Tenaces And FOurchettes

TenaceS AND EOurcneCCeS
WHEN WHIST was the court
game in France, among other
terms added were "tenace" and
"fourchette." The former des-
ignated a particular holding Of
honors. The latter designated
a situation arising in play Of
the cards.
A tenace is holding of hon.
orS with a gap or gaps be-
tween them. A fourchette re-
fers to a situation in play when
the one led through, holds the
next higher card to the one
led, and also the card just be-
low the one led, like the tines
of a fork. The A-Q-10 forms a
double major tenace; the A-Q
combination is the major ten
ace. Less perfect combinations
of honors, as Al, A-10, or K-10,
are imperfect tenaces.
Much of the strategy Of the
game centers in expert play Of
tenaceS. Even proper play Of
fourchettes is important. If
you hold the 81, when the 8
is led through you, covering
the 8 with your 9 at once
raises the Z to the value of the
9 that you played, and may
save your partner from having
to play a high honor. Suppose
the holdings of a certain suit
are as follows:
Dummy
go
Senior Junior
A @ 10 9 4 81 5
Declarer
KJ3
Senior has to make the open
ing lead, he hopes to derive ben
eft from his powerful double
major tenace. OF course the de-
clarer also hopes to derive ben
eft from his minor tenace.
Against a trump make senior
cannot afford to lead from his
tenace suit. If he leads that
suit he will win only one trick
in it, as the declarer will win
the second trick while dummy
will ruff the third trick. Against
no trump senior must lead his
tenace suit, giving the declarer
a trick in that suit, but expect
ing ultimately to win four tricks
therein. AS the 9 is never led
as a fourth-best card, the open
ing lead against no trumps must
be the 10, the top of the inte-
rior sequence of 10-9.
A strong tenace in dummy af-
fords joy to the declarer. Sup
pose dummy holds the A-Q-J-3
and the declarer has the 10,
with certain reentry in dummy.
Leading the 10 must produce
three tricks in the suit, even if
Junior holds the missing K. In
case senior has the K it is pos
sible that four tricks may be
garnered.
Il favorite suit through which
to lead is a weak tenace in
dummy, hoping that partner
may hold the 40 over the XII,
or that partner may have the
XII back of dummy's 40. A
suit headed by a single honor
is also a good one through
which to. lead. If the player
sitting back of dummy wins q
trick because he has been led
to, he leads back to a very weak
suit held by dummy, or even
to an Ace guarded only by very
small cards. Be particularly
careful not to lead through S
very strong suit in dummy, as
A-Q-J-10, or you may establish
the balance of that suit against
your side, even if your partner
holds the missing honor.

You know, if you happen to be fifteen or sixteen years old, nothing is more thrilling then to be able to have "the gang" in for a party.
 Half the fun of a party is in planning it. so why not let your offspring do most of that part of it themselves. Sometimes we grown ups fail to under stand just what constitutes "a swell time" for the crowd. In addition to that. 1t will teach them better, the elements as- sential for successful social enter tainment in the home.

 for your table decorations. If you
 happen to have a green linen cloth, now is the time for 1t. An
 enchanting contrast may be made
 by using crystal bowl, on this
 same green cloth, with lilies of the
 valley in 1t. Green candles in crystal candIesticks will also be
 lovely with this. Or, if you use a snowy white cloth, your table will
 be just as effective if you use the
 same flowers and then decorate with shamrocks and white clay pipes.
 Let them begin with a cream soup and, for this one time, end with a demitasse. As I reminded you before, there is no school the
 next day, and they probably will
 be up later than usual. If there is
 a girl in your family you might try letting her serve the demitasse in the living room. This will give her tremendous kick as she will
 feel so really grown up. Have your
 coffee delicious and piping hot, or
 course. Remember to use two table spoons of coffee to one cup or water in making demi-tasse coffee

Hints for Homemakers
 By JANE ROGERS

A good general rule to follow in seasoning green vegetables Is to use dash of sugar to a pinch of salt. Without artificially sweeten- ing the dish, the sugar restores the garden sweetness which so many vegetables begin to loseon their way to. the kitchen.
 Use needles to pin down the pleats when pressing pleated skirt. The needles will leave no marks when you remove them.
 A few juniped berries, obtain able at the drug store, placed in a frying pan that has been heated until very hot, will release aro- matic fumes which will quickly drive the odor of cooking out of the house.

WORLD PACT NEARS

International Commission Ex-

various countries to study after seven
hours of steady work Monday before
attacking questions of policy. Yet It

finish its task tonight.
Russian Issue Unsettled.
Later members of the wheat export
ers group were expected to meet and
take up issues raised by Russia's in
sistence on double the $4,000, 600
bushels allotment offered.
This was the quota set by the big
four representatives-the United States,
Australia. Canada and Argentina.
Although reiterating Russia's desire

sentative, asserted, we actually are
keeping within the quota offered US,
because prices are so poor"

then considered, but no action was
taken to remove them from the Com
merce Department. Secretary Roper
was q member Of that committee along
with Budget Director Douglas and for
mer Representative Swager Shirley.
Secretary Roper was represented as
regarding the Lighthouse Service and
the Coast and Geodetic Survey as ad-
juncts of commercial shipping and no:
as units for defense. At present the
two services are being operated in close
cooperation with the Shipping Board,
also branch of the Department Of
Commerce.
1t was pointed out that for the past
six or seven years the Navy has made
overtufes to obtain supervision Of the
Lighthouse Service. Navy men argue
that the Lighthouse Service becomes
primarily part Of the national defense
in case Of war. The Commerce Depart
ment's argument Is that the Lighthouse
Service along with the Coastal Survey.
Is part Of the peace-time operations of
commerce. and that in case of war can
very easily be operated in close harmony
with all other branches Of national de-
fense.
The proposed plan, reported under
consideration by the President, would
transfer also the Coast Guard to the
Navy. Under that plan the Coast Guard
and Lighthouse Service would probably
be operated as a bureau of the Navy
Department. The Coast and Geodetic
