Sign-Off Bid Sometimes Is Hard Hurdle May Be Constructive When Properly Used, but It Also Is Confusing. Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League Some players find It difficult to distinguish between a constructive bid and sign-off bid. There are times when a sign-ofT bid can be constructive. For example, in today’s hand when North bids two diamonds, South’s rebid of two spades is a sign-ofT bid, but at the same time it conveys certain information to partner. It lets him know that his original bid was sound and was based on a five-card suit.

Today’s Contract Problem •South is playing the contract at three no trump The opening spade lead is won with the king. Should declarer make the diamond finesse Immediately?

North is justified in carrying the contract to four spades.

In the play of the hand I was surprised to find a number of good players who failed to make their contract simply because they were careless. They boldly led out three rounds of trump and, naturally, who ]ast got into the lead, he could see that tl e only way to defeat the contract was to switch to a heart. The proper procedure is quite simple. The opening club lead is won with the ace. Two rounds of trump are taken with the ace and king, and then a club ruffed. Now declarer leads out his diamonds, hoping that East, who holds the high spade, also has three diamonds. On the fourth diamond, when East trumps in, declarer discards a lasing heart. In other words, he gets rid of two losers on one trick, reducing his loss to three tricks, and thereby making his contract. iCopyrlKht, 1935, NEA Service. Inc.)

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY Debutantes brought anew interpretation of formality to the Velvet Ball at the Waldorf-As-toria, New York. In some ways it was a revival of the high hopes of the nineties that made a cotillion a scene of splendor and magnificence, though this season’s debutantes insisted that the cotillion, with its gold chairs and accessories for favors ‘‘was fun.” It was as if the modern ingenues of top families had thought better of big sister's indifference to the tenets of ceremony. ‘‘Maybe we’re missing something in not trying out the ritualistic dance of our grandmothers. If we don’t like it we can always go back to the tango,” might have been their logic. Their wide-eyed appreciation of the crystal chandelier and velvet setting, their buzzing excitement on seeing the precious jewels of great families flashing against aristocratic decolletages, their almost naive attentiveness to the fashion shop—as if they had never seen a fashion show before —brought a freshness to the party, that, if it was not spontaneous, at least proved that the new debs are good actresses. a a a IF great balls are really the swan songs of vanishing capitalists.

Tired Feet Are Problem for Expert Troubles No Longer Can Be Blamed on Shoes Alone. BY ALICIA HART No longer are foot troubles blamed exclusively on poorly fitted shoes and too short stockings. These matters deserve attention, of course, but, generally speaking, a woman whose feet are tired and aching most of the lime ought to consult a specialist. She owes this to her health as well as her beauty. If your feet are uncomfortable you won't enjoy walking, one of the best beauty exercises in the w-orld. Golf, tennis—even riding—will be a t irden instead of a joy. Why not learn something about your feet and intelligent ways to care for them right now before you start out to complete your winter shoe wardrobe? It may be that your arches are weak. If you have one of the many symptoms (swollen ankles, fatigue after standing, pains across the instep, a clumsy feeling in feet when you get up in the morning are a few of them), better consult a foot specialist and get his advice about the kind of shoes you ought to wear. You should not try to cut corns yourself. If you can’t get to a foot doctor, maybe your druggist can suggest a medicated pad that will lessen the pressure of your shoe on the corn and perhaps eventually cure it. Don’t underestimate the importance of toe and foot grooming. Toenails ought to be clipped or cut straight across (never rounded or pointed), and the rough edges smoothed down with an emory board. After your bath, push cuticle back with an orange stick. Keep a bottle of soothing balm or lotion handy and don’t neglect to use foot powder.

Petaled velvet accessories were designed by Suzanne Talbot as favors for the debutantes. Sketched are the gloves , cape, fan and hair wreath.

Back Your Husband, Is Jane’s Word Wise Mate Wins Praise for Standing by His Wife. Every one knowi th* help tht come* from atinr a problem to a friend: Put rour troubles In a letter to Jane Jordan today. Dear Jane Jordan—l have a mother-in-law who hates me, who has insulted me and ordered me out of her house when I didn't have any place to go. Yet she comes to my house and tells my husband I don't

know how to raise our baby and that the house is dirty. My husband, bless his heart, takes sides with me, but here is what I can not understand. He tells my mother, who has been wonderful to as, not to come to our house when his mother is here in order to keep the peace.

Jane Jordan

Don't you think he is being unkind in return for the things mother has done for us? His mother never gave us a thing. He says his mother is a tyrant. Then I say why bother about her? What do you think? MARCIA. Answer —I do not think your husband is unkind at all—only wise and diplomatic. It is no reflection on your mother when he asks her to avoid conflicting with his mother who is a tyrant. It is like telling her to get off the track when the train is coming. I am surprised that you and your mother did not make this decision for yourselves without prompting from him. What sensible person wants to expose himself to the onslaughts of a tyrant? Why stick your neck out when a headsman with an ax is waiting to lop it off? It is all very well to stand on principle if there is anything to be gained by doing so, but in this instance all you would get from the meeting of these two rival mothers is the satisfaction of throwing the welcome mother into the unwelcome mother's face, thereby rousing the later to fresh fury. I imagine that by now your husband is so worn out that he would rather face a machine gun than one of his mother's tirades, and no sympathetic person can blame him. He has stood by you. Now it is your time to stand by him. ASSEMBLY CLUB~TO MEET WEDNESDAY Indianapolis branch, State Assembly Women’s Club, is to meet at 10:30 Wednesday with Mrs. Julias Travis, 3107 College-av.
