publications which need some bidding

different in these respects:
% 1t is essential to tell the opener
Immediately that he need not slow up
because of his weakness in the trump
suit The three no trump response
promises at least one high card in the
openers suit, but does not in any way
promise to solidify sketchy suit. That
is to say opener might have to pass
a three no trump response for fear OF
letting you down through the weakness
of his suit, not knowing that you had
the missing honors in it. All the time
there might be six or seven odd. When
you have the trump honoTs that your
partner ought to have in order to de-
sire a slam, tell him so at once, and
leave him free to bid his outside values.
~ Generally also your hand con-
tains some holdings which eliminate
losers in suit play but may block a suit
for no trump play. Ace-king alone, for
instance, or A K @ or K @ j, with no
small card to accompany them.
80 The exact location of aces can
be handled so precisely when you can
raise to five that grand slam can be
more safely nailed. So if it Is close

A Response Which Is a Definite
Grand Slam Try.
TINE immediate raise to five in the
suit whether major or minor
in which your partner has
opened the bidding is a grand
slam try In an earlier article,
written before the new scoring became
effective, I advised this bid when you
can see only one losing trick provided
opener is able to confirm his opening
bid. while if he has q clear primary
trick in reserve, there should be grand
slam in the hand. That is to say, the
raise to five was in the first place di-
rected at small slam, and only sec
ondarily at the grand slam. l now wish
to place this response on a slightly more
definite basis by making it necessarily
include
Possession of Two Aces
in addition to the other features you
know of. The bid is still leeWay
bid; the raise to five means that you
are certain of six if the opener can no
more than confirm his opening bid, by
which l mean that he has not shaded
1t below two and a half primary tricks.
In addition, of course, the Responder
must have at least as good trump sup
port as for the triple ralse-four headed
by two Of the top four honors, or f1ve
headed by the king or the ace. AS 10
the primary values the responding mana
needs for this quadruple raise, do not
wish you to use primary tricks as a
yardstick; but you will find that with,
out four primary tricks, your nano VIII
not enable you to narrow the possible
losers down to one only, assuming your
partner has opened with two and half
primary tricks and no more. Ihese
HANDS are too powerful to pass In any
position. A responding hand such as
Sp. @ Di. A K
Hts. x xx CT. A Jxx
would Justify the raise to five hearts
over an opening one heart bid. Reason
this way: My partner can hold no prl-
mary value in diamonds; in hearts, at
most one and half. If he has only
two and half, he must hold either the
ace of spades or king queen OF clubs.
Any hand he can hold which contains
two and a half primary tricks means
that we have a spread for six odd. If
he has two aces and also the king OF
clubs, we must bid for the grand slam;
at worst it will depend on club fnesse;
or. II he lacks the queen of hearts, on a
finesse or drop to catch that card.
why Not Three No Trumps?
Hands justifying the raise to five
hear an outward similarity to those
with which the three no trump slam

Openers Rebidding.

Realizing that you have in a way bid
the full value of your hand when rails
ing to five, opener should Immediately
take the strain" of you by bidding
seven when able to do so. That is
having the other two aces and a sound
bid. Sound bid? I mean, of course
either king above the two and halt
primary values which, you tell him
make a small slam safe; or else sure
discard facilities in view of your pos
session of the other two aces. For in
stance. if you bid spade on
Sp. AJxxx Di KoJxx
Hts. A CT. X
and your partner raises to five, bid
seven spades. Don't mention the dia-
monds-if the opponent on lead has five
of them, he will lead them in hope OF
a first round ruff, which is about the
only way in which the grand slam could
be beaten. With only one ace, opener
bids six merely confirming that his
opening bid was not shaded below two
and a half primary tricks. If responder
has three aces, he can then bid the
grand slam. With no ace the opener
cannot rebid at all. With four aces
responder will bid differently-probably
three, four or six-no trumps at once.

dragging his old steamer trunk
with him, whistling by the

pocket.
"Yeah?" he asked, waiting
for her to go on.
That's where I've been for

with Wallace. Trying to ex-

Susan. John, do you remem-

think I was so very crazy about
him?-You were right. 1
thought I liked Wallace a lot,
but now that I know Allen
Sholes-" She threw out both
her hands in a little helpless
movement as if she were trying
to show him just how hopeless
her case was. I'm wild about
him, john"
Does he know it?"

