gate a Second before the trainman
slammed" it shut and, running along
the platform, barely managed to
swing aboard the last car.
'Well, well, young man." greeted
his client, who was standing In the
vestibule of the train, "you somehow
manage to be just always an time.
Xever early, but never late. But let's
find a seat. I want to talk with you.
I m afraid you and that partner of
yours are going to make an awful
botch of my house."
Botch!" exploded the architect as
he slipped into the seat beside the
client. "Botch! Say. we won't make
'botch' of your house, but if you
keep on making changes and changes
you'll., nave a house, the first thing
you know, that will resemble a jig
saw puzzle!"
'Changes?" questioned the client.
'Yes. changes," snapped the archi
tect. . "Here you come into the office.

My dear sir, there is one thine- that a
client should not do. What is that?
well, to question his architect in
matters of proportion, scale, arrange
ment of rooms.
"Now, you must look at the bnn.
that I. have designed for you as an
Individual possession. Each room in
your house is to perform certain
functions in your everyday life. Each
room ljas certain requisites demanded
of it such as adequate door and win
dow openings,, proper location of fix
tures in kitchen and bathrooms, suf- '
ftcient wall surface for furniture and
sufficient closet space. Now an
swner may have certain fixed ideas
is to just what he wishes. The archi
tect, through a careful study of the
plans, the manner in which each room
is to be utilized, has arranged the
wail surfaces, fixtures, closets and
the like in a manner in which he
thinks they will prove of the most
service. Now you come alone: and
Serhand a change, a change little as
5"bu may think it to be, but it proves
disrupting. You change closets in
yur own bedroom, and the result is
that the space the architect has al
lotted for the placement of the bed
Is spoiled. - A. door is knocked into
the wall between one of the bedrooms
and the bath, even though the en
trance to the bed chamber is in close
proximity to the bathroom. And
what is the result? Fixtures are
crowded: the bathroom is apparently
maoe smaller ana unsatisfactory."
"But that's only a minor change."
argued the client.
"True." assented the architect:
"minor in so far as regarding the one
door, but when things are multiplied,
the plan completely changed, it proves
to be an altogether different proposi
tion, xne one great fault with most
people who build is that after com
missioning the architect to prepare
plans and specifications they expect
to receive finished drawings in the
course of a few days. The average
architect who specializes in domestic
architecture is given too little time
to devote to studying the problem and
talking the matter over with his
client, "and when the house is in the
course-of construction the owner in
variably suggests improvements, if
such they may be termed, which
should have been discussed during the
preparatory stages of the plans.
"Now, beauty is harmony, whether
It is applied to line, form or arrange
ment. The thing to do is for one to
discover through study and the
architect does this what will tend
toward beauty or harmony in so far
as the" person or individual is con
cerned and for what function the
room is to be utilized. Too many
houses have been completely spoiled
and it takes very little in the way
of a poorly studied or a poorly pro
portioned detail to entirely spoil the

the incessant demands and changes
of an owner after the house has been
started. An owner should not be sat
isfied with a thing merely because
it expresses utility. Anything that
goes fnto the makeup of a house
should be inserted to further improve
the house, and a closet set angularly
in a corner which could be used for
a nice piece of furniture simply be
cause -he wishes a little more closet
space will surely tend toward being
useful, but in a majority of cases it
will prove that and nothing more, and
will detract rather than add to the
barmoniousness and beauty of the
room.
"Evidently, young man." laughed
the client, who had a few ideas of his
own regarding the planning of a
home, "you're trying to tell me that
I'll ruin my home by having you
make -those, few changes In the plan
of the house that I suggested."

ERHAPS the most serious fault
most players .of auction is the
dency to overbid their hands.
Ae can be seen, therefore, to concede
to players generally.the right to make
pre-emptive bids would be to give
them a license which they would
be apt to use unrestrictedly, with the
result not only that they would meet
wih repeated disaster, but that the
harmonious superstructure of the
game scientific bidding would be
entirely destroyed.
The beginner at . least should have
nothing to do with pre-emptive bids.
Hft will finH it ffioiti,r jitf.ul
to get a sound conception of the es
sentials to a one-trick bid. ' To this
end, therefore, his efforts should be
directed.' So, also, a player of simply
average experience should let pre
emptive bids severely alone. -When
it comes to players of mature judg
ment, players that are able correctly
to estimate the value of a hand and
its ever varying possibilities, the
case is different, and if they choose
to indulge in pre-emptive bidding
they have a perfect right to do so.
I would caution even such, how
ever, against attempting pre-emptive
bids unless their holding fully jus
tifies their doing so. Otherwise, they
will give wrong inferences and more
often than not pave the way to dis
aster. A pre-emptive bid of three is war
ranted only when one's hand insures
seven tricks with potent possibilities.
A pre-emptive bid of four only
when the hand is good for nine tricks
with at least on more likely.
A pre-emptive bid of five only
when the hand shows practically 11
tricks. With a hand seeming to
justify such bid, mie may not rea
sonably depend upon one's Partner
for even one trick.- .
It is perhaps easier to say when
not to make a pre-emptive bid than
when to do so:
Never or rarely at no trumps. -
Never or rarely in a minor suit.
Never in a major suit save when
one is entirely defenseless in the
remaining major. It is seen, then,
that pre-emptive bids are practically
confined to major suits, and even
then are employed only under con
ditions as described, whpen one is
defenseless in the remaining - major.
As the primary object of a pre
emptive bid is to shut out some other
bid. such bid. it can be seen, should
never be made on a hand containing
general strength.
The only conditions under which
an initial bid of "two no trumps" is
advisable or desirable are when the
hand contains the four aces, and
especially if one of . the aces be a
singleton or once guarded only. With
such holding, it develops not infre
quently, that the adversary is strong
in the suit in which the declarer is
weak, so an initial bid of one could

