Here is just another case of how

from all over the country. After

would dance again with her.
But as Laurel and the young
man came up the steps, Mrs.
Delahunt intercepted him on
the verandah.
Bad man, keeping me wait

She grabbed Bruce Harvey and
dragged him off in the most

Now because the young man
had hurt Laurel and she was
feeling very sore, and humili-
ated, and her heart ached
wretchedly, that made her
doubly pert to Connie.
What did you think we
were doing, mother? Honey
mooning?"
I've a. good mind to send
you home"
And at that, from one who
had been indifferent to her
doings for so long, and had
never tried to be a guide or
confidante, Laurel flared up
like a furnace.
Connie, the matter with you
is that you're damn jealous!

When we open the question

have anything to do with them.
One physician announces in the
paper that he will sit in a

that no cold will result. DR..

and that of other volunteers by
staying in an icebox with an

The conclusion was that this
drastic procedure had no eff.

There are, perhaps, two ex-

nament players, before they
really knew much about the
game. The official system, us.
ing the semidemand two bid is
admirably adapted to the op.
ton of showing features.
The Announcement
An opening bid of two of
any suit announces game ex-
pected, slam hoped, provided
partner holds normal trump
support and not less than two
probable tricks" An assist or
shift proceeds as under the or
dlnary rules of the official SyS-
tenn. If the original bidder
thinks that slam probabilities
exist, under the feature show
ing option he does not raise the
bid in his suit that partner has
accepted as TrumpS; he bids
his lowest suit headed by an
Ace. This is the signal for
the assisting partner to show
the lowest suit held that is
headed by an Ace. Lacking a
suit headed by an Ace. the as.
sisting hand may bid the suit
of which partner has just
shown an Ace. Such a bid
announces possession of the
King. Lacking ability to show
an Ace of a side suit or to show
the King of a suit of which
the original bidder has shown
the Ace, the assisting hand
shifts back to the original suit.
thus announcing "a slam is i'm.
possible"
If the original bidder has his
suit bid of two raised to three,
he will bid game in case he
does not seek a slam. Only
when seeking a slam does the
opening bidder show Aces.
Jumps Opening Bid
Most of the slam seeking oc-
ours when the original bidders
partner jumps an opening bid
of one to three. That is a de.
mand for the original bidder
to show his lowest side Ace, by
bidding that suit. He must
obey orders. Only in case the
original bidder holds no side
Ace may be rebid his original
suit. Under no circumstances
may the original bidder refuse
to respond to his partners de-
mand for another bid.
A third method Of giving the
slam signal is when the open
ing bidders declaration has
been over-called at his left.
Provided the partner has excep-
tional support for the opening
bid, and no losers in opponents
suit, he signals for Ace showing,
by making a bid of the oppos.
ing suit.
