazi girl promises never to wear a garment which has not been made m Germany, then what further inter- j est has the government in the details of her wardrobe? Have the members of the Nazi council discovered some subtle relationship between high waists and high morals? Is there something in the j wearing of flatheels which makes a woman a worthier citizen? Docs crepe de chine affect a girl’s psychology in the direction of patriotism. when mousseline de scie might influence her to oppose the state? j Jabots Are Flimsy Frops If this true, fashion writers and designers would like to be let in on it. For all we know, we may be unleashing a dangerous force into the world when we put fifty million women into turned-up brims and let j nature take it;, course. Anew fabric might make women revolt against the alimony laws: anew silhouette might cause an overthrow of j the government. But we do not think that either! Hitler or Stalin has information! closed to the couturier. Civilizations have been built and overthrown by a public whose women wore anything they pleased. There is no reason to suppose that forcing a woman out of one kind of hat and into another is ging to do anything but make her good and mad. A jabot or cowl neckline is a pretty flimsy prop on which to rest a government. House Ransacked.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South is playing the hand at three no trump. West opens a small diamond, which is won in dummy with the jack. The declarer makes the mistake of' leading the wrong heart from dummy. Can you tell how many tricks he could make if the right heart is led, and how many tricks he can make after the misplay?

The hand was sent to me by Arthur P. Washburn of New York. I must admit that it would take rather optimistic bidding to arrive at a contract of six hearts with the North and South hands. However, Mr. Washburn failed to tell me how they proceeded to this final contract, although the bidding might have gone South one heart, West two clubs. North double, South three hearts. North three no trump. South four hearts, and North six f hearts. West's opening lead is the king of clubs. East drops the jack, | and South wins the trick with the ace. Figuring that East holds the singleton jack of clubs and that the only way to make the contract is to find East with the king of diamonds (otherwise there will not be enough entries in dummy to finesse the hearts twice as well as the diamonds. South deliberately should lead out the three of diamonds. a a a AST wins with the king and returns a spade, which dummy win% with the king. The nine of ! hearts is returned from dummy. East covering with the jack and South winning with the queen. The nine of diamonds is led by South and won in dummy with the jack. The six of hearts is returned | from dummy, and when East plays ! the eight, the ten is finessed, holding the trick. The ace of hearts is cashed, picki ing up East's king, a club being j discarded from dummy. West dis- ! cards a spade. Three more rounds of hearts are taken. West lets go three clubs, and three clubs are discarded from dummy. East discards three diamonds. The ace of diamonds is played and West is squeezed. If he drops the queen of clubs, declarer’s four | of clubs will be good, while if he lets go the jack of spades, the declarer will win the last two tricks in dummy with the ace and seven of spades.
