Conqueringg Contract

liRht chances to bid again and thereby
protect the regularity Of his opening
bids. Freed from temptations OF this
kind, the opener will not overbid his
hand.
II Opener i Strong.
II his hand is 30 strong that he
foreSees q play for game now that
he knows that the trump suit Is thor
oughly under control and that he can
get In dummy, he can force you on
the second round Of bidding. and SO
arrive at the most desirable game con-
tract, or possibly Jump to game imme-
diately himself.
II Opener Has q Good Hand But Needs
Further Information.
If unable to decide for game by
virtue of the knowledge conveyed by
your minimum raise, opener can ex-
tend the installment principle to you,
Offering you another chance to bid in
case you have more than the absolute
minimum promised on your first re-
sponse. Short Of q force, two no
trumps is the strongest rebid at his
command for this purpose. Bidding
a second suit Is also a very strong
invitation to you to do something other
than sign of (by reverting to the orig
inal suit in minimum terms). Invita-
your hand may be well short of what
you would need to bid three in my
suit or two no trumps for your first re-
sponse. but it may nevertheless give
me a play for game. Please don't sign
of unless you only had Just about
enough to keep the bidding open for
me-"
If Openers Hand Is . Minimum.
In that case, opener passes: he has
decided that game is extremely un-
no trumpS or three in suit. On this
occasion he did not need a second
opportunity to bid because the first in
stallment had told the whole tale Nev-
ertheless. no harm has been done Even
if responder also has a minimum hand
for his bid, the contract has not gone
beyond two instead of one. If this can
be set, probably the opponents could
have made plus score had they en-
tered the bidding You have arrived
at a contract one higher than you would
by passing; this may be beaten, but will
not be doubled once in so times because
every one knows that your trump suit
fits. Only if the opening bid was made
thlrd or 1ourth nand is there posi-
bility of an unwelcome double If de-
feated in two doubled, you will find that
you have saved a game which either
could actually have been made, or
should have been bid against you with
every reasonable expectation of making
it. Such hands are beaten only by
massed trumps plus the high cards
which your own bidding has mutually
denied. Consequently one opponent
must have singleton or void of your
suit, and game should generally be easy
for them in their best suit or even in
no trumps if they are able to take six
tricks against you when you play the
hand in your own approved trump suit.

Nancy's Buffet Meals Bor-
row Customs from Sweden
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Swedish smorgasbord adapts itself
beautifully to the buffet meals which
are so popular nowadays. On serv-
ing table Nancy found an array Of "a
relisheS, horS d'oeuvreS or salad foods.
After helping herself to as many as
she wanted. or her plate would hold.
she went back to her table, ate these
and then was ready for the meal itself,
of meat, vegetables. salad and dessert.
On one Of her trips Nancy listed these
foods-small meat. balls, picked her
ring, stuffed trout, spiced beats. cole
slaw, baked ham, pressed meat loaf,
prawns, tuna fish salad, tomato aspic,
cucumber and pineapple salad in gela-
ions, stuffed celery, India relish, cottage
cheese, prunes stuffed with cream
cheese, potato salad, fruit salad
There was crisp, thin Swedish bread
placed on a large serving plate. Be-
side it was a plate with a large cube
of butter On the plate were ranged
four or five butter knives They ra-
dated from the butter cube
The guests took the bread which they
might want, spread 1t while standing
at the table, and then took the piece
of bread. already spread, back to their
own tables.
When Nancy planned to have q
Swedish buffet meal she chose about
eight relishes or dishes for display on
the buffet table.
She omitted the meat and vegetable
course, because there were meat balls
baked ham and jellied meats on the
buffet table.
She always had plenty Of coffee.

apt to be well chilled fruit soups.

My Point of View Differs.
I have never been able to visualize
my hands possibilities or its role, in
the bidding by attempting to judge or
estimate it in this manner. We are
now considering only weak hands from
which nothing more than a minimum
raise can be expected The questions
center on what are the weakest hands
on which to raise to two instead OF
passing or bidding a no trump. In
conformity with the point Of view
which suggest in most other bidding
situations, it seems to me that the
problem is not so much What will my
hand be able to deliver in case my
partner becomes declarer in his suit?"
as What action can I take at this
moment to enable my partner to han
die his next bid rightly?"
The Installment Principle.
The opportunity to bid again Is
needed by the opening bidder when
the responder can assure him that
there is no misfit in the trump suit,
and that he will presumably get in
dummy at least once and probably
twice in order to take a fnesse to
his own hand or make some impor-
tant play By keeping the bidding
open with no more than this to offer,
you safeguard the installment prin-
ciple for the opening bidder. He is
relieved of all excuse or temptation to
make shaded original bids of two no
trumps or to make unsound forcing

suit when he knows that you give him

Everyday Psychology

Senescence.

