whether they admire more the
woman or girl who refrains from
smoking. And from the girls who do
smoke. I should like to hear wheth-
Ter they do it to be smart and be-
cause every one else does, or be-
cause they really like smoking. I'm
not stating at this time my idea on
the subject, but would like to hear
enough pro and con on the subject
to convince me I'm either right OF
wrong in my attitude.
INTERESTED.
Answer-I am happy to start
the discussion and hope for an
avalanche of replies from a great
variety of readers. Since you
haven't asked my opinion. but as
sumo that you know it, will lead
of with a little verse which I
printed once before in the column
about two years ago.
Tobacco is a dirty weed.
It SATISFIES no normal need.

Dear Jane Jordan-I am in my
late thirtieS. married to a man who

some man. If I am untidy he calls
me scummy.

Do YOU think it is right for me t
90 on and ruin my health by letting
him keep me nervous and upset al
the time? M1STRUSTED.
Answer-No. I see no reason
for people living together who
make each other miserable. Any
other partnership in the world
breaks up when the partners
cease to trust each other. With
no dependent children to suffer
from the loss of their father, I
wonder why you permit yourself
TO be the victim of your husbands
desire TO hurt. No doubt you are
at fault in some respects, too. but
I do not have his side of the story.

Manners and Morals
by JANE JORDAN

We made arrangements for date
and when the night came I re-
ceived a special delivery letter about
o'clock saying that he couldn't
come because his parents were rails
ing heck because he had lost a lot
of sleep working at the polls. 1
don't know whether he worked at
the polls or not. That's his story.
I wrote and told him that when
ever he got tired of having his
parents tell him what to do, We
might consider going together, pro-
viding he doesn't send special de-
liverieS about two hours before the
date. I told him our next date was
off. Was this the right thing to do?
Please advise me what to do or what
to say to him. I really care for him.
THE GIRL WHO WANTS THE
FELLOW SHE LOVES.
Answer-After all what the boy
said might be true. You would
have done better to give him The
benefit of the doubt the first time
and judged him by his future be-
havior. You were nasty because
he hurt your pride. Now you're
| in box and will have to wait for
him to make the next move. If
you're so sure he's liar, why do
you care for him?
A Mans Wife-Thank you for
your long and Illuminating letter.
I see your side of the case per-
fectly, but the help you need is be-
yond the capacity of this column,
which you youhself recognize.
Perfect Pair-I am glad to hear
from you again and congratulate
you both.
Iris EloiSe-I would help you if
I could. The one and only solu-
ton to your problem that see at
present is a persistent search for
economic independence. No one
can save you, but you can save
yourself. Don't give up the search
for job.
Still Disgusted-I am holding a
group of letters for you. If you
will send your address, I will for
ward them.

Go n t tract
Bridge
Solution to PreUiOuS
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY,
Secretary. American Bridge League

Secretary. American Bridge League
no YOU remember, when you
- first started to play bridge,
some one telling you Always re-
turn your partners suit? Well
the word always" has My one
place in bridge.
Always be conSiderate of your OPP
ponents. They may not be inter
ested in what you have to say to
your partner and, if you want to
play profitable bridge, always be
conSiderate of your partner.
Now, in regard to covering an
honor with an honor, it certainly
does not pay to cover an honor
with an honor unless you hold at
least three Of the suit and the in
termediate card must be at least
the nine spot.
In a recent duplicate match at
the Terrace Club, one of New
York's largest bridge clubs, one
player, believing it paid to cover
an honor with an honor, let the
declarer DO the seemingly impossi-
ble-make a grand slam with the
king, queen and a small trump
against him.
Of course North's one-over-one
might be just a Institutional bid
but when South bids three spades
he is demanding game, asking
his partner to bid either three no
trump or four spades.
Any other bid is construed as
highly constructive, even to the
point of its being a mild slam try;
therefore North's bid of four dia-
monds was treated as slam invi-
tation by South.
II AST'S opening lead of the queen
IL of clubs was won in the dunn
my with the ace. A small diamond
was led and won with the ace.
Declarer now laid down the jack
of spades. Immediately East should
be warned that the declarer does
not hold the king Of spades and, if
he does not, there is no point in
covering the jack with the queen.
The only reason you cover an
honor with an honor is because you
are trying to establish the nine or
ten spot for yourself or your part
ner.
Now if you will analyze the bid
ding you will realize that North, in
all probability, has six trumps,
there are four in the dummy and
your partner no doubt has a single
ton.
Suppose it's the singleton king
Your covering the jack with the
queen will establish all the trump
tricks for the declarer.
This play gave the declarer a
grand slam. Out of thirteen tables,
twelve pairs were successful in ar
irving at the slam contract. Eleven
pairs refused to cover the Jack with
the queen and so held the declarer
to six odd.
