grand slam bonus. If the bid is
seven hearts f1nesse Is not required,
for the diamonds can be set up by
trumping the third lead in the closed
hand and the losing club may be
discarded when dummy is re-en-
tered with the king of spades.
There were seven tables in the
play, and at none Of them was q
grand slam reached in either Of the
red suits or in no-trump. At four
tables three no-trump was the bid,
and at all except one a grand siam
was made One player in the North
did not take the diamond finesse and
made six. At three tables four
hearts was the bid and seven made.
There is much satisfaction in
playing hand where the illnesses
are right as they were on this board.
North's opening bid was heart;
South responded with two diamonds,
and North's second call was two
no-trump. In some instances South
bid three no-trump and in others
four hearts. and there the bidding
stopped. Then signs Of regret be-

my partner in the South was
dealer and opened the bidding with
one club. West passed and I called
one spade. East passed and my
partner then bid two hearts. My
second bid was four hearts. There
the bidding rested and we made a
small slam. My partner contends
that my second bid was wrong: that
I should have said five hearts in
stead of four. I disagree with him.
What do you say?"
Miss K. @. B.-Your partner was
quite right, If we may be so unchiv-
alrous as to say so. When he rebid
at the level of two in a suit he was
forcing you to express a possible
preference at the level of three. In
doing so he indulged in what is
known as reverse bidding" and
thereby showed hand of distribu-
tional strength. His second call also
showed one Of two things, that he
probably had six clubs and five
hearts, in which case he may have
had minimum honor strength, or
he had five clubs and four hearts,
in which event he must have held at
least four honor tricks. Your hand
is not so constituted that you may
invite a slam by bidding four no

SNITS, TNUFkERS- AND SHOES

BY the early eighteenth century
the price of manufacturing a pair of
shoes was two or three shillings plus
room and meals. Sometimes the cob
bier was paid in farm products exclu-
sively. Some of these early shoemakers
we're farmers who practiced the trade
as side line during the winter months.
Eventually the travelling cobbler
was replaced by established shops in
the towns. In these little shops the
craftsmen produced shoes for mer-
chants who furnished the leather.
Other changes gradually developed in
the industry and fairly early in the
nineteenth century machinery was ip-
troduced for preparing leather and
manufacturing shoes.

does. Hip-length fur coats are for

velvet turbans that twist to cone

fezzes, Robin Hood hats, poke bon
nets and small hats with upturned
brims all help to add inches.
Scale your accessories to your size.
