Silodor liked this hand from 1944, as 1t breaks one of the first rules we learn in bridge, Do not give de- clarer & ruff and stuff
 Declarer won Silodor's opening lead with the ace of diamonds, pulled two rounds of trump, cashed the king and ace of hearts, and ruffed a heart, and now led a dia- mond. Silodor won it with the queen and calmly returned a diamond. This gave the delcarer the opportun- ity to ruff in one hand and stuff in the other.

Husbands Gifts Show
 State Of Your Romance

Well, it probably is foollSh, put it is a foolishness of which most women highly approve. Because when a man starts buying woman nothing but practical gifts she can be sure the romance in their re- lationship is gone.

 MIGHT TEACH WOMEN, TOO
 The store owners observation about men ought to teach women couple of lessons, too.
 One: If you want your husband to like to buy presents for you, never try to steer him away, from the frivolous and toward the pure- ly practical.
 And two: Don't slight glamor. however hard it is to achieve, what with all the work and worry that pile up when bride becomes a housewife and mother.
