ERE is no better way of improv- ing one’s bridge game than by playing duplicate. After the session it is good poliey for a pair of novices to compare scores with an expert pair, discuss the hands and find out just where they have made their mistakes. However, the excitement of close competitive bidding, when one or both sides have a partial score, is found only in rubber bridge. On the hand here North and South, in de- fending against their opponents’ part score, suddenly found themselves at & game contract which they would never have reached in the ordinary course of bidding, and the declarer, Edward Hymes, jr., then proceeded to make his contract.

He felt that he held three tricks defensively and that he could reasonably expect his partner to pro- duce one more. At the time time he remembered that his partner had passed originally, and hence could see little chance of making four spades (a four-spade contract would have been set one trick). After winning the opening spade lead with the ace, Mr. Hymes lost little time in leading the queen of hearts through West. He reasoned that West's double would surely in- clude the king of hearts and that therefore his only chance was to attempt to drop the king and jack together. When the heart finesse proved successful, declarer led a small diamond from dummy and again made the correct play of finessing the jack. West won with the ace and cashed a spade trick. But Mr. Hymes had won the game and rubber on & hand on which he was defending.

SMOKING S COSTLY LONDON (#).—8moking is an ex- pensive habit here. American cig- arettes cost 37 cents a package. Most Americans, as a result, smoke English brands but don’t save much since most of those cost 35 cents for 20. And they don’t give matches away—you have to buy 'em or carry a lighter. . |Many persons do the latter—say its cheaper, although the matches only cost & cent & pack. English cirgarettes come in heavy cardboard packages and usually have souvenir pictures inside. Popular brands come not_only in packs of 20 but of 10 and even 5 cigarettes as well. | Letter-Out for conviction. | Letter-Out for direction. Letter-Out and it is black.
