Further Discussion Of Treatments.
TN MY rcent articles in this series
on the negative double I sug-
gested that you vary your policy
i when playing for any length OF
time against the same opponents.
This is not system" but strategy.
The system gives you the technique
of the double-the method by which
your partner, though completely in
the dark on the first round can learn
on the next round whether your
double was distributional or strategic.
However, if you do make an unusually
weak double of either kind, your part
ner cannot know that it was shaded
except perhaps by the firm tones of
the opponent, who now applies a
muscle double'). He only knows
whether you intend him to play the
hand or must yourself play it in your
long suit. You may say that l am
injecting a dangerous doctrine here
introducing too much vagueneSS into
defensive moves which are already
potentially dangerous just because they
are defensive. True. But strategy is
necessarily linked with a measure of
uncertainty, otherwise it would not be
strategy, but definite method, the in
evitable crushing of the weaker side
by an impregnably stronger one. You
will gain distinct defensive advantage
if the opponents learn that they can
not know everything about your
doubles merely by refraining from
action until they hear your next bid.
A variation of treatment here is in
itself strategy within a strategic
bid. Nevertheless, there is another
factor to consider-you- partner. Can
he stand it if shaded distributional
double goes wrong and you take too
heavy loss? Will he be SO upset that
he will thenceforth underbid in re-
sponse to everything you do, whether
constructively or in defense? Will he
assume that for some unknown reason
you are launched on an overbidding
jag. and by refusing to respond nor
mally will he actually force you to
overbid?
If you believe your partner to be
of this type, give more consideration
to his psychology than to that of the
opponents and keep him relaxed.
Forego brilliance in defensive moves;
give up the hope of attempting weak
doubles to keep your opponents from
bidding games or slams they can
probably make; keep it in your mind
that, in return for whatever possible
interference you may abandon at this

The Old Gardener Says:

The hard Winter resulted In
the destruction of many Christ
mas rose plants. This fact, how
ever, should not deter garden
makers from planting this lovely
Winter blooming subject, because
it usually goes through the cold
months without loss. The Christ
mas rose, Helleborous niger, as
the botanists call it. may flower
at any time between November
and April. depending upon the
location and the severity Of the
weather. Towering in Midwinter
is often brought about by plac-
ing boxes with glass tops over
the plants. The lovely. waxy-
white blooms are we'll worth max
ing the little extra effort neces-
sary to obtain them.

CHAPTER I

1t all began some 80 years
ago when a young Englishman
saw a maid, Mary Marriage, in
the upper hall of an old place
that is well known in England.
It was a spring day and per-
haps that had something to do
with it; and she had a fine
Iprettiness that he was to learn
was not echoed in her mind
or speech.
He kissed her and, because
he was young, he confused pas
sion and love; it is done often.
He kissed her again. 81 love
you," he said, "and | don't
care who knows itp
Then he looked up at the
old portraits on the walls of
the spacious hall and some
thing of tradition and set habit
that they implied made him
suggest a meeting that night
beyond the grounds. Mary,
poor child, was willing. He
was of the gentry and she of
the servant class. One said
Yes" and THANK you" to ones
betters. She stood plucking
