The use of good judg- ment iu this situation is highly profit- able and what you do serves to indi- cate whether you are a good player or a dub, The other night the writer was play- ing at ono of the well-known New York Card Clubs. and supposedly with high grade players, and yet observed some very fine• examples of "What not to do." For example: Hearts—K, 7, 6 Clubs—K, 3, 9, 8, 4 Y : Diamonds—K, 10, 8, 6, 5 : A B Spades—none Z It often has been pointed out in these articles that one of the best ways to learn Auction or Contract Is to study examples of "Wbat not to do," either in the bidding or play. Knowing what not to do is particular- ly important when partner has made a no trump bid. Supporting values for a no trump bid by partner are aces„ kings and queens only. Jacks and tens are count- ed as supporting values only when held in combination with higher honors of a suit. If partner's no trump bid has been. Overcalled by a suit bid, don't bid two no trump unless you have opponent's suit stopped at least once, and also a trick or two on the side. If you hold a big hand, and no stopper in the suit bid, double. The opponent cannot take eight' tricks when your partner has a real bid of one no trump and you also have a big hand. What do you mean when your part- ner has been taken out of his no trump bid by an opponent and you double the opponent's bid? Do you want your partner to go on with his no trump bid, or are you doubling to defeat the bid? Answer. Your double means that you can defeat the bid if your partner has a no trumper; that you either have a big no trump yourself or that you have four or more cards in the suit bid and prefer to defeat the bid rather than to go on with your part- ner's no trump. Your partner should not go on with his no trump under such Hearts -9 Clubs -7, 5 ]Diamonds—J, 8, 7 Spades—A, Q Auction Bidding No score, first game, Z dealt and bid one no trump, A passed, Y bid two spades and B and Z passed. Here's where A started to give a fine exhibi- tion of "What not to do." He didn't stop to figure that his hand was worth probably three tricks if spades were trumps so that, if his partner could take only one trick, they would save the game. He gaily bid three clubs, which Y doubled. B and Z passed and A now decided to try three diamonds. This also was doubled and the con- tract was set for 400 points. Study this band, the bidding and the score and learn "What not to do" under similar circumstances. At Contract, A would probably not have bid so freely as he did at Auc- tion. The heavy penalties at Contract have curbed a .great deal of free bid- ding. Problem Hearts—A, 10, 2 Clubs—none Diamonds -5, 3 Spades—K, 8, 2 Y A Z B : Hearts -8, 4 Clubs—Q, 8, 6, 2 Diamonds—K, 2 Spades—none Clubs are trumps and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win• five of the eight tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the four of hearts and Y wins the trick with the ace. Y should then lead the deuce of spades, which Z should trump with the deuce of clubs. Z should then lead the king of diamonds and follow with the deuce of diamonds, which trick A must win. Whatever A now leads, Y Z must win two trump tricks. If A leads a diamond or a spade, .Z trumps and leads the eight of hearts. His rlueeu qt 1 i9 ., t .. y' a !p eke. this ay, Y Z must -win five of the eight tricks against any, defense. Hearts—Q, J Clubs—K, 9, 3 Diamonds -6, 4 Spades -6 It should be noted that the lead of the king of diamonds by Z at trick one and the lead of the deuce of diamonds at trick two ista loser. A should lead the nine of hearts which Y must win. The lead by Y of a heart or a spade is a loser. Played in this way, er Z must lose four tricks. It should also be noted that Z may first play the king of diamonds and then lead the four of hearts and let Y lead the deuce of spades. When he trumps the spade, Z should then lead the deuce of diamonds, obtaining the same result as in the correct solution elven.,eane.+atee. r^ •'... This is e tricky problem and should be carefully noted. All of the varia- tions given should be played out. The Passing of the Crossroads Store The loafers, seated on _ the long benches before a New Hampshire country store, stopped their whittling and desultory gossip and indolently sant up. Even the farmers' horses, nuzzling their soft noses in the three gnawed and weather-beaten feed troughs, raised their heads. An im- portant event was about to happen, for the stage- coach which carried the nail and an occasional passenger to the mountain village was due on one of its tri -weekly trips. .The rattle of the huge wagon, ard the clipclop of the horses' feet sounded down the narrow, dusty road. With a flourish of whip and a steadying of reins that almost swung the leaders to their haunches, the driver brought the stage to a stand- still. He flung off the leather bag, and the storekeeper, who combined the duties of postmaster with those of vil- lage trader, carried it inside the dim- ly lighted store. There was an excited buzz of expectancy as the few letters from the outside world were sorted. 'the storekeeper, however, was net allowed to read his two letters from Boston!