house to
easily be overcalled, with the result
perhaps that the remaining adver
sary, if not the original bidder of
the suit, could carry the bid to such
figure that they would secure the
declaration and make an excellent
score. possibly game. The pre
emptive bid might prevent the suit
being announced. Then, again, an
initial bid of two may shut out a
lead-directing bid by fourth bidder,
such bid often proving an important
factor in determining the success or
failure of an adverse no trump.
At the same time there is another
side to the question which should
not be overlooked. If. as iir?pst,l
7" .. . oi.oiig in me suit
uw.jaicr uwiua a sin
holds a singleton
ace or an ace once guarded only, on
the first or second round their" suit
will likely become established, in
which case unless declarer or dummy
has an established suit or unless in
the effort at establishment one's
finesses are successful, the adverse
suit will generally be brought in.
The pre-emptive bid, therefore, in
spite of the hundred-point honor
score, could easily prove a pitfall.
Under ordinary conditions a pre
emptive bid at no-trumps is usually
inadvisable for the reason that at no
trumps more than at any other
declaration it is important to re
ceive some intimation from one's
partner as to whether 'or not the
declaration suits him. In one's ieal
regarding pre-emptive bidding, one
should not overlook the fact that a
pre-emptive bid pre-empts one's
partner the same as one's adversa
ries. As has been explained. It is of
the , utmost importance, therefore.
that the player making the pre
emptive bid: have the full strength
necessary to tne Old; otherwise, he
should not attempt it.
A pre-emptive bid in a minor suit
is rarely advisable for two reasons
one that it shuts out a higher valued
declaration from one's partner; the
other that if the adversaries are
really strong in one of the majors
it rarely accomplishes its purpose, as
they will generally overcall in the
major.
Save at a score where one can
easily go game at a minor suit, the
primary object of a minor suit bid
is to induce, one's partner to make
if possible a higher valued declara
tion. A pre-emptive bid forestalls
this object. Therefore, as stated,
pre-emptive 'bids are rarely made in
the ' minor suits. When made, they
indicate that the main assistance is
in the remaining minor.
A pre-emptive bid is not advisable
even in a major suit, save, as ex
plained, when one is utterly defense
less in the other major. This is the
inference such bid should convey to
the partner. hen, with an excel
lent holding in one of the major
suits the remaining major is also
protected the pre-emptive bid should
not be made, but one should start
rather with a bid of one. The part-
ner with no - help for the suit bid
may havj a genuinely good bid in
te remaining major, which it would
prove to the Joint benefit to have
shown and ultimately to serve as the
tramp. Were the bid a pre-emptive
one he would be debarred from show-
ing the suit. No. option would be
left him and. he would be compelled
to let the partner's bid stand. Thus
the pre-emptive bid might easily fail
of game, whilev had the partner been
enabled to show his strength, game
would have been assured.
When all is said in the matter, it
will be seen that the opportunities
for making pre-emptive bids occur
but rarelj'.
Milton C.'Work. who is one of the
strongest exponents of pre-emptive
bidding, makes the assertion . that
pre-emptive bids have become a most
important part of the game and that
players have learned by experience
that when it " is advisable to pre
empt at - all, it should be done to
the limit." He says, further, that
In order "fully, to gather the ben
efits of the pre-emptive bid the bid
der must have nerve and that a
pre-emptive bid which should ac
complish Its purpose is apt to fail
when the bidder shows his timidity
by attempting to get off too cheaply."
This of course is Mr. Work's
J opinion and undoubtedly there are
many who agree with him. Others,
and equally good and well-known
authorities', will have nothing to do
with pre-emptive bidding. As is seen,
therefore, it remains with the player
himself to decide whether or not he
will adopt' pre-emptive bids. Let
him ever bear in mind, however, that
unless used with judgment and fully
in accord .with the standards given
they may easily prove a two-edged
sword and redound rather to the ad
vantage of the adversaries.
Strictly speaking, a pre-emptive
bid should be a bid of three or more.
There are many who still cling to
the idea that an ' Initial bid of two
is a pre-emptive bid. Save in the
case of a "two. no-trump bid." which
has been explained and which could
only be overcalled by a bid of three,
an initial bid of two is made more
for the purpose of information than
with the intent to have it serve as a
pre-emptive bid. Undoubtedly, how
ever, - it at times accomplishes this
purpose.
The significance attaching to an
initial bid of two varies according to
whetherthe bid be in a major or a
minor suit. In either case it shows
six sure tricks. An initial bid of two
should never be made unless1 the
hand guarantees this number of
tricks. When two of a major suit
is bid, it warns the partner against
making any" other bid. It tells him.
in other words, not to bid at all
unless in the suit named. Such bid
is made on a hand like the follow
ing (this, also, is according to Wofk):

