The Bidding

The Bidding
South opened the contracting
with one diamond; West bid two
clubs; North put in three heart
forcing bid; East went to three
spades; South went to four hearts
and West bid four spades which
was doubled.
The Play ...
South has the opening lead and
plays the king Of diamonds. The
dummy goes down with a singleton
diamond. South figures that the
club suit will probably quickly set.
The only chance, South has to de-
feat the contract Is to kill the de-
clarer's re-entries Into dummy.
Therefore, South continues with the
queen of diamonds, forcing dummy
to ruff with the. Ave Of spades, the
declarer dropping the jack Of dia-
monds.
The ace OF clubs was played from
dummy, the declarer dropping q
singleton queen. This was followed
with the jack Of clubs. North COW
ering with the king and declarer
trumping.
The declarer led the king Of
trump, which South won with the
ace and then South led his jack Of
hearts which North won with the
king.
North realizes what his partner
is attempting to do SO he deliber-
ately leads his ace Of hearts, which
will force the declarer to trump
in dummy with the nine of spades.
The ten Of clubs Is led from dunn
my, the declarer discarding the ten
Of diamonds. South trumping with
the six OF spades. South leads the
nine Of hearts. Dummy trumps with
the ten of spades, declarer playing
the seven Of hearts.
A small club Is then led from
dummy, declarer trumping with the
Jack Of spades. He then picks up
South's other trump with his queen
OF spades and. then declarer's queen
Of hearts and four of spades take
the last of two tricks. but by fore
ing the dummy to ruff. North and
south have defeated the contract
one trick.

that tourists must leave the coun-

They are aware that hundreds an

She knew that she was expected to
be some sort of q wild creature
who would create scandal. and ex-
element wherever she went. So
she rented q white hillside home
and settled down to q very quiet
and peaceful life.
Our outdoor social activities such
as hiking, horseback riding and
golfing have interested Tallulah i'm
mensely. But she has steered clear
of the indoor sports in which the
clink OF ice against glass plays
such a large part. The actress want
ed a rest before strating her pic
ture and she Is getting It in large
doses. After the Aim is completed
perhaps then she again will pull the
unexpecvted and start doing some
Of the wild things Hollywood has
expected her to do.
Miss Bankhead Is quite interest
ed in her next picture. She doesn't
know yet what 1t is going to be.
But she does know It will be a
story perfectly suited to her-other-
wise she won't make It. She has
three picture to her credit now,

By NEA Service

BY NEA Service
New York, March 8.--If man
has to have both women and golf,
he might as we'll know something
about them. Anyhow. that's what
the p. G. A. officials thought, so
they conducted a study. This Is
what they learned:
Women take more than 80 per
cent of the golf lessons given by
United States professionals.
Women residing in the northern
and western portions of the United
States play more golf and take
more instructions than those
dwelling in the south.
Women are more adaptable
students Of golf than men.
Women take a whole series OF
golf lessons, from beginning to
end; men take one and then go
out and play.
Women learn to handle the
wood clubs better than men; the
men star at the irons. however.
Women possess more natural
rhythm than men, but are not
such good judges of distance.
