Bite off more than you can chew,
Then chew it.
Plan for more than you can do.
Then do it.
Hitch your wagon to a star.
Keep your seat and there you are!'
In Auction. as in every other game.
it is much easier to advise the player
how to bid or lead in the opening of
the hand than how to play the deal
Endless instructions may be given. vet
the fall Of the cards will alter the game
and many intricate situations will arise.
Rarely will situations repeat them
selves, and sound and exhaustive
study may be made of brilliant plays
with the same result in actual practice
circumstances alter cases. The
expert will recognize the different
circumstances and be able to alter his
play to suit the fall Of the cards.
The plan Of play of a hand by de-
clarer should be always made with three
objects in view: First, and foremost,
to fulfill his contract: Second, to secure
game: Third when game is secured
to try for Slam. On the other hand,
the opponents of declarer naturally
play with exactly the opposite idea:
their main object should be to save
game, and their next to defeat the
contract.
The declarer never should take a
finesse or any other play which would
in any. way jeopardize the game, even
should it., il successful, win one or more
extra tricks. Game is far more i'm
portant than the contract ~
Great Falls tribune., 1922-03-12

An extra trick counts but little. but
failure to carry out contract or win
game may and generally does incur
heavy loss.
Suppose the score is Love (no count
on either side): declarer has bid three
Spades and has won two tricks over
the book. and has but one chance in
the remainder Of his holding-the Ace
and Queen of Clubs in Dummy-and
the lead in his own hand. One more
trick will fulfil his contract and two
will give him game. All other tricks.
as shown by the foregoing, arc the
adversaries' whenever they obtain the
lead. Declearer can in no way place the
King Of Clubs. Should he finesse and
lose, all he will have are the eight
tricks already taken. His Ace will
die" fwaste in bis hand, since he
cannot regain the leadl and he will
be one down." In this case his duty
is plain. Finessing may lose twenty
seven trick points and fifty penalty
polnts--seventy-seve in all. On the
other hand, he may win, in addition
to the extra trick, the game. If count
ing game in one deal he would get 1876
bonus, and if counting Rubbers he
might get 250. Hitch you wagon to a
star, keep your seat and there you
are" :.
With an even chance, who would not
risk loss of seventy seven for a
chance of gaining 1874 or 259?
Again, under similar conditions. with
the trump a minor suit. the finesse
should be refused and the winning of
the contract be assured for in this
case three more tricks are needed to

Growth of sales and production,
which has kept both of the Edison re-

RECITAL DELIGHTS
CRITICAL AUDIENCE
Lyric Soprano and Bass Bari
tone Render Pleasing Pro-
gram at Congregational.

A musical treat of unusual merit
was accorded the people of Great
Falls who attended the joint recital
of Mrs. Howard Elliott of Geraldine
and Stephen /. Gaylord of Great Falls
in the Congregational church Monday
night, March 6. Every number of these
two finished artists was rendered with
a quality of melody that delighted the
audience.
The contrast between the two
voices was so great that at first the
audience was almost startled but as
the program continued the numbers
were greeted with an enthusiasm that
is rarely witnessed in an amateur mu
steal event. The high lyric soprano
voice of Mrs. Elliott, with its wistful
appeal that touches the heart strings,
left nothing to be desired. Her high
tones were of bell-lke quality that
marks her as one. of the finest soprano
singers in the country. Following n
series of songs BY her, Mr.. Gaylord
carried the crowd down the scale until
it assumed the mood to receive his
that won him happy favor from his
audience. and much applause.
Mrs. Elliott, through many years of
public singing. has that easy, simple
stage personality of the highest class
artists, coupled with a natural charm
that has won her popularity in many
parts of the country. Every number
was sung beautifully. but it was in
the difficult Aria From Robertoil Di-
ayolo' that Mrs. Elliott showed her
range and. finished training.
The audience will long remember her
singing and she has won definite
place in popular musical circles here
that will always make her appearance
welcome.
The rich full tones of Mr. Gaylord's
deep bass baritone voice formed beau
tiful contrast to Mrs. Elliott's soprano

ling said one Of these lovely women
Its planning your day and beginning
il right. Then there's no need for
hurry or worry. It's the only way to
keep up with yourself. Then you
have time for your friends. and what
would life be without them? You have
| time to read. You have time for pleas
ure. If it is true you get out of life
what you put into it. you must put
system into it to get success back
The whole thing boils itself down to
! taking life more easily. Only by sys-
tematizing the day can this be done.
! The hurried, tense. nervous. irritable
woman with Il face to match has no
system. The placid, well poised, ami
able attractive woman has. II you get
a system you naturally do what you
can that day and let the rest go over
until the next, eliminating the unnec
cessaries as you go along.
It's All in the System
Into this systematic day you must
inject the observance of health and
beauty rules Just take the morning
bath, as an example. This habit alone
will do wonders toward getting you
into perfect frame of mind and body
for the day ahead. At the same time
it is beautifying and. after ALL this
WnOle system ldea or mine is more
healthy and beauty success for you
than financial. Brushing the teeth
after each meal. brushing the hair at
night before retiring nothing will
keep it more beautiful and healthy
getting some form of exercise daily
these things all belong in the day of
the woman who is systematic.
The woman who is always rushing
and hurying never has time to cold
cream her face at night: more often
than not she slides into bed without
washing her face, much less taking
bath; she brushes her hair just before
it is shampooed to get the snarls out.
She hasn't time for any of the nice de-
tails that distinguish her prettier sister.
she hasn't time to improve her mind
by reading. she hasn't time to culti-
vate interests that give her fresh
outlook and keep youth in her heart.
It's all in the system, | repeat, all in

tablish as fine living system as the

reason to be time tied than she has.
