Iast Tuesday night a large com pany, of friends of Miss I-.eth.-i Case beer gathered at her home In the north side of town. The occasion proved to lie a miscellaneous shower for MIbr Cnsebeer, who is soon to be a bride. : The -sifts, whloh were very numerous. : were benfttiful as well na practical. The evening was spent with games and stunts. A feature ot the entertainment was a mock wed ding in which Mrs. Marie Collins was the "bride" and Miss Anavelle Walker the "groom," while the "parson" was impersonated by Miss Violet Scott. After dainty refreshments had been served the guests, numbering about 40, departed for their several homes. taut Monday while playing at school, lOllon Miller had the misfor tune to break his arm.

The writer has submitted them to three well-known experts and none of them agreed on any one of the hands. It is this very diffcr- ence of opinion, however, that makes auction so fascinating, lou will prob ably all make up your minds what you would do with each hand so that if you differ from the writer, think of the three experts and their differences of opinion. Auction always will be interartiAe be cause the personal element always will be dominant. It is wise to conform to conventions, but on close hands con ventions are of little value and the per sonal opinion always win ruie. Hand No. 1 Hearts A, K, J, 9, 7,3 Clubs 10.9. 8. 4 : Diamonds At 9, 4 Spades none Y A B Z No score, rubber came. Z dealt and bid one spade. A bid two hearts. Y two spades, B three hearts and Z four spades. How should A read the bidding, and what is his Drone r bid? It should be apparent that Z considers that he has a game hand. His unnecessarily high bid of four spades over three hearts is a good indicator ot his opinion. A is then olaced in a oosition where it is practically certain that Z has a game in spades and must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to. save that game. In the actual hand A bid five hearts; was doubted by Y and lost 200 points. Z had a very unusual hand con taining eight spades and five diamonds. He could have just made four spades so A's sacrifice of 200 points to save game and rubber was justifiable. Hand No. 2 : Y :A B ; : Z Hearts J, 6 C lubs A, K. 9,8, 7, 5, 3 Diamonds 8,3,2 Spades 6 No score, first game. 7. dealt and bid one club, A doubled, Y passed, and B bid one spade. Z passed, A bid two hearts, Y two no-trump, B and Z passed. A bid three hearts, Y doubled and B passed. What should be Z'i analysis of the bidding and what should be his proper bid? This is a very close hand. The fact that Z's club suit is of seven cards nukes it unlikely trhat it will win more than one trick at the most. His partner, Y, in doubling, must be de pending on Z for two tricks because of his original club bid. He hasn't got those two tricks font his clubs will be trumped, either the first or second round, so he should bid four clubs over Y's double of three hearts. I n the actual hand Z passed and A made four odd. Z's clubs were trumped on the first round, just as he should have expected. When you have led your partner to be lieve by an original bid that you can take two tricks, either be in a position to do so or to go on with your bid Hand No. 3 Hearts K, Q, 8, 4 Clubs 8, 4,3 Diamonds Q, 9, 8, 3 Spades A, 3 :A Y i Bi Z i Hearts J, 6 Clubs Kt Q,7 Diamonds K, J, 10, 7, 2 Spades Q, 9, 7 No score, rubber game. Z dealt and b. one no-trump, A and Y passed and B bid two clubs. Z bid two no-trump and all passed. A opened the nine of clubs, Y played the trey, B the ace and Z the seven. B then returned the jack of clubs, Z played the queen, A the deuce and Y the four. Z now played a low diamond, A played the ace, V the trey and B the four. A then led the four of spades. 1 low should Z analyze the hand and what is his proper play? Z has the choice of two plays, either to win the trick with ace of spades and set up his heart suit or to pass the spade trick, hop ing that A has the king. To the writer, the former play seems the better. B is marked with the ace of hearts; other wise his bid of two clubs would have been unsound. If he also has the king of spades, Z cannot make game for R will set up his clubs before he loses his ace of hearts. Z should play the ace of spades, therefore, and then lead a low heart from Y's hand and play the jack from his hand. If B refuses to take this trick Z should return the six of hearts. B will surely win this trick and if he plays the club, Z will now make game. It is a close hand and hard to say what Z should play. In the actual hand, B held both the king of spades and ace of hearts so that the only way to score game was to play the ace of spades at trick four. , ulren vAile Mr. and Mrs. l.athmp are InttHiidiltt the Htock in Portland.
