WHAT TO EXPECT

All four aces will be held by
one Of the four players about
once in 95 deals, so that a
specified player (as yourself)
may expect to hold $50 Aces"
as it is termed, once in 379
deals.
Lord Marlborough was so poor
a card holder that a hand con-
tanning no card above a 9, Is
still termeN "a Marlborough"
There is one chance in 1928
for a particular player to hold
so poor a hand. Often a hand
lacking a single probable trick
is termed "a bust"
It is important to know how
q given number of missing
cards most probably are divided
between opponents. In case
you find nine cards in your
own hand and in dummy, your
best chance as declarer Is TO
go for the drop. That means
that you should lay down Your
Ace and King, expecting to
capture lie missing four cards
in two leads. Five missing
cards break 80, SO times in
100. Six missing cards Of a
suit break 3-3 only 35 times in
100. Eight with Ace, King,
Jack call for a finesse when
trying 20 trap the missing
Queen. Finesse also when hold
ing 10 to the Ace, Queen, Jack.
Contir rually knowledge con-
cerning what you may expect
of your partner is needed to
bid or play to the best advan-
tage.
Chances in 1000 for partner
to hold missing cards:
The Washington times., 1932-03-14
1000 1000 1000 1000 1000

The above table shows, for
example, that before you have
seen any hand except your own
that your partner is more liable
to hold one of two cards missing
from your own hand than he is
either to hold neither one nor
both of them. There are air st
even chances that your partner
will hold just one Of three miss
ing cards. Seven times out Of
10 your partner will hold either
one or two cards Of four that
are missing, and almost the
same is true for his holding
either one or two Of five miss
ing cards.
An av rage dummy contains
three probable assisting tricks
therefore your partner requires
something better than three
probable tricks to at once assist
an opening bid of only one.
He may assist an open: :4lg bid
of two upon something less
than the average three prob
able aSSistins tricks. Four
small trumpS plus one sure
trick, or even four small trumps
justify an immediate assist Of
an opening bid Of three (when
employed as a demand bid.)
SPEAK k ing mathematically,
normal trump support means
that declarer and dummy joint
ly hold eight trumps, or seven
in case dummy holds the high,
est miSSi. g honor. ar.
proach tactics, now almost uni
versally followed by every bid
der, make it unwise to support
at once a trump make upoE
only three small trumps, pro
vided any other course is open.
You may, however, at once sup
port upon three trumps, pro-
vided these are headed by
either Ace, King or Queen
Jack.
The way trumps are divided
Gas 70, SO, or 5-4) between de-
clarer and dummy has no posi-
BILE influence on the way ad-
verse trumpS lie. The contrary
belief is merely an ancient
superstition of unknown origin.

We have words of terror un-numbered in
language-but there is not terrible to
the person who has a child or children that
one KIDNAPER. That word contains others
of dread - Despair-Fear Agony - bottomless
SorrOw-and Murder-for the murder of
mother would be lesser crime against her
than to steal her child. The kdnaper deals her
out from clear sky of happiness the very
epitome of fear-far beyond any fear that she
could possibly feel for herself, beyond the fear
of death, beyond the fear of any other catastrO-
phe that could overtake her. He takes the
thing that she loves best, shelters most, fears
for the deepest and has the divnest compassion
for. And leaves her in the blind darkness of
ignorance of where in all the wide, terrible
beautiful world it is, and how it is faring!
There could be pain for a mother beyond
this.
FEAR has always been a sad and terrible
word, and those who will it upon another in any
way of the wicked. But to deal woman,
the mother of baby, fear in its last and most
overwhelming FORMS a crime for capital pun
ishment, matter how harmless the ending
death to the kidnaper!" should be a universal
law, without question debate. Making it inn
possible for this human outside humanity, whose
trade a respectable safe-cracker would to
think of, to be known-and go on living!
There have been women in kidnapping bands,
The Washington times., 1932-03-14

