AN INVITATION LEAD.
Hy BEVERLY w. SMITH.

From Whist.
A close observer of the game OF
Whist, as played throughout this coun-
try to-day. cannot fail to be impressed
by the prevalence of trump-shoWlng
conventions, and this, in spite Of the
general abuse and disapproval with
which all such plays have been con
sistently received by Whist writers
and teachers. Whether by means Of
the Invitation lead, the Milwaukee or
Albany lead the Waibrook leads, Mil
ton c. Works trump-showing leads,
the force-me and don t-force-me leads
and discards. or by the numberless
other less well-known plays, venture
the statement that there is scarcely
club in the American Whist League to-
dav that has not some method OF lndl-
eating trump strength in its system OF
team play.
And this is as it should be- for so
long! astifs game of Whist lasts, Will
conventional methods Of affording IN
formation to partner continue to be
used. all the calamity to the
contrary notwithstanding, and the
trnmps, which constitute the heavy ar
tillerv for attack and defense, are prop
erly entitled to the highest degree OF
consideration. The very fact that
trump-showing conventions, IN one
form or another. have been so unlYers-
alvlv adopted. in the face OF violent and
persistent opposition. is the best proof
that such methods are both necessary
and proper.
Probably the best known. and GER
tainIv the most popular Of trump-shoW-
ing conventions. is the Invitation lead,
so called because the player making use
of this form of opening his hand IN
vites his partner, under certain con-
ditions. to lead trumps at the earliest
opportunity. 1t is difficult to say JUST
how the Invitation lead originated, but
the fact that its earliest known men
tion and use occurred in connection
with the short-suit game. causes its
origination to be credited TO players
Of that school Whether this be true
or not is OF little importance in this
discussion. for its present use is not
limited to the short-suitors by any
means. but has become feature OF the
common-sense game, so called. as well
as of that OF many teams which play
long suits almost entirely.
The .. 8 and 4 are the cards gener-
allv used for an Invitation lead,
though some teams advocate the
use Of the lowest card in
ones best suit. regardless OF the size of
that card. claiming that such a suit
may not always contain a ?. or 4, and
that the lead will thus become impossi-
bic from many holdings. The answer
is that. when the ?. 8 and 4 are used,
PARTNER can recognize the lead at once,
the importance of which is apparent,
while if the lowest card is being used,
the fact that il is the lowest card may
not develop until several tricks have
been played. when it may be too late
to take advantage Of the deferred in
formation.
When an Invitation LEAD IS made it

H. "A. Du Souchet has secured the

Mr.. Veysey's story is a satire on the

lineage, family tree. a coat of arms,

it will be even funnier in the represen-

A6ielina Patti continues to be one OF
the most interesting figures among the
contemporary celebrities, and her wild
owhood has again attracted attention
to her. 1t is said that she contemplates
a return to this country, and may be
heard here in the season after next.
Her second concert in LONDON TINS
spring was a great success, and ample
explanation was made for the failure
Of the first to attract large audience.
Her last tour in this country was not
so profitable as those which preceded 1t
but it was undertaken on rather short
notice and without the customary pre-
paration. Doubtless the new genera
ton would be curious to hear her on
her return and audiences would be
large enough to make the tour equal
to those of former seasons. The condl-
ton of her voice would really have lit
tie to do with the outcome OF the tour.
1t would be said that the lower tones
had gained in richness and color at the
expense of the upper notes, just as the
state of her voice has been described
for the past Is years. 1t is safe to say
that Nine. Patti will never be heard in
public after she is really unable TO sing
well. Her recent action IN becoming a
British citizen is thought TO bear some
relation to the disposition Of her great
fortune. One Of the best known legal

Patti is said to have become very de-

Church (Catholic), from which her
marriage had alienated her. During
the past few months she has had pri-
vate chaplain in her Welsh castle, and
the permission granted her to do this
is believed to indicate an intention to
receive her again into the church. she
went about in London society this
spring. Just as she has done in the past

says Leander Richardson. to have thea

The people are getting tired of the
present stage fiatulency. The last five
years have exhibited the most dis
graceful epoch the stage has ever
known in this country. Within two
years you will see plays that will indi-
cate better public taste, and the war
will help it along. The people are stir
red now to greater thoughts and are
ennCbled by new conditions. The man
