upon which Of the opponents you

dropping Is slightly better. than even,
hence you should lay down the ace.
With only 10 cards, however, the
finesse is better. Similarly, If the
missing honor is queen, you play
for the drop with nine and try
finesse with eight.
Consider this situation! Dummy

pick on the left-hand opponent. You

sibly the actual words Thank you"
should imply.
Very brief advice is to try to present
your subject clearly and as simply as
you can. Remember that the bore
wraps up what she has to say in so
much wordage, that its meat is as
difficult to get at as that in scarcely
cracked hickory nut. The delightful
speaker never tries to make an i'm
preston or, as matter of fact, thinks
about herself at all. She is first of all
one who not only knows her subject
thoroughly, but who has the ability
to impart what she knows in easily
digested feelings.
The obstacle between the erudite
speaker and her audience is that she
takes it for granted that they speak
her language as fluently as she does.
She is inclined to be carried away by
her personal interest in her subject
and talk to please herself, in a Ian
guage that is Ineligible to only a few
and interesting to fewer.
