THE "LlLY" IN AUCTION BRIDGE

There is a mystery about card
games! Where do they come from?
How are they developed? Two or
three years ago bridge seeemd to have
been standardized at last. The count
had remained unchanged for years
Then suddenly you began to hear
about the royal spade make and with
out any particular publicity It forced
itself on public attention. The more
conservative players grabbed it firmly
by the scruff of the neck and threw 1t
out of the winlow. But now, just as
they had begun to fancy they had de-
molished the intruder, comes "the
lily" sliding into auction bridge, a
loyal spade make in disguise. Per-
laps you have heard of it for the
women have been talking about 1t at
their bridge clubs for some time. But
it has attained responsibility by being
mentioned in the latest book, "The A
of Auction Bridge"
The lily counts nine, with honors in
multiples Of that number and is made
on spades, Just as the royal was. Un-
doubtedly 1t does add interest to the
bidding. .f@.
