ruffed the opening diamond in dummy, drawn a few rounds of Trumps for practice and then led a low spade. Either opponent could win and lead anything. South would simply win the trick and run off the rest of the trumps. On the last trump lead West would be squeezed out of a spade or a heart and South would make his slam that way.

I call both plays unusual, but it should be routine for any top player to try one of them. He should realise that he had reached a mighty the slurp and make every effort to make t even though this effort involved giving up a chance for an over- trick.

QINCE `the'embargo

American Fashions some months

back, there has been a lot of nonsense talked about dresses that part at the seam the moment you slip them on, suits that may look good but the buttons pop off, fabrica that shrink, and the abundance of frills.

That was in the spring.

Yet today

the American summer stuff is being snapped up in every store,

There is not a yard of dacron to be found in Oxford Street and even British manufacturers are turning out clothes that look New York even

if the swing tag gives the secret away.

Which all goes to show that the American Look looks like being a wow this auturan, and that there is an eager market here for the rest of the Seventh Avenue designers,

their

I knew the quick' talkers would eat words, anyway, even if they did just mean to be patriotic, because in my wardrobe I have a delicious 'cotton dress bought in California three years ago. And all the buttons are on:

SIMPLE

The newest of the designers to arrive here and the first to show her "fall" collection is Anne Fogarty.

Anne Fogarty until now has been to the New Yorker what a little black number should be to the Londoner: the well-dressed understatement.

A top designer for the all-American collage girl and the teenager, her reputation in the States was founded on simplicity, which over there means an immaculate shirtwaist, a little slip of a chemise, and the knowing way to use embroidery when going formal.

Her showing, put on by Horrockses who are making her clothes over here, has lots of white wool and jersey for evening.

Ferhaps the party dress to take the biggest bow, (something worth noting when you think of all those crusty buyers in the front rows) was a little black satin dance dress, the top scooped out into a deep decolletage, the skirt a bell shape and the waist cinched with a wide black belt.

Decorations worn: just one bow at the neck.

STARCHED

de-giri

Then there were lots of Doris Day dresses in which one always imagines the New Yorker housewife dashing to the supermarket, pebble tweed with a starched collar and cuffs.

Most glamorous was the lame shirtdress for night: designed maybe for a teenager but cer- tainly wearable when you're getting on for 30-full-skirted and with short sweater sleeves made out of jersey threaded with sparkling gold, another longsleeved version in white brocade with a lurex filigree design, (Both proving, I feel, all that glitters is not cold).

Anne Fogarty fabrics have already been faithfully reproduced by top British mills and others are being imported from the States.

The collection, which showed around two dozen dresses, will come in all the marvellous American in-between sizes and will appear in the

EFORE the London season scampers any further, I present my idea of the new-style deb. Claire Peploe, a blonde 18-year-old who has cornflower blue eyes and a sparkling intelli- gence,

A blanket of floppy golden hair is her only resemblance to the old- style debutante.

For the first big bali she wore a classical white Grecian dress instead at the customary bouffant tulle crinoline.

For the rest of the season she plans to get by on a well-planned wardrobe of two dresses, a couple of suits and one other ball gown-cut along the same slim lines as this version -in olive green chiffon,

No jewellery, no make- up-but a liking for ex pensive scent. Pictured left in Oxford, where she is reading Modern Lan guages, the 1960 deb. wears her white jersey ball gown, from the Cresta": shops,
