Miss Popularity is a
most tickle maiden, still
there are very few of US
that do not seek her ia
vor but tits only those
that are sincere in their
advances and strictly
fair in their dealing,
that hold this lady's re-
spect for any length of
time she may lean, for
a short time, toward the
city chap with his fine
clothes and debonair
manners, nevertheless,
she will return to her
tried and true friends.
For a store to enjoy
the popularity that this
store does there must be
some reason back of it,
and that reason is, that
while our prices are al
ways the lowest and our
goods are always relia-
BILE, and in our dealing
this store is always fair.

South declared one royal upon a hold
ing questionable as TO best results II
initially bid high or low As experience
has demonstrated the futility OF at
tempting to shut out the opponents
where numerous missing high cards
suggested adverse strength of no mean
order, an initial declaration of one
most appropriately described partner
snip strength in anticipation of results
likely TO follow.
West declared two clubs, undoubtedly
viewing his hand as sufficiently strong
TO encourage a higher partnership dec
laration. North overcalled with three
diamonds upon a holding suggesting
similar difficulties as confronted his
partner in the matter of unnecessarily
high bids.
East bid three hearts. which North
overcalled with four diamonds, South
refusing to go further. Four hearts by
West was the final bid and the hand
was played at that contract, as East
passed up the adverse minor suit bid.
South opened the play-of with the
king Of spades. dummy winning with
the ace. On the next lead OF the ten of
trumps East finessed and South won the
trick with the king. Two winning spades
that were led by South permitted
North 10 get rid Of both his little clubs.
An echo in the discard by the play Of
the six before the two invited lead in
that suit. By South's response not only
was a trick made BY club ruff, but also
one by counter diamond ruff As the
opponents made five tricks-three in
trumps and two in spades-East and
West went down two on their contract.
The fnessing position in this hand
bears many points OF similarity TO that

BUILDING PLANS
AT NEWPORT
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodward to
Make Extensive Alterations
at the Cloisters.

Newport, r. l., Feb. 13.-During the
week plans and specifications have
been filed with the building inspector
here and permit has been granted for
the general improvement of the sum-
mer home of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Woodward the Cloisters. IL was re-
ported some time ago that Mr.. Wood
ward was considering some improve
ments at his estate, but il was not
known that he intended extensive alter
atoms until the plans were filed at the
City Hall. The work that has been
laid out means practically the rebuild
ing of the villa, together with some
additions. According 10 the building
permit the estimated cost of the work
is to be $4,000, but the amount will
probably run considerably over this
figure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney Warren, who
will return to their home here this
coming summer, are also considering
some alterations at their Clay Street
cottage. but how extensive these Will be
has not become known.
There was another season rental an
nounced during the week, Miss Geor-
gianna G.. King having leased from
Senator George Peabody Wetmore and
others their cottage, Needwood, on
Parker Avenue. At present Miss King
is occupying the Hone cottage, on Old
Beach Road, as she has done during
the last few winters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden Mills, who, sc-
cording to report, are soon going to
Palm Beach for a stay, will open their
Newport villa in June.
One of the most interesting reports
in circulation here during the last few
days has been to the effect that there
was likelihood of Mr. and Mrs. James
Gordon Benefits coming to Newport
to spend the coming summer or part
of it, 1t has been long while since

