Interesting Bridge Hands
By E. V. SHEPARD

seven diamonds. Only in case
z held two hearts and seven dia-
monds was game assured. If
that was the only division that
would give him game, B had to
play the hand as if he saw that
division actually.
B led dummy'S Q of hearts,
to coax a cover in case Y. held
the missing K, although moral
ly certain that z held that
card. Y played the 8. AS
his only chance of going game
B won the trick with his Ace.
The 8 fell at his left, and
B led his S of hearts. rs K
won the trick. 2 led back the
8 of clubs. Dummy's Ace
won the trick. Y played the.
10. Evidently z had no more
clubs.
Dummy's @ of spades was
led. When the K did not
cover, B overplayed with his
Ace. Then to make certain
that z was not tricking him,
by playing the 8 of hearts on
the first lead of that suit, as
if held no lower trump, B led
his of hearts. z discarded
the 7 of diamonds, and US
last trump fell. There was a
chance that spades were held
3-3, and not 40. but if so
dummy could ruff a return
lead of that suit in case z
held three spades.
The declarer next led his j
of spades, to make certain
that z played his K, provided
he held that card. rs K won
the spade trick, and having no
more of that suit, he had to
lead the Ace of diamonds. That
was the thing that B had plan
ned upon forcing z to do, and
he accomplished his purpose in
the only reasonable way, by
stripping z of all other cards
possible to lead. That was the
third and last trick won by
w, and the declarer scored his
doubled contract of four.
All B had to do was to win
the second lead of diamonds
with his K. Then he led a low
spade and dummy trumped.
The declarer trumped a re-
turn lead of clubs. B held no
more trumps, but his 10 of
spades picked up Y's fourth
card of that suit, leaving the
6 of the spades good, and Civ
ing B his tenth trick.

The White House reception
couple of weeks ago decided
definitely for this winter that
official Washington will wear
gloves. They were worn by
practically everybody, and in
every smart version. There
were plain white kids predomi-
mating, eggshell kids next, and
then the decorated gloves, not
fussy or noticeable, but just
beautifully and discreetly
trimmed with Shirring, tucking,
cording. a tiny bit of beading
here or there, or some other
unobtruSive touch to make
them look rich and fine. You
might leave them off for a less
formal affair, but surely for a
real occasion" you will need
them most decidedly. The
feminine clothes we are wear
ing demand them, even if the
dress is informal. Young girls
are wearing short evening
gloves, and women of maturity
like the full 16-button length.
Trimmed Gloves New
In the afternoon there is no
more chance of a choice. You
must wear gloves to any af-
fair that is formal in the
least, and you will need them

Most Of the tricks to put one
to sleep fall down in the crisis.
Millions Of sheep have been
counted but not one minute of
sleep has resulted.
A better method for most
people is to repeat short rhymes
the sillier, the better, or
phrases-the sillier the better.
One is F.. P. AS rhyme about
Congressman Sirovitch:
"Life's too mysterovitCh,
Don't take it Sirovitch."
Another good one is:
Can you make a sentence
with orange juice in it?"
Eyes. Orange juice sorry you
made me cry?"
Or:
Can you make a sentence
with Nemesis in it??"
"Yes. Nemesis we met, I have
not been the same"
Here is one method which
has sometimes succeeded for
us: After having made the pa.
tient understand that the rest
less condition into which he
worked himself was the only
cause of his insomnia, we have
asked him to go to bed at some
time before his usual hour, tell
ing him not to try to go to
sleep, but simply to give him.
self time to allow the excite
ment caused by his day to quiet
down. He may get up, If he
desires, half an hour later, and
not go to bed again until his
accustomed time.
Now, during this period when
the patient, thinking that he is
simply resting, is not trying to
go to sleep, it frequently hap
pens that he falls asleep and
does not wake up until morn
ing. From that time on, be-
ing reassured, he will go to
sleep normally.

easily, and which cause the dis

dition of pSychotherapy, with
its reconstruction and liber-

direct processes, to bring back
sleep to such patients, who
sometimes have been without it
for a long time.
All those subjects who do
not sleep because they are
thinking about things are much
more preoccupied by their
thoughts themselves than by
the insomnia which follows
them.

Optimist

With Eastward Shadows


The green tide ebbs; light dies;
the wild wind wanes;
The darkness and the silence
hover near,
And in this changeful hour
when day diSdainS
The world, old thoughts re-
turn, old thoughts of fear,
For man cannot forget that
earlier man
Who cringed before the COM
ing of the night,
Or cast him off, in spite Of life's
proud plan
Through all the ages, or dis
own him quite.
And still, with threat of dark,
with shade that falls
And runs so swiftly eastward
on the ground.
Each turns in thought to some
dear dwellings, walls,
To some blest place where
waiting love is found;
To love, that knows no ebb-tide
of delight;
To love, that burns unquenched
by any night!

In "double-dummy bridge"

few clues are afforded them
upon which to play their play.

one of the finest exhibitions of
double-dummy accuracy that I

Lies our darling sister,

AS to end your heavenly bliss
Just to have you with us
Though you we sadly miss.

you.
