AUCTION BRIDGE.
3 A%~%~%%~%~><%~
BY r. r. Foster.

Only a short time ago it would have
been difficult to find any auction play
er who would lead trumps right up to
declarer, but since the tactics of the
game have come to be better under
stood, such an opening is not at all
uncommon.
It is peculiar to auction, as distin-
guished from bridge, that one never
leads through strength in the OPEN
ing. At the bridge table, when dummy
made the trump, it was often good play
to lead through him, as such a lead
was usually up to weakness in the,
dealers hand. The heart convention was
built on the same theory, 1t being as
sumed that the dealer was weak in
hearts, and that it would be safe to
lead that suit up to him II he had
made It no-trumps.
But it is universally recognized as q
disadvantage to lead up to strength,
provided you have anything in the suit
yourself, because you give the strong
hand a chance TO win the trick cheaply
and still hold over you. When you have
nothing in the suit and have no reason
to think your partner has either, there
is not so much harm in leading up to
strength that is invincible anyway. and
IT is always better than leading blind
ly away from suits that you might
otherwise protect.
In playing a trump declaration, the
strength in the trump suit is marked
| in the declarer's hand; but what he
| has in other suits, or in a particular
suit, is problematical, although 1t usu-
ally turns out to be what is called pro-
lection, which means a trick or two
II the lead comes right, but a trick in
any case. II the leader has any cards
| that would destroy that protection by
getting a lead through il or from II,
he should keep them. II he has the ace
and queen, for instance. and suspects
the declarer to hold the king, the worst
lead he could make would be the ace.
The alternative lead is the trump, when
all the plain suits are bad ones to lead
away from.

A PRAYER.

Let me do my work each day; and If
Darkened hours of despair overcome
me.
May I not forget the strength that
comforted me
In the desolstion of other times, May ]
Still remember the bright hours that
found ma
Walking over the silent hills of my
childhood.
When light glowed within me
And I promised by early God to have
Courage amid the tempests Of the
changing years;
Spare me from bitterness and the
sharp passions
OF unguarded moments.
May my thoughts and actions be sucn
As shall keep me friendly with my
self;
Forbid that Judge others less
I condemn myself,
Give me
A few friends who will love me for
what I am;
And keep ever burning bright before
my vagrant steps
The kindly light Of hope: and though
Age and infrmity overtake me, and !
Come not within sight OF the castle
Of my dreams,
Teach me still to be thankful for life
And for Times old moments that are
Good aud sweet; and may the even
ing twilight
Find me gentle still.

didn't believe in divorces of that kind.
MY husband said he would have to
give up his whole family and fortune
of seven or eight millions, but would
stand by me. But he didn't, for he let
his brother Daniel, take him to Europe
few days later"
Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim then told
Of meeting with Attorneys Werner
and Untermyer in the latter's office
on February II. 1901.
Lawyers Outline Divorce Plan.
"They told me 1 could legally secure
a divorce in Chicago" she said, and
that all 1 would have to do would be
to take a trunk along with me and
deposit $1,000 in some Chicago bank.
It'll make it look as though you really
lived there, one of them explained. I
told them that / would consider the
matter, but as they were both Jews
probably they would both side with
Mr.. Guggenheim.
Next day Mr.. Werner called on me.
then consented He secured tickets
and we left for Chicago that day. Be-
fore going Mr.. Werner said to me, I've
got a joke on the other side I asked
him what it was. Well, the divorce
was to have been obtained on deser-
ton charges, but Mr.. Guggenheim was
| seen visiting a resort last night and
80 the charge will be infdelity. The
joke is that my private detectives were
on the job last night. The other side
said it would be much more secure
than desertion charge"
The witness then told of remaining
"a hours in Chicago and returning to
New York with an imitation trunk.
She said she gave her attorney a ST.
900 bill which he deposited in a Chi
cago bank and later gave 1t back to
her in currency. She and her useful
trunk made another flying trip to Chi
cago of the same year, when she Sc
cured her divorce.
Mrs. Guggenheim says that her at
torney received a fee from the Gug-
genheims for securing the divorce.
Samuel Untermyer, William Guggen-
helms attorney is a prominent Wall
street lawyer and is now attracting
nation wide attention as counsel for
the money trust Investigating commit
tee at Washington.
