TRAVEL BUREAU
WILL ARRANGE
FOREIGN TOURS
Union Trust Company Has
Variety of JauntS for
Winter Tourists.

You don't need to consult the
weather bureau to know that cold
winds and snow will be in the ar
before the winter months have
slipped away, and a good plan to
escape their rigors is to arrange a
vacation trip with the travel bu-
reau of the Union Trust, located
at 12O East Market street.
Short tours to the Caribbean now
can be booked for an amazingly
reasonable amount Of money, &C
cording to Richard A. Kurtz, man
ager of Indianapolis leading travel
department at the trust company.
The traveller interested in COM
bining a refreshing vacation with
an escape from the cold weather,
and whose time is not limited, GER
tainly would be wise in making a
cruise to the West Indies. There
he would find quaint, interesting
tradition and customs, along with
the delightful climate.
The travel bureau has for twelve
years been offering valuable assist
ance to tourists. Representing every
steamship line, the company can
plan a cruise to any part of the
world, making complete arrange
ments and determining the exact
cost beforehand.
Arrangements for hotel accommo-
dations, railroad connections, and
sight seeing trips are all part of
the service offered by the bureau.
No longer does the traveller need to
worry about what will happen when
he or his family arrive in a foreign
country.
So complete are the established
connections to all parts of the world,
along with knowledge of foreign
cost for services, that the company
can estimate just how much a va
cation will cost. And the low cost
for travelling in 1888 is surprising.
If you are planning a trip to
Europe, Asia, South America or
anywhere else and are in doubt as
to details about reservations, write
or call the travel bureau of the
Union Trust Company for informa-
ton and ask for sailing lists for the
coming year, now available.

South and West passed North
opened with one no trump. While
it is not a particularly favorable no
trump hand, the bio may be used
to indicate to partner a strong
hand.
East passed, as he was quite con-
tent to open diamonds against a
no trump contract, because it looked
as though his king of spades was
an in card.
South bid three hearts-a forcing
response to show partner that there
is an absolute game in the hand
North responded with four no
trump.
Here we find jump response
When the original bid is a no trump
forcing response is given, and
then jump response in no trump
is made as described in this bidding
it can mean only one thing-that
the four no trump bidders hand has
control Of three suits, and as he
is bidding no trump, it must mean
that he has three aces.
In other words, the original bid
der may not invite slam without
having control of three suits.
South bid five hearts, North bic
six no trump.
This bid of six no trump gave
South very good picture of the
original bidders hand. Undoubt-
edly his suit was spades, and he in
all probability has a f1ve-card spade
suit, due to the fact that South
holds only singleton.
His original bid of no trump, and
now his rebuilding the no trump
indicate heart support. Why hasn't
he shown his spade suit or support
ed hearts at any time? Because he
holds $50 aces.
While South might be considered
bold in bidding seven hearts, he has
q perfect right to read the hand as
described above.
The Play
Seven hearts is not hard to make
as the declarer can establish the
fifth spade in dummy on which tt
discard the losing diamonds, and he
has plenty of in cards.
After the hand had been played
North remarked that it was lucky
that he had not gone to seven ne
trump, as East, with his king Of
spades and king of diamonds, woulc
have defeated the contract.
However, it is interesting to note
that even a grand slam at no trump
can be made.
East will open the king of dia.
mOnds which North, the declarer
must win with the ace.
Now let the declarer start the
heart suit. At the end, North mus
hold the ace and jack of spades anc
the ace and six of clubs. DUNN!
will have the ten of spades, the
eight of diamonds and the king anc
eight of clubs.
East, which is the hand that vii
be squeezed, will hold the queen anc
jack of diamonds and the king anc
nine Of spades.
Declarer will lead the small clut
from dummy, winning in his owr
hand with the ace, forcing East tC
discard the jack of diamonds.
The small club then will be led BY
declarer and East will be squeezed
He will be forced to discard either
the queen of diamonds or the nine
of Spades-in either case the de-
clarer will win the remaining tricks

age, who lives about a mile from
Fred G. Smith, stopped at MI.

Smith 70 collect a five dollar milk
bill. Mr.. Smith paid her with AS
five dollar bill, knowing that he
would be in town during the day
and would cash a check to pay back
A. AS socn as Mrs. B arrived home
a Mr.. C came to collect five dollars
that she owed him. Mrs. B paid Mr..
C and Mr.. C went to Mr.. Smiths to
nay him five dollars that he owed
him. Thus Mr.. Smith then had the
five dollars to pay back to A and he
had paid his milk bN in the bar
gain. Fifteen dollars in bills had
been paid with one five dollar bill
within an hour and the five dollar
bill was returned. to the owner that
evening.

SILVER TEA A SUCCESS

In spite of the storm, the Silver
Tea given by the Guild of Christ
Church in the Parish House on We'd
nesday of last week, was a success.
The decorations, of jasmine and ivy,
were charming; and embowered
among, the silver and china, and
the heaping dishes of pastry, made
a pleasing picture in the candle
light.
Mrs. Frank W. Davis sang, ac-
companied on the piano by Mrs.
Elizabeth Riggs.
Mrs. Davis has the distinction of
having been chosen by Walter DAM
rosch to take part in the chorus of
"Iphigenia at Aulis" when it was
produced in New York for the New
York Oratoria Society,"" of which his
father was the founder.
She has also sung over Station
WIZ.
On Wednesday she entertained the
ladies of the Parish with the fol-
lowing selections: who Is Sylvia? :?
"Du bist dis cine Blume," "Longong, !"
and 81 Passed by Your Window"
To hear Mrs. Davis sing is well
worth a storm, and about 40 people
were present.
