Many players dislike to bid as high as three

partners suit, and further, that if he has
little or nothing in your suit he may have to
shift again, and the first thing you know
you are bidding three or four
The evil is largely imaginary. In many
cases the suit that denies the partners suit
may be the next best suit in the hand of the
first bidder. There must be something that fits
both hands or the distribution is very unusual
aud unusual distribution will beat any kind of
bidding In the previous column is a GOOD ex
ample of denying suits until the declaration
that fits both hands is found, neither Of the
opponents saying word.
This deal was played in duplicate game
Some players started with heart bid, which
is not sound, but is justified by many players
OH account Of tho outside strength. Others
started with no-trump, which is much better
but the outcome was the same in either case
when the situation was handled by good
players.
When 4 starts with heart A, of course
passes 10 double a one-trick bid would in
dicate weakness in hearts. Y denies the hearts
by calling spade, which 3 passes Now. Il
can do either of two things-go to no-trumps.
trusting his partner has strong spades and has
re-entry cards to get in and make them, as Il
can lead them only once, or he can shift and
call his next best suit, diamonds.
II he calls no-trump Y leaves ii alone and z
goes game. If he shifts to the diamonds II is
that goes to no-trumps, and equally goes
game. Three hearts and a spade is all A and
3 make.
At some tables z, starting with a heart,
did not like to so no-trumps with no heart to
lead, but thought nc had such good outside
support for the hearts he could leave it in.
The result was that z was set, with honors
scored against him.
When q started with no-trump, intending
the hearts for secondary bid if necessary, Y
took him out with the spades If the take-out
was two spades q denied the suit with three
hearts and Y went to no-trumps. If the take
out was three. spades, showing strength in the
suit and also tricks outside, which is the cor
rect way to indicate that the partner may
safely return to no-trumps il he is weak in
spades, went to three no-trun1ps and
made it.
The only mistakes made on this deal were

The Soul Called for Gold
And Greens and Reds

AS the decorator had prophesied in his first
brief glimpse, my soul, it seemed, called for
gold, And green. and red. My soul, to put
it crudely, resembled Chinese joss house of
the baser, meaner sort. The yellow walls
were covered with shining gold paper The
mahogany furniture was tucked into the bed
rooms and the maids rooms and the back
hall The decent green danask portieres gave
way to black velvet. There may be better
dust catcher than black velvet but I've never
found it, and believe / ought to know by
this time. The near-Colonial nantel, covered
with gold and black paint held two gold and
black vases. The book shelves took on coat
of dull black enamel. The dear little rugs
followed the mahogany into semi-retirement.

THE SCHOOL OF AUCTION RRIDGE

NhEkE is one part of the game of auc-
ton that usually is slowly learned, and
H that is the Importance of warning the
partner when you have reason to be-
lleVe that he is going to get hurt Players very
soon see the Importance Of supporting the
partner when they have good cards, and the
usual tendency is to carry it to the extreme of
assisting him when they should not do So
1t Is not at all uncommon to see player as
slst his partners heart bid for instance, lust
because he has four or five hearts himself
without stopping to consider what use they
Will be for making tricks by trumping It is
also quite common for player to assist his
partners heart bid just because he has tbree
or tour sure tricks in his hand, regardless of
the fact that he has only one or two small
hearts.
1 ne average declaration is made on five
card suits, and there arc eight what Culbert-
son calls "remainders" distributed among the
other players If the partner has only one of
these one adversary or the other must have at
least four. It is therefore the duty of the part
ner to warn the declarer that such is the case,
and nc can do SO only by. calling some other
SUIT II he has anything as good as five cards,
or even four to two or three top honors.
This is called denying suits, and it is one Of
the most important parts Of the game when
considered from the standpoint of arriving at
an understanding between the partners as to
what Will probably be the best declaration for
the combined hands-not for one hand alone

Chairs Are Not Solely
For Sitting On

The carved oak chairs aren't as comfort
ahlc as those Of some Of my prc-oak periods
but, then, think of the lines. Who cares about
OF almost stone archways? I've managed to
slip in few overstuffed things, though they
aren't in period and the family knows which
chairs to choose. With the Long Island trains
the way they are it's quite as we'll to keep ones
guests subconscious close to the timetable.
Unless you've gone in for the Renaissance
and polychrome, carved oak is quite the last
word. Expresses my soul and all that. Still,
I've had my soul expressed frequently in
furniture. The partner of my joys and living
room hopes ] won't refurnish again. Not
that he's SO fond of oak things. But, know
ing what has gone before, he doesn't like to
think about what may come SO we've set
tied down to oak For while anyhow.
When was first married away back in the
late mission period, started expressing my
self in my home. I was child bride then, as
1 apy woman will admit having been, if she's
now married more than five years. ! wanted
everything cute and dainty, and, oh, SO girlish.
Our bedroom was done in ivory, with sweet
little cane insets, and the lights were covered
with pink tulle and lace like boudoir caps.
The living room was done in mission. 1t was
stylish, and I felt that mission was so gorge
ously masculine. 1t showed SO plainly that
there was man in the house. The chairs
were SO heavy that no one ever moved them.
For dix months at time they would stand in
the same spot and the floor would be carefully
wiped up around each leg. But then you
know mission furniture. 1t looks like set Of
children's brown building blocks suffering
from giantisni. To show my cuteness and
youth, added some trick furniture--chairs
that slid under table and were supposed to
be slid out again in time for bridge, and lamps
