New Type Art Liked by Women Modern Painters Praised Most by Feminine Museum Critics. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor IF a modern artist could select his critics, he would do well to choose women. That's the impression that John Herron Art Museum officials and guards get after observing visitors. Wilbur D. Peat, director, says women are more lenient in their judgment of modern art, which to

many laymen is mere color. "Women are more patient in studying out the technique, and usually arrive at an understanding before a man,” Mr. Peat says. ‘‘Most men have an idea of what they like, and are harder to sway to anew technique.”

Fred Drinkut, former police captain, now museum guard, admits that he thinks women are better judges. "Women don’t hesitate to ask questions about the intention of artists. After Mr. Peat or some other artist makes an explanation, they get at least a glimmer of understanding,” he says. Husbands and wives frequently disagree, he explains. "Nine times out of ten, I agree with the wife. Couples usually buy pictures the wife favors.” Museum attendants agree that older women seldom transfer their appreciation from the old masters to the moderns. During a recent exhibition of Picasso, there also was a gallery hung with old favorites. The older women hurried through Picasso's exhibit, but lingered among works of older artists. Young women’s interests, however, were attracted by the bizarre effects of the moderns. n n u Often women of the same social standing come to exhibits without notions of what they like. "Almost invariably they have different tastes,” Mr. Peat says. "So you see, it is difficult to say what type appeals to a person. Individual reactions can’t be classified. "Generally women like a type already accepted. They like something with which they can live—something not too startling in color, subject or idea.” What is the artist trying to do? is the question most frequently asked Mr. Peat. His explanations usually .send the visitor back to the picture, but whether he likes it -depends upon his taste—something soothing or something stimulating?

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League DUE to numerous requests, I am presenting today the famous “Four Deuces” hand. Thanks must be given Com. Winfield Liggett Jr. of New York, who developed the hand for me. Back in 1930, when the National Bridge Tournament was being held in Cleveland, I was broadcasting the results and introducing the winners. Tom Manning, the sports announcer, was assigned the task of announcing a bridge hand in sports fashion, and so we prepared today's hand.

It is a funny hand, because it can. be played so that the last four cards in declarer's hand are deuces, provided East tries to protect the clubs. Three of the last four tricks are won with deuces, and even the last trick is won by the play of a deuce. Here’s the play of the hand. The queen of diamonds lead is won in dummy with the ace; declarer discards the four. A small spade is played, declarer wins with the ace and East shows out, discarding a diamond. Now the five of hearts is led, and dummy’s queen finessed. A small spade is returned and the jack finessed. The five of diamonds is then trumped in dummy with the five of spades. Dummy’s ace of hearts is cashed, declarer discarding the three. The nine of spades is played, declarer winning with the king. Declarer leads the ten of spades and discards a heart from dummy. The seven of spades is cashed; East discards the six of clubs; dummy the eight of hearts; and West, endeavoring to protect his four clubs to the nine spot, discards the jack of hearts. At this point declarer is left with four deuces, dummy has four clubs, while East has the king of hearts, the jack of diamonds, and the king-jack of clubs. The deuce of spades is led. East decides to protect his king-jack of clubs and discards the jack of diamonds. This establishes the deuce of diamonds, which now is led. East, still trying to protect the clubs, discards the king of hearts. Now the deuce of hearts is led, which forces East to discard the jack of clubs. This leaves declarer with the deuce of clubs, which is led and won in dummy with the ace. iCooyrieht. 1936. by NEA Service. Inc.)
