How to Play Auction Bridge
 By ANNIE ADAIR FOSTER Original Bids of No Trunps

An original bid of two in mo- trump promises, either:
 l. Four aces in the hand or,
 ?. A count of IS in the hand.
 There are hands so strong tha: the count is even higher than IS, and when this is true, and you have a count of 20 or more, only bid one no-trump, particularly if all four suits are well protected.
 Discard under a screen for weak ness and seven or above for strength.
 This reminds me of friend of mine. being an inveterate traveller. joined the yearly exodus to Europe. She had never made voyage with out being violently seasick, so be- fore her last voyage consulted q physician on how to prevent this. He told her 10 cat q great deal. Being inclined to corpulcncy. she did no. like this prescription, so she en- gagged another physician. and he told her to eat very, very little. Not car ing for his advice any more than the first, she finally consulted Il third physician, who knowing her fondness for bridge. said to her:
 "Whether you follow Dr. So-and- sos advice or the other doctors de- pends entirely upon whether you wish to discard from strength or weakness
 This bid of one may permit an ad- verse bid which the on-trump bid- der can double, thus increasing the value of the defeat.
 If partners lead and you have only two in the suit led, play high and then low as come-on signal that you can take the third trick. When you hold queen and two small ones, play the higher of the two small ones, then the lower to skow you will take the third trick.
 You can't always do this. Some times you hold the king and only small cards; sometimes you hold high cards and not the king, but encourage your partner when you can.