Psychology Is q life-science. As such
II has been customary for psychologists
to stake off different periods and to
study life from the viewpoint OF its
parts And so we have come to have
child psychology (0-1D. adolescent
psychology U4-2D, adult psychology
(21-60?), old age (senescence) psy-
chology eco? y.
II these divisions could actually be
made the study of life might easily be
reduced to science.
When does a person grow out OF his
or her childhood? When does one pass
from one period to another? When is
senescence reached? The number OF
years one has lived seems to be an
unreliable index. Nor can you depend
upon interests Some aged persons
seem to be interested In everything. All
Of which means that they carry the
activities Of childhood with them all
through the years.
There should be some one trait which
distinguishes youth from senescence. I
believe there is one. And I believe
it is this: You are passing into
senescence the moment you begin to
have fixed ideas. This may. and some
times does, happen as early as the
thirtieth year.
There is nothing permanent but
change. When you get to the point
where change ceases to make an I'M
preston you have passed into SEN
escence-a state Of mind from which
there is no escape.

often wonder why Wilson has be-
come 50 little of popular hero, when
even school children are taught to re-
we're the name of Audubon. The latter's
life was far more romantic, his person.
ality flamboyant, his nature rich IN
puckish humor, and concerning birds
he could be quite sentimental. But
Wilson was far and away the better
scientist.
He discovered 10 times as many new
birds as Audubon, and was infinitely
more careful in his descriptions. He
never. like Audubon, relayed tall tales
that Indians and frontiersmen told him,
and in every way he was more reliable
as a reporter. He was also much more
Of pioneer.
The success Audubon had in getting
subscriptions for his big, expensive vol
umes on birds was due partly TO- the
fact that Wilson had already aroused
scientific interest among Americans, in
time when most folk cared nothing
about birds except to serve them up on
the table.
Wilson's greatest drawback was that
he did not have lively pen, like Audu-
bon, or beautiful style, like Nuttall.
He was proud, irritable, contankerous, q
trial to friends like Ord and Lucien
Bonaparte and Bartram On the one
occasion when Audubon and Wilson
met they at once fell out.
Back in Scotland, Wilson had thought
himself greater poet than Burns and
tried to quarrel with Bobbie As q
schoolmaster, set over Pennsylvania
Dutch children, he was pedantic, and,
forgetting his own boyhood humilia-
tions, a switching disciplinarian. But
as bird lover he was peerless. an in
veterate collector, a pioneering ex-
plorer.
So far as I know, he was the first
ornithologist to do thorough job in
the Southern States, and whenever I
hear the veery, called Wilson's thrush,

AMMY JAY has at times WON a
bad name among his neighbors
He does do things that those who
~ like him wish he wouldn't do. He
Is suspected and accused Of doing
things which he doesn't do. On the
other hand, he Is seldom given credit
for the good things that he does. There
are many people in this world just like
him. You hear Of the bad things they
do, but do not hear Of the good things.
Sammy has noisy tongue. but no one
knows better than he how to keep a
tongue still. When he is engaged in
certain kinds Of mischief you never hear
him. You wouldn't know that he has a
tongue But at other times he often is
the noisiest Of the feathered folk. You
see he is neither wholly bad nor is he
wholly good.
But there Is one thing you can count
on and this is that when Sammy sees
Q common enemy he won't keep it to
himself. He'll warn his neighbors. He'll
give the alarm and he'll keep it up until
every one within hearing knows what is
going on.
Nanny Meadow Mouse poked her head
out Of her home very cautiously. Mrs
Peter Rabbit was sitting just outside
Has he gomez" asked Nanny in small
voice
If you mean Mr.. Blacksnake, he
isn't around here" replied Mrs. Peter
He was" replied Nanny. He gave
me dreadful fright. He passed close to
my doorway"
Mrs. Peter pricked up her ears. Il
knew he was in the Briar-patch, but I
didn't know he was over here" said she
Il saw him over on the other side. He
looked into that house you didn't finish
over there"
Nanny shivered. II felt it in my
bones that he would come back there"
said she. "Oh, dear, l suppose he is
still somewhere in the Old Briar-patch.
I won't know a moments peace until
I know that he has left, and however
am to know that?"
1t was just then that Sammy Jay be-
gan to scream at the upper end of the
Briar patch. He was screaming Snake!
Snake Snake!" at the top of his lungs.
Almost at once all the feathered folk
within hearing distance were hurrying
to join him. AS fast as they arrived
they added their voices to the scream
ing.
Well" said Mrs. Peter, I'VE know
now where he is. And We will continue
to know where he is for some time or I
don't know Sammy Jay. Mr. Black
snake will have hard work to hide
where Sammy jays sharp eyes will not
find him. Just listen to that racket.
They'll spoil his hunting for him, and
I don't believe he'll stay long now"

Vacation Is a time when wholesome

he is eager to return to the class room.