Miss Irwin and a large number of
others argue, and with good reason.
that, such bid should be reserved!
until the second round of bidding,
and assert that if there is no second
round there is usually nothing to
regret. Mr. Work insists, however,
that with a hand of this nature one
start with a bid of two, taking no
chances on there being a second
round of bidding. He states, further,
that if the six tricks which an initial
bid of two must guarantee be not
assured in the suit which is bid
there must be sufficient side strength
to make up the deficiency. He also
argues that with a two-trick bid
eliminated as a pre-emptive bid, a
bid of this nature should clearly in
dicate to one's partner the special
makeup of the hand. v
. The initial bid of two in a minor
suit Indicates, on .the other hand,
exceptional strength in the suit bid
(it being either established or
within one round of establishment)
and considerable strength in two of
the remaining suits. It shows, in
other words, a folding- which would
be apt to serve an effective purpose
either- with the suit named as the
trump or at a no-trump declaration
and leaves it to the partner to indi
cate which of the two bids best fits
in with his holding. A bid of this
nature shows one suit to be unpro
tected, otherwise the initial bidder
himself would have announced no
trumps. A hand justifying such bid,
according to Work, would be a hand
like the following:
A K
KQJ9S63
,
Q J 8 3
Players who do not use pre
emptive bids would bid no trumps or
clubs on such hand, the choice being
dependent upon the score, with tne
score such that two or three tricks
at clubs would insure game, they
would bid clubs. At love score, no
trumps, though a singleton or a
blank su't at no trumps is admittedly
disadvantage.
As was brought to my attention a
short time since, some players are
under the inTPression that a two-
trick bid should be made to show
a long, fully established suit, with
no other protection. oucn juea. io

already stated, players wish to in

number the nana snouia iuiij tun

such bids, otherwise there will be
endless confusion, and instead of an
ir,t,ilicr.nt harmonious game players
constituting the partnership will be
utterly at variance. .

thought. He made a cradle out of a
barrel, and this is just how he did it-.
eougni a barrel at the grocery
store for 40 cents, split the , barrel
lengrnwise two-miras tne way, then
sawed across at right angles to the
split. When the barrel was placed on
its side it formed, a wooden cradle
the end of the- barrel making a canopy.
Two small wooden pieces were nailed
securely to the sides low down so that
the barrel might rock a little but
would never turn over. Then he
painted the whole with brjown paint,
and when it was finished it looked
like a quaint Holland cradle.
The garden was small, shady and
thoroughly fenced around, so Jimmie
placed his out-of-doors cradle in the
corner where the kindly landlady
might keep an eye on it from her
kitchen window. Sd Mr. Baby could
be absolutely, safe in his green gar
den kingdom. He could breathe deep
fresh air and watch the shadows
flicker across his little counterpane.
Now Jane made a cradle which
rested in her room in the nights. It
was made from a laundry basket,
painted gray, padded with cotton in
side and then lined with bath towel
ing, which she bought, too, for $1.
She made two linings and edged them
with blue checked gingham bindings
of two inches wide. These were only
basted in and could be kept fresh by
washing. . ' '
So Jane and Jimmie's baby had an
indoor house and an outdoor house,

a dozen bags of popcorn.
Now baby coos comfortably" in his
cradle and makes jokes to himself

too high. This would be reduced by
about $3,000,000 a year by the annu

purchased their holdings with gov

the future to bedivided between the
two Irish parliaments.
One suggestion has been made that
Ireland's contribution to the imper

income tax and super-tax. which at
present amounts to 10,000,000 or 11,

Outside of Ulster, however, none of

Complete separation and- an independ

This wonderful Derwillo instantly

When Jfae Edna Wilder, the well

"Anyone can have a beautiful com
plexion when they know how. It's a
very simple process. I use the same

of any drug store or department store
and get a bottle of Derwillo, then
make the following test: Examine
your skin critically before your mir

then cleanse your skin with a good

For over fifty years some of Dr. Pierce's home medicines have 1

a reliable vegetable laxative, in the same way that Dr. Pierce's Favor
