the only outside trick could be ace

Declarer therefore determines to
lead diamonds. Declarer wins this

The of diamonds is now played
and is overtaken by West with ace
of diamonds. No matter what card
West plays thereafter Declarer is

would have been played from dunn

Biggest Two Cents Worth.

A round-table discussion among q
gathering of women conferred about the
question of the manner In which one
could get the biggest 2 cents worth.
It started when some woman COM
planned of the fact the penny seemed
to her to be without value. Soon the
keen minds of the party were bent on
disproving her contention.
It was difficult to decide whether the
biggest or cents worth award should

newspaper. The stamp gave one Nation
wide service for cents and carried
ones message at the lowest rate and In
the safest manner. It even carried ones
letter to foreign places and, failing to
find the addressee, would return 1t In
tact.
Those favoring the award to the
newspaper contended that 1t offered one
invaluable news for couple of pennies,
more or less. This news enables us to
live better and cheaper, to have an in

affairs and to buy the necessaries o.
