He must game. Each card played will carry with it a certain amount of information, and the first card of all will proclaim almost the exact combination led from. For the benefit of the beginner a few hints on the lead from certain holdings may not come e deal attaching to al leader may be opening, as your . e he qui vive to draw amiss. For example: When the leader original lead. He holds six cards of a suit, more than half by it, and, there- the time it will go around only once, and the opening the chance of speedy establishment is so t . ym his long great, in default of a trump lead, it ate er may hold should be led regardless of the absence g of a hand, he of high cards. The holder of a five-card - fie ¢ ) him combinations suit of average strength may count upon b a lead that he is establishing his suit, therefore should the long suiter's seldom happen that two five-card are contained the same hand. When it does occur and one of the suits is the trumps, the suit should be led in preference to the trump, unless the suit, the five suits in f com- pe suft, when he knows by reason of its high card holding is al- of simply be- ready established, then lead the trump. s re h a char- If you hold a split hand, three three- r ead any of them is to lose card suits and one four card suit, and 3 or probable trick. In all such that four card suit trumps, lead trumps ning lead is unquestionably A suit including the major tenace (ace and the player who is queen), or minor tenace (king, jack), or X unenviable position has the double tenace (ace, queen, ten), may be e of two evils—whether to stick to held up with some advantage, because 2" or wnat he considers best if it be led up to, the holder gets the < his judgment. Then if loss chance of catching the intermediate card and gaining one or two tricks. Cer- tain players overestimate the advantage of holding up a tenace suit, and the possible benefit derlvable from the tenace be more than offset by loss from a bad substitute lead. In a great many Instances the leader will have no suit of more than four cards. Although mathematically greater, four cards are practically the average holding in a suit, and with that number a player must not consider himself in possession of more than ordinary strength. If two four card suits are held it will-be gener- ally right to open the stronger. When, however, the one is headed by ace, king, or king, queen, and the other is sufficient- ly strong to warrant the bellef that with ordinary assistance from partner two or three tricks may be made in it, the first suit should be retained to furnish re- entry and the latter opened. One thing more, and that regarding trumps. If your strongest and longest guit be trumps you had best lead them. The following interesting hand was played in one of the Eastern clubs: NORTH.

The leader, v\,hn opened hearts, found the deal to run hard for his side and was sure he had lost tricks, but ex- amination of the scores proved. the deal to have a practical “piano.” But South’s hand was certainly a bad one to open. The play went as follows: | that its full light is seldom necessary Trick 1—South chose his four-card heart | suit, not because he wanted to, but be- cause he felt that he must. Prebably the majority of players would agree with him. The weak point in opening such a suit lies in the fact that it contains no seconid card of sufficient size to form a possible guard for the inferior honor which heads the suit. This becomes of the utmost importance when partner holds strength in the suit and’ preséntly re- turns it to you. And such protection is far more necessary in the case of a four- card suit than in one of greater length. Trick 2—West starts his short suit, as South has run straight into his strongest holding and the tenace of spades may well be worth more to hold than to lead away from. Trick 5—East follows his partner's itiative and plays for the cross-ruff, as probably worth more than any other game In sight. After the game and while South in the play given above was still under the impression that his opening was expensive the hand was laid out and expressions of opinion asked as to the best lead. One of the finest players in the club said at once: “I would lead trumps.” The result was a gain of one trick for North and South had trumps been opened. no in- | tions When ,these thoughts came to the Swallow, an’ seeing the Robin stil. sleeping by his side, he knew well that she had stolen his knife and bear- claw: cunning squaw. ow, the Swallow fell into a great anger an’ thought an’ thought what he should do to make the Robin return the knife an’' bear claws she had stolen. Without them the Sioux would laugh at him an’ despise him as before, an’ many again would call him Shau-goh-dah-wah, the Coward, an’ the name bit into the Swallow’s heart like a rattlesnake an’ poisoned it with much b * “While the Swallow thought an’ the Robin still lay slee a plan came to him; an’ with that the Swallow, seeing he was with the Robin lying on the medi- cine robe, sat up an’ wished that both n’', Photographic Pointers For T .is well to remember at this season of the year to remind o elt fre- quently that the actinic power of the sun is stronger than at any other time of the year, and to remember y for of ordi subjects. as much a detri- s an advantage the photographing It is, in fact, quite often ment to pleaging effects because of the extremes of contrast be- tween the lights and shadows produced under it. The experienced worker knows better than any one else what beautifully soft and dainty effects may be secured on gray days, or when the light is obscured by thin, vapory clouds. The begiuner is advised to satisfy him- self on this point by photographing the same bit of landscape under these differ- ent conditions, carefully comparing the results obtained. It will be well in choosing a subject for this trial to select one that offers a va- riety of brightly lighted and shadowed parts when viewed in bright sunlight, and after photographing it under these corai- the operation with all conditions are nearly similar as possible, only excepting the intensity of illumma- tion.
