After dinner as We sat on the veran-

the steps from the street and said:
Gentlemen, mebbe you'd like to
walk up the street a few rods and

it is fault found among even the most
experienced players. A player may
open with five trumps, and, finding
that his partner will render him little
or no assistance, will hesitate to con-
'tinue the trump lead. Perhaps the
enemy wins the first trump trick and
opens suit in which the original lead
er wins the trick, and instead of re-
turning the trump opens his own suit.
This trick is won by the original lead

attacking the weak. point in his hand.
The poor partner meanwhile sits there
helpless. His own suit is established,
and his hand is good for two or three
tricks in the third suit. But first one
opponent is allowed to ruff, and then
the other, and finally his partner IS
obliged to trump his winning cards at
the close of the hand. Time and time
again cases have been noted where
trumps were discontinued when the
leader and his partner were marked
with the command of all the plain
suits.
Another case resembling this in some
respects is the hesitation shown IN
leading trumps from four remaining,
after having taken force early IN the
game Players do not seem to diner
entiate between an original opening
from four trumps in lieu OF opening
four or five plain-card suit and leading
from four trumps remaining after one
has been used to ruffing from an orig
inal holding of FIVE In the first in
stance there is likelihood that one
opponent may also hold four trumps,
but when a player himself holds five the
chances that either enemy holds four
are greatly diminished.
For this reason a player may often
be warranted in leading trumps imme-
diately after taking a force, when he
would have assumed tremendous risk
had he originally opened from four
trumps Of the value of those remaining.
II the enemy established a suit at the
time the force came, it might be rash
to lead trumps, unless three of the four
were of high value, but if the force
came on the partners suit (evidently

There are so many players who play
by book and do not stop at the proper
moment to think what is required of
them. 1t is at just such moments
when the whist perception should come
into play and the book rules cast to the
dogs. For, if you permit yourselg to
invariably follow the rules, when from
the fall of the cards and your own
holding, they are not applicable, there
will come loss of tricks on the over

as fact that child-bearing impossible, "Favor-
