Careerless Women Also Shun Homes Jobless and Childless ‘Out’ as Often as Working Sisters. BY GRETTA PALMER, Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—A very neat point on the married woman and her career is taken by Rita S. Halle, writing in the New York Wellesley Club News. She now has the floor. "I have a friend,” she writes, “who persists that ‘woman’s place

is in the home' and who is prepared to hold her ground with book and verse against all comers. When she belepho ne s me during the day her invariable greeting is: " How lucky I am to find you in! I just took a chance.’ And my invari able reply, But I am practically always at home up to 3 in the

afternoon,’ has never registered yet; for, according to her code, any woman who has what is elegantly termed a ‘career’ must always be out somewhere neglecting her womanly duties. ‘‘Yet I would not think of trying to get her between 10 and 5 or 6 of any day. She is invariably out, either doing something really important, like finding just the right shade of ‘nubia’ or ‘sunray’ stocking to go with her new evening slippers or sitting at the feet of the latest lecturer from across the seas or just relaxing over a bridge table or a matinee. Housewives Less Domestic “All of which are grand things to do. But they are not ‘staying at home,’ and I insist that they are not as domestic really as checking diet lists in a hospital or shirts in a laundry or as maternal as wiping noses in a day nursery. Nor do they keep one at home as much as being tied to a typewriter by an editor's contract; nor are they any more worthy than making chemical analyses in a laboratory or directing programs in a radio studio. “My friend probably would be as appalled to find out how little time she really spends on her household as I was when I attempted, a few years ago, to answer a questionnaire on the subject. This questionnaire brought out that many whose sole job it was to run a home spent no more time than did others who managed both a home and a job.’’ There are exceptions, of course. There is a maidless mother of two small and agile children, who probably orders her stockings over the telephone, never quite catches up on her darning and has forgotten that such things as matinees exist But the wife whose children have attained to school age and the wife who has no children at all are rarely in a position to look down their noses at the working women on the plea that woman's place is in the home. For they themselves are hardly ever there. Woman of Leisure Is Novelty It has always seemed unreasonable to regard the modern woman with a job as if she were a revolutionary, breaking with the traditions of her sex. For there has never been a time, until very rercently, w'hen the middle-class woman did not Work, and work hard. Before household tasks were lightened by labor-saving machinery, before families were made smaller by modern knowledge, the average housewife worked as hard as a stevedore. There was no talk oi the possibility of her going out of her home to find work—she had more than enough to occupy her by her own hearth. It is the woman of leisure who is a novelty—the woman who. without enormous wealth or the patents of nobility, is still relieved of the burden of hard work, which was the lot of her kind in every generation up till now’. It is she. with her endless shopping and movie-going, who has introduced an innovation into the rhythm of the women's history—and not a happy innovation, either, if her general discontent is any fair measuring 6tick. Womans place ceased to be the home as soon as her traditional chores moved out of it into the factory. The women who have followed their work to whatever institution it might lead them are leadine the life of balanced work and play which has been woman's lot at all times, at hough they certainly are not at home. But neither are the jobless butterflies. Taffeta “In Swim” Taffeta bathing suits are in vogue with their little ballet skirts standing out stiffly way, way above the knee! They are barebacked and consist of straps over the shoulders or merely a loop around the neck.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem North ts declarer at six spades, doubled by West. It looks as though he must lose a spade and a diamond. When West is in the lead with the ace of diamonds, he fails to play a spade. Can you make the contract?

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WE expect a mispiay to cost us one or two tricks, but in today’s hand the play of just one wrong card—not the wrong suit, but just the wrong card of a suit—cost the declarer four tricks. Aft'T Fr.uTi had bid clubs and spades, I believe that North should t.y to. - the no ;rum.;, instead of bidding the diamonds. South had told his partner that there was no real advantage in becoming the declarer at no trump. However, when this hand was played. South became the declarer and West opened the seven of diamonds. The jack was played from dummy and held the trick. Here is where the declarer made his mistake—he led the jack of hearts from dummy, while the proper play from dummy would have been a small heart If a small heart is played, the ten spot is finesssed. West wins with the king and returns a diamond.

DECLARER then can win with the ace in dummy, and lead another heart, going up with the ace in his own hand. All the hearts and spades are good, the club finesse can be taken safely and six odd are made. However, when the jack of hearts was played, East covered with the queen and South was forced to win with the ace. Now he either must lead the heart suit right out, or go over to dummy with a spade, which would take out his only entry n dummy. The only remaining play is to lead the ten of hearts and hope that the king will drop the nine. However, West won with the king and returned a small diamond. The declarer now finessed the nine, and East won the trick with the ten. East immediately returned a diamond, which knocked out dummy’s ace. The heart had to be led, but West won with the nine, cashed his king and queen of diamonds, and set the contract one trick. South should not have played the jack of hearts from dummy unless he held the nine and ten in his own hand. With this combination of cards, always lead the small card and finesse the ten spot.
