it is an undisputed fact that luck at
cards will run with certain players in
straight deals at any Kiime, .Such luck
is called "(rambler's luck."
Therefore, about twenty-fivo years
ago, Mr. CaKsius M. Paine devised and
patented an apparatus for playing
duplicate whist. This device is a tray
for holding a deck of cards dealt Into
four hands. ICach table playing is
allotted a certain number of these
trays, and the hands, after being play
ed, are returned to their original com
partments In the trays, which are then .the novice will end with failure.

shows each one's judgment, observa

are brought into use, and Proves the
truth and appropriateness of the quo

it is one man's weakness that proves
the other man's opportunity. With
exactly the same amount of value ir.
each hand, the condition is the flame

persons the same tools and materials
with which to moke a given article.
In either case, the expert will -turn
out a finished product or score, and

those seated toward the south, east
and west do likewise.
This form of play was adopted by

and also when Auction liridge super

Questions and Answers.
C. What is a fourchctte?
A. A fourchctte (fork) means the
ing "hands of equal value." By this eaids next above and below the can
scheme, the experts in many cities in
the United States arc playing ldcnli
.cal hands of Auction for charities. The
uuditing of all score cards at a cen
tral station will reveal the best player
The plan is this: Two decks of cards
are so marked that twenty-four hands
may be dealt, twelve from each pack,
and these hand are played in turn by
different players. While this scheme
is very ingenious, It will not be Inter
led. Nine is led, and the next player
holds ten and. eight. The correct play
is to cover the nine with the ten and
force the eight 'up in value.
Q. What is meant by forcing dig
cards? ; '
A. When declarant finds he hna n

generally should lead trumps, making
the adversaries discard, in hopes that
