The Immaculate Conception church was the scene of pretty wedding this morning at o'clock when Miss Birdie T. Hussey of Prospect street became the bride of John D. Crowley of West Main street. Rev Francis O'Shea off, ciated at the ceremony and also celebrated the nuptial mass which followed. Miss May O'Flaherty was the maid of honor and only attendant of the bride and Michael Nolan attended MT Crowley as best
 man. Palms, ferns and cut flow CTS decorated the altar and a spe- cial program of nuptial music was rendered with William O'Brien as soloist.
 The bride was attired in a gown of ivory satin fashioned in Prin- cess lines and wore a turban styled with a nose veil. She carried an arm bouquet of Killarney roses. Her attendant wore q frock of baby blue satin with pink inserts, styled in Lanvin model with which she wore a corresponding turban and nose veil. Her arm bouquet consisted of Talisman roses.
 A reception was held at Waverly Inn for the immediate families fol- lowing the ceremony. The couple left on an unannounced wedding trip, the bride wearing an eel gray travelling dress with matching &C., cessories. Upon returning they will take up their residence at ~ South View street.

got in, he decided he would try to make his opponents believe that he held strength in diamonds by concealing his strength in spades.
 He did not take the first spade trick with his ace or king, but ruffed it in dummy with the four of clubs and then returned the king of clubs, which West had to win with his singleton ace.
 There still was trump in dummy. So West did not continue the spade suit. The question for West to decide was whether to lead a heart or a diamond.
 Hearts had been denied by South in the bidding. Diamond strength had been shown not only in the bidding of no trump, but also in the play.
 While some may say that Vests judgment was wrong, nevertheless he decided that the best possibility of defeating the contract was to lead heart through dummy's ace- jack.
 The heart was led and now, of course, the hand could be spread for six odd.
 It is true that, if West had led a diamond, the declarer would have gone down two tricks. But it was we'll worth gambling on going down an extra trick to make the contract.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Mistake Helps Decarer Player Avoids Going Down Two Tricks By Covering Up Losses And Letting
 Opponents Guess Wrong.
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY, Secretary of the American Bridge League
Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem


 Hands that are played letter per feet are not always the most in- teresting. The hand at which you steal a trick or give your opponents a chance to make mis- take, and it works, always gives great satisfaction.
 To-d:. .ys hand was sent me by Fred Rodell of the Yale university School of Law. Rodell and his partner, William Parson, by bid ding bravely and by giving the opponents chance to make mis- take, made their contract. While the bidding might be termed little optimistic, the play | was thought out carefully. Vests opening lead was the queen of spades. Rodell could see that, while two losing diamonds could be discarded on the ace and king of spades, the opponents could cash the ace of diamonds and the ace of clubs.