his top trumps, West winning and lead
ing ace and small diamond. hoping TO
ruff his partner. Two small diamonds
in East's hand, however, made this
final attempt at game saving unsuccess-
full and North and South, scoring ten
tricks, went game on the hand.
The Importance of hnessing posi-
tioa doomed up so large TO the player
in this hand that it eclipsed every other
consideration and marked the downfall
of the defending side. SO absorbed
was East in the thought by permitting
his partners ten of clubs to hold he
would remain tenaced over dummy
tina, other considerations more vital TO
a successful defence Of the hand entire
ly escaped his attention.
Had his mind been free TO act, he
would have perceived the importance
Of the two missing clubs in their re
lation to the rest of the hand. IL IS
then that his mind would have turned
TO thoughts of their possible location.
A. once it would be noticed that the
play Of the hand would be affected only
upon the contingency of both OF the
clubs being in South's hand. Exactly
therefore what occurred in actual play
could be foreseen in case of failure 10
take COSnlLduCt OA lhiS pOSSAOAC wv
sion of cards.
The question of loss through the es-
adjustment of club later in dummy
made possible by East oyertaking and
leading high in the suit suggesteG lit
tie danger II two tricks in clubs we're
not forthcoming where would the
fourth trick essential to the saving OF
game come from?
Either red ace, affording a possible
opportunity for re-entry and discard
il in South's hand, would place depend
ence for two winning trumps in Vests
hand TO save game-a most unlikely
contingency. II East had made the
play that was imperative by the ap-
pearsnce OF dummy's cards-overtsking
with the jack and leading the king OF
clubs. followed by the ace, West would
have been sure of two spade tricks.
A tenace position with ace-jack
over king would have been the out
come of Vests refusal to overtrump
il South should have ruffed a third
club. By this method the limit OF
tricks-ive in number-would have
been reached for East and West.

Uses Thereof.

in the first hand. The actual outcome
as a result Of fnesse could not be
predicted with the same degree of ac-
curacy, however. Enough evidence was
deducable from the bidding and play Of
the first trick 90 swing the balance in
favor - an immediate high trump play
instead of a finesse. A bid of four dla-
monds without supporting side cards
should have indicated 10 East North's
great strength in the suit and thereby
South's corresponding weakness. A re-
versal of this condition in another suit
of necessity clubs-followed as a
natural consequence, though the same
sharp contrast in division of cards was
not inferrable as in the first suit-dia-
monds.
Ruling possibilities suggested by
these and unusual suit distributions
were further favored by North's low
spade on his partners opening lead.
Surface indications, showing North's
extreme weakness in the suit, were so
plain that thoughts toward possible
motives Of number-showing were I'M
necessary. In addition 10 these indi-
cations, showing the desirabilty Of
trump leads in the furtherance Of de-
fensive play, the anticipation Of lone
king Of trumps fourth hand, suggested
by the great number Of trNnps appear
ing, held further warrant for a refusal
OF finesse.
Two immediate rounds of trumps
would exhaust all those held adversely
and put South in the lead. After run
ming OF his two winning spades South
would be compelled 20 switch TO clubs
in order TO avoid a suit which would
give one adversary a discard and the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-02-14

Another lesson afforded in the bid
ding of the hand is especially recon-
mended 70 those players who are blind
TO anything but no trump when favored
with three aces in their hand.
Had North yielded to the lure OF
aces, overcalling the heart declaration
with no trump and obtaining the con-
tract, East would have opened dia-
monds, establishing the suit with the
loss of only one trick. With estab-
lished diamond suit against him, North
would have played for hearts fnessing
the second round upon regainlng the
lead with the ace of spades. A club
lead following West winning with the
queen of hearts would have forced the
ace from North in order to Ehut out
East's only possible re-entry.
Discards on winning hearts would
have failed to embarrass either East
or West, and the final result would
have shown five tricks and a saved
game. Thus a violation Of the ethics
Of partnership interest would have
caused the loss Of a game and rubber.
The argument that success was also
absent at suit make is answered in
South's failure 70 utilize the means at
his command TO the best advantage,
particularly noticeable in the want of
recognition of the true value of the
fnesse.
The main point TO be considered in
denying a fnesse is in the probable
action Of the opponent based upon the
cards exposed in dummy and the neces-
sary action TO save a game, or rubber,
bearing in mind at all times the in
formation gained in the bidding.
The following hand, played recently
at Brooklyn club. illustrates the point
and at the same time marks a rather
interesting point of play.
