And she wondered if Monty would

Monty had told her something
once, about getting married.

money. You won't be like all the

Radio Bridge Game No. II

CEVERAL very interesting points
Oin bridge bidding, and play were
brought out in the eleventh of the
series of radio bridge games broad
cast from station WFBM Tuesday.
Mrs. Virginia TuSos Of Chicago and
F. E. Bruelheidc OF Minneapolis were
partners of Milton C. Work and Will
our M. Whitehead. These we're the
hands:
Work, South, dealer: Spades, A,
@, 10, 9, 5: hearts, K, 4; diamonds
A, 10, 7, 6, q; clubs, g. Whitehead,
West; Spades K, ], 3; hearts, A, j,
7, G; diamonds 6, 4; clubs K, 10, 7, 5.
Mrs. Tubbs, North; Spades 7, 6. a.;
hearts, @, 8, diamonds K, @, 8, 5, g.;
clubs, A, 9, 4. Bruelheide, East:
Spades 8, 2; hearts 10, 8, 5, 8, Q;
diamonds 8; clubs @. j, 8, 6, 2.
Holding a good two-suitor, Work,
South, opened the auction by calling
Jne spade, the higher-v valued of his
twe-suits. Whitehead, West, had
two possible declarations; one, no
trump, or double.
He preferred the informatory dou-
BILE, as the surest way to discover the
bid which best suited his partner. If
the latter responded with hearts,
Whitehead could assist the bid. A
diamond bid from his partner would
make whitehead safe in no
trumps. If clubs we're the answer,
Whitehead would rest content.
After Whitehead's double OF
Souths spade, Mrs. Tubbs, North,
passed. In response to the double,
Bruelheide, East, said two hearts,
although his club suit was stronger.
An an informatory double always
should be construed as an effort
to arrive at a game-going bid, the
preferable answer always is a ma
jor suit or no trump. When enc
major is doubled the inference is
clear that the doubler is anxious
for the other major.
Therefore, if partner holds at
least four cards of the other major
he should name that suit rather
than a minor, even though the
minor be both longer and stronger.
Work, South, said three dia-
monds, Selling his first opportunity
to show the two-suited character of
his hand. Whitehead, West, went
to three hearts.
Although he realized that his
partner might have very weak
hand. he was sure that he held at
least four hearts. Whitehead's own
strength in hearts, his doubleton in
diamonds and his spade holding
amply justified the assist.
q =
MFRS. TUBES, North, bid four
1V1 diamonds. Although she held
normal support for the spades, her
diamonds we're so much stronger
that she felt game at diamonds
was much more probable than game
at spades.
1t was possible that her partner,
following the correct procedure Of
bidding the higher valued suit of a
two-suiter first, had started by bid

zinc box, hoisted the little red flag
which would indicate to the post
man that the box contained mail to
be picked up, and was turning back
into her lane when a small car rat
tied past her and stopped at the
row of mail boxes
An old man IN the blue-gra uni
form of the postman opened the
three boxes whose flags were up, ex-
tracted mail, and ratified of down
the highway. He did not see the
girl, who had collapsed in the ruts
of the lane, her body shaking with
both terror and relief.
Gradually relief was swallowed up
in terror. She had done a horrible
thing. Why couldn't God have CIV
en- her little more time before He
had made her act irrevocable?
Why had He sent that postman
along just a minute after she had
dropped her letter into the box?
Now that the letter was gone be-
yond recall, Crystal told herself that
she would have extracted it from

"CTAR bright, star light-first star
Dive seen tonight:
I wish may, wish 1 might-have
the wish that I wish tonight"
Ashtoreth had thrown about her
head chiffon scarf spangled with
silver stars.
AID over her velvet dinner gown
tslsshed to the waist in back a
wrap that was studded with semi
precious stones. like the best bro
caded gown of an archbishop.
She felt like a princess in a fairy
tale, who had been rather drab
once upon a time. But, by virtue
of being beautiful, had come at last
into her own. =.
She considered the armament
-. and touched the silver star on
her low, white forehead. A trifle
bizarre. But none could deny that
it suited her unusual beauty.
Hollis had accounts in New York
at all the smartest shops That
struck Ahtoreth as a bit strange
But then it was very convenient
and, after all, she wasn't marrying
the mans past.
She bought French lingerie, and
a squirrel coat. Ten pairs of shoes,
and five of colored pumps, with
rhinestone heels and buckles.
Six hats. Seven dinner gowns
Zone for every night of the week.,
two evening wraps (the other was

exquisite lingerie over there? ="

Still, it did seem that Lady Mary
might have been a little more con-
siderate. The way she was always
talking of things and people OF
which Ashtoreth knew nothingl
And there was another dreadful
woman. Mrs. Humbert Worringford,
who lived in one of those places you
read about in the Gibbs novels. and
wanted them to go shooting.
Hollis had lots of friends aboard.
They drank innumerable aperitifs,
and played inceSsant bridge. And
chatted of books and travel. and the
stock market.
So that Ashtoreth had, So times,
a suffocating feeling of being COM
pletely swamped. Cocktails made
her ill. because the passage was
little rough.
She couldn't play bridge g. nor
deck games. And she'd had so little
time to read! AS for stocks, and

can't know everything.
AShtoreth was glad that Lady
