There is apparently no problem at all heFd
from the expert point Of view, but there is one
from the ordinary players. West naturally
follows his king of spades with the ace when
he gets O high card from his partner, hoping
the latter was q singleton, and that East can
run the second round. South instead does the

ONE little household fact. known BY any
~ housewife, nearly wrecked q performance
of the Barber Of Seville" here few years
back when this opera was put On by the
Washington Opera Co., under the direction Of
Edouard Albion.
The lather which the barber smeaTS ON the
face Of his customer with such gusto Is h
reality made of whipped white Of egg. The
fluffy texture of the egg white makes 1t ideal
because an ordinary lather would hardly show
across the footlights as much more than just
a smear of white. The fiuf1ness Of the egg
white adds much to the humor of the situation.
On the night Of the performance, the job
Of preparing the latheT was given 10 one q

lore. As he broke the third or fourth egg,
part Of the yolk spilled into the whites, but he
went on unconscious that he had ruined the
whites % far as whipping was concerned. he
broke the rest Of the eggs and then started
whipping. Failing to get action right on the
start he whipped and whipped without success.
About 10 minutes before the curtain was 70
rise, the stage manager checked up and found
that the lather was still nothing but thin
sliafatly yellowish fluid. No more eggs were
on hand and for time the situation seemed
hopeless.
A hurried canvass Of homes near tine Aud1"
torium. however, yielded enough eggs TO MI the
needs and these were quickly transformed INTO
lather and the curtain went up only minute

When 1t came up in the national individual
masters tournament recently the bidding Of
this hand was rather obvious and ordinary at
all but enc of the tables 1t was the same at
this table up to a certain point, going thus:
West a diamond, North spade, East two
hearts South three clubs, West three dia-
monds, North four clubs, East four diamonds;
South pass, West four hearts, North pass, East
five diamonds.
1t was now up to South. In every. other
case he passed, but not so Henry p. Jaeger the
great Cleveland player. Not having had
enough strength to overcall four diamonds he,
nevertheless had enough to overcall f1ve-a

east, bid q spade: Mrs. Carter passed Mr..

On her second turn Mrs. Carter rebid with
two hearts. This brought two spades from
Mr.. Schenken, a pass from Mrs. Carter, three
diamonds from Mr.. Bernstine, and there it
ended.
Six-odd were made easily, only one club trick
being lost after the heart queen was led. But
six-o6d not having been bid, the champions
were beaten out of 1,250 points-500 for game
and $50 for slam-by the psychic bid of Mrs.
Wakeman.
Showing q genuine appreciation, and also
o sense Of humor. the champions were as
tickled by the event as were those who out
witted them. Between hands they told every
friend they could find about how the two
bridge teachers had "given them the AK"
Then, to make the story still better, Mrs.
Wakeman later told how she happened to
make the psychic original bid and rebid. "I
thought had the ace Of hearts," she said,
but was so excited over playing with the
