law should be expanded to make it applicable to bridge and anything else that distracts attention from the gam». It is not bridge when four people can‘t think of anything: to talk about and shuffle and flip cards arourid®* as a nesessary interlWide between drinks. For a game of bridge it is not necesâ€" sary for the players to be abl to repeat the conventions backwards or know the Culb:rtson system like a Presbyterian knows his catechism, but it is necessary for the players to reâ€" member that an ace will only tak» cne trick: to be able to count 13 without removing their shoes; and to remember what happens to b> trump long enough to play one hand. Refreshments art important. _ The game should not be interrupted by dainty sandwich:s and cake. Just put some crackers and cheese, with opâ€" tional facilities for liquidation, on A THURSDAY : PEBRUARY 27TH. 1941 Having reviewed some of bridge‘s many imitations, we will describe one variation of the rcal thing. First there must be a certain amount of seclusion. Four is bridge company and more than one quartette is just as discon>:rting as more than two youn3 peopl> on a chesterfield. Neither is it bridge when m>n mix it up with prize fighting and political arguments. Pridge does not mix with anything. It must be taken straight. Only one absorbing job can be don> well at one time. They have made it illegal to try @nd Grive a car and hug a girl at one and the sam> time. That wWe expect even a sporting writer to recegniz the differ>nce betwe‘n the intellectual recreation called _ bridge and the insane pastim>, even when commercialized, that is called hearts. The only .explanation must be that the Sporting Extras man must hav> mistaken ofée@ of the many imitations for, the grandcgame of declaring yourâ€" self and then trying to make good. To sum up just a few of these imâ€" itations, a soctal cvening with the girls along is not bridge. There are too many absorbing topics of conversation such as schools, children, dressées and movies, for tg women to take up bridge. You may deal out 13 cards to four people and play the cards alterâ€" natelyâ€"but itâ€"isâ€"not bridge. B We were d:eply moved by a heresy Ted Reeve the other day. He said "hearts" was a .bettr game than "bridge". We were astounded. We expocted a ccrtain amount â€" of reasonable discrimination from all men in a democratic country where educaâ€" tion is free and cxperience can be bought.

Timing The Very TI Douce says that he will march with Germany to the end. We don‘t know whether that is â€"a plea or a promise. j The timing, however, is interesting. It was a surprise sp;ech put on the air 24 hours before Hitler‘s scheduled speech. The â€" semiâ€"literary chap plays irâ€" ratically but always with imazination. Fifty thousand finesses that failed Wwill never cure him of imagining he can snare a king with a queen, whether the manccuvre is necessary or not.

Pleasing variety can be given the game by bringing toa:ther say a lawyer a doctor, a business man and a semiâ€" literary chap.

Even a good forthright paint job takes craftsmanâ€" ship and care and no slapâ€"dash work will sufflice. And a refinishing of hardwood â€"or a pickling process takes pains and patience. =~Having accomâ€" plished a professional finish, you can let theâ€"picce go at that,;, or else <you can go on from: there and make it a work of â€"art, the sort of thing the deâ€" corators go in for. The newest thing in decorated furâ€" niture isn‘t new at all but is a revival of the oldâ€"time crafit of decoupage, practiced in the 18th century by the Putch, French and Italians. That is the fancy word for cuttingâ€"andâ€"pasting, something every woman likes to do. Decoupage, raised to its highest deâ€" gree, was the subject of a fascinating exhibit we saw recently it presented furniture ‘decorated in decoupage by Miss Caroline Duer, a versatile and interesting person in her own right triumph, and we moderns haven‘t gotâ€" ten so far away from our basic womanâ€" liness that we don‘t enjoy simple useful achievements lots more thanâ€" we like politics and business. Making over old furniturevis a <particularly satisfying job because the results ar> so ussful and so apparent. Decoupage is the formal word to describe the decoration on this chest. Actually it is achieved by the use of cutout walilpaper motifs glued on together to form a design of its own, then shellacked to give it a durable surface, The designs on the chest and mirror are cut from the wallpaper shown in the background,. It is a charming way to decorate an old piece of furniture, Miss Carsoline Duer originated this piece, The chest in this pic with classic motifs t soft powder blue, the Craftsmanship Decoupage Is a Type of Decoration You Achieve With Scissors ard Glueâ€"Othér Ideas for Painted Fuarniture.

The results were truly charming and suggest innumerable ideas for a clever lady to wox‘k out. Technically, the job is aCfomplished by ne'ltly gluing the cutâ€"outs inâ€"the design planned on the furniture surface,, sandpapering _ it slightly first; then when the glue is dry, cover with clear shellac over the whole surface to give it a durable finish.
