slender, but short; have gray-blue

When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones, unless you
want fruit which will pucker your
mouth.
Coffee icing Is very nice, and 50 is
maple. The first is made by merely u.s.
ing a little very black coffee instead Of
water when the sugar Is mixed; the
other Is maple syrup boiled and stirred
into a beaten egg white.
During damp weather salt cellars are

Apple fritters are better, if, while

No. 17.-The Discard,

49, The most disputed point in bridge is the discard
There are various methods used, each having its ad
ferent methods and there will be occasional times
when some other method would have suited the situ
ton better. We must find the method which will be
advantageous in the majority of instances; the one
which is the least arbitrary and the most elastic
The fundamental idea of discarding in bridge is to
throw away worthless cards. which not needed for
the protection of high cards. It is unwse to ban'
ace that is, to throw away all the small cards and
leave the bare. Should you do so it necesstaes
your play Of the the first time the suit led and
you may be obliged to overtake your partners trick
It is obvious that king needs one guard, queen
two and jack three A jack even with but two
guards good suit to intact two Of the
higher honors may fall the first trick leaving the
jack second best guarded.
The principle of protection must first be needed,
after that arises the secondary and subordinate idea
Of How to suggest to your partner what
suit you would prefer to have led up to you and how
not to help the adversary in his illnesses.
In a Declared Trump.
In declared trump hand, when you are not pro-
tecting some high card discard from weakness thus
saying to your partner, II weak in this suit ~
The Reverse Discard.
If you either have to, to discard from a
trong suit, discard first high card and then low
one, taking to make your first discard high
the if possible, as to attract your partner
attention. This is called the reverse discard and,
the name implies, reverses the meaning of the dis
card indicating to your partner strength in the suit
discarded instead of weakness
In a No Trumper.
In "a trumper discard from weakness also.
Unless the maker has exceptional strength any no
trump make Is likely to be beaten if the remaining
strength of the hand lies with the adversaries It is
therefore folly to part with of your strong
suit until you fairly sure that you cannot make
every card in it. IT, in order to protect honor in
your weak suit you obliged to discard from your
strength, the reversediscarding first high card
and then a low
The discard Of the two, three four means " do

his wife received postcard with the following:

Tho somewhat disappointed, she thought her hus-
band must have been pressed for time Two days
later, however, another card arrived with the start

The wife swallowed her chagrin and, being good
at retaliation, seized her pen and wrote: f'Dear
husband, the children and at Brixton. Yours"
A few days later she wrote again 'We still
in Brixton'
In her last communication she grew more enthu-
siastic: "Dear husband here are in Brixton.
repeat it, sir: We are in Brixton. P. s:-We are,

In due time her husband reached home and almost
fearing that his poor wife had temporarily lost her