women beyond belief, whom NO other woman
would trust her child to; women without the
imagination Of mercy. They should be dealt
exactly the same fate as the man. For they
make fearful mockery of the world around q
poor, little mother whose child is gOne-a terri
bic dole from woman to another. To wake
to a sudden wOrld-a hOuse-without the child
of your delight! The sunlight, the tree at the
window, a\ laugh, every single thing of beauty
that you with your child turned into pain.
How many mothers have known this terrible
question of "WHERE" ?-sOme of them never
knowing more than that question about the
vanished child-in this United States of ours
thanks to the greatest of all criminals-the
kidnaper. 1t is NO platitude, this old saying
that a mother is happy if her child is happy
knows no pain if her child is safe and WELL
And the mother of a stolen child know
of this-every moment is crucfixion of
her heart and mind that feel nothing of
certainty, only ignorance and unbearabe anxiety,
and the question, "Where?"
Her heart knows that her child wants its
mother, and she is as blind, who cannot
find the way!

THE LITTLE NEW HOUSE

THE LITTLE NEW HOUSE
I never see a little house,
So shining and so new,
But that I think Of hearts
untried
Where dreams go trooping
through.
For every small, new house
must wait
And wonder who will come
Along the walk and through
The door
To make of it a home.
And every little flowered room
Must we:r its gayeSt smile,
Though touched. perhaps, With
wiStful doubt
Just sometimes, for l while.
And every nook and hall must
be
So welcoming and brave.
It waits with such a hopeful air
The future, glad or grave.

So eager and so new.
But that I think of proud
young souls
Where dreams go marching
through.

It wasn't HAat she minded

wasn't the least bit personal
or unpleasant about it. He
Just took her in his arms when
she cried, as if it we're the
most natural and normal thing

1t was so humiliating to break
down this way.
She struggled unhappily to
hold back the tears, but they
squeezed through her fingers,
plopped onto the sofa, leaving
small, pear-shaped ctains.
''Now Just you wait a mo-
ment, and I'll bring you some
thing that will cheer you up,"
he promised, in the tone one
uses to offer lollypops to a
child.

After the second cor lial Lily

they drove across town to a
small place called The Oyster

"Not up to New Orleans, of

and then =; you are very good

Needed Food
But when they were eating
he said, "No, on second thought
you can't have any mousse.
I wish haI It fed you at al.
I want to try your voice when
we get back: should have
done it before we ate, but you
looked so pathetic I thought

Lily Louis heart gave a
bound. It was one THU to be
friendly with Dwight Gwin, and
even to have cordials and lunch
with him. But to havu him try
her voice! Dwight Gwin, to
whom big professionals came,

how some girls got ahead.
But what did all that mat

She began to boast a little,
to bolster up her courage. "I

Service Plates


I have always thought that
service plates were removed just
before the meat course, or the
entree. Recently I attended a
dinner where the hostess used
them for every course up to
the dessert course. Please tell
me which way is correct.
H. B. r.
You are right. 1T is Gus
tomary for the service plates
to be removed just before the
heated dinner plates or the
luncheon plates are put on the
table. Usually the waitress
brings in the dinner plate in
her left hand, and, as she
takes up the service plate with
her right hand. she places the
dinner plate in its place.

/. A widow usually wears her
wedding ring the rest Of her
life: or, if she is to marry
again, she ceases to wear it
when she decides to announce
her engagement.
You are wise. I think, to
modify your mourning since
YOU work in an office. This is
being very sensible.
Eating Waffles
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When one eats waffleS, should
the entire waffle be buttered,
when one begins to eat it, or
should one butter just section
at a time? It doesn't look very
well, I know, to butter all the
waffle at the beginning. but, on
the other hand, it cools so
quickly that later the butter
won't melt. c. B.
A good question. and one
that is a problem to the waffle
enthusiasts, who are legion!
You are right that the butter
won't melt easily If we don't
butter the whole waffle at first,
and so we should spread the
butter on the entire waffle to
get the full enjoyment Of It.
