Paul Stoddard, the director, pre-
sided over the program Of litera-
ture discussion. Joseph Herges-
heimer, his characteristics, the
outstanding traits of his style of
writing as expressed in his short
stories, were commented on. The
resemblance OF his style OF writing
to that of contemporary writer's
was brought out.
Edgar Allen Poe, the chief rep
resentative of the romantic move
ment in America, was then discuss
ed. The structure of his writings,
particularly his short stories, bears
a strong similarity to those Of o.
Henry.
The works of the French writer,
Theophile Gauthier. were then
briefly commented on.
The position of Ralph Waldo
Emerson IN American literature
was the next subject for discussion.
Mr. Stoddard outlined for the MEM
bers an interesting history Of
Emerson's life, his most popular
works, and illustrated with many
Of the better known quotations
taken from Emerson's writings. He
was among the first writer's in
America to take an interest in
things Oriental, particularly their
philosophy. He displayed a keen
interest in the religion of the east
and many Of his poems and stories
portray this.

The Bidding

The Bidding
South, the dealer, started the
bidding with one spade, West
overcalled with two clubs, North
bid two diamonds and East
passed. South now reasoned as
follows-his partner had made q
free bid in diamonds, therefore
South felt quite confident that
North held at least five diamonds
to the king. This would give
them five diamond tricks. three
spade tricks and the ace of clubs
which would be nine tricks at no
trump.
In addition, North certainly
held something in hearts. SO in
stead of supporting his partners
diamonds. South bid two no trump
which bought the contract. In
contract of course, the bidding
would be different.
The Play
West led the king of club
which South, the declarer, won
with the ace. The declarer then
led four rounds of diamonds, win
ming the fourth diamond in dunn
my with the king. West followed
with two diamonds and discarded
a spade and club. East fol-
lowed with the four of diamonds
and discarded the five and four of
hearts and the. six of clubs. The
nine Of diamonds was led from
dummy, East discarding the deuce
Of spades, declarer the three of
hearts and West the deuce of
hearts. The seven of diamonds
was played from dummy. East
could not discard spade or all of
the declarer's spades would be
good. He was forced to throw
away his nine of clubs. The de-
clarer discarded the eight Of
clubs and West discarded a spade.
The four Of spades was led from
dummy, South, the declarer. win

The king and queen of spades
