LESSON NO. IS

Leads
 Many requests have been recelv- ed asking us to include lesson an leads. It is to be understood however, that the subject or leaos is no part of the Official system. Many bridge authorities have their own ideas on this subject ana thev may or may not agree on all the suggested leads in this les son. There is very little dimerence of opinion, but some writers nave a few individual theories Wnlcn are entirely sound and optional.
 The importance of the correct opening lead cannot be over-em- phasized and a careful study or this lesson will be rewarded With the profound gratitude of your partner, and the respect of your opponents. We will discuss, in or der, leads at no-trump, and leaos at suit declarations. We will men ton a few poor leads.
 After the bidding has been completed, the adversary to the left of Declarer must make an opening lead, but there are several points which must be taken into consideration. We will discuss them in order:
 m If the lead is against a no- trump declaration: (a) What should be led if partner
 has not bid?
 (b) What should be led If partner
 has bid?
 (s) If the lead is against . suit declaration:
