A NIGHT IN THE OLD HOME

| heard, in the old home in the night
The songs we sang of yore;
saw in the moons silvery light
Beloved ones | see no more;
lived again those halycon days
OF summers when field and wood
Were kissed by glowing amber haze
OF all that is sweet and good.
Together, my gir1hood friends and l
Roamed paths we loved so we'll
That hours were like moments speed
ing by
On wings of entertainments spell.
The laughter, the melody, the dance,
The charm of loves star-lit dream,
Returned in the wake of nights ad-
vance,
A-rippling down mem'ry's stream.
We walked once more by the purling
rill
That winds through Dudley's glen;
We climbed the big rock upon Boon's
hill,
"Ramblers' Rock" we called it then;
We found again wood-violets blue,
Twined wreaths of dainty wild-rose;
We plucked the fragrant-breathed IL
laos too,
And branches of apple-blows.

trick with the ace. East immediate ly returned small heart. Mrs Scranton's problem was whether to take the heart finesse. She felt that West had four clubs when he opened with the deuce; therefore, East must have the singleton ace
 If she tok heart finesse and it failed, a club would be returned and ruffed and her contract would be defeated. Then the heart finesse having failed, she probably would have taken the spade finesse to pick up the queen, and that also would have lost.
 Mrs Scranton knew that she had no club loser and decided that she would not risk losing more than one heart and one spade, so she went right up with the ace of hearts and then led mall spade, winning in dummy with the king. A spade was returned and again she refused to take the finesse, go- ing right up with the ace of spades which dropped Vests queen.
 Now the jack of trump was led. which picked up East's last trump. The king of clubs was cashed. East showed out, so Mrs Scranton went right through Vests jack. and now all she had to lose was the queen of hearts.

Just because you have an ace queen mbination, you need not necessarily take a finesse. Contract is a game of tricks. If you bid for four odd. your first task is to make four odd.
 If you have two illnesses in the hand, as that great contract player. P. Hal Sims, has aften said, "Plan the play of the hand so that, if you take on finesse, it will eliminate the other."
 In today's hand, however, if you take one finesse, you are almot forced to take the other-and as result you will not make your con- tract. But if you do not take either finesse, you will make five odd. The hand was played by Mrs Helene Scranton of New York in the re- cent All-American championship tournament of the American Whist League in Chicago.
 The Bidding
 While North has three spades to the king, he has a better no trump response than that of two spades. Since four-card suits play an inn portant part in bidding at contract, it does not generally pay to sup port your partners suit with only thre trumps. even though they are three to the king, on the first round, if you can find a better dec iaration. However, when Mrs Scranton in the South goes to two spades, North takes the strain off the hand by going to four.
 The Play
 Against Mrs Scranton's four spade contract, West opened the deuce of clubs and East won the