Susan. I'm not going to live
in a house that I won't like,
with a man that I don't like
that I don't love, Wallace. I
do like you."
The waiter came up for the
rest of the lunch order and Wal
lace pushed the menu aside as
soon as the man laid it before
him. Bring anything. The dol

patiently. BY that small sign
Susan knew just how disturbed
he was, for wallace always gave
a great deal of time and care to
the ordering Of his meals.
Nov, then, you like me but
you don't love me. You love
somebody else. Is tl.at it?" he
asked when the waiter had left
them.
That's it," said Susan.
"But that's not all of it. I've
bought a house for you," Wal
lace reminded her, land your
family has announced the en-
gagement. In the newspapers,
mind you, in the newspapers.
And you expect me to let people
laugh at me and pity me be-
cause you've taken it into your
head that you don't care for me
any more.
"I've stayed away from you
too long" he decided, "or else
you've heard some gossip or
other about me-and it's made
you jealous. Is that it?"
mo" Susan shook her head.
II did hear some gossip about
you and Eleanor Kendall, but
it didn't make me jealous"
She took the Ludlow and Lud-
low box, with the ring in it,
from her lap and laid it on the
tablecloth with the watch brace
let beside it.
Il want to give these back to
you, Wallace" She showed them
across the table to him with the
tip of one finger.
Wallace picked up the ring
box. He held it out to her so
that she could see the words

across the cover.

} afraid that he'll go to the folks
about it next time he comes
here to see me-"
You'd better tell the family
about it while I'm here to back
you up. If you don't you'll
weaken as soon as they find out
about it and start working on
you and first thing you'll
know you'll be dragging a we'd
ding veil up the aisle to Wallie
Steffen I'll call him and tell
the family what you're doing,
too, if you want me to. I'd en-
joy it"
Susan's gray eyes widened
with alarm. "Oh, no, John!
Please don't do anything!" she
begged. IF the family got it
into their heads that I was
turning Wallace down they'd
think it was because of Allen.
And they'd probably put him
out"
The Departure
"What of it?" John wanted
to know. "He could go over to
Cullens' and take the room
that Comics leaving empty,
couldn't he? And he'd be treat
ed like a human being there
instead of as a thug"
He ran downstairs to break
the news that he was going
away to the family and Susan
cried as she packed his tennis
racket and his boxes of type
writer paper, and the Bible that
had belonged to his mother.
Susan left the house with
him. They were to go to the
Cullens' to pick up Connie on
their way to the station, and
as they started toward Mills
Road they saw Allen step from
a street car that stopped at the
corner. 1t was his night to go
to his law class, and Susan had
a sick uneasy conviction that
he had come home early to
hear what she had to tell him
about Wallace.
He came up to them and
spoke to John. catching Susan's
hand in his for an instant,

, But she said nothing and climb
ed into the taxicab.
John was standing in the hall
of the house when she walked
in at two O'Clock. It was the
time Of after-luncheon maps and
the house was silent except for
the ticking of the white marble
clock. Johns hat lay on the
hall table, but he was wearing
his overcoat, a new dark blue
one that Susan never had seen
before.
where you been for the last
two hours?" he asked as she
pushed open the vestibule door.
"I called here three times trying
to reach you. Connie and I were
married an hour ago." 1t was
like John to toss an important
fact to her in just that off-hand
way.
Were leaving for Omaha
tonight, she and l." he said.
"Tonight?" She shook her
head and her voice trembled on
the word. All week long the
knowledge that John was going
away very soon had clouded the
back Of her mind. It had been
there behind all her thoughts Of
Allen, her happiness. why I
thought it wasn't settled, John.
And I thought that even if you
did go, it wouldn't be until next
Sunday" She burst into tears.
She felt Johns hand on her
shoulder. "Come on, Susie,
cheer up," he was saying. This
is a chance in a thousand for
me, and you've got to be tickled
to pieces about it-and you can
come out to visit us as soon as
we get settled. Buck up and
help me get my clothes packed,
will you?"
Susan followed him UP the
stairs and began to set his
necktieS while he ran up into
the attic for his trunk. A long
time ago, in this very room, he
had written his first sports
article, an account of a basket
ball game for his high school
paper.
