Trick Z. Y naturally tries to make all the

doubtless surprised TO find A out OF clubs. As
the cards lie his lead makes no difference, as A

From the Warrington Post.
In speaking Of special sales the other day and
of the figures that seem to attract the public
the most, as well MS the class OF customers who
frequent these sales. an old and successful NOR
chant said:
There is a fascination in odd numbers that
always draws purchasers. Now, i will call
your attention to some Of the marked-down ar
ticles that are being sold on our bargain coun.
ter. Notice those necktics that are marked at
37ia cents. three for "A dollar; IL is an actual
fact that we sold twice as many of them al
37lo cents as we would sell at 50, and we sell as
many again by allowing three for 81. When q
man sees them selling at 37la cents he naturally
imagines that they are 5O-cent goods. and he
reasons that no can get three cheaper than he
can one, SO he takes three. He really does get .
bargain, but he would not take 1t at a less at
%traCtive figure.
"SpGaking OF odd numbers. 1t 10 q curious
fact that some are much more attractive than
others. Nine cents. for instance. Is one of the most
attractive figures, and sells moro goods than 3

means so good as 10 cents for running of an

Trick 4. As refusal to win the second round

Of the small trump marks him with two higher
trumps or no more. II b has no more, II, will be
better for A. perhaps, to win the second round

willing to drop two for one and take chances %

his suit.
Trick 9. Having won the first round OF trumps
SO chcaply, A knows that It is useless to hope
that his partner can win. the second round, be-
cause no good player could tinessc his partners
2 when he held king or queen and the 8 still
hold the trick. In order TO be sure OF two more
rounds Immediately, therefore. A leads the acc
and then u small trump.
Trick 4. Y holds a suit which is Just as
good as As, because a suit of seven cards
headed by A X will catch the queen four times
out of five. Although Y has no re-entry, he Is
practically compelled. to continue the trumps;
not only to knock those held by A and Il to-
gether. but rs the only possible chance to make
his suit. In this he is much encouraged by his
partners discards. which show that he also 10
strong in clubs. Twould not discard his strong
suit while he could easily read his partner for
the bcst trump after the second trick.
