They are the deepest think- ers and have a better insight into hu- man nature, which after all Is the secret of successful writing. The Irish type, too, is laughter loving with the wit of old Erin sparkiing in her eyes. The blonde is rarely witty, being mors apt to be quiet and commonplace. She is selfish, with & love of ease that fosters mercenary instincts. The highest ambi- tion of the average blonde is to look pret- ty and to have all that she wants. Her intellectual attainments are circumscribed by medioerity, and slurs and covert in- nuendos of the pin-pricking nature do duty for piquancy. The brunette is sarcastic and her point- ed speeches are poison-tipped and she loses her temper. The nondescript type is better balanced mentally and more con- servative. If she be witty it is a wit that savors more of fun than of acidity, She does not enjoy the discomfort of othets, consequently does nothing to provoke it. Of other nondescript types, the girl with brown eyes and blonde hair is very beau- tiful. The contrast is striking and fasci- nating, and she is distinctive, but the type is so rare and the opportunities too few whereby to make deductions that might serve as a psychological study. Besides, too, this type being so unusual the chemical possibilities belng far be- yond the ken of the beauties of a genera- tion agone, the bionde with dark eyes is open to the suspicion of the friendly per- oxide having taken a hand in enhancing her charms. . The Titian beauty almost unknown a few years ago save in old canvases is a modern quinine and iron creation that has feels strong enough to lead trum This at once shuts out any possibility of the original léader’'s being® forced by his part- ner just because he has not led trumaps when he was in the iead originally. The long suit player has no such guide, be- cause he wil lead a suit which he las no chance whatever of making and Goes not care much what his partner returas. Very féw partners have the courage to lead trumps on the mere strength of the leader’s suit, because they have no confi- dence in his re-entry strength. There are some who will always show their own suit before they return their partner’s. That was at one time considered good whist. 1t is claimed by a great many players that it is a very important thing to be sure that the partner is ctrong in trumps when he deliberately forces you, because it will often justify a player who has Jjust been forced in playing a more for- ward game, perhaps by leading trumps himself in order to make a suit the pos- sibilities of which his partnmer may not be aware of. The objection made to *his reasoning 1s that if you always wait until you are strong in trumps you'will do very little ruffing, and not only 1 many a trick get away from you, but you will often find yourself playing a forcing game when it would be much more to your ad- vantage to lead trumps. Every whist player must have observed that there are many cases in which a player has com- plained of being forced by a partner weak in trumps, because the force left an honor unguarded, or something of that kind. It the honor was the only trick lost, it must be acknowledged that it is offset by the trick which was won when the force was your partner is the cne that forces you, e he will lead a iosing card in or- show you that the best of the suit is azainst him, and he wants you to ruff it out. The position is very similar to that in which a player finds himseif called uron to decide whether or not he shall ruff a doubtful trick second hand when weak in trumps, only to find that he had prevented his partner from get- ting the full benefit of a very advan- tageous position. Another point which has proven a great stumbling block to many good players is whether or not to force your partner when the adversaries have led trumps It zeems reasonable to think that if the adversaries want to extract all your trumps, the best thing vou can do Is to make them separately by rufing in with them. But it is not always certain that the adversaries can extract all your partaer's trumps, although you may know it will be very easy for them to get all yours. Your partner may be in pos- scssion of a hand that will surprise the trump leading adversaries if he 1s only allowed to keep his trumps together. If yQu force him it may be fatal, because it will perhaps reduce his trump st:ength Jjust enough to make it possible for the adversaries to catch all he has left.

As it is North gets the forcs on the four-trump hand, draws the r maining trumps and makes the diamon which the player at the first table failed to do.
