New York’s Old Houses Tell History Mansions Are Guide-Posts to Early Landmarks of the City. BY HELEN WORDEN Tim** sporial \\ril*r NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—The path that loads to old New York has many side-trails. They wind bark and forth in the cross streets of Lower Manhattan Island. Around Ora mercy Park, across St. Marks-in-the-Bouerie, through Washington Square, along the curving streets of Greenwich Village, zig-zagging down to Stuyvesant Square, turning East on the street where the white peacocks walked, dropping off at Tompkins Square and picking up the trail again at Pearl-st, we trace the early Landmarks of the city. The guide-posts are old houses along the way. Gramercy Park is rich in Victorian mansions with an historical twist to their past. The National Arts Club at 15 Gramercy Park is the former home of Samuel J. Tilden, the great statesman. Number 4 Gramercy Park West is the original home of Mayor James Harper, one of the three brothers who founded the firm of Harper Brothers, Publishers, in 1844. The fine, ornate old wrought iron lamps on the brown-stone steps show that a Mayor of New' York City has lived in this house. Mansion Sheltered Hewitts One block north of Gramercy Park at, No. 9 Lexington-ave, on the southeast corner of 22nd-st and the avenue, stands the .sober brown stone mansion which has sheltered three? generations of the Peter Coo'per Hewitt family. Its famous blue ballroom was the scene of many a social function in the days when 10 hoop-skirts filled a room. The early American homes that fringed St. Marks-in-the-Bouerie rapidly are disappearing. “Stuyvesant Row," a black iron-balcony trimmed section of quaint red brick houses was torn down this summer. A tall apartment, building has replaced Hie picturesque homes of old New York families. But Peter Stuyvesant’s Church lingers on. The green, tree-shaded triangle and the tall steeple of the old Dutch Governor’s Church bring beauty to a section of town now known as ‘ the Melting Pot of All Nations!” Some Homes F intouched Still untouched is the delightful row of Colonial brick homes on the north side of Washington Square. The ground they stand on belongs to Sailors Snug Harbor. Several old ladies who were born on Washington Square still are living in their first homes. Mrs. Robert de Forest, who was Miss Emily Johnston, has spent her entire life at No. 7 Washington Square North. She remembers the time when a pump in the southeast corner of the square furnished the entire water supply for the neighborhood! Stuyvesant Square has one or two original families left. They live in Mansard-roofed mansions on the south side. The two landmarks of Stuyvesant Square, however, are the Friends’ Seminary, built in 1860, and St. George’s Church, the fashionable Episcopal place of worship in the days of the elder J. P. Morgan. Tompkins Square Now Ghost Tompkins Sqpare is a ghost of its former self. Jews, Italians, Spaniards and Chinese swarm in the old Victorian homes that have remained standing. Pearl-st, fragrant with the aroma of spices and coffee exuding from importing and exporting warehouses. is rich in memories of Colonial Now York. George Washington. Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin and other great Americans have crossed the thresholds of (he few old houses left intact. For Pearl-st was the Fifth-av of Revolutionary days. The tiny red brick houses with their white marble steps and black iron grillings. were the homes of our first families.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY Times Special Writer A BRAND-NEW series of conversation pieces has been turned out by the milliners to top today’s social life that is more apt to revolve around public places than private ones. Between the hours of 5 and 7 the little cocktail hat will first be seen, but because it is the most flattering thing you can wear, it will accompany you to dinner parties, to the theater and to dancing in the smartest spots. And for another reason—because it matches the right degree of formality of dressy afternoon clothes, dinner costumes and evening tailleurs. nan n n u WITHIN I his one classification of the millinery collections there are varying degrees of finery and elegance. Even felt comes under the heading of dress-up ciothes when it takes the shape of a little pillbox. given plenty of surface interest with soutache braid and a complexion foil in a sheer handkerchief veil. There are fewer velvets than we expected, but those few are as new and different as Suzy’s ’•Piecrust,” a shirred velvet toque in two golden shades of brown.

Blanche et Simon es "Clinq au Sept," a supple antelope ca£ arrangement with emphasis on the long and narro-w contour, is undoubtedly the most original of the elegant silhouettes. It exposes the coiffure high at the sides and completely covers the hairline in back with a nape ruffle, banded with antelope accented in rhinestone squares. From the front it appears as simple as a beret. Just try to copy it before you try to forget it. ana OSTRICH feathers that appear as trimming fer daytime toques are swirled into pretty turbans of brilliant hue and decidedly expensive origin. The one sketched below shades to sapphire blue and adds more feathers at one side for opulence. We are glad to note the passing of the elastic. When the hats are so shallow that they need to be held on with something, that something is acknowledged in the original design of the hat. It may be a wide strip of felt that crosses the crown, disappears at the sides and ties in a bowknot at the back of the head. It may ce emerald velvet ribbon that laces through the top of a black velvet beret and is permanently knotted at the back. BUB IN the case of ‘he turbans the crown is deep enough to hug the head at the back but is so softly draped to one side that the effect is shallow in front. Lace is the sheerest fabric to be used for formal hats. A fragile lace tricorne with upcurled brim is most aristocratic with a three-cornered veil bordered in gold. Occasionally fur-trimmed hats are included in the dress-up millinery. The bow theme serves for a dramatic one of black chamois and white galyak.

Fine feathers arc a sign of greater formality in millinery. This shaded blue ostrich, turban will give dramatic em phasis to the cocktail or dinner dress.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY. W, E. M’KENNEY* Secretary American Bridge League OF all the different “systems” that are used today in contract bidding, probably that employed by the famous “Four Aces” should be of considerable interest to players. That team, consisting of Oswald Jacoby, David Burnstin \ Howard Schenken and Michael T. Gottlieb, was invincible for many years, and still maintains championship rank. And so it is their type of bidding which I shall try to describe in a new series of articles beginning today. The team has published a book entitled, “The Four Aces’ System of Bidding in Contract Bridge,” explaining in detail the methods which has won them so many championships. I shall pick out the outstanding conventions for this series. The first is the rule of the ace and king This convention show's the importance of the double raise of a partner's suit. For example, if you open the bidding with one spade and your partner bids three spades, what rule should guide you in inviting a slam bid? Let us take today's hand. South has a two suited hand, with sufficient strength for an original bid. The bidding is opened with one spade. North jumps to three spades North, in bidding three spades, says: “Partner, this is a forcing bid. I demand that you bid either three no trump or four spades, even though you have a minimum holding.” Now. when the original bidder bids another suit, or makes a jump bid in no trump, he is showing partner a desire to go further on the

Lambda Chi to Honor Officers at Bridge Party Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd D. Claycombe and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce H.

hand. In other words he is inviting ! a slam. tt t> a THE rule for inviting a slam, as outlined in the Four Aces System, is as follows: “Yov can invite a slam first, with j a balanced hand, if you can remove ! an ace from your hand and still have a sound bid or response, or second, with an unbalanced hand—that is a hand with a singleton or a void—when you can remove a j king from your hand and still have a sound bid or a response.” You will see that the rule governs the bidding from two angles, that of the bidder and that of the responder. Now, over North's three spade bid, South must make a response. If he bids four diamonds, this will be considered as a slam invitation by North. South's hand contains a singleton, so, if he can remove a king from his hand and still have a sound original bid, he would be justified in showing the second suit. As the hand is not strong enough for this, South can not bid the diamond suit, but must sign off with a bid of four spades. If the queen of hearts were a king, although South has only a minimum original bid. his favorable distribution shc/ald invite a slam with a bid of four diamonds. > (Copyright, 1935. NEA Service.
