Jewel Sales Are Sign of Prosperity Buying of Fine Articles Is Increasing in New York. RV HELEN WORDEN Time* Special Writer NEW YORK. N. Y., Oct. 16—An upward trend in the jewelry business is another sign of returning good times. The $450,000 diamond and emerald bracelet, which was shown around New York last spring, hasn't been sold yet, but the buying of fine diamond rings, bracelets and watches rapidly is increasing. Col. Edward H. R Green, son of the thrifty Hetty Green, is a consistent purchaser of fine diamonds, a jeweler told me yesterday. The Colonel treats them as investment. The jewels repo.se in a vault of a bank. Institute Buys Rare Stones Another buyer of rare jewels, principally unset stones. I was told, is the Rockefeller Institute. The jeweler thought this was purely for investment, purposes, though many of the gems are specimen pieces. Peggy Joyce is said to retain the record for owning the largest collection of Jewelry. The Dolly sisters are a close second. Among the important older jewel collections are those owned by the Vanderbilts, the Whitneys and the. Astors. Quality, beautiful but conservative settings and an indifference to current fashions distinguish the pieces. It is said that, the families whose chief source of income was from railroads put up jewelry as collateral during the depression.

Many of Old-Mined Variety Many of the diamonds were of the old-mined variety, which means that, they were mounted when diamonds were cut for size rather than brilliancy. New-mined stones came in around 1000. Rubies, sapphires and emeralds have been imitated successfully in synthetic stones, but this has not interfered with the sale of quality stones. Many of the important collections feature a certain gem. Mrs. George F. Baker goes in for emeralds. The cultured pearl definitely has cut into the sale of Oriental pearls. In many instances it is only by drilling a pearl and studying the filings under a, microscope that, the difference between a natural and a cultured pearl can be determined. Necklace Had Great Value The loveliest orental pearl necklace i ever saw was owned by Mrs. Spencer Penrose, Colorado Springs, The pearls were a rose tint and the center one about the size of a marble. The necklace was valued at several hundred thousand dollars. Mary Pickford, Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin are the big-time Jewelry buyers of Hollywood. They go in for quality merchandise. Barbara Hutton gets most of her Jewelry in Paris, though the jade necklace which her first husband, the late Prince Alcxi Mdivani. gave! her for a birthday present was purrhased through a local dealer. He j was only the agent,, however. A Chinese merchant really sold the jade. Finest Workmen in U. S. The finest platinum workmen and diamond setters are in this country because they get, the biggest wages here. Enameling work, such as that used on lipstick sets, cigaret cases and vanities, however, is usually finer if made abroad, and. before the new rate of exchange was much less expensive. The $450,000 emerald and diamond bracelet which went the rounds last spring had a large center stone which shot the price up. But. at. that, the more conservative dealers said any piece would have to be of phenomenal quality to warrant such a price. Sometimes the pieces are dramat./.i and. The $450,000 bracelet was a bracelet with a past. Its legend increased the value. Majority Carry Memories The majority of jewels carry memories. I know of one very wealthy man who asked his wife to give away all the jewelry she owned before he married her. When she did. he presented her with an entire new set of jewels. What would the Hope diamond be without its tragic story? Jewels with a history always are worth more. The diamond bracelets, earrings, brooches and tiaras owned bv Edith Rockefeller McCormick brought twice as much when they were auctioned off because she had owned them.

Shoes Had to Step to Catch Up to Color Vogue Set for Sport Clothes

— —— M*

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY Times Special Wi iter Sport clothes are the first to answer the call for colors. From the most tailored of golf dresses to swagger coats cut on the lines of an army officer's, the swing is to color contrast. Shoes had to step fast to catch up with the color vogue, but they made it. The smartest walking shoe of the season, an adaptation of a West Point shoe with big, brass eyelets and dress parade heel, is made of heavy bucko and comes in a variety of fall shades t.o match the colors of suit and coat tweeds. Forest green, burgundy and navy are offered in sport shoe collections along with black and brown. There is a brass eyelet bag to match, in as many color choices. The more blatant colors in footwear should stay in the country. Bright green or bright red sport shoes are no longer chic when ensemblrd with the spirited Tyrolian suits that soon are to be yodeling in our own countryside. Shoes of more subdued tones, especially those stained glass colors that have been adopted in sports clothes along with every other part of the mode are to be seen around town with more subtle tweeds and in rich contrast to black. Two shoe colors, wine and green, are linked with gloves and bags to make such contrasts consistent. Not even color can detract from the scientific design of an active sports shoe that the smartest sportswomen prefer for golf. The pair shown on this page play up three-section designing to give freedom and support to the feet. They have waterproof soles and riveted spikes for firm grip, and come in combinations of brown and white elk or in solid color, imported calfskin —leathers that will .stand more than one season of hard play in all sorts of weather.

Problems in Contract Bridge

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge Leaeue TTEHICH was the most interest- ™ ing of the 140 hands played in the Masters' individual? I suppose you would expect me to answer, some grand slam hand that was doubled or redoubled. But. strangely enough, the most fascinating hand to me was one where a pair failed to bid a game contract that was made and won a top score on the board. It was a bidding problem that confronted Dave Burnstine, one of the Four Aces, who by the way led the field for the first four sessions of the Masters’ Individual Tournament. but was overtaken on the very last board of the tournament by Os-

pions have to be in their decisions. The hand is truly a bidding problem. Mr. Burnstine sat in the East and his partner was Commander W. Liggett. In the North position was B. J. Becker. Philadelphia, who has established a remarkable record of victories for this year. Walter Pray, Indianapolis, held the South cards. a tt MR. BURNSTINE knew that Mr. Becker’s overcall of two clubs was a sound bid. After Mr. Burnstine’s two spade bid, Mr. Pray quickly bid three diamands and Commander Liggett, of course, was confronted with the problem of rebidding a four-card suit. But his partner had made a free bid and the high card strength in his hand justified a rebid. North passed and Mr. Burnstine in the East realized that North was not entirely out of the bidding, but

was waiting further developments, and that he probably had support for diamonds. Also it must be a strong diamond suit that Mr. Pray held, as he had stepped in at the three level. At this point Mr. Burnstine figured that, if he bid four spades, North and South undoubtedly would bid five diamonds. Due to his great length in spades, Mr. Burnstine felt that he and his partner had but little defense against the five diamond contract. It might be set, but not over one trick, and doubled this would be only 100 points. However, if East and West could make four spades, even though they did not bid the game, they would be plus 170 points. So Mr. Burnstiine made the very smart decision of refusing to bid game, also figuring that South now would not bid four diamonds for fear of driving his opponents to a game contract. That is exactly what happened. South passed and East and West played the hand at three, spades, making four, for plus 170 points on the board. Winning a board by refusing to bid game is indeed an unusual situation, iCopvrisht. IP?S. NEA Service. Inc.)
