Among the many difficulties of the defensive
game are the choice of suit when one has to
lead up to dummy. Very few have the courage
to get out of this by leading the trump when
any other suit looks hopeless or gives dummy
roo great an advantage.
One of the most common faults of the he
ginner is to refuse to go on with the partners
suic because dummy has the best card Of it
and is sure to win the trick, as if avoiding
that suit would compel dummy in some mys

One peculiar weakness of beginners In this

were not apparent; they were not given
AS for the stand Of the japanese nobility
especially of the noble mothers--it was no
secret. The reasons therefore stood out simple
and shining, so that the men rushing along the
highway could read and understand them. The
mothers of Japanese arstocracy wished their
daughters to have and enjoy the most precious
things in hfe--namely, the very things, oppor-
tunities, joys which they had never had With
most of the noble women of Japan of the early
Meiji era or of the years before that their
days were passed in the lyric quiet of sheltered
homes. Tennis, horseback riding, track
athletics-they were undreamed of they were
non-existent in their days. All these have
come out of the magic box of life and are
before their eyes: they stand at the gate of the
new temple of social, cultural and political
freedom for women. They cannot enter into
1t themselves, and no realizes this keener
than they. And they wish their daughters to
enter into the new temple and take possession.
There is nothing miraculous about their zeal.

much more important--the democratic tendency

On May 30 of this year the Lawn Tennis
Association Of Japan officially announced that
the women players are going to make their
bow in tournament play in the fall of 1928.
The inauguration Of wornen's championshin

interest now being shown by the girl students

mixed doubles championship was played at the
