that the life of popular song hit was

THE HOW-THE WHEN-THE WHY

Mrs. C., for a practice which makes
for exploiting prominence for any rea-
son Whatsoever Is a deplorable one
at best, and to ask a friend to be
present at this reception because she
is prominent and because she will lend
prestige to your club Is neither fair
to your friend nor to yourself. This
is an abuse frequently practiced by
organizations, and likewise frequently
tolerated by semiprominent persons,
that mutual advertising effect may
be enjoyed.
| should hold myself considerably
above such practice. At least. /
should, while acting president of my
organization, attempt to keep the
skirts of that orga nization clear of
all this sort of thing. II you keep
yourself clear. you will not, then, need
help in wording note to your friend
a note that will prevail upon her to
accept an invitation from you that
you acknowledge to be one for per-
sonal gain. Sorry. but true.

Salient Points of the Bidding.

South's opening spade bid is as
sisted twice by North on normal
length in spades and strength in
clubs and diamonds, although his hold
ing is slightly below the mathemati-
cal requirement for a second assist.
The extra strength of the club suit,
however, could well offset this slight
deficiency. South could not have re-
bid. Vests rebid of hearts, palpably
an overbid, was justified by the value
of his four honors, which would mini
miZe the probable loss~if the bid were
left in.
Salient Points of tire Play.
Trick 1--East starts an echo in
hearts quite properly with the jack,
despite the erroneous idea of some
players that an echo should not be
made with an honor. The jack, how
ever, is the highest honor with which
an echo may properly be made.
