explained that Natalie had wanted Jimmy, and he hadn't had money. Just youth and ambition and devo- tion.
 "She couldn't resist the golden lure" Jimmy added.
 All of a sudden Grace under- stood what he was trying to do. He was trying to make her under stand that it wasn't another man for whom Natalie had fallen, but another mans money. His pride couldn't quite stand the shock of having his desirab bility rated lower than that of another man, though the other man was older. He didn't want Natalie - but it hurt his pride to be discarded.
 "Oh-oh!" Grace said the word outloud. Jimmy glanced at her, startled.
 She had remembered something else. Now the jig-saw pieces of her puzzle were fitting in together again. Jimmy wasn't being shod- dy. She knew why this was hurt ing him.

The success of the constructive one-over-one system of contract bidding is due to the ease and sim plicity of arriving at the correct contract. It is true that jump forcing bids are made in the con- structive one-over-one system of bidding only when the forcing bid der holds a commanding hand.
 Therefore, the questions fre- quently asked by players who have just taken up the one-over- one are: how do you bid for game? When do you know that your part ner will not pass your response? :? How do you stop before arriving at game if there is no game in the hand?
 I will answer these by stating first-that the foundation of the one-over-one system of bidding is based on its constructive bid. When you open the bidding origi- nally, you are making a construc- tive. bid.
 Why? Because you could have passed. Now as long as you do not elect to pass, your bid must be constructive. In other words, you state to partner, especially when bidding nrSt or second nanu, that you have the foundation on which to build for game or contract.
 The fact that you open with a one bid clearly states that you do not think it is possible for you to go to game without some assist ance from partner. Otherwise. if you could go game regardless of what your partner held, your proper opening declaration would be either a forcing two or three bid.
 Now let us assume that part >ner opens with a bio. of one heart. If your hand Is worthless. natur- ally you will pass, as this Is the first Of the sign-off bids.
 However, due to the fact that partner never opens with any thing but c one bid unless he has an absolute game in his own hand, you must not pass unless you know that your hand is absolutely worthless to your partner.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@!osz sY NEA 5ER2!aE iNe:.

Will your hands be as smooth as the petals off the flowers in
 your corsage Easter morning
 They should be.
 There are more things than dish-water to make hands red and
 rough. Dusting furniture and
 washing windows on a cold day play havoc with your hands. You should wear rubber gloves whein you do housework. The office
 worker knows that dusty files and carbon paper are the worst bug bears of her hands. And she can't
 wear rubber gloves. Sportswomen
 wear gloves most of the time and | consequently nine out of ten of them have lovely smooth, white
 hands. They know that the incon- venience of gloves for sports is un- | important compared to the utter ugliness and gracefulness of badly groomed hands on a woman m
 an evening dress.
 If winter wind and steam heat has dried out the natural oil in the skin on your hands you should be- gin at once to put some of it back | Warm olive oil can be thoroughly
 massaged into your hands at night. Wear pair of clean, old
 cotton gloves all night. Be sure | they ahe very loose to permit plenty of circulatoin. Thy this in- | expensive home treatment every
 night from now until Easter and | be amazed at the results.
 A hand lotion is indispensable
 in your cosmetic drawer. Use Il
 after you wash and dry your
 hand. And use it every time. If the cuticle is rough and dry don't cut the rough edges. Use
 cuticle remover each time you
 manicure your nails and soak tho
 cuticle in olive oil every night
 Pish it back with the towel after
 each washing until the little hall
 moons show to your own satisfac- ton.

JIMMY LEARNS NATALIE HA WED THE ELDERLY
 MIR KICKER

A man at a table near the one where Grace and Jimmy were sit ting raised a newspaper which he was reading. Jimmy, who was fac- ing the paper, glanced at 1t idly. Grace saw that his eyes were far away. Then suddenly they came back, focused on the paper, caught a name.
 "Whew. Old man Becker is stepping to the altar again." he said. q wonder who the woman is."
 "If he knew that it Is Natalie Webber, would he carer" Grace ask ed herself. "He eouldn't-or he wouldn't have spent all these weeks trying to win me back"
 She decided that she would tell him. Then. she decided that she wouldn't. She could pretend that she didn't know about it. That would be a better plan.
 But she kept still. The waiter changed the plates. Put fresh ice cubes in the glasses. Brought more rolls.
 She heard Jimmy asking the waiter to get him a paper.
 "That reminded me that I want to see something," he explained. Grace wondered, remotely, vague ly, if he had an idea that Mrs Webber had married the Becker millions. Otherwise, she unused. why would he be so eager to see a paper.
 q bought some stock the other day. I want to see what it's do- ing," he said, and proceeded to explain it to her. When the paper came, he turned to the financial page and scanned the column of stocks.
 Good, four and one-half points" he said. He would have pushed the paper aside. But Grace had decided that she must be sure that Jimmy knew about Natalie Webber.
 She tried to make her voice careless.
 "Whom did MT Becker marry?" she asked.
 "Oh. forgot about the old boys romance" Jimmy answered. His eyes laughed into hers for a sec ond. The old, gay boyishness was there, almost as though he had forgotten his stern indifference of a few minutes before. Then the gaiety was gone and he was mere- ly very polite, very attentive as he turned to the story which she was seeking.
 You read it." Grace answered. lightly as she could. "All I want to know is the lady's name"
 "Good Lord!" The words slip ped from Jimmy's lips. "He mar ried Natalie!"
 Grace wanted to reverse his words. She wanted to say. "Oh. no. Jimmy. you mean Natalie's mar ried him!"
 But she didn't. She sat there. very quiet. merely listening.
 "I didn't know he knew her." Jimmy went on. "Oh. he knew who she was. of course. but to know her we'll enough to marry her. Well, she played some good cards alr right; that's all I can say. She wanted money. Now she'll have it,"
 But she has money" Grace re- minded him. Her eyes told more than she wanted them to. They

Let us assume that you hold an equal of two queens-or a king and a queen. These may be just what your partner needs to enter your hand and take finesse in order to establish a suit. Or he may have a two-suit hand and the second suit that he will name will fit your hand better.
 You should make what IS termed in this system as a sign off' bid. In other words, bid one no-trump.
 This bid says to partner, My hand may contain nothing but a couple of queens-however, I am willing to give you a chance to name a second suit; but l have no further interest in the hand, I can see no way of going game unless you hold tremendous hand"
 By the way, this bidding of one no-trump in response to partners original suit bid of one, in addi- ton to showing a weak hand. also denies holding four trump.
 If you hold four of your part ner's suit, your proper sign-off is to bid two in his suit. For exam pie: partner bids one heart-you can sign off by bidding two hearts.
 This simply states to partner: "l have four of your trump. How ever, I cannot see any way of making game unless you hold quite a little additional reserve strength. As a matter of fact, it might be somewhat doubtful if you can even make the contract at two.'
 After a sign-off bid, partner pro- ceeds at his own peril and even though he makes another con- structive bid, you are not forced to respond unless he gives you jump shift forcing bid.
 For example: if partner bids one heart and you reply with one no trump, signing the hand off. the partner now bids three diamonds you would be forced to respond. To bid either one of these suits now would not be showing addi- tional strength but would be sim ply showing a preference.
 Summing up to-day's article. we find that all original bids are con structive. That the three sign off
