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.

ARTICLE No. 23
The hands analywd in this article
are certainly puzzler. 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.

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.

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

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. ,
