~ EXPERTS PLAY 1T 80

with q bid of one no trump. West
passes and North should take out
with two spades, which should be
passed by East.
South should bid two no trump
he should not Jump to three no
trump, AZ North may be taking out
with q very weak five-card suit and
no incard.
Remember that an original no
trump bid shows very fine hand.
Partner, however, always has . right
to take out with . weak five-card
suit. The bid Of two no trump shows
a desire to go on with the hand II
partner holds anything.
Now. as North holds a five-card
suit and q side ace, he should re-
spond with three spades. South
would then 60 to three no trump.
The Play
Vests proper opening lead is the
ten OF hearts, which Is q favorable
break for the declarer, as it Is right
into his tenace holding: but even
though a lead like this may work out
to a disadvantage at times. your best
blind attack against q no trump con-
tract is to open your longest ana
strongest suit, especially II you have
a possible incard, which West has
with q queen Of diamonds.
The declarer, winning with the
heart jack, would Immediately lead
his jack OF spades. East should re-
fuse to win the first trick. Declarer
will continue with a small spade,
which East should win with the king.
East realizes. with Vests nine drop
ping, that the spade suit is going to
be set on the next round, but the
only incard the declarer has in
dummy is the ace Of diamonds, so
here is the opportunity for the very
fine defensive play.
East should Immediately return the
king of diamonds-even though it ap-
pears to sacrifice sure winner in his
hand, 1t is killing two tricks for the
declarer.
OF course the declarer may just
as well win the trick In the dummy
with the ace, because II he does not
Fast will continue with q small dia-
mond.
The spade suit must be abandoned
and q small club should be led from
the dummy, declarer finessing the
jack. His next play is the Jack Of
diamonds, which West wins with the
queen.
West returns q heart and the de-
clarer wins with the ace. The de-
clarer has lost two tricks. he is sure
20 lose two more-and possibly three.
However, he has an opportunity to
execute an end play. He must first
pull the possible exit card out Of
East's hand by leading the king Of
hearts, which takes East's seven.
The spade suit should now be led
by the declarer and East will win
with the ace. East Is now forced to
lead either z diamond through the
declarer's 1913 or q club through his
40. In either case the declarer is
bound to make the last three tricks,
and while East has made q very fine
defensive play with the king Of dia-
monds, the declarer, with the aid OF
an end play. has succeeded in making
MS contract of three no trump.

There IS no question but that the
opportunity to make an unusually
nice play is usually in favor Of the
declarer.
He knows the outstanding high
cards against him. He can give his
opponents an opportunity to make a
mistake, or, by carefully watching the
drop of the cards, he may be able to
execute any Of the numerous plays,
SqueezeS and so forth.
However, the real thrill and salts
faction of well-played hand comes
with q brilliant defensive play. To-

sive play, but even then, there Is an

his contract.

STYLE SAYS WHITE
COSTUME JEWELRY
BY cHERIE NICHOLAS

Never such a white" season as this.
Fashion especially spotlights white
pique accessories. It's white pique
for hats and scarfs, white pique for
belts and bags, shoes and gloves while
the new little white pique jackets are
quite the rage.
In tune for this feeling of fashion
for white a prominent designer of
American costume jewelry has created
most unique bracelets, earrings and
brooches which amusingly and smartly
resemble pique in both ribbed weaves
and waffle patternings A happy COM
bfnation this-white pique accessories
together with white costume jewelry,
and Is there anything more fiattering
than white?
By the way, speaking Of costume
jewelry reminds us Of the adorable
little crystal nosegays which this same
designer Is conjuring out of crystal
and beads and such. These sparkling
little fantasies are both in flower and
in berry form. One type has a re-
ceptacle for perfume. Latest thing
in way of boutonnierres to wear with
your smartest Of smart summer linen

leaped to the skies.
I did not see him for a week or
more. However, few days later, I
was engaged to do the heavy" oppo-
site Fanny Ward in Betty OF the

fits and had only the shabby clothes
I was wearing. I could not borrow,

they would have gotten the clothes!
But this was not the Ozarks. took
almost my last nickel and went down
town to a high class clothier. There
laid my cards on the table.
The manager gave me two outfits
from head to heel entirely on trust.
"I'll get the money" he assured me,
making me happy by his confidence.
We went to Pasadena on location at
seven in the morning. At ten the star
arrived As she was descending from
her motor, she caught sight Of me.
She summoned Reicher, there was
hurried and excited conversation and
she stepped back into the car and
drove Off We returned to the studio,
where it was explained that due to
change In the story, was not the
type needed. The disappointment was
terrible-there was my sick child, my
unpaid rent, and the ciothier who
trusted mel
I sought out Milton z Hoffman, the
producer, and begged him not to let
this incident kill my opportunities In
his studio. I explained the situation
and he paid me my weeks salary, one
hundred dollars. Within a few days
Hoffman gave me job with Mae MUIR
ray In "A Mormon Maid and this won
me a contract with Lasky for three
and a half years.
There are many ways Of getting
into the movies. There are also many
paths to stardom, cyclonic publicity,
famous name, and yes-sometimes
ability. But there Is only one way to
keep ones place on the ladder Of sue

cere performance at all times, and by
the guidance of that divine spark,
whatever 1t may be.
