criticism may cause hard feeling among
*the players. players. These objections can be
met by limiting the discussion of any
one hand to two or three minutes and
by an agreement that the arrangement
terminates whenever any of the players
lose their tempers. The writer would
most strongly recommend a trial of this
eystem to those players who play with
one another fairly often. It will not only
improve your play but also add to the
zest of the game. Try it out and if any
bids orlas come upthat cat se a seri-

Here are two hands that were sub -

Diamonds- A, 4 : A B
Spades -A,: 9, 8, 7, 5, 4 • Z
No score: Z dealt and bid one no-trutap.
What should A now bid with the fore-
going hand? A should pass and open his
spade suit. it is almost a certainty that
he can defeat the no-trump bid. In this
way he can score penalties and aisso his
100 aces. Any other bid with this hand
is unjustifiable.
Hand No. 2.

A and Y. passed and B bid three _dial:

passed, y bid three no-trump and all
pas:d. A opened the six of clubs. How
ahea�ld Z figure out the cards held by
his opponents, both from the bidding
and the opening lead of the six of cly;bs?
How should he plan the play of the
hand so as to: score three odd, gameand •
rubber? Z should figure B with at least
five spades and five diamonds. If that
is so A probably has only two diamonds ..
and one spade. This conclusion is
strengthened bythefact that he opened
his club suit in preference to either of
his partner's suits. On the first club lead
B' fails to follow suit, discarding a dia-
mond. Z should now be able to figure
out B's probable holding: Spades-'
A, Q, 9 and two small; diamonds-
Q, J and three small and three hearts.
If this analysis is correct, he can go
game by winning the first club trick in

and leading the Engel clubs. A' must
