Mw@f% FOR THE GENTLEMAN AND TALKS ON MATTERS MASCULINE TIPS ON FISHING GARB Many fishermen wear the so-called African “bush” shirt, cut for perfect free- + dom of action, and blessed with generous pockets which can be loaded with pipe, tobacco, flys, ete. This particular shirt is made of a specially constructed cotton fabric—very strong, light in weight and adequately water repellent. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1937.

EE LANGDON, a native of New York City, has recently mi- grated to Hollywood, Calif., to open a swanky bridge club in partnership with Frank Shields, the former Davis Cup tennis player. Mr. Langdon, a great friend of ours for many years, is extremely popular, and we wish to take this opportunity to wish him every success.

The bidding: North East South West 1v Dbl South West Pass Pass Pass INT Pass Dbl. 2NT Pass Pass Pass Pass Mr. Langdon made a very unusual bid on the hand. Following North's opening heart bid, East doubled and West responded with one no trump. The bidding then reverted to Mr. Langdon, and he bid two no trump over one. This would ordinarily have been a foolish bid, since, if he could make two no trump, he could set the opponents two tricks doubled at their one no trump contract. On this par- ticular hand, however, the penalty of two tricks against his non-vulnerable opponents would amount to only 300 points, whereas, if he could himself 'OUR ACES. Id Jacoby.

West, unfortunately, chose to open a small spade, and after capturing East’s king, Mr. Langdon could see seven sure tricks. He promptly ran off his four tricks in clubs, East discarding a spade on the fourth round. At this point Mr. Langdon was certain that the opening lead had been from a three- only two spades, he would hardly have discarded his only remaining one. This proved to be the case, and when Mr. Langdon played a small spade and both opponents followed, he made his double contract, gathering in four clubs, three spades and one heart trick.

Address Man's Fashion Editor, The Evening Star, Washington, D. C. Every good fisherman knows that the best fishing comes with wet weather. So be prepared with a silk oilskin jacket.

Far less bulky than | the old standard shape. | If you are not a veteran fisherman, go to the best sporting goods shop in your town, tell them where you in- tend to fish and they'll choose suit- able tackle to meet the conditions and fish to be encountered.
