OF course, Broadway has wondered
for some time whether its most colorful
playboy and its most fascinating woman are
through with marriage for keeps. Miss Joyce
has on several occasions limited that although
marriage has endowed her with fabulous
collection of jewels and a handsome income
for life. it has not bequeathed her the precious
commodity called happiness.
Mr. Manvile. on the other hand, has often
conceded he has plueked something of con-
tentment and pleasure out of each of his
marital ventures-in fact that his eX-wives
are his best friends-but that now, being well
into his well-fed forties. he is wondering
whether the price he paid for release was
worth the fun.
Conservatively. it is estimated that Miss
Joyce's quartet of marriages plus a coy
handful of near-marriages has enriched her
in jewels. bonds real estate and cash to APP

Clevelander Traps Opponents by Not Bidding Strength

I had the pleasure recently of meeting I. r. (Nate) daffney, the new president of the Cleveland Whist Club. Mr. 0aRney is one of the national bank examiners and was in New York City on ofElcial business. He told me that in accept ing the presidency of the Cleveland Whist Club, one of the large units of the American Contract Bridge League, he gave them to under stand he was interested only in the 'slumpy." If there is one thing he loves to do, it Is to sit down against 6 couple of experts and make some kind of bid or play that sends them away from the table talking to themselves.
 After you see that Irish twinkle in Gaffney'g eyes, you can imagine how well he can do that. And be- fore he left New York, he had the pleasure of pulling this one of on couple of the experts.
 After the opening club bid, oaR- ney, sitting West, bid one heart inc stead Of one diamond. This choice had two objects. One was to try out the heart suit while it could be bid at one. But what MT. 0afgney was really interested in was in COra- ceaiing his diamond suit.
