As an op- portunity of this work almost always comes toward the close of day, when the poor, tired little fellow cannot hold his head up any longer, the ught is fast los- ing its actinic power and a comparatively long exposure must therefore be given in order to obtaln any result. Operations must be carrled on pretty quickly, too, and in a famlily of which the baby forms a part the camera should always be kept loaded and in readiness for such a possi- bility. A portable background, though not necessary, is very convenient and should be placed behind the subject as soon as it is declded to photograph him. The camera should be used with a tripod or stand whenever possible, and should be moved about until the best point of view obtainable is secured, taking oare that the features are not distorted or covered up by objects between the face and the camera. Do not remove the cup and spoon If the little fellow has just been eating, but leave them to suggest a ral- son d’etre for the picture. It is usually well to have the camera somewhat higher than the child’s head, as the view thus obtained will be more like that seen by the eye of the observer than if made from & lower point of view.

E. P. SCHELL. N the first round of a suit, you should generally play your highest card third hand, iIn order to strengthen your partner's. You naturally suppose that he is lead- ing from his strong suit and wants to Lave the winning cards of it out of his Wi you therefore do not finesse but play your highest cards, bearing in mind that if you hold a sequence you play the | lowest of the sequence; holding ace, . or ace, queen, Kknave, you do for in this case, the finesse can- not be left to your partner. In trumps you may finesse ace, knave, if an honor is turned to your right. If your partner leads a high card originally you assume it 1s led from one of the combinations of the high card leads, and your play third hand must be guided by a consideration of the combination led from. If your partner open a suit late in hand with a high card, your play third hand will depend on your judgment and the character of the lead. Again on the sec- ond round of a suit, if you (third player) hold the best and the third best card, and you have no indication as to the position of the intermediate cadd, your play should again depend on your strength in trumps. If weak in trumps, take the trick at once; if strong in trumps, espe- clally if strong enough to lead a tramp Bhould your finesse succeed, it is usually wise to make it. One of the features of third hand play which is of the utmost importance is “un- blocking.” This is a method of play by which third hand, holding four of a suit led by his partner, gets rid of the high cards in such a manner as to aveid ob- structing the bringing in of bis partner’s long suit, and to enable him to count the hand. The general rules laid down for un- blocking are as follows: When aece, queen, knave, ten or nine is led, as an original lead, third hand, not making an effort to take the trick, and holding ex- actly four of the suit, retains his lowest card—playing his third best. To the second round of the sult, third hand having played his third best card to the first round, and again not attempting to win, plays his second best or middle card. Third hand having played his third best card to the first trick, and later in play returns the suit, plays his highest card even though he holds three cards at the time. This is an exception to the general rule of returning the lowest of three re- maining cards. Third hand having played his third best card to the first trick, later on discarding fram that suit, discards the middle or second best card, unless he de- sires to call for trumps. Third hand wishing to call and unblock at the same time should play his second best, then his third best card, remembering always to retain his fourth best or lowest until the last. The advantages of the unblocking geme are many and too much attentiun cannot be given to this feature of third lLand play. And it must not be forgo'tin that not one long suit perhaps in ten is broaght in, and your unblocking tactics go for naught; for the unblocking feature of your play only counts when your | pariner succeeds in bringing in his loug =uit. The purely unblocking part of the play is not of so much practical value as thowing the number in suit, Good players, who carefully note the absence of small cards from the fall of the first and second round of a suit, often reap great advantage from the in- formation. This feature of the unblock- ing game is sadly neglected by e very geod players, and should recelve much more attention than it usually does. | A hand where it is wise to unblock.

Trick 2—East can, of course, place the Jack and the 8 with West; the latter must be careful when next he plays a heart, whether in following suit or discarding, to throw the jack; oth- erwise his previous play 18 rendered in- effective. If West had desired to signal he would have played the jack, which, since his partner could count him with the 10, would have made a complete call. Trick 3—North misses the 3 and draws a similar inference to that at trick 1. Tricks 4 and 5—With four trumps and a re-entry, North plays to bring in his long suit, notwithstanding the adverse estab- lished heart suit. With two honors in sequence, East properly covers a low card led. South commences to echo, In order to show e SRt o aaberend trom s ¢!

South commences a plain suit echo, Pn case West holds the trick, and continues the suit.

Trick 8—South must cover the 10, for the jack having forced the king, West would otherwise let ¥t go through and hold up his ace over the queen. Trick 9—At this trick North can place all the remaining cards—thanks to the unblocking play—and knows that he ecar draw the remaining trumps. His partner is. marked with two spades (see trick 3) one trump having echoed three, and must have a diamond. East having three hearts remaining (see trick 1) and can have no spades nor another diamond, having opened from the top of the suit (see trick 6), he therefore must have a trump left. West retains two hearts (see trick 1). and must have the remaining diamond and a_trump. Tricks 10, 11, 12 and 13—North draws the trumps and makes his remaining three spade tricks. Py