The storekeeper himself was a "man of parts." Shrewd at a bargain, keen - minded, just, kindly, he was a leader in the vicinity. Among his neighbors he was known as a rich man. His house was the largest in the village and boasted steel engravings and horsehair furniture in the parlor. He had sent his children away to school.

He was a deacon in the church, a justice of the peace, first selectman, chairman of the school com- mittee, and had represented his town at the general court. In 1840 he had opened a small gen- eral store. Now, in the sixties, he had taken his young son into the busi- ness, and had moved to larger quar- ters, taking it for granted that he would pass his "trade" down to his son and his son's son. He never thought of this village, where his per- sonality and individuality were so strongly felt, without his store. Twice a year the storekeeper went to Boston "to stock up." He was thrifty and careful in buying; blue drilling for overalls, Thirty pieces of calico, hoop skirts at d bustles, cotton '•.tread knotted in "hanks," red and white spotted bandanna handker- chiefs, cotton battirg, "factory yarn," quaint buttons, pieces of glassware made by that "new company down on Cape Cod," a few 'webs of lawn, a piece or two of sprigged muslin, some webs of lace, needles, pine, an occa- sional piece of silk, hard candies for the children, as well as the groceries and hardware needed in the daily life of the village. Filially he added a few wallpapers. The following years, after the store- keeper's son had inherited his busi- ness, found the village growing. Small lt:niber mills were bringing workers from outlying districts. Sumner boardeiw were migrating in increasing numbers from the cities. The country store grew to meet the demands. Then appeared two factors which have sounded the knell of the general store as it was known twenty-five years ago—the automobile and the, mail order house. There still remain stores, one is willing to admit, where everything is handled, from "knitting needles to plow parts," but the cross- roads store as it was, is soon to be a thing of the past.- -:r'rom "About An- ticgnes," by Ella Saen non Bowles, MISEORTUNi It were a misfortune to have. friends until I have learned In my loneliness not to be lonely; or to We`allt^h, unti I am rich without unci otra e. ..3r ,r 4":.,.

One wife out of every three is the ideal helpmate, we are informed. But how many of us can afford three wives? Our idea of an ideal marriage -is one where the husband is treasurer and the wife is a treasure. A man's ideal wife is one in whose society he can spend a whole evening and not no- tice it.

When To Say "No" Mary Starck Kerr Mrs. Wilderson was almost distract- ed. Her three children were continu- ally running into the house to ask "Mother, may I go over to -Bobby Brown's ' or if it were one of the girls instead of the boy, "May. I go home with Mary, and stay till supper time?" Or perhaps it was a request to use some of Daddy's tools or to get some pieces for dolly's dress out of Moth- er's peee-bag. At any rate, Mrs. Wild- erson was worn out with her own con- tinuous stream of No's, followed by the children pleas, then tears or re- bellious cries. Very often„ just to get peace, Mrs. Wilderson 'would finally say "Yes" instead of "No." Then during vacation, the time she most dreaded because of having the full care of the children, her sister, a student at the kindergarten training school, came to visit her, and relieved her of the burden. While Mrs. Wild- erson sewed or rested, she observed her sister's methods with the child- ren, and the atmosphere of peace that prevailed, What was the secret of the change that had come over the children? They never teased Aunt Margaret and seldom cried when with her. At first. Mrs. Wilderson thought it was because of the newness of Aunt Margaret, but as the weeks passed and the newness wore away, the child- ren were still on the same good be- havior. Then the mother began no- ticing that whenever the children asked Aunt Margaret to let them do some definite thing, or to go to some particular place, she took a moment to consider before answering, and then usually the answer was "Yes." Yet she was not spoiling the children; they were more obedient, as well as more quiet and less mischievous. Mrs. Wilderson noticed, also, that when her sister said "No," it was al- ways after consideration and for some good reason. For instance: it was too near dinner time for :Donald to go home with Bobby Brown—then she gave Donald something interesting to do until the meal was ready; Helen could not get pieces for her doll's dress just now because Mother was lying down and they would not want to disturb her, but after Mother was rested Aunt Margaret would ask if Helen could not have a little bag of pieces of her own, and then she would always know where to find a piece of material when she needed it. When the vacation was over, Mrs. Wilderson did not lose the benefits of her rest for she put into practice the lessons she had learned, chief among which was when to say "No." Before this, she, like many another mother, had thoughtlessly said "No" to many appeals which should have been grant- ed; now, only when the best interests of those concerned would suffer by granting the request, did she refuse. Besides this she explained the reason, and so, to a very great extent, peace and contentment reigned in her house- hold, where once there had been fric- tion and turmoil.—Issued by the Na- tional Kindergarten Association, 8 West 40th Street, New York City.
