When playing a hand in no
trump, we are naturally little
afraid of the suit that may be open
ed by our opponents. Sometimes,
however, you can use the opponents
suit to your advantage. In winning
the Eastern women's pair cham
pionship, Mrs. Mckinney did just
that in the hand shown today.
The opening club lead was won
in dummy with the king. Four
rounds of diamonds were cashed,
East discarding heart and spade.
At this point Mrs. McKenney led
back the club, West won and cashed
four club tricks.
On the last club East had to
make discard, and you can see
his trouble. To discard the nine of
spades would bare his king. To give
up small heart would allow de-
clarer to pick up the remaining
hearts with her ace and king, and
the heart suit would be good &.
and again East would be squeezed.

Farmhouse Offers
Inspiration for
New Home Plan
Pennsylvania Type
Featured in Series
By LocoI Designers

The Pennsylvania farmhouse fur
nishes inspiration for the house plan
featured today in the series supplied
for The Star by the Washington
Metropolitan Section of the Mary
land Society Of Architects. This
house. according to its designer,
Ronald Senseman, sTakoma Park
architect, is meant for family ION
the way up" He points out that it
is in perfect balance with either
wing left off
The stone in this localit4 is par
ticularly suited for this type of con-
struction because it is not unusually
Jagged and can easily be laid in
broken -coursed ashlar with the joints
left unpainted, Mr.. Senseman points
out The combining of the stone
and the wood is not disturbing. but
adds to the character, as does the
light panel and dark lowered shut
tiers.
Many people today are inspired
with the building urge. he says, but
feel that their means are too limited
to build the house of their dreams.
These people would never be salts
fed with compromise in the form
of low-cost house. 1t Is then time
to think of the possibilities of
house that will grow to meet their
future requirements.
Terrace at Rear.
The house is designed with the
service on the front where there is
easy access to the two exterior doors,
saving many steps and providing
proper circulation. The living quar-
ters are properly located to open onto
the privacy OF rear outdoor living
terrace which could be in part or
fully covered, if desired.
The first section Of the house
shown In black on the plan is of
stone and frame with red cedar
shingles or asbestos shingles to sim
ulate them. The unit has 4 large
living room which would be COM
bined with dining room until the
other wing is constructed. The en-
trance hall is ample and supplied
with adequate light and closet space
with an attractive set of stairs.
The second floor, plan OF which is
not shown. has two large bed
rooms, but is flexible so that three
small ones could be provided with
little extra expense. This first unit
based on an estimated cost OF 40
cents per cubic foot would cost
about $500 with a fully excavated
basement. and excluding lot.
The wing to be added next would
be the dining room wing with the
two-car garage attached. The con-
struction of this wing would be
essentially the same as the main
portion of the house. and based on
the same cost would be about $4,000
The second wing, which is also
of stone, is flexible because it can
be built two stories high with wall
face dormers at the second floor
This wing, one story high and built
like the other wing without excava-
tion, would cost about $500 at
the same estimated cost per cubic
foot.
